Chapter Ten
Home
It's the end of our first year at Hogwarts. We're heading home today. Hufflepuff won the house cup, and Slytherin won the quidditch cup. Gryffindor was very close, though.
It's so weird. Hogwarts is like a second home to me, even though I've only been here for a year. It's crazy to think a year ago, I didn't even know magic existed. Now, I have a wand, I can perform magic, and I even have my own broom. It sucks that I won't be able to use any of it over the summer. At least I'll have Fred, George, and Mona to talk to. We can talk about our plans for next year and the memories and friends we made this year. Angelina, Katie, Jordan, and Alicia all gave us their information and the twins offered letting us use Errol whenever we want.
"Sad to go?" George asks as we walk down the train platform to our car.
"Yeah, but I'm also excited to go home and see my family again. I've missed them." Mona answers, stepping into our car and shutting the door. We sit down, the twins across from us.
"I can't wait to go home and brag about making the team to Ron. He said we'd never be good at quidditch. Now we can give him a good talking to." Fred says.
"It's weird, isn't it? I bet you guys never thought you'd be sitting with us, coming home from Hogwarts. It's crazy to think about how this almost didn't happen."
"Well I'm glad it did. Hogwarts is great, but you guys made it even better. Hogwarts wasn't the same without you." George adds on.
The train whistle blows and the train begins move. I look out the window and watch Hogwarts slowly get farther and farther away. I just had to see the castle on more time before next school year. I'm glad we're going home, but Hogwarts is like a home to me too.
