Wow, 2 chapter updates in one day! I'm on fire :)
Seamus had never felt so happy in his entire life. He was in a trance of cheerfulness and no one could break through his shield of glee. He skipped down the corridor, his uneven footsteps bouncing off the walls and producing a resounding echo. The giddy Gryffindor galloped all the way back to his curtained bed and plopped down on the mattress with a KATHUNK! Before he fell asleep, he felt something underneath his head. Cautiously reaching his arm behind his shoulder blade, Seamus plucked the envelope from the pillow and hastily opened it.
Dear Seamus Finnigan,
It is our pleasure to announce that the Ministry of Magic has instilled a new College Law. This requires that all students from now on attend at least four years at a muggle college of their choice. Please list your top five choices of universities on the slip of paper enclosed and send it with your owl. Your applications will be completed by the Ministry and sent to the universities.
Sincerely,
Hogwarts Faculty and Staff
As if by natural instinct, Seamus wrote Oxford as his first choice. He had a good feeling about the prestigious university; he felt that it was the perfect place to receive an education. (Though he had never given it a thought before) The remaining colleges he wrote down included Cambridge, Harvard, Princeton and Stanford. Seamus giggled with glee and clapped his hands together. His owl, Swoops flew over and Seamus placed the card within the bird's long talons.
"Off you go, Pip-pip cheerio!" he cried. Swoops took to the sky, quickly disappearing beyond the horizon of the gleaming full moon. Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the castle sat a girl with bushy brown hair, filling out a slip of paper that read Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Princeton and Stanford.
Sorry for the short chapter. Hope you enjoyed it. Please review!
