The Book of Seals to the Magical World

Six-year-old Harry Potter glanced around in amazement. For the first time in his life, he had just entered a bookshop. It was a small bookshop on a side street, and his aunt merely dragged Dudley and Harry into the shop to look for a guidebook about Majorca, where the three Dursleys were going to spend their winter holidays.

While Petunia was eagerly checking the 'Travel' section and Dudley was disinterestedly standing in a corner, sucking his thumb, Harry skimmed the shelf in front of him with interest.

'The Book of Seals to the Magical World,' he read in disbelief. 'I thought there was no such thing as magic.' Before he even realized what he was doing, his hands began to act on their own accord and pulled the old tome off of the shelf, noticing that it was quite heavy. 'Oh, this book is absolutely beautiful,' Harry mused at the sight of the old, copperplate book cover that was decorated with an ancient design. The background was green, and golden symbols decorated the four corners. 'They're all different. I wonder if they have any meaning,' Harry mused as he tried to figure out what the animals were that were playing in the middle of the front cover. 'Wait,' he thought in disbelief, 'they're moving!'

Completely forgetting his surroundings, Harry hesitantly opened the interesting book. However, the first page was written in some kind of old letters, which Harry couldn't read. 'Strange,' he thought and carefully turned the pages until he came to a page, on which he saw a drawing. 'I wonder if that moves as well,' he mused and hesitantly moved his small thumb over the picture.

Before he could realise what was happening, a small whirlwind began whipping gently around him. It became stronger and stronger, and Harry couldn't see anything, until it calmed down again. He curiously looked around, noticing that the bookshop, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley were gone. Instead, he found himself just in front of the exact scenery the drawing in the book showed.
