“Emma! Anthony! Come down for supper!”
“One minute, mum.”
“Hurry, Emma! Read about the train to Hogwarts!”
Emma and Anthony raced through to the end of the chapter and knew exactly what to do. They brought out the packages Grammy sent them all the way from Chicago. Dear Grammy was always happy to buy them books or costumes or whatever struck their fancy.
The children ripped open the packages and slipped their new costumes over their heads. They closed their eyes, held hands and repeated the words from their book.
Downstairs, Mum was getting impatient. She called up to the children and when they didn’t answer, she went to check on them.
Emma and Anthony were nowhere to be found. On the bed was their beloved Harry Potter book and two empty packages with the words “Invisibility Cloak”.
“Oh, my dears!” sobbed Mum. “Where are you? What have you done!”
