CHAPTER 2

It was almost the end of Harry's 5th year at Hogwarts and Harry wasn't at all happy about having to go back to the Dursleys for the summer. But little did he know that he wasn't going back to the Dursleys this summer.

"I have something very important to tell you all," said Dumbledore one evening at dinner "Our Quidditch teams have been invited to Uluru academy of magic in Australia for a tournament over the holidays" Harry thought this was great he had a huge grin on his face " Also Tomorrow a competition will take place for all who wish to accompany the Quidditch teams, this will be a written test which will include Questions from all subjects".

Harry and Ron both looked at Hermione. " Alright, alright" she said, "I get the point".

The Gryffindor Quidditch team had a meeting first thing the next morning, "we're going to win" said Ron who was now the Quidditch captain "This means a lot of hard work but I think we can pull it off". The whole team groaned "You sound just like wood" said Harry, Wood was Gryffindor's old Quidditch captain but he had left Hogwarts and was now playing for the world famous Chuddley Cannons which just happened to be Ron's favourite Quidditch team!

After Transfiguration later that day Hermione went to the Defence Against Dark Arts classroom to take the exam that could win her the trip to Australia. Harry and Ron wished her good luck and went to the Gryffindor common room where they talked about Quidditch tactics until Hermione returned. "How did you go?" asked Ron when she got back "Alright I think" said Hermione "But I should have studied a bit more" "Hermione, you study enough already," said Harry but Hermione wasn't listening. "Dumbledore is going to announce the winners at dinner tonight" said Hermione "there was lot of people who did the exam you know, there was at least 10 from each year level" "You don't need to worry, you know you're head of the class" said Ron sympathetically "yeah but they are only letting 5 people go" said Hermione "It's no big deal Hermione" said Harry "Don't worry" but by this point Hermione had stopped listening altogether and had her nose stuck in a book.

" Silence" shouted Dumbledore after everyone had finished their dinner (Hermione hadn't touched hers) "I have the winners of the competition and they are Millicent Bullstrode, Terry Boot, Penelope Rat, and the person with the highest score was Hermione Granger" with this Ron, Harry and Hermione jumped up and hugged each other.
