Everything after that night happened in what felt like the blink of an eye.
There were forms filled, a house check, background check, and so many interviews that heads spun. The adoption process wasn't any easier simply because they possessed magic.
It felt like a weird dream. Keith wakes up his first night at Shiro and Adam's house carefully wandering down to see breakfast almost ready. No one fighting over food or where to sit. Shiro almost buring the pancakes so Adam finally made him sit with Keith at the table. Shiro asked how he slept and if there was anything he needed to make himself more comfortable when an owl flew in.
The odd sense of such domestic living didn't seem to want to sink in to Keith yet especially when Shiro smiled as he looked at the letters that were delivered and handed one with a Hogwarts symbol over to Keith.
"Oh I forgot that was today," Adam said wiggling his nose
Keith could only stare at it. He still wasn't sure. It felt fake. There was still no excitement about the thought of going to Hogwarts. Granted he no longer had to technically focus on just surviving... at least currently but there were still several other things he had to worry about.
Like if he could actually make a family out of what was in front of him
Wouldn't it be a bit too soon for him to be jumping into school if he was supposed to be trying to bond with the pair who had just adopted him? Granted they had spent a lot of time together over the past few months while getting things ready.
It's just...
They were still technically strangers... just strangers that knew his life story and he knew a fraction of theirs
"Oh before I forget... holidays," Adam said, sliding the final pancake to the top of the stack, placing the group on the table, "Typically for Christmas we are stuck there. Nothing we can really do about it. We always try to rotate holidays as professors if we can but some of us always have to stay behind for the students that don't go home. Easter Holiday typically we take a mini vacation just to enjoy time before dealing with the panic sessions of finals. If that sounds alright."
Keith blinked slowly looking at the pair, "What do you mean stuck there?"
Shiro and Adam looked at each other for several long moments before Shiro's eyes widened to a hysterical amount.
"We told you we were teachers... we never really said for what or where did we?" He asked
Keith shook his head as the pieces slowly flew together in his brain
"Oh... that's awkward. We both teach at Hogwarts," Adam confirmed sitting down at the table
It was at the moment Keith decided he would rather die than go to Hogwarts.
Yet there he was
They had exited Charms which was their final class of the day. He rubbed the back of his neck slightly as he walked back toward the common room. Why was their first day so packed full of all the hard stuff?
He was already looking forward to simply taking a shower and going to bed. Seemed like a perfect idea however there was the whole thing of dinner and the fact that some jerks actually gave them homework already.
Plus he was at Hogwarts... while he didn't want to be here to start with he was curious about all the secret places the castle held that the older kids had talked about.
Keith dumped his belongings back in the room groaning as he took a moment to stretch out on the bed. Most of the other first years doing the same.
