SPOILER!!: Haddie's Convocation

Still, this was the train to Hogwarts, and his overwhelming excitement completely blew those negative thoughts out of the water.

As they moved through the train, Garreth made note of pretty much everything he saw, and paid special attention to their compartment number. The thought had burrowed its way into his mind that you only got one 'First trip to Hogwarts', and it would be something you remembered for the rest of your life. It was to be an important detail in his recollections of Hogwarts in the future, and he was determined to make the most of it.

"I'm great!" He smiled back at his best friend who - rather sweetly - was so concerned for him. "Sure, I'm a little nervous, but Rachel! We're going to HOGWARTS!" his gleeful tone shattering the illusion of the sophisticated young man he attempted to seem like, revealing his true self: a giddy little boy going on an adventure.

Happily he took his seat next to Rachel and looked around the compartment. In his head, he had seen himself sitting by the window, but of course, so had everybody else, and he wasn't about to fight anybody for the window seat, nor sit on the opposite side rather than sit next to his best friend. He shot a glance over at Haddie when she announced that her wand had revealed it had a name. At least, that's what it sounded like she was saying. "Your wand has a name?" he asked, puzzled, but not disapproving. Who was he to say it didn't? Or that it had communicated this name to Haddie?

Regardless, the sight of Haddie's wand roused a desperate desire in him to show off his wand to his friends. The boy was overwhelmingly proud of it, perhaps more than most kids would have been, and even though he was by no means a vain or proud child, he simply couldn't wait to show it off. Too bad he felt it would be rude.

Wizarding primary school had been great but at Hogwarts, they would be able to do lots and lots of magic. She could hardly wait to get started on Charms, Transfiguration and most of all, Herbology.

"Haddie talks to inanimate objects,'' Rachel explained to Garreth with a giggle. "They talk back to her.'' She playfully nudged her girl best friend in the ribs. "I know you're not completely crazy though. No, I don't think it wants to talk to me just yet. Perhaps it will speak to you?'' She cast another look outside at the family. "We can try writing to her at least once and see how things go.''

"Garreth? What's your wand?" He had never told her about his. Was it similar to hers like hers and Haddie's? How exciting that would be!

Haddie rolled her eyes at Rachel. "Well, maybe if you didn't call her an 'it', she might be more willing to chat."

She leaned forward to see Garreth better. "I'm not as crazy as Rachel makes me sound. She just doesn't understand," Haddie punctuated that by returning the playful elbowing in the ribs. "It's not like they talk to me in words or anything. I just, um-- Things have their own spirits and identities and personalities, you know? It's like..." She paused. She was about to go into her long time spiel of how computers had their own temperaments and quirks that you had to learn to work with, but then she realized her new world was filled with actual examples, and smiled. "Like the measuring tape at Ollivander's! He's just an object, enchanted to move and work on his own, right? And now he can show everyone his personality. His name is La Rue, by the way."

She leaned back in her seat, sitting up a bit straighter, more regal, and smiled that now familiar Haddie smile, the one she had whenever she was exceptionally pleased with herself. "It's like that. I can see their spirit and personality and identity." Her pleased-with-herself smile grew bigger for a second.

"Oh yes! Can we see your wand, Gary? Is your wand a boy or girl?"
