Eliza: Hey guys, Eliza here with my first-ever crossover! Woo! Enjoy! OOOO
Dear Mr. Spears,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary book and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
William T. Spears looked at the letter in awe, joy rising in hot waves into his face. He turned to his four friends. Each one was also holding a letter. Alan Humphries had excitement rising in him from head to toe. Eric Slingby was smiling happily. Grell Sutcliff looked like she was going to explode. Ronald Knox had dropped his letter in awe. "Can. You. Believe. It?!" he asked. Grell nodded. "OMG. We're going to HOGWARTS!" she said. "But," Will said, "we have no magical abilities of any kind!" Eric snorted. "If we were sent these letters, then sure we have some!" he said. Alan looked surprised. "Uh, does this have anything to do with me talking to that snake weeks back?" he asked. William looked back at the letter. "'We await your owl no later than July 31'… we need to go to this 'Diagon Alley'! It's July 27!" he said, gasping. Grell pulled out an extra letter from her envelope. "Directions: Go to the Leaky Cauldron and go to the outside 'balcony'. On the brick wall, three up, two across." she said. "Let's go!" Alan said, rushing out the door.

PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST YEARS ARE NO ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICKS," Eric said, reading out the list as they walked to the Leaky Cauldron. "That's a lot. So we have to get our money from the wizarding bank Gringotts?" Alan asked his best friend, picking up a small golden key from his envelope. He looked confused. "A key?!" Ronald asked. Will shrugged and pulled out his own key. "They look like," he stated, "vault keys."
