A/N: People, I don't own Harry Potter.

Clue 2

Hermione sprinted to the Great Hall, dropping her books off in her dormitory along the way. She gazed up at the twelve-foot tall tree, and spied a scarlet piece of paper at the very top.

Ah, she thought, this was why he mentioned first year Charms. He wants me to use the spell we learned that day on Halloween: Wingardium Leviosa.

"Wingardium Leviosa," she muttered. The envelope came floating down to her, and she tore it open as soon as she snatched it out of the air.

Hermione,

I see you've figured out the first clue. Well, to be honest, it really wasn't that hard.

Even a duffer like me would've been able to figure it out…Actually, none of these are very hard, as you may already know, I'm not as clever as you are, darling. I hope you're having fun, though.

Do you know the one

who cut down this tree?

You may want to

pay him a visit

and ask for a cuppa.

Love,

Ron

Hagrid was obviously the one who "cut down this tree," but why would he want her to have tea with him? Maybe he wanted her to have a little break…
