The Champions had been in their tent all morning. None of them showed up for breakfast either. Hermione pointed up and said, "Look, the owls have arrived."

Sure enough, the owls fly in and start dropping their deliveries. Kiara received two letters that morning, one from her mother and the other with Hogwarts' seal on it. She tore her mother's letter open to read its content. Jenna Weasley was usually pretty good at sending weekly letters but this was the first letter Kiara had received in three weeks. She was starting to get worried.

Dearest Kiara,

I apologize for not writing soon and hope you are not too upset with me. Work has been crazy and I wish I could tell you where I am. I've been traveling more frequently so it's hard to say. Mooney told me about the situation with Padfoot and I hope you know better to stay out of this. I want you to know, I am okay and we will discuss this in person over Christmas holiday. I love you so much.

Take care my love,

Mum

Kiara glanced up at the head table to see if she could catch Remus's eyes but he was not even at the table. Nathan nodded at her, "Everything alright?"

"Yes, just a letter from my mum," she smiled, assuring him.

"Well, it's not every day you get a Hogwarts' letter while at Hogwarts," Morgan chuckled.

"I got one too," Hermione told Kiara, holding up her letter.

"Well, open it," the twins said, curious.

Kiara shrugged and ripped the envelope open and she pulled the letter out. It was an official invitation to the Champion's tent before the task.

Dear Miss Black,

You have been invited by the Hogwarts' Champion, Cedric Diggory, as his guest to accompany him in the Champions' tent. Should you choose to accept this invitation, please report to the tent at ten o' clock. Farther information on your special privileges will be given to you once you have arrived.

Best Regards,

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

Kiara looked up at her friends and told them, "Cedric invited me to be his guest...?"
