Chapter 17

Everyone went into the living room. Alex and his parents wrote a new letter to Mrs. Weasley. When the Xanatos' were done writing the letter, Harry sent Hedwig off with both letters.

"Ok, Alex, what would you like to do?" asked Harry

"Story." said Alex

"What would you like in this story?" asked Harry. He hoped that it would be something that he knew about because he did not know the normal story you told kids.

"Hogwarts." said Alex

"Ok." said a very thankful Harry

Harry told Alex about his second year at Hogwarts. Then without warning, an owl flew in and dropped a letter in Mr. Xanatos' hand.

Dear Mr. Xanatos,

I have been told that Harry Potter is living with you for the summer. I am writing you because I am worried about him. Please tell me if you have reason to think that you're family or Harry is in danger, and I will deal with the problem.

Headmaster of Hogwarts

Albus Dumbledore

"David, what is it?" asked Mrs. Xanatos

"Nothing." said Mr. Xanatos

"Story." said Alex

"Ok, Alex, what would you like in the story this time?" asked Harry

Alex had to think for a few moments before answering.

"Avalon." said Alex

"I know some legends about Avalon." said Harry

"I have never been there." said Mr. Xanatos

"Mother never talked about Avalon." said Mrs. Xanatos

"Davey, would you like me to tell the story?" asked Puck.

"Yes." said Mr. Xanatos

So Puck told a story about Avalon, and by the time Puck was done, it was time for lunch. Alex had his magic lessons and played some more. Puck and the Xanatos talked, and Harry talked to Alex. This went on until dinner time, then they all ate. The Xanatos and Puck went into the living room and Harry went into his room, got his school books, and went to the tower.
