2) A Small Concern
Today was THE day: September 1 and Artemis was on his way to Hogwarts
"Artemis we're nearing, you better pack up" Butler warned.
Butler and Artemis were in the shuttle and after much digging of dirt Artemis had found out Hogwarts' location and told Juliet to drive them there directly, due to a small concern.
Artemis packed up the iBook which he was researching on: about Hogwarts and belted in as Juliet smoothly bought the plane to a safe landing.
Artemis and Butler walked out and came to a stop at a huge grill gate surrounded by two boar pillars.
Artemis tapped once on the gates which opened up to reveal a huge walkway.
Artemis and Butler walked down the walkway and reached the actual door itself.
Even huger than the Fowl Manor this building could only be described as a castle, complete with spiked gateways, pristine gardens, huge court, a magnificent lake, a gloomy forest, mountains surrounding the lake, fabulous greenhouses, and to top it four roof topped towers, one of which was hoarded with owls.
Artemis and Butler walked over to the spiked door and knocked on it, its knock resounding like a gunshot in the complete and utter silence.
Slowly it tilted on its hinges and there stood a hunched old man with a beak like nose and very small but sharp eyes. By his general unkempt look, his paper white skin and deep folds in his skin he looked about a century old.
"We're here to meet the head master" Artemis spoke up.
"This is not what you think it is, this is not a school" said the old man.
"Well surprising since just the other day I got a letter saying that I was enrolled to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" Artemis replied dryly.
"Well well, we'll see, come in and if I found that you've been lying first I will grill you then I will hang you, after that I will take the personal comfort of watching you drown, and finally I will wipe your mind" the old man cackled.
"Only if you survive me first though" Butler replied threateningly a low growl edge to his voice.
The old man ignored this warning and merely said "Follow".
After many twists and staircases and passages with seemingly never ending ends, with doors that vanished and windows that ran they arrived at a statue that looked like some bizarre combination of a lion and an eagle.
The old man knocked on it once and the creature just woke up!
It stretched itself and then open its mouth.
Artemis could distinctly hear it yawn and then it asked "Password?"
The old man blabbered something that sounded like "Cheesewater Jelly"
The creature slowly rotated to reveal a wooden staircase onto which the old man stepped and gestured for them to climb upon.
As soon as they stepped upon the wooden platform the staircase started rotating till it came level to a door with deeply set ruts in it.
The door swung open and the three stepped in.
Well so that's it for now.
As I said all the twists start from the next chpter.
Like to guess what the "small concern" is?
