Chapter 5: The Life Changing Letter
Steven was totally freaked out when the robber turned
into a pig, he was relived that he lived though the
experience but all the same he was freaked out.
He noticed that his dream was getting more intense as
the nights passed he could now fully remember people
talking and laughing over golden plates and goblets,
he could also remember candles floating in midair and
walls that seemed to go endlessly into a very clear
star lit sky. He could also hear talking from some
women 'So what have you been doing since Hogwarts?"
the other woman said "Well I am head of design at
Madam Makins Robes...". After that it went right
back to the rainy night and his mother picking him up.
When Steven explained the dream to his mother she
was convinced this was a memory. And as the dream
grew even more vivid he kept to himself a lot more.
No one really noticed since it was the last week of
school, and once school was out another strange thing
happened their was an owl perched up on a shelf in his room.
"Ma..ma... Mom" He said. "What is it dear?" she said.
Steven continued to say "Their is an owl in my room!"
When his mother walked into his room she stood frozen
the only words that came to mind were "I guess you should
have kept your window closed" and with that Steven walked
up to the owl and noticed a letter around it's leg. He removed
the letter, the envelope was made of thick yellow parchment and
in blue ink across the front there was:
"To Mr. Steven Potter
the nice bedroom
Brooklyn New York
America"
Steven said "Mom this is for some guy named Steven Potter...".
He opened the letter and it read:
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore
Dear Steven,
You have been accepted to Hogwarts
The headmaster himself will arrive at your house
tomorrow at noon to pick you up and take you to London
to buy your supplies. You will receive all the details tomorrow.
Yours,
Minerva Mcgonagall
Deputy Headmistress"
When Steven finished reading the letter he said
"This makes perfect sense because in my dream some
lady had mentioned hogwarts.
*********
The very next night Steven was very excited for
this man to arrive. His mother on the otherhand
knew that her little guy was going to find out
that she wasn't his real mother.
She figured if Steven had to find this out she
better be the one to tell him. Steven's mother
had called him inside when he came in she as
almost in tears "Whats wrong Mom" Steven said
looking concerned. "I have to tell you something..."
his mother said very weakly. "What Mom? What is it?"
Steven said as he sat down next to her."I... I... I am
not your real mother" she said. Steven was about to speak
when she said "Wait let me continue. I found you when you
were a year old in a rainstorm. Those dreams you were having
they are memories." When she said this Steven was in tears and
said "You took care of me and you still do you will always be my
mother. But I do wish to go to this school. So that I may find my
roots." "I understand" and with that Steven and his mother walked
into the living room. When they sat down there was a knock at the
door. Steven looked to his mother and answered the door. Standing
before him was a very old man with a nose that looked like it was
broken twice and a twinkle in his eye. He was wearing robes of Sky blue.
All Steven could say was "I remember you from my dreams... Would you like
to come in?" The old man walked in and said "Hello Steven, my name is
Albus Dumbledore. I haven't seen you since you were a baby. You look
just like your mother but you have your father's eyes." Steven had a
million questions he wanted to ask so he just said the first one on
his mind "So what is Hogwarts?" Dumbledore said very kindly "Hogwarts
is a school that teaches the magical arts." Steven then said "Magic?
I can't do magic" Dumbledore said "Remember the pig? you did that.
Also the way you came here was magic." Steven then quickly said
"How did I get here"Dumbledore said "Well about 16 years ago at
your parents school reunion they brought you along because their
was a dark wizard named Voldemort after them. They didn't want
to see you get hurt so they took you with them. The evening was
going very well but just as I was about to make a closing speech
you had done your first magic you deapperated. This is not normal
for a wizards first magic, every one searched but we couldn't find
you until you used magic again." Steven sat in amazement as he heard
this finally saying "Since you found me will I get to meet my parents?"
Dumbledore then lowered his head and looked back to Steven and said
"Sadly your parents died two years after you disappeared. You do have a
brother though. His name is Harry and you are the only family he has left.
He has stopped Voldemort three times since his birth but Voldemort is gaining
power again and you and Harry are the only two who can stop him. Now I know you
must be tired, Get some sleep because tomorrow we will go buy your supplies."
Dumbledore then said "I know this is a lot for you to take in but as a Potter
I am sure you will be able to handle it, Goodnight."
