"That's us" muttered Charlotte

But before they could open it Uncle Vernon grabbed it and tore it to pieces to the shock of the Twins.

Everyday the same letter arrived, Uncle Vernon did everything he could to stop them. Including burning them, nailing the letter box, moving them to a hotel. Until finally he moved the whole family to a small cabin by the sea.

"Harry this STINKS!" Charlotte whispered harshly her fists clenching as Harry drew a birthday cake into the dust on the ground.

Charlotte had always been known to have a very short fuse. She also would not let Dudley and his friends punch her without giving them a punch in the gut in return. Now the letter fiasco with Uncle Vernon made her so mad she almost could SCREAM!

She also had a soft girly side, she loved romance novels, she loved to sing and dance, she would spend a half and hour with her hair, and although she wanted to be independent from her brother she loved spending time with him.

"Make a wish Char." said Harry

They both blew on the dust and suddenly the door shook! Not only the door, the whole cabin shook.

Harry stood behind his sister who had her fists raised ready to defend herself and her brother.

A tall man with a beard knocked the door down and stepped inside "sorry 'bout that." he said putting the door back.

Charlotte slowly recognized him as if from a dream. "Hagrid?" she asked walking to him.

"Hello Charlotte". He said " my 'ave ya two grown."

"Excuse me but who are you?" Harry asked wondering why Charlotte recognized him when he didn't.

"Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts.'Course ya know all 'bout Hogwarts."
"Sorry, no" they both said

"Blimey ya two haven't ya wondered where ya mum and dad learned it all?!"

"Learned what." Harry asked

"Yer a wizard and a witch."

"But we can't be" said Charlotte

"'Ave ya made anythin' happen when ya were angry or scared?" he handed Charlotte the same letter they'd been getting.

She opened it and began to read her excitement growing like a bubble with each word she read:

Dear Mr ands Ms. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you both that you have been accepted at

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Term starts Sept. 1st ,and term item lists are enclosed

Sincerely,

Professor M. Mcgonagall

Uncle Vernon finally spoke his face an ugly puce. "they will not be going! We swore when we took them in we'd put a stop to all this rubbish."

"You knew?!" Harry demanded " you knew all along and you never told us?!"

Aunt Petunia snorted "of course we knew! How could you not be? My perfect sister being what she was. Mother and Father were so proud the day she got her letter. Then she met that Potter, and then she had you two. And I knew you both would be as strange and abnormal. Then they got blown up!"

"BLOWN UP!" Charlotte screeched " you said Mum and Daddy died in a car crash"

Hagrid snorted " a car crash killed Lily and James Potter? It's an outrage. These kids had there names down since they were born and they'll be under the greatest headmaster Hogwarts has ever seen Albus Dunbledore!"

"I WILL NOT PAY FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH THEM MAGIC TRICKS!" roared Uncle Vernon

Hagrid raised his pink umbrella "NEVER—INSULT—ALBUS-DUMBLEDORE-IN FRONT-OF-ME!" A bright white light shot out of Hagrid's umbrella and onto Dudley's backside.

Dudley screamed as he suddenly grew a pig's tail. He squealed and rushed about the room.

"I'd appreciate it if ya not tell anyone, I'm not allowed ter do magic. C'mon we got a lot ter do." he pulled down the door "unless ya'd rather stay o'course." he went out into the night

The twins looked at each other then ran after Hagrid.
