Chapter 5

"What was that all about," said Adam Creevey to his wife.

"I guess, that Eleanor, Dennis and Colin are going on a quest. Whatever sort of quest it is, it is supposed to make Colin and Dennis come to terms with what happened," Beatrice said pondering.

"But why does Eleanor have to go also?"

"Well," his wife said, "she was there, she was there when it happened. I guess she was with this friend of her. I've heard her talk about him. He's called Thomas."

"Should we tell them right away?" asked Adam.

"No, lets tell them in the morning. Lets give them one more quiet night of sleep," spoke Beatrice thoughtfully.

The next morning

"Colin, Dennis, Eleanor, Fanny! Pleaqse come here!" Beatrice called from the bottom of the stairs.

One by one their children started to slip into the kitchen. Colin, now almost seventeen was first, followed by ten-year old Fanny. Dennis of fifteen and Eleanor of thirteen followed together. Eleanor was holding a letter. Thomas' letter.

"Well, I've called you all here, because the Headmaster was here last night..."

They didn't let their mother finish her sentence.

"Professor Dumbledore," said Colin, Dennis and Eleanor at the same time.

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore. He told us that you three are to go on a quest of some kind," Beatrice said

"But Colin and me will miss all our appointment with Dr. Spock!" said Dennis.

"The quest will do the same as Dr. Spock, I believe Dumbledore said," said Adam slowly.

"It's just the three of us then..." said Colin.

"No, Thomas will be coming too!" said Eleanor. Holding up the letter the owl had brought from Thomas in the morning. "He writes that Dumbledore showed up in his bedroom while his parents were trying to make a deal on something. And now he's coming with us."

"But Thomas, he's one of them. He's a Slytherin," Dennis protested.

"Not all Slytherins are bad, Dennis. Just most of them. And even though he is the son of a Death Eater doesn't make him just as bad as his father. True, he is a little ambitious, and I know that he asked to be in Slytherin, because he didn't want to disappoint his father," Eleanor retorted.

"But where are we going?" Colin asked.

Right at that moment a handsome barn owl swooped through the open kitchen window and dropped a letter in front of Beatrice.

She quickly read the letter

"What does it say, mummy?" asked little Fanny.

"I'll read it aloud then."

Mr. and Mrs. Creevey,

Yours sincerely,

"How on earth are we going to get to Kent, darling?" said Beatrice.

"Well it's supposed to be the start of our vacation. Why don't we spent the rest of the day with Fanny in Kent," said Adam.

"I'm going to Kent. Hoorah!" sand Fanny.
