What have you done?
James was sitting at his desk writing on a piece of parchment. He was sitting deep in thought as an owl flew in through the window. It was a brown, tawny owl, with big brown eyes. It landed in front of him, on his desk. It had a letter attached to its foot. James untied it and opened the envelope.
Dear Mr. Potter,
You have again been accepted to return to Hogwarts. Your 7th year will begin on the 1st September, from Platform 9 ¾ with the Hogwarts Express. The train will leave at 11 o'clock sharp.
The Headmaster and I have decided to let you have the post of Head Boy. You will find your badge in the envelope with your letter with the school supplies etc.
You will meet the Head Girl in the Head's Compartment on the train to welcome new and old Prefects.
Congratulations,
Sincerely,
Professor McGonagall,
Head of Gryffindor House,
Deputy Head
James was stunned. He ran downstairs to his parents, who were in the kitchen.
"Mum, Dad! I'm Head Boy!" he shouted excitedly. His parent's chins fell.
"Congratulations!" Mrs. Potter said happily and smiled to her son.
"But you weren't a Prefect! I didn't know you could be Head Boy when you haven't been Prefect." Mr. Potter said. "Well done."
"Here, check it out. My new Head Boy badge." The badge was red and gold, with the letters 'HB' on it. James showed his parents the badge, they were really happy that their son was Head Boy, since usually he caused a lot of trouble and they thought that he might become a bit more mature.
Mr. and Mrs. Potter guessed that Professor Dumbledore had sent more letters home to James and his friends about their behaviour, than to the whole school twice.
James was just about to walk upstairs, when he heard a scratch on the front door. He walked closer, the scratching continued. He walked up to the door and opened it.
"Aaaaahhhhhh!" James screamed whilst looking down.
