Chapter 2: 11th Birthday

Albus was a little nervous by the fact that it had been two days now and he hadn't heard from his father. But on the second night at about 11:30 pm he and Rose snuck downstairs and listened to his father talk through the fire. " We think we found the culprit dark wizard blew up a work building and set it aflame." Something like this hasn't happened in a while now". "I know" We think we know who's behind it" " who" Harry nooded his head. "Albus's mother made a soft screech"." I gotta go be home by tomorrow". "ok" Albus looked at Rose and Rose looked at him. What was happening? ...

Albus woke early and went outside and stared at his huge house. Many thought the Potter's were rich which they were you could say. Albus practiced on their Quidditch field. "Albus, Why you up so early"? Albus was on his brother's broom the Firebolt 180. He quickly turned around it was his mother." Breakfast will be in one hour okay". " Yeah " he replied.

"Oh Albus Happy Birthday". " Thanks Mum". His mother smiled and left. It was around noon his father came home." Look who it is its the Birthday Boy" he called. He hugged his father tightly and today we will go to Diagon alley I almost forgot that it was July 29 th today so after breakfast everyone in the car." Dad we still haven't got our letters. Just then whoo whoo Twiter. Twiter just flew on Albus's hand and hand him a letter that read:
