Chapter 250: Course Selection
A week after returning from Paris, Kyle finally received a Hogwarts letter on a bright morning. Heading downstairs for breakfast, he found Fred and George waiting in the living room, looking restless and eager.
After hiding out for over a month, they now spent nearly every day in Kyle's attic, happily working on their Skiving Snackbox experiments. Chris, surprisingly, didn't mind their racket—in fact, he welcomed it, calling it "early morning excitement."
"A letter from school?" Kyle picked up the yellow parchment envelope with its distinctive green writing.
"Yeah, it just arrived," Chris said.
"Five minutes ago," Fred added.
"We caught sight of the owl on its way out..." George chimed in, grinning.
"Kyle, read it. You'll be in for a surprise."
Kyle opened the letter and read it carefully. As usual, it informed him to board the Hogwarts Express at King's Cross Station on September 1st and included a list of required books for the upcoming school year.
For third-years, the list read:
Intermediate Transfiguration by Emeric Switch
The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 3 by Miranda Goshawk
