Chapter 1: The Letter
Theta Sigma was different. He had two hearts, and a mind beyond belief. If that wasn't different enough, he came from a wizard family. A very important one, at that. His mother and father had been there when Lily and James Potter had been killed by none other than Lord Voldemort. They had watched, as Voldemort killed the two, and they couldn't do anything to stop him. They had known the Potters, even offered to take little Harry in after their death, but he went to the Dursleys. But they had always been a family of importance in the wizarding world. The Sigmas were one of the first wizards. They helped set the foundation of wizards to follow after them. When Lord Voldemort rose to power, the Sigmas never wavered loyalty from the Ministry , and always stood against Voldemort. A very important family, indeed.
If you were to ask any of the neighbors who knew the Sigmas, they would say he was a rebel. Not the cause-trouble-kind of rebel, but a kind that, to the neighbors of Eldest Drive, was unique. Unlike the formal clothes others of Eldest Drive wore, he preferred a T-shirt, trousers, and his beloved grubby Converse. Instead of his brown hair slicked flat, his hair was spiked wildly. Also, he had a peculiar thirst for knowledge of well, everything, as others only wanted enough education to get them a job. Compared to others, he was different indeed.
Today was June, 30th, Theta's eleventh birthday. He was perched on a shady branch of an enormous oak, reading a thick book. It was beautiful today. Sunlight was pouring through the trees and the open windows of houses. The sky was clear and blue. Even the heat of June wasn't bad today, as there was a mild breeze flowing through Eldest Drive. His mother, a kind woman with kind brown eyes and brown hair, came out of the house that the Sigmas lived in, and handed him a wrapped package. "Happy birthday, Theta." She said as Theta grinned widely and unwrapped the package. Inside, were a few wizarding books about Quidditch, Theta's favorite sport. Then, Theta's mum handed him a long package. He unwrapped it and inside was revealed to be none other than a Nimbus Two Thousand. Abandoning his book, he jumped down from the tree and hugged his mother gratefully.
"Thank you, mum." Theta said as he hugged her.
"Don't forget to thank your father when he gets home."
"I won't." He said as he took his broomstick into the backyard, which was concealed by high hedges, and he practiced Quidditch for the remainder of the day.
In the evening, he took his broom inside to his room, he heard his father arrive. He ran out to hug him and thank him for his broomstick. He worked at the Ministry of Magic, and was a tall lanky man that had black and blue robes, blue eyes, and the same brown spiky hair as Theta's.
"Happy birthday, buddy." He said as the two made their way to the kitchen for dinner. They sat down with Mrs. Sigma for dinner. After dinner, Theta and his family settled into their bedrooms for a night's sleep. That night, many, many owls flew out from Hogwarts to the students of Hogwarts and the future students of Hogwarts.
In the morning, during breakfast, asked Theta to check the mail. So, Theta went out to the front door and took the mail on the floor below the mail slot. He looked at the mail, thinking bill, bill, tabloid, bill, then saw an envelope with fancy writing on it. To the family of Theta Sigma, it said. Theta ripped the letter open and read it. It was his letter from Hogwarts. He was going to Hogwarts. Of course, he had known it all his life, but now that his letter was here was it really sinking in. He was grinning madly now, so excited to get to Hogwarts. He ran down the hallway, towards the dining room.
"MY LETTER IS HERE!" is all that the parents of Theta Sigma heard as he rounded the corner into the dining room, tripping on the corner. He collapsed into his chair, panting, with that giant smile still plastered on his face. Theta's parents read the letter, both grinning, but not as much as Theta. After the letter was read, put the letter back on the table.
"I guess today we're going to Diagon Alley to get your school supplies, Theta." She said, as Theta finished shoveling down his food, then ran to his bedroom to get dressed. In an unbelievable amount of time, he was back down, wearing jean shorts and a blue shirt, and carrying his burgundy Converse in one hand, and a packet that contained a couple Galleons that he was hoping to spend in Diagon Alley. Theta stopped in the doorway of the dining room, looking at his parents as if they were mad.
"What're you waiting for?" He said, that crazy grin still plastered on his face, "We're burning up daylight, let's go!" as he disappeared from the doorway to go into the den so he could put on his Converse and wait for his parents to get ready. When the two appeared in the den, they each took a pinch of Floo powder and walked over to the fire place, and said "Diagon Alley."
