The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors
"Hello, my name is Holly, are your parents in?" the woman asked a smile plastered across her face.
Jenna nodded her head and shouted "Mom, dad, its for you! I'm heading out." before turning back to Holly and smiling. "They will be here in just a moment. Would you like to come inside? I have someplace to be so if you will just excuse me...."
Holly smiled at her and shook her head. "I need to speak to both you and your parents Jennifer." The woman held out a parchment envelope with Jenna's name on it. "This is for you, I am a teacher at your new school."
Jenna was quite taken aback. She didn't know her parents had enrolled her in a new school, and since when did teachers make house calls? She hesitantly took the envelop and opened it, reading the contents that followed. Soon her mother and father were next to her, reading over her shoulder and their mouths dropped open. All of them had thought they had magical abilities, but they had no idea there would be a school that taught one how to control it. The stared at the woman at the door for several moments before the reality of the situation set in.
"Won't you please come in," Jenna's mother said, being the first to recover from the shock and pushing her husband and daughter aside so Holly would be able to walk in.
"Thank you, as I told your daughter my name is Holly, I am a teacher at Hogwarts USA and I am here to explain everything to you and answer any questions you may have." The woman strode through the door, her broom stick earrings tingling like little bells. And following Jenna's father the group made their way to the living room where Caleb was playing quietly with blocks on the floor. Well, levitating the blocks was more like and seeing his abilities Holly said "I see you have a very talented family. My being here must make some sort of sense to you. I have to say this isn't the first house I have visited and you are the only family so far that has any clue about magic."
"Yes, we... er.... had an idea that is. My wife and I have always been able to do extra ordinary things and as you can see our children inherited our gifts, we had no idea there was a school that taught about it though...." His voice slowly faded out as Jenna's father took a seat opposite Holly on the families love seat, his wife sat next to him and Jenna sat on his lap.
"Yes well, there wasn't before now, at least not in the United States, Europe has had a school for several centuries called Hogwarts where many generations of witches and wizards have learned to control their abilities."
Holly spent the next hour explaining Hogwarts USA, the cruise ship that would take Jenna to the school and answered all the families questions. She left through the fireplace with a powder known as "Floo" and was gone through the flames in no time. "This is so cool!" Jenna squealed and completely forgetting about her previous engagement ran upstairs to pack her bags.
Soon the day arrived and Jenna stood looking up at the huge white ship that was to take her to Hogwarts USA. She hadn't been able to sleep the night before, she had been so excited about the fact that she would be traveling to New York and taking a ship ride for the first time in her life. Hugging her mother, father and brother she checked her baggage at the appropriate point and boarded with a large number of other students. She saw Holly on the deck and made her way over to her smiling. Holly gave Jenna her room number and a introduction packet and Jenna made her way down the inside hallway to a small suite. She was to share the room with two other girls and it was quite an extraordinary room. She was the first one to arrive so she went to the bedroom with her name on it, unpacked her suitcase... she was going to be here for three nights so why not unpack? And quickly made her way back to the top of the deck. There were tons of students walking around, some were talking to each other and others were glaring at each other. Everyone seemed a bit uneasy about the entire situation and Jenna wondered if any of them had known about magic before being accepted into the school.
She made her way over to the railing and waved at her parents as the boat took off, she was going to miss her father, mother and brother a lot but had been assured owls would be available to send back and forth. She also had her computer to work with, although Holly had said something about electronics not always working around magic she hoped to find a way to make it work. Once her parents were out of sight, Jenna made her way to the pool and sat down in one of the empty chairs starring around her at wide variety of people aboard the ship and wondering what sort of friends she would make and what her life would be like now that she had magic.
Scinate was to do the dogs. He looked at the scar on his right hand and then went to the dogs who were still sleeping. Scinate opened the cages as he was holding the bag of dog food. He filled each bowl with dog food and the other bowl with water. Each dog had two bowls, one for food and the other for water. The oldest dog, a German Shepard, woke up and greeted him with a lick. He smiled and patted the dog. He then patted the other dogs as they woke up too and all greeted him. He left the cages after that to work on the land with his grandfather.
As an hour passed, they stopped, hearing grandmother call. They looked at each other and went back inside, cleaning the shoes just before they went inside, not wanting to dirty the house. They sat down in the kitchen and found a strange woman walking in. They looked at each other hesitantly as the woman took place on a chair and smiled at them.
''Hello. My name is Sariet.'' She looked at Scinate. He looked at her and nodded silently, waiting for his grandparents to answer her. His grandmother did, ''Hello. I am Betty and this is my husband Bert,'' she said, pointing at Bert before continuing, ''and this is Scinate. He is our grandson.'' The woman named Sariet nodded. ''I already knew who Scinate was,'' she said as she handed over a piece of parchment with his name on it. Betty took it and started reading it out loud, soon, they were silent.
