Disney's Hogwarts

Chapter eleven:Platforms & Trains

Hiccup:

After the conversation with my dad, he wished me goodnight and went to bed.

Then, the realisation hit me. He had said goodnight. Which ment, almost everytime, it actually was night. Which ment that....

Tomorrow I'll be going to Hogwarts!
I couldn't get more excited. Well, mostly because of the pain in my head and toe, but I was really excited anyways.

But what if it was already 11 am in London night because of the different time zones?!

I imagined the wizards would arrive right now and waited for us but we are asleep??? What if we would miss the train and are not accepted in Howard's anymore?!?!?!

I freaked out. I needed to get up and check outside!
But when I tried to get up, the wounds on my back stared hurting real bad and my headache came back, so I laid back down on my bed and sighed.

I'll just have to take the guess. I couldn't get up and waking my father would be hopeless.

Five minutes later, I felt my eyelids get really heavy and within ten seconds, I was fast asleep.

When I woke up my whole body felt sore. I groaned and sat up slowly.

Then it hit me. Today was the day! Today was the day I was to attend Hogwarts!

I let out a small 'yey' and threw my hands in the air.
It was quickly followed by a loud scream of pain.

It felt like I had pulled my wounds open by raising my arms and it stung like a damn dragons teeth.

Not long after I screamed out, dad came running in.

"Son! Are you okay?"

I rolled my eyes but was secretly grateful he came.
" yes dad, I'm fine. I was just being stupid so I found out my back hurts a lot again..."

He nodded.
"Well son, I hope you won't be causing too much trouble in that skool thing of yours. I'm warning ya, if you do, I would get you outta there in no time!"

He looked at me, severe as he could be. And I directly noticed he didn't joked, so I nodded.

"Well then, let's get you out of bed and give you some medicine; the wizards could arrive any minute now and you need to pack all your stuff!"

"Did that already dad. Two days ago."

"Owh"

He awkwardly coughed again and helped me get on my feet. He then pasted some weird ointment on my back. It stung a bit, but I got through.

While we walked outside towards the gatherhall, I realised I wouldn't be seeing it for a while after today. It excited me and made me supernervous at the same time.
I was sure Hogwarts would be amazing, but I was scared I wasn't good enough to get through the first week. Maybe I'd make a mess of everything, just like here at home.

I got snapped out of my thoughts when we met with Astrid and her parents, who were already waiting for us.

I shot a weak smile at Astrid and she nodded and went back to staring at the ground again. I was so glad she acknowledged my presence, even though it was not very welcoming.

'Probably the nerves' I thought.

Our parents small talked a bit, but as 11 am came closer, we all got quieter.

11 am passed and I heard my dad mumble in his beard.
It had to be the time zones.
It just had to be.

Or so I hoped...
