This is a fic about the Harry Potter Series characters. I've made a few changes that the Epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows says, and I'll be including my own version of the Epilogue in one of the chapters. I hope you like it!

Chapter 1

Albus saw a small black owl glide through the window, a letter clutched in its claws. His green, almond shaped eyes glowed with excitement as he reached for the letter, but before he could grab it, his brother snatched it from the owl.

"Give it here, James!" Albus shouted to the red haired boy in front of him.

"Don't worry, I don't want you to see your rejection letter," replied James, his eyes gleaming with laughter, then, seeing the look on Albus's face, he handed the letter back.

Albus excitedly opened the letter and unfolded its contents.

Albus excitedly read the papers. He was going to Hogwarts at last!

"Mom, Dad," Albus called, "I got the Hogwarts letter!"

Mr. and Mrs. Potter rushed into the room. Mr. Potter looked just like an older version of Albus, with the same eyes and lumpy, black hair, but on his forehead was a lightened lightning bolt shaped scar. Mrs. Potter had fiery red hair and bright brown eyes. Mr. Potter congratulated his excited son, and quickly sending a letter back to Hogwarts. After he was done, the owl snatched the letter and carried it off to Hogwarts.

Then, a faint crying could be heard from the upstairs.

"Lily!" Mrs. Potter shouted as she ran towards the awful noise. "I told you not to hold Nymphadora upside down!"

Ignoring this, Mr. Potter said, "We'll go to Diagon Alley tomorrow.
