I got this idea from digigirl02.
George POV
"George!" my little sister shouted. "You have a letter!"
"Who from?" I yelled back, pulling on a t-shirt and jeans and heading down to the kitchen. Hermione was in there, waiting patiently for me to take my letter. The bushy haired ten year old wasn't my actual sister. I was adopted as an infant. Despite the fact that I wasn't blood related, the Grangers were very much my family. Because we only had a one year age difference, Hermione and I were pretty close. Well, that and the fact that our school labeled us as freaks because weird things tend to happen to and around us. All we had was each other.
"Well, go on!" she exclaimed. "Open it!"
I faked a gasp. "Is that what you do with a letter? I had no idea!"
She rolled her eyes and took the letter out of my hand. She started to open it as I tried to get it back.
"Oi!" I protested. "That's mine!"
She read the letter as she avoided my attempts to grab the letter before stopping in disbelief. "This has to be a joke." Curious, I took the letter back and started to read.
George Fabian Granger,
Number 45 Seventh Street

I stared at the letter in confusion, unable to comprehend what it said.
Mum and Dad came into the kitchen and were about to comment on mine and Hermione's bewildered looks when the doorbell rang.
"Hello?" Mum asked when she opened the door to a woman dressed in robes and a pointy hat. "Can we help you?"
"Hello. I am Professor McGonagall from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As a teacher it is one of my responsibilities to go to muggleborn households and help the new students adjust to the wizarding world," the woman replied.
"You mean that letter was for real?" I asked, unable to stop myself.
She smiled and replied, "Very much so."
And with that, my adventure into the world of magic began.
Just thought I'd warn you in advance, this is going to have Fred/Hermione in it.
