4. Preparing The Meeting

Harry, Ron and Hermione were meeting almost every day and Hermione gave them clues for the meeting. A few students had already registered to the five. That meant the thing with the poster had worked.

But noone knew were the meeting would be set. As Hermione arrived at home someday from her friends she found a letter in her room. She opened this one immediately and read it carefully. Finally she knew something exact about the meeting.

She sat down and wrote a reply to Flitwick who had sent the first letter. In this one she wrote that the Weasleys and a few other students already knew about the meeting.

She also wrote that she would tell the other ones she wanted to invite.

The next day she went back to Ron´s house. As the Weasleys and Harry knew what she told him Harry asked: "Shall we go there on our own or do the parents have to come, too?"

"Don´t know. In my next letter to Flitwick I´m going to ask him", said Hermione. Now she turned to Fred and George: "Do you know the adresses from the students who registered for the meeting? If yes we could send letters to them where everything important´s in. If not the teachers must do that. Have you already asked Percy, Bill and Charly?"

"Oh, shit! We forgot them!", said George a little hastily. Now Hermione spoke to Ron and Harry: "You have to remind those two of anything!" The two of them nodded, agreeing.

Ron asked: "When and where shall be the meeting?" – "And I also have to remind you of everything! It´s easy to find out that you´re brothers! The meeting will be set near Hogwarts in five til ten weeks", Hermione said again.

"And you said all students who used to visit Hogwarts will be there?" – "Yes", Hermione replied. Harry said: "That means we´ll see Malfoy and his gang again. Actually I was happy that I didn´t have to meet them ever again! But I don´t understand why they have a meeting right after we left school. They could have done that ealier or later!"

"One: Because the school exists now fivehundred years and two: you as a famous person visited and survived the school. It´s so to speak a congratulation and happy party", Hermione said with her know-it-all-voice. "But if this is a happy party why do people come who don´t make me happy for example ALL Slytherins?", Harry asked unbelievingly.

Now Hermione said: "The teachers wanted it that way. But not all Slytherins are bad. May I remind you of Tanja, Buffy and Hannah (A/N: I added those characters that´s why you don´t know them.)"

"Ok, you´re right", Harry gave in, "will the three of them come to the meeting, too?" – "Of course! How many times do I have to repeat: ALL students will come! That means: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin will be there, get it?", Hermione said.

Harry nodded. Now Ron asked: "When are you going to ask Flitwick?" – "As soon as his new letter arrived", Hermione said. "And when is that?", Harry and Ron asked at the same time.

Hermione said: "Don´t know. Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow. We shall see." – "Yes!", the boys said.
