"Mom, Dad! Hurrrrrry!'' called an excited Adi, as he leapt from the car and bounded towards the Public Square. It was almost time to head off to Hogwarts! He was so excited, he couldn't stop jumping around. Dressed in his favourite
outfit, he stared around for any signs of other students. Sure enough, he spotted a few. They were easy to recognise with their trunks and all.
Adi suddenly felt warm hands on his shoulders and looked around. It was his mom
. "Your father's getting a trolley to load your trunk,'' Indira Rehman said with a smile. She wasn't sad or nervous about her son going off to Hogwarts. Seven years at Hogwarts had been the best of her life and she knew her son would feel the same way. "Concentrate on your work, darling. It may all seem hard at first but I know you will do your best if your best foot forward.'' The ex Gryffindor smiled. She had complete faith in Adi; she knew he was going to do well. She smiled at him and squeezed his shoulder. "Have fun, make lots of friends and don't forget to write to us.'' Just then,his Dad, Saieed Rehman came strolling towards them pushing the trolley. "All set, son?'' he asked. Adi nodded excitedly. ''I suppose your mom told you everything I would say.'' The muggle was not a man of many words.
Adi grinned.
"She did!'' he told his dad.
"I'll write to you guys soon.'' He wrapped his little arms around his parents.
"Bye, mom! Bye, Dad!'' With that, he grabbed his trolley and casually walked towards the direction of Platforms nine and three quarters.
