It had almost 6 weeks since the incident at the zoo, Henry had not been Harry for a while, but has noticed some strange things going on across the street at The Dursleys there were owls delivering letters to the house for several weeks but no one had seemed to answer them, his aunt and uncle had told him stories about a magical school called Hogwarts his mother and father and even his aunt and uncle attended Hogwarts when they around his age and they would deliver letters to their families by owl, very similar to how they delivered letters to the Dursleys he theorized that the letters must be for Harry.

Henry sat alone in his bedroom with a cupcake with a single candle given to him by his Aunt Wendy to celebrate his 11th birthday today, which wasn't all that fun since he missed Harry, he missed hanging out with him, going with him to their Enchanted Forest and having fun together.

After his relatives told him many stories about their years at Hogwarts as well as his parents time there, he hoped someday whenever he'd tell Harry the truth about him being a wizard, they could attend Hogwarts together, he then closed his eyes made his birthday wish, his wish was to see Harry again, tell him the truth about what he really was, and go to Hogwarts together, he then blew out the candle.

Then as soon as he blew out his candle, he looked out his open bedroom window to see an owl flying down from the sky and land on his windowsill in its beak was a white envelope with his name and his address, he took the letter from the owl and it flew away, after it flew off he looked at the letter and then opened it and started reading it:

Dear Mr. Harrow, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Students shall be required to report to the Chamber of Reception upon arrival, the dates of which will be advised

Please ensure the most utmost attention is made to the list of requirements herewith.

Term starts September 1st, we look forward to having you as part of the new generation of Hogwarts heritage

Sincerely
Professor Minerva McGonagall

He couldn't believe it, his heart raced with excitement he immediately went downstairs to tell his aunt and uncle

Aunt Wendy, Uncle Oliver, I've gotten a letter from Hogwarts! said Henry

Wendy and Oliver were so happy for Henry, it was the first time they'd seen their nephew smile in weeks and he was going to attend Hogwarts hopefully he would have a great time there like them and his parents before him, as they celebrated Henry's acceptance to Hogwarts they suddenly heard a loud knock on the front door and the front door came down, and the gamekeeper from Hogwarts Rubeus Hagrid was at the door with his adopted son Braxton

Oh Hagrid, long time no see said Oliver greeted

Hello Hagrid, come in said Wendy as she gave him a hug

Hello Ollie, Hey Wendy sorry about your door said Hagrid

That's alright, here said Wendy

Wendy got out her wand and used her magic to fix the front door, Henry saw the giant of a man and he was curious as to who he was.

Oh you must be Henry, I haven't seen you since you were a baby said Hagrid

Aunt Wendy, who is this? Henry asked out of curiosity

Oh Henry, this is an old friend of ours, Rubeus Hagrid, he's the groundskeeper at Hogwarts answered Wendy

Nice to meet you, Hagrid said Henry as he shook Hagrid's hand

Nice to meet you too Henry, this is my son Braxton said Hagrid introducing his son

Hello Braxton, my name is Henry said introducing himself

Nice to meet you Henry said Braxton as they shook hands

Are you going to Hogwarts too? Henry asked Braxton

Of course I'm really excited, where's Harry Potter my dad and I are supposed to deliver this letter to him Braxton asked

You're delivering a letter for Harry?, is he going to Hogwarts too? asked Henry

Or course he is, he's had his name in the acceptance book since the day he was born said Hagrid

But If you're delivering a letter to Harry, why didn't use an owl? asked Oliver

We did, but those ruddy Dursleys won't accept them so Dumbledore sent us to deliver it to him in person, do you happen to know where he is? asked Hagrid

Well we heard from our neighbour Mrs Figg that The Dursleys are some shack somewhere in Cokeworth said Wendy

Great, then that's where we'll be going, hey don't you come with us said Hagrid

Yes please Aunt Wendy, I'm ready to finally tell him what I really am said Henry

He's right dear, we've treated that boy like family it's time we told him said Oliver

Alright, we'll go said Wendy

Alright but I don't think there'll be enough room on my motorbike said Hagrid

Don't you worry about that we've got other ways to get there said Oliver

Wendy and Oliver then went to the basement of the house and they opened up a chest which contains two classic broomsticks which were theirs from when they played Quidditch at Hogwarts back in the 1960's they then waited until tonight to leave to go get Harry, later that night Hagrid then got on his motorbike and Braxton got in the seat on the side while Wendy and Oliver got on their broomsticks with Henry on the back of his Uncle Oliver's broom Hagrid revved up with bike and it flew up into the sky with The Harrows on their broomsticks following suit, they were now on their way were to give Harry Potter his Hogwarts letter and change his life forever.
