disclaimer: supernatural and hogwarts does not belong to me, enjoy!~

Our story begins in a very sunny day; well it is the middle of summer, 1st of August to be specific.

And it wasn't just any regular day for our Novak family; actually it was a very exciting day! It was the day when everyone got important letters from their school which changed their lives forever.

But the most important letter got the youngest among the brothers, because this year he was in the age of 11 which means he got the letter his family was so relived he got- his acceptance letter to Hogwarts.

"I got it! I got it! G-Gabriel I got it!" our little angel beams with joy as he shows his older brother his acceptance letter. "I knew it kiddo, told you Lucy was just a big meanie head." "Hey! Stop calling me that!" Gabriel chuckled at that "not happening" he responded as usual.

It was that moment when Michael had entered the kitchen and the air become stiff it was only the smallest who dares to say "Michael I got the letter…" in a voice so small it was almost a whisper, and yet it was heard over the sound of the breeze entering the house through the windows.

Michael didn't say anything, calmly putting food in his plate and sitting at the table without giving any attention to the young wizard. Castiel never really expected him to really answer or pay attention truly; he hoped a bit somewhere in his heart that in the moment he'll get the letter his brother will finally accept him, be proud of him but as much as he was hoping he was still connected to real life, and he knew it won't happen.

"Listen here now-" Lucifer had started to say, but he stops the moment Castiel grabs his arm and shakes his head, sad blue eyes visible behind large thick glasses looking right into his soul in a way of saying 'don't bother'.

Gabriel's heart almost breaks that moment.

(0A0)~*~**~***

Diagon alley; the place you can find the shops in which you can buy everything for a new school year in the magical world. And our Novak family has just arrived there.

Dusting his clothes and body Castiel looks everywhere in a silent excitement, he never have been there and it is so amazing! He saw a small family of 4 wizards and to their right there was a kid with what seems like muggle parents and their clothes were so interesting! The father wore a black shirt and had a really funny black hat on his head and he had some kind of strange smoking stick in his mouth, was that supposed to be like a pipe?- "Castiel are you even listening to me?" Michael snarls at him. Oh if looks could just kill… "Oh, sorry I was just-" "no 'just'! it is strictly important for you to listen! I swear you got that letter just to be a house elf in the name of Merlin... Don't you cause any trouble I know you and you're just going to get into trouble I will have to deal with, so stay quiet and try not to be seen by anyone." As his words got out of his mouth Castiel was nearly in tears while Gabriel held back Lucifer and Balthazar from punching Michael and causing a scene.

"Wow you are an asshole aren't you?" a voice came from behind Castiel which made all eyes turn to a small kid with a small frame and a nose you cannot ignore. Dark blue eyes glared right into Michael's. He was the kid of the Muggle family I looked at! Castiel suddenly realizes.

"And who are you?" Michael asks pointedly to which the guy grins wildly "this guy's new friend so if you mess with what'shisname you mess with me." The kid says as he pulls Castiel away from his amused brothers and a very mad Michael.

"As much as I thank you for your kind help it was not necessary as he is my-" "no problem, I know how is it to be bullied by assholes even though he's your brother as it clearly seems he's an asshole and you needed help, you're crying, see?" he says pointing at Cas' face before stating "I'm Garth, nice to meet ya." "Castiel." He says with a smile offering a hand.

Garth slaps the hand instead of shaking it which surprises the young wizard "I like highfives better, so next time hold your hand up." He says with a grin still on his face, Castiel nods.

***~**~*~(0_0)

Cas was pretty happy Gabriel had given him coins before they got out of the house so he could buy anything he needed for his first year, including books, a cat (they had enough owls as it is), a telescope and as a cauldron he'll just take the one Raphael used when he was in school. But he didn't buy everything just yet, the last thing on his list is a wand.

"oh! Finally this is over!" Garth says with a sigh- as much as this all excites him he wasn't a very sportive guy and if he had to walk just one more step he'll have to kick someone for making this place so huge!

"well, it is not over we still have to get our wands" Castiel calmly stated. Garth has to kick someone now, it is his duty and he will not stop until his majestic mission is-"Ouch!" ouch? Garth wanders to see his new bestie on the floor under some dark blonde with Muggle clothes.

"Oh I am sorry I should've watched where I was going." Cas apologized as he hurried to arrange his stuff which got basically everywhere on the floor. "nah, it was my fault don't sweat it. I was lookin' somewhere else." The blonde says flashing a smile "you're also a first year?" he asks as he peeks on one of the books on the floor "yes." Castiel says unknowingly not leaving any room for a farther conversation.

"You're also burn to a non wiz parents?" Garth jumps at the opportunity to stop the blondie from staring at his new bestie's body "Oh, yea- I mean no- I mean… mom was a witch, dad has no magical bone in him." He says with a silly grin on his face. was a witch? What happened? Got kicked out of the magical world? Or it was something to do with the war? Cas wandered before a firm yet very familiar slap slams on his back with a loving painful way.

"So Cassie, got a wand yet or am I just in time?" Gabriel says with a chuckle while Cas fixes his glasses back into place and the blonde flickers his green eyes between the boy and his older brother. Understanding the boy will go soon he smiles "name's Dean Winchester, hope to see ya guys on the train." He says before he walks away with style looking for someone.

Castiel felt warm.

*~(030)~*

Walking out of the wand shop Castiel was holding a wand made of chestnut wood with a unicorn tail hair core, 13 1/3 inches, slightly bendy. Garth was holding a wand made of blackthorn wood with a kneazle whisker core, 11 inches, stiff.

As happy as the boys were, so was Gabriel, even though he was not much older, he felt nostalgic as he remembered how his wand chose him- it would've taken years to organize the store if there was no magic for it! But he felt proud of his wand- made of cypress wood with a phoenix feather core, 14 inches, quite rigid. Even though he is not so sure about the wood it was made of, cypress wands are associated with nobility also most of the wands' owners have died heroic death, and even though nowdays it is rare to die on a wand dual- it is scary thinking of early death heroic or no. also from the wand's choice, he was supposed to be brave, bold, self-sacrificing, unafraid to confront the shadows of his own and others' natures- but he was not as such, he was a coward and couldn't protect Castiel when Michael or any other person hurt him. He can't face his own fears and he gets away whenever there's a fight.

How can a guy like me is even worthy of this kind of wand? It should've been Garth who has got it; he faced a stranger without fear, to protect a guy he doesn't even know! He was- "oof" "huh?" he looks down to see a little guy who has bumped into him, probably 9 years old.

"Sorry." The kid mumbles quietly "Hey, it is okay kiddo, I haven't looked where I was going." I said ruffling his hair "I'm not a kid! I am almost old enough to be your father!" he says with a pout on his face. It made Gabriel chuckle "kiddo I am probably 4 years older from you how you can possibly be old enough to be my father?" the kid looks confused "that's what my brother tells me when I say he's just a kid…" the kid is so serious Gabe is getting a kick out of it, now laughing almost uncontrollably "oh jeez kid you're so funny!" the kid frowns and steps into the store to be with his dark blonde haired with green eyes.

"Gabriel are you coming? We need to go home soon." Castiel asks from a slight distance ahead "yeah!" he says with a smile big and honest on his face.

And when the summer will end and fall will be close, a new beginning waits for us all.

AN: this is the first spn fanfic I am writing, I wish I would update more unlike the story I have given up on before. I hope my English is correct and the words from Harry Potter are correct since English is my second language. I hope you have enjoyed the chapter and you will review what you feel about it.
