| �Dearie, would you like something off the cart?� a woman asked from the doorway. �Three chocolate frogs please.� Amethyst said handing the lady the coin. The lady passed back the three packages and 2 smaller silver coins. �Thank you�� she said as the lady shuffled off. Amethyst, deciding she wasn�t very hungry, set the frogs and the coins beside her. Fifteen minutes later, Dumbledore began to wake up. �Ah, the cart has come around.� Dumbledore said grabbing a chocolate frog. He opened it and out hopped a frog. It hopped onto the seat, but then froze and then didn�t go anywhere else. He picked it up and tore off a leg. Then seeing amethyst�s face, he explained, �It�s enchanted chocolate. One good jump in it and then it�s perfectly okay to eat.� �Oh�� Amethyst said. She opened one. Her frog jumped onto the wall then slid back down. It tasted really good. It wasn�t too sweet, nor was it bitter. She looked back at the package and noticed there was a card in it. It looked like an oddly shaped baseball card, but on the front there was a moving picture of a witch name Gertrude the Great. �What�re these? And why does the picture move?� �It�s a Wizard Card. Wizard made pictures always move.� Dumbledore smiled as he handed her his card of Ptolemy. �My dad used to smile a lot, just like you. After he died, my mom didn�t smile until a year later�Oh, look! Are we there?� She asked as she looked out the window. �Almost. Gather your things together,� Dumbledore said. �We should be stopping any minute now.� As soon as the train stopped, Dumbledore stood up, straightened his robes and beckoned for her to follow him. As they made their way up to the school, Dumbledore explained the school to her. �The staircases move. Ghosts pop out of every wall. All the pictures are wizard pictures, that is, they move. I�ll introduce you to all the teachers and we�ll see which classrooms you can use to study in. follow me, I�ll show you to my office. The first couple of days might be hard. I expect you�ll get a lot of looks. You are the first American muggle to visit here. You will become quite famous.� All of the kids had been given the afternoon off, and the ones that passed already stared at her. He led her into his office. There inside stood a gaggle of teachers and Eulinda. |
