Eddie looked out of the window. He was overwhelmed.

Eddie got a letter to a mysterious school a few months ago and thought it was a prank letter from Henry Bowers or something so he ignored it. He started getting more letters so he decided to tell his best friend; Stanley Uris.

Stanley Uris  jumped when he found out. "What wrong, Stanley? Why are you so flustered?" Eddie asked. "I've wanted to tell you this for a while but- I'm a wizard." Stanley said. Eddie snorted with laughter. "Is this a Jewish thing?" He chuckled. "No, I'm going to a wizarding school this term and so are you because you got the letter too!" Stanley said. Eddie laughed again. "Are you and Henry Bowers teaming up to prank me?" He asked. "Eddie." Stanley said seriously. "You're not joking?" Eddie asked. He thought Stanley was a bit odd but he didn't know he was a mental patient. "I know this is hard to believe, but it's true." Stanley said. "My parents are wizards and maybe your Dad was one too." Eddie ignored the lump forming in his throat at the mention of his Dad. Eddie knew it was crazy but he believed Stanley. He was no liar. "Okay, Stan." He said.

Stanley spent ages telling Eddie about Hogwarts Houses, Diagon Alley, Quidich, Magic, Wearwolves, Boggarts, Chocolate Frogs and almost everything to do with the wizarding world. "Who's 'It who must not be named'?" Asked Eddie. Stanley froze. "A Boggart gone rouge, it normally takes the form of a clown." He said. "What!?" Eddie exclaimed. "Yeah, It goes away every 27 years though." Stanley said. "Huh," Said Eddie. "What's It's name?" Stanley shivered. "You can't say it out loud." Eddie frowned. "Why not?" He asked. "Because, The curse was used during the Second Wizarding War. During said war, saying It's name was made Taboo and therefore used as a means of capturing members of the Order of the Phoenix, whom the Death Eaters believed to be the only ones to dare to speak it." Stanley replied. "Wow," Eddie said. "You did your research. "Write it down then, Stanley." Said Eddie handing him a piece of paper. "Fine." Stanley said giving in.

P E N N Y W I S E

"Pennywise?" Eddie asked. Stanley's eyes widened. "Eddie!" He yelled. "Calm down, Staniel." Eddie said. Stanley rolled his eyes.

"What am I going to tell my Mom?" Eddie asked. "She'll never let me go." Stanley sighed. "Come with us tomorrow to the airport," Stanley said. "We're buying School Supplies and then Staying in London until it's time to go to the train station." Eddie shrugged. He didn't like his mom and always wanted to get away so this wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. "Okay Stan."

Eddie wrote a note to his mother explaining his disappearance.

Hi Mommy,
I'm sorry for my sudden disappearance and I know this might come as a shock, but I've gone to a boarding school for a while. I'll return for the Summer.
Eddie.

Eddie packed his clothes, inhaler and various other items.

Stan's parents welcomed Eddie. They drove to the airport and eventually got on a plane to London. Stanley and Eddie made jokes and giggled throughout the plane ride.

The Leaky Cauldron. "Huh?" Thought Eddie as they entered the bar. He followed Stanley and his Parents as they walked towards what appeared to be a brick wall. They tapped some secret code on the wall and it opened. Eddie's jaw dropped in amazement. "Definitely not a prank." He said. He looked around at the weirdly dressed people, who were frolicking to and forth around the different shops. "Maybe your dad has an account at Gringots." Stanley said as they walked towards the weird bank in the distance. "Yeah, maybe." Eddie said taking a puff of his inhaler. He was overwhelmed. They entered the bank to see strange goblins on each side of the bank. Eddie clenched onto Stan's sleeve. "For Mr. Kaspbrak." Mr Uris said ushering Eddie in front of him. The Goblin nodded leading The family to a strange roller coaster thing. They placed themselves in the rollercoaster and it zoomed past vaults. Eddie screamed and closed his eyes. The goblin gave him a dirty look. They finally reached the vault. "Mr. Edward Kaspbrak." The goblin said unlocking the vault. Eddie peered inside at the thousands of golden and silver coins. Mrs Uris gasped. "You're Rich, Eds!" Stanley said.

The Uris Family and Eddie went around to the different shops. He bought a uniform, lots of books and some sweets. They entered the pet shop. Eddie looked around at the different animals. A rat. Ew. Stanley bought an Owl. He loved birds. Eddie heard noises from outside the back of the pet shop. When Stanley wasn't looking Eddie slipped out the back. He entered an alley. It wasn't like Diagon Alley, it was much darker and filled with smoke. He heard barks coming from the alley. He followed them to see a little Pomeranian shivering in a cage. Eddie kicked open the cage. He picked up the dog and stroked her. Suddenly a Leper emerged from the smoke. Puss emerged from its pores and it was very beaten up. "You want some pills with that." It croaked. Eddie screamed. Picking up the puppy, he ran back inside the Pet Shop. "Eddie, are you okay?" Asked Stanley. "Yeah, I'm fine..I um." He shivered. "Aww, a puppy!" Said Stanley holding back his Owl as it tried to snap at the poor dog. "Let's go get our wands now." Said Stanley exiting the pet shop. Eddie followed. "What's the dog's name?" Asked Stanley. Eddie contemplated. "Hm," He paused. "Spaghetti." Stanley giggled. "That's cute." A red haired girl stopped in her tracks. "Hey," she said. "You two went to my school." Stanley waved. "Oh, hi, Beverly ." He said. "Stanley! And..Eddie, is it?" Beverly asked. Eddie nodded frantically. "Beverly Marsh." She said shaking the boys hand and rubbing the Pomeranian. She turned her attention to Stanley. "Yeah I found out my Mom was a wizard and so was my Aunt, so when I moved in with her she told me." Beverly said. Stan nodded not knowing how to respond. "Oh yeah,that's right, your dad was killed, I'm sorry for your loss." Eddie said remembering the name Marsh from the Newspaper. Beverly smiled. "Don't be sorry." She said. "I'll see you two at Hogwarts." She said before rushing off towards the pet shop. Stanley giggled.

The two entered Olivander's Wand Shop. "Ah, Mr. Uris, Mr. Kapsbrak!" Said an old man fixating his eyes on Eddie. Eddie gave Stanley a look as to say "how does he know our names?" And Stanley shrugged. "Olivander know's everything."
Olivander slid across on his ladder and picked out to boxes. He placed them on the table. "Mr. Uris, for you I have an Apple Wood with Unicorn Hair Core." He said opening one of the Boxes and giving it to Stanley. "Try it out, boy." He said in his strong English accent. Stanley waved it around creating a small figure of light. Eddie and Stanley gasped. "Wow."
"And for you Mr. Kaspbrak, Willow Wood." He said handing the small boy a beautifully carved wand. Eddie waved the wand creating a swirl of light. "Woah!" Said Stanley. "Thanks Mr. Olivander, sir." Said Eddie paying for his wand he added it to his trolley. "See ya later!" Stanley said running out of the shop and Eddie followed. "Americans." Olivander muttered.

"Hey, it's okay." Said Stanley. Eddie looked away from the window and smiled at Stanley. "Thanks, Stan."
