BTW: Alex is the only magical one of the family and she lives in Bristol
Chapter 1
Alex's P.O.V.
I stared blankly at the teacher, her voice distant and fading, I drifted in to a short sleep.
"ALEX!" the teacher's face was a furious blood red, as she scolded me for drifting off during mathematics.
I walked out a nano second after the bell rings. I budged through the excited stampede of fifth graders excited for summer. It was going to be another summer sitting through the heat of Bristol, even though it was raining half the time.
Harry's P.O.V. (its near the end of July now)
I was a wake, it was about 3 minutes to midnight; the rain was rocking the the lighthouse/refuge the Dursleys were taking from the menacing letters, which were for me though I was never allowed to read them. My thin navy green sleeping bag flew off at exactly midnight because the door burst open, and a extremely tall and hairy man came in.
"Sorry about that." The man said as her had broken down the door.
"You are trespassing on private property, I order you to remove your self at once!" Uncle Vernon yelled enraged with a terrible amount of fury.
"Dry up Dursely, you old prune." The man yelled back just as loud, and bent Uncle Vernon's Shot gun up to ceiling that my Uncle was holding just as he was about to shoot.
" 'Arry Potter! Is that you?," he was staring at Dudley now. " You are much fatter then me expected but thats okay."
"I-I a-a-a-am not H-h-h-harry P-p-p-potter." Dudley stuttered as He moved closer to him.
"I am." I said coming out from my hiding place.
"Well of course ya are," The man said. "Here ya are, I might have sat on it but it will still taste as good, I baked it my self words and all." He added cheerfully pulling out a white box with purple ribbon that contained a pink frosted cake with a gimped version of Happy Birthday Harry in green frosting.
"Thank you." I said as I took the cake.
"Well it is not everyday a young man turns eleven." He explained with a enormous smile plastered on his wrinkled face. He sat down and took out an umbrella and then pointed it at the fire place, as if magic a warm fire appeared.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" I questioned as I put down the cake.
"Rubeus Hagrid, keeper of keys and games at Hogwarts, of course you know all about Hog- warts" answered the fairly large man, as he looked at me.
"No." I said quietly.
"No," Hagrid was curious. "Blimey, Harry don't you ever wonder where your mom and dad learned it all?"
"Learned what?" I said staring at him.
"You're a wizard Harry." He suddenly added.
My face went blank with shock, was he mad? "I'm a what?"
"A wizard, a thumping good one once you train up." He repeated.
"You have made a mistake, I mean. I can't be a w-wizard. I'm. Just. Harry. Just harry." I responded nervously.
"Well, just Harry. Ever made something happen that you couldn't explain when you were angry or scared?" Hagrid said still trying to prove his point.
Come to think of it I did like when Dudley fell into the anaconda exhibit at the zoo. Hagrid could tell by my face I did he raised his eyebrows and laughed. The he got up and handed me a letter. It looked like one of the ones that were being sent to me with the address, Harry Potter, cup board under the stairs, Privet Drive, Little Whingling, Surrey.
"Dear Mr. Potter, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry." I read aloud amazed.
"He will not be going I tell you," Uncle Vernon said rushing to my side. " We swore when we took him in we would put a stop to all this rubbish!"
"You knew?" I said looking over at my Uncle and Aunt. "You knew all this time and you never told me!"
" 'Course we knew," My Aunt Petunia scoffed. "How could we not?!?! My perfect sister being who she was, your mother was so proud the day she got her letter, oh we had a witch in the family how wonderful. I was the only one to she her for what she really was, a freak! And then she got married to that Potter boy, and then she had you, and I knew you would be the same just as strange, just as abnormal. AND she got herself blown up and we get landed with you."
"BLOWN UP! You said my parents died in a car crash!" I yelled back fury was pulsing in me, I was bloody pissed.
"A car crash? A CAR CRASH KILL LILY AND JAMES POTTER! It's an out rage," Hagrid yelled his voice changing levels at different moments. "It is a scandal!"
"He will not be going." said Uncle Vernon smirking.
"I suppose a great muggle like yourself is going to stop him?" Hagrid said.
"Muggle?" I was confused having never heard the word before.
"Non magic folk," Hagrid explained but then changed the subject. " the boy has had his name down ever since he was born, at the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world! And he will be under the finest headmaster that Hogwarts has ever seen! Albus Dumbledore."
" I will not pay for some crack pot old fool to teach him magic tricks!" Uncle Vernon protested.
"You will never insult Albus Dumbledore in front of me." Hagrid was mad. Then he noticed Dudley eating my cake, he shot his Umbrella at him and then Dudley grew a pigs tail. The whole Dursley family was screaming, while Hagrid and I were laughing.
"I appreciate it if you don't tell anyone," Hagrid whispered. "I'm not allowed to do that, truthfully I am not allowed to do that. Well, we are off schedule, best be going."
He broke down the door again, and then when he noticed I was nowhere near him he turned back and said, " Unless you rather stay of course?" He was grinning, I shook my head no, and we were off.
Alex's P.O.V
I was on my couch listening to my brother Justin and Max squabble over an action figure of Captain Jim Bob Sherwood. Ugh, another boring day. My dad was at work, he was a chef at a local deli, and my mom was cooking dinner. I missed Chels my best friend, she was in Ireland for the summer, visiting her Granddad.
I noticed an owl sitting on the deck, I went over to it and saw a letter hanging from the owl's beak.
