            Basically, I already have 4 chapters of this story done. I started writing it just as a joke when waiting for The Order of the Phoenix. Which reminds me, I should give my sisters Maggie and Chrissy credit for coming up with the title. However, I actually took the time to put this story into words so BLAH! On to Chapter 3.

            The next day, Hedwig came back with two responses. Harry read Sirius' first.

Dear Harry,

            It sounds like that good for nothing elf just wants to give you a run for your money. I think he gets a thrill out of "saving you life". I wouldn't think twice about it. Stay out of trouble this year!

                                    Sirius

Next, he read a letter from both Hermione and Ron.

Dear Harry:

            Hermione is staying at my house until the end of the holiday. Do you think it would be alright if you can come too? Ask the Muggles. If you don't send a response, we'll assume to come and get you. Dad got a new enchanted car so we'll pick you up on Wednesday this week. See you soon!

                        Ron and Hermione

P.S. Did you write that letter you sent us?

            This is wonderful, thought Harry. But he also wondered why they wrote the P.S. note and also why they completely ignored his problem that he wrote in the letter. Could it be that they noticed his problem? No, they are my friends, thought Harry, they don't pay attention to things like that.

            Without thinking about it anymore, he began to pack his things.
