Nikolai

Hanging in his grandfathers house was not Nikolai`s idea of fun, hanging out with his muggle family always seemed to be tremendously boring, making him feel like he would doze off any second now, he tried to hide his face in his last-year charms book because they were looking for someone to take care of his younger cousin Rick who was hyperactive and could get his hands on a cookie jar faster than you could say "stop", but typically, they chose him.

He stared down at Rick, there was something in Nikolai`s deep blue, almost like the Cheshire Cat`s, eyes that always calmed cousin down, so he stared until Rick fell sleep and yet again set his eyes on his book, he was trying to review the charms he had seen last year, by the way Nikolai is a wizard, but no one really did care about it, they still pretended he was normal, which really annoyed him, he had been an exceptional child, he had been extremely smart and had won almost every brain-related contest they ever set him up for, but no, his other brother took almost all the attention, his brother had been exceptional in other ways that today are more appreciated, Nikolai`s brother was an exceptional sportsman, he always got all the attention, even when his Hogwarts letter had arrived, Nikolai`s brother had won a bike race and he had to wait until the next day to tell them and they didn`t seem that excited about it either, they had sent him to buy his stuff at Diagon Alley alone because his brother had a tennis tournament-

Nikolai spent the rest of that particularly boring evening sited in the sofa trying to keep himself away from the conversation about how great his brother was, Just this evening he thought and I'm going back to Hogwarts, No more standing this boring life, well at least until the term ends.

Finally he thought I`m finally out of that house, he was reaching Kings Cross Station, and he was walking thru platform 4 and 5 when he heard a screaming voice "Nikolai!" "Nikolai!" he turned around and saw one of his best friends, he stopped walking and waited till he reached him, "Hey Damian, how are you doing?" "Awesome, you?" "Bored, absolutely and completely bored" "Well not for much longer", We started walking towards Platform 9-10, when we finally reached it we started to push our carts, aiming for the wall between the platforms, when, before crashing we went thru the wall and we saw the always - sight of the big red engine of the Hogwarts Express.
