Lily Evans went out to get the mail. She didn't know why, she just felt like there was something good in the mailbox. And there was.
It was the 30th of July. With one more month to go until school started, Lily was remotely surprised to find an unusually thick envelope ('Probably to remind us about school coming back.' She thought) in the mailbox. It was addressed to her. Overcome with curiousity, she opened it. It read:
iHOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
('Is this some sort of joke?' wondered Lily)
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, (Lily stifled a laugh) International Confed. of Wizards)
