Window

Tap, tap, scratch. 'It's just a branch, it's just a branch…it's just a branch!' Tap, tap, scratch. 'It's just a branch,' he thought, 'it can only be a branch…what else would be at my window? It's only a branch…' he kept muttering to himself. The next tap down his window was followed by a slow, high-pitched scratch, like a fork on a glass plate. 'I have to look, and see- I have to know that it is only a branch.' He got up, and crept closer to his window. Peaking behind the curtain, he let out a loud gasp- 'it isn't just a branch, it's an owl!' he quietly whispered. Slowly he opened the window just enough to see what it had tied to its foot, 'I hope I don't regret this,' he thought. As he slowly stuck his hand near the owl to untie the paper he held his breath, and pulled his hand back in quickly after retrieving the paper. Carefully, he opened the paper that was surprisingly addressed to him, and began to read,

"Dear Mr. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

At reading that, his eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself while ripping the paper up, 'But there's no such thing as magic.'
