Halliwell Manor...

Piper was in the kitchen when her eldest son orbed into the room and grabbed the plate of food she had only just finished dishing out,

"Wyatt patience is a virtue," She called out to him as he went and sat in the dinning room,

"Yes mother," came the retort as he began eating. Chris also followed suit and began eating his breakfast, while Penny waited for her aunt to finish dishing out the last two plates before taking one for herself.

"So what are you three up to today?" Piper asked the teenagers as she sat down at the table,

"Skate park." came the unison answer from both the boys while Penny waited a moment before saying,

"Well I was going to hang around cause Gideon kept hinting at the end of the semester that he would be in contact with us over the winter break." Piper looked over at her niece worried and was about to say something as another person entered the room.

"No you don't young lady you have stayed home all holidays, you are going out." Paige said to Penny as she grabbed an apple from the fruit centerpiece and then took a bite from it.

"Ok I'll go out." Penny said and Paige looked at her skeptically as she left the room almost as if she thought that Penny had agreed to easily.

After breakfast both the boys left with their skateboards in hand, Penny went halfway up the stairs and opened the door to the school and entered while no one was looking. She walked down the hall and almost ran into Herman, whom was also an advanced student with Penny, Wyatt and Chris,

"Sorry," she said with a laugh.

"What's been happening around here?" Penny asked Herman as the two walked down the endless hallway.

"Nothing out of the ordinary, and Gideon hasn't been here all morning." Herman replied.

"How did you know I was looking for Gideon?" Penny asked him,

"You have been here everyday looking for Gideon, makes sense you would be yet again." Herman replied with a shrug.

"Good point." Penny agreed. Just then Gideon orbed in front of the two students and handed Herman an envelope while he handed Penny three, one for her and one each for Chris and Wyatt.

"About the coming year," Gideon said simply and then with a wave of his arm he disappeared.

"Yes now this is what I wanted, you want to come to my house and we can read em together?" Penny said knowing Herman would say yes as they had been friends since they started magic school together. Slick and Kane two advanced students were also good friends of hers.

The two exited the school and went into the lounge area of the manor just as Phoebe entered the room,

"So what have we here?" Phoebe asked as she sat down next to Penny as both Herman and Penny opened their letters, they were almost identical except for the names at the beginning and an added note at the bottom of Penny's:

To Penny Halliwell,

The students in the Advance Class at the magic school have been selected to attend Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry for the coming year. All the arrangements have been made and with some persuasion your parents have agreed along with the Professor Paige will attending Hogwarts as well as myself. As you are advanced students you will classify as 6th years while
attending their classes mainly so you can see how their world of magic works different from our own. You will still need to get the class supplies told to you last year but also uniform and dress robes will be available
from Madame Malkin's Robes. A door taking you directly to Diagon Alley where this store is situated in now situated in the main hall of the school
next to your usual classroom. You will meet in your classroom with your entire luggage on the night of August 31st so that we can travel to Kings
Cross Station together the to catch the Hogwarts Express.

Professor Gideon

Note: Penny, Cedric will be joining us to Hogwarts. We elders decided that
he will needed in this trip even if just to help the students adapt. He will be in his original house wither you are or not but like always you
will be his top priority.
