Kellie in Slytherin | tinymandyy

Blizzards and Wizards

   "Sarah? Is Sarah here? SARAH MILLER!", yelled my science teacher, Mr Lane,  impatiently. 

   "Yes, Mr Lane, I'm obviously here? Are you blind or something? Ugh, just use your eyes next time and you will definitely spot my gorgeous face.", replied Sarah, annoyed. 

Sarah Miller was a girl in my class, she basically fails every single assessment we do since she literally never listens to the teacher. She's also one of 'those' girls who walk around school everyday wearing ten kilograms of unfinished make-up.

   "Ahem, sorry... okay, umm... aha! Kellie! Kellie? Is Brookie here? ", Mr Lane called out again. 

   "Oh! So sorry Mr Lane! I'm here!", I replied awkwardly. I didn't even notice until he said Brookie, I was way to busy thinking about how Sarah's tiny little face can support all her make-up. By the way, I'm Kellie if you didn't notice, Kellie Brookes. 'Brookie' is a little nickname Mr Lane uses, he never gives anyone nicknames but I'm a top student, he loves me. I ace every science exam!  And I don't just like science, I looove science! Today we are talking about blizzards and wind pressure, and I ski too, so this lesson is extra interesting!

   "Okay! Year six! Listen up! Today we are learning about blizzards and wind pressure, does anyone know what wind pressure has to do with blizzards?", asked Mr Lane, catching everyones attention. 

   "Oh! Oh! I know!", I yelled, sticking my skinny arm into the air, like always. 

   "Yes Kellie?-", Mr Lane started before a loud booming sound interrupted. 

   'BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!', it sounded as if a giant fat man has broken into the school. 

   "GET OUTTA MA WAY TINY HUMANS!", a deep but loud voice yelled, "WHERE IS KAROLINE BROOKES?". 

Oh shit. They want me. ME. AND THEY USED MY FULL NAME. OH SHIT. 

   "Kellie? Is that you? Have you been informed about this happening?", said Mr Lane in a very panicked voice.

   "OF COURSE NOT MR LANE! I AM LITERALLY SCARED TO DEATH RIGHT NOW. HOW DO THEY EVEN KNOW MY NAME.", I yelled at the top of my lungs, I am not kidding, I am so scared, and now half the school knows that my given name is KAROLINE (I hate that name!). Just as I was about to die of embarrassment (because half the school now knows my birth name is Karoline!), a giant, hairy man barged into our classroom (I guess my prediction was right!). And when I say giant, I mean GIANT (the man was big as two and a half Mr Lanes!), and when I say hairy, I mean HAIRY (the man's whole face was covered in dark, frizzy hair)! And the man wasn't just giant, he was also super fat, he literally looks like a little hairy ball from afar! 

   "Karoline Brookes! You're comin' with meh! You parents enrol you for Hogwarts long time ago, jus' come with meh, you'll be fine.", the giant spoke to me. 

   "U-u-uhhh... I don't think... umm... who are you exactly?", I stuttered.

   "I explain once we ge' onto me motorbike.", the giant said calmly, reaching over to grab me.

   "W-w-why should I believe you? Who are my parents, why did they enrol me for Hoogwat?", I questioned, pulling back, scared I might be kidnapped.

   "Hogwarts, that is.", the giant corrected then continued, "An' ya parents, Mrs and Mr Brookes! Ain't that obvious?! And about why they enrol you for Hogwarts- I'll have to explain later.".

   "I don't think I can believe you... ", I replied as I didn't even know who my own parents were... I'm and orphan, I've been living with Ms Grendle, who adopted me, for almost ten years! Ms Grendle is almost eighty, so she doesn't even remember that I'm her adopted daughter. She was supposed to be a 'friend' of my parents but clearly not since every time I bring them up, she says she has never heard of them! Even if Ms Grendle wasn't a friend of my parents, she has still been extremely kind to me and I can't imagine what she will say when she hears that a giant has taken me to Hoogwats on a motorbike! 

   "Karoline, come with meh, you 'av to trust me.", said the giant after a long minute of silence.

   "Bu-", I started before Mr Lane interrupted.

   "Kellie. Go. Bring your phone, we will be able to track and get notified you if you appear in a suspicious location. Good luck.", Mr Lane said with a smile.

I smile and give the whole class one last wave before walking towards the giant. 

   "Jus' follow meh", he said, sensing that I was nervous.

The giant lead me to a bluish grey motorbike with an extra part attached to the side so another person could fit. The motorbike seemed normal, like those ones you see on the road everyday. This made me feel a little better, but I'm still a bit nervous since who know where this mysterious guy will drive me!

   "Hop in! Here, take these goggle. Wear 'em, to prevent your eye from gettin' irritated from all the wind.", the giant said, pointing at the small attached seat. I'm actually so scared right now though, the attached seat looked very unstable. It seems like it could pop off any second! 

   "Hurry up! Wha' are ya' waitin' for?!", the giant yelled. I was just thinking about my life choices! Like leave me alone! 

I hopped into the small compartment, it was very tight and not at all comfy. My poor, precious butt is going to become deformed after this ride. 

   "I Rubeus Hagrid. Feel free to jus' call meh Hagrid. I am a Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. I take you to Diagon Alley, you need to buy some school supplies first.", Hagrid said calmly, hopping into the motorbike himself.

   "And I'm Karoline Brookes, as you already know for some suspicious reason. Feel free to call me Kellie, in fact, please call me Kellie. Also, what is this Hoogwats place? I've never heard of it.", I asked as Hoogwats did seem like a pretty suspicious name. 

   "Hogwarts , ya mean. H-O-G-W-A-R-T-S. ", said Hagrid, correcting me again, this time spelling out the word.

   "Mhm, yes. H-O-G-W-A-R-T-S. Hogwarts?".

   "Yes! Finally. Hogwarts a school. Not just a school. A school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A school where ya parents had you.".

   "Wait... sooo... wait what? Witchcraft and Wizardry, did you say? Wait. WAIT WHAT.".

   "Yes. Witches and wizards exist. And Hogwarts is their place to stay! Or they could go to Durmstrang or Beauxbatons...bu' Hogwarts is bettar.".

   "Okayy...", I said, my voice slowly trailing off. I don't think my brain has anymore space for all these new words!

Hagrid soon starts the motorbike, pressing down the pedal as hard as he could. Then suddenly the motorbike started to go at a very high speed, the howling wind slapping against my face! Then we started lifting into the air! I guess witches and wizards to exist! So do magical motorbikes! Wait. We lifted into the air. WE ARE IN THE AIR. OH NO. 

   "HAGRID. HELP. I THINK IM GOING TO FALL. HAGRID! HELPPPP!!!", I screamed. I will not look down, I will NOT look down. I repeated to myself... I LOOKED DOWN. AHHH!

  "Calm 'own Kel. You'll be fine. Me done this a hundred time before!... well maybe not a hundred... maybe like four?...", said Hagrid, trying to reassure me. 

   "THAT IS NOT HELPING HAGRID.", I screamed back, my voice drowning in the loud sound of the rusty, crusty engine...
