It was early in the morning in late July when a loud noise came from her window and woke up Hermione Granger. She opened it and saw a familiar grey owl laying on the roof just below it, as if it had hit the window. She recognized the owl immediately as Eroll, who belonged to the Weasley family. Attached to his leg was a clipping from a news article and a letter from Ron. She untied the string holding the papers to the owls leg and let the clumsy creature into her room. She read the news article first.

"QUIDDITCH WORLD CUP TO BE HELD IN ENGLAND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 30 YEARS"

Hermione opened the letter and read it as quickly as possible.

Hermione,

Dad scored tickets to the quidditch World Cup! Can you believe it? Anyways, mum wants to know if you can come stay with us for the rest of the summer and come to the game with us. We can floo to your house tomorrow at noon. Harry's invited too but we don't know if he can make it with the muggles. Mum wants to send him a letter the muggle way, but I don't reckon she knows how, or if it'll get there in time. If that's the case we can just floo there. Write back right away if you can come. And please give Eroll some food. Thanks.

Hope to see you soon,

Ron

P. S. I would've sent this with Pig but he's already on his way to Harry's. Hope Eroll doesn't die on the way.

Hermione stared at the letter for a few seconds before running downstairs to her parents in the kitchen.

"Mum! Dad! Guess what? Rons dad got tickets to the Quidditch World Cup! And they've asked if I want to go and spend the summer with them!" Said Hermione ecstatically.

"Oh sweetie! That's great! Of course you can go. When are you leaving, and how are you going to get there? Do you need us to drive you?" Ms. Granger asked.

"No, it's alright, mum. They're flooing here tomorrow at noon."

"Remind me what flooing is again, dear?" Asked Mr. Granger.

"It's one of the ways that wizards travel. We can travel by fire, or they can apparate or use flying cars and such," Informed Hermione

"Ooh, alright dear. That's lovely. Would you like a waffle?" Asked Ms. Granger, who couldn't keep up with how fast her daughter was speaking.

"Yes please mum. I just need to respond to Ron first. I'll be back in a few." Hermione ran upstairs and wrote her response.

Ron,

YES. I asked my parents and they said I can come to the World Cup and stay there for the rest of the summer. I can't believe your dad got the tickets! I've still got to eat breakfast but I'll make sure to give Eroll some of my waffle.

Love from,

Hermione Granger

"Stay here Eroll, I'll be right back," Hermione commanded. The bird looked at her quizzically with its yellow eyes and it's perked ears. Hermione rushed downstairs and grabbed a waffle off the stack on the table, then quickly made her way back upstairs before her parents could question her. She fed the waffle piece by piece to Erroll until there was nothing left. She then took the letter and gave it to the bird and he flew away.
