Hogwarts - Bonded by fate, not blood.

Chapter 1. Hogwarts express

[MUSIC BUILDS HOGWARTS THEME - HINT OF MYSTERY, THEN SWELLS INTO TRIUMPH.]

NARRATOR (soft, echoing):
"Dear reader,
You have been selected to attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A place where magic is real, friendships are forged, and destinies are written in the stars..."

[SCENE:] A boy with wide eyes holds the letter close as his grandmother gasps beside him.

A girl in a snow-covered village dropping her broom in awe. The snow owl flies past children, rooftops, castles, and coastlines.

NARRATOR (continues):
"Your term begins on the 1st of September. Enclosed is a list of necessary books and equipment. Await further instruction... and prepare for a journey like no other."

[MUSIC SHIFTS - MORE MYSTICAL AND URGENT]

[2th SCENE:] A shadowed figure in green robes watches the owl vanish into the fog. His eyes glow faintly. Behind him, a rustle in the Forbidden Forest... something ancient is awakening.]

VOICE WHISPERED (unseen, dark):
"The letters have gone out again... but this year, something else returns with them."

[3th SCENE:] The Hogwarts Express roars through the countryside, towards platform 9 and 3/4. To pick up new students that would lean out of windows, wide-eyed. Lightning cracks in the distance. Somewhere deep in the school, the Sorting Hat stirs on its shelf.

[MUSIC HITS A FINAL NOTE - TRIUMPHANT AND CHILLING]

------ DEPARTURE DAY ----

Raindrops pelted the glass roof of King's Cross Station like a thousand impatient fingers drumming against time itself. The late summer crowd surged and scattered under the heavy downpour, umbrellas snapping open like frantic birds. Y/N stood at the entrance, her hoodie damp, earbuds in, phone in one hand, and a modest suitcase in the other.
