(Days later)

Everything seemed quiet. All 3 of the family are enjoying a nice, quiet day at their home. Harry hears mails sliding into their home. He gets up and went to get the posts. He looks at who got who and then something caught his eye. A letter sent for him.

Mr. H Potter

He also sees one for Draco. This is a surprise for both of them. He went back to Draco and Malfoy at the lounge. He hands those letters addressed personally to Bellatrix then hands Draco his own letter.

"Oh. You both got letters? Who are they from?" Bellatrix asked
"I don't know. I think there's something on the back." Harry explained

Draco hands it to Bellatrix and she then looked at the back of the envelope see what looks like a crest to something special. She gasped at the sight of it.

"Aunt Bellatrix?" Draco called for her.
"Yes?" She spoke
"Are you alright? You froze when you saw that."
"I'm alright."

The boys took her word and they both open their letters with each of them have the same letter saying,

"Dear Mr. Potter (Mr. Malfoy),

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Harry looked puzzled at what he just read.

"But that doesn't make any sense. A school for witchcraft and Wizardry? There's no such thing. Is there?" Harry asked.

He gets no response from either one.

"I think it's time you tell him, Aunt Bellatrix." Draco said
"I think you're right." She admitted

Harry still looked puzzled.

"Harry, darling. Do you remember back at the zoo you saw the glass disappear then reappear?" Bellatrix asked the young boy.

He nodded.

"There's a reason it happened. What you said actually did happened. It was done by you." Bellatrix explained slowly.
"I made the glass vanished?"
"Yes. But it was not your fault. You have magic inside you as does Draco and myself."
"What are you saying, Aunt Bellatrix?" Harry asked

Draco takes her hand, and it gave her more courage and confidence to tell Harry the truth.

"Harry...you are a wizard." 

That news dropped a bomb on him.

"I'm...a what?"
"A wizard. As is Draco. You both were both born by wizards and witches who are graduates from that school you were both received your letters from. They will teach you how to use magic as well as help you control your magic since children who have them do not know how to control it at times."
"No. This must be a joke. I can't be a wizard." Harry spoke.
"She's not lying, Harry. It's the truth. She told me to keep that information away from you when the time was right. And since we both received the letters, it seemed like the good time." Draco said.
"How? I mean, can you do magic, Aunt Bellatrix?" Harry asked.

Bellatrix then got up and went to pull out a long box, which then revealed to be holding a wand.

"Now, Harry. Know that I'm not allowed to do magic outside of the Wizarding World, but I will show you that I do have magic." Bellatrix explained
"Okay." Harry said

She points her wand at the oven and four little fireballs shoot out of it, and it ignited the oven. She then put her tea kettle over it and added inside it without using the faucet water. Harry was watching it in awed that his aunt is telling him the truth. She then put her wand away and sat back in her seat

"You see, darling. We are all magical here. But it doesn't make any of us different from one another."
"So, I can do magic like that?" Harry asked her.
"Yes, dear. You can do it as well as Draco. This place, Hogwarts, will help young wizards and witches how to use different kinds of magic. Not just saying magic words or what I did. But for good purposes." Bellatrix explained.

Harry is still reeling in what he was just told by his guardian. Draco went to Harry's side and patted his shoulder for support.

"Don't worry, Harry. I'll be with you all the way. We stick together." Draco assured him
"Thanks, Draco. I'm going need it while we're in school."
"No worries. We're family."

That made Bellatrix smiled.

"That's my boys. Now, we don't have a lot of time. We should go get your school supplies." Bellatrix informs them.
"And where we will get them? In London?" Harry asked Bellatrix.
"If you know where to go. I want you boys to go upstairs and get dressed. We leave in a couple of minutes."

Both boys rushed upstairs and went to change to go outside. Bellatrix felt more relieved that she has told Harry the truth about who he truly is. But then decided to send a message to someone via owl hoping they can help out with Harry.
