Snippet #2625991

9:57AM, Hogwarts Express

(So, I could not help but notice something, which has resulted in some plot development)

Joshua looked out the window again, and for a moment, he thought he saw two or three figures, following the train. But, the train was moving so fast, and cloaked with magic, so how could that be possible? Plus, whatever he thought he saw was gone now. He looked over to Sao anyways. "You see anything out there? Could have swore I just did....but, it seems to be gone now".

Before anything else could be said, the cart came by and offered them some things. Joshua asked for a newspaper, and knowing he was out of his grandfather's earshot, some chocolate frogs, a Rosecrystal Snack, and some Every Flavor Beans. "Oh yeah, this is the jackpot right here!" His grandfather would say all of this was "Below the status of a prominent pure blood family".

"Our keepers would hate us to eat any of this" Joshua said as he passed her a chocolate frog before eating one himself. "Freedom tastes sweet, I would say". Joshua refered to her mother and his grandfather collectively as keepers. As he ate some more chocolate, he looked out the window to see anything moving. He was so sure he had something.

At that point, the train started to pick up speed as they sped towards Hogwarts. Joshua looked at the newspaper, and on the front it read "Pure blood haters Wizard group escapes Azkaban. Wereabouts unknown". Joshua was a bit shocked, but that prison had dropped the ball repeatedly over the years. Supposedly it was inescapable, but people had escaped several times over the decades. But what were the chances they would strike Hogwarts, the most well protected and defended place anyways? If anything, they would be safer at Hogwarts then literally any other location.

Right?

(Sorting hat will come in the next post, just a forewarning)
