Harry Potter Adventures Book 1: The Philosopher's Stone

Prologue

The evening breeze made me shiver. The darkness made me frightened. And a dark silhouette of a man is in front of me. It was a like I am in a dark and desolate world that night. I saw the silhouette move unto me and I can't move. I am stuck in my bed, paralyzed, and thinking I was gonna be killed by the silhouette, then, I let out a scream.

Then I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling a little relieved. It was just a nightmare. But I still feel the silhouette is still following me with my every movements. It's just your imagination, I thought. I went back to my bed and relaxed but, I feel a little uneasy. Maybe because of the nightmare. My sweat is dripping. But then, I drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up and I stretched my body. I cleaned my bed then I went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and I washed my face. I heard footsteps and I knew it's my mom. I opened the door for her and she said, "John, honey, come down now. We're all ready for breakfast." then she smiled. I nodded and she walked downstairs. I ran back to my room and I showered and changed my clothes. I ran downstairs and found all of them is already eating."Wow. Pancakes. My favorite." I gave mom a smile and she replied a smile too. "Sit down." dad said with a smile in his face too. I sat down with my stubborn and hyper brother, Joseph. Sometimes, people call us "The Two Js". I finished my breakfast then I got ready for school. We all said goodbyes then dad locked the door then the gate.

After school, dad picked me up. When we got in home, I lied down my bag then I went up my room and got undressed. I changed my school uniform into home clothes. I ran down downstairs and I sat down at the couch and played with Joseph. Then we had dinner at 7:00, then we talked about how our day was, I took a bath and got ready for bed. I remembered it's Friday. Finally! my mind said because I can rest tomorrow because tomorrow is Saturday. I managed a smile but I declined the action because I'll look like a crazy person. I'm afraid I'm gonna dream about that nightmare again but, fortunately, I didn't. I feel like it's going to be a great night for me to rest.

I woke up with a smile. I did the same routine again. I feel like it's going to be a great day. Everyone, including me, is happy. I feel like this is the luckiest day of my life. In the afternoon, I played with stubborn Joseph. We had a delightful dinner. And in the night, I slept with a happy thought. In my dream, I'm seeing myself and my family having happy moments.

I woke up again. But this time I don't have that kind of aura that makes me happy , but then, my family has a smile in their faces. I felt like something's coming. Something great and surprising. In our breakfast, mom made sunny side eggs and some sandwiches. After a few minutes of chatting, activities, and playing with stubborn Joseph, we rested in the couch. Dad's having his coffee and reading his newspaper, mom's reading a cooking magazine, Joseph's playing with his gameboy, and me, I'm doing nothing. I'm just watching Joseph playing his gameboy. I got bored so I went to my room but the doorbell rang. I opened the door but no one is in there. I looked down in the doorstep and I saw a letter. It was a little different but then I picked it up. I  got the house bill and I gave it to dad. I opened my letter and it said:

Dear Mr. Meyer,

Dad interrupted me while I'm reading.
"What's that son?"
"I don't know dad. It says that I'm accepted in Hogwarts School of Wizard and Wizardry. Dad, did you enroll me on a magic school? I don't have time for that dad, you know that."
"I didn't enroll you on anything John. But there's one thing you need to know."
"What?"
"You're a wizard John. I know it's unbelievable but do you know why weird things happen to you? It's because you are a magical creature."
