Chapter 1
Nick Tyco woke up at the sound of his alarm it was 6:30am exactly 6 hours till he had to get on the train to Durmstrang at the Grand Trunk Railway. He lazily got out of bed to go get breakfast downstairs. His older sister Courtney who was a fourth year at Durmstrang was sitting at the table wide-awake and wearing a blue dress. The dress didn't go to well with here brown eyes and black hair. She looked very excited to go back to school. Of course Nick was also very excited about it since it will be his first year, but at the moment he felt like sleeping.
"How can you be wide-awake right now sis, it is 6:30 in the mornin." Nick said with a yawn.
" I am just so excited to go back and learn even more advanced spells. I hope to be a teacher someday so I want to know everything I can unlike you." Courtney said with a boasting tone.
Nick rubbed his eyes and grabbed two pieces of bread and dropped them in the toaster (he couldn't use magic yet). He moped over to the cupboard and grabbed a plate and a stick of butter from the refrigerator. He sat down and waited for the toast to be done. Just then their parents Ronald and Meg Tyco walked in the kitchen. They quickly magiced themselves some coffee just as Nick's toast was done.
"Can ya grab the toast for me." Nick said to his parents.
" You can get it yourself, you look like you need the exercise to wake you up." Ron and Meg said at the same time.
It wasn't that Nick was fat he was skinny and four foot seven just like any ten-year-old. Nick got up, grabbed the toast, smeared it with butter, and then devoured it. He got up and set his plate in the sink and walked up the stairs to get changed and check his trunk. He opened the door to his room that was completely decorated with posters of the Brazilian quidditch team, which was his favorite. He threw on a pair of dark blue jeans and a green long sleeve shirt that had a broomstick in the top left pocket. He put his Nike shoes on (some muggle shoe) and left for the bathroom. Nick flicked on the lights and started to comb down his messed up red hair. After working at it for a while he succeeded. His blue eyes shone brightly in the bathroom when the light bounced off them.
He left the bathroom to check his trunk. The first thing he looked for was his Barn Owl Sirus. Next Nick made sure he had his 3 pairs of green robes, one black cloak with fastenings, his books for all his classes, his copper cauldron, and most important his wand. Nick had a great wand for charms and hexes. It was thirteen inches long, stiff, and made of one phoenix feather, a single unicorn hair, and part of a hippogriph claw.
Everything was there he was ready to go even though he still had two hours before he would board the train. The train was only across the street so it would only take him two minutes to get there. So Nick decide to read from his Quidditch book that he got last year in which tells him great quidditch moves. The quidditch book had some of the greatest moves from the previous world cup between Russia and U.S.A. The U.S.A. had won by only ten points. Russia took a lead of 140 to nothing, but when the U.S. seeker found the snitch the match was over. One of the best moves in the book were the Fienstein dive were the seeker shoots straight up in the air when he sees the snitch down below him. Then the other one follows, after you go up high and enough you stop and go down and grab the snitch. The other seeker will shoot right by you then you will be able to get the snitch.
Nick set down his book and got up and picked up his trunk and dragged it down the stairs. There he met his parents who were going to help him take his trunk to the train to depart for Durmstrang.
"Ready to go?" his parents asked him.
"Yep I am, ready to learn some spells to use on sis." He said with and evil grin on his face.
His parents were about to open their mouths but Nick blurted out that he was just kiddin. The four of them left carrying their trunks out to the train to leave.
"Now don't you to cause any trouble there or you will be in for it at home!" his parents said seriously
"Don't worry we won't cause any trouble." said Nick winking his eyes
His parents looked at him coldly.
"Just kidding again." Nick said chuckling. "Bye c ya Christmas break, bye."
His mum brought up a handkerchief and blew her nose while waving good bye.
Nick sat alone in his compartment while his sister went off with her friends, he was hoping he would make at least one friend on the thirty-minute drive to Durmstrang. Just as Nick was thinking that a black haired blue eyed kid came and knocked on his compartment door. Nick opened the compartment to talk to the kid.
"May I site with ya." The kid asked with a kind of deep voice. ]
"Sure why not." Nick said "My name is Nick Tyco this is going to be my first year at Durmstrang, how bout you?" Nick said in one breath.
"My name is Thomas Exvarter, and this is also going to be my first year at Durmstrang, how exciting."
"Cool we might get in the same house, and our chances are pretty good because there is only three." Nick said in an exciting tone.
"Maybe." Tom said.
The rest of the ride they spent talking about their favorite quidditch player, and quidditch team.
Finally on an intercom a voice rang in saying they had arrived at Durmstrang. Also they were supposed to leave their trunks in the train because the professors would take them to the house they were in. Also the first years had to go in to the Great Hall line up to get sorted. Nick and Tom stepped out of the train totally transfixed at the vast castle. Their mouths wide open as other students joined up with them. They started up towards the castle still mouths wide open. They walked through the open door looking around and lined up for the sorting.
