"Harry... Harry wake up!"
Harry opened his eyes to see his mother staring down at him with a hand on her hip. "Five more minutes..." he groaned as he turned over, using the pillow to cover his head.
"Accio."
Harry groaned as the pillow whisked away from his grasp and into his mom's hand. Why did he have to be the son of one of the most gifted witches?
It just wasn't fair...
Harry sat up as he stared grumpily into his mom's bright green eyes. He sighed as he saw a mischievous grin on her face.
"Lily! Is Harry awake now?" Harry heard his father shout from down the hall.
"Unfortunately," Harry said, crossing his arms.
"Today's a very important day, young man," Lily said as she pulled Harry's arm. "Most wizards and witches dream for this day. Some of them don't even get to have it."
"What... my birthday?" Harry said.
"Your 11th birthday," Lily said.
Harry's eyes widened. "Wait... you don't mean..."
Lily smiled as she handed an envelope to Harry.
Mr H. Potter
The bedroom on the right side, Potter Cottage,
Godric's Hollow, West Country,
England, Great Britain
Harry beamed with excitement. He had completely forgotten it was his 11th birthday. Time had flown by so quickly. He immediately tore open the envelope as he unfolded the letter taking in everything.

Harry flipped to the back which seemed longer than the front, though he didn't question the logic as magic was always doing weird things to perspectives.
