DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN Ed, Edd, n Eddy or Harry Potter
Chapter 3
The Eds waited there at the wall with fear in their eyes as their stares were focused on the Kankers who were aproaching. The Kankers had not spotted the Eds yet though.
"IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU GUYS!" Ed said while expecting his fate.
"SHH, QUIET LUMPY! WE'RE NOT DONE YET!" whispered Eddy.
But just then, a huge man with black hair and a black beard opened the wall with a pink umbrella. Without hesitation, they sprinted through the wall with their stuff which caused them to fall into the room. The man stared down at them.
"Blimey! you kids need ter watch where yer going!"
"I believe we need to, too sir." said Double D while panting for air.
"Who are ya?" asked the man.
"I'M ED"
"I'm Edd too, but with two 'D's"
"And I'm Eddy"
"Ok, well, ma name's Hagrid, I'm the Keeper of the Keys at Hogwarts."
"Splendid! My friends and I are going to attend Hogwarts! Is it a nice school? Will we be receiving quality education?" asked a very curious Double D.
"I'd say so, I only spent three years there though. Got expelled cus' someone framed me." said Hagrid.
"Who framed you?" asked Double D.
"A very bad man. We don't speak his name 'round here."replied Hagrid.
"Fortunately, the Headmaster Albus Dumbledore let me stay at Hogwarts as the gamekeeper. Great man Albus..."
But Ed seems to have a far more urgent question.
"Are you a giant?" asked Ed.
"I get that question a lot. Yes and no. I am a hybrid between human and giant." answered Hagrid.
"I've read all about giants." replied Ed.
"In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? Great read that is." asked Hagrid
"No, in Magical Max. You are Max's greatest allies." informed Ed.
"I believe I have not read that... and I must get going. I need ter go and get me some Flesh Eatin' Slug Repellant." said Hagrid.
"Bye Hagrid, it was nice meeting you, see you at Hogwarts!" said Double D as he waved goodbye.
Finally, the trio of Eds were now back onto the streets of London. It was getting late so they walked back to their motel. All three of them received their fair share of glances since they were all carrying pets. They finally made it back to their motel room and layed on their beds. There were only two though, and they were small. But it was Eddy's turn to sleep with Ed. They layed for about two minutes before Ed yelled out loud...
"COCO!"
"ED! KEEP IT DOWN, I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" scolded Eddy.
"I am naming my chicken Coco." said Ed.
He seemed very serious about this.
"Why Ed, that seems like a nice name." I might as well choose a name for my owl." "I will name it Edwin. Edwin the Owl." said Double D.
"Ok" said Eddy. "I'm going to name my toad... Butch. Then, they dosed off on their cheap beds.
The next morning, it was time to get on the train! All three of them were thrilled that they were finally able to go to Hogwarts. They gathered all of their stuff and packed it into their bags. While they were packing, they were looking back at their lives before this. They realized that their lives will never be the same. But they were looking forward to it. They all checked out of the motel and walked out the door. The letter told them to go to King's Cross Station in order to catch the train, so they walked there too. Eventually, they made it to King's Cross Station and bought their tickets. "So where is this train? asked Eddy. Just then, Ed slipped on a drink someone spilled.
"AAHHHHH" he fell against Eddy who was knocked towards a pillar. But instead of hitting the pillar with impact, he went THROUGH the pillar. Double D and Ed looked at each other with concern.
"WE'RE COMING FOR YOU EDDY!" screamed Ed.
Him and Double D ran at the pillar, they were expecting to feel a thick, large stone pillar smash against them, but instead they just felt air. When they got up, they were staring at a scarlet train with 'Hogwarts Express written on it. They saw many different children boarding the train, and waving to their parents. There was quite the crowd of parents who were waving and blowing kisses. When the Eds saw this, they felt a little homesick.
They went up to the train, gave the man standing in front of the train their tickets, and boarded the train. They found a vacant compartment near the back of the train. They put their luggage away in an overhead container and sat down. The seats were very comfortable.
"Wow" Double D said.
The view from the train looking at the English countryside was amazing. They spent almost five minutes straight staring out the window. The door to the compartment muffled all of the loud shouting on the train which was convenient.
Suddenly, they heard a knock on their door. It was an old lady with a cart of brightly colored candy and sweets. They opened the door.
"Anything off the trolley dears?" she said in a quiet, sweet voice.
The Eds looked at the candy, but what they noticed were the large, round jawbreakers.
"Jawbreakers!" They yelled simultaneously.
But they realized that they had spent all of there money on supplies, they didn't have any money for candy. But, Eddy pulled 5 galleons from his pocket. It was the money the got from the scam two days ago!
"Ready to feast guys? asked Eddy with a large grin.
They ended up buying all the jawbreakers there were, about 10 chocholate frogs, Pumpkin Pastries, 5 boxes of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and some licorice sticks. Obviously, they started with the jawbreakers. They each put one into the side of their mouth and sucked on it.
