“Harry,” shrieked Hermione bolting out of her seat, and embracing Harry so tightly he felt his airway get cut off briefly,
She was followed swiftly by Ron, Ginny, Neville and the Weasley twins, whilst Astoria ran over and embraced her older sister tightly,
“What happened to you guys where did you end up,” asked Ginny,
“America,” said Harry simply,
“What,” stared Hermione stunned,
“America,” confirmed Daphne, “And we made some new friends along the way,”
“Friends,” asked Ginny “Who, some American wizards,”
“No not wizards,” said Harry watching as Sirius and Remus discussed something with Amelia and Dumbledore
Amelia smiles and nods at Harry who grins happily
Harry then turns to the others with a grin, “Some muggles will be joining us in this reading,”
“Muggles,” said Neville looking stunned,
“Yep, muggles,” grinned Daphne, “They helped us out,”
Harry stands back and introduces several people one by one as they entered,
“I’m pleased to introduce you to Horatio Caine, Calleigh Duquesne, Eric Delko, and Ryan Wolfe,” said Harry….
And the doors to the Great Hall opened again
