How do I fix my border to wrap around my text in the center?

My border keeps stretching whenever I center the text in the middle. I want the border to be just around the text not around the whole middle area.

Here is my code:

#EnterHouse {
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: x-large;
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 0;
  margin-bottom: 25px;
  overflow: hidden;
  border: 10px solid black;
  background-color: black;
  display: inline-block;
}

#EnterHouse {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
}

#EnterHouse a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: orange;
}

#EnterHouse a:hover {
  color: red;
<body>
  <div id="IKWYDLH">Example</div>
  <div id="EnterHouse"><a href="Index.html">Hello World</div></a>
</body>

You can nest the text in a span. Remove the border from #EnterHouse and use padding to give it some extra height. Then just set the border on the span element.

#EnterHouse {
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: x-large;
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 0;
  margin-bottom: 25px;
  overflow: hidden;
  padding: 10px;
  background-color: black;
  display: inline-block;
}

#EnterHouse {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
}

#EnterHouse a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: orange;
}

#EnterHouse a:hover {
  color: red;
}

span {
  border: 1px solid red;
}
<body>
  <div id="IKWYDLH">Example</div>
  <div id="EnterHouse"><a href="Index.html"><span>Hello World</span></a></div>
</body>

Only use floats and absolutes if you really have to. For this, change the display to table and add margin: 0 auto

#EnterHouse {
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: x-large;
  margin-bottom: 25px;
  overflow: hidden;
  border: 10px solid black;
  background-color: black;
  display: table;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#EnterHouse a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: orange;
}

#EnterHouse a:hover {
  color: red;
<body>
  <div id="IKWYDLH">Example</div>
  <div id="EnterHouse"><a href="Index.html">Hello World</a></div>
</body>
