It was a nice and peaceful day at Godric's Hollow, the now 10 nearly 11 year old Harry Potter was playing quidditch outside with the marauders until a smoky grey owl flew into in garden Lily was surprised and did not know what it was, James , Sirius and Remus on the over hand were screaming like little girls, and Harry, like when he was younger laughed at his father, godfather and uncle. " What are you big band of bumbling baboons squealing at" Lily said as she shoot them a look " Look at it dear see" James replied while trying not to squeal, and to Lily's surprise James, Sirius and Remus were right. Lily Turned over the envelope and it was what they were waiting for. Harry was off his broom and came over to his parents

" Mum what is that?" He said curiosity in his voice

" It's for you honey" Lily passed her son the letter " Read it to us Harry"

" i-i-it says i can go to HOGWARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!" Harry, was now joining in on the jumping around. James, Sirius, Harry and Remus were squealing and jumping up and down, and before long Lily joined them.

" HARRY'S GOING TO HOGWARTS!!" The Adults squealed while Harry was screaming that he was going to hogwarts. After about 15 minutes of squealing James asked his son. " Who wrote it son?"

"Um Minerva McGonagall"

"MINNIE" James and Sirius Said together rather excitedly. Remus and Lily looked at each other and Harry asked who's 'Minnie.' James and Sirius explained that when they were at school they called her Minnie.

"Now for the serious stuff" But before Sirius could comment Lily added " Not you Sirius i said SERIOUS stuff, Now." Lily turned to harry " What do you need sweetie" Harry replied with a full on list
