Chapter Two: Reactions I

"Open it"

"I don't want to. Why don't you open yours first? You got one, didn't you?"

"You're being such a child, Ronald. Ok, I'll open it first."

Ron watched as his girlfriend opened her enveloped. They had been at his mother's house when Herold had come in and had left it on his laps. They were still too shocked when another owl had brought the same letter to her.

"What does it say?" he asked.

"It's from Dumbledore" Lavender answer. (N/A: Don't kill me!). "It says that he's throwing a party to honor his 160° birthday and that he wants all of us there."

"All of us? Who's all of us?"

"It doesn't say."

"Well, let's send him a gift with a very polite note saying that we are too busy to attend. It's not a big deal."

"Here it says that we might turn him down. He says that we must attend or if not…"

"Or if not what?"

Lavender was about to answer when they heard a big knock at the door. None of them wanted to open it, but they didn't have to, because suddenly it was opened and a very big figure appeared. Lavender couldn't help but cry, and Ron would have done the same, but he recognized the man.

"Hagrid! You scared the crap out of me, man!" he said.

"I know it's been 10 years since we last saw each other but I didn't imagine that you'd be scare of me."

"I… You know…" tried to explain Ron, but he was cut by Hagrid.

"Listen, I'm very late. Dumbledore sends me to make sure that you get your invitations and that you'll be there on August, 1°."

"Hagrid… The thing is that…" started Lavender.

"Don't tell me I have to convince you too! I've just been at Neville's and he started crying when he saw me. Luckily, Luna helped me and we were able to talk him in…"

"So Neville is going?"

"Yeah, as well as Dean Thomas, Hannah Abbott and Terry Boot."

"Only them?"

"No way! Dumbledore insist everyone's there."

"Everyone? I hope you are not talking about…"

"I'm talking about everyone you could imagine. And also more… God knows what Dumbledore is planning to do! Anyway, you are going, aren't you?"

After a long pause, Lavender accepted and Hagrid was able to move to the next house on the list. Once he was gone the couple began to talk. Well… She talked and he just listened. He began to think about the list. Which of his class mattes would attend to this so call party? And what was the old man planning to do? He wanted to know, but he had to wait.
