Chapter Four
A/N: Thank you so much for all those awesome reviews. I finally figured out my format problem, so only chp. 1 and 2 should be all weird. I'm really glad people like my story, and I hope they keep reading! Here is chp. 4!
On the Train to Hogwarts…"I am really, really excited about this! I can't wait to see what awesome things that wizards and witches have made!" Violet said, fixing the ribbon in her hair. Ginny had let her have it, since she didn't have one anymore.
"Me! Me!" Sunny shrieked happily. It meant something like, "Me, too! Me, too!"
"To think, I never even believed in magic." Klaus said, looking up from a long book briefly. Harry smiled.
"Yea. I was really surprised when I found out I was a wizard." Harry said, thinking about the day he had met Hagrid, and got his first letter to go to Hogwarts. He had memorized the first line…
Dear Mr. Potter, we're pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts school for Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Harry could only remember the look on his face when he read that first line. He was slightly depressed now, though, because he realized that it would be his last year at Hogwarts.
"It's really depressing, being our last year." Hermione was telling Violet, Klaus and Sunny. "I love Hogwarts; just one more year would be great. But, no. So I'll have to just get used to it."
"How old were you when you came to Hogwarts?" Violet asked.
"11." Ron answered, his mouth full of chocolate frog that he had brought with him.
"So, you were 11 when you started doing magic? Doesn't that seem a bit young?" Klaus asked. Harry, Hermione, and Ron nodded.
"Actually, Harry and Hermione were doing magic before they came." Ron said, pulling a small bag of candy from his trunk.
"Welyop?" Sunny asked, which meant something along the lines of, "What kind of magic did you do?"
"She means, what kind of magic did you do?" Klaus said.
"Well, I accidentally set a Python loose on my cousin, Dudley." Harry said, laughing slightly at the memory of his cousin screaming from inside a glass tank.
"I did really simple spells, but see, they all worked for me." Hermione said. The Baudelaire's chuckled.
"It was hard for me to do magic for some reason; I got better in my second year though." Ron said, shoving some live gummy-worms into his mouth.
"Ronald, must you talk with your mouth full?" Hermione asked shrewdly. Ron nodded, making everyone laugh.
Harry could see Hogwarts coming into view. It wasn't far away, now. "LOOK!" He yelled, and Violet, Klaus and Sunny huddled around they window just as Hogwarts came fully into view. The three orphans looked at it, mouths' gaping.
"It, is, beautiful." Violet said.
"Biggy." Sunny said. She was pointing to a large man waiting at the station by Hogwarts.
"Is that Mr. Hagrid?" Klaus asked nervously.
"Yes. I told you he was big." Harry said, smiling.
"Yeah." Sunny said. It meant something like, "No kidding."
They all stepped off the train. Hagrid was doing his normal, start of year routine, by yelling, "FIRST YEARS! FIRST YEARS OVER HERE!"
"Hi, Hagrid." Harry said, walking up to him.
"Harry! Hermione, Ron! So good to see 'yer all! Ahh, and who do we have 'ere?" Hagrid asked looking down at the Baudelaire's.
"Hagrid, this is Sunny, Klaus, and Violet Baudelaire. Violet, Klaus, Sunny, this is Hagrid. Rubeus Hagrid." Harry said.
"Nice 'ter meet you!" Hagrid said cheerfully. He shook hands with Violet, then Klaus, then gave Sunny a nice pat on the head.
"What's got you so happy? Last year you were a sad sack, Hagrid." Ron asked, just finishing his last chocolate frog.
"You'll see." Hagrid answered. "Sorry, I got 'ter be going, got to take the first years." Hagrid said. He waved good-bye, then waddled off.
"Nice guy. I like him." Violet said. They then began to walk up to the carriages.
A/N: I know this chp. Was short, too. But, don't worry, they'll get longer!
