Chapter 12: Hogwarts

The train stopped had stopped and people had started to get off. Hermione and I were still having our one way conversation as we walked off the train, but something stopped her in her tracks.

"Look." She whispered. Pointing off into the distance. Then you could see it. I had been here multiple times before but the beautiful setting in front of me still blew me away.

The giant castle stood strong in the distance. It's huge arches and grand towers where something to see.

They had to start moving as the crowd started to push them forward and Hermione linked arms with her so they don't lose each other. Above all the heads you could see a giant mans head with a giant beard.

"Firs' years! Firs' years over hear with me!" He yelled. "Harry my boy how are you!" He yelled as they approached him. He grabbed Harry into a bone crushing hug.

"I'm fine thanks but your crushing me Hagrid." Harry gasped. Hagrid chuckled and turned.

"Follow me, got a real treat for you. Going across the lake to Hogwarts. Alright two to a boat. Come on now."
Hagrid yelled to our cluster of terrified first years. I stepped into a boat and Hermione was about to join me when another kid came toppling into the boat.

"Ah sorry sorry. I just tripped on my way in here. I'm Neville. Neville Longbottom." I smiled and noticed Hermione was still watching us.

Hermione spoke next. "Well that's Neville. This is Rose. Rose cannot speak. Have fun you too." Then she took off with a smirk. I glared.

"Oh that's incredible! I mean not in a good way but how do you do it? Sometimes people tell me I need to be more quiet but I couldn't even imagine not being able to talk. Wow. Wow wow." Neville kept talking and talking but I just rolled my eyes and smiled. He was sure a fun character.

The boats suddenly lurched forward as we started towards the castle. Neville was leaning over the boat to get a glimpse of it.

"I can't wait to see inside and start classes and dorms. My gran says I need to make friends and focus on my studies when I get in and- WAAAA!" I jumped up in shock as Neville slipped over the side of the boat. The boat rocked from both our sudden movements and tipped all the way over so I fell into the icy water as well.

I float my self out of the water enough to climb into the boat but not show my strange power to everyone. Hagrid turned our boat over and pulled a shivering Neville back into it. He looked at me scared as if I was going to be mad.

Instead I smiled. I started laughing fits of silent giggles poured out of me. Neville started laughing too. We are laughing so hard we can't even breath as we slowly glide to the doors of the castle.

Goodness this is going to be a long year.
