CH 17: Chocolate Frog

Draco was quite happy to meet his friends and started bragging how he and Lorion practiced magic for the entire week. Some of his bragging was so exaggerated; even Lorion couldn't help but blush.

He didn't entertain the trio for long, and went to the window sit and took out a book on Basic Spells and started reading!

While they were busy in their own world, a lady sweetly asked "Anything off the trolley dears?"

Draco immediately ordered the lot. Soon, the compartment was filled with chocolates. Draco enthusiastically asked Lorion to try them as well, while Crabbe and Goyle could only nod their heads, too busy digging themselves in the mountain of toffies.

"Lorion, come have these chocolate frogs. They give a magic card in the box! I have almost collected the entire set of them"

Draco said as if collecting the entire set was a huge honor. Lorion took the Chocolate frog box from Draco, and opened it.

Soon, a chocolate frog jumped up Goyle's head. Crabbe tried to catch it, but by the next jump, it was almost near the door.

Lorion immediately took out his magic wand and shouted [Wingardium Leviosa]

The chocolate frog immediately started floating, and flew back to Lorion's hand.  Lorion picked the frog and gobbled it up. It felt weird, as if Lorion was eating a living chocolate. Draco laughed looking at Lorion's face and then asked which card Lorion got.

Lorion looked at the box and saw a blue card with golden design in it. Looking at the card, Lorion said "Brother Draco, I got a card with Mungo Bonham written on it. It says he was a famous wizard healer. He founded St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries."

Draco nodded his head boringly. "Yeah, he did do so. I personally prefer the cards of Salazar Slytherin! Also, Lorion, you should stop reading now. We are going to reach Hogwarts soon. If you keep reading like this, you might be selected to Ravenclaw. It would be terrible!"

Lorion looked at Draco making a scared face and laughed. Since they were going to reach Hogwarts soon, Lorion kept the book in the trunk and then chatted with the other three. As all the four children were chatting, the train's horn blew up, and the train slowly stopped.

Lorion and Draco came down from the train, and saw other children coming down as well. Lorion saw the huge beard man, who seemed to be talking with two boys. 

Draco thought Lorion was stunned looking at the huge man and whispered in disgust "That is the gatekeeper of Hogwarts. A half giant, who has no right to use magic, named Hagrid"

Just as Draco and Lorion were whispering, Hagrid shouted "Well then, this way to the boats! Follow me. No more than four people in a single boat!"
