"Harry I've got a surprise for you" called Lily Potter as her son entered the dining room." We received a letter in the mail today and it's addressed to you," informed James Potter who looked rather pleased with himself.

"What? y-you c-cant possibly m-mean its, them, do you?" stuttered Harry potter. He was tall for his eleven years, and had inherited his father's unruly black hair and his mother brilliant green eyes.

"I've no idea what you mean" said James rather unconvincingly, shifting his eyes.

"But you better hurry up and open it before I die of suspense" said his mother.

"Ok well here it goes" said Harry. He read aloud, "Dear Mr. Potter I am pleased to inform that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry!"

"Oh my dear god…My baby…Oh my little baby will be going to Hogwarts" cried lily

"Well done lad I am very proud of you, just wait until Sirius hears of this"

The Next Day

"Oh we have so much to do" worried Lily. "James…JAMES GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT WE ARE GOING TO DIAGON ALLEY" yelled Lily to her dawdling husband.

"Yes dear, right away, dear" replied James feebly.

"Gosh there is so much to do, we have to get him a wand, all his books, robes, a cauldron, hats, cloaks, a telescope" muttered lily under breath whilst ushering her husband and son into the fireplace ready to floo to Diagon alley.

When they arrived lily sent James to get some money from the wizarding bank Gringotts whilst she took Harry to Madam Malkians to get him sized up for his dress and work robes. When James returned with his money pouch bulging they paid and left the robe shop. In search for all Harry's other equipment.

"Well that's better…now all we have to get is a wand" said lily.

"Better go to Olivanders, he is I the best around." Said James.

"You mean I finally get my own wand?" said a rather excited Harry.

"Yes dear but you can't use it unless you are at school, in a lesson. Otherwise…"

"It is against the law and you could get expelled" finished James "I heard the exact same lecture from my mum, come on lily give Harry a break. I didn't obey the rules and look I turned out just fine"

"James do NOT go putting ideas like that into our sons head, plus I wouldn't say you just fine you are a loon" exclaimed lily. Now turning to face Harry she said "don't listen to a word your father tells you"

But it was too late Harry had already decided he was going to have fun with being a wizard, its not everyday you find out you can point a stick at things and they do what you tell them.

In Olivanders

"Oh what do we have here…Hmmm a young potter I see, hello Lily, James" said Olivander quietly "now lets see…ok lad try this one"

Harry took the wand but had no idea what to do with it but decided to wave it as if casing a spell.

"Hmm not quite right but it looks like we have a natural with a wand" said Olivander " how about this one… it is 12 inch holly with phoenix feather" informed Olivander " arhh I see we have found you mister potter, the perfect wand."
