“I say  - look at this school that we are visiting.”

“Gosh. Hogwarts! Frightfully disappointing. I did so much want to go to Buaxbatons!”

“Blow Father! He thinks that Hogwarts will have a much better education. But, I hate it so! And, all our friends from Clesity Primary are all going to Buaxbatons. I shall miss old Kate so much.”

Two dark and curly haired girls were taking a walk in the streets, both eleven year olds. They were complaining in low voices, for they were not excited to go to Hogwarts. 

“I agree. Kate was so fun to be with!” Said Isla mournfully. Willow had disappointment painted all over her face. 

“Well,” She replied gloomily “We don’t have a choice, but I am going to hate every bit of Hogwarts!” Isla nodded in agreement. The twins could be very determined when they made up their minds. Then, a voice was heard, shouting from the window.

“Willow, Isla, darlings! Where are you? We are leaving to go to Hogwarts and visit the school!” Their father. He was a jolly man, with a serious face and a merry smile. Willow and Isla rolled their eyes dramatically at the same time and walked forward to their house. 

“Father, do we HAVE to go to Hogwarts?” Isla asked bitterly, looking at her father with a hopeless look. 

“Isla. And you, Willow. Get dressed and we are leaving.” He barked and the two girls siddled away to their room. Isla took out her brush and began combing her curls with unnecessary force. Willow meanwhile was selecting which hairband to use. Soon, both girls were dressed identically, their blue eyes dull and emotionless. 

Mr Dawson, (Their father) met them downstairs and they walked to the bus station.

“We should try to see most of the muggle world while we are here!” He explained enthusiastically. Willow and Isla avoided making eye contact. Soon, the bus jerked forward and said in a female voice: “Station Meadway. Get your luggage out. Wishing you a good day.”. Mr Dawson smiled as he walked out, and the pair of sulky twins followed. Then, Mr Dawson hid behind trees, held their hands and they apparated several many miles forward, and there, lo and behold was Hogwarts. 

The girls followed their father, trudging behind slowly and they reached a talkative babble of students and parents who all seemed to be glowing at Hogwarts. The family of three joined the end of the queue and stood waiting for some action. Suddenly, the line was moving forward and there a girl with blond and brown hair came to Willow and Isla. 

“Hello! I’m going to be your Tour Guide for Hogwarts for now. I’m Prefect and this,” The girl indicated another girl with her hair brunette “ - is Head Girl, Winifred Brown.” Winifred, who had stunning brown eyes nodded. Then, the Prefect introduced herself.  

“And I’m Lavender. Pleasure! So, please do follow me and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.” And with that, a small group of people followed her. Winifred led the group up to the front door and looked around cheerfully. Then, after, they came in.
