Through the Wall - Wizarding Twins
Mr. Copperbottom and the shopkeeper of the magic menagerie spent the whole day trying to get the snake, which Adrain has introduced to them as Herbert, back into the building, let alone its terrarium. To Mr. Copperbottom’s surprise, Mrs. Honeycutt had not scolded her children, but smilingly told him she had seen worse. She had decided though, that one pet was enough for the two of them and that, to avoid any reptile incidents at Hogwarts, an owl would suffice. Until their departure to Hogwarts, Mr. Copperbottom had to visit the Honeycutts another two times, once freeing the house of suddenly sprouting fungus and another time to act as a magical fire man, since the twins somehow had gotten hold of their wands and chaos had ensued. In the end, Mr. Honeycutt decided to take the siblings’ wands with him to work, to keep them well out of their range for the time being. Then finally, the promised day of attending Hogwarts finally came. Mrs. Honeycutt had done her best to get the twins to sleep that night, but at 5 am, nothing could keep them still anymore. They roamed through the house, double and tripple checking their luggage and looking at the time every few seconds, which seemingly refused to go by at a reasonably fast pace. Finally the ringing of the doorbell released the twins from the agony of waiting and together with Mr. Copperbottom, they made their way to King’s Cross station in London. Finally arriving at the station, Mr. Copperbottom led them through the crowd and here and there the twins managed to spot some hints of other wizarding people trying to blend in. Faintly the screams of owls could be heard and every here and there a few people with a rather peculiar mix of clothes could be seen. Finally they arrived at the wall that separated the platforms 9 and 10. „Here we are, go ahead.“ Mr. Copperbottom said, pointing at the wall. Mrs. Honeycutt raised an eyebrow. Maybe she thought this was the time he had finally lost his mind and or the whole thing would turn out to be a giant hoax after all. Mr. Copperbottom noticed and started explaining. „The wall is a pathway. You simply have to walk through it, better run a bit, if you are nervous.“ Mrs. Honeycutt looked at him with an expression which unmistakably read as „I won’t let my children run into a wall!“, but it was too late. Abby and Adrian had already taken command over the luggage trolley and steered to right into the wall. Standing atop the luggage, waving at her mother, Abby vanished into the wall, followed by her brother, who hang on the steering of the trolly. A heartbeat later, nothing of the twins remained and the wall stood as sturdy as before. They had taken their first step closer to Hogwarts!
