Through the steadily widening spatial rift, a towering Ancient Castle burst into everyone's view.
The castle soared into the clouds, its spires seeming to pierce the heavens. Its ancient stone walls had weathered the ages, yet still radiated an intimidating pressure that made hearts tremble.
Coulson's pupils contracted sharply, and he cried out despite himself, his usual composure long gone.
"Hogwarts! This is the entrance to Hogwarts!"
"The Wizarding World is inside!"
He was utterly stunned, his voice rising to a shrill pitch.
Skye looked bewildered. She had never heard of any "Wizarding World," much less knew what "Hogwarts" was.
But Ward, beside her, seemed to know something. He froze in place.
His eyes widened as he stared fixedly at the castle, unwilling to miss a single detail.

Skye couldn't help asking, voicing the question on everyone else's minds.
Coulson took a deep breath, trying to steady his excitement.
"Miss Wizard came from the Wizarding World."
"There are many other wizards in this world besides her. They just don't normally appear before ordinary people."
"They live in interconnected Pocket Dimensions outside our reality. Those spaces are collectively known as the 'Wizarding World.'"
"Hogwarts, right in front of us, is an extremely powerful force within the Wizarding World. It's also where Miss Wizard came from."
A trace of awe crept into Coulson's voice, impossible to conceal.
It wasn't just those present. Thousands of miles away, at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Triskelion, Fury was also watching events unfold.
Seeing space torn open and Hogwarts appear, he could no longer remain
