Chapter Six

Everyone awoke instantly to hurry with their Breakfast.

There were millions of owls with big packages flying through the windows.

Some parts of the table were empty, because the students who sat there went home to their family.

Hermione and Teri didn't go to their family many times, and Harry never did.

"What? You had a detention just because Snape thought you were spying on someone? He took 20 points from Griffyndor? That's insane!" Harry screamed.

"SHH! Snape is staring at you Harry! Be a little more quiet will you?" Teri hit Harry's mouth with a nearby spoon.

"Ouch!" said Harry, rubbing his mouth that had a red oval on it.

Ron was laughing loudly and Rita giggled a little. Teri had a proud look on her face.

Hermione was busy looking out the window for the barn owl she had sent.

"Hermione, that owl's not going to come until tomorrow! Don't get your hopes up." Said Rita with an apologetic look on her face.

"But Victor said he'll send his owl, and it's much stronger and faster than the barn owl I sent." Said Hermione, still looking out the window.

"Well, it's your choice to keep waiting." Said Teri.

Rita had gotten three packages from her mum, dad, and Amelia, who was 20 and finished Hogwarts.

Teri had gotten two packages from her parents, and Melissa, who was 21 and also done Hogwarts.

What got everyone's attention was the package from Teri's parents.

They were muggles, so they had given her what was called a 'Cell Phone'.

Hermione and Teri knew about this phone and Teri's letter said that her mum was excited that an owl could send messages but it would be much faster with this 'Cell Phone'.

Teri was disappointed and sent Shade back saying muggle items didn't work in Hogwarts, but she would keep the cell phone anyway.

It was almost noon and the group was getting their presents ready and unshrinking them…

They had picked a quiet place to exchange their presents.

The group was thrilled to open gifts and give other people what they had bought for them.

First, Teri and Rita gave exchanged their presents.

"A Best friends Quidditch Snow Globe! I've always wanted one of these!" Rita gasped. She immediately gave the matching snow globe to Teri.

"A sweater! And it's green! Thanks Rita!" said Teri as she gave Rita a hug.

Teri gave Hermione a box of 'Bertie Botts' Every Flavored Beans'.

Hermione gave a warm smiled and thanked her.

Rita gave her an inkwell. Hermione was thrilled.

Next came Ron. Rita gave him that dusty poster she had bought and said sorry that she couldn't find the right poster.

Teri blushed brightly and gave Ron a present. Ron's eyes widened and thanked Teri with another bright blush.

"But don't you already have another box of these?" said Teri.

"Yeah, but they're not perfectly proven to be safe. This new box says: Tested and succeeded. Thanks to Kenny Madison." Said Ron.

They exchanged hugs.

Teri sighed of relief and gave Harry another box of 'Bertie Botts' Every Flavored Beans'.

While eating the soot flavored-bean without realizing, Harry blushed so much he looked like he had a fever.

"Are you okay, Harry?" asked Rita.

"Huh? Oh! Yeah, I'm fine! I'm fine… But I wanted you to have this present." Harry gave Rita a lumpy present.

It had turned out to be Harry's old snitch that he had hurled out in the first year.

"Wow! Your old snitch! Thanks, Harry!" Rita gave him a warm hug.
