The next morning Jackson woke up and got ready for his journey to Hogwarts, but he then realized he forgot something. "Mum, dad, I..i just remembered I forgot to get a pet!" Jackson yelled.
"Don't worry son, we got you covered" said Steve. Steve had mentioned that he went back to Diagon Alley over night but didn't mention what he got. Steve then gave his son the owl that he bought him.
"Thanks Dad" said Jackson
About a querter past ten, they left the house and went to the nearby lake to get to the Portkey.
Portkeys as of late had become a common way to get into the platform. That way, muggles would not risk seeing wizardkind running into the platform.
A few others were already there. The portkey was soon activated and they had reached the platform 9 and three quarters.
The family then made their way to the train.
After a moment of emotion, Steve and Alena said goodbye to Sarah and Luther. Before letting Jackson go however, Steve and Alena stopped him.
"Remember, behave or we will send you a howler" they both said
"I know" said Jackson
"Owl us when you get there" said Steve
"I will" said Jackson
"Good luck son, we'll miss you" said Alena
After waving goodbye, Jackson hoped on the train.
Jackson went to the nearest booth when he saw a brown haired kid in there. Jackson decided to go in this booth and introduced himself.
"first year as well?" asked Jackson
The boy nodded his head.
A moment later, the train started and begin to move, Jackson and the boy waved to their families as they grew smaller until they disappeared from view.
"What your name?" asked Jackson.
"Jeremy. Jeremy Winthrop is my name and what would yours be?" asked Jeremy
"names Jackson..Jackson Haddad". said Jackson
Both of them talked for a few minutes about themselves and about their families. Jeremy was the son of Herbert and Stephanie Winthrop and was an only child.
They soon got sweets from the trolly lady and ate for a while. They then continued talking as the afternoon went on.
Eventually they got to Hogwarts

They took the boats to the castle and were lead into a great hall where Headmaster professor Graham sat in the middle.
After introduction, the sorting ceremony began
Proffessor Michael Gibbens who taught defense against the dark arts was responsible for the sorting hat ceremony. The sorting ceremony went from each student. Eventually he put the hat on Jackson
"Ravenclaw"
Jeremy was also put in Ravenclaw
"Just a important annoucement" said Headmaster Graham. Professor Longbottem has recently announced his retirement from teaching after 60 years of teaching. We would like to thank him for his many years of service". said the Headmaster. Neville Longbottem sat at the edge of the table and everyone clapped. "Now Dig in" said Headmaster Graham.
