Chapter 12
To those going for their first year at Hogwarts the trip that was long and boring for many were exciting and amazing and they also learned more about their new friends and their new world.
They learned that their new friends' family was big and everyone really close with each other even though they had a big number of cousins, they never fought for very long.
Lily and the others bought almost everything in the cart so that they could try everything and while they loved some others weren't in their tastes.
They did enjoy spending time and talking to their new friend and they liked it even when their older siblings joined them for a short time to talk to them and answer a few questions they were always polite and never considered their question stupid no matter how dumb they actually were.
After a few hours on the train that passed faster than they should and the sky had darkened by the late hour.
They got off the train basically running but stopped when they saw the older students running towards a number of horseless carriages which they found it weird until they remembered that the horses were supposed to be invisible to most people.
"We have to wait for James Sirius here so no one move," said Lily looking around for her brother while the others nodded even if she didn't see them
"Kids." they heard the young man in question calling for them with a number of other children behind him.
"All right." he said" Everyone here?" he asked when he got nods from everyone he turned to the others" These are your other year mates all of us will be going to boats together."
Walking for a short distance towards the lake where a number of boats were located they saw a man He was about twice as tall as an average man, standing at eleven feet, six inches tall and three times as wide, with a long mane of shaggy black hair and a beard that covered most of his face. His hands were as big as dustbin lids and his feet in their boots were like baby dolphins. He also had dark eyes that glinted like black beetles.
"Guys this is Professor Rubeus Hagrid your Care of Magical Creatures professor," said James Sirius
"Hello everyone its nice meeting all of you." said the giant man" So I want four of you in one boat, not one more because they won't move."
As soon as he said that James Sirius turned to his sister and cousins and said" I will see all of you at the sorting ceremony don't forget it doesn't really matter in what house you get in to." all four nodded their heads
James Sirius left before they left and disappeared soon enough in the darkness and every one turn towards the man that would become their professor looking for directions.
"All right everyone in the boats we need to leave right now because I am sure everyone is nervous and hungry," said Hagrid waiting for all of them to get into the boats.
He was right so everyone hurried into the boats too excited to wait for any more. As the boats moved towards the castle everyone's eyes became wide with amazement at the amazing view of the castle where they would spend the next seven years of their life.
'It's going to be amazing' thought Violet, looking at her new home.
