Who: Shane and Jon
Where: The grounds between the gate and the castle
When: Mid-morning
What: Shane's arrival at Hogwarts
Shane stops just shy of the gates, closes his eyes and tries to talk himself into going through them. He had thought that getting on the plane from Vegas to London would be the hardest part, that once he arrived he would be prepared to be back. That was why he had decided to travel the Muggle way, to give himself some time to prepare, to be ready to face this place (these people) again. Apparently it hadn’t worked. Shane takes a deep breath and opens his eyes. He can do this. He picks up his trunk and forces his feet to move.
As he approaches the castle Shane looks around taking in the changes. It’s obvious that cleanup has begun; the last time he was here, during the war, the grounds were a wreck. Now it looks close to how it looked when he first arrived. Memories of his time at Hogwarts flash through his mind: studying in the common room, quidditch on Saturdays, singing Muggle songs with Brendon. Shane smiles. He really did have some good times here. He is so lost in thought that he doesn’t see the person approaching until they are almost on top of each other.
