CHAPTER 1 ASHTON'S LETTER
Ashton Potter always knew that he would be going to Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry but, now with his letter in hand he just couldn't believe the time had come. Both his mom Susan Barns and his father Harry Potter had attended school there some time ago and now it was his turn.
Ashton was a good boy, who looked remarkably like his father at 11 years of age right down to the untamed black hair and the glasses.
"Open it," James said as Harry and Susan entered the families' living room.
James was a wide-eyed boy with a great smile and long strait red hair like his mother and grandfather but he did get a few features from his father namely his piercing green eyes and his need for adventure.
"Yeah, open it," the showing Susan said sitting on the couch next to Ashton as Harry squeezed in next to James.
Ashton sat examining the letter and turning it over in his hands for a minute before gently pulling off the Hogwarts seal and unfolding the letter witch read:
Dear Mr. Potter
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. We have also enclosed your ticket for the Hogwarts express, departing from Kings Cross Station, Platform 9 and ¾ at precisely 11:00 on August 30th. Term begins September 1st.
Sincerely, Servius Snape Deputy Headmaster/ Potions Master
"So Snape is the new Deputy Headmaster," Harry said mostly to himself.
"Who's Snape," Ashton asked, sensing the concern in his father's voice.
"No one son," Harry replied trying to sound sure of himself, while Susan read through Ashton's list of supplies.
"Looks like we'll be making a trip to Diagon Alley," Susan said changing the subject just as James was about to make a comment.
"What does he need," Harry asked.
"Not much," Susan replied. " He already has a wand, a broom regular robes and Hogwarts is providing the house robes so books mainly," Susan continued. "And a cauldron for potions class." With that Ashton and James returned to their room, Susan made her way to the kitchen and Harry turned on the television. The Indian National Quidditch team was playing the Chuddley Cannons, he and his best friend Ron's favorite team. Currently they where losing 80 to 10 but their seeker Allison Martins was hot on the trail of the golden snitch.
The Chuddley Cannons where having a horrid season and Ron was taking it quite hard.
