Summer vacation had already started when Harry and Lily both were finally permitted to go out of they're cupboard, the later Instantly shouting "I'M FINALLY FREE" much to the irritation of Vernon.

On one sunny day probably a few days after Dudley bought his new uniform and thingy doodo, that also consists of a smelting stick which he bought everywhere including the dining table.

They suddenly heard the click of the mail slot and flop of letters on the doormat.

"Get the mail, Dudley," said Uncle Vernon who was reading the newspaper
"Make Harry or Lily get it."
"Get the mail, Harry."

"Make Dudley get it." Lily retorted
"Poke her with your Smelting stick, Dudley."
Dudley refuses to poke Lily and instead pokes Harry, which he dodges, and both of them went to get the mail.

Four things lay on the doormat: a postcard from Uncle Vernon's sister Marge, who was vacationing on the Isle of Wight, a brown envelope that looked like a bill, and -- a letter for Harry and Lily.
Harry picked it up and stared back to back with his sister confusion written all over they're faces. Who would send them letters? They had no friends, no other relatives. On the envelope was a simple writing

Mr. H. Potter
The Cupboard under the Stairs
4 Privet Drive
Little Whinging
Surrey

The same was written on Lily's letter which made them even more confused.

Ms. L. Potter
The Cupboard under the Stairs
4 Privet Drive
Little Whinging
Surrey

Who in actual heaven knows that they live in the cupboard under the stairs? 'Stalkerish much?'  Lily thought. The envelope was thick and heavy, made of yellowish parchment, and the address was written in emerald-green ink. There was no stamp. Turning the envelope over, his hand trembling, Harry saw a purple wax seal bearing a coat of arms which Lily recognizes as a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake surrounding a large letter H.

"Hurry up, boy!" shouted Uncle Vernon from the kitchen. "What are you doing, checking for letter bombs?" He chuckled at his own joke. Before Harry could walk towards the kitchen, Lily stopped him and shooked her head grabbing thr envelope and stuffing it inside of her clothing. Making sure it wasn't visible.

Harry gave her a pointed look which she replied by mouthing 'I'll tell you later' and proceeding to deliver the mail to they're large beefy uncle. Once done, she pulls her brother into they're small living space,  you can't even call it a living space in her opinion, and got the letter out of her clothes explaining why she hid the letter to him.

"Look, if they found out somebody sent us a letter the chances of the letter being ripped off from us before we could even read is likely a hundred percent." She explained while slowly opening the letters. Harry nodded at his sister, mentally thanking his luck for her genius brains.

Both Harry and Lily read the letter, slowly digesting it's content content.

"Is this some kind of joke?" Harry asked bewildered by the letter. "No I don't think this is a joke Harry" she pointed it with a serious tone

"But Lily, look Magic isn't real, for all we know this could be a prank that somebody or the Dursleys' planned" suddenly Lily slapped the back of Harry's head and stated "Think logically Harry, if this were truly a prank how would they know where we live? Our names? This could explain the weird things that has happened to us all these years. And by the way, for goodness sake no one but us knows we live under the stairs. It's bloody impossible if it were to be a prank Harry"

Harry pondered for a moment before asking his twin again "Alright let's say it is real. How'd we send a reply towards this Hogwarts place Lily??" She sighed and shrugged him off. "I don't know Harry" both of the twins looked at each other and sighed thinking of the possible possibilities.
