Taking On The Magical World

Chapter 15 - 15: Hogwarts Express

"Have a good semester at Hogwarts," my father says to me.

"Take care of yourself big brother at school, make sure to please come home during Christmas, and send letters when you are at Hogwarts," my sister says to me with pleading eyes.

"I know you will do very well, come here and give me a hug before you leave," my mother says, I give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Take care, I will make sure to write to you guys often," I say to my family as I pick get on the Hogwarts Express.

I am able to find a compartment that is empty and use the levitation spell to put my suitcase and owl cage with Hedwig inside on the empty rack and sit down.

I wave at my family that outside still and in the corner of my eye I catch the Weasely family coming through the wall.

I see Mr and Ms Weasley herding the kids on to the train. There is Bill who is a graduated from Hogwarts and now works at Gringotts as a Curse-Breaker who I got to know when I hanged out with the twins and if I there is one word to describe him as it would be 'cool' and he is the like the older brother you wish you had. Then there is Charlie who is a 6th year, who I have talked to about magical creatures and my greatest curiosity, the existence of XXXXXX magical creature. There is also Percy who is a 3rd year, he is the most hardworking in the family and the most ambitious and I can understand where he comes from, a poor family, but his mistake is that he thinks he is always right and that makes him look like he has a stick up his a.s.s. There are the twins who are really great mates and I cannot wait to see the look on their faces when they see me going to Hogwarts. Then there is Ron, who gets easily jealous of what others have, attention seeking and does not work for anything, expecting everything to be given to him. Finally, there is Ginny who I have a high opinion of, ever since I saw her defending my sister.

I make a final wave to my family and the train starts moving, soon two people came inside my compartment partially and before they could have a look at me ask "Is there room in here for two more?"

"Sure, there is more than enough room in here" I reply

The two people that spoke to me have a good look at me and are shocked.

"Is that you Caelum?" asks Fred

"In the flesh" I answer back with a wicked smile.

"But how, aren't you 10 years old?" says George.

"My mother was able to get me in early since she taught us a lot and I guess my reputation as a genius helped," I reply back smugly

"Wow, why did you tell us during the summer, we will be starting at Hogwarts at the same time?" asks Fred

"Weren't two folks acting all smug and superior during the summer, I wanted to see the looks on their faces," I answer back

"I guess we were acting a little smug" Fred says with an awkward laugh

I roll my eyes "You have been rubbing it in my face for weeks."

"Okay, okay we did take it too far," says George

"All is forgiven," I say in my most magnanimous tone

That gets a chuckle out of the twins and I help them with their cases by using a levitation spell to put it in the upper racks.

"You can do magic already," says Fred incredulity

"I have been studying spell theories for a long time now and this is just a basic spell you guys will be able to do it in weeks," I say

"Great I cannot wait to get started doing magic, our mother barely lets us read any," says Fred

George nods his head, "I am worried about which house we will be sorted into."

"Yeah, Gryffindor is good since mostly everyone in our family is in it, Ravenclaw is okay but I do not think we got enough book smart to be in it, if I get sorted into Hufflepuff I rather go home, and I think we will be disowned if we get sorted into Slytherin, you know dark wizard and stuff," says Fred

I nod my head, being in Slytherin would be horrible since the only alley I can make is Voldemort and he would see my talent as a risk, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are okay but it is not where the real plot happens.

At that moment a lady comes with a trolley, "Anything off the trolley, dears?" asks the trolley lady

The twins shake their heads, I guess they do not have any money.

I speak up, "Could I have a little bit of everything you have."

The trolley lady gives me all kinds of treats; like Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Bean, Cauldron Cakes, Chocolate Frogs, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Jelly Slugs, Liquorice wands, and Pumpkin Pasties. I share all of them with the twins and we continue our chat as the train speeds along to Hogwarts.

After a while, Charlie comes to our compartment as we are looking at the chocolate frog's cards we got. "There you are, we are nearly at Hogwarts so go put on your robes, you too Caelum, hurry we are almost there."

As we are hurriedly putting on our robes a voice comes over us "We will be arriving at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train, it will be taken to the school separately."

We finish putting on our robes at the moment the train slows down, and we finally stop at the train station.
