"Alright, who's ready for a party?" Dean yelled with a wide grin from his seat.

Sam rolled his eyes at his brother's childish behavior but he also couldn't suppress a smile at the enthusiasm they all shared.

"Dude, we're going to Hogwarts!" the older Winchester exclaimed, spreading his arms and nearly slapping Adam in the face, who was unfortunate enough to be seated next to him.

And they were. The three brothers were in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express, the final stage of the long journey they'd undertaken since leaving Ilvermorny. They were all beyond excitement at this unique experience, Dean was just the only one showing it this much. But that didn't change the fact the Winchesters had indeed been offered an opportunity of a lifetime. As Sam looked out of the window, he wondered what the odds were of being selected for the brand-new exchange program between Hogwarts and Ilvermorny. There were about thirty children on this train right now, all of them at different years and from different Houses. Now, Sam didn't know how many applicants there'd been but he figured quite a lot. This was only a trial, so who knew if they'd get another chance next year?

He ignored his brother's rambling and instead enjoyed the view of the British countryside passing by. Of course he'd done his research on the place but he was still taken aback by how different from the United States everything was. The mountains, the forests, the meadows, it was all so magical compared to what he was used to. And in a world of wizards that was saying a lot.

"Sam. Sam. Sam. Sammy. Sam!"

"What is it, Dean?" he shot back, bitch facing his brother in the process.

"You think this place'll be any different from Ilvermorny?"

Sam huffed in disbelief. "Look around. What do you think?"

"Well yeah, obviously," Dean retorted. "I'm talking about Hogwarts. You know, is it a castle just like Ilvermorny? Do they have Houses too?"

The younger Winchester had trouble not sighing and giving up. Adam looked at him sympathetically.

"You haven't done any research at all, have you?" Sam questioned in a more than judging tone.

Dean shrugged and gave him an arrogant grin. "Isn't that what I've got you for?"

Not even remotely surprised, Sam rolled his eyes before sharing what he'd found out. "First of all, yes, Hogwarts is a castle. As are most wizarding schools by the way. It's a lot older than Ilvermorny but as far as I could tell, the two are very similar. Probably because the founders of Ilvermorny based our school off of Hogwarts. So yes, Hogwarts has Houses too, four of them, just like Ilvermorny, although they do represent different values. They're called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. I looked into them a little bit more and I think it's safe to say I will be sorted into Ravenclaw, Dean into Gryffindor, and Adam, you'll probably be in Hufflepuff."

"Seriously?" Dean complained. "We'll all be in different Houses again?"

Sam laughed at his brother's disappointment. "Well, what did you expect? It's not exactly a surprise. We already knew we just don't really have anything in common."
