"Teddy, are you going home for Christmas?" London asked.
"Yeah," Teddy nodded, "Grandmum's having Harry's family over for once; instead of the other way around."
"Ah, I guess it'll just be us three," Adam said, nodding at his brothers.
"Let's get down to breakfast, before all the donuts are gone," Damien said, leading the way out the door.
Over breakfast, they discussed all of their plans for the holidays. The Danverses would be staying at Hogwarts while their parents visited a sick friend in Uruguay. They were planning to sneak into the Gryffindor common room and decorate it with Ravenclaw paraphernalia. When the mail came, Teddy was surprised to see an owl that he did not recognize deposit a large envelope in front of him.
"Wos' that, 'eddy?" London asked through a mouthful of fried egg.
"Dunno," Teddy shrugged, opening it.
He speared his ketchup covered sausage and took a bite as he began to read the letter. A moment later, Damien had to hit him repeatedly on the back as he choked. His bit of regurgitated sausage flew across the table and hit an unsuspecting Slytherin in the back of the head.
"What the hell, mate?" Adam asked.
Eyes watering and still coughing a bit, Teddy passed the letter to his friend. The watermark at the top and seal on the envelope said ACUI—Advanced Charms University of Ireland.

"Teddy, that's brilliant!" Adam shouted.
"You didn't tell us you'd actually applied!" Damien said, taking the letter and looking at it excitedly, "I thought you were still thinking about it."
"I decided to just do it," Teddy said, hair turning red as he blushed, "I didn't want you guys to get your hopes up for me, so I kept it quiet."
"Way to go, mate!" London grinned, "I think this calls for a party in the Shrieking Shack later on," his whispered to the other three.
