Seluna and Koramori both looked at eachother with a strange expression. The
man who was yelling for first years for Hogwarts was huge. They were only
about half his height, That they could tell from far away. But he seemed
friendly and they doubted that a magic school would send someone who could
hurt them to bring in new kids. Seluna walked over to the man, carrying her
suitcase behind her. Mori right behind her as well. She carried Lucky in her
arms and looked up at the man. Her parents had never kept books on magical
creatures or fairy tales in the house, but Seluna read about them at the
library and at school. This man isn't big enough to be a giant, and he
didn't look like an ogre, even though they were about his size, so maybe he
wasn't a magical creature.
