Cherry and I walked outside. She talked all about Bally Wardens. Apparently she's the school messenger. She takes all mail coming in, and makes sure everything going out gets to its destination. She never mentioned anything about how we were getting to the train station though.
''All right, are you ready?'' She smirked.
''Ready for what..?'' I asked.
Cherry waved her hands over us, and suddenly this shimmering substance formed around us. It looked like a large, sparkly bubble. The world around us started spinning and I got nauseous, Cherry looked like this was totally normal. All of a sudden we were in a different place, a house.
''Welcome to my flat. Make yourself comfy for now.'' she said, warming.
I looked around a bit. The place seemed normal for the most part, besides all of her little trinkets. Some did dances, some acted things out. There was one really cool snow globe that continuously snowed no matter what.
''What time is it?'' I asked.
''I'd say about six thirty-ish'' she said, picking more trinkets off of the floor and putting them on shelves.
''But it was only three when we left?'' I said.
''Ah yes, but bubble travel takes time.'' Cherry said. Hmm bubble travel...
''Hmm.. Oh, I have just one question.'' I said.
''Just one?'' we exchanged friendly smiles.
''It might sound really dumb to you but, if wizards really do exist, then did Harry Potter exist?'' I hope I didn't sound too dumb.
''Oh yes, except the real story is a little different. Like for one his name is really Harold Parrot.'' she said, enthusiastically.
For awhile we talked all about the real Harold Parrot, then Cherry took me to get school supplies. We got so many books. Oh, and I also got a wand. It was about eight inches long, and it had a hint of purple in it.
Then Cherry remembered about the train. We used bubble travel again, and found ourselves in a train station. Cherry pushed and pulled bricks from a wall, then said something like 'Yahad Shorn' whatever that meant. And POOF a door appeared. We walked through to find, none other than, another train station! Much smaller but still.
"And this, would be the train station to Bally Wardens!" she announced.
"Did nobody just see that?" I asked, very confused.
"Not unless there were wizards in the train station. You see this part of the train station is enchanted, no mortal can see what we just did." Cherry explained.
"Oh, cool." I said.
As we waited for the train to arrive, more and more wizards showed up. Cherry and I talked more about Harold Parrot.
After thirty minutes of waiting the train finally showed up. Everyone boarded on, even Cherry. I guess she has to get to Bally somehow.
The train was pretty big. On either sides were compartments. Each had seats in either sides and a table in between. On the outside was little sliding doors with windows that opened from the inside. Cherry had to sit in the staff section leaving me by myself. I picked an empty seat.
The train became really crowded with students. Eventually a girl had to sit next me, and two boys on the other side. As the girl sat down she said;
''Hey, my name is Brooke, you look new...''
''Uh, I am new.'' I said.
''Hmm.. sure you didn't go to the pre-year last year?'' Brooke asked.
''....pre-year...?'' I said.
''Guess you didn't, well anyways I'm Brooke Butler, and this is Preston and Brandon.'' she said, pointing to the boys sitting across from us.
They all looked at me, expectingly. ''Oh!'' I face palmed, ''I'm Amanda Bradford, sorry.'' I'm so dumb sometimes.
''I'm really excited for the sorting. I just hope I get put in the same group as my friends, y'know?'' I think the boy named Preston said.
''Yeah, I hope I get sorted into the fire catagory, that would be so cool!'' Brandon said. ''Shooting fire and stuff!''
''I hate to burst your bubble but, that's not allowed at Bally.'' Brooke said.
''What are all of the categories?'' I asked.
''Hmm... well there's fire, water & ice, morph and-'' Brooke got cut off by an announcement saying that we were on our way, and to get situated.
I was so excited that we were finally heading off to Bally. All through the ride there Brooke, Preston, Brandon, and I talked all about it. I never knew how much fun something like this could be.
