Harry Potter, 6th year
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" screamed a 16-year-old boy waking up with unbearable pain in his forehead near his lightning-bolt shaped scar. This was not unusual coming from Harry Potter. His scar often stung. It meant Lord Voldemort was having extremely emotional feelings. This time he was very happy. Something good had happened.
Harry sat up just in time to see Hedwig, his snow-white owl, flutter through the window bringing letters. Hedwig was his only companion since he was totally cut off from the wizarding world. His Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon totally neglected him but he liked it better that way.
Hedwig hooted blandly. Harry quickly untied the letters as Hedwig flew over into her cage taking huge gulps of water.
Harry looked at the first letter. It had a seal on it that showed these letters: T.G.O.W.L.
This he suspected meant: Test Grading of the Ordinary Wizarding Levels. His O.W.L. test results were here! He opened the letter carefully. A note fell out.
Dear Mr. Harry Potter,
Inside are your O.W.L. Results. Due to extra showings during your Practical Defense Against the Dark Arts test you have been given extra points. Also, due to the disturbance during your Astronomy Practical Exam, you will receive whatever you get on your Written Exam. These may or may not affect your final grade.
Sandra Feinder
T.G.O.W.L Head Chief

Harry couldn't believe it! He had just scraped out 8/17 O.W.L.S. and he now had a chance to become and Auror, which was the only real job he had ever considered. The only downside was that he had to be in Professor Snape's N.E.W.T. class. But he had to make some sacrifices so that he could be and Auror.
The second letter was from Hermione.
Dear Harry,
I know it must be hard for you to be all alone on your birthday so I thought Ron and I could come and get you on June 19(eleven days before your birthday). We're staying at the Burrow. Send me a letter back as soon as you get this.
From HermioneP.S. By the way, I got fifteen O.W.L.S. Ron got two.
Harry was awestruck. He would be leaving more that a month early. The last letter had the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizarding crest on it. It was obviously the supply list. He didn't bother opening it yet. He needed to send Hermione a letter.
Hermione,
I got your letter and I can come. I got eight O.W.L.S. Come around 5:00.
-Harry
Harry walked over to Hedwig's cage where she was still eating greedily.
"Come on Hedwig. Send this to Hermione."
Hedwig hooted dolefully. Harry took Hedwig to the window. Hedwig flew off.
Harry went back to his bed to sit down. He was finally leaving!
