The unexpected feeling of being forcibly pulled from one place to another by the portkey was almost unbearable. After only a few seconds both Danny and Valarie where knocked onto a cold stone floor. Gasping, Valarie started getting up. "Please tell me we don't have to do that again."
Brushing himself off, Danny was about to answer her, when his ghost sense went off.
He looked over to the door, just in time to see a ghost faze into the room. "You're here!" The ghost pointed out excitedly. "It's truly an honor to meet you." The ghost said excitedly, trying to shake Danny's hand, but having trouble because he was human at the moment. "I am Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, please, if you don't mind, call me Sir Nicholas." He told them, starting to feel slightly timid.
"I'm honored to be invited, Sir Nicholas." Danny told him truthfully. Valarie nodded in agreement. "Yes, thank you for inviting me as well."
"If you don't mind me asking, how did you convince them to let Valarie come as well?" Danny asked, that question had been bugging him for a while. Sir Nicholas just smiled. "That was easy; it's because of her consent contact with ghosts. Ghosts count as magic creatures, so she already knows enough to be allowed to learn more."
Valarie smiled. "That's so awesome." She was looking at the few items in the room with them. Mostly textbooks filled the room, but there were also cloaks lying around, cauldrons of various shapes and sizes, and many types of potions. A fine layer of dust was covering everything. Valarie picked up one of the books and quickly scanned through it, the images alone in 'Asiatic Anti-Venoms' were enough to keep her attention.
Nick could only smile at the girl's enthusiasm. "You two will be staying in this tower during your time at Hogwarts, there's a large living area on the top floor." He explained. "Ah, and Sir Phantom, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore, wanted to meet you, If you would please follow me." Nick started to float off, but was stopped by Valarie.
"Wait, what am I supposed to do while you two go off and have this magical adventure?" She questioned, the idea of being left alone in the tower wasn't very pleasant. Nick only laughed. "Oh yes, just wear one of the school uniforms, they will permit you to wander around the castle without much problem." Valarie picked up one of the cloaks Nick was gesturing to. "What's with the different colors?"
"Those are cloaks from the four different houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. I would suggest that you keep with the same color, though all the Professors at the school know you're here, the students do not." Nick explained happily. "If a student asks who you are, tell them you're an exchange student from the Salem Witches' Institute." With that Nick flew out of the room.
Danny quickly changed into phantom, following after him. "Have fun." He said, his own excitement showing. After the two left Valarie turned back to the cloaks, picking up one with a green trim she smiled. "This will be fun."
She slipped one of the uniforms that matched the cloak she grabbed and ran out the door, excited to start exploring.
First off... I know this is really really short, but I was having idea problems.
I had all these awesome and amazing ideas, but none of those ideas looked good on the page.
So, I decided to just throw this out as a short chapter. Hope you guys like it. :3
