4 Ghost king

Me and the twins grabbed our trunks and was about to start hauling them out the train until Percy stopped us.

"Dont worry about your trunks." He said. "They will be picked up and delivered to rooms later." Listening to him the twins and I dropped the trunks and left the train. As we stepped onto the platform a loud cry almost assaulted our ears.

"Firs' years. Firs' years over 'ere." A large bearded man in a shabby coat was calling out and gesturing for people to follow. Stopping the twins sneaking off I pulled them over to the man. We stood next to a crowd of people the same age as us but many looks of nervousness was shared across them.

The large man herded us towards a flotilla of boats. I stared at them warily. Sinking low in the water with scum pooling in the bottom they looked to capsize at the first gust of wind.

"Three to a boat. Come on get in now." The large man bellowed again. He stepped in a boat and sat down alone. Miraculously the joat did not sink I watched carefully for the first sign of danger before stepping in after the twins.

Pushing of from shore the flotilla made its was across the large lake slowly. Almost crawling towards the castle with the pace of a snail. I felt the life signs of the creatures below. Small fish, large fish, turtles, eels and a large creature that noticed my attention. The life sign moved and a huge tentacle broke the surface in front of me and the twins boat. They scrambled to the back in shock as the rest of the giant squid looked at me. Drawing at my power bones assembled in the water. Skeletal fish, sharks and more aquatic unlifeforms attacked the squid. Sensing the attack it jetted away after shooting me a hateful glare.

I realised the rest of the new students and the largean were staring at me. The man shook himself from his stupor. I heard him mutter.

"Must report to professor Dumbledore." The rest of the boat journey was quiet and the boats hit a dock. We scrambled out and made our way to a large hall before the large man left us.

As we stood there silvery forms melted through the walls conversing. They turned to us and I felt each of their eyes lock on me. They bowed as one with a single intonation.

"Ghost king."
