NCT Dream - The Wizarding Worlds Differences

Chapter 3. The Houses of Hogwarts

"This is literally a train station, there are lots of regular people here. How the fuck are we going to get to a migacal school from here?!"

"Oh just shut up already Jeno!" Donghyuck sighed deeply. "Mom gave us the exact directions. We are supposed to walk to a brick wall between platforms 9 and 10, then we are going to run through the wall."

Jeno rolled his eyes at his cousin but continued pushing his cart after him.

"Yes, sounds very simple, let's just run straight through a wall..."

Jeno didn't think much more of it, he was literally on his way to a magical school and he's wondering why he should run through a wall.

The boys walked for a bit pushing their carts and swerving around people walking annoyingly slow.

"Yes this should be it!"

Donghyuck came to an abrupt stop and Jeno drove his cart straight into his cousin's back.

"Ow fuck!"

"Geez sorry bro."

Donghyuck just turned around to quickly glare at Jeno before a bright smile grazed over his features again. He backed a bit and positioned himself beside Jeno.

"Okay. On three were going to run straight at that wall."

Jeno gave a hesitating glance towards his cousin but still readied himself.

"One."

They gripped the handles of their carts harder.

"Two."

Jeno quietly apologized to everyone he ever had hurt in his life.

"Three."

Both boys started running, Jeno closing his eyes halfway.

The boys suddenly felt a cool draft pass by and Jeno opened his eyes. There before the two cousins stood a train, it was red and lots of people were boarding it already. Donghyuck read the golden letters at the front of the train "Hogwarts Express". Suddenly there was a whistling noise cutting through the bustling sounds of wizarding families rushing around.

"Five minutes til' departure!"

Jeno made eye contact with Donghyuck and they rushed together to where it looked like people were putting their baggage.

A sweet man with a uniform came up to them and told them that he would take care of their bags and that they could board the train to look for places to sit. The boys thanked him and stepped into the train through the closest door.

The inside of the train had a red theme and the train carriages were split into smaller booths. The booths had sliding doors with windows and the cousins walked through the corridors looking left and right to see if they could find an empty booth.

Soon enough they found a booth that was empty, they opened the door and flopped down on the seats.

A whistle was heard again and the train started rolling out of the station, they were finally on their way.

"I'm happy that you also got the letter. I would be alone otherwise."

Donghyuck gratefully smiled at Jeno.

"Yeah I'm glad too, I don't have to go to normal school anymore. Or at least I don't think so, what do you even do in Hogwarts?"

Donghyuck just shrugged, neither knowing anything of what this magical school actually was about.

Five minutes had gone by since departure and the boys' discussion about what they imagined Hogwarts to be was interrupted by the door of their booth sliding open. They looked up and were met with the sight of a familiar boy, Mark.
