Harry has just received his Hogwarts acceptance letter. Harry's father, Professor Michael Verres-Evans, is arguing with Harry's mother, Petunia Evans-Verres, about the existence of magic. Petunia claims to have witnessed magic conducted by her sister Lily, but Michael is not convinced. Harry goes upstairs to write a response to Hogwarts, arguing about the existence of magic in his head. After completing the letter, he wonders about how he will send his response to Hogwarts, considering that he does not have an owl to send the response. He decides to exit the house and wave the letter in the air, yelling that he is sending the response to Hogwarts, so that an owl may take the letter. No owl comes. Instead, his next-door neighbor Mrs. Figg offers to send the letter herself. His experiment successful, Harry can only stand in shock at the utter improbability.
