Return of Professor Quirrel

"Ron, you're so sweet." Hermione was opening her Christmas gift from him: A magical quill that wrote in 78 different fonts and did a spell-check for you. She hugged him.

"Open mine, Ron." She said to him, handing him a blue package.

Ron got a bunch of candy from Hermione, as did Harry. Hermione got a Nimbus 196 from Harry, and Harry gave Ron a book of Prank Spells. Finally, Ron handed Harry a large oddly shaped gift.

"Wow, what could this be?" Harry said, as he opened it to find a Gryffindor Shield.

"Ron, where did you get this?" Harry asked.

" 'Found it. In my attic. Dad says its got the power to protect you from anything. I figured you might need it."

Hermione commented to Harry about her gifts and how she loved them, untill they realized that Breakfast had already started.

In the Great Hall, Neville showed off his new Remembrall 2. (New and Improved), and Seamus had a new Owl, he had named. Rupert. Pancakes with snow-like sugar on them, and Holiday cookies.

Mail came, and more presents scattered the hall. Harry got his Fifty Cents fro mthe Dursleys, and some Candy from Mrs. Weasley. He then picked up a small envelope.

He opened it and read the letter inclosed.

Dear Mr. Potter,

Be it scarlet, or turcoise or violet, or red,

this garmet belongs wound round your head.

- an old "friend"

Hermione could make no scence of it, nor Ron.

Who could be sending him these letters?

Then a horrible thought struch Harry, the answer to the riddle, was a turban.
