"HAHA, good job Matt!" Josh exclaimed. Matt and Josh had been best friends since they were born. They are muggles living in London. Matt had just scored a game-winning goal in soccer. It had been a very ordinary day until they went home to Matt's house.
"Mom? Dad?" Matt whispered timidly. The house was very drafty and quite. Quite a few things were out of place. But Matt didn't pay attention to that.
"Mom? Dad?" Matt whispered again. No response.
"I don't think they're here Matt" Josh said quietly. "Let's get out of here." But they continued looking until they came to the Kitchen. Matt and Josh froze. There were Matt's parents lying on the ground. Dead. A knife stuck through the Dad and the Mom just dead with no apparent trace of what had happened to her.

"Someone has killed a muggle born's parents." Dumbledore the headmaster said with a sad voice.
"No! If they were muggles, they could not be that important to kill! Mcgonagall exclaimed.
"Apparently, they must have done something to enrage the person. I wouldn't be surprised if he just did it as a sport though." Dumbledore said.
"Who was the murderer?"
"That's the mystery. We don't know who it is. There is not a trace of who it could have been."
"So what do we do with the kid?" Mcgonagall asked
"Kids," Dumbledore corrected, "There are two kids we must deal with. One of them is not safe if he is best friends with the other."
"So what are there names?"
"Matt Carver and Josh Rider."
