Sorry guys. Fanfiction is giving me a hard time. Must be the chapter was too long. Oh well, here's Part Two of Chapter One: Letters:

Dumbledore beamed, "Sometimes that's all that matters. Well, I am here to personally invite you to attend Hogwarts."

Lupin's mouth dropped. He had dreamed of going to Hogwarts for years, but always knew that it was a hopeless desire.

"But sir…" he gasped, "What about my…condition?"

Dumbledore raised his hand, "Everything is taken care of."

Lupin's knees felt weak. So many thoughts were running through his mind, that for a moment he was speechless. Dumbledore waited, patiently.

"P…Professor," Lupin finally stuttered, "Sir, we don't have a lot of…that is to say, we can't…we can't afford…"

"Hogwarts will gladly pay for your expenses," Dumbledore assured him.

Lupin shook his head, "N…no. I couldn't ask you to do that."

"It's no trouble at all, Mr. Lupin," Dumbledore said gently, "Please, think about it."

Lupin didn't know what to say. He just nodded, numbly.

Later that night, he sat awake on his mattress, his mind buzzing with thoughts. This was his chance; a chance to act like a normal wizard.

But still, he couldn't risk it. What if everyone found out? He was a danger.

But if Dumbledore said that everything was under control…well, Lupin couldn't help but to trust Dumbledore.

He lied down, and found that the mattress was comfier than he had ever realized.

~Peter~

In the suburbs of London, in a small townhouse, in what appeared to be a frilly nursery, a plump, round boy was trying to squeeze himself under his bed.

"Peter? Peter dear, it's Mummy," Mrs. Pettigrew knocked on the door.

"I'm n…n…not coming out!" Peter squeaked. He had given up on trying to fit under the bed, and was now clutching his teddy bear, tightly.

"Peter, dear, please come out!" Mrs. Pettigrew pleaded, "Nothing's going to hurt you!"

Peter, however, knew different. He had just read the Daily Prophet, something that his parents advised on doing, because it gave him night terrors.

"B…b…but that one woman d…disappeared!" Peter squealed, "I…I…I could be next! And…I'm…a…I'm a Squib! I…c…can't protect myself!"

Peter's family was unusual in the sense that both his mother and father were Squibs. Because of this, they lived in a Muggle neighborhood. While one Squib in the family was unusual, two Squibs was almost unheard of. Peter was quite certain that he was a Squib too. Anytime he did Accidental Magic, it ended up going terribly wrong.

"You're not a Squib, Peter," Mrs. Pettigrew sighed, exasperated, "That's what I've been trying to tell you. I just got your Hogwarts letter?"

Peter stopped shaking, his eyes widening, his face breaking out into a gummy smile. "Did you hear that Mr. Teddy? I am a wizard! I'm going to go to Hogwarts! I'm a big boy!"

"Come on dear," Mrs. Pettigrew coaxed, "Come on out."

Peter took a deep breath and walked to the door. Then he realized something, "W…wait. T…the letter. I could get a…a…p…paper cut!"

He squealed and ran back to his bed, hiding under his pink bedcovers.

~Lily~

Lying under a pink bedspread was a girl with long, dark, red hair and brilliant, almond-shaped, green eyes.

Lily Evans had just woken up and was appreciating the tranquility of the new morning.

Then, with a loud bang, her door flew open.

"Get up, you little brat!" her sister screeched, "There's a stranger here who wants to see you. She's dressed like a freak!"

Lily groaned, sitting up. She was apparently to slow for Petunia who grabbed her hair and pulled.

"I said, get up! She's in the sitting room! GO!"

Massaging her head, Lily walked downstairs into the sitting room. She was taken aback by the woman who was sitting on her couch. The woman was wearing emerald green robes and a matching pointed hat, that sat on top of a tight bun. She peered at Lily, through square spectacles.

"Hello, Miss Evans. My name is Professor McGonagall."

"A…are you from Hogwarts?" Lily whispered, sitting down.

