Harry Potter Fanfiction book 1: The New Era

Henry

He knew something was going on when an owl was sitting outside his window sill.

It was a pretty owl, with tawny brown feathers. That was the first thing that caught his attention.

The moonlight was dim, and the only light in his room was the lamp. The shriek of the owl had woken him up at five in the morning. The London sun hadn't risen.

He noticed the note tied to its leg a few seconds later.

Henry reached out. The owl shrieked.

"Shush!" Henry whispered-yelled. "You'll wake my parents!"

The tawny-feathered owl seemed to understand. She held out her leg, and Henry untied the note.

Dear Mr. Logan,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find the enclosed list of all necessary books and equipment. The term begins on August 4th. We await your owl no later than July 31st.

Yours sincerely,

Willa Amaya, Deputy Headmistress.

P. S. This owl is a gift from Professor Santon, Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Henry's jaw was open wide. His own owl?! Hogwarts?! He grabbed the piece of paper behind the note and read it.
