Now for John's letter. So I've changed John's character a lot, after reading a review so now he's a lot more curious, just like the 11th Doctor :3 Really hope I'm making this better by re-writing it. Please let me know by reviewing and you can follow and favourite if you really enjoy it :P
DISCLAIMER: I don't own DW or HP :'(
Chapter 2 - John
John had always been fascinated by muggles. He watched as children ran across the street every day, wishing he was with them. It felt so weird not going to school with them, even though he knew that he wasn't like them. His mother had taught him all the basic stuff like reading and writing at a young age, but that was pretty much all the education he'd had.
He turned away from his bedroom window and sat on his bed. Just at that moment, he heard his mother call him down for lunch. He made his way down the stairs and when he got to the kitchen table, sat down and tucked into his sandwich.
"You excited for your birthday tomorrow?" his mum asked him.
"Yeah, I can't wait to get my Hogwarts letter!" he said excitedly.
"I bet you can't. I will miss you a lot though, John. There'll be no one to cause any trouble round here anymore."
John laughed a little and then continued into his sandwich. He couldn't wait until he went to Hogwarts. He wanted to go to school like everyone else and now he was finally going.
"Is it true that Harry Potter will be in my year?" John asked.
"Yes, I think so. It was in the Daily Prophet," his mum answered.
"Yay! I can't wait to meet him! He's is so cool!" John said excitedly.
"Yes, I know, John. But you have to promise me one thing. Please don't crowd the poor boy, I'm sure he's got enough on his plate."
"Yes, mum."
"Now, I'm going to have to leave you at River's again because I need to make a trip to Diagon Alley. Is that okay?"
"Yeah," John said smiling. River was his only friend. She was a Muggle, and he wasn't allowed to tell her about his magic.
About an hour later, John was dropped off at River's and his mum apparated to Diagon Alley, in search of a birthday present for her son.
The sun greeted John the next morning as he woke up in his bedroom. He automatically jumped up and shouted "It's my birthday!"
His mum ran in laughing. "John, don't shout like that. You'll attract all the neighbours," she said pulling him into a hug. "Happy Birthday, though."
"Thanks, mum."
They went downstairs, and she made John his favourite breakfast; Sausage sandwiches. While he ate, she walked up to the window, tears streaming down her face. John noticed, but left her, knowing why she was crying. Every year on his birthday his mother cried, because of his father.
She had told him that his father had died on his third birthday. She had never said how, but that it was an accident. He hadn't known his father well, but it still made him sad. He had one picture in his room, of his father holding him as a baby, and twirling around in circles laughing. John looked very alike to his father.
Just as his mother was looking out of the window, she spotted something. An owl was flying towards their house carrying an envelope in its beak. She wiped away her tears and turned around to John.
"I think this could be it, John. Your Hogwarts letter." she said, sounding excited to make him happy.
"Yay!" John shouted, standing up and running to the window.
They watched together as the owl came closer and closer until it sat on their windowsill. John took the envelope and stroked the owl. Then it flew off without a second glance.
"Can I open it?" John asked, shaking with excitement.
"Of course," his mum said. "What are you waiting for?"
John took one more look at the perfect red Hogwarts seal before ripping it open.
Sorry that these chapters are boring at the moment. I promise that they will get better :) Please believe me and keep reading :P