Professor McGonagall looked surprised, "Indeed. You know about Hogwarts, then? I was under the impression that you were Muggle born?"

"I am," Lily said quickly, "My friend, Severus, told me. So it's…it's real?"

Professor McGonagall smiled, "Yes, it is real. You are a witch. And you have been accepted to Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Here's your letter."

Lily read it aloud. She had just reached the supply list when her parents came in, courtesy of Petunia.

"Lily, what's going on?" he father asked.

"This is Professor McGonagall," Lily said, smiling, "She's come to tell me that I've been accepted to Hogwarts! See, I told you it was real!"

Mrs. Evans sighed, "Now, Lily, darling. I know you mean well, but why don't you wait to pretend until after our company leaves."

"But Mum," Lily said.

"Don't be stupid!" Petunia interrupted, "Of course it's not real!"

"I'm afraid it is," Professor McGonagall said. For the next quarter of an hour, she explained everything that the Evans needed to know about magic and Hogwarts.

When she was done, Mr. and Mrs. Evans looked shocked. Petunia, however, looked livid, "So that slimy, greasy, whelp was right?"

"If your talking about Severus!" Lily stood up, indignantly, "He's my best friend!" She looked at Professor McGonagall hopefully, "Did he get a Hogwarts letter too?"

"Severus Snape? Yes, I believe so," Professor McGonagall nodded.

"Good," Lily sighed with relief.

Petunia's eye twitched, "Fine. You can go be freaks together!"

Lily ignored her, staring at her letter in awe.

~Snivell…Err…I mean…Snape~

In a rundown, dusty, brick rowhouse in Spinner's End, a boy was staring at a heavy envelope that had just appeared at his window, via owl.

Severus Snape looked up at the dark red owl. It gave a raucous hoot, as if this place was the last in which the owl wanted to be, and began to take off.

"Wait," Snape said, holding onto the owl's talons, "Stay. Please. Keep me company."

The owl screeched and bit down onto Snape's hand. Swearing, Snape let go. It flew away, never looking back.

Snape sighed. He was quite tired, having been up all night listening to his parents yells. He crossed the small, miserable room, and unlocked the door. He listened and, assuming that it was safe, walked down to the den.

His father Tobias, was lying on the floor, bottles strewn about him. His mother, Eileen, was busy picking up the bottles. Snape saw that her face was bruised and cut.

"Mum," he said quietly.

"Ssshh," his mother hushed him quickly, "Your father's…not feeling well."

"Mum…"

"Severus please," his mother pleaded, trying to make him pretend that everything was alright.

Snape quieted. He went to leave the room, but before he did, he said, "I got my Hogwarts letter today."

"Oh, well done," Eileen said, absentmindedly, "You got accepted, I suppose? Just like your father."

Snape stared at her, his black eyes blazing, "No. No, I'm nothing like him at all."

There was a sudden knocking at the door.

Snape hurried out of the room as his father stirred.

"Lily?" he gasped, opening the door, "What are you doing here?"

For even though he and Lily had been friends for years, Snape had never taken her to his house, for very good reasons.

"I couldn't wait!" Lily said breathlessly, "I got my letter, Sev!"

Snape's face shown with delight, but he glanced behind him and grabbed Lily's hand, leading her away. When at last, they were half a dozen blocks away, he stopped.

"I got mine too," he said, shyly.

"Oh Sev!" Lily whispered, "We're going to Hogwarts!"

She hugged him tightly, and any glum thoughts Snape had disappeared.

"You'll stay with me, at Hogwarts? Won't you?" she whispered.

Snape hugged her back, "Always."

A rich, modest family, with a mischievous, well-loved son.

A wealthy, Dark-Arts loving family, with an unwanted son.

A poor, struggling family, with a son that seems to have a dark secret, but tries to make the most of things.

A family of Squibs with a terrified, chubby, son.

A Muggle family with a daughter, who's brilliant at everything she does.

And Snape.

Six families, six different children, all coming together in one destined adventure at Hogwarts.

End of Chapter One.

I promise the next chapters won't be as long.
