"Mama's coming. Hide!" Rapunazel whispered to Jack. Jack flew quickly out of the window and into the woods to hide until nightfall. Their plan was to go to London that night and get all of things on the list and be back by morning so Mama would never know that Rapunazel was gone. On September first, they were going to fly to to the station and get on the train to Hogwarts. They would have to sneak away when Mama was gone and hope she left early enough so that they could make the train.

"I hope that this plan works." Rap thought. They went to London and had to find Diagon Alley. "Now, where is this Diagon Alley?" Jack wondered out loud.

"Did you say Diagon Alley?" An old man asked.

"Yes sir." Jack replied.

"Well come with me, I'll get you kids there." They followed the old man, who on the way told them that his name was Tom and that he was the bartender of the Leaky Caldron They got back from Diagon Alley just before dawn, which was good, because it meant that Rapunazel hadn't been missed yet. On September first, the plan worked perfectly. They made the train and tried to find a compartment. They found a compartment that had only two kids in it with room for four more kids. A brown-haired boy and a blond-haired girl were sitting side by side reading a book. They looked to be their age, which was eleven. The boy appeared to be reading out loud. His emerald green eyes were wide with amazement. The girl, sitting with her head on the boy's shoulder, was reading silently and twisting her braid. She was watching the boy and trying to read the book with wide sky blue eyes filled with wonder.

"Maybe it's in a different language." Jack thought. Jack got a look at the cover of the book. The book's title was Hogwarts: A History, but there were weird letters. Yep. The book was in a different language.

"So, are we going to ask them if we can sit?" Rapunazel asked, her voice small and shaking and her blue green eyes wide with fear and questioning.

"Yes. Yes, of course we are going to ask if we can sit." Jack replied. With that, Jack slid open the door to the compartment and stepped in.
