A/N: So, now they are finally on their way to Aradia Institute and for me, school has started again after the holidays, so I won't update as frequently, because I do have quite a lot of homework and presentations! But I'll hope you are fine with that!

Ah, I have a fanfiction for you who would like to read one, I really recommend this one, and it's very funny. It's called 10 ways to kill Draco Malfoy by Drakulya and it's a Dramione :D

So let's continue with the story shall we? Oh, thanks to Freaky Ella, for endlessy correcting and giving examples for how to improve my text!

16th November

When Hermione woke up that morning at exactly 7 am, she lay in the Flightbus bed she'd choose. In an hour they would arrive to the Scandinavian school! She looked around and saw that Dean was awake. So she pulled the curtain next to her around her bed and quickly dressed in jeans and a plain blouse. Then she decided to go and talk to Dean.

She and Dean had always got along very good, but never had the time to develop their friendship, so this trip would be a good chance to change that. "Hey Dean" She said as she came closer, he seemed lost in thoughts and looked very startled when she'd spoke.

"Oh, Hi Hermione" He said with a big smile on his face "Merlin, you scared me!" he said chuckling. The chuckle made him appear better looking than usual. He did normally look very good, but with that chuckle he seemed gorgeous. Not that she liked him in that way!

As they continued to talk more and more students started to wake up. When it was 15 minutes left of the travel they head Mr. Makepeace's voice again. "Good morning ,everyone! I hope you all have had a pleasant night sleep. Now I have to transform the beds into armchairs and sofas again, so if everyone steps out of their bed this should go smoothly…" He said and transformed the beds. "...Now you all can take a seat and we will be landing in approximately 12 minutes"

"This is it, don't be scared now" she told herself. And if all screwed up, it was only for months! She could spend her time in the library! With that calming thought she felt the tickle in her tummy that mean that the height is decreasing.

Seven minutes later she stood next to her trunk and watched the breathtaking view. The castle was located in a big valley with mountains on all sides except one, which instead was boarded by a big lake. There was a bridge over the smallest part of the lake, which Hermione guessed led to the wizard-village Kittelby. The castle itself where made of white bricks and about half the size of Hogwarts. It had several towers and they all had a dark-blue roof with a flag on each tower, the school flag she presumed. The building had A LOT of windows that most likely made the inside of the castle very bright, probably quite the opposite of Hogwarts dark interior.

Words couldn't describe it. None of the words she could think off matched the castle. And she did know a lot of words! She looked over at Parvati who stood next to her, and she literary drooled! Hermione giggled a little, and the giggle woke everyone from their admiration?. "So, now that we have watched the exterior, we should probably go inside and say hello to our hosts" Dumbledore said a little vague, so she guessed Dumbledore too had been enchanted by the beauty of the surroundings and the castle!

He had to admit that it was nicer than Hogwarts, but Parvati and Olympia drooled. It was not that wonderful. When Dumbledore had spoken, he had quickly picked up his bag and started to follow him. They had landed about 300 meters away from the castle, but he didn't mind. It felt nice to be able to walk properly, he had started to feel trapped inside that bus the last couple of hours.

When they walked closer to the entrance he saw the welcome committee. There were no students, but since it was 8.15 he guessed that they were either eating breakfast or on their way to their first class. Mother had said that in Sweden, they started school quite early in the mornings. The committee had five people. The Headmistress and four other people that he assumed were teachers. The Headmistress was for her age, quite a beauty. She was about 40 years old, very young for being Headmistress, and wore a navy blue knee-length dress robe that looked exactly like one his Mother had. She had long dark blond hair and blue eyes. Like a typical Swede.

When we walked up on the paved platform she walked closer to greet us. "How wonderful that you all are here" She said on perfect English, but with a slight Swedish accent. "My name is Lydia Nord, but you will call me Mrs. Nord. You won't meet my students until lunch, when we will have a 'sorting ceremony'. At the ceremony you'll meet your mentor. The house you mentor is in, will be your House. Then you will get popper clothes to wear" She said with a smile. "That was all the information that I had planned on giving you right know. The Institutes Heads will show you to your accommodations, before they'll show you the dining hall where you can eat breakfast. After breakfast you'll have free-time until lunch." Merlin, they seemed to like rules here he thought, but was very rudely interrupted in his thoughts when Mrs. Nord started talking again. "I will let the Heads introduce themselves" She said strictly, and two of the four people in the background entered. Obviously they were not just teachers.

The boy and the girl that walked towards them were both better looking than average, Hogwarts average. The boy was tall, pale and dark brown hair and very blue eyes. The girl had on the other were quite short, had light brown/golden, shiny, straight hair that ended about 3 inches under her collarbone. Her eye color was kind of hard to describe, it was a mix between hazel, honey and emerald. It was a rare mix and it seemed to change every time he looked. He didn't spend much time looking at the boy, more at the girl. It was something about her that was captivating. She suddenly looked him in the eyes and little smile played at her pink lips.

"Hey there" the girl said "My name is Vera and this is Ivorian she said pointing at the boy, that was obviously called Ivorian. Random name was all he could say. Ivorian, what were his parents thinking when they chose that name? "If you have any questions that your mentor not is available to answer, you could always come to us" Ivorian continued.

"Now, let us show you your section of the castle" Vera said. Had they practiced in speaking every other sentence or what?

Vera gave him one last hungry look before turning around and started talking to Ivorian. He smiled at her, took her hand and gave her a quick kiss before continuing. So, they were together. Then why did she gave him looks? Not that he cared about their relationship, but it must be rough when your girlfriend gives the "oh I wouldn't mind doing something with you" look at someone else. Poor, poor Ivorian! He smirked to himself and thought that if there were more girls like Vera at this school, he would be very comfortable here!

A/N: So the expression " This is it, don't be scared now" is from the movie Home Alone.

If anyone want to watch the castle that I describes, the link is here: /entry/19837175/via/Vicxie
