Oblivion: Hey, I'm rebooting this series, I know I've been updating terraria a new beginning, but I can't focus on that atm, so I'm making it to where my previous writings aren't complete and utter trash. And finish/work on old projects like this. I will say now, there will be four story arcs. And two pairings. Warning now, all OC's if you're looking for HP characters, you're in the wrong place. Onto the story!

Hi. My name is Andrew L. Summers. I live in a small house and I live with a relatively large family, eight people, soon to be nine. I don't have many friends…I did have friends when I lived in Virginia but that was a couple years ago, it's all in the past now and there's nothing I can do about it. When I was little my mother told me fascinating stories of how my great grandparents were wizards, and she told me all about their adventures. Little did I know that the stories were true.
I had just graduated from the twelfth grade and summer was already coming to a close. I only had two choices from which I could choose my colleges. Parkview or Guilford. I was torn between the two because they're both awesome schools, but I could only pick one. Ugh, I'll just decide tomorrow.
I was hanging out with my cousin when all of sudden a small owl came flying down towards us. We couldn't do anything but stare as it dive bombed towards us, when we realized it was going to fly straight into use, we both instinctively ducked and covered. I waited for a flurry of talons and pain...but nothing happened. I look up to see the small owl staring at me intently. Upon closer inspection the owl had a letter in its beak and the letter had my name inscribed on it, just above a weird looking crest. I take it from the owl with a hesitant hand and it took off into the afternoon sky. I was about to open up the letter when my cousin stopped me by trying to swat it out of my hands.
"What's wrong with you?" I ask.
He tried to snatch away the envelope.
"Dude, It could have anthrax or something in there and you don't even know who it's from!"
"Dude…chill. It's not Anthrax, that threat has been gone for years now and plus its 2017! It could be something good and it's from an owl. Remember what our parents used to say? they said that owls are a sign of good luck," I state matter of factly.
"At least wait till we get home to open it," he said with a tinge of worry in his voice.
"Fine...do you really think it's that dangerous?"
He nodded lightly. The poor guy is so damn paranoid. But he's family so I tolerate his paranoia. I kinda find it nice to know he worries about every one so much. It's sort of sweet of him, he's always so caring, but, it gets annoying at times.
Later that day…
We arrive home and I felt like I was about to explode from curiosity. I have very little patience, I guess that's why I'm a fast learner. I turn to my cousin and was about to ask him if we could open it now but before I could get a single word, out he shook his head.
"We should tell our parents first," he said.
"Tell us what?" a voice behind us said.
My cousin and I both jumped a little. We turn to see my mother standing there with my uncle.
"We found a letter from an owl," I reluctantly said.
At this my mother went pale abut my uncle beamed with excitement and pride. I found it strange to see my mother pale because she's a fitness and health freak and hates it when her skin is blemished or discoloured.
"Who is it for?" my mother asked sternly, almost harshly.
"It's for me…." I replied in a less than manly squeek.
My mother nearly fainted. She quickly took the letter and opened it up desperately and it started to float in the air. I couldn't take my eyes off it. it just floated gently, no strings, no draft, nothing. It was unnatural, yet, it was natural, supernatural?
The letter formed a face and turned to me and said, "Dear Mr. Summers, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed in this envelope you will find a list of required books and equipment. The first term begins on September the 1st. Directions on how to get to Hogwarts are also enclosed in this letter."
And with that the letter fell to the ground. We all stood there and stared at it…well my mom was fainted on the ground but the rest of us stared at it. I pick up the envelope and there were a couple sheets of paper. Directions to this 'Hogwarts' and a list of the strangest school supplies I have ever seen. After we were done gawking at the letter we decided to get mom inside. Looks like I got a third, and more interesting option for my choice of school. This is going to be an interesting school year…
