Chapter 1
Call to Adventure
Mystified by what he just saw, Robert Jones tried to think a reasonable explanation for this madness. Although Richard Feynman clearly stated that a phenomenon called 'tunneling' could occur, but the probability certainly wasn't as high as this.
Giving up all of his sanity, he asked a slender, quite tall boy wearing a pair of glasses about where the boy was going.
"Well, hello there young gentleman, may I ask you where you are going?"
"I'm going to a school."
"No, no, no, where exactly are you going? What school are you going now?"
"I'm going to Hog–no, that isn't right…"
"I've already lost my sanity, I think. I saw a bunch of people disappearing into a pillar. Now, honestly, can you tell me where you are going?" Robert asked, realizing that he had no sanity to lose.
"To…Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The train leaves in ten minutes."
"Could it be…no, it isn't possible…"
"What isn't possible?"
"Can you take me there?"
"No, no, no, of course not. We have magical disguises there."
"Well, farewell, for now, but I think that we might get along with each other–"
"And for now, let's say that I am Harry Potter."
"Robert Jones. Nice to meet you."
"And perhaps you have abandoned your prejudice?"
"It was a fact to me." He said in protest.
"Well, then see you at here, about 6 months later."
It was about 5 seconds later that Robert was shouting "Aha!"
Yes, he had a plan; a secret plan that would enable him to go to that wondrous world of so-called magicians(or wizards?). According to Harry, it was ten minutes before the departure of Hogwarts Express. He was already inside the magical barrier, he only had to enter the platform, yes, enter the platform before the guards saw him, and witness the grand magical realm of Hogwarts and beyond.
Robert was already a master at the art of stealth and concealment without Harry's invisibility cloak. Slender and having average height, he was the top guy when it came to stealth. He had a generally decent head, particularly exceling at science, math and logical thinking. Always the man at speed, Robert Jones was built for mischief.
A split seconds distraction was enough for Robert. He slipped off to the secret platform while the guard dosed off. Robert's jaw dropped.
Steam churned from a black locomotive's chimney; loads of people were sending their kids to the train. How glorious was the sight of kids in robes, magic in their trolleys. He slipped off to the roof, never noticed by any of the crowd. Flat on his chest, Robert breathed silently. No mistake would be allowed. This was his first and final chance to know another world, to be involved in a completely different type of life and truth.
Awe filled his chest and ears. The steam, the vibration, everything was wonderful. The simple truth could have been the most blissful moment in his life. This was magic. And behold, the Hogwarts Express was chugging along the rail, and the forbidden part of the world unfolded before his eyes. Mischief in his hands, Robert couldn't hide his smile. Adventure called him.
Author's note: I am very sad to say that the upload rate will be very slow, as I am a student and am doing this for a simple hobby. I am working very hard on the second chapter, which will be quite long because(spoilers!) middle-earth is coming along! Will Robert adjust to his new environment? The second chapter would surely tell us.