Scinate looked at the woman, not knowing why she would think he could do magic. He was just an ordinary boy that worked on the lands with his grandfather and did some karate. He didn't go to school because they couldn't pay for that so his grandmother and grandfather taught him. ''But, I can't do any magic..'' he said softly, looking at his grandparents, then remembering the bird that he turned into a frog.
''Yes you can. You turned a bird into a frog once, remember. That was magic my dear boy.'' They sat there the whole morning as it was all explained, Scinate just not believing his ears. Then the woman left, and Scinate was silent for the rest of the day that followed, thinking about it.
Soon the day arrived and Scinate woke up early, as usual. He had no idea if his grandparents would be alright with him leaving and he had asked them a thousand times, they just nodded and smiled, not saying a word at all. He opened his eyes and looked around. He was going to miss his room, and the animals. He quickly went downstairs and ate his breakfast before checking on the animals. First the dogs, kissing each and everyone one of them goodbye. Then the horses, doing the same with them. He smiled, seeing the foal of yesterday, already standing. He kissed the foal and the mother. He stroke her gently and smiled sadly. He then went to the cows and leaded them to the place where they could eat. He went back inside and got his luggage. Then, with his grandparents went away.
They arrived early and Scinate was surprised by the big ship. He looked at his grandparents and a few tears appeared in his eyes. He hugged them and kissed them goodbye and went aboard. He went to the woman who gave room numbers and took his number before putting all his stuff in his room and going back to the rail. He waved them goodbye before turning around and looking at the rest. He saw a girl - Jenna - and cocked his head. She seemed happy, he seemed sad. He sighed and went to search for a place of his own, letting it sink in once more that he would be gone for so long. He already missed his grandparents but he had to see the bright side, maybe this was his chance to discover who he really was. He sat down on a bench somewhere and took out a small book, started reading it in silence. He always enjoyed reading book, and it made him calm. He could forget about his grandparents and find out who he was. Maybe he was some powerful wizard, or just a wizard. Whatever he was, this could be a great chance for him, to make some new friends, learn some new things and eventually go home again to tell his grandparents about all this and show them what he had learned there.
She wondered into her room and looked around at the four poster bed, warm looking sheets and bedding and thought about taking a nap but quickly decided against it when she saw a pamphlet on the dresser full of activities and itineraries. She hungrily read through the booklet and decided to head back onto the main deck until supper time. It said that the "sorting ceremony" would take place at dinner on the final evening and until that time the students should intermingle as much as possible with one another because it didn't matter what house you were sorted into, so long as you grew in your character and abilities while at the school. She pondered over this statement as she was greeted again by the sunlight on deck. She had heard a little bit about Hogwarts from the diary of an old ancestor her mother had stumbled across up in the attic. There were four houses Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Gryfindoor. Each one looked for certain traits in prospective students to place in houses. She wondered which one she would be in, and from the descriptions hoped vaguely for Slytherin although Gryfindoor wouldn't be too bad either. Whichever house would help her get further ahead was the one she wanted. Now that she knew of her "Magical" abilities she had big plans for her future. Very big plans. The first order of business however was to make some new friends. Her muggle friends were great and all, but they were muggles. They would never be able to understand magic or the responsibilities involved in having it so she needed to find magical friends. Even if they were in different houses through the school years she needed to make connections and fast. As her father always told her, connections are the way little people made it to big places.
Jenna glanced around the deck, there were so many people to choose from it was hard to begin. She saw a group of students by the pool where she had been earlier so she thought that would be the place to start. They were all whispering amongst themselves excitedly and Jenna could tell in a glance that several of them had known each other for a good number of years. Maybe they weren't the best place to start. It would be hard to establish herself in an already established bond of friendship. She veered to her left and made her way to the railing where a group of girls were talking and giggling like mad. She was close enough to catch the tail end of their conversation and shuddered in disgust as she herd the name "Justin Beiber". Definitely not the group she wanted to involve herself in. Not that there was anything wrong with him as a person she supposed but his music just was not her style. Soon enough Jenna stood on her own in a vast sea of people. She had never had this much trouble forming friendships in the past. Perhaps she was just being overcautious, she thought to herself, not wanting to form the wrong alliance and screw over her future career. Jenna caught a person sitting on a bench by themselves and made her way over. It was a boy her age reading a book of some sort. She walked up over to him and tried to see what book he was reading. "Hello" she said in a sing song voice, wondering how to approach him. "Um, do you mind if I sit here?" she asked indicating to the empty spot on the bench next to him. The boy seemed to be quiet and reserved, maybe its just because he was wrapped up in the book, or maybe she was just judging before she really got to know him. Both were quite possible as it was what happened to her quite often, judging someone before they had a chance to show their true colors. She knew she would have to work on that in the future and smiled as she sat down when the boy nodded his head. Well, this was awkward. She thought to herself and sat in the uncomfortable silence glancing around the deck and wishing at least one of her friends had also been born with magical abilities.
