Narrator's POV

Walking down the forest path, Hadrian stumbled across two identical figures with red hair and dressed in white dress shirts, red slacks, and blue bow ties.

"Hello there." They greeted at the same time

"Hello, I'm Hadrian Potter and I'm looking for the Door Mouse." Hadrian greeted

"I'm Fred Tweedle." The one on the left said

"And I'm George Tweedle." The other added

"But everyone calls us Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum." The added in sync

"Do you know where I can find the Door Mouse?" Hadrian asked

"No." Fred answered

"But we can show you our best tricks." George added

"No, thank you." Hadrian replied, but upon seeing their saddened faces added "Maybe if we meet again."

"Yay!" Fred exclaimed

"Maybe one day we'll perform for the King!" George added as Hadrian walked away

Eventually he came across three people sitting at a long table that was filled with a variety of all different types of food.

One person was a man —who was smoking— with curly black hair, a black goatee, a off-white dress shirt, a brown tailcoat, brown slacks, and brown rabbit ears and tail.

The next person was a boy —who was furiously drawing in a book— with slightly wavy brown hair, a black top hat that had a red ribbon that was shaped like a heart, a black long coat, a red vest, a white dress shirt, black and white stripped pants, and a red bow tie.

The last person was a man —who was asleep— that has dirty blond hair and mustache, white dress shirt, red vest, brown slacks, and grey mouse ears and tail.

"Hello, I'm looking for the Door Mouse." Hadrian told the males who were awake

"Remus' asleep." The one with the rabbit ears said, pointing to the man who was asleep

"Is it true that he knows how to get back to the other world?" Hadrian asked

"No, but the Caterpillar does." The man said, taking a puff of his cigarette, "I'm Sirius Black, by the way."

"I'm Hadrian Potter." Hadrian replied

"Do you want to buy one of my hats?" The boy asked, looking up from his sketchbook

"No, thank you." Hadrian declined

"Oh." Neville said sadly

"Nev, you know everyone in the four kingdoms wants your hats, but they're so bloody expensive because they're made of all those rare materials." Sirius said

"My newest one is made of a gold plate and a golden cage with live bred-and-butterflies in it." Neville excitedly said

"I'm sorry to have to go, but how do I find the Caterpillar?" Hadrian interrupted

"You'll find him in the Fungi Forest." Sirius answered, pointing to the manor "Its just southeast of here, there's a path behind the house."

Hadrian walked down the path that Sirius had pointed out, he noticed the diminishing amount of trees surrounding the path and the increasing amount of giant mushrooms.

Eventually, Hadrian came across a greasy black haired man that had a sequined green vest, black dress shirt and slacks, and two antennae on his head.

"Hello, child." The man said, taking a puff of his smoke

"Hi, I'm Hadrian Potter, is it true that you know how to return to the other world?" Hadrian asked, exhausted after all the walking he had done, and tired from the lack of sleep, and that he hadn't eaten since lunch at school

"I'm Severus Snape. And no, my boy, I don't." Severus answered, taking another puff

"Do you know who does?" Hadrian asked as the silver sun rose, marking his second day in Wonderland

"The King definitely does." Severus answered

"Where can I find him?" Hadrian asked

"In the Castle of Hearts, it's just back the way you came and then some more. Eventually you'll find the Village of Hope and you'll find it." Severus answered

"Thank you so much." Hadrian thanked, turning to leave

"Take heed, Hadrian, the King of Hearts is ironically heartless. He doesn't care about who he hurts as long as he gets what he desires. The weather here is based on his mood: sunny if he's happy or content, like today; rainy if he's upset, which is rare; snowy if he's jealous or scared, we don't get very many of those; and stormy if he's angry." Severus warned

"Thank you!" Hadrian replied, happy to get advise in this strange land...
