Aedan threw his head back in laughter, laughing at what his mother said. They had gone to Diagon Alley earlier that day, and his mum was making a joke about how natural he was with his wand. He picked up his plate and put it in the sink. His mum gracefully floated her and his dad's plates to him and he put them in the sink. He smiled, imagining that one day he will be able to do that as well, and that day would be tomorrow, well not quite, he still had to learn how to do it, but tomorrow he would be going to platform 9 and 3/4 to board the Hogwarts Express.
"Sweetie, are you ready to go? We don't want to get there to late." His mum, Marian said. They lived in the country, as far away from London as possible, and they had run out of floo powder so they had to drive. They were staying in a hotel tonight, so they could go to Diagon Alley and Kings Cross in one trip. As they rarely come to London they decided to meet up with friends. He nodded in response to his mother's question and they headed out of the door, down to the elevators.
"Honestly, these muggles are geniuses!" His dad exclaimed, looking at the elevators. Aedan rolled his eyes, his dad always overreacted to this kind of thing. As they were riding down on the elevator, Adean rested his eyes. It had been a really big day, and he had gotten up really early. He didn't want to go to these peoples house, he felt uncomfortable around new people, and had a feeling tonight would be no exception. He was brought out of his thoughts by the elevator stopping.
"So, are you excited to go to a wizard restaurant? They have the most amazing drink known to man kind. Well okay wizard kind." His mum said excitedly.
"Hmmm? Yeah, I 'spose so. Who are these people anyway?" Adean asked.
"They're your cousins, silly! One of them's your cousin. I believe he's starting at Hogwarts this year too." Marian said.
"No I'm pretty sure that he got a scholarship to that other school, whats it called? Oh yeah, Pigfarts!" His dad, Brian, replied.
As they walked out of the hotel and got into their muggle car Adean wondered if he would like these 'cousins' of his. He had never met any of his cousins, or, to think of it, his Aunts and Uncles. They lived on a property with his Grandma and Grandpa, but other than that he never spoke to his family. He wondered why that was.
As his dad started up the car, he said "Aedan, I know you don't like new people, but I haven't seen my sister in a long time, and I would appreciate if you were on your best manners. Also please put your hair up, or in a hat, or something." His father looked at him for a long time, and as Aedan stared into his dads bright hazel eyes which he inherited, he started to feel a bit bad, he could be a but difficult with new people, and maybe he could try acting really confident.
"Okay, Dad, if its important to you, its important to me." He said picking up a hat, and putting his shoulder length, black hair in it.
They started to drive, and went down this deserted-looking alley, which after a few metres turned into a bright street full of people. He knew this must be a wizard street, in London, that muggles couldn't see. He smiled looking at all of the different colours and things, feeling reminded of Diagon Alley.
They parked and he got out and saw the most amazing looking book shop, not full of magic spells like the ones in the bookshop in Diagon Alley, but fictional ones about all sorts of things that were really drawing his eye. His mum tugged his arm trying to get him to stop goggling at the book shop and to come to the restaurant.
He turned around and walked with his mother to a shop with a sign reading Wizards Pasta Bar. They walked in to the fancy building and and his parents spoke with the maître d'.
He looked around at the stunning food, it looked like they would place raw food on your table and you got to watch it prepare itself. Aeden smiled to himself, this was the coolest place he had ever been, aside from Ollivanders. The maître d' came out from behind her desk and showed them to their table.
"Isn't this place lovely?" His mother exclaimed.
"Its awesome!" Aedan replied. He picked up the menu full of tiny pictures, his hand brushed against one of the pictures and it dictated what it was. Aedan laughed and touched another one of the pictures. He went through the menu touching all of the pictures. A waiter came over and asked for their orders and he asked for a spaghetti and chicken pasta. After the three of them ordered Brian saw his sister talking to the maître d' and rushed over to greet them. Aedan stood up and walked over and slowly smiled as his parents were greeting his aunt and uncle. His cousin turned to him and introduced himself. Aedan also introduced himself, smiling as though he was comfortable.
"So, when and where are you going to school? I'm going to Pigfarts. Its on Mars." His cousin, Rupert announced. Aedan could tell that he didn't like his cousin, and that it was going to be a very long night. But it would be a magical night so that was ok.
Aedan chuckled to himself. "A school can't be on Mars, idiot, thats in space." He said.
"Of course it can be on Mars! You need a rocket ship! Thats like saying Rumbleroar isn't real! He's a lion that can talk!" Rupert said, in a defensive voice.
"Okay I'm sorry!" Aedan was annoyed at this idiot, what a long night this would be. They brought out a raw chicken and raw pasta and Aedan watched as they prepared and cooked themselves. This really was a magical place.
