That evening, Hogwarts Express finally arrived to the station, and the sky was covered in darkness. Hagrid was walking to the train with a giant lamp lighting his way as he was coming to escort the first-year students to the school.

"Right, then. First years, this way, please!" Hagrid began calling while waving his hand to his direction. "Come on, now, first years, don't be shy. Come on now, hurry up!"

The students begun to exit the train, with an older student holding a door open for younger studnets. Harry exited the said door first, followed by Ron, and then by Jacob, with Hermione tagging along, while the boys were now dressed in their Hogwarts robes.

Jacob and Hermione were chatting a bit, talking about how they were both interested to learn about magic. Jacob had gotten little over his embarrassing introduction earlier and was interested to know what Hermione was like.

Harry and Ron were ahead and Harry approached the giant first.

"Hello, Harry." The giant greeted the younger Potter.

"Hi, Hagrid." Harry greeted back.

"Whoa." Ron meanwhile was amazed at Hagrid's size.

"Hello, Jacob." Hagrid then greeted Jacob, who got behind the other two.

"Hey, Hagrid." Jacob greeted while waving his hand.

"He's huge." Hermione muttered amazed.

Jacob then leaned closer to her, whispering. "That's what i thought too when we met him."

"Right, then, this way to the boats. Come on now, follow me" Hagrid said to the first-years, then started to walking towards a nearby lake, with the students following him.

Hagrid and the students were all sitting on small boats, which were moving on their own and had lamps on them to light their way. In front of them everybody could see a massive castle at the end of the lake they were getting closer to.

The Potter twins and Ron looked on with wonder. Jacob was sitting at the edge of the boat, while Harry and Ron sat in the middle, and they were joined by two other boys on the back. Hermione, meanwhile, was sitting with a group of other kids on another boat.

"Wicked." was all Ron could say smiling.

Moments later, the first-years were making their way up the stairs of the castle, with different groups chatting with. The Potter twins chatted with Ron, though Jacob also kept close to Hermione at the same time so that the two could talk.

Once reaching the end of the staircase, they were met by Professor McGonagall, a rather severe looking witch in an emerald cloak and a dark, pointy hat.

"Welcome to Hogwarts." McGonagall greeted the students. "Now, in a few moments, you will pass through these doors and join your classmates." She pointed at the door behind her.
