Al awoke with a start. Everything was dark in his small bedroom and Al couldn't see anything, but the blurry, hazy, glow of early morning. He had no idea why he had awoken, when he heard something from out in the hall. It was the clock chiming the hour. "Four," muttered Al. He slowly reached for his glasses, which were on his bedside table. Then, it hit him like a ton of bricks, today at eleven o'clock,
Al was going to Hogwarts.
He leapt out of bed, and tripped over his trunk, which had been sitting near his bed. In an attempt to keep himself upright, he grabbed for his bedside table. He missed and grabbed his owl, Toddle's, cage. Toddle screeched very loudly.
"Shh," Al said, "don't, you'll wake everyone up!"
But it was too late. Al heard movements and groans from his brother and parent's rooms. He felt bad for waking them up, but he was too excited. He turned on his bedroom light and grabbed the letter on his desk. He had read it dozens of times before, but it felt more exciting to read it today.

Al set down the letter and looked out his window. "I'm going!" He thought, "I'm really going!"
Footsteps could be heard in the hall outside his bedroom. Al looked at the door, and then went to his closet to start getting dressed.
