I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters or plots, that belongs to the best writer in the Universe, J. K. Rowling. I do however own my character though I've changed my last name for privacy and cause it sounds more like a Harry Potter last name. I have the books existing in this story but you'll see what I mean. I am hoping alamarang will forgive me but I may use the Heir of Gryffindors powers. I don't know, I might, I might not.
The Letter
Sean Moonstone was a regular boy who liked a lot of what other kids like, except for most
sports. One day during the summer however this life changed forever. Sean had just gotten up
from sleeping and went to check the mail. He picked up the mail and looked through the
different envelopes until he came to a brown letter with his name on it, it read: Mr. S.
Moonstone, The Front Bedroom, Ontario, Canada
"What is this?" He thought. He turned the envelope over and saw the Hogwarts crest. "What?!
How can there be Hogwarts, it's only in a book." He opened the letter and saw the traditional
letter from the books. "Okay, let me think about this. Say this letter is for real and there is a
Hogwarts. How am I supposed to get to England to not only purchase my things but get to the
school itself?"
"That's where I come in Sean." Said a voice behind him. He turned around and saw Remus
Lupin standing there.
"Remus Lupin?! How is it you're real, I thought the wizarding world was fictional." Sean said.
"That is not the time. We must go." Lupin grabbed hold of Sean and they apparated right to
Diagon Alley.
"Okay Sean, we're here. You can open your eyes." Lupin said.
Sean opened his eyes and saw the site of Diagon Alley. "This is unbelievable." Sean said.
"First we need to get you your equipment." Lupin said. So they walked to the different stores
and got his equipment, books and robes until they ended up in front of Ollivanders.'
"Well go on in, I've got a couple things to get Sean from other stores so I'll meet you back here
in a few minutes." Lupin said. He turned around and headed down the street.
Sean opened the door and looked inside. "It's just like the movies." He thought. "Hello?!" He
called out and just as in the movie Mr. Ollivander slid down and came into view. "I wondered
when I'd see you Mr. Moonstone. I presume you are here for your wand." He said as he began
to search for a wand. "Here you are, 8 inches, Mahogany, a strand of unicorn hair. Go on and
give it a wave." Sean waved it and a flower vase broke and the water splashed all over. "No,
no, apparently not. Here try this, 13 inches, Yew, a dragon's heartstring." He handed Sean the
wand. Sean waved it and many boxes full of paper flew out of their places. "Hmm, let's see…I
wonder." "That's exactly what he said about Harry's wand." Sean thought. "Here we are, 12 ½
inches, Holly, a phoenix feather. Give it a wave." Ollivander said. Sean waved it and it blew a
whole bunch of small fireworks. "Sean, it is surprising you should have this wand because even
though I thought only two feathers were given by Fawkes, it seems that a third was put in this
wand…Well that will be seven Galleons Sean." Sean payed the man seven of the gold coins and
left the store where Lupin was waiting for him with a owl of a surprise.
"This is a sort of welcome gift to the wizarding world for you, Sean." Lupin said handing him the
cage with a beautiful snowy owl.
"Thanks Remus." Sean said taking the owl and cage.
"Now Sean we must hurry and get to King's Cross station or else you'll miss your train. I'll help
you onto the platform since even though you've "read" how to get on you probably don't really
know how to do it for real." Lupin told Sean.
"Thanks again. Well let's go then." –POP! - Lupin looked shocked when he saw that Sean had
disappeared right in front of him. "How did he do that? I'll have to let Albus know when we get
to Hogwarts" Lupin said as he was standing there in puzzlement. He apparated to Platform 9 ¾
to see Sean and his luggage standing there in amazement.
"Sean how exactly did you get here? People don't know how to apparate until they take the
test." Lupin asked.
"I don't know I thought about what it might look like and all of a sudden I was here." Sean
explained.
"You are special Sean," Lupin said.
"No wonder Dumbledore wanted Sean at the school now." He thought to himself.
"Well do I have to get on the train?" Sean asked.
"Yes, you get on the train and I'll put your things in the luggage compartment. Here's
Moonbeam," He said and handed Sean his owl. "Now you go find a seat."
With that Sean walked on and Lupin went and put Sean's luggage on the train. The whistle
sounded and the Hogwarts Express set off and turned the corner and no one could see the
platform anymore.
--------On the train-------
Sean walked through the compartments on the train looking for a seat he saw students after
students he recognized from the Harry Potter movies. "Hmm, that's weird, they look like the
actors from the movie, oh well. There's Dean Thomas, Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan,
Hannah Abbott, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Cho Chang, Susan Bones, Parvati Patil, Padma Patil,
Oh and look," muttered Sean as he clenched his hands into fists. "Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle."
He kept going through the compartments until he saw some familiar messy black hair.
