Chapter 2: Piedmont, California
Dipper and Mabel Pines were excited as ever to go back to school which started in just a few weeks. They were packing up their trunks stuffing in their spellbooks and everything else they would need. Seeing that they lived in USA and they needed to be in London, to catch The Hogwarts Express on platform nine and three quarters, they had to board a flight one day earlier. The twins had found out last year that they possessed magic in them and were accepted a place in Hogwarts, they were enthralled to join.
Well at least, Mabel was. Dipper however was quite reluctant at first to leave his roots but went and eventually got used to the school with it's large history. The Sorting hat had put them into different houses much to their disappointment. Mabel ended up in Gryffindor while Dipper was put in Slytherin. While Dipper wasn't much good at magic either and poured over stacks of spellbooks to improve his magic, Mabel on the other hand was a talented natural with her favourite subject being Transfiguration to try out goofy looks. But regardless of their differences they both enjoyed Care of Magical creatures and managed to tame Hagrid's thestrals and become friends with Buckbeak quite easily with their knowledge of monsters. Both of them picked up some new friends along the way with Dipper picking up less than Mabel. By afternoon the twins were packed and ready, carrying bulky trunks filled to the brim.
Once they had reached Diagon Alley, Mabel and Dipper met up with their friends. Their parents got them their new books while when Dipper read through them quickly, Mabel jovially went to talk with her BFF's in Hogwarts who Dipper mostly found mildly annoying but tolerable. After an unbearably long conversation with Mabel's friends who shrieked at almost everything, Dipper secluded himself to a nice corner with his transfiguration book.
Eventually the train arrived and everyone began boarding it. As the train let a loud whistle their adventure began.