"mmm... these are better than the ones back at home!" Eddy stated."These are soooo goooo...ACCCKKKK!" Eddy felt sharp pain in his mouth.
Then, the same thing happened to Ed and Double D. They all looked at eachother, all three of them had their mouths bent in a distorted way.
"Gentlemen!" Double D tried to say with his broken mouth. "I believe these jawbreakers actually break you jaw!"
The three read the wrappers and found out that the jaw breaking was merely for amusement. Ed has actually broken his jaw before during one of their scams, and realizes that it didn't hurt as bad as a real jaw break for obvious reasons. But the trio kept eating them because they tasted sooooo good. So after that, every time they eat them, they tense up in anticipation for when it breaks your jaw. Of course, a few seconds after they break you jaw, it heals back. They had a great time eating the jawbreakers and anticipating the jaw-break, and laughing when it catches them off-guard. After the jawbreakers were done, they moved onto the other candy.
"mmm yummy! chocolate frogs!" said Ed.
He opened the small pentagonal box and a shiny, brown, little frog jumped out. He shook up the entire compartment trying to catch it.
"ED! QUIT!" screamed Eddy.
He finally caught the slippery little treat and stuck it into his mouth while it was moving. That also tasted great. As Ed kept eating the frogs, Double D as examining the cards.
"Albus Dumbledore" Double D read aloud. He then looked at the other side:
ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
CURRENTLY HEADMASTER OF HOGWARTS
Considered by many the greatest wizard of modern times, Dumbledore is particular famous for his defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for discovering the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner Nicholas Flamel. Professor Dumbledore enjoys chamber music and tenpin bowling.
They ate more chocolate frogs, but then they moved onto the Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. Eddy was the first one to try them. He put one into his mouth.
"peppermint" he said.
He took a small nibble off another one and realized it was booger.
"Hey Ed, come try this one it's really good!" said Eddy while trying his hardest to contain his laughter.
Ed ate the booger-flavored bean, but had little to no reaction.
"mmm, booger" he said.
Double D and Eddy were almost speechless. Still, the trio had a fun time eating the beans. Every once in a while, they would get liver, tripe, vomit, or spinach to name a few.
They had finished all the candy very early into the train ride. They decided it was time to change into their robes. There was about 4 changing rooms in the back. Each meant for 1 person. When they came out they sat back down into their compartment. Ed had an extra large black robe that hung from his body like his green jacket. His tie was sloppily tied, and his pants were wrinkled as well as his sweater. Double D had a perfectly neat tie and sweater. His robes were perfectly fitting and clean. His baggy wizard hat hung down to the top of his neck in the back. Eddy didn't care much for robes, so he just wore his sweater which had a larger collar than normal, resembling his yellow pollo shirt he used to wear. His tie was normal, but less tight.
They sat there in the compartment looking out the window for about 5 minutes, until they heard noises right next to their door.
"I know your cat ate him Lee" yelled May Kanker.
"You lost your stupid toad May! Puffy would never do such a thing! Right Puffy!" Lee took a moment to pat her ginger cat Puffy which had sharp claws and teeth, messy fur, and looked quite mean...
"Well, it could have been you Marie! Did your cat eat Henry?" asked May.
"Misty wouldn't eat your stupid toad either May!" said Marie.
The Eds were completely frozen in place with fear.
The Kanker sisters spent a few more minutes arguing before Lee turned her head toward the Ed's compartment. Her mouth quickly turned into an evil, devious smirk across her face. She tapped on May and Marie's shoulders who then had the same devilish smirk. They slammed open the door and May screamed...
"It's our boyfriends!". "Big Ed looks so strong and handsome in his robes!" said May while running over to Ed and climbing into his lap.
"And Cutie-Pie here looks so mature!" Marie said while clutching Double D's tie.
"Eddy looks handsome too in his sweater!" said Lee as she patted an angry, red-faced Eddy.
The Eds let out agonizing screams, and the Kankers had devilish laughter, but both sounds were muffled by the now locked compartment door.
"AAAAHHHHHH".
Then the train came to a screeching stop. The Kankers exited the Ed's compartment to go get off the train. In the compartment, Ed, Edd, and Eddy all lay there like lifeless corpses. They were all covered in red kiss marks. All of their clothes were wrinkled.
"We can't walk into that fancy-shmancy castle looking like this!" said Eddy.
Double D quickly gave all of them hankerchiefs to quickly rub of the kisses. They decided that they didn't care that their Hogwarts apparel looked like they were attacked by lions (they kinda were attacked by lions). The conductor told all the kids to leave their things on the train as they would be brought up later. The Ed's got in line to exit the train behind Jonny.
"Ed, Edd, Eddy guess what! Plank ate all the Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans without gagging!" said Jonny.
