Seven-year-old Spencer William Reid was sitting in the living room on the couch reading a book while his mother - Diana "Diane" Reid - was sitting in the chair watching T.V. when Spencer's father - William Reid - walked into the house with a boy that looked about five-years-old. Spencer and Diane looked up at William and the boy.
"William, who is the little boy with you?"
"This is Harry James Potter. Now, his name is Harry James "Jim" Reid. I just adopted him now. He is our son now, Diane, and he is Spencer's brother. His birthday is July 31st, 1981. He is about four months older than Spencer. Spencer, come met James, your new brother," William said.
Spencer put his book down on the coffee table and walked up to his new brother - Harry James "Jim" Reid.
"Hi. My name is Spencer Reid. You are my new brother?"
Jim nodded his head yes and said softly, "Yeah. William adopted me."
"Spencer, dear, why don't you show James to your room? You two can share it," Diane told Spencer.
Spencer and Jim walked out of the living room towards Spencer's room.
"Why did William adopted me, Spencer?" Jim asked softly.
"I do not know, Jim. I think he wanted a son that will play sports with him."
"You don't play sports?"
"No, I like to read. What do you like to do, Jim?"
"I also like to read but my relative didn't like that I got better grades than their son. That's before they got rid of me," Jim said softly, "Do you think that your parents will get rid of me?"
"Mom will never get rid of you, Jim. You are part of this family. I can show you books that I love to read, Jim. I am great to have a brother."
Jim smiled at that.

Two boys - one eleven-years-old today and the other boy is ten-years-old - were in the living room. The eleven-year-old boy is James "Jim" Reid and he was sitting next to his brother - that is nearly four months younger than him - Spencer Reid. Jim was opening his presents from Spencer and their mother - Diane Reid. That's when there was a knock at the door. Diane stood up and walked to the front door and opened it. A guy was standing there.
"Hello, Mrs. Reid. Is Harry Reid here?"
"Who are you? What do you want with my son?"
"My name is Ben Rogers. I am a headmaster of a magical school called Ebakselts, Academy of Witchcraft. I need to talk to you and your son. If that is alright with you, Mrs. Reid."
Diane narrow her eyes at Ben Rogers and let him in. They walked into the living room. Jim and Spencer stared at Ben.
"Mr. Harry Reid?"
"Depends on who is asking" Jim said.
"My name is Ben Rogers. I am a headmaster of a magical school called Ebakselts, Academy of Witchcraft. Let me show you magic because I can tell that you, your brother, and your mother don't believe me," Ben said taking out a stick out of his robes.
"Lumaro" Ben said and a ring of lights came out of the stick.
Spencer's and Jim's eyes widen and they both mouth 'wow' when they saw the ring of lights. Diane was staring at the lights with shock in her eyes. Ben smirk when he saw the looks the three Reids had on their faces.
"Like I was saying. Mr. Harry Reid, you are a wizard. You will be allowed to attend Ebakselts, Academy of Witchcraft. Here is your letter to Ebakselts," Ben told Jim handling Jim his letter.
Jim took the letter.
Mr. Harry James Reid
Jim opened the letter and read the letter.
Dear Mr. Harry James Reid,
I proudly inform you that you have been accepted into Ebakselts, Academy of Witchcraft. There will be a list that you will need to get your wizardly books and wand.
The school term will start August 31st. We will your letter if you will be attending Ebakselts, Academy of Witchcraft.
Your sincerely,
Headmaster Benjamin Rogers
Jim looked at Ben and saw that he was staring at him.
"Sir, if I go to this academy, will I be able to come home?"
"Yes, of course. You will return during the holidays, that will be summer, winter break, and spring break," Ben told Jim, "Myself will be you to Holmfirth to get your wizardly books and wand. When do you think that you can be able to come with me?"
Jim looked at his mother and she asked, "Can Spence and I come to Holmfirth with James and you?"
Ben nodded his head and said, "Of course, No-Maj like yourselves are allowed in the wizardly world, unlike the wizardly world in Scotland. When do you think that you be able to leave?"
"We can go now."

Fifteen-year-old Harry James "Jim" Reid was in the living room watching his brother, Spencer Reid, with their mother, Diane Reid. Jim was standing against the doorway of the living room and the living room. Spencer was trying to calm their mother down and when he did, she sat down and looked out of the window. Spencer looked at Jim.
"Jim, you could have help me with mom."
Jim rolled his eyes and said, "Let's just send her to a home."
Spencer gasped and said angrily, "James! She is our mother! We cannot do that to her!"
Jim sighed angrily and said angrily, "We cannot live like this, Spencer! I don't want to live like this! She needs help! If you don't send her, then I will!"
"You will not do that! You are sounding just like dad!"
Jim narrow his eyes at Spencer before he turn around and storm to their room and packed his magical things. Spencer was standing by the doorway of their bedroom watching him pack his things.
"Where are you going, James?"
Jim didn't answer him. He walked passed him into the hall and walked to the front door.
"James!"
He turn around and looked at Spencer. Spencer had tears in his eyes. Jim shook his head and opened the front door before he walked out of the house and closed the door. Spencer was staring at the door and he felt heart dropped. He just lost his brother.
(Both are 36 years old now)
Spencer Reid is with his team in restaurant. He wasn't really in the mood because he was thinking of his brother, Harry James "Jim" Reid. He looked at his team and saw how happy they are.
He sighed and put the fork down. He was going to say something but someone was standing behind me.
"Spencer."
His friends stopped talking and looked at the person behind him. Spencer turn around and saw someone that he haven't seen since he was fifteen-years-old. His brother, Jim Reid.
"James?"
Jim put his hands into his jacket pockets and shrugged and asked, "How have you been?"
Spencer stood up angrily and asked angrily, "How can you ask that question?! You felt mom and I when we were fifteen-years-old! Twenty one years later, you decide to come back now! You break mom's heart! you break my heart! What kind of brother leaves his brother and mother?! Where have you been the last twenty one years, Harry James?!"
Usually, Spencer doesn't really get angry but when Jim came back and ask Spencer how he's been, he couldn't help but to blow up at Jim.
Jim looked at his brother sadly and said, "I know what I did was wrong, Spence. But please forgive me. I am sorry."
Spencer glared angrily at Jim and said angrily, "I don't think that I can forgive you, James. You just pack your things and left. No phone call or letter. Why don't you do what you did when you were fifteen, leave and never come back."
"Spencer..."
Spencer shook his head and left the restaurant.
