Chapter 1
"I'm bored."
"Yeah me too."
"Too hot to go to the park."
"Can't go to the pool, it's closed."
"Why?"
"Sun melted the filter, contaminated the water."
"Can't go the beach, jellyfish season."
"Which brings us right back to where we started. I'm bored."
This is how Kris, her twin brother, and her best friend have spent every day of the first two weeks of summer vacation. Unfortunately for them, a heat wave decided to come through their town right as school got out. So with 120-degree weather and no place to swim, going outside was not an option. So there they were sitting in Kris' room, playing Egyptian Rat Screw, their favorite card game, and listening to the radio.
"Any idea what we could do inside Kris?" Lin asked after the third straight game. She thought about it. In the last two weeks they had cleaned the attic, throwing out old useless junk, straightened the basement, cleaned the rest of the house, top to bottom (including the toilets), and then proceeded to watch every movie the own.
"We've done everything, Lin. Drake?" He just glared at them.
"And now it's that time again for 'Answer That Question'!"
"I hate that game," Kris said to no one in particular. "It always has the dumbest questions with the worst prizes."
"Today listeners, you're in for a real treat. Thanks to Delta Airlines, we've been able to round up an all-expense paid trip for three to. LONDON, ENGLAND!" It was complete chaos as the three of them whipped around facing the radio, cards flying in every direction as they tried to listen to what else Mad Max, the radio DJ, had to say. "Today's theme is based on Harry Potter."
"Get the phone, Drake!" Lin screamed. "Kris, you have got this. You know everything about Harry Potter."
"So to answer this question and win a trip to England for three, set your phone to call 721-1105 and answer this question: Who is Harry Potter's arch nemesis?"
"Dial! Dial! Dial!" Kris screamed. She knew this answer for sure.
"It's ringing!" Drake exclaimed as he handed the phone over to her. She listened to the ringing while hoping that no one got to the answer before her. Finally someone answered.
"So you can tell me the answer to today's question?"
"Yes I can. The answer is Draco Malfoy. Draco Malfoy is Harry Potter's arch nemesis."
"Guess what?" he started in a quiet voice, "YOU WON! You and two of your friends are going on an all-expense paid trip to London, England. Stay on the line for a minute so I can get your information." The couldn't believe their luck. After Kris gave Mad Max her info and make an appointment to pick up the tickets that night, Lin, Drake, and Kris started screaming and jumping for joy.
"WE'RE GOING TO ENGLAND!"
