Harry re-awoke to Ron's constant poking. He opened his eyes and grabbed his glasses. Ron was looking over him smiling, brandishing two letters. Harry frowned. Whoever sent him a letter? Ron and Hermione were here with him. Sirius was dead. Hagrid hadn't wrote to him since his second year. This must mean,
"Hogwarts!" Breathed Harry, snatching his letter off Ron and turning it around, showing the well known seal. He grinned widely and ripped open the Letter. He gasped and shouted with joy.
Dear Mr Potter
We have decided to open up Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry to all 17-18 year olds, and we wish to invite you to return and do your eighth year here. Please, if you do not wish to come, send an owl immediately to let us know. If you do wish to return, the equipment list is attached as well as your ticket. We hope to see you on the First of September.
Yours sincerely
Minerva McGonagall
Headmistress of Hogwarts School
Harry looked at Ron, who had just finished reading his letter.
"Should we go?" Ron asked, but he knew the answer before Harry answered.
"Of Course!" Harry exclaimed, and ran down the stairs to Hermione, who he ran into on the stairs. She couldn't suppress her happiness. She went onto the landing and was bouncing on the balls of her feet.
"Harry! Are you going?" Hermione shrieked, extremely fast. Harry had to ask her what she said before giving her his answer. She grinned widely and hugged him, before going back into Ginny's room to get dressed. Harry looked down at himself and see he was still in his pyjamas. He gasped and ran to Ron's room to get changed.
Ten minutes later, Harry, Ron and Hermione where dressed and scoffing down toast. Mrs Weasley came into the kitchen and looked at the trio.
"Calm down! I know you want to go to Diagon Alley, but you will choke. Do you even know what you have to get?"
"." Ron said, and looked at his list. Harry and Hermione did the same.

They folded the parchment and put it in their bags, and headed over to the Fireplace. Ron grabbed some Floo Powder and chucked it into the fire as Ginny ran over to them.
"Can I come with you guys?" Ginny asked. Ron was about to say something, but Hermione stamped on his foot and replied.
"Of Course you can." Ron huffed and stepped into the fire, and disappeared. The others followed.
