When Lyla and Ron got their letter, they were so excited. It was a hot June afternoon and the two were playing with fireworks in the garden with Ron's brothers, the twins Fred and George and Ginny, Ron's little sister.

They were interrupted by a sharp whistle from the Weasley family owl, Errol, who was carrying two letters.
After dropping them to the ground, he tried to enter the Burrow through the window, but he crashed violently against it, causing a loud laugh from all present because of his clumsiness.

Ron and Lyla ran right away and quickly grabbed the letters lying on the ground and started to open them right away.

Lyla hesitated for a second and touched it for a moment. The letter was yellowish parchment, it was heavy and the addressee was written in emerald green ink. On the front of the envelope was an unmistakable dark red wax seal: the seal of Hogwarts.
As soon as she opened it, Lyla started to read the contents in one breath without lifting her eyes from the letter.
