What in the gods name is Hogwarts and why have i been accepted into it?And what's magic? Footsteps echoed behind me,and by how loud they are i'm guessing...yep i was proven right when chunky fingers gripped my shoulder in a vice like grip.Can you guess who it is?Yup it was vernon. "What is this?" The letter was ripped out of my hands and as he read it his face grew more red and red and if you looked closely his veins were twitching and bulging dangerously.

"..."

He was quiet.Not good, he always voiced his opinions.He was only quiet when in shock."WHAT IS THIS YOU FREAK!"His outburst made me flinch.He was walking closer and closer towards me and i could tell he was going to snap any second.He poised his fist and brought it down upon my face.I stumbled back with blood running down my nose dripping onto the tiled floor of the kitchen. Leaning against the counter i clenched my eyes shut and prepared myself for the pain i was about to endure. POP Wind wurled around me and i was momentarily lifted off the floor before being settled back onto a firm solid floor.At first i was still but i then opened one eye tentatively and peered around nervously. I looked around in amazement.
