Harry stared at the letter for a lot of times. He couldn't believe it. Someone wanted him, wanted to adopt him ! Someone love him !

The last realization made Harry do the usual thing he seemed to love these days, he fainted.

When he opened his eyes he was resting on his bed again. He didn't understand at first but then he remembered what happened and he couldn't help the feeling of shame that inhabited his heart. His grandparents wanted to adopt him and the only thing he could do was to faint! He was angry with himself more than he ever had.

He jumped off the bed and came rushing downstairs. He missed the five last steps and came on his back in the living room. He heard a laugh and found all of his family smiling and laughing, even Petunia had a smile on her lips, which was something rare.

"I accept" was the only Harry said, however, everyone knew what he was talking about.

"By the way Harry" said Olivia "you didn't really tell us your full name. I'm sure that you aren't just called Harry." she finished with a smile

"No Harry isn't my full name" he explained "My name is Harry James Evans".

When Olivia looked at him in the eye, she saw them being watery.

"I'm sorry Harry" broke down Petunia, which was surprising "but why did you faint, we all thought that you didn't want to accept the form"

"It's not that, it's just that it showed a lot of love from all of you, because I'm sure that if one of you didn't want me, I wouldn't have received this fabulous gift. But, the fact that you love me was very knew. You see, my parents both died when I was a year old and I was raised by people who hated me, hence a lot of physical and mental abuse"

"Anyway, I just wanted to tell that from the weeks I have been with you, I already loved you like a family. I just hope that I can be a good son" He finished.

Seconds passed and Lily stood up first and went to hug him. The parents and Petunia joined the hug as well. The love that emanated from the room made Harry cry on the shoulder of Harold.

How long he cried, he didn't know but when the tears stop flooding, a small light appeared to come through his chest, it looked like face smiling. It was his love that transported him, his love that made him appear at that house.

The others watched the light with anticipation but when they saw Harry with a true smile on his lips, the fright went down.

Harry went to his rooms to sleep. He didn't know why bu today was going to be a long day for his new family.

Minerva McGonagall was having a hard day. It was the day when she had to go to the houses of the muggleborns and explain to them what magic was and that their children were invited to Hogwarts.

Leaving the house of the Armstrongs she took a look at her list, oh great ! only two students remained and they were surely brother and sister. She read the names "Harry Evans" and "Lily Evans" then watched the address : "Number 4, Privet Drive, Surrey"

She apparated next to the house and took some minutes to compose herself before knocking.

It was a small boy with messy hair, a lightning bolt scar and pure green eyes that opened the door.

She couldn't help to mutter

"James ?"

"I'm sorry, my name is Harry Evans, What's yours ?"

"I'm sorry Harry" she said softly "Could I speak to your parents and your sister ?"

"Sure, which one ?" although he knew which one.

"Err, Lily" she said uncertainly. It was commonly known that sisters that weren't magical tended to be jealous of the ones that were. But, she didn't let her worry appear in her face as she went into the house.

"MUM ! DAD! LILS" he yelled "Someone here wants to meet you".

There were loud thumps coming from the staircase and cute girl with blazing red hair came hurling into the room quickly followed by two adults.

"Hello miss, I'm Harold and this is my wife Olivia, how could we be of any help?"

"Hello sir, what I am going to say can be rather a shock for you so I suggest you sit down"

They all sat.

"My name is Minerva McGonagall, I'm the deputy headmistress of a school named Hogwarts. Hogwarts is a boarding school for people who have some special ability. Hogwarts is a school of magic."

"Magic !" exclaimed Harold with a astonished look on his face "magic ? like Merlin, wand movements and funny words ?"

"Yes" she said with a laugh "Merlin was one of the first wizards ever. Anyway, I came to tell you that Harry and Lily here are both magical and therefore fulfill the requirements to be accepted."

"I see, over the years, we found that Lily had made special things, like appear at home when she was bullied, or levitate some glasses. The same thing happened with here, thought we don't know if he did that all his life or not because we adopted him some weeks ago. But first, can you show us some magic ?"

"Naturally" She took out her wand and started to perform minor charms and transfiguration.

All of the family was bewildered. But it was Lily that spoke up first :

"What about Petunia, is she a witch too ?"

"I'm afraid not, otherwise I would have visited her when she turned eleven, I am sorry though is that can be of any help"

"I knew it ! I was a witch ! Severus told me when we were in our country home in Cokeworth"

"Here are your Hogwarts acceptance letters, if you decide that you want to go, everything is written is there. The only thing you need to know is that the Leaky Cauldron is situated in Charing Cross Road. When you enter, you need to ask for Tom the barman who will show you the way there. I highly recommend that you go to Gringotts bank first to change you money into wizard money. I'm afraid I've done everything to help you so right now I will go and let you decide. Oh ! and one last thing, to go to platform 9 ¾ you need to walk through the wall between platform 9 and 10."

"Thank you Miss McGonagall, we'll go and see what this is all about" said Olivia with a genuine smile"
