A/N: Hi! From James' point of view, because, well, I don't know!
"James, you have a letter!" Mrs. Potter called to him. He was outside looking for his sister. He immediately came inside, wondering who it could possibly be from.
He rushed downstairs and grabbed a manila envelope from the pile on the kitchen counter. Taking off his shoes, he slid across the smooth wooden floor and outside again, tearing his letter open at the same time.
He read it, then read it again. And a third time. He then pinched himself, to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Then he rushed back inside.
"Mum! Hey, Mum!" James called. "What is Hogwarts?"
Him mother gaped at him, and then called for James' father. James was still a bit confused, wondering. Was this a joke? There was no such thing as Wizardry, was there?
"Mum! There is no such thing as Witchcraft and Wizardry!" James complained.
"Yes there is! We jus haven't told you, in fear you would be a squib," His mother explained.
"Squib? What is-." James began to ask.
"Never mind that, we are going to Diagon Alley tomorrow to get your supplies, and we will get an owl to reply to this letter."
"Umm, are you sure?" James asked again.
"Yep! Also, the Blacks are witches and wizards, Sirius should have already received his letter."
James ran outside, this time the front door, and across the street. He didn't even knock; the Blacks were too much of a second family for them to care.
"SIRIUS!" James yelled at the top of his lungs, and raced up the stairs.
"What, James?" Sirius answered, he was preoccupied with his videogames.
"Are you, you know, a . . . well?" James asked, not wanting to say anything in case Sirius wasn't a wizard.
"A wizard?" Sirius said absentmindedly.
"Yes! That is what I was trying to say!" James said. "I am!"
"Same here," Sirius said, abandoning the games. "What pranks shall we pull at Hogwarts? We have to give the teachers a nice warm welcome, and I am sure that in Diagon Alley tomorrow we can find some interesting magical pranks that will be much more fun then out regular ones."
"You're going to Diagon Alley tomorrow?" James asked.
"Yah, why?"
"So'm I! We should go together!"
"Yah, then we can decide what the best pranks to pull at school are," Sirius answered.
They continued talking about what pranks they could play, and who they would play them on, while at the same time discussing Hogwarts.

Lily Evans was in her room, studying for the next year's tests. She was startled out of her concentration, by her mother, who told her that Lily had a letter. Lily, who never received letters, not even for birthday parties, immediately ran downstairs and tore open a yellow-ish envelope.
"Who is it from, Lily?"
"Hogwarts?" Lily answered, confused.
"Let me see that," Her mother commanded.
Lily dutifully gave it to her mom, who read it over.
"What is this? This is a completely stupid idea, there is no such thing as Witchcraft!"
"But can we go to this place anyway? Petunia has to go down there for Violin tomorrow anyway, so you can just make a quick stop there before we go to her recital!" Lily pleaded. (A/N: petunia could never do something like violin, but bear with me here.)
"I guess, we have to find out who sent this anyway. I will not have you receiving stupid letters as this one for no reason."
"So we go tomorrow?" Lily asked, making sure.
"Go where?" Came the nasty voice of Petunia, Lily's older sister.
"We are going to stop somewhere for Lily before going to your recital, Petunia." Her mother explained.
"Where?" Petunia demanded.
"Dogin Alley? Is that right, Lily?"
"Diagon," Lily corrected.
"What is that rubbish? There is no such place!"
"Yes there is, I am a witch and I am going there to get my school supplies!" Lily told her sister, finally yelling.
"A WHAT? My sister is a WITCH? How can this be? We are a perfectly normal family until this letter! We are not going!" Petunia decided.
"Petunia, Lily is devoting a whole day to your recital, you should give her ten minutes of your time!"
Petunia looked angry, and left.
