Chapter 4

Harry lay in bed that night, thinking about the events that had happened that day. He had been rescued from the Dursley's (again), found out that Percy was still on Fudge's side, and discovered that Lupin was running for Minister.

His thoughts then strayed back to dinner that night, where Percy had never shown up...and Mrs. Weasley had cried because of it. Percy was just so arrogant, so filled up with his own lies that he couldn't realize the truth! But the one event, that stuck into Harry's mind the most, was the one that was happened when he had opened the door to Ron's room.

Hedwig had immediately flown over to Harry and deposited a letter in his hands. It had the official Hogwarts seal on it. But Harry didn't want to open it in front of Fred George and Ron, who were all in the same room as him.

So now, under his sheets on the floor, he slowly proceeded to open the envelope, and it read:

Dear Mr. Potter,

Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry would be pleased to announce that you will participate once more, in Quidditch this year, meaning your ban has been lifted. We would also like to announce that a Extended Trip will be available to all 6th years. For the first time ever, Hogwarts will be visiting Foreign Schools, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang and VillVif. Beauxbatons will be our first stop in France, followed by VillVif in Egypt, and Durmstrang, where we have yet to acquire coordinates too. We would like to remind all 6th years joining us on this trip that it does NOT have any affiliation with The Triwizard Tournament, which will not take place for a few more years. We will be visiting these schools on a purely learning basis, yet Hogwarts will partake in a competition nonetheless. An All-Star team compiled of 6th years will be taking on the bests of these schools, for an International Junior Quidditch Cup. You have been chosen to be the Seeker for "Team Hogwarts." Anyone under or over the age of 6th year will only be able to go on the Trip if they are selected for the team. A full roster will be given on the back of this sheet. We shall leave Hogwarts on the 2nd of September, and will return in November the 24th. Inside is a slip to be signed by your parent or guardian. Due to special circumstances, you will be exempted from having to have a parent or guardian sign, but if you choose to come, you must sign it yourself. You will also find enclosed your exam scores for your O.W.L. exams, and the books you will be needing for this year.

Happy Holiday,

Minerva McGonagall

"As happy as Harry was, something was definitely bothering him. He re-read the last line: "Please note that no books can be purchased at Diagon Alley for Hogwarts due to circumstances beyond our control."

Why couldn't anyone buy their books in Diagon Alley? Harry had never had this note given to him before! But then it slowly dawned on Harry as he read the note over again.

Maybe it wasn't just anyone...maybe it was only him!
