Harry,

Exciting news I'm going to this school called Hogwarts this year. I can't say why, but I can't wait. How are you doing? Have you killed the Dursely's yet? They are way out of line, but then again they are family I suppose. Hey what school do you go to? Maybe I'll be going to your school this year!

Harry read the letter from his friend. Well ok they had only met once through a accident, but they kept in contact with each other and knew enough about each other to be consider friends. Harry smiled at the letter, he was going to finally meet Jack and get to know his friend. Of course he would let Jack hang out with his two best friends, Ron and Hermione. Harry wrote a letter back to Jack and sent Hedwig to deliver it as soon as he was done. Harry was thirteen, Jack had just turn thirteen the day before, making Harry older not that it matter. Harry thought watching Hedwig soar into the night sky.

Jack,

I am entering my third year of Hogwarts! You get your letter when your eleven. Hogwarts is awesome, and I can't kill the Durselys due to the fact that, that wouldn't go over to well if the headmaster were to find out. I am doing fine considering I have to put up with the Durselys, I hope your ok and I can't wait to see you in a couple of days. Also I can't wait for you to meet my other two friends.

~ Harry

Harry goes to Hogwarts! Jack thought as soon as he had read the letter. Jack couldn't wait until he met Harry, and his friends. With any luck this could very well be the year that Jack decides to stay and learn magic instead of wanting to leave and forget the whole thing. Jack beamed at the letter and continue to for the rest of summer.

Harry walked down the steps to find his two best friends having another stupid argument, about Hermione's new pet cat, Crookashanks. Harry beamed at the pair of them, and Ron, being the tallest one, seeing Harry first greeted his best friend.

"Harry!" At Ron's remark Hermione looked to see Harry also.

"Harry."

"How are you guys?" Harry asked them, now standing in-between Ron and Hermione. Not because of the argument, that he could care less about, but because he wanted to see both his friends, be able to talk to both his friends.

"Great." Hermione replied back for the both of them.

"What's up?" Ron asked Harry, recognizing the look in his eyes that he often got when something happened, whether good or bad.

"Do you want the good or the bad?"

"Good." Hermione responded before Ron could answer.

"I know this kid, well kinda, named Jack. He's going to start Hogwarts this year, even though he just turn thirteen."

"But that doesn't make sense. Why wouldn't he have started with everybody else?" Hermione asked thoughtfully.

"Why does it matter?" Ron snapped sticking up for Harry, who looked disappointed in seeing Hermione be more interested in education then friends.

"I am just curious. That's great Harry, now what's the bad news?"

Jack walked down the stairs to find his brother and sister arguing about, what Jack was sure, was stupid and irrelavant. Jack's older brother, facing the stairs, was the first to notice him.

"Are you packed yet?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Well school doesn't start yet. Oh and hi back."

"Hi. Go pack your trunk, in case you have forgotten by the time we get there it will be time for school."

"Fine I'll go pack. Why were you fighting?"

"Go pack." Jack's brother's voice was now a demand, as Jack climbed back up the stairs.
