CHAPTER TEN

HAL­LOWEEN

M al­foy couldn’t be­lieve his eyes when he saw that Har­ry and Ron were still at Hog­warts the next day, look­ing tired but per­fect­ly cheer­ful. In­deed, by the next morn­ing Har­ry and Ron thought that meet­ing the three-​head­ed dog had been an ex­cel­lent ad­ven­ture, and they were quite keen to have an­oth­er one. In the mean­time, Har­ry filled Ron in about the pack­age that seemed to have been moved from Gringotts to Hog­warts, and they spent a lot of time won­der­ing what could pos­si­bly need such heavy pro­tec­tion.

As the owls flood­ed in­to the Great Hall as usu­al, ev­ery­one’s at­ten­tion was caught at once by a long, thin pack­age car­ried by six large screech owls. Har­ry was just as in­ter­est­ed as ev­ery­one else to see what was in this large par­cel, and was amazed when the owls soared down and dropped it right in front of him, knock­ing his ba­con to the floor. They had hard­ly flut­tered out of the way when an­oth­er owl dropped a let­ter on top of the par­cel.

Har­ry ripped open the let­ter first, which was lucky, be­cause it said:
