Disclaimer, I own neither the Harry Potter series nor any other series mentioned or involved in this. If you believed that I did, then that mask of your may be a little too tight.

Dear Albus,

First, I would like to thank you for extending an invitation to my great nephew, but we must politely decline. Harry has already begun something of a private regimen under my tutelage, as well as attending classes with the girls of my school.

Harry has said he would rather stay here and I know the girls would just be devastated if he left, although most of them would probably deny it. You know how youngsters can be with their first crush.

Ah, to be young again.

But, at any rate, you can feel free to stop by and visit if you'd like, it would be nice to reconnect with an old acquaintance.

Sincerely,

Griselda Grimwood

"Albus, It's so good to see you!"

The voice chilled Dumbledore's old bones to the core as a stout woman exited the Beauxbatons carriage.

Schooling his expression, Dumbledore smiled, as much as the rest of his body and mind protested the action, "Madam Grimwood, it's so good to see you again. I must say this is certainly a surprise."

"Yes, well, I had been planning a visit to Olympe's, let my girls see the world, maybe soak up some foreign culture, and to my surprise, Olympe tells me about this delightful competition, so I thought we'd may an extended trip of it, we'll be here for the whole thing."

"Oh, how wonderful," Dumbledore's voice was stressed. Oh, how he wished he had some forewarning to prepare, maybe retire so he'd only have to be here for the official days, and not have to deal with this woman every day.

"Come along, Harry, Girls, don't dawdle."

"Coming auntie," a voice called from the carriage.

Dumbledore's eyes shot open, he'd almost forgotten who would be with Grimwood as the dark haired teen descended the carriage stairs...

Earning gasps, and a couple screams, from the Hogwarts students as he was accompanied by a werewolf and a vampire, carrying a small mummified girl and followed by a ghost and a gigantic girl who, from her numerous stitches, looked almost like she had been assembled from the body parts of others, but that was just ridiculous...

Wasn't it?

A.N. I may add to this later, or make a whole new one-shot, but that's a matter for another day.

Also, I added a short story bit to Chapter 8: Ketchum, so go back and check it out.