He smiled, looking back at her. He had never seen people which such nice cloths, or any of this anyway. He was just used to a small house, and working on the land, not this. It seemed so fancy, and although he knew manners and had manners, he wasn't sure if the woman had been right. Maybe it was just an accident, that he turned the bird into a frog. Maybe he didn't know any magic, was just a normal Muggle child, but maybe he was a powerful wizard, and would find that out here. He wasn't sure of it though, he didn't seem magical at all. He just seemed a normal boy that didn't belong here between all those children who had all those fancy cloths and he only cloths he worked on the lands with. He heard his grandmother in his head as he thought back to what she said. ''Are you sure you don't want any new cloths? Further in town is a small shop you know, we can always look there for some new pair of jeans and a few T-shirts. Don't worry about the money, that will be fine,'' his grandmother had said with a smile. Scinate had just shook his head. He smiled at that thought, his grandparents had been sad the few days before leaving, they even cried a few times. He actually had wanted to stay but they had said no and wanted him to go. He missed them.
He looked back at Jenna, wondering what she was thinking about. Maybe she was glad to be away from home, to make some new friends. Maybe she had already known that she was magical and that she could use spells and such. He had never known, he was just a normal Muggle child. ''So...'' he said, looking at her. ''I am Scinate,'' he said, scratching the back of his head. ''Uhm... Who are you?'' he asked softly, not knowing what else to say, feeling a bit homesick too. He had never been away from his home, and never so far away or so long. He had never thought he needed to leave him family. He had always thought he would help them with the land until they would have passed away and than continue working on the land. Continue to work the lands like he had always done. Even though he would be working alone from than on. He always hoped it would be that way, that he didn't have to leave his family, or his animals. He had named each and every cow, horse and dog and he loved them with his whole heart. He had never thought he had to miss them, and especially not for so long. He sighed and shook his head, losing his thoughts of home.
But, maybe this was a great chance to make some friends. This was his first school he was attending to, so he could make some new friends he could write when he was back home again. And, maybe she was his first friend. Maybe she turned out to be his first friend, and maybe she could tell him a bit about this. He had never heard of magic, or schools for magic. He had never thought it actually existed, but with the magic, there must also be magical creatures. He had heard about such creatures, just never thought they'd actually existed. It all seemed to go so fast, and he hardly knew anything, or knew what to do. 'What if this is indeed all real? Would those fairy tails be true too, or those stories about Vampires and werewolves? No, that's impossible right?' he asked himself, thinking about it. Maybe it was true though, every single bit of it, and he would discover it soon enough, with the lessons on the school. He was also curious about the Sorting Hat. He had never heard of a hat thinking on its own and choosing on his own. It seemed to strange, how a hat could think on its own and making a decision on its own, it just seemed impossible. How could a hat think on its own and decide on its own?
He sighed, shaking his head again, losing the questions. He would wonder about them later and than see what to do. He looked back at Jenna, waiting silently for what she had to say. He was curious about her name, and where she came from with all those fancy cloths she had. Maybe she lived in some big city, that was probably, he didn't see her living somewhere far away from a city, she didn't seem to. She seemed just that girl that lived in the big city and had always a lot of people around her. He smiled, waiting.
Remembering Scinate had asked her name she looked up at him and gave a big smile as she said "My name is Jennifer, but you can call me Jenna." He wore hand me down clothing it seemed, ratty jeans and a faded t-shirt. Her clothing was still in excellent shape. It wasn't that her family was rich so much as well off. They always had a little bit of extra cash lying around for fun little things or a trip. She was wearing her orange Tye dye t-shirt again along with a pair of skinny jeans and an orange pair of converse. Her hair was in spiky bun/pony's on top of her head and she was wearing a stretchy choker. She examined the chipped paint on her nails and made a mental note to re-do them to an orange or pink shade later, depending on her mood this evening.
"So, have you been to your room yet?" She asked, curious as to what the boys quarters were like or if he had met any of his roommates. "I have been to mine twice but no roommates have shown up yet. I wish they would though, ya know? I would really love to meet them. Did you know you could do magic? It was a shock for me, well sorta, my parents just thought we were extremely talented Wiccan's. My little brother can do magic too. Did a witch or wizard visit your house? We had a witch named Holly, she was passing out room assignments earlier. I really like her, but then again she was wearing my favorite color when we first met." Jenna took a deep breath trailing off. Wow, she just talked a lot, like way to much. This boy was going to think she was crazy if she didn't real herself in. She was curious about him though, who he was and what his family and home life was like. She pegged him as a country boy almost immediately. He had the look of someone who did actual work. She had never really been to the country, she just lived in a small town in a nice house by the woods but it wasn't country. Jenna looked at her shoes and moved them back and forth for a while before looking up again and smiling. Maybe Scinate and her would be friends, maybe not. Who knew what the future would hold. She wondered if he would answer her questions or if she had scared him away with all her babbling. Oh well, only one way to find out and that was to wait patiently for his answer. So she waited looking everywhere but at him except for occasional glances his way.
