" Liz?" Harry called me.

I lifted my head from the book I was reading.

"Yes?" I asked.

" Aunt Marge is visiting."

My lips form a smile. Harry wasn't the greatest fan of Aunt Marge. Neither was I but atleast she gave me lovely presents while Harry had to wait upon her.

"That's news. When is the wonderful day?" I asked, grinning.

"Today. Uncle Vernon wanted to give you a wonderful surprise." He made a face.

"Come on Bro. We go back to Hogwarts in two weeks." I consoled.

He sighed.

We could not go to the Burrow either because the Weasleys had gone to Egypt  to visit his older brother Bill after winning a lottery. Lucky Ron!

Ron had tried to call us but did not know how to use the phone. So, as Uncle Vernon had picked up the phone, Ron's trials of yelling into the phone earned Harry a good scolding.

"Hilary's here." Harry announced the arrival of my owl.

Hilary carried a letter from my best friend Hermione Granger.

   Dear Liz and Harry,

Ron wrote to me and told me about his phone call to your Uncle Vernon. I do hope you're all right. I'm on holiday in France at the moment and I didn't know how I was going to send this to you--whatif they'd opened it at customs?--but then Hedwig turned up! I think she wanted to make sure you got something for your birthday for a change. I bought your present by owl-order; there was an advertise-ment in the Daily Prophet (I've been getting it delivered; it's so good to keep up with what's going on inthe wizarding world), Did you see that picture of Ron and his family a week ago? I bet he's learning loads. I'm really jealous--the ancient Egyptian wizards were fascinating. There's some interesting local history of witchcraft here, too. I've rewritten my whole History of Mag-ic essay to include some of the things I've found out, I hope it's not too long--it's two rolls of parchmentmore than Professor Binns asked for. Ron says he's going to be in London in the last week of the holidays. Can you make it? Will your aunt and uncle let you come? I really hope you can. If not, I'll see you on the Hogwarts Express on Septemberfirst

                                          I am great. Having a wonderful time with my parents but missing you guys. I guess you have heard about Ron. Gosh! He will learn so much. Oh My GOD>>> I wish he would take me.

Can't wait to hear it all from him. See you soon.

                                                                                          Love

                                                                                        Hermione.

Harry laughed seeing the letter.

"What's so amusing?"

"Ron and learning do not go together." He laughed.

I grinned.

Harry was totally correct. Harry, Ron, Hermione and I are best friends. But our natures are completely opposites. Ron is the laziest and depends upon us, me and Hermione especially for homework. Harry is ok sort of student. I am moderately timely with the works, but manage to get the highest scores in the exams. Hermione is the most serious but in the exams, I cross her most of the time.
