"Luna.....Luna.....Luna wait!" I called out to my best friend, Luna Lovegood.

"There you are Adelaide. I was a bit worried that Hables had gotten you since they've been spotted in the area recently according to my sources. You should really wear the charm I got you, it'd protect you from them. After all, you know a Hable has dangerous poison in its buck teeth," Luna said rather seriously.

"It's in my jewelry box somewhere, I'll fetch it out after I unpack in my dorm."

After I said that, a group of Hufflepuff boys passed and one knocked me over. Luna helped me get up, and the boy looked at me and laughed, then ran after his friends.

"Are you alright Addie? That must've given you quite a scare." Luna looked at me with some concern, but I assured her I was alright, and I probably only got a small bruise or scratch.

"Why don't we head to the carriages? My luggage is a bit heavier this year now that I got a cat. He won't stop meowing and is clawing at his luggage door, which was a LOAD of money by the way Zippy!"
Zippy immediately stopped clawing at the door after my sudden raise of voice.

"I'm sure Zippy will become quite acquainted with the castle soon,"said Luna, "After all, the cats in my dorm room always love to eat the food the house elves supply them during the day."

"You're right Luna. Zippy is always eating back at the house, he's probably hungry. I believe I have some cat treats somewhere in my pockets."

"No worries Addie, I always carry some around with me. The Threstrals love all kinds of food I bring them, especially pet treats, so I keep some handy with me at all times." Luna handed some to Adelaide.
"Eat up Zip, you won't have food until after I get back to my dorm and unpack." I gave Zippy the cat treats and he ate them in just a few seconds.
"I'd say it's time to go to the carriages, we don't want to be late to the sorting ceremony and the dinner." I said in a rushed tone.

Luna and I then walked to the an empty carriage, the last one actually, and loaded our luggage on.
"Would you like the latest edition of the Quibbler?," said Luna, "We have a fascinating article about Weebles that just came out."

"Weebles?," I said in a curious voice, "What are Weebles?"

"They're a kind of small gerbil like rodent that likes to feed on gummy candy. Once they eat gummies, they'll change colors of the color of gummy they ate." Luna said.

"How peculiar. Where did you spot one?" I asked.

"I saw a purple one but it got away. My father said he used to train them and told me all about them and what they looked like." Luna said rather excitedly.

"You just have to show me one whenever you find one then! We could give it some of the gummies that Honeydukes sells!" I exclaimed.

"Such an enthusiastic soul you have Addie. You'd probably attract some Earks with your personality. They like things that are exciting, especially exciting people."

Luna went on about Earks and other magical creatures she and her dad had seen and discovered during their summer break in Asia. Eventually we got to the castle and by then she had finished talking about these dark green tiger like creatures called Kammicks that live in Asia.

"Look Addie, we've arrived!" Luna was practically standing up in the carriage trying to get a good glimpse of the castle.

"Woah, be careful there. One small bump and you're going to be sitting on the ground instead of sitting on the carriage." I quickly grabbed Lunas arm to pull her down before she could fall.

A few moments later we rode over some rocks, and I looked at her with my "I-Told-You-So" glance.
We pulled into the castle grounds a few minutes later and unloaded our luggage onto the cart that the elves would take to our dorms.