"Impressive" said a tired, sarcastic Eddy.
"So did I Jonny" said Ed.
They got out of the train. It was a dark, clear night.
"First years this way, don't be shy, first years this way." instructed Hagrid while holding a lantern. "No more than 4 to a boat." he said.
The trio all got into the same boat along with a nervous looking boy.
"Have any of you seen my toad, Trevor?" asked the panicking boy.
All three Ed's shook their heads.
"Tell you what" said Eddy. We will find your stupid toad, but it's gonna cost you a pretty penny said Eddy.
"I merely have five sickles left. Please I beg of you, my Grandma is going to kill me!"
"Relax kid, just give us your five sickles, and we will get you toad!" said Eddy.
"Do you know what house you might go to?" asked the boy.
"House? What's a house?" asked Eddy.
"You will see" said the boy. "I think I'm going to be Hufflepuff. But it would be amazing if I got Gryffindor!" said the boy.
Then Hagrid yelled, "You can finally see the castle, look forward."
Then, the Ed's layed their eyes on the huge, beautiful, magnificent stone castle. Everyone the boats just stood in complete awe. Even Sarah stopped talking to just admire the beauty of the castle. The Eds felt this warm, fuzzy feeling inside. They were also super excited! This was going to be the best school year of their lives!
They then got out of their boats and walked through the entrance. A tall, old woman greeted them at the entrance. She was wearing a large pointed hat and robes that were dark green.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. Now, in a few moments you will pass through these doors and join your classmates, but before you can take your seats, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin".
She said Slytherin like it was bad.
"Now while your here, your house will be like your family. Your triumphs will earn you points. Any rule breaking, and you will lose points. At the end of the year, the house with the most points is awarded the House Cup."
After she said that, the boy from the boat went over to the Eds to show them that he had found his toad, Trevor. Eddy was kind of mad he didn't find it first and he can't charge him. Then, the whole group of first years passed through the doors and were greeted by tables full of older students wearing smaller, brimless pointed black hats.
"Our Headmaster Dumbledore would like to say a few words." said the woman. Finally, the Eds were able to see Albus Dumbledore in person.
"First years, I would like to remind you that the Dark Forest is forbidden to all students. In addition, the third floor corridor is also out of bounds to all students. Thank you."
"Now when I call your name, I will place the Sorting Hat on your head and you will be sorted into your house." said the lady. This was the moment everyone was waiting for. But first, the hat sang a silly song:
Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your tops hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
Y ou might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell brave of heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achive their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And you won't get in a flap!
You're safe in my hands(though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!
"First up, Ed with one 'D'."
"Hmm, there's willingness to do the right thing, and value for courage, but there's also strong loyalty to your friends and family, as well as kindness. I know...
"HUFFLEPUFF"!
The Hufflepuff table clapped and cheered as Ed sloppily ran over there with a huge toothy grin on his face.
"Next up, Edd with two 'D's."
"While there is a strict moral code, there is mostly value for knowledge and learning, as well as endless curiosity. In addition, lone, independent behavior of an only child. Better be..."
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Eddy"
"Ah yes, a natural schemer with endless ambition, and willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. There is also a vast amount of personal pride. No doubt..."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Jimmy"
"I wouldn't call it cowardice, I would just call it avoiding conflict. There's also the gentle and peaceful nature..."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Jonny"
"You seem to have this masked identity of a hero that fights crime, enforcing justice despite you being pretty quiet. I know..."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Now do Plank now." said Jonny. When they said they aren't going to do him, he literally had to be dragged to the Gryffindor table.
"Kevin"
"I see daring nerve, and a strong, brave personality, and there's some arrogance. Though you do lack care for most people, it better be..."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Lee Kanker."
"Definitely, without question..."
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Marie Kanker"
"Just like your sister..."
"SLYTHERIN!"
Eddy couldn't believe he was going to spend seven years with TWO Kankers!
"May Kanker"
"You seem to have this undying loyalty to your sisters and family, I'd say..."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
Lee and Marie were shocked when they heard their youngest sister was going to be in a different house.
"Nazz"
"There's the sense of justice and right and wrong, and someone who cares for the well-being of others..."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"Rolf"
"You value hard work, and you have deep respect for your family and heritage, no doubt..."
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Sarah"
"You are definitely one who wants to enforce the rules others. And you are not afraid to forcefully enforce them to boys older than you.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Next, a few more children were sorted into their houses, including the boy with the toad, who's wish came true, and was sorted into Gryffindor. But there was a more urgent matter. The Ed's realized that they were all in different houses! So, they all got up from their tables, and Ed pulled them into a big, tight, bear hug. Will the Ed's meet again?
Author's Note: That's the end of Chapter 3, it was a pretty long chapter, but it was fun writing. Please leave a review so I can improve the next chapters.
