Chapter 21

Puck had just teleported into the living room so that he heard the last part of the conversation, what he heard made him laugh, which made Mr. Xanatos to look at him.

"Why are you laughing?" asked Mr. Xanatos, wondering what could have made Puck laugh.

"Because, Harry has a point. You don't need to read something you can't use." said Puck, after he had finished off laughing.

"Ok, then. But, I want to read." said Alex with a cute pout.

"How about one of your books?" asked Puck, who understood the danger of mixing magic. If magic was mixed it was like well …it had the same effect as drinking and driving!

"Nope." said Alex with a shake of his head.

Thinking of a way to solve the problem an idea came to him (Hermione would be so proud of his right now), he got up and went to his room. When he got what he wanted from his room he found the Xanatos' still trying to make Alex stop reading his school book. Walking up to Alex, Harry handed what he had brought from his room for Alex to read. A book on Quidditch.

"Alex, will you be careful with the book?" asked Harry, handing over his Quidditch book to Alex.

"Yes." said Alex, taking the Quidditch book genterlay off of Harry. He then put Harry's other school bok down and started to read the Quidditch book.

"What is the book on?" asked Puck, not wanting to allow Alex to read something he shouldn't.

"Quidditch," Harry simply.

"Ok." said Puck, that wouldn't do any harm and it would keep every one happy.

"Alex, when you're done put it on the table." said Harry getting a nod from Alex who seemed to have found a new passion.

With the crises averted, the adults all talked, Alex read the book he was given and Harry was able to do his homework, things went on this way until lunch time.

When they all sat down at the table for dinner, an owl flew in though an open window and dropped a letter in Mr. Xanatos' waiting hand. It seemed that Mr. Xanatos was getting better at receiving owl post. He opened the letter and read it:

Mr. Xanatos,

My name is Cornelius Fudge. I am the Minister of Magic. I am sending representatives to pick up Harry Potter. Please have him pack and ready to go.

Minister of Magic,

Cornelius Fudge

Not allowing anyone else to see the letter, Mr. Xanatos placed it into one of his pockets and dinner went on as normal.

After lunch, Mrs. Xanatos and Alex went to see Mrs. Xanatos' father as they had planned. Harry and Puck went to talk, wanting to know about the letter and what it could of done to get the sort of reaction that it did. So meeting Mr. Xanatos in his office, the three of them talked about the letter and what would be the best way to deal with it. In the end it was decided that to write a letter to Cornelius Fudge would be the best way. So Mr. Xanatos took out paper and pen and wrote a letter.

Cornelius Fudge,

If you or any representatives come to my house, I will make sure that you wish you didn't. You may not remove Harry and you may not demand anything from me. If you wish you and the Headmaster of Hogwarts may come and visit my home.

David Xanatos.

With that they sent the letter to Cornelius Fudge with the owl that was waiting with them for a reply. Only time would tell them how Cornelius Fudge would react to the letter.