''Yes, I've been to my room but no one was there,'' he said, thinking about her questions. ''I never knew I could do magic. I am just a farm boy really. I lived with my grandparents on a farm. I don't really know my parents and if they could do magic. I've always been just a simple farm boy, working on the lands with my grandparents,'' he said, thinking back if he could remember his parents. He couldn't, he had just no idea who they were, he had always lived with his grandparents. He thought back at another question. ''Did a witch or wizard visit your house?'' He thought about that and nodded. ''Yes, atleast, I think she was a witch, I am not sure though but I guess she was. It was a total shock to me that I could do magic. I had turned a bird into a frog but I thought that was just some weird dream or accident. I never thought it was actual magic I did.'' He looked at her and smiled.
He looked at his book and noticed it had fallen. He picked it up and looked at the page that was open, it was about dogs. He smiled, a bit sadly, as he remembered his own dogs, especially the really old one, he hoped she would be alright. She was an old dog and had been a bit sick lately so he worried about her a lot. And than the horse with the new foal, he hoped they would be alright too and that nothing would go wrong, like that the foal would get sick. He absolutely didn't want anything happening to them. And than his grandparents, he hoped they would be alright too. They seemed sad when he stepped on the big ship and he could understand that, he was sad too about leaving. He never thought he would leave them for this. But, they had wanted him to go so badly, he just couldn't say no to them.
''I guess your somewhere from a town, atleast it seems like that,'' he said, smiling at her as he looked at her. He closed the book and looked back at her. ''Looks pretty such cloths. I only have torn cloths really, from working on the land and caring for the animals and such. I hope the old dog will be alright, she was sick lately, but she is an old dog so...'' Scinate trailed off and looked down, hoping she wouldn't die when he was gone. He wanted to say goodbye to her if she would leave, not visit her grave without saying goodbye. He shook his head.
''Oh, and the mare of course, with her foal. I hope they'll be alright, but I think they will,'' he said, looking back at her. ''And than the cows, I hope my grandfather will be alright with doing that all alone, he's quite old you know. They seemed so sad when I stepped onto the ship,'' he said softly, looking down at the book. He sighed and smiled faintly at Jenna. She seemed nice though, kind, he wasn't sure but she seemed that way, maybe she would be his friends, his first friend, and he hoped so. Than he would have a friend for the first thing in her life.
She found her door, pulled out her key, and stepped inside. There were two girls occupying the room, one wearing all pink fluffy frilly clothing and the other in jeans and a turtleneck sweater. The one in pink had long golden blonde hair curled perfectly around her face and held back from her eyes by a strand of ribbon. Jenna decided immediately she did not care for her. The one in the turtleneck had dark skin, black hair and glasses. She reminded Jenna of the geeky girls from television. The girl who looked geeky stood up from the couch she was sitting on and gave Jenna a small wave which Jenna returned by nodding her head. The girl in pink just looked at her, took in the orange tye dye and converse, popped her bubblegum and returned to reading her magazine. Jenna really did not like her.
"Don't mind Ivy" the girl in the sweater said stepping a little closer. "My name is Fern, Fern Sterling. It's nice to meet you Jenna. Sorry I read your name tag on the door and figured since Ivy was already here that you must be Jenna." The girl fidgeted where she stood and started picking the nail polish off her short nails.
"Nice to meet you Fern, and it's no problem I don't mind." Jenna smiled back and joined Fern on the couch. The two talked for a while about different things, they had quite a bit in common, both having younger siblings although Fern had a sister named Willow. Fern had known a little bit about the magical community because she had a cousin who lived in England and attended the Hogwarts school there. All too soon the dinner bell chimed and Jenna stood up with Ivy and Fern and together they walked to the dining hall following the large crowd of girls.
The dining hall was quite grand and had tons of small circular tables that seated a total of ten students each. Jenna and Fern sat at a table in the center followed unfortunately by Ivy who crossed her arms haughtily. It was clear she hadn't made any friends yet. Scinate hadn't entered the hall yet so Jenna talked animatedly with Fern looking around for him the entire time, finally he entered and Jenna waved him over, smiling and pointing to the empty seat beside her. It was clear that the "teachers" sitting at a long table at the front wanted to give a speech about something during the evening and Jenna waited with anticipation for it to start. Wondering just what else would be revealed about this new and magical world.
