(I have deleted the notification thing as I think a day is enough for everyone to see. It is unfortunate that some have decided to leave without hearing my side of the story, but I suppose that's life. For the people that gave me the time to explain myself, I sincerely give my thanks and also an apology for my lack of explanation. Like I said before, I won't do something like that again and I hope to regain your trust. Well I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!)

It was the next morning and Chris was woken up by Kristine and Hermione.

"Chris we have to get ready!" Hermione shouted waking Chris up from a wonderful dream.

"What? It's alright, I don't have to get ready right now. It's the holidays," Chris said groggily as he went right back to sleep.

"Don't go back to sleep! Get up!" Kristine shouted completely waking up Chris this time.

"Goodness, I didn't think that my first day of break would start with screaming," Chris said as he got out of bed.

"Well you did almost go back to sleep so we had to go to our last resort," Hermione said.

"You better hurry and dress up. Everyone is already done dressing and is getting ready to eat," Kristine said.

"Alright," Chris said. The girls left the room leaving Chris alone. He quickly dressed up and went out to the dining room to eat.

The meal was normal with only minor conversations.

The 3 families quickly finished their food and when they went outside, Chris saw 3 cars with familiar logos in front of their house.

'That's a Mercedes Benz. Judging by the year, it should be the Mercedes Benz 560 SEL. That should be one of the more luxurious cars in this era,' Chris thought as he got in the backseat of the car at the front.

When Chris went inside, he was quite surprised at how comfortable the seats were.

'For a car made in the 1990s, this is impressive,' Chris thought as his mother sat next to him and his father sat in the passenger seat.

When the driver saw that everyone had their belts on, he started driving.

In the middle of trip, the quietness was interrupted with Bradley.

"Chris, how are you doing back there?" Bradley asked.

"I'm doing alright Father," Chris said.

"When we go to New York, just try to have the best time of your life," Bradley said. "Spend as much time as you can with your friends. Don't take it for granted,"

Chris didn't say anything as he was unsure where Bradley was going with this.

"Every moment with the people you cherish is important. I took my friends for granted and I'm regretting it till this very day. I can tell that those two girls really do care for you and is willing to help you any way possible. Treasure that care and reciprocate it. If they are in trouble help them," Bradley said in a sad tone.

Chris simply nodded to what his father was saying and the car was silent once more.

In around 30 minutes, they reached the airport. When the 3 cars were parked, they were met with 6 men wearing black suits.

"Hello sir," The tallest man said. "We'll be taking your luggage here,"

"Hello James. Thank you for the help," Bradley said.

"It's just a part of our job sir. We'll be guiding you directly to the plane," James said.

The 6 men took out all the luggage from the 3 cars and after they were done, the 3 Mercedes Benz drove off.

"Please go in," James said. The 3 families went in the plane.

"Well, Bradley, it must be great to have so many conveniences. If it was just our family trying to go in the plane, we would've had to do procedures that would've lasted at least half an hour," Mr. Alder said.

"Well being friends with the owner of this airport has its perks. On the other hand, if you meet with him, all he'll ever talk about is his daughter. I mean it's not terrible since everyone wants to talk about their children, but if you talk about your daughter every time you meet for an hour straight, it's a bit much.," Bradley said.

"Yeah, that does sound a bit much," Mr. Granger said.

"Oh don't act like you don't talk about Hermione to your friends for an hour straight," Mrs. Granger said. "You were bragging about how she's such a smart girl each time you see your friends,"

Mr. Granger embarrassingly scratched his head while the rest of the ȧduŀts laughed.

When they went to the first class section, Chris was quite surprised about how spacious it was.

'I guess even in the 90s, the first class was always pretty good. I was thinking it would just be a bit more spacious than economic, but these places really do try their very best for the rich,' Chris thought.

The first class section didn't have cabins, but it did have 3 columns of fully reclining seats with rows of 2 seats on the sides while a row of 3 seats in the middle.

"Our seats are in the back. We also have 2 seats right in front of the left 2 back seats as well," Lorraine said.

Chris, Hermione, and Kristine took the 3 seats in the middle row while the parents took the remaining seats.

"You brought the diary right?" Kristine asked.

"Of course," Chris said. "It's our main reason for going to New York Harbor,"

"Good, so what do you think is this "piece of hope" anyways? The more I think about it, the more curious I get," Kristine said.

"Aside from the fact that this diary's 'piece of hope' is on a global scale, the diary is able to talk to us which shows that the person who enchanted it is at an extremely high level. The person that's capable of this is at the very least on the level of the Professors like Professor McGonagall or Professor Flitwick," Chris said. "However, I doubt that they're that weak. The person has to be on You-Know-Who's level. I'm even thinking that this person is even stronger,"

Hermione face turned a bit pale hearing this.

"Chris if this is that dangerous, don't you think we should call if off?" Hermione asked. "Sure I'm curious about what this whole thing is, but if we think about it logically, what are 3 11 year olds going to do?"

"Don't worry, I doubt that obtaining this 'piece of hope' will be that dangerous. At best, there will be a test where we can get hurt, but our lives won't be in danger. The only problem is what we're going to do after we do obtain the item. If beings that far surpass You-Know-Who starts to appear, we'll be in deep trouble," Chris said.

"Then isn't that more of a reason to not go for this? We should give the diary to the Professors, no the Headmaster. If this was a regular adventure, I would be happy to join, but it simply doesn't make sense to risk our lives for something unknown," Hermione said.

"The unknown dangers is the biggest giver of the greatest treasures. Like I said, obtaining the 'piece of hope' shouldn't be life-threatening. So even if things become dicey after that, we can always give the diary and whatever else we get to the Headmaster or the professors,"

Hermione reluctantly agreed and the three did not talk about the "piece of hope" anymore.
