Hogwarts!

Chris went back to his compartment with Trevor in his hands and after a couple minutes later, Hermione and Neville came back as well. Neville saw Trevor in Chris' hands.

"Trevor!" Neville shouted joyously as Chris handed Trevor back to him. "Thank you Chris!"

"It's not much," Chris said.

-Quest Complete: Reward of 2 Sickles and 80 EXP will be given. 131 EXP needed to level up. Money remaining: 0 G 16 S 18K.-

"How did you find him so fast?" Hermione asked. "I don't think it has even been 10 minutes,"

"Oh I used a small spell," Chris said.

"Oh which spell did you use? I read a bit of the textbooks before coming so I am wondering if it is something that's in one of the books that I read," Hermione said.

"Oh, I don't think it's in the textbooks. It's a little family spell," Chris said with a smile.

"Oh," Hermione said. However, Chris could see that she wasn't satisfied with his answer. "Then can you tell me what the spell is?"

Chris wanted to decline, but he knew he had no good reason to do so.

"It's called the Finding Charm. It's able to sense the location of anything in a certain radius," Chris said.

"Oh that sounds very useful. Why hasn't such a useful spell like that appear in one of the textbooks? I'm sure that if it is something that you as a first year can use, it shouldn't be a very difficult spell," Hermione bluntly said.

"I don't have an answer to that question," Chris said. "Perhaps there are similar spells to mine,"

Hermione accepted the answer and proceeded to talk about her experience while finding Trevor.

"You know I saw Harry Potter in one of the compartment. He's the Boy Who Lived. He was with this guy named Ron Weasley who had this strange chant for magic. He tried to change the color of his frog and his chant sounded like something a child made up,"

"Oh, well I'm sure he tried hard," Chris said trying not to laugh as he suddenly remembered the chant that he saw in the movie. Like Hermione said, it was quite ridiculous, but he knew that Ron didn't know any better and trusted Fred and George, the only two brothers who Ron should never trust with these kind of things. The three started talking some more until the train finally stopped and they arrived at Hogwarts.

When they left the train, the three of them were shivering.

"Why didn't I learn a spell to create heat?!" Chris thought as he heard a loud familiar voice calling out for them.

"Firs' year! Firs' years over here!" It was Hagrid and Chris also saw Harry and Ron.

"It's him. That's Harry Potter and Ron Weasley," Hermione pointed out.

"It's amazing that I get to see the son a my hero and the hero of the Wizarding World in one day!" Neville said with a smile.

Hagrid talked to Harry for a minute and turned to the rest of the group.

"Alright is that everyone? If so, let's get to the boats. When we get there, no more'n 4 per boat!" Hagrid led everyone down a steep narrow path until they ended up in front of a beautiful lake that shined due to the moonlight. On the other side of the beautiful lake was Hogwarts. The huge ancient castle was alluring in its own way and with the shining lake, it seemed like a masterpiece better than any art Chris has ever seen.

'It looks even better than in the movies!' Chris thought. 'It's like a dream that I can experience something like this,'

"That's Hogwarts. I know it's a beauty, but let's stop admirin' it and get on the boats. No more'n 4," Hagrid said.

Chris, Hermione, and Neville got into a boat with another girl that Chris has never seen before in the movies. She had large blue eyes with long straight yellow hair in a ponytail. She was also a bit taller than Hermione and her face was as white as snow without any blemishes.

'Hmm.. that's weird. I should know every single person here. Even if I'm not completely sure of their identity, I shouldn't be completely clueless,' Chris thought. 'System what's going on?'

-This is a parallel world where the Evergreen Family exists in the Harry Potter Universe. Due to the butterfly effect, this is one of the consequences of having the Evergreen Family. Of course, not too much has changed and she and one other person are the only additions of the first year making it 42 people. Even in all 7 years, there are barely any changes to the amount of students merely 1-3 people extra. However, do know that there will be various changes due to the existence of the Evergreen Family.-

"Hmm... that makes sense. I suppose compared to a lot of butterfly effects in those books, the butterfly effect in this case isn't that strong," Chris thought while nodding.

Suddenly, Hermione clapped her hands in front of Chris' face.

"Hey Chris did you hear Kristine?"

"Huh who's Kristine?" Chris asked as he was not hearing anything from the others so he instinctively asked even though now he guessed who Kristine was.

"She's Kristine," Hermione said pointing to Kristine.

"Kristine Alder," She said with a smile while extending her hand.

"Chris Evergreen," Chris quickly greeted as he shook her hand.

"You know Chris, Kristine is exactly like me! She's Muggle-born and she also studied hard before coming here. She already knows how to cast 5 spells," Hermione said.

"Heads down!" Hagrid suddenly screamed as the boat went through a curtain of ivy. They went inside an underground harbor. Everyone left the boats and Hagrid led them up a flight of stone steps. Eventually, they stopped in front of a huge oak door. Hagrid knocked on the door and out came a tall black-haired woman in green robes. It was Professor Minerva McGonagall.

"This is Professor Minerva McGonagall," Hagrid said.

"Thank you Hagrid. I'll take them," Professor McGonagall said as she took them through the beautiful entrance hall that had pictures all over the wall and had an old looking stone floor. Soon they stopped in front of 2 huge doors leading to the dining hall and Chris heard hundreds of voices from inside. Hermione, Neville, and even Kristine looked nervous while Chris was standing there excited.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGongall said. "The banquet will begin shortly, but before you can take your seat, there will be a house sorting where you will be sorted into your house. The Sorting will decide the people you will work and live with for the next 7 years so it is extremely important. In Hogwarts, there are 4 schools: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw. In Hogwarts, we have a competition where the House with the most amount of points will be awarded the House Cup, a great honor to your House if awarded. I hope that each and every one of you will be an important asset to your House,"

She then looked at Neville's cloak which was fastened onto his left ear, Ron's smudged nose, and various other people who seemed to be a bit unprepared.

"Well, we do have some time. I would suggest that everyone take this time to be fully prepared," She said as she left the chamber.

"Chris, I didn't know about this Sorting thing. Is it a test? I only know the Mending Charm and some other really minor spells. What if the school rejects me right now for not knowing more?!" Hermione asked as she started panicking and started to recite the spells she knew.

"Hermione, if you get kicked out, we're all getting kicked out," Neville said. "I barely know how to put on my robe right now,"

"Your knowledge of spells is probably the best among all of the students here. Unless they do not want to have first years, they wouldn't reject you for no reason," Chris said.

"Yeah you're right. I need to relax," Hermione said as she took long breaths.

Suddenly, there were gasps coming from the other students and Chris looked up to see what was going on. It was ghosts and they were flying around observing all the kids. One ghost, the fat friar, started asking some questions.

"Oh new kids, going to be sorted," He asked.

A few kids nodded at his questions

"Well then, hope to see you at Hufflepuff. It's my house," He said as a loud voice from inside the dining hall.

"The Sorting Ceremony is about to start!"