He looked at the doors, trying to find the one where he needed to be. It took him quite a while, he wasn't used to such a big places, he only knew small places really. When he found his room, he laid his hand on the doorknop and turned it slowly, than opened the door and silently peeked in. He saw one boy, and another boy as he opened the door further. He smiled slightly at them and walked in, closed the door behind him and sat on his bed. One boy seemed awfully spoiled, he seemed to have everything he wanted and yet he seemed to want more. The other was a fat boy, who also seemed awfully spoiled and only seemed to care for eating. He was eating something, though Scinate couldn't make what it was for it seemed to look disgusting. The skinny boy waved at him, Scinate nodded silently. ''So, who are you? Are you Scinate?'' the fat boy asked. Scinate nodded silently. ''You don't seem to have money, are you a farm boy?'' the rich boy asked. Scinate nodded again and felt slightly uncomfortable with them and all their questions. The two boys started laughing at him and Scinate narrowed his eyes, staying calm with some breathing techniques. They could do whatever they wanted, he wasn't going to let them ruin his year at his first ever school.
Scinate found a blouse, it looked quite nice, and a bit of a nicer pants and got them on so he would look a bit more normall and wouldn't look like the boy with no money at all. He laid his book on the shelf above him and went out the room, feeling more hungry then ever. He had no idea what he would get for dinner, but he didn't expect much, he didn't get much at his house anyway, so why here? Well, this does seem to be for quite a lot of people a luxury so maybe they did have quite a lot of food, he wasn't sure though.
He heard the two boys of his room following him and turned around to look at him. ''What is it that you want?'' he asked politely, looking at the two boys who smirked. He narrowed his eyes as the fat boy offered him a bar of something. ''You must be hungry with such a poor family,'' he said and laughed a bit. The other boy nodded and offered him some bread but Scinate shook his head and looked at them. ''I may not be as rich and spoiled as you, but I, atleast, know what I want and know what I have to do. I atleast know how to work without any magic,'' he said and turned around again, then walked away from them.
The fat boy growled irritated and grabbed the shoulder of Scinate. Scinate stopped, grabbed the hand and removed it, not wanting to make the blouse he had dirty. The rich boy grabbed the sleeve of the blouse and yanked Scinate back. Scinate sighed and moved his hand, then quickly seemed to smash the hand of the rich boy away. ''Goodbye,'' he said and left, heading for the dining hall after the boys had slowed him down, Jenna must be wondering where he was right now, maybe she was holding a spot for him empty and he was only making her wait longer and longer. He noticed the rich and the fat boy and already torn the blouse a bit and sighed, but left on his way to the dining room.
He finally entered and looked around for where Jenna was. He saw her with some other girls but smiled as he saw the empty spot beside her. He made his way towards her and sat down on the empty spot, looking at the other girls with a polite smile before looking at Jenna, feeling a bit ashamed of his torn cloths he had. He sighed and looked at her with a faint smile as he explained whispering what had happened between him and his roommates.
After explaining, he looked at the other girls and than at the long table with the ''teachers'' and became completely silent, waiting for whatever they had to say, making himself ready for quite some information and shocks he might get. He wasn't surprised quickly but now, after he had heard he was a wizzard, he had been in for quite some shocks and he knew he would be more shocked probably after dinner, for what he as about to hear would change his whole life, and had already changed his whole life completely.
"Welcome boys and girls to the cruise ship Hogwarts Express USA designated to take you to your new school. As you all know it will take three days to reach the island the school is located at and during that time you have your rooms and roommates that you are assigned to. On your third and final night, right before we reach the school, you will be sorted into your representative houses. There are four houses, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryfindoor, and Slytherin. Each one looks for particular traits in students. Based off your ages you have been assigned a "year" although since it is many of your first experiences with magic you will all be starting at the same level. The higher your year the more intensive your classes will be so you will catch up to the level of proficiency you should be at had you been born in a country that had a school for magic established already."
Holly paused and looked at all the students, a wide smile stretched across her face. Today she wore a bright orange flowing top and a pair of bell bottom jeans. Her clothing appeared to be taken directly from the sixties and Jenna held back the urge she had to giggle. All the witches and wizards it seemed didn't wear the proper clothing for the century. The hippie witch took a deep breath and continued her speech.
"My name is Holly, and I have met many of you already when I came to your house with your acceptance letter. Also, you may have noticed me today handing out welcoming packets on the above deck. I am the headmistress of the school and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. I would be more than happy to answer them along with the rest of your professors here at Hogwarts USA."
She went into a brief history on the school Hogwarts in England, its long history and how it was founded. Along with how witches and wizards had lived in hiding for centuries. She mentioned that further history would be taught in a designated class and that she didn't want to ruin too much of the fun. Then she moved to the agenda the ship held for the passengers. Breakfast lunch and dinner times, workshops and the like, just things the students could participate in to get a better feel for magic and their abilities that before may have been unknown to them. Jenna listened carefully to everything that Holly said, smiling and nodding her head. Then Holly finished and raised her hands saying "Now, without further ado, we eat!" and food appeared on all the tables magically. It was wonderful, there was so much to choose from, chicken and hot dogs and burgers and steaks and everything good. Potatoes and carrots and apples and oranges and rice and so many options. Jenna clapped her hands together and began to dish up. She started with a piece of barbequed chicken breast a couple scoops of potatoes and gravy, and piled on the vegetables. Once her plate was full she turned to Scinate and introduced him again to her roommates, repeated how sorry she was about his experience with his roommates and asked him what exactly happened in full detail and to point out who the perpetrators were. "Do you think you could maybe change rooms or something?" She wondered out loud "I can't imagine them forcing you to share a room with bullies." She ate between times of talking and wondered if the entire school consisted of overly privileged children and how to best use their natures to her advantage.
