It was a nice summery day outside. Harry Potter was lounging on the couch in Ron Weasley's home, the Burrow. He, along with his other best friend Hermione Granger, had decided to spend the summer with Ron's family. Everything was fine, until he opened the letter he had just received.
Dear Mr. Potter,
Due to events in result of the War last year, the Ministry has proposed that you and your classmates should return to Hogwarts School of Witchcrraft and Wizardry to finish your education.
However, due to the fact that you are legally of age, you have a choice as to whether or not you would like to finish your schooling. I would strongly suggest that you return, in part because of your lack of attendance due to your honorable participation in defeating the Dark Lord; resulting in you missing an adequate portion of your learning and education.
Should you decide to return, I will send an owl detailing the things you will need for your classes. I await your reply.
Enjoy your Holidays.
Regards,
Minerva McGonagall
Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Harry was shocked. He waited for Ron and Hermione to finish reading their letters. Each letter had mentioned the same thing, however Hermione's letter also congratulated her on obtaining the position of Head Girl. After they had all read their letters, they looked at each other in awe.
"I can't believe we're going back," Hermione said softly. She was the first to break the silence.
"Who says we're going back?" Ron scoffed.
"Ronald! We have to! We can't go into the Wizarding World without finishing our education!" Hermione argued. "Harry? What do you think?" Hermione turned to look at her other best friend, who hadn't said anything since finishing the letter.
"She's right mate," Harry said slowly, "Besides, how will we ever become Aurors without an education?" A slow grin crept onto his face.
"Oh all right!" Ron surrendered.
"Yes!" Hermione hugged Ron, which resulted in him blushing a furious scarlet.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had ran in from the kitchen to see what all the commotion was about, while Ginny came sprinting down the stairs with a letter in her hand as well.
The four Weasleys, plus Harry and Hermione, started chatting animatedly about the return to school and when they should make a trip to Diagon Alley to get their school things.
