Chapter 1 O.W.L. Results
The setting sun on number four Privet Drive was marvelous for most people. Harry Potter was one of the few who did not see anything marvelous about it. Harry Potter was not ordinary, and therefore did not find this extraordinary. You would too, if you were a wizard. However, Harry was too preoccupied at the moment to notice the Apocalypse at the moment.
Five letters had just been delivered by owl post. He recognized three of he letters instantaneously. An untidy scrawl belonged to his great friend, Ron Weasly, and the other to Hermione Granger, another close friend. Another was he wizarding newspaper and a fifth letter he did not recognize. "At least my two best friends remembered my birthday", Harry muttered as he ripped open Ron's letter. He was still worried about his convicted godfather, Sirius Black. He read Ron's letter aloud.
Dear Harry, Hermione is over here with me and we are having a blast. She has been a bit unbearable for the last few hours since we got our O.W.L. results. She got ten and has not stopped gloating. I actually managed seven. Unfortunately, I got potions again with that prick again. We will b seeing you very shortly at five tomorrow, if you catch my drift. Your Best Mate, Ron
Harry was pleased with the letter, especially seeing Ron so soon. He then caught a P.S.
P.S. Your present was too big for Pig. Happy Birthday mate!
This made Harry happier. He ripped open Hermione's letter and read:
Dear Harry, Happy Birthday! Sorry to keep you with smuggles so long. Dumbledore has been popping in and out of where I am and he said I had the highest O.W.L. in the class! I mean 10 O.W.L.s is an accomplishment, no matter what Ron may think. I really hope you get here soon. Someone else is staying here. Her name is Nina. I have been hanging out, as she will join the school next term. Ron is pretty lonely. But we will see you soon.
Hermione
Harry was now intrigued. No one had ever transferred into Hogwarts.
"Oh well. It dosen't really matter too much."
The third letter was from Hogwarts. Harry thought it was his material list but it was not.

Professor McGonagall
Harry could not believe his luck. He had all the marks to become an Auror! He thought of taking a stroll to celebrate. He picked up the Daily Prophet and headed downstairs. He then heard his aunt say the most astonishing thing.
"Isn't that bloke you godfather?"
Harry stared at the newspaper cover in horror.
