Later on, as we walked back to the hotel, the next day, after we already stopped and got our potions kits, cauldrons, gloves, quills, and parchment. I still could not get this mystery man out of my mind. I decided to tell the girls. Liv's first thought was that it was Harry Potter. "It can't be Liv." I explained.

"Why not?" she protested.

"One, he was Mexican or something. Two, his scar was on is eyebrow and not in the shape of a lightning bolt. Three, he was really tall, isn't Harry short? Last four, he had brown/gray eyes not green."

"Oh, well, so he was hot?" she recovered.

"Well, ya. I think he is a student because he told me he would see me at school. Maybe I will just never see him again. Oh well." I said thinking about going to Hogwarts. It's like a dream; something you can't truly do. "Hey think about it; we are going to Hogwarts tomorrow. How cool is that?"

"Actually 8hrs. 27min. to be exact." Sami mentioned.

"Well I feel we should all get a good nights rest then. I say everyone in bed in half an hour. That gives Sami and myself a few min. to take showers. You two can take them tomorrow morning. I will set the alarm for 6:00am. Everyone okay with that?" Liv is on the ball tonight; well, except for the mystery man thing.

"Sounds good to me. I will go say good night to Kevee. See you in a few." Amanda rushed out of the room.

"Sure, I get the shower first." Sami ran for the bathroom.

"Well, I'm okay with it but I think I will get a cup of hot tea before I hit the sack." I said as I walked to the door. "Your want something Liv?"

"No, I'm good. See you before bed time." She replied.

On my way down the stairs I almost fell over an orange cat that ran under my feet. A girl with bushy brown hair ran after it calling, "Come here Crookshanks, come to mommy." The name of the cat makes me think for a moment. For some strange reason I feel that I just saw Hermonie Granger, from the Harry Potter books……yeah right, and I can breath under water and fly.

The next morning we all met up for breakfast before heading out to school for the first time .we all had a great big meal. After which we sat around the fireplace waiting for Dumbledore to arrive.

I sat in a large bean bag in front of the fireplace. I stared at the memorizing flames move up and down. I noted that everyone was silent, probably thinking about school, friends, family, or what not. I was thinking of how much my life has changed already. How much more will it change?

Our silence came to an end when someone yelled, "Harry, is Crookshanks down there with you?" I could just see Liv's expression of excitement, but she was thinking it could be just someone else. That changed when the guy yelled back, "No Hermonie." Liv snapped her head around so fast and started looking around frantically.

She slowed down when Dumbledore arrived, but did not stop looking. Dumbledore told us to go get all our stuff to leave for the train. "Because it will be a fun experience to ride the train: plus you may meet new people."

As we started to leave to get our things Dumbledore asked me to stay for a moment. "Yes Professor?" I asked.

"Miss Schumann, I have observed that you don't look like your "usual" self today. I was wondering if you have visited your parents vault? The vault that the key around your neck belongs to." Dumbledore never misses a step (well at least according to the Harry Potter books.)

"Yes, I have Professor." I told him wondering if I should tell him more or does he already know?

"So, Miss Selven or Miss Schumann, which would you like to be known as? Also, Kati or Katheles?" He asked.

Well, I had not thought about that before now. "I would like to use my true name but have Kati as a nick name. You know short for Katheles. Is that alright?" I figured that would be good; I don't know, if people called me Katheles, would I answer them?

"Of course it is alright, Kati Selven. I shall present you as, Katheles or Kati Selven; how does that sound?" He asked. It seems like he is really trying not to offend me by calling me the wrong name.

"That is perfect, Professor." I answered happily; yet I wonder what my adoptive parents would think about that change?

"Thank you for clearing that up for me. You can go get your things." He said reliving me of being in his presence alone.
