the morning had started just like any other  . i went to get the mail and flipped through the letters . eventually coming across on with my name on it . i set the rest of the letters on the kitchen table and started opening my letter when zac snatched it from my hand and gave it to my uncle Thomas . he looked at the seal for a slit second and his face turned pale and ripped the letter up .

Thomas :  not any anymore . if you get anymore of these letters i swear you will wish . never mind just don't open the letters .

Jamie : Thomas what letter did he get .

Jamie : Zachariah leave the room  and elan please go to your closet .

Thomas ;  he can't be eleven already . Jamie isn't he only ten .

Jamie ; they send the letter a few days before the child turns eleven .elan's birthday is in three days .we can't let him get a letter . he is not learning magic ..

zac : dad you're crazy  !
