Hogwarts Adventures Chapter 2

Rob spent the rest of the summer reading up on his books, practicing some spells, and training on his broom. He actually got the hang of several spells from his Standard Book of Spells Grade 1, and a few his dad knew, such as the Disarming Spell. His sister had also toaken him out and practiced Quidditch, where they learned he was an exceptional Keeper.

He read his books, and realized that some of the things he had heard weren't that bad. His father had told him that Transfiguration was extremely hard, yet Rob easily transfigured a toad into a cup, and back.

The days until September 1st dwindled down, and before Rob knew it, it was August 31st. He had gotten a new trunk, and immediately began packing it that night. He was told he could change into his robes on the train, so that wouldn't be an issue for him. After making sure everything was packed, he realized that his owl hadn't come home from the previous night.

"Oh crap, where is he?" Rob said to himself. As if on cue, his owl flew into his room, and dropped off a letter. "Thanks buddy. We still have to name you." Rob said. He knew he had forgotten something. The owl just looked at him. "How about Tawn?" he asked. Tawn hooted at him, and flew into his cage. "Well that works." He picked up the letter, and realized to was from Chris and Jessica. He and his father had gone back to Diagon Alley to get his trunk, and he had met them again, this time giving them his address so they could write back and forth. He opened the letter and read:

Rob,

We will be at the gates by 10:45 tomorrow. Katie wanted us to get there early so she could meet you, and so we can't see her get emotional when we leave. Then hopefully we can get a compartment together on the train. Jessica is looking forward to it, and she says hi by the way.

See you tomorrow

Chris

Rob smiled. He was glad to have met some friends before going to Hogwarts. Atleast the trip would be fun. He locked Tawn's door and finally laid down to go to sleep.

The next morning wasn't has hectic as he had been told. His mother cried a bit, and he and Mr. Lockwood made it to Kings Cross station by 10:40. "Alright Rob, this is where I'm going to leave you. Your friends said they would be on their way by now. Good luck out there. Write every week. Keep up with your studies. If you make the Quidditch team, practice hard. You're sister said you're an extremely good Keeper, and she played Chaser for the Ballycastle Bats for awhile, so that is something." Mr. Lockwood told him. He gave Rob a hug.

"See you at Christmas Dad." Rob said. Mr. Lockwood then left, and Rob felt extremely alone. This was the first time he had been alone in his entire life. He had actually began to worry, until he heard "Train station to Rob". He turned around to see Chris, and Jessica standing there, along with an older blonde woman, and an brunette man.

"Hey Rob. This our sister Katie." Chris said pointing to the blonde woman, who smiled, and shook his hand. "And Oliver." Chris pointed to the man, who also shook Robs hand.

"Nice to meet you Rob. Chris and Jessica haven't stopped talking about you since they met you at Quality Quidditch Supplies." Katie said jokingly.

"Oh come on Katie. Jessica is the one who wouldn't stop." Chris countered. Jessica smacked Chris, and turned slightly red.

"Alright, lets get going you runts." Oliver laughed. They went up to Platforms Nine and Ten, and Rob watched as Chris, and Oliver went through the pillar between the two platforms, and disappeared.

"Whoa." Rob said. Katie gave him a nudge.

"Go ahead Rob." she encouraged him. Rob took a deep breath, and ran through the pillar, and when he looked up, he saw a train that said "Hogwarts Express", and a sign that said Platform 9 3/4 . Katie and Jessica appeared behind him.

"Let's go find a seat." Jessica said. They met up with Chris and Oliver, and managed to find acompartment on the train towards the back, and got all their stuff put away. The siblings then started their goodbyes with Olvier and Katie.

"Mum and Dad would be so proud of you two." Katie said tearfully, giving her siblings hugs. Oliver also gave them both a hug, and promised that he would meet them for the Christmas break. Katie then looked up at Rob. "You look after yourself too Rob. ' she said.

"Thank you. I will." he said. The twins finished up their good-byes as the train started moving. The three sat in their compartment, and watched as Platform 9 3/4 disappeared.

"So." Rob startred, breaking the silence "What House do you think you will be put into?" he asked them.

Chris shrugged. "Our Mum's side of the family were Ravenclaws, and our Dads were in Hufflepuff. Katie is the only Gryffindor in the family, due to the fact she's really bold and pretty much is braver than most." Chris said.

"Nice. My family has mostly been Hufflepuffs in my Dad's side. My Mum is a, what do you call them, Muggle. Though I have had a cousin in Ravenclaw" Rob said.

