1st September | Tuesday

On the night of 31st August, it was a 5

'Hold on, pause, breathe, stand and wait. Demo had things to do.' That was what the staff often muttered to themselves when accompanying Demo on an outing. A newly appointed wizard background butler had been assigned to watch Demo as he boarded his first train to Hogwarts and he was informed not to waste his energy on reacting to what the child was doing. Whether or not he was judging Demo or not was none of the kids concerned. They were right! He had things to do!

Like running into that portal wall every few minutes, accidentally giving unease/scaring some passerby's that passed through. Again, Demo didn't care. He wanted to feel the rush of going through the portal over and over again. Who would stop him? If they would, he could. But until then, he might as well test his luck.

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13 times. He must've been at the station for almost an hour. Waiting a few minutes before going through the portal again, and then coming back again. With the cheekiest, excitable smile that was often found among children his age. His butler merely stayed a few feet away on the correct platform, watching him with a side gaze but not intervening. Merely having a hold on the trolley that had Demo's items.

Finally though, Demo's luck had run out and just as he was about to rush into the London platform, something else appeared at the last minute, completely blindsiding him as he crashed into them with as much force as a hyperactive 11 year old could muster.
