Kyle gasped as Hogwarts came into view. Siobhan was right Hogwarts was huge. Kyle took Siobhan's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. This would be exciting. "Merlin's beard." He said just loud enough for everyone in his boat to hear. "That's our school." He was used to more modern homes. His mother being very current with housing trends.

The other girls in the boat gasped as well. They could hear murmurs of people chatting, but everything was so quite otherwise. The boats crossed the water without event. Of course the Giant squid was no problem. When the boats docked Hagrid helped everyone get out of their boats and led them into a room just inside the castle.

Kyle was still cold from the chill of the lake, but his teeth soon stopped chattering. Mireille behind him was muttering under her breath to Charlotte who seemed to be reassuring her friend, that they really didn't have to fight a troll or take a test.
