Oliver Wood was an 11 year old boy. He lived next to Siera Cavean, another 11 year old. Their parents were both Wizards and Witches, wich made them autamatically purebloods. Their parents were freind's at Hogwarts School. The kids were both freinds, best freinds. It was perfect seing as they were the same age and if they got into Hogwarts they would have the same time and be very close.

A barn owl flew to the front door of the Wood's house. Pushing a letter through the envolope slit in the large brown door. Oliver's Dad picked the mail up. He looked at the first one and put it in the back of the pile till he came to a red stamped envelope. It was for Oliver, adressed to him from Hogwarts School. Mr. Wood's face lit up, "Honey! Honey!". he screamed as he ran down the picture covered hallway and into the kitchen.

In the kitchen a lady with brown hair and dark brown eyes was makeing something. The Wood's family all had brown hair, it could go from light to dark, and brown eyes. She looked up from the pot she was stirring, her eyes grew wide as she saw the letter. "He's in the living room!" she said cheerfully. when Mr. Wood didn't go after a second she raised her voice, "GO!" Mr. Wood turned and ran to the living room.

There he found Oliver and his 2 year old brother watching a Saturday Special. They were allowed because it was Wood's birthday. His dad cleared his throat gaining the attention of Oliver. "Wood, I have a letter for you." Wood was Olivers nick name. He jumped up off the black leathery couch and walked to his dad. Mr. Wood handed him the letter and Wood's face lit up.

"No way!" Wood began to open it as his father grinned.

"Yes way."

When he opened the letter and pulled out a very dingey peice of paper, he wondered if Siera got her letter, or if she even got a letter. He wouldn't be able to go to school without her.

He read it fast and ran to his room. He threw open his closet door and reached to the back right corner. He pulled out a black robe, white shirt, black tie, and a pair of black pants. It was all he would need till he got his assigned houses robe. He drew out a stool from the bottom of his closet and set it in front of the closet towards the middle. He stood up and grabbed a cauldron full of books. From the top he pulled a cage out. It was lying on its side and was rounded at the top.

He called for his barn owl, Woodland. He named it after himself, he got him five years ago when he was born from his parents owls. He pulled out a trunk from under his bed and stuffed everything in. He put Woodland by his cage and told him to stay.

When his father called him down he raced down the stairs. Every lunch on his birthday was always his Mom's beef stew. He never had to tell his parents or correct them. When he got in the dining room the table was set and the food was dished out.

He sat down across from his brother, and his parent on the ends of the oval table. He ate fast and went into his room to study. He wanted to know as much as Siera did, because she would always beat him when their parents would give them a pop quiz or do a game. He grabbed a thick book and began to read, he wasn't really focused. His mind was focused and then he'd think of Siera and if she got in. He wanted to be in the same house as her and their parents. Both families were in Grryfindor, and if they were it would carry out.

He decided to put the book down. It would take him forever and they had till monday. He couldn't wait any longer to find out if Siera got in. He'd been freinds with her for as long as he could remember. They were homeschooled together, well they learned about hogwarts, but he never payed attention so Siera knew more. In the third grade he secretly developed a crush on her. It was pretty much gone now, but he still cared for her a lot.

He ran down the stairs and went to the living room. The dresser the tv was sitting on had the electronics in it. He reached for the top drawer when something rang. He opened the top drawer and he grabbed his phone. "Hello." Wood said.

The person on the other line had a squel in her voice. "So did you get in?"

Wood beamed and said "Yeah how about you?"