"Welcome boys and girls to the cruise ship Hogwarts Express USA designated to take you to your new school. As you all know it will take three days to reach the island the school is located at and during that time you have your rooms and roommates that you are assigned to.

The higher your year the more intensive your classes will be so you will catch up to the level of proficiency you should be at had you been born in a country that had a school for magic established already."
He looked up again as she smiled at them with a wide smile. He didn't really smile, but didn't show any other emotions either, just waited for the witch to continue.
"My name is Holly, and I have met many of you already when I came to your house with your acceptance letter. Also, you may have noticed me today handing out welcoming packets on the above deck. I am the headmistress of the school and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. I would be more than happy to answer them along with the rest of your professors here at Hogwarts USA."
He printed her name into his head and looked back at the table. Than he listened to the brief history of the school in England and frowned a bit. He had heard about that school before, just never knew it was a school for witches and wizards, always assumed it was a school for normal children, well, with some money atleast, just like this one. All the children here seemed to have some money, some a lot, some less but all more then he would ever have in his entire life. It didn't really bother him though, he was happy with his life and how it was going. He had never had a real family and was glad his grandparents were always there for him. And he missed them terribly, but he wouldn't show it, just would think about them and hope for the best that they were alright.
The witch continued with activities and other things. She told about the roommates and such, she told everything they needed to know. So much to remember, he wasn't sure about it. He'd never been to school before, and this was his first one, so he really wondered if he could handle it. He hoped so, and he would do his best for it, but he had little expiernce with all this. He sighed softly before looking back at the witch.
"Now, without further ado, we eat!" He looked at the table as food appeared and his eyes widend, his mouth was open as he couldn't believe it. Food didn't just appear on tables! He looked back at Holly, his mouth now shut and but his eyes just as amazed. He looked back at the table and then at the rest who didn't really seem to be surprised about the fact that food just appeared randomly on the tables. Maybe he shouldn't worry that much.
He watched Jenna eat with a smile before she questioned about the bullies, his roommates and the story in full detail. He sighed and looked at the food, taking just a piece of chicken and laid it on his plate. He nodded silently at her roommates as she introduced him again before closing his eyes and thinking back at the bullies.
''First of all, when I walked in, I saw a rich, skinny boy, and a rich fat boy, who was eating something that looked disgusting,'' he started, thinking back, before continuing, ''they asked who I was and asked if I was Scinate so I nodded. Then they asked if I had money before they started laughing.'' He opened his eyes and looked at Jenna who was eating. He closed his eyes again. ''They offered me food but I shook my head. I told them that I wasn't rich but atleast knew how to work. They got irritated and the fat boy took my shoulder. I removed his hand. Then the rich one took my sleeve and yanked me back, tearing the blouse. I left them after that and came here,'' he said, opening his eyes again and looking at Jenna. He took a bite of his chicken and it just tasted delicious. He ate it within matter of seconds, so hungry he was. He then cleaned his mouth and looked around the hall, trying to see if he could find the boys, only to be met by four eyes of his roommates. He looked back at Jenna and pointed at the two boys. ''I have no idea what their names are, but I'm not interested in that either,'' he said.
"Do you think you could maybe change rooms or something? I can't imagine them forcing you to share a room with bullies." Scinate thought about that and turned his head to look at the witch who had spoen earlier, but he would be too shy to ask. He looked back at Jenna and took some vegetables. ''I guess I can change rooms, but as I see, I'm the poorest I think. I think it wouldn't really matter, that they would bully me anyway. It doesn't really matter, Karate can always help me out if it really goes wrong. I'm just too shy to ask for an exchange of rooms really,'' he said honestly, taking a spoon and eating the vegetables. He smiled, feeling his hunger slowly going away. This was really nice, though he had to be carefull. If he would eat too much, his stomach would get upset and he would get ill, so he took another chickenbreast. He ate it and then stopped, deciding it would be enough and that he didn't want to get ill on his first day already. ''The food surely tasts nice. I've never had much food and it came really shocking that is just appeared,'' he said softly, watching her eat silently. ''I've never seen so much food...''
''I guess I can change rooms, but as I see, I'm the poorest I think. I think it wouldn't really matter, that they would bully me anyway. It doesn't really matter, Karate can always help me out if it really goes wrong. I'm just too shy to ask for an exchange of rooms really,'' Scinate said as he picked at his small serving.
