<br></div>At one end of the platform stood a man with long, shaggy black<br>hair and beard. Several sizes larger than anyone else and draped<br>in a long overcoat, he looked just too big to be allowed; but<br>what could be seen of his face wore a broad grin, and his black<br>
eyes twinkled. Waving a hand the size of a truck tire, he called<br>out, "Firs' years! Firs' years this way!"<br></blockquote>
<div>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. </div>
