Chapter 2- Excitement in the Castle.
When they reached the main entrance they saw many of their year hanging around the school notice board. Harry and Tahli wondered what was happening so they took a peek. On the board a big notice read-
NOTICE TO ALL 5TH YEARS.
On Friday 25th May the 5th year students of Hogwarts witchcraft and wizardry are invited to go to Ferderzana School of witchcraft and wizardry in the United States of America.
To attend this fantastic experience you must NOT have any house points taken of you in the past week and in the following week to come.
The rare few that can come will be notified on the Tuesday before we leave. This date will be the 22nd May.
Thankyou
Professor McGonagall
Happiness was every among the 5th grade that day none could be unhappy unless they were not accounted for in the excursion. Harry well knew that he would be going. Today was great for him and he felt great as well, he had met a beautiful girl and was going to America. Harry hadn't seen Tahli since he read the notice, she had run of awfully quick. So Harry had just followed Ron into the Great Hall for breakfast. Through breakfast he told Ron all about Tahli.
When Harry arrived at lunch he found a seat next to Tahli! "Oh Yeah! SCORED!" Harry though to himself.
"Hey Harry!" Tahli said almost immediately.
"Hey, where did you go his morning?" Harry asked "I hope I didn't scare you off?!"
"Nah of course not!" Tahli laughed "I had to run to my owl and send a letter to my friends in America. Gosh Harry the school we are going to is my old one!" Tahli smiled brightly "I mean I have always loved to come here but I miss my friends terribly and now I get to see them again!"
"Cool! I can't wait to meet them!" Harry grinned, he looked over to Ron who was sitting opposite (and had obviously been listening) and he was grinning too.
The next week went very fast! On Tuesday 22nd May Harry was delighted to receive and letter from Hedwig.

"Harry! Did you get a letter?" Tahli asked holding up her own.
"Yeah! I can't wait!" Harry nearly yelled, "I wonder how we are getting there?"
"Yeah!"
The build up to Friday seemed like forever but finally Thursday night came. Harry checked he had everything and climbed into bed. As he lay awake he thought of how good his relationship was going with Tahli, they had become very close in the last couple of days and Harry thought she was a great mate, Harry soon feel asleep.
