Chapter 12

I wake up the next morning with a pericing pain in my head. I sit up to fast and suddenly my head weighs a tone. I breate through my nose, but its blocked and heavy.

great. A cold on the last week if school.

I get dressed slowly and go down to breakfast.

The usual chatter rings though the hall as I sit, by myself, at the griffindor table.

I shovel an egg and two slices of toast onto my plate as a rush of owls stream into the hall.

I spot our family owl, small and brown, dotted with felcks of light blonde.

Two small packages and letters are tied to its leg.

I swoops down and drops one of the packages to Hugo then flies over to me.

I untie the rest of the bundle and look at the two envolopes.

One has long curly writing spelling mine and Hugo's name

The other has small neat letters which I immediately recognize as mums.

I open mums letter:
hello Rosie,
great news!! uncle George is getting married this holidays !!
we are all invited! would you mind  telling Hugo dear?  you are allowed to bring one friend each
miss you heaps
love mum xxx

wow! a wedding !

I open the next letter and inside is a fancy invite, the second package is a small box of sweats and candys  from dad. he always sends us sweats.

I wonder who I'll invite? I have some friends but there is one person I'd love to invite.

i make up my mind as I eat my breakfast and get ready for lessons.

I think I might just invite Scorpius.
