(Connor POV)
As we stood in front of this giant castle, I started to realize that I had let this act go on long enough. I'm now in front of a castle surrounded by morons. Though I did meet this beautiful eagle, I guess every situation has two sides.
As I started to walk towards the steps leading to the castle's gate, Professor McGonagall walked out from seemingly nowhere and started talking to us.
"Welcome all to Hogwarts. As I told you before, we brought you here a month early so that we can help you acclimate to this new environment. Everyone in this school is wiling to help with any of your needs. Today is almost over so I'll bring you towards your sleeping quarters then explain more about our routine tomorrow. For now follow me."
As she walked up the steps we all soon followed her after getting snapped out of the trance that seeing something truly out of this world would cause. We followed after her into the large entrance way. The long steps in front of us leading to many doors and corridors bringing us to a great hall. She quickly makes note of it but says that she'll go further in depth tomorrow.
Following her into a room of full of spinning stair cases I started to that maybe this magic thing isn't so far fetched.
These stairs turning and spinning constantly connecting and disconnecting from each other in a reminding me of the M.C Escher painting.
As she worked her way up the stairs with us following her as close as can be without being on top of her, I started to notice the pictures start to move. First it was one then two painting farther in the distance as if awoken. Then it spread like a disease making the paintings look at us as if we were the piece of art. We slowly made our way up to the fourth floor were she told us the "guest room" is.
"When we truly get into the school year we will put you into a proper house," she explained, "Until then the teachers who are currently here will work with you and guide you down the whatever path you choose."
"Excuse me miss," Amanda spoke when Professor McGonagall was done speaking, "Do we have to sleep in the same room as them," she said pointing to me and Derrick as if we're trash.
"Of course not," she said while pulling out in intricate key from the inside of her robe, "At the end of this hallway is both a bathroom on the left and the door straight is the girls room," pointing down the long hallway.
"That's neat and all, but where do we sleep," I said while pointing at me and Derrick.
"You'll sleep in here, now I have to get going. It is very late and I am very tired," while walking away.
I looked around looking for somewhere to sleep while the girls made their way into their room. "Found anything," Derrick asked while pushing on some rock. "And what are you looking for," I asked, "Trying to see if it was like the door to the train," he replied.
"Could be but we haven't seen one in the school, so I would assume it would be used for farther travel," I said while opening the 20 door in this hallway which had two bed with large chest in front of them.
"I found a bed but they look like they were stolen from the dark ages," said while opening a chest. As I saw it only had sets of the stupid out I was in, I opened the second chest to find all the stuff I had on when I was brought here.
My large desert camoed jacket, matching multi pocketed combat pants, large combat boots, M14, multiple clips for both my hand gun and rifle. Multiple knives and different sleeves for them to be hidden somewhere on my person but still accessible, and my trusty bullet proof vest.
"This one's mine, that chest thing has clothes for you if you need to wear them tomorrow, I'm tired as hell so I'm hitting the hay. See you tomorrow Derrick," I said while taking off my cloak and lying on top of the bed.
"Night Connor," Derrick said while leaving the room and walking down the corridor.
