Tobias' Problem
Kristen was doing her homework from Hogwarts. She can't for her second year at the school because she is not allowed to use magic outside the school. Over the first a couple of weeks, she had written to her friends, Tobias, Sean, Steven, Shannon, Amy, Ginny, and Colin.
One day, Kristen was surprised by s large Great Horned Owl that landed in her room. She knew that it was of been Tobias' owl, Farnsworth. Tobias mentioned on the train he had a Great Horned Owl.
Kristen took the letter, the owl dropped on the floor. Just as she picked up Tobias' letter, another owl swooped in dropped two other letter and flew out. The first letter that the owl dropped was a letter from Hogwarts and the second was from Hagrid. She read the Hogwarts letter first.

Kristen then opened Tobias letter and began to read. He was asking her about forming a Quidditch team for the upcoming Summer Youth Witch and Wizard games. He was going to be the Seeker, Sean the Keeper, and Shannon one of the chasers. He was wondering if she could be a Chaser. Tobias asked if she knew anyone who could be the third Chaser and two beaters.

That night at the apartment Tobias was living at with his mother, he was working on his report on the first witches and wizards for History of Magic. He had extra schoolwork than the other students in his year since he spent most of his first year as a hawk.
If he got a Quidditch team for The Young Witch and Wizard games, he planned to work on his schoolwork in the dorms where everyone in the games was living between events. He planned to do other events as well. He planned to play Shuntbumps (a broomstick joisting game) and signed up for one Muggle sport (Archery).
He was lying on his bed finishing the final flew words of his report when his owl returned with Kristen's answer. After taking the letter from Farnsworth, he began reading. Farnsworth flew to his cage.
Tobias, I would be glad to be on your Quidditch team but I don't have a broom or any Quidditch training. I know two beaters Steven and Keven Burley from Hufflepuff and my friend Amy from Gryffindor could be a Chaser.
Kristen
Tobias forgot that Kristen never played Quidditch before and doesn't own a broomstick. He needed to get her trained for her position and she need a broom.
He needed a new broom too. The Comet 260 that he owned was too slow to be a seeker. He is going to buy a Cleansweep 7 when he is getting his school things and stuff for the Games.
Tobias got off his bed and walked down the hall. He looked into his mother's room and saw that she was on the phone.
"Yes, I believe that Tobias is going to wrong school with his marks back in his last school." He heard her say. "I got a letter from Smeltings the other day and they offering Tobias a scholarship and I might consider it."
Tobias was shocked. His mother was planning to transfer him to a non-wizard school. He loved Hogwarts and he didn't want to go to Smeltings.
"I telling him tomorrow," she continued. "I will make sure he will take advantage of this scholarship and go to a decent school."
She hung up the phone and Tobias stormed into the room. "I am not going to Smeltings, mom."
"You will go there and like it." She retorted. "I changed my mind about the wizard stuff. Now you will sent a letter to Hogwarts and tell them you will not be returning this year."
"No, I won't." Tobias interrupted. "All my friends are at Hogwarts."
"You will make new ones at Smeltings. Now stop arguing and go to your
room we will continue this in the morning."
That night, Tobias started to pack up his clothes into a backpack. He put his books, school robes, and broomstick in his heavy trunk. He took his bag of wizard money and his wand and put them in his jacket.
He waited until his mother was asleep. He knew that his mother was a heavy sleeper and nothing woke her up. At around midnight, Tobias left the apartment building dragging his heavy trunk with Farnsworth in his cage on top behind him.
Tobias walked down a few blocks getting looks from the people around him. When he entered an empty street he pulled put his wand and pointed it toward the road. There was a loud BANG and a blinding bright light.
The Knight bus came. The young conductor was wearing a purple uniform. "Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Just stick out your wand hand, step on board and we can take you anywhere you want to go. My name is Stan Shunpike, and I will be your conductor this evening."
"How much would get me to London?" Tobias asked.
"Twelve Sickles," said Stan, "but for fifteen you get 'or chocolate, and for sixteen you get an 'ot water bottle an' a toothbrush."
Tobias gave him some of his wizard money. He and Stan lifted the trunk with the owl cage into the bus. Farnsworth was asleep in his cage under his wing.
"Woss your name?" Stan asked.
"Tobias Redtail." He answered.
Stan took Tobias past the driver into the back where a dozen brass beds were. There were a few other witches and wizard on board the Knight Bus. Most were sleeping. One witch was knitting a jumper.
Tobias sat on one of the empty beds. He took out pieces
a parchment and began to write letters for Kristen, Shannon, Keven, Amy,
Steven, and Sean.
