It was dark by the time the other first years arrived and I was waiting at the lake edge staring at all the lights that twinkled in the sky and inside Hogwarts.

All the way back to the castle Merin had asked me questions. That I answered truthfully.

A lamp floated out from behind the trees and I grinned as a line of first years followed suite chatting and arguing. As I jogged up to them. A large grey wolf jumped out of the woods with a large bark behind me.(I know the color because I watched it walking in the trees) the kids stumbled backwards in fright as the wolf landed on four feet facing me with it's tongue lolling out. It's fur stood up in spikes and it had a mohawk-like shape to it's head fur. "Shoo." I told it, waving my hands in a 'go away' motion.

The wolf grunted disapprovingly and curled into a tiny wisp about the size of it's paw.(I sat here staring at this for a few weeks)which then flattened and emitted sparks with a pop it disappeared completely.

A second later a large man that almost doubled the size of a normal man and had a shoulder span at most three times that of normal man stepped out, his graying hair was a mess of tangles. He could have easily passed as dangerous if you didn't count the protective glint in his eyes. "That wasn't a smog wolf right? I thought those went extinct a long time ago..." he paused before saying "well then into the boats"

And within seconds we were sailing at high speed across the lake
