But the Weasley's where the most excesive; Mrs Weasley came running andhugged Ron and Harry at the time and squashed them together, the twins gave Harry(and even Ron) a clap on their sholder, Bill and Charlie hugged them and Percy gave them the hand, and Ginny hugged Ron, hugged Harry and kissed him on the cheek but realy close to his lips, luckily neither Hermione nor Sarah saw it.

Four days until the depart to Hogwards and he still had to buy his books. He sent an owl to the Dursley's that he was ok( he doubted it maid any differnce if he didn't)and that he would be staying at the Leaky Cauldron.

Next day Harry, Hermione and Sarah they went to visit muggle London, Sarah's father had invited Harry and Hermione to a party in a large house at the edge of London. They got there by underground and Mr Smith rented a car to the large house.

The house was large it had nine bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs the person who gave them the invitation was a german detective called Steffan Klein. The house was on the to of a hill.

'Welcome to my house' said Mr Klein ' There will be a feast this afternoon with five other guests, there'll all detectives.'

The teenagersexplored the grounds and left there lugage in the rooms and the rooms had numbers; Harry's was number four, Hermione's was number three and Sarah's was number eight. There was a large kitching and a medium dining room, the bedrooms were about the same size there was a large living room. Where to Harry's surprise there was a portrait of Gordric Griffinor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rovena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. He told it emedeadly Hermione and Sarah.

'How come the pictures don't move' wondered Hermione 'How can this be?' asked Sarah

When they where about to ask Mr Klein about the portraits the other guests arrived. There was a tall bald man called James Hall not a lot musculature but rather skinny, a small filled redhaired woman called Merelin Fresh, a blond tall man with glasses called Daniela Johnson, a brown haired short stoky man Jack Aurbrey, a dark man called William Tell.

All of the guests came by taxi except the owner he had his own car and Sarah's father who rented one. When the newcommers left their lugage in their rooms. Mr Klein gave an anouncement.

'Before we start dinner I'll had you all a test, and the winner will become a trip to Mayorca for two persons for a week next summer' said Mr Klein 'To make shure that no one peeks I have camera's and microphones installed in every room, I will like every book handed to me and mobile phones, I myself will not compete. Let the feast begin!'

When they finished eating Mr Klein disapeared, it was only seven o'clock in the afternoon, everyone went to their reapective beds except Hermione, she went to Harry's, they where talking about memories about other years until Ginny and Sarah joined.

'So where do you go to school Sarah? Asked Hermione politely. 'I go to a Spanish school called Vicente Tena Escuela de Magia y Hechiceria' answered Sarah. 'It means Vicente Tena school of Wizardry and Witchecraft, if you trranslate it' 'In Spain we've got hollidays until 16th of September' They where talking and commenting things until Harry suggested to go and sleep(it was twelve o'clock).

Next morning they all awoke and had breakfast but Mr Klein stil hadn't apeared. They spent the day playing games and talking. It was already past seven in the afternoon.

'I'm beginning to think that he just wanted to play a trick on us' said Mr Henry in a angry tone. 'I'm going' said Mrs Johnson. When she was about to leave they all saw how Mr Klein's carstarted driving, shoked Harry ran outside along with Mr Hall the car wasn't on there was a clicking noise and Mr Klein was sitting on the drivers chair very stif and the dashboard was covered with a big cloth the carfell from the hill and exploded.

Harry emedeadly began to search on the ground for water tracks which he didn't find. Mr Smith wanted to call the police but then he remembered that Mr Klein took them from their owners so no one could cheat for the test.

Mr Smith ran to the kitchen and found that every moble phone was destroyed, he went to his bedroom to get his keys, ran down.

'Spare your breath, dad' said Sarah miserably 'the oil tank is destroyed and the battery is empty'

Mr Smith looked for himself and found that the oil wasall around the car.

'Ladies and gentleman' said James Hall'there is a murderer among us, I suggest thatwe all go back in the house and in the same room'

Everyone was now in the living room, it was past midnight when Hermione suggested to make some coffee. Sarah came with her, without warnig the light went out every one was in panick now, it was one o'clock when they went to bed.

