It was Tuesday, June 16th in 2015 when I found out. I woke up and got out of my room. Then, my family screamed, "Surprise!", because it is my birthday. I ate pancakes my mom made. After we ate those pancakes, she said she wanted to talk to Inbal, my sister, so I started solving Sudoku. After 5 minutes, I heard a knock on the door.
"Who's there?" I asked.
"If I tell you, you won't believe me."
"If you don't tell me, I won't open."
"I am a wizard."
"Mom! Mom!"
"I told you. Move aside. Alohomora!"
The door opened in a very loud creak. The wizard that opened the door was tall; he had black hair and brown eyes.
"Who are you?" I asked again.
"Sorry about the interruption, Ido. My name is Neville Longbottom."
"How do you know my na…"
"It doesn't matter now. I thought Inbal told you she is a witch."
"she did, but she didn't do magic, so I thought she was lying."
"You thought she disappeared for a very long time?"
"I thought she was learning in a boarding school. How did you told her she is a wizard?"
"You where in your friend's house. Professor McGonagall came here too. She told me." Inbal answered while she and my mom were getting out of Inbal's room.
"So you are a wizard. We didn't know." My mom said.
"If you want to, you can learn in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Now I can show you a spell. Accio pen!" and the pen I used for solving the Sudoku passed to her hand.
"Wow," I said. "Will I learn to do this?"
"Just if you want to," He answered.
"I do."
"Read this."
He gave me a letter. It had my name, the country, the city and the street in which I live in, the number of the house and the location of my room. I opened the letter and the following was written:
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Minerva McGonagall
"How do you know my full name?" I asked, because my full name was written there.
"Keep reading!" they said both.

"Broomstick?" I asked.
"This is the way wizards fly." Neville answered as if it were obvious.
"Where could we find all of these stuff?
"In London."
"London?"
"Yes. Come with me. Inbal, You can come too."
My sister nod.
I Said goodbye to my parents and went after Inbal and Neville.
