Here England was. Out side his second oldest brothers home.
'Uhhhh... Here we go.' England presses the door bell.
*Bag pipes play*
"Aye! Aye! Who's ther- England! Why are you here lil' bro?" There at the door was Northern Ireland. A 5'4" redhead with freckles all over.
"Hey Seamus, I was wondering if you could do me a bit of a favor?"
"What've ya gone and done this time?" N.I. Questioned.
"Well ya see..."
*insert light explanation about the letter and such here*
"Ah, that it?" Northern Ireland got up, "I'm fine with it! As long as you're still technically on duty, what with helping the magical side of the country."
"Really? You're fine with it?" England stared at him.
"Yeah, why not? That wizarding civil war took it's toal on both of us last year." N.I. Said.
"Erk." The Brit was not happy at all last time, thinking back to the time America had tried to cure him with hamburgers, yuck! "Anyways, thank you for temporarily taking over my position."
"No problem, see ya later, South!" N. Ireland called as England left.
"Hehe... Till next time, North!" Ha childhood nicknames...

Iggy's POV.
Let's see... Wiseman the owl, trunk of books, two suitcases of clothes, case of important papers, Whiskey is napping.... My wand? In my pocket. Ticket for station 9 & 3/4... Wait. What? The bloody hell? 9 & 3/4?
I wonder around between platform 9 and 10, I counted the columns between the two. There were four columns, so I went over to the third one and saw a few boys with owls in their carts. You wouldn't believe it because you, are probably a muggle, but they were running into the wall. All of them were obviously wizards, you can tell by their cloaks. So I guess that's were I go? Huh, things sure change in just a few hundred years.
Once inside the train I couldn't find any empty seats, so I saw a half full cart with 3 students. Guess that's the best I can get, it's only one train ride.
"Ello?"

Hermione's POV
Harry, Ron, and I had just settled down in our section, it's still 5 minuets until we leave though.
"Our final year! I wonder what's in store for this year?" Ron flopped into the seat next to me.
"Well, as long as nothing's after us this year I'm fine." Harry laughed across from me.
"Yeah, all I want this year is to have a nice normal school year." I said recasting my head on the back board. Then the door slid open, and standing there was a rather short adult, I mean taller than me but smaller than most... Maybe 5'6"? Anyway he wore a muggle suit with a green tie and had dirty blond hair, he also had some of the largest eyebrows I'd ever seen! But what really got me about him was his eyes, not anything like Ron's pale green, but deep vivid emerald green...almost glowing.
"Ello?" The man spoke, "My name is Arthur Kirkland, I'm afraid all the other carts are full. Might I sit here?"
"Sure go ahead..." Harry shuffled over to the window.
"My name is Hermione, Hermione Granger. This is Ronald Weasley." Ron waved.
"And I'm...Harry...Potter..." He had mumbled his last name.
"Ah yes. I know, and it is nice to meet you!" Arthur smiled gently at us all.
"If I might ask, aren't you a little old to be a student?" Ron piped up.
The man chuckled, "I would think so! Hahaha! I happen to be teaching this year."
The three of us stared at him, "Teaching?! You cannot be that old!"
"Well... Let's just say, I'm much older than I look." He still had on a half smiled.
We sat in silents for a few minutes, only noticing the train had taken off about five minutes ago.
Suddenly Ron asked something very stupid, even though we were all thinking it.
"Mr. Kirkland, are you a muggle?" Ron asked.
For a long moment we stared at him, then Mr. Kirkland began chuckling again.
"Hehehe, not at all! I am quite the wizard if I do say so myself" The man reached into his pocket and and pulled out the most peculiar wand I have ever seen. The wand itself seemed normal enough but what was atop it was extremely odd, at the top was large yellow gem(?) in the shape of a star.
"What? Is there something wrong with your wand?" Harry asked.
"No at all, this is a charm given to me by...a dear friend who passed away. This star channels and amplifies my magic, not only that but feel how light it is!" Arthur passed the wand into Harry's hand.
"Whoa!" Harry waved it about a few times then passed it to Ron, who acted just as supprised.
"How on earth?" Ron passed it to me.
"It's so... Light." I held it between two fingers and waved it like that floppy pencil trick.
"Right?" Arthur held his hand out and I put it in his hand.
The door slid open and the lady with the cart of sweets asked if we wanted anything, I got some licorice snakes, Ron some jelly beans, and Harry got couple cookies. Arthur took a stare at the cart before grabbing a hand full of chocolate frogs. After we paid we got back to the conversation.
"So...Does it work? Your wand, that is." Ron questioned.
"Well of course it does! Ready?" I nodded, he tossed a jelly bean into the air, "Hoata!"
I've never heard of that spell before but it was very pretty. The jelly bean exploded like a firework, then the pieces exploded into more, and so on for a good minute.
After a while...
Suddenly the train stopped, I hadn't realized we had been talking so long.
"All students to the boats!"
Arthur got up first, "I'll see you on the inside!" He called.
We all waved.
There was something odd about Mr. Kirkland and his wand, I suppose he holds no threat though. For now, inside to see who will be joining our house this year.
