James Potter lived with his mum and dad all his life. He knew they were magical, but had never actually seen them perform magic. Then, one day, in the mail, there was something addressed to him. He was immediately excited as he had never gotten mail actually addressed to him. He tore the letter open, ripping it slightly in the process, he was so excited. On the back there was a crest with an eagle, badger, snake, and lion. It set off a memory in the back of his head, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Inside the letter read,
"Dear Mr. Potter, you have been chosen to attend Hogwarts school of magic. You can purchase your supplies at Diagon Alley. Semester starts September 1st. We hope to see you then.
-Minerva McGonagall"
He slowly looked up at his parents with awe in his eyes. He saw a similar emotion in his parents eyes: pride. He exclaimed, "I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS?!" His parents laughed. "Yes, you are!" His mother said, obviously proud. "How about we go shopping in Diagon Alley today, since today's my only day off for a while" His dad suggested. Then, rubbing his temples he added, "The ministry's been going crazy, Dementors have been all over and are heading overseas." James was realized he would get to cause trouble at his school and just say he was practicing and it went wrong! He was always a troublemaker, but this could mean a whole new level of pranks! Of course, he didn't say this to his parents, otherwise he would be in big big trouble for thinking this way before school even started.
He then went back to his room to get all his things to get before he left to go shopping. He then realized, he didn't even know where Diagon Alley is! He didn't think much of it, as his parents knew about it, and were magical, so they must know. He thought he needed to pack...he didn't need to pack anything! What would he need that they weren't buying? He decided to just wait until his parents told him they were leaving.