The door to their compartment then opened up, and a girl stood there. She had long, raven black hair, blue eyes, and seem really scared. "Um, hi there. All the other compartments are full, do you mind if I sit with you three?" she asked.

"Go ahead. We don't bite." Jessica said kindly. Rob and Chris helped the girl get her trunk, and her pet cat set in, and then all four sat down.

"I'm Violet Lavito." the girl said.

"Chris Bell." Chris said.

"Jessica Bell." Jessica added.

"Rob Lockwood." Rob finally said.

"You all excited for classes? I am. I've studied a bit of the spells and everything. I really hope I get into Ravenclaw House. My Uncle said I have the intelligence for it" Violet said.

"Our mothers side was in Ravenclaw." Jessica said. "Our dads side was in Hufflepuff."

"My Dads side was in Hufflepuff, so odds are I'll end up there." Rob said.

"So tell us about your family Violet." Chris said. Violet's smiled immediately fell, and Jessica smacked Chris in the head again.

"Do I have to do this all the time you say somethinger Christopher Michael Bell?" Jessica asked, rather annoyed.

"It's alright Jessica." Violet started, tearring up. "My father was a Ravenclaw, and married my mother, who was a Muggle. However, one day, he went to work, and came home branded with the Dark Mark. He told me and Mum he had joined the Death Eaters. He totured us both for days, until the Aurors came and captured him. My Uncle, who was also Ravenclaw took me in because my Mum ended up going to the Psych Ward in a Muggle hospital. He, and my Aunt have raised me ever since." she told them.

"Wow, the Second Wizarding War had a huge impact on everyone." Rob said finally.

"Yeah, our parents were killed by Death Eaters. Our sister and future brother in law fought, but only came back with minor scratches." Jessica added. They all sat in silence for a moment, before a lady with a trolley came to their comparment.

"Anything off the trolley dears?" she asked. They emptied their pockets and bought Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, Chocolate Frogs, licorice Wands, and Drooble's Best Blowing Gum. For about an hour, they talked about their childhood, and ate their food, laughing and joking.

It was about 5pm when the conductor said that they were close to Hogwarts. The boys changed into their robes, which both Rob and Chris needed help with their ties, and then the girls changed into theirs.

Finally, the train stopped at the station, and the four grabbed their trunks, and pets. Chris also had an owl, while Jessica and Violet had cats. Once of the train, they heard a loud booming voice. "Firs' Years! Firs' years this way!" They saw a large man, directing them towards him. A girl with black hair, and brown eyes, about the same hieght as Jessica bumped into them.

"Get out of my way!" she snapped at them. Jessica then made a gesture at the girl that Rob was sure Katie would not have been happy with.

"Alright. "This is How'll we'll be gettin to Hogwarts. By boat, Only, four per boat, please." the giant man told them. "Also, take yer stuff. It will be lef in the Great hall, and be taken to yer houses once yer sorted." Rob, Chris, Jessica, and Violet got into their own boat, and soon they went across a lake. Once student gasped as a large tentacle came out of the water.

"That's the giant squid. He won't hurt ye." the man called to the students. "Oh by the way, I'm Hagrid, Keeper of the Keys, an' grounds at Hogwarts, and also the Care o' Magical Creatures professor." he told them. After about ten minutes, they finally got off the boats, and Hagrid led them up a path to the castle of Hogwarts. He then pounded on the door, and a small wizard opened it. He had short hair, and glasses.

"Here are the Firs' Years professor Flitwick." Hagrid said to the small wizard.

"Thank you Hagrid. I'll take it from here." Professor Flitwick said to Hagrid. Once Hagrid left, Flitwick turned back to the students. "Welcome to Hogwarts. This will be your home for the next few months, and also for the next seven school years. There are four Houses at Hogwarts: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. You each will be sorted into a House. While you are here, your House will be like your family. Any triumph you have will earn your House points, and rule breaking will lose you Points. At the end of the year, the House with the most points will win the House Cup. Now, please follow me."

The First Years followed him to a large Hall area, where all the other students were seated. Rob happened to notice the colors on their robes, and wonder which one he would be wearing, or if he would be with any of his new friends. He was nsapped out of his thoughts when Flitwick told the students.

"It is time to be sorted."

So the first years are about to be sorted. Which House will Rob, Chris, Jessica, and Violet be put in?

Also, I know there were two different Katie Bells portrayed in the movies. I went with Emily Dale's Katie Bell, only because I wasn't a fan of the 6ths Harry Potter movie's Katie Bell. Also Flitwick looks like the Flitwick from PoA-Deathly Hallows pt 2 movie.
