Chapter 1: Harry's Birthday
Harry Potter woke up on his 11th birthday. He lay still for a moment, thinking. Was he really 11? Was this really that special day he had waited for as long as he could remember? Then he jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs. He stopped for a second at the mirror in the hall.
"This is the day. It's coming today!" he said to his reflection.
"It is," the mirror agreed.
Harry went into the kitchen. His father, James Potter, was sitting at the kitchen table reading the Daily Prophet. His little sister, Emily, or Emmy, was eating her bowl of cereal. His mother, Lily Potter, was drinking a cup of tea, and now and then she glanced out of the window. Harry knew what she was looking for: the owl with his Hogwarts-letter.
"Morning, dad, morning mum. Hi, Emmy," he greeted them.
"Hi Harry!" Emmy said with her mouth full.
"Emmy! Don't talk with your mouth full!" Lily scolded. Then she turned to Harry.
"Happy birthday, dear," she told him.
"Good Morning, Harry, and happy birthday," James said.
Just then, a knock on the window attracted their attention. It was an owl, and it was carrying Harry's letter! Harry ran to the window and opened it. The owl gave him the letter and flew away. Harry ripped the letter opened the letter and read it out loud.
"Dear Mr. Potter, We are pleased to inform you, that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." (a/n: I'm not writing the whole letter, since I don't have the books in English, only in Swedish. I have read them in English, though.)
"Wonderful, Harry dear!" Lily said, "Well, I'm going to Diagon Alley today anyway, so you and Orion can come with me." Orion Black was Harry's best friend. He lived right next door, and his father, Sirius, was James's best friend. Orion was a week older than Harry, and therefore he had gotten his letter a week earlier. Harry was reminded that he had to tell his friend that he had received his Hogwarts-letter. He ran to the door.
"Where are you going, Harry?" his mother asked.
"Got to tell Orion that I got the letter!" He said.
"That can wait. Breakfast first, Harry," Lily said firmly.
"But mum!" Harry whined.
"Besides, Orion is already on his way over" James said, looking out the window.
"He is? Great!" Harry opened the door. "I got it!" he shouted, "I got the letter!"
"Fantastic!" Orion yelled. He stopped at the door, and Lily leaned out and asked,
"Do you want something to eat, Orion?"
"Yes please!" Orion exclaimed. He seated himself at the table and, started buttering a piece of toast.
"Orion, want to go with me and mum to Diagon Alley today?" Harry asked.
"That'd be fabulous!" Orion answered. "Mum and I were going to go there anyway!"
"Well, maybe Mary can come with us. I may have trouble handling you two alone! Lily said. Harry and Orion grinned mischievously at her.
