The Irish one
Chapter 1
Alex's POV
Recap…
I woke up in the morning to the sound of a gentle tapping on my window I groaned and rolled out of bed and ended rolling straight onto the floor "oww" I muttered to myself as I stood up straight. I looked towards my window and saw a large brown feathered owl perched up on the window sill with what looked like a letter in its mouth. I slowly walked towards the window and opened it allowing for me to reach for the owl. I gently removed the letter from its mouth and thanked whilst it flew away.
I walked towards my bed with the letter in hand and sat down and examined the envelope, it was addressed to me which was strange because I hardly ever got mail never the less I was excited to what could be inside so I opened it inside the letter said…
Dear Miss Evans
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry.
Students shall be required to report to the chamber of reception upon arrival, the dates for which shall de duly advised.
Please ensure that the utmost attention be made to the brief of requirements attached herewith…
I was so overwhelmed and exited that I ended screaming in delight. Next thing I know that my mum Tristan, Kieran, and Alice have all rushed towards my bedroom with panicked expressions on their faces "what's wrong dear" my mum asked concerned whilst checking to see if I was okay.
"I got my letter" I said almost as a whisper because I was still so shocked
"Awe well done my dear im so proud of you" she said whist hugging me
Next thing you know we hear a male scream coming from the other side of the house "JJ" we all said at the same time and we all rushed to his room, when we got there we saw he had the same looking letter to mine in his hand and him looking just as shocked "got your letter then I see" Kieran said clearly amused by all this. All JJ did was nod he seemed to surprised to even talk. "My babies are finally growing up awe" mother said whilst pulling me and JJ into a bone crushing hug.
"mummmm" JJ wined clearly not liking that she called us her babies and I said "can't breathe" although it came out muffled in her shoulder. She immediately let us go and stepped back then Tristan and Kieran stepped forwards and hugged us saying they were glad we were coming this year and Alice said "it's not fair you all have got your letters I've still got to wait another year for mine" whilst pouting "don't worry a year will soon pass quickly Ali (my nickname for her) then it we will all be together" I said soothingly while hugging her. Well you know where we going today then don't you.. Diagon Alley".
That day I bought my first wand from ollivanders which I love so much and got all my other school supplies and I even bought an owl so I could keep in contact with mum and Ali over the school year I named her snowdrop cause she was one of the whitest owls I've ever seen i think me and her are going to get on very well she tried to bite JJ when he tried to pet her but she loves me so she will fit in just fine with me. That night I packed my trunk and went to sleep dreaming of my Hogwarts adventures to come…
Currently …
The following week it was time to leave for Hogwarts I was so excited today that I jumped on everyone's bed to get them up, Tristan was very reluctant to move out of bed until I threw a glass of water over him opps… then he couldn't of moved fast enough and ended up chasing me downstairs and throwing a glass over me as well but at least I got him up and trust me he's usually like a living zombie in the mornings but today all he kept doing was glaring at me and muttering cuss words oh well he's never been a morning person. Me, JJ, Kieran, and Tristan all dragged our trunks to the station with mum and Ali at our sides and made our way up to platform 9 and 1/3 Kieran and Tristan walked straight through the walls 9 and 10 with their trunks I was amazed at how nobody noticed them disappear then it was mine and JJ's turn I think JJ was a little reluctant and scared but I couldn't wait I ran straight through it and arrived at a completely new platform with a sign platform 9 and 1/3 with a huge black and red train which was called the Hogwarts express. I had the biggest grin on my face as I looked around. Moments later JJ emerged from the wall and looked around as well he seemed to look amazed as well.
we spotted Tristan and Kieran and walked over to them soon later mum and ali joined us and we said our goodbyes I was really going to miss mum I wouldn't see her again till Christmas and I was even going to miss ali even though she can get a little annoying at times. The final whistle blew and we knew we had to board. Tristan and Kieran soon abandoned me and JJ to find and greet their friends all the rooms were soon filling up and me and JJ didn't know where to go cause we couldn't find anywhere to sit I spotted one with only 3 kids sitting inside of it so I called JJ over I poked my head through the door and said "excuse me do you mind if me and my brother sit in here with you guys all the other rooms are full?" They all looked up to me and one of the boys said "nah not at all join us" in a very strong Irish accent said whilst patting a spare seat next to him. We both walked in and put our trunks above us and sat down "thanks its chaos on this train trying to find a seat I would have had better chance trying to get a seat at the world cup or something" I said they all seemed to laugh at this I took this time to study them one of the boys had dark skin and short black hair sat across from me and the one sat next to him was a light skinned and short brown hair. The Irish one also had short brown hair in short they all seemed very nice and im sure I'd become good friends with them. "well I don't know about that but im dean" the dark skinned one said "im Neville" the light skinned one said "and im Seamus" the Irish one said "Hi im Alexis but call me Alex and this is my brother JJ" I said whilst pointing to him "hi guys are you first years?" he said finally speaking "yep were excited though, are you guys?" Seamus said "yeah we're excited to we've heard all about it from our older brothers who go here and im just glad I finally get to see it" I said maybe coming across a little to exited but I don't think they noticed or they just didn't care. Then Neville started looking on the floor for something. "What are you looking for Neville?" dean asked "I've lost Trevor" Neville replied still searching the floor and sounding worried "Trevor? Who's Trevor" JJ asked confused " Trevor's Neville's pet toad" Seamus answered him "well then let's all go look for Trevor then shall we" I said whilst standing up "you'd do that" Neville said looking at me a little shocked "yeah that's what friends do right?" I said while smiling encouragingly at him "yeah Alex is right we'd better split up though and search the train" JJ said also standing up "thanks guys" Neville said.
So me, JJ, Neville, Seamus, and dean all searched the train looking for him but we couldn't find him anywhere. It Was nearly time to leave the train so we all changed into our robes and I comforted Neville by saying "it will be alright Neville we will find him eventually just give it time I once had a pet cat called lucky who went missing for 2 days and in the end it wasn't even lost just sleeping in my wardrobe" while I rubbed his back soothingly in a friendly way "thanks Alex you're a great friend" he then unboarded the train so did JJ it only left me and Seamus "come on Alex otherwise they'll leave without us whilst grabbing my hand and dragging me out. I don't know why but when he grabbed my hand electric sparks shooted through me I tried to ignore it as I stepped of the train but one thing was for sure I was sure going to love it here…
