Hi, All!

In the end of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

-----Beginning of the citation-----
...pulling into platform nine and three-quarters at King's Cross Station.

It took quite a while for them all to get off the platform. A wizened
old guard was up by the ticket barrier, letting them go through the gate
in twos and threes so they didn't attract attention by all bursting out
of a solid wall at once and alarming the Muggles.

"You must come and stay this summer," said Ron, "both of you - I'll send
you an owl."

"Thanks," said Harry, "I'll need something to look forward to." People
jostled them as they moved forward toward the gateway back to the Muggle
world.

What Ron did mean by "both of you"? Hurry and his owl? ;-)

Bye, All!

It's not well written, but the following few sentences refer to Harry, Ron, an
Hermione "passed through the gateway together" so I would infer that the invitation is to Harry and Hermione. This isn't great literature, so many errors can be found!

I hope there are no die-hard Harry Potter fans about, or they may be concentrating some spells on you! :D

Yes. It was probably Monday, when I sent it, a hard day in Russia. ;) It is a hard day on the other side of the pond, too? Or it is a Russian phenomen only? ;-)