They day was quiet until three o'clock. Everyone was in the kitchen.

'I know who the murderer is' said Mrs Fresh 'I got proof, and I will let him ten minutes to show himslef, if he doesn't I will' There was a loud scilence broken by Mrs Frsh. 'I have to go to the toilet' said Mrs Fresh. 'I will wait outside' said Mr Tell. 'If you insist' said Mrs Fresh with a grin

Mr Tell came back ten minutes later. 'She locked herself up' said Mr Tell. They waited for another ten minutes until Mrs Johnson suggested the worst. Everyone went to the door of the bathroom banging it and then she opened it.

'You know its rude to wait there?' she said sarcasticly 'So... who's the murderer?' asked Mr Smith excited. 'Sorry, made a mistake' said Mrs Johnson. 'I knew it' said Sarah bitterly 'I knew she was bluffing'

They went all back to the livingroom, at half past four Mrs Johnson had enough, she said she wanted some fresh air.

'I don't blame her' said Harry.

There was a loud explosion. It came from the garage, everyone was panicked now, Harry was sure that Mrs Johnson was dead.

And he was right, when they extinguished the fire they found her burned body.

Once again they went back to the livingroom, Hermione and Sarah went to make some coffee, without warning the lights went out, Harry put out his wandthere was a man's scream, Mr Smith's, he was stabbed by a knife on his arm just after he put his lighter on, seconds later there was a noize of a broken glass.

When the light was on again, all the chairs where on there correct place except one. 'He must have fled throw the window' said Mr Smith 'Nonsence' said Hermione 'If you look at the peaces of glass on the chair you can see he used the chair, but why put it back again? That means that the double murderer is still here'

Harry went to the kitchen and found that a metal wire was connected on either sides of the plug of the coffee machine, by meaning, that if the plug was inserted the light would fall out. Harry got it, he knew who the murderer was and how he done it.

'I know who the double murder is' said Harry 'Do you know it Hermione?' 'Yes, it was William Tell' said Hermione. 'I know how he done it' said Sarah 'Lucky I study physiology in summers' she said grinning. 'Ok who wants to say it?' asked Harry 'Well I'm sure we all got some different proofs, lets go down and Harry begins, ok?' she asked, it waas't really a question she just took Harry's hand and motioned Sarah to folow them.

'We know who the double muderer is' anounced Harry 'To begin with, the muderer killed Mr Klein the first evening, and put him in his car, as we know the body is on his original state for about twenty four hours, but the body was stif a time before that, that meansif you heat the body up the process goes faster so the body was earlier stif than normal, what Mr Hall and I heard wasn't the airco but the heating, the murderer put the cloth so that we couldn't see that the heating was on it accelerated because the murderer put on a wait on Mr Klein's foot from the brake there would be a moment when it slipt that's why it went faster all of a sudden.'

'Very good Harry' said Sarah 'The murderer killed Mrs Fresh by seting a trap, the murderer told her that she could have the tickets if she went to the car, she couldn't see anything because the murderer has emtyed the battery, so what would a smocker do? Put on a lighter and then we saw what happened. Your turn Hermione'

'Thank you' said Hermione 'Originally the murderer wanted to kill Mr Smith, because he had enough people who could afirm his alliby. But something unexpected happened, Mrs Fresh knew who the murderer was so he had to send her to the garage. But to kill Mr Smith he had to improvis, by putting a metal string around the plug, so that when Sarah and I made some coffee the lights when out.' 'So who's the murderer?' asked Mr Hall 'It was Mr Tell' said Harry Hermione and Sarah at the same time.

'You have no proof of that' spat Mr Tell. 'Yes we have' said Harry 'Show us the test Mr Klein did, here and now'

Mr Tell went to his knees, the police came and took him to jail.

Mr Smith brought Harry and Hermione back to Diagon Ally where they brought there books met up with Ron.
