Chapter 4 Ephram's letter

''EEEEPPPPHHHHRRRRAAAAMMMM'', Andy Brown yelled, Colin is waiting for you in the car. Tell him that I'll be right down, Ephram yelled back.

Okay, Andy thought by himself as he walked to Colin. You don't have to say anything I already heard him myself. How are you doing Colin? I'm fine, I'm starting to remember a few things when I was younger, just the little things. Good for you, Andy said. Before Andy could say anything else Ephram stepped next to him and said '' shall we go otherwise we'll be too late to pick up Amy as well?. Okay, Colin said, bye Dr Brown.

When Colin, Ephram and Amy arrived at school they walked as quickly as they could to their classes. When school was over Ephram, Amy and Colin ride back to their homes.

When they arrived at Ephram's house, Colin saw an owl sitting on the porch with a letter on his neck. Look Ephram you've got company, he said. It looks like it, strange that he has a letter around his neck. I got tot go, packing everything, I can't believe that I'm going on a skiing-trip together with Amy and her folks, Colin said. And I can't believe that I'm going to spend al the summer with my dad fishing hooray, he said trying to be enthusiastic of his father's idea.

Bye, see you back after the summer, Colin said. Before Ephram could say something back Colin was already gone.

Ephram, someone from the inside yelled, Ephram is that you?? Ephram knew exactly who that was, his sister Delia. Before he could run to his room he bumped into Delia. Haven't you seen the letter on the owl? Delia said curiously. Yes, I have, said Ephram, for who is it then? For you dummy, Delia said, common and let's see what's in the letter. Okay, Ephram said while following Delia. When they arrived at the porch the owl was already gone and nowhere to see, only the letter which was laying on the floor was left behind. Before Delia could take the letter Ephram grabbed it. He tore the envelop open en began the read.

Dear Mister Ephram Brown,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Your farther can tell you the whole story. You will be attending the sixth year of Hogwarts. That's because your mother put a spell on you, that when you turn 16 you will have your magical power. The same happened to your sister. You will have summer-study with another student in Sunnydale. This is the place where the other student lives and you and a mentor named Sirius Black will be staying at her house. Mister Black will be your mentor and will be teaching you all the important things of magic of the past five years. Hagrid will pick you up the day after tomorrow for buying school-supplies. I hope to hear your response as soon as possible.

Headmaster Dumbledore

Oh my god, I can't believe this, someone is tricking me or not, Ephram thought. It wasn't making sense. He decided to wait for his farther to come home.

After a lot of waiting he fell asleep on the couch, but he woke up as soon as he heard the squeeze of the doorknob. Ephram, why are you still up? Andy asked. I need to talk, Ephram answered. The only time that we talk it ends up in a fight and I'm a little bit too tired to argue, Andy said with sarcasm is his voice. No, I just have a few questions about this letter, he said while giving it to his farther. Ohw, Andy said, I thought that you and Delia didn't had the magic in you, because you didn't had an invitation when you were 11 years old. I shall explain you a few things.

Your mother was a powerful witch, she also went to Hogwarts. Her Farther and mother were also witches.Her family has a long history of witches. I wasn't a wizard. But I found out one year after we were married. She put a spell on you and later on Delia so that you would be safe. It was a difficult time then, A great but evil wizard was in war with the good ones. The only way to protect you was to give you the magical power until you turned 16, the age that you could understand more. I disagreed with her, but I couldn't stop her.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. Andy said comforted. I think you should say goodbye to your friends before they leave, because you'll be gone the whole year, except from the holidays.

Okay, Ephram said, by the way who is Hagrid? You'll like him, Andy said.

The next morning, Ephram decided to say goodbye to Colin and Amy, maybe it was a good idea to go away from here, maybe I won't like Amy so much.

When he arrived at Colin's house, nobody was there, so he thought that everyone would be at Amy's house. So he went to Amy's house. He could see Amy and Colin sitting on the porch kissing eacher. Damn why him and not me, he thought jealous. No I can think that way, he's my best friend, He thought. He locked his bike and when to the porch. ''Hi Ephram , I weren't expecting you'', Amy said. I just wanna say goodbye, I'm going to a school ( he couldn't wizardschool, they would think he was a freak.) in England It's a great chance to attend at this school. So I only be here for the holidays, Ephram said while looking at the shocking faces of his friends. Hey, I'm not dying, he said with sarcasm.

Sorry but we are a little bit shocked but we wish you good luck, Colin said.

We can write of course, Ephram said after hugging them both. Amy had a tear in the eye that only Ephram could see. I have to go now, bye you guys, said Ephram.
