Harry Potter and the Flying Squad (01) - Sahits

Dear Ron,
thank you for your invitation, but this time
I cannot accept it, although it is very hard to
say No. I am very busy here with a special kind
of homework that will take me until the end
of the vacation.
I am really looking forward to explain all of it
to you (and to some others), but this has to
wait until we will meet in the Hogwarts Express.
Please give my thanks and my greetings to
all people in your family. I certainly would like
coming back to your offer next year.
Your very busy
Harry
Somehow, this felt like a very realistic example of what Lupin had meant when talking about
'stopping in midfight'. Harry wasn't going to stop in midfight, couldn't help but feeling
miserable either.
Two days afterwards, another letter arrived from Ron.
Dear Harry,
I cannot believe it. If it were not for
your relatives, I would think you were
working with Hermione at some crazy
project. Be prepared to stand an
examination lock, stock, and barrel.
Ron
Harry grinned. Boy, were his friends in for a surprise.
However - thinking about this surprise quickly sobered him up.
