(Letter II)

Well.

Harry Potter, you say? Really. Well then, Harry Potter, I'll have you know, I'm not so sure you're real. See, in my world, what you call the "muggle world", there's a series of books, the Harry Potter Books, written by J.K. Rowling. They're all about a wizard boy by the name of Harry Potter, who has a tragic past and an adventurous few years at the magic school called Hogwarts. There are 5 books in all:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, year 1 at Hogwarts,

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, year 2 at Hogwarts,

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, year 3 at Hogwarts,

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, year 4 at Hogwarts,

And

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, year 5 at Hogwarts.

All in all, Harry Potter is a very famous name. Imagine my surprise to find a snowy white owl tapping its beak at my window at 1:30 in the night, while I was watching TV. Imagine my continued surprise as I let the owl in – it soared once around my room, and dropped a yellowish envelope on my bed. Imagine my further surprise to open the envelope and find a letter, from Harry Potter!

And, true, no-one I know delivers letters by owl, written on parchment, but still. How am I supposed to know you're not just a kid who wants to pull a prank on somebody? True, you gave quite a detailed description of your 5 years at Hogwarts, but anyone could do that, having read the books.

Tell you what. I'll ask you a question that I think only the real Harry Potter would know: in what order are the House Tables arranged in the Great Hall? From left to right. Try book 4.

So, I'll leave this at that.

I'm not telling you who I am yet, since I can't very well be sure who you are.

For now, we'll settle for...

 

A Stranger.

So, people, how did you like that? Please tell me that was ok. I did try, so give me a break. I'll wait for your reviews before posting the next letter; I won't do it if you don't review.

So please review!!!!

-Snitch.

p.s.

About the question about the table arrangements...

In book 1, during the Sorting, the Sorting Hat puts "Abbot, Hanna!" in Hufflepuff, and the table on the right clapped, "Boot, Terry!" went to Ravenclaw and the table second to the left cheered, and "Brown, Lavender!" went to Gryffindor and the table on the far left cheered, which leads me to the conclusion that, from left to right, the tables go in this order: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff.

But in the 4th book, in the chapter The Four Champions, when Fleur's name is called, it says that she walks up between the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables, which AREN'T next to each other, and that when Harry's name was called, he walked up between the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables, which AREN'T next to each other, either!

Sorry for any confusion...

Please REVIEW!!!!!
