"See, I told you I'd find them." CM Punk said, opening the door to Dean and Seth's compartment.
"Hi," a tall tan kid with long black hair said with and awkward wave.
"This is my little bro, Dean, and his friend Seth. Guys, this is Roman, he's Rocky's little brother."
"Cool, welcome to the compartment," Seth said.
"I knew you were cool Rollins," Punk said with a smile, and with that he was gone.
"What's his CM really stand for, he said Cat Man, then all his friends started singing the Batman song," Roman said, watching the bizarre kid leave.
"Who knows it changes every ten minutes," Dean shrugged, "you're from Florida, right?"
"Yeah, Illvormorny didn't accept me."
"What's Liverwarmy?" Seth asked.
"He's muggle born," Roman said.
"Ooh we've got a Ravenclaw on our hands!" Dean said sarcastically.
"Shut up," Seth laughed. Roman was laughing along anyway though.
"Illvormorny is the US magic School, they're much smaller though, and not international, Rock got a Quidditch scholarship there, but Dad wanted him to meet wizards from different cultures," Roman said.
"Apparently there's more Americans and Japanese kids here now, I guess a lot of the English wizards got uncomfortable sending their kids away after the whole You Know Who thing and the Hogwarts War," Dean said.
"You mean Voldemort?" Seth said.
"Don't say his name!" Roman cringed.
"But the history book says we're supposed to so a name can never mean so much again," Seth said.
"Yeah Rome, don't be so uptight!" Dean said, "he's dead and gone."
"You still haven't even said it," Roman said. Seth laughed,
"It's no big deal guys, you don't have to say it. That's just the Hufflepuff way; being a chicken," He teased.
"Hey!" Dean said. Seth laughed. "Voldy Voldy Voldemort!" Dean started singing, "Got killed by a little boy, Voldy the baldy dead oldy, Mort mort mort!" The other two started laughing and singing along to the impromptu song.
The train was very fast, and the ride seemed to go by in hardly any time at all. The kids had all changed by the time they were at the castle. Seth was absolutely amazed when he looked up at the it, it was out of some fantasy game or something, gothic arches and buttresses, and English style mixed together perfectly, machiculations, wooden galleries, and tall curving towers. Though the thin walls didn't form much protection from attack, so Seth wasn't surprised the War of Hogwarts had so many casualties. Once at the school all the first years were ushered into boats that brought them across the lake into a lower section of the castle. The architecture inside the castle was just as breathtaking, big arching ceilings, wide windows and moving pictures all over interacting with each other and waving at the kids. Even the purebloods were awestruck.
