The trans raven

getting ready

Terry and I walk down the straight staircase into the living room where we see our father and step mother standing in the middle of the room in front of the couch where the very tall old woman was sitting straight up.

"Kids me and your mother have some things to talk to you about." our father said he looked worried almost scared 

Terry and i take a seat on the couch on either side of the tall old woman

"now children my name is professor mcgonagall i am the headmaster of the school you will be attending it is a beautiful castiel filled with magic and mysteries and i suspect that you two shall be very happy there." said professor mcgonagall 

"now kids it turns out you two are magical and will be going to a boarding school called Hogwarts and will learn how to use your magic is that not exciting!" Alexa seems to be more excited about this than even our father is she probably just wants to get rid of us .

I look at Terry he seems to still be very apprehensive about all of this and i can't say i blame him. I mean we have never been away from home for more that a few days. Now we're talking about going away for a whole school year and not to mention a school where we won't know anyone at all. Well I suppose that's not entirely true we'll have each other and that will never change.

"Now kids I want you two to go up stairs and get dressed professor here will be escorting us to a place called diagon alley where we are going to buy all your school supplies." our dad said sounding very melancholy

Terry and I jumped off the couch and ran up the stairs the sound of Alexa telling us to slow down behind us but we didn't listen we were about to visit the first magical place we would ever see. How could we slow down knowing that. I ran into my room and  slammed the door but then i stopped for a moment and looked around my room. my room was painted completely in a very light purple my small twin sized bed pushed up against the farthest wall that wall being covered in photos and posters of my favorite football teams and players. I started to think about going so long without seeing this room would i get to visit over christmas would i get my own room at Hogwarts. Would they have a football team i could join there would there be any sports teams. Maybe wizard sports I'm filled with so many questions and what felt like so little time to ask them. 

That would all have to wait for now I must get dressed. I ran to my closet and started going through all my clothes. I finally decided on wearing a plain white T-shirt and black jeans and some tennis shoes. I looked in the mirror and grabbed my blue hair brushed ran it through my long brown hair a few times. I decided it looked fine enough i never really liked my hair no matter what i did it just always kind of looked wrong on me.

After finishing fussing with my hair i walked out and into my brothers room. He of course was still not dressed 

"Holy crap Ter hurry up i'm always having to wait on you." I said walking over and sitting on Terrys bed.

"You're a pain Al it's not a crime to want to look nice." he said nonchalantly while grabbing a pastel blue sweater out of his dresser and laying it down next to me on the bed.  

While Terry was trying to decide between a pair of gray joggers and a pair of black jeans very similar to mine I started looking around his room. i'd have to say that i did prefer my room to Terrys. Terrys room was much more bare than mine being painted a darker purple than mine with no posters on his walls besides one family photo he had above his bed of him dad mom and me. That was the last photo we had taken together before mom died. 

'Ok get out im going to change now." I got up off of him twin sized bed and left his room.

I stood out side of Terrys door until he finally came out dressed in his pastel blue sweater and the similar black jeans i had on we both walked down stairs to find our parents along with the head master standing next to the door. 

"so you kid ready." my father asked in a voice that sounded like it was trying to be excited. 

"ready as ever!" Terry and I both said in unison.
