Chapter 1

Jake turned over in his bed trying to get away from the sunlight coming from his window. When he could not get back to sleep, he rolled out of bed and walked groggily to his dresser mirror and looked at his reflection. Jake Potter was a transfer student from his school in America to some school in Britain called Hogwarts. His dad was a manager at a drill company in Texas but got transferred to another company in Britain. At first he did not want to go, but when he heard that Hogwarts was one of the best magic schools around he reluctantly accepted it. Jake was a wizard, as is his mom and dad. So he thought that being taught by Albus Dumbledore would be a great honor. He gave a huge sigh and went to his closet to put on some clothes. Jake was 14 years old, about average height, with light tan skin and a hair style that looked like Christopher Reeve when he was superman. The most stunning feature on his face that attracted all the girls was his deep piercing green eyes. He did not know where he got them from seeing how neither his family seems to have them. Maybe it was just one of those things. He turned and started to walk out of his room when suddenly he heard a banging on his window.
