Chapter One
The Hogwarts Letter
At the Potters' Home
A young boy of 10 was sleeping peacefully in his bed. He had unruly jet black hair that would never stay flat and hazel eyes though you couldn't see them since he was sleeping. When all of a sudden, "JAMES POTTER! GET UP THIS INSTANT!" shouted a woman. She was the boy's mother, Stephanie Potter. She had honeybrown shoulder length wavy hair and sapphire blue eyes. She was currently in the kitchen making breakfast.
James jolted up out of his bed, grabbed his glasses, and headed down the stairs. OOMPH! James fell down. He had bumped into someone. Rubbing his head, he looked at how he had bumped into. A girl with long wavy jet black hair like his but she had emerald green eyes. "Oooooooooh," she moaned as she rubbed her head. She then looked up to see who she had bumped into. "Jimmy!" she exclaimed.
James grinned. "Sorry, Sarah," he said as he got up and helped her up. Sarah took his hand and stood up and brushed herself off.
"To breakfast?" she asked. James grinned and nodded his head. Together they headed to the kitchen. Where sitting at the table was their father Matthew Potter. He also had unruly jet black hair that would never stay flat and hazel eyes. He also had round black glasses. He was an auror for the Ministry of Magic and was reading the Daily Prophet.
"Morning, mum, dad!" James and Sarah chorused as they took their seats at the table.
"Morning, Sarah, James," replied Mr. and Mrs. Potter. Then Mrs. Potter came to the table with the food and took her seat. Soon enough the family had begun eating. Now while the Potters are eating. I believe I should introduce them. James Christopher Potter, one the main characters in this fanfiction. He had recently turned 11, old enough to begin his seven years at the magical school for witchcraft and wizardry. He is actually quite the mischievous young boy.
Sarah Cecilia Potter, another main characters in this fanfiction. She had recently turned 10. She had another year to wait before she could enter Hogwarts. She was a very sweet girl though as mischievous as her brother. Matthew Anthony Potter was the father of these two children. He was one of the best aurors in the Ministry of Magic. Stephanie Elizabeth Potter was the mother of these two mischievous children. She was a nurse at St. Mungo's. There you have the Potter family.
"Mum, dad, when do you think my Hogwarts letter is going to come?" James asked with his mouth full of food.
"James sweetie, don't talk with your mouth full," said Mrs. Potter. Sarah giggled.
"It should arrive soon, James," replied Mr. Potter.
James sighed. He wanted that letter to come! He was desperate to start Hogwarts, even though he was going to spend most of the year away from his "precious" sister. When all of a sudden an owl came flying into the kitchen and dropped the letter. James caught it. His smile was wide. It was here! The letter was here. The owl flew away and James looked at the address to make sure it was it.

Godric's Manor
James grinned. It was here. He tore it open excitedly.

"Yes!" he exclaimed happily. Mr. and Mrs. Potter smiled fondly at James. He then looked at his parents. "When we go school shopping?" he asked excitedly.
"Whoa, whoa, slow down, James. We know your excited. We'll go tomorrow, alright?" said Mr. Potter. James nodded his head excitedly. He quickly finished breakfast and went about his mischief making after Sarah had finished and excused herself. She helped James with ideas of mischief making for Hogwarts.
At the Blacks' Home
Sirius grunted. He hated this place. He hated his horrid family. But, he things to look forward, especially that Hogwarts' Letter! Sirius Orion Black was 11 years old and starting Hogwarts this year. He is another main character in this story. He was in his room, sitting on his bed. He sincerely hated the family he was from and their pureblood nonesense. When an old came flying in and dropped a letter and disappeared. Sirius grinned. He took the letter and looked at the addres. 'Yes!' his mind screamed.

Sirius grinned. Now to tell his dear old mum, that he had "finally" received his letter. He headed out the door and shouted, "Mum! My letter's arrived!" He grinned happily. He was so NOT going to Durmstrang.
At the Lupins' Home
Remus was eating breakfast at his table. His parents had spoken with Dumbledore, that he would be able to attend Hogwarts even though he was a werewolf. They just needed to take certain precautions. He smiled. He might be actually to make friends. He just silently hoped no one would find out what he was. Remus John Lupin was 11 years old, was bitten by a werewolf and therefore a werewolf whenever the full moon came. He was going to start his first year at Hogwarts. He is another one of our main characters. All of a sudden an owl arrived with a letter and dropped it and disappeared. "Looks like it's here, Remus," said Mr. Lupin. Remus nodded his head. He then took the letter and looked at the address.

Peter smiled. He was going to Hogwarts!
At the Evans' Home
Lily Rosaline Evans was a normal girl of 11 years old. She is yet another one of our main characters. Well, she was normal but from today on she would be different. She was in the living room reading a book when there was a knock at the door. She went to the door and opened it to find a man. "Hello, you must be Miss Lily Evans," the man said. Lily curtly nodded her head.
The man smiled. "I am John Darling. There is something I have to tell you and your family," said the man. Lily gaped at the man for a while and then nodded. She let him in the house and went to get her parents. When the Evans had all settled into the living room. Mr. Darling began to speak, "Hello. I am John Darling and I have come to inform you that Miss Lily Evans is a witch and has secured a place at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." All the Evans gaped at him.
"Your joking," said Lily staring at the man who had just told her she was a witch.
"Not at all, Miss Evans. Has anything ever happened when you were mad or afraid, something you couldn't explain?" asked Mr. Darling. Lily began to think. Yes, it had happened a few times. Like the time she and Petunia (her older sister) had gotten into a fight Petuntia's hair had turned blue, and another time Petunia had blown up. Lily nodded her head.
"Yes, that right. Lily's done several things that we couldn't explain," said Mrs. Evans.
"That's because she's a witch," said Mr. Darling
"Why are you telling this now?" asked Mr. Evans.
"Because, Miss Evans, has secured a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and now since she is old enough to begin the schooling at Hogwarts, and if I must say so myself, the best witchcraft and wizardry school ever," said Mr. Darling.
"Really?" asked Lily. Mr. Darling nodded his head and handed Lily her letter. Lily looked at it and then opened it.

Lily gasped.
"So this school," said Mr. Evans as he looked at the letter.
Then began a long explanation of Hogwarts, which I'm going to spare you so you don't get bored. In the end Miss Evans was permitted to go to Hogwarts. It was arranged to go to Diagon Alley the following day.
