Getting off the Hogwarts Express was a tempestuous experience for Haddie. On the one hand, they were here. At Hogwarts. And the excitement of that was threatening to rip her to shreds. On the other hand, she was still very upset at her cousin for not telling her or her mom what they knew.
The two extremes stormed inside her as she slipped through the crowd and followed the Groundskeeper to a bunch of little boats. Nevermind the magic she'd already experienced, or taking the train to the school, it was these little boats that told her more than anything that this was going to be unlike any other school she's experienced.
For a moment she forgot she was also supposed to be mad at her cousin still. Even when she remembered again is was as distant and dim as the castle that loomed on a hill on the other side of the lake. She couldn't take her eyes off the castle, even if it was difficult to see in the dark. The penalty for keeping her eyes glued on it, was an ungraceful tumble into the nearby boat she'd tried to climb into.
"I'm okay!" Her face was bright red as righted herself with some effort. "Wonderful," she grumbled.
