Hogwarts SMP

Chapter 2

"DAD, WAKE UP" Tommy shouted at the crack of dawn, which startled Phil, for he's usually woken up by Techno, and never at this time of day. "I'll get up, but only when you get me a cup of coffee. Be sure to wake up Will afterwards." Phil sat upright on his bed, but didn't get up, and looked at the destructive ball of energy before him who immediately went downstairs for his batteries.

Wilbur groaned when he was woken up by Tommy shaking him repeatedly, he turned over and pulled his covers over his head only for them to be pulled back by his little... gremlin brother.

"What is it Tommy?" He mumbled with an adenoid voice, the edges of his vision blurry.

"We have to head to the train station in a couple hours," Tommy said excitedly, his eyes shining like the ignorant child he is, Wilbur smiled to himself a little, knowing that excitement won't last long.

"Couple of hours Tommy, I've packed, let me sleep," he grumbled. Wilbur lied, Tommy could clearly see his suitcase was empty, bar a small drawstring bag in one of the hidden pockets.

"Dad's cooking pancakes," he added, hoping it would drag Wilbur out of bed; he reluctantly clambered out, and glared at the clock on the wall. You could describe the clock as sad, you could also say it looked mysterious in a way that could easily spark one's interest, an interest that could lead one to the journey of a lifetime, but it mattered in perspective. Wilbur had a different perspective on it though; whether it was positive or negative is up to debate.

"Fine - it's not like I'm going to get back to sleep anyway," he grumbled to Tommy and rolled his eyes as he threw a set of robes carelessly into his suitcase. He looked up and raised an eyebrow at him. "Scram! I'll come down when Phil inevitably shouts that breakfast is ready," Wilbur said. He waved his hand towards that door. "You owe me 5 sickles for waking me up!" Tommy laughed, ignoring his last statement as he ran out of his brother's room. Tommy was already packed and ready to go, cause he was just... really excited, though it evidently hadn't rubbed off on Techno or Wilbur.

When Tommy had gone down earlier, Techno was already up, making Tommy doubt he'd slept at all, it was concerning, but Techno could be stubborn at times. Tommy ran down the stairs, almost falling twice just to trip right when he got to the kitchen, and belly-flopping on the comfy, soft wooden floor.

"Tommy, are you okay?" Phil asked as he got there as fast as he could.

Tommy popped up in an instant smiling, dubious, but smiling. "Yup! So when are we going?" Tommy asked, with great excitement in his voice and eyes ignoring his earlier fall.

"In a few hours, we still have to eat and get ready." Phil told his youngest son, "but I'm already good to go!" Tommy complained. "All I need is food and I'm ready!" He bounced up and down on the balls of his feet, as if ready to run directly to Hogwarts like the bus is too slow.

"Boy are you in for a rude awakening when you get to Hogwarts," Wilbur snorted as he appeared in the doorway, leaning against the door frame, Wilbur could be hard to figure out sometimes, sometimes being painfully obsequious, sometimes being too wild and risky, sometimes he's just a blatant jerk, and sometimes he could be genuinely nice, when he's not pretending, you'd never know which one you'll get until you meet him. As for Tommy, he got a weird mix of them all.

"What's that supposed to mean you little bitch?" Tommy asked, cynical that he would say anything remotely helpful.

"First, language, two I'm taller, and three, Hogwarts is a school, which means we sit through lectures, write essays, do projects and socratics, and lastly, take tests, especially the OWLs. If I remember correctly you've told me before that you hate school," Wilbur pointed out, exasperatingly correct.
