Invader Zim Goes to Hogwarts
An owl was pecking at the window. "That foul beast." Zim snarled. He wrenched open the window, and the ash-gray owl fluttered in, knocking Zim over. "YAAAAAY! IT'S AN OWL!" GIR yelled at the top of his voice. The owl was grasping a letter in its talons. When Zim approached it, it held out its leg so Zim could take the letter off. He ripped it off, then opened it while scowling.

"What the hell is this about?" Zim snarled. He scanned through the letter again. Wait….magic? The Dib-human never spoke of this. "Is this maybe some superior knowledge…?" he mused. Zim replied by saying he would be delighted to join. "Now…to pack up some stuff I can't afford to leave behind." He scanned the room. Only GIR stood out, along with some ray-guns. He quickly stuffed them into his PAK."Now to get..." he began to read.

"Now that was a long letter. Good thing I learned my ABC's…" Today was August 30th. One day before he had to get onto…Zim looked at the letter again. "Platform 9 and three quarters?" he exclaimed. "Whatever…I'll worry about that when I have to."
