"Rose, you go meet up with him, he is Hagrid. We will meet you at the Great Hall" Lauren said as he smiled at Evelina warmly.
The latter nodded and then went towards the half-giant along with Lily and Hugo.
Evelina along with Lilly and Hugo were guided towards the enchanted boats. They boarded the boats and soon the magnificent castle came into the view; it was beautifully decorated with floating candles.
Many gasps were heard as the first years were mesmerized by the beautiful view. A small smile formed on Evelina's face when she looked at the little first years looking at the magnificent castle up ahead.
All the boats came to halt on the underground harbour of the Hogwarts castle. Evelina came down first and then helped Lily and Hugo out of the boat, as the latter duo beamed her thankful smiles.
All the first years were taken to the hall beside the great hall by Hagrid, the enormous door opened and a tall, lean man came out dressed in his robes.
"Hello Kids! I'm Neville Longbottom, your Herbology Professor and Deputy Headmaster. Welcome to Hogwarts, in few minutes you'll be taken inside the Great Hall where you will be sorted into four houses and will join your housemates for the welcome feast" Neville said in a warm voice.
All the first years nodded excitedly, Neville nodded once again before returning back inside the Great Hall. After few minutes the doors to the Great Hall opened and the first years were ushered in.
Evelina entered along with Lily and Hug, who were practically jumping out of excitement. They entered and Evelina immediately spotted her brother and other friends on different tables.
Evelina saw that up in the front many wizards and witches dressed in robes were seated with a lady who looked very stern and strict whom Evelina guessed should be the famed Headmistress of Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall.
She also spotted Harry seated on the teachers table, her eyes landed on the person beside Harry and her eyes widened in shock.
It was none other than her dad, Oliver Wood seated on the teacher's table. She looked at her brother who shrugged and nodded stating they had no idea as well.
On the other hand, Harry and Oliver looked at their kids faces full of question with amusement. It was a last minute decision; they had to agree to their all time favourite professor's request.
/////////AFTER THE DEPARTURE OF HOGWARTS EXPRESS//////////
Oliver who just reached Ministry after sending off Lauren and Evelina, received a mail from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It was a mail from his former professor and current Headmistress of Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall. He frowned when he looked at the sender's name as it has been many years since he last received a letter from Professor McGonagall.
He was about to open it when Harry entered his cabin with a letter in his hand. Oliver looked at his letter and then at Harry.
"Did you read it" Harry asked as he motioned towards the letter in Oliver's hand. Oliver nodded stating he did not, Harry chuckled casually.
"Then read it, take your time" Harry said as he said in a casual tone, as he walked towards Oliver in a casual manner.
"Is there something special in it, sit down first then" Oliver said as he opened the mail carefully. Harry nodded and seated himself in front of Oliver who was busy reading the letter.
Oliver's face was a rollercoaster of emotions, Harry almost burst out laughing at the way Oliver reacted, opening and closing his mouth like a goldfish.
