#7: Hogwarts

Remus, Damian, ans I spend the rest of the ride talking and playing wizard chess. When it's time to leave, we walk out together.

"'irts years! 'irst years!" a tall man with a big bushy brown beard yells.

"Race you there!" I say, taking off towarda a boat.

"No fair!" Damian calls out running after me.

Remus and Damian collapse inside the boat.

"How-pant-are-pant-you-pant-so fast?" Remus asks.

I shrug.

"Practice?"

"Start rowin'" the man yells.

I pick up the oars and row, unaware of the other person on the boat.

"Wow. That's a tentacle. That is a tentacle," Damian says, face pale.

"Wha- Holy sh*t!" I say.

There is a giant tentacle wrapped around another person in the boat.

The person has short, wavy black hair and grey eyes.

"Someone help him!" I scream at Remus and Damian.

Remus rushs towards the boy and tickles the tentacles.

After the boy drops to the boat, I row as fast as possible.

"Hmph. I was completely fine!" the boy huffs.

"Yeah, sure," Remus scoffs.

"I was!" the boy insists.

"We're here," I announce, getting off the boat.

"In a line! Get in a line!" the man yells.

We shuffle into a line and walk into the castle.