"You know, I don't think you should really be all that much concerned with money. I mean look at everyone here, some people look really well off but maybe they have had terrible childhoods because of that wealth. You are a kind person from what I can tell, you really care about family from what you have told me, and you have been blessed with the incredible ability to perform magic. Something I thought hadn't existed before Holly up there came to my doorway and told me. Even though my parents suspected with me we had no solid evidence and thought we were going crazy!" She stopped briefly giving the boy in front of her a stead look. "Money doesn't matter, its your character that does and as far as I can tell you have a very rich character and those boys over there, have very poor character." Her gaze had followed his when he glanced at the boys and she had shown them a visible grimace.
''The food surely tasts nice. I've never had much food and it came really shocking that is just appeared,'' he said softly, watching Jenna eat. ''I've never seen so much food...''
Jenna nodded her head with vigor, the food really was delicious and she was loving every taste of the food on her tongue. "You should try some more, its really, really good!" She had noticed he didn't eat much and just as she sat back ready to be finished the food disappeared and was replaced by all sorts of sweets and desserts and good things. "Oh, my word." she said, her mouth falling open in wonder. She was already so stuffed from her dinner that she had to sit for a minute in stunned silence to process what she had seen.
When the main course had appeared in front of her she thought it was cool but it hadn't really phased her. Now that she had a full belly she was able to really sit back in awe at what she had seen. Food had literally appeared out of no where. One minute it was there, the next it wasn't. And then it disappeared and now in front of her face was just about every dessert imaginable. Her favorite cherry cobbler and pumpkin pie were sitting practically in front of her face and there was no way she was passing the opportunity of trying them. Piling a small slice of pie and cobbler onto her plate she ate slowly, savoring every last flavor that greeted her tongue. It was delicious. She wondered if the food was made out of magic or if they had five star chefs cooking for them. Whatever it was nothing she had ever had in her life could compare to the taste of the food she consumed now.
Jenna was lost in almost a daze before she brought back to earth with the last little bite of her dessert. If she had been full before she was stuffed now. She smiled at her new friends stretched before letting out an audible yawn. Covering her mouth as a way of apology she cast a glance at the other tables surrounding them. The hall really was filled with students and she was happy to see many friendships were already beginning to form. She was happy with hers so far and hoped to make many more as the days on the voyage to the school took place. It would not be nearly so frightening to be at a strange school of magic if she was surrounded by friends.
"So, what are you going to do about your rooming situation then? Stick it out and hope for the best? Maybe they will be more agreeable after they have had a full nights sleep, although if they continue to bully you I really do think that you should go and tell one of the staff so they could switch out rooms. Not all the boys could possibly be as horrible as those two." She nodded her head in the direction of his roommates and noticed they were looking at the table with scowls on their faces. She stuck her tongue out at them like the eleven year old she was and then flipped her head back to the attention of her table mates unconcerned any longer with the bully's.
The food dissapeared at once and dessserts appeared. He gasped and looked at it with wide eyes, he hadn't even seen any of these deserts before, well, not many. He always made potatoe cake but what was here, was much more then he could have ever imagined in his life. He looked around and noticed a small chocolate pie. He took a small slice and puts it in his mouth, eating it slowly, letting the tastes fill him. He rarely got chocolate so this was a real treat for him, and if it would be like this every evening. He heard his stomach growled and decided to stop eating.
He watched Jenna and saw she was enjoying it just as much as he was. He smiled faintly and looked at the deserts. ''This is wonderfull,'' he said, more to himself then to others actually, in a half whisper. He closed his eyes for a moment and prayed silently, then opened them again and sat back.
"So, what are you going to do about your rooming situation then? Stick it out and hope for the best? Maybe they will be more agreeable after they have had a full nights sleep, although if they continue to bully you I really do think that you should go and tell one of the staff so they could switch out rooms. Not all the boys could possibly be as horrible as those two."
Scinate looked at Jenna and then into the direction of the boys. He sighed and looked down, thinking of what to do about that problem. ''I'll stick it out and if it isn't better tomorrow, I'll report to the teachers, I guess.'' He looked at Jenna and then the teachers. He then took his last slice of chocolate pie and ate it silently. He took out a small book after he cleaned his hands and mouth and opened it. He looked through the pages until he stopped and smiled at it, watching the drawing of his grandfather in it. It looked really close to real and he had managed to draw that. He showed it to Jenna and smiled. ''That is my grandfather. He's old really but still as fit as when he was younger. He works mainly on the land and I help him. I also care for the animals that we have. About ten dogs, seven horses and a herd of cows and a few chickens.''
He looked through the pages again and stopped at the drawing of his grandmother. He showed it to Jenna again and smiled again. ''My grandmother is old too, but she too is quite fit though I started to notice that she was growing tired every day a bit more. She can cook very nice, maybe I can invite you some time if we have a break or something,'' he said and closed the book.
