"We gotta get back to Hogwarts, we gotta get back to schoooolll, we gotta get ourselves to Hogwarts, where everything is magi-cooool!"
Brienna and Heidi were singing loudly to A Very Potter Musical as they attempted to choose an outfit for Brienna's first day of college.
"Ugh! I don't know what to wear!"
"This. Wear this." Heidi ordered distractedly. "-To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts-" she sang.
"Heidi, this is a sock." Brienna glared at her. "You aren't helping- and it's all that I need!"
"At Hogwarts!"
"Hogwarts! I think I'm going back!" They yelled the chorus together. Heidi jumped on Brienna's bed. "A sock! Master has given Dobby a sock! Dobby is freeeeee!" She then proceeded to land face down on the mattress. Brienna grabbed her pillow and hit Heidi with it.
"Shut-up, Dobby."
"Hey, did you know you have a tiny door in your closet?" Heidi got up and inspected the wardrobe. Brienna's eyes grew wide.
"Wait, wait. What?! How did- yes, Heidi I knew that. It connects my room with my sister's."
"How do I get in?" Heidi asked excitedly, eager to be nosy.
"It's been closed off for years. It's unsafe and useless."
Because she was curious, Heidi tried the door anyway. Brienna smirked. "Why, it couldn't be locked?"
Ignoring her, Heidi began to sing.
"Da na." She made like a shark and slunk slyly to where they had left their antique purchases. "Da na." There was the key, perched neatly on top. Heidi snatched it from the pile. "Da na." She got on her hands and knees and crawled quickly to the small door, with the key tucked neatly between her teeth.
"Da na da na da na da na da na-"
"What are you doing?" Brienna interjected.
Heidi punched the key into the slot in the door and turned. "Da Na NA!"
Click.
She yelped and yanked the key out.
"Why did that work? Should that have worked?!" Heidi yelled.
"Maybe you busted the lock." Brienna said calmly.
Heidi felt guilty for a whole two seconds. Then she opened the door and every other thought was violently punched from her mind.
"Well da faq. Did that really work?" Brienna gawked at her best friend. She had a smug expression on her face that she only wore when she was right about something.
"What are you doing?" Brienna practically hissed at her. Heidi was down on her hands and knees, crawling through the doorway.
"I'm going to see where it leads!" She stated plainly.
"You ditz, I said it leads to my sister's room."
"Well then I'm going into your sisters room."
Sighing, Brienna got down and followed her.
"I hope there are spiders in here."
"Shut up! I hope you get stuck." Heidi retorted. Laughing, Brienna punched her leg and made her squeal. She then glanced up and realized the room they were entering was not her sisters room.
"Heidi, we aren't in Kansas anymore."
"We don't live in Kansas."
Brienna pinched the bridge of her nose. Suddenly, they heard a man humming. Heidi stopped crawling, forcing Brienna to stop, too.
"What the-" Heidi didn't want to keep going, thinking maybe they had actually crawled into Brienna's parents room, which would be a super awkward confrontation. But something wasn't right, and curiosity got the both of them.
"Keep going." Brienna whispered. They crawled forward slowly until they were able to stand up. When they saw where they ended up, they gasped.
At first it seemed like some strange office... But it actually looked really familiar. REALLY, really familiar, like... Dumbledore's office?
