Lily-Anne Evans stared down at the letter in her shaking hand:
Dear Ms Evans,
This year we are offering 20 students to join Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in England. We are offering you this choice due to your great work in class and out, meaning you have become a great asset towards the school. Please reply via owl no later then July 15th.
Yours Sincerely Adrian McDonly
Deputy Headmaster
After a few minutes of shock and re-reading it for the third time Lily-Anne 's mind snapped back to reality.
"WOOHHOOO!!! I'm going to England! " She screamed and started doing a little jig about the room.
"Oh yeah a reply…" Hastily she scribbled a reply on the back of the letter and gave it to the impatient owl who was hooting at her to hurry up.
"Ok, ok THERE! Done"

"Hey sleepy-head you've got an owl. Its from the school" A males voice floated through a bedroom door of a 15-year-old black haired wizard.
"Hmmm? School owl? Mum?" A few thumps and groaning of the floorboards indicated that Jakob was up and looking for the owl.
"There's no owl….DANIEL!!!" Jakob Blacksmith thundered downstairs ready to attack his father.
"What? There was but I've already replied." Daniel smiled evilly.
"Yeah sure…what did it say then?"
"You read it" Daniel said throwing the letter at him.
Dear Mr Blacksmith,
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is offering to have 20 students from WORMS join them for a year. Due your commendable work we wish for you to be one of them that will represent us.
We await your owl no later then July 15th.

Deputy Headmistress
"MUM!!!" Jakob yelled "Whats going on? Since when did you start sending owls to members of the family?"
"There's no need to yell dear I'm right here." Mrs Blacksmith said while trying to flatten Jacob's hair.
"Well? What sort of joke is this?"
"Its no joke I think you'll like Hogwarts and you meet heaps of other wizards…" She trailed off.
"Why didn't you just tell me?" Jakob said while eating his breakfast.
"That was MY idea. More professional. Besides I like watching your reactions it great stuff. Cheers!" Daniel butted in raising his glass of orange juice to the others.
"So your going?"
"I dunno…yeah ok who else is coming?
"Well me for a start" Mrs Blacksmith said smiling.

Harry Potter sat in his bedroom at the Dursleys house listening to the snoring of his uncle and cousin, knowing he would have no chance of getting back to sleep. He was too excited. In 2 days he'd be back at Hogwarts. These holidays were cut short due to some new program the school was introducing. Cut by 2 weeks in fact. Harry wasn't to stay at the Weasleys home as it was under Dumbledore's' instructions but that didn't stop him from going out to Diagon Alley and other Wizarding places during the holidays.
Meanwhile the Dusleys' were acting rather civil towards Harry as he reminded them of his godfather, Sirius whenever they tried to stop him from making contact with the wizarding world.
But even that wouldn't keep them from locking Harry in his room whenever possible.
Harry sighed wishing something…anything would happen. He was more bored then he ever felt before.
Then last years events flashed into his mind and he quickly took them back as 4 no 5 owls were heading his way.
"I take that back…I swear" he muttered as he opened his window to let them all in.
The next 5 minutes were all the owl hooting softly as Harry tried to get all the parcels and letters off them.
For some reason none of them were keen to stay…including Hedwig. Although Harry found this very odd at first he assured himself there must be some reason and started to open the first letter as it had the Hogwarts seal on it.
Dear Mr Potter,
As you may already know we will be starting school two weeks early as planned this is due to 200 transfer students coming from all over the globe. Bringing along 1 teacher per group of 20 students we will therefore be including 10 new subjects to be part of the school circiculum. We encourage you to buy all your belonging ASAP and look forward to seeing you in 2 days time. Due to an increase of Dark marks being found around Britain we have lifted the "no-magic ban" but this may only be used only for simple charms etc. Anything more serious will be dealt appropriately by the Minister of Magic.
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress.
The other letters were from Ron, Hermione, Hagrid and Ron's two brothers Fred and George asking him about his summer and wishing him a happy birthday.
