BEEP BEEP BEEEP BEEP.

My day starts alike all others, to the maddening sounds of my alarm clock beeping once again.  I jump out of bed, onto the soft carpet of the floor.  But of course, my left foot lands onto the corner of an open textbook known as "Hogwarts: A History".  Wincing, I pull myself onto the bed, waiting for the numbing pain to secede.  I knew as I fell asleep that I should've put away the books, but of course I ignorantly left them on the floor.  With a sigh, I pack the rest of the left out books into my trunks and set off into the kitchen.

"Mornin' Thorn, good morning Dakota" I mumble as I enter the kitchen.  Thorn jumps up into my arms as I reach to grab the dog food. "Hold on, hold on!  I actually need my arms to feed you ok?"  Softly, I place Thorn onto the ground and pour out the dog food into two bowls for Thorn and Dakota. 

"Today's a big day.  I'm finally going to Hogwarts!  Of course you guys get to come as well". I place the two bowls onto the ground and watch with a smile as they rush towards their breakfast.  With a small jump, I hop over to take a glance at the time.  "10:20????   We're gonna be late!!!!   Let's go, you guys hurry up and eat faster while I get my trunks."

Sprinting down the hall, I run into my room and swiftly grab my trunk and head towards the front door.  "Come on!" I command to the dogs as I pat my hip to get their attention.  I hold open the door to let them out, and we leave in a jog to King's Cross station. 

At 11:27, we finally run into the train station, rushing to get to the platform in time.  Without pausing, I send Dakota and Thorn through the gateway and run in after them.  Just before I reach the wall, a stranger grabs ahold of my arm but loses their grip as I jump through the wall.  Without giving it another thought, I jump onto the train and slide into an empty compartment near the back.
