Alright, because my other Holes/Harry Pottter crossover (Escape From Digging To A Magical World) was a complete bomb, I'm writing this one to make up for it, and I hope all those who read EFDTAMW will check this story out too, and hopefully it will last longer than the other one. I also apologise for making them all wait so long without any notice. You may find the first few chapters similar to EFDTAMW; please note that this is intendend as I'm trying to take my old story and give it more...well...plot. And now, witout further adeiu, on with the story.

Disclaimer: Oh yeah, and uh, I don't own either Harry Potter or Holes.

The D-tent Boys looked up from their digging as a large, tawny owl fluttered above their heads.

"What is it?"

"Oh, hey, it's one o' them buzzards, man."

"Please don't hurt me little buzzard! I'm sorry I made your nest explode into the pretty dancing flames!" At this, the rest of the boys looked weirdly at ZigZag. The owl descended.

"Oh no! It's gonna eat Zero!"

"Zero, man, watch out!"

"Chill out guys; it's just an owl." Said Caveman.

"Owl?"

"A large, noctornal, preatory bird."

"I know that! I mean, what's one doing here scaring the crap outta ZigZag?"

"Hey!" said boy shouting jumping on Squid and proceeding to have a huge fistfight with him. The owl dropped a letter on Zero's head.

"Whoa, what is it Zero?" They all (minus ZigZag and Squid, who's fight had by now evolved into what looked like a huge dust cloud with an occasional fist or something flying out) crowded around Zero's hole. Unfortunately, at that very moment the water truck drove up.

"What are all you girl scouts doing lollygagging around?" Asked Mr. Sir. "Find something?"

"No Mr. Sir." answered Zero, quickly shoving the letter into his pocket.

"Well get back to work! This isn't a girl scout camp." He said, eyeing them.

"Yes Mr. Sir."

Back in D-tent, Zero sat alone with his letter. Who would be writing to me? he wondered. Maybe...Nah.

Zero sighed. There was no way it could be his mother writing to him; she was gone. He opened the letter. A barrage of jumbled up letters and words jumped out at him.

Darn! he thought. I'm still not very good at reading! Maybe I should wait for Stanley to get back . Zero figured he could at least try, though.

Dear Mr. Zeroni,

He read. What? Stanley and mom are the only ones who know my real name.

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

That settles it. he thought. Either I really need to practice my reading, or the heat and deprivetion of water have finally gotten to me. Uh...I'm just gonna wait for Stanley now.