Scinate loved to draw really. He practised a lot and his grandmother and grandfather always loved the drawings he made. The dogs he drew a lot, and the horses and sometimes the cows or the chickens. He also tried to draw his grandparents a lot and they always loved it. It made his grandparents happy to see the drawings of him, and they always hoped they would keep drawing. He smiled as he thought of his grandparents. They had always been behind him and would always be behind him. He knew that. They loved him, and he loved them. And, when they would die, he would be sad of course, but for the time he could spend with them, he was thankful. He wouldn't really want to miss a day without his loving grandparents. He wouldn't want to miss one single hug of them.
He looked back up at Jenna and smiled.
Holly had stood up from the staff table and addressed the entire hall, wishing them a good nights rest and a bright and early morning saying she would see them all at breakfast the next day. Jenna stood up and Fern followed suit, stepping closer to the girl and giving Scinate a small smile. "It was nice to meet you Scinate, I hope you have better luck with your roommates." She said, blushing slightly. It was apparent she wasn't use to talking to boys.
"Hey, we will see you in the morning. I hope you have a better night!" Jenna said with a small wave to Scinate, "If you need anything my room is..." Jenna rattled off her room number before she walked out of the hall with Fern. Ivy gave a snort of disgust from the table before she flipped a smile at the boy she had been flirting with and followed her roommates out of the hall.
The three girls reached their room in no time and sat in the little common area for a while. There was a nice warm glow to the room and it smelled absolutely amazing. Ivy was the first to retreat her her little room, nose turned up the entire time and the door clicking shut with a resounding "click" that in itself sounded snooty. Jenna and Fern stayed up probably a tad too late, laughing and talking and forming a friendship. Jenna was glad that at least one of her roommates was friendly. She fell asleep that night with a smile on her face, glad that her first day had turned out alright.
She dressed quickly the next morning and made it to the breakfast hall in record time. It was a miracle after everything she had eaten the night before but she was once again famished. She saw Scinate sitting at a table by himself and skipped over sitting down beside him. Neither Fern nor Ivy were in the breakfast hall yet so they must have still been asleep. "Morning!" Jenna said brightly spreading some jam on a piece of toast and taking a big bite. As she ate the toast she loaded her plate up with all sorts of breakfast goodies. "How did you sleep? Your roommates give you any more trouble?" She examined Scinate's face carefully, judging that the night had not gone so well by his sad demeanor. "Hey, are you ok?" She asked gently, placing a hand on his shoulder and setting down her toast to give him her full attention.
He walked through the hall, keeping a close eye for if he would see the boys. He then got pulled aside at once and looked at the fat boy. Next to the fat boy was the skinny rich boy who was holding something behind his back. Scinate slapped the hand of the fat boy away and took a step back. ''Whatever you were planning on, please leave me alone.'' He turned around but at that moment, felt something hard hit his head. He turned around and saw the two boys laughing. It was enough! He moved his hands up before he jumped up and kicked the skinny boy back. He then grabbed the two hands of the fat boy and moved the sleeves so they were knotted. ''Now, leave me alone,'' he said and walked away.
After a while trying to find the room he entered, only to find the two boys angry. He ignored them and went to his room. He closed the door and laid down on his bed, not even bothering to pull his cloths off. He covered himself with the blankets and closed his eyes. He released a sigh and fell asleep.
The next thing he knew he woke up, without his blankets. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, then looked around. He looked at his closet which was open. He walked to it and checked for his cloths but they were gone. He sighed and softly opened his door, then looked around and gathered his cloths. He went back to his room and fell back asleep once back in his room.
The next morning, he was up early. He quickly changed and opened the door. He saw the two other boys were already awake, that surprised him. He hoped to be early up so he wouldn't be there when they would be awake. He walked to the door but the fat boy grabbed his shirt and pressed him to the wall. The rich boy narrowed his eyes and slapped him. ''There,'' the skinny boy growled and stepped away. The fat boy pressed him harder against the wall before the two boys went away.
Scinate sighed and looked at his cloths. They were torn. He walked back to his room and went through his cloths but found nothing that wasn't torn. They must have torn his cloths at night. He sighed and went away from his room. He found himself on the deck of the ship and went back. It took him a while before he found the hall and sat down on a table alone. He took a toast and ate it before leaning back and sighing softly.
He noticed Jenna enter but stayed silent. He watched her walk to hin and gave a faint smile but it didn't really gave away hi sad face. He rested his head on one hand and sighed. "How did you sleep? Your roommates give you any more trouble?" Scinate looked at her as she placed a hand on his shoulder. He looked down and stayed quiet for a while before noticing out of the corner of his eyes the rich boy. He looked back at Jenna and forced a smile.
''Yeah, I am fine, just didn't sleep that good and I missed my grandparents,'' he said and removed her hand with a soft smile. ''How did you sleep?'' he asked, looking around to see if her roommates were already awake. He didn't see them so he guessed they weren't awake. ''Are your roommates already awake?'' he asked softly. He took a toast and ate it, not looking at the boys, but still keeping an eye on them from the corner of his eyes.
