Toby was just a young lad of 12 when he got the letter. It was read by his sister and caretaker, Sarah. After the mysterious absence of their mother (stepmother for Sarah) and father, the children were forced to live in the now destitute house of their parents, like Ponyboy.
"Hogwarts!?" exclaimed Sarah, "This must be some sort of joke!" She threw the letter away without giving it a second thought. In the middle of the night, Sarah heard footsteps through the hole in the floor in the upstairs bedroom.
"YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR A WIIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEERERRRRRDDDDDDDD, TOOOOBBBYYYYYYY!!!!!" called a booming voice. The sheer intensity collapsed the top floor to the bottom, taking Sarah and Toby, who were in the bathtub with it.
"Oy, serry erbout dat. Lemme introduces myself. I am Rubeus Hagrid, and I've come to tell ya yer a wizzerd, Toby. I'm gonna take ye off ta Hogwarts." Said Hagrid as he elaborated.
"Can I go? Pleeeaaaaase let me go Sarah." pleaded Toby.
"Yes I suppose." replied Sarah.
"Then we bitter be off!" Hagrid said as he left with Toby.
A wave of anxiety and fear hit Sarah in the bathtub. Suppressed memories came back to her that made her regret her decision. She wanted to get Toby back, but her body shut down as she lie in the bathtub.
