Naturally, Stacy looked in the direction of the scream, but she wasn’t afraid. Instead she had a puzzled look on her face. She didn’t know what the scream meant, for she had never heard one before. She heard all kinds of sounds from the city. It was loud, but she didn’t care. She could hear! The next thing she knew, she heard Santa shouting. “It’s the park rangers!” he yelled. “Let’s get out of here! Hop in!” Stacy and Buddy both jumped into the sleigh and Santa took off. Up they went—higher and higher until they were suddenly looking down on all of the buildings of New York City. Stacy had seen the city from above when she first arrived in the hot air balloon, but it was even more stunning at night. “It’s so beautiful!” she exclaimed. Santa looked over at her “So little lady, where would you like to go? Anywhere you’d like! I am Santa after all.” Stacy thought for a minute. Anywhere? Oh the places she could go! Just then Stacy knew where she wanted to go. There was one place in particular that she had always wanted to visit. Growing up, she had read books about this magical place with witches and wizards, dragons and elves. “Hogwarts,” she said. “I would like to go to Hogwarts.”
