After a while, the train came to a stop. I was jumping up and down in the carriage with loads of excitement.
"Oh, we're here! Ahhhh I'm so happy" I shouted.
"Bit excited are we Y/N?" George asked.
"Well....just a little bit" I replied. Fred and George both stood up along side me and we all made our way to the great hall ready to be sorted into our houses.
"Fred Weasley" Professor McGonagall shouted. He smiled at George and I before going up and sitting under the hat.
"Another Weasley, I see...." the hat started
"Quite mischievous indeed. Potentially a Slytherin hey...? No? I've got it.....Gryffindor" the had finished off. Everyone in the great hall started clapping and cheering and Fred went off to sit next to his older brother Percy.
"Draco Malfoy" Everyone went to one side letting the blonde haired boy through. Everyone seemed to be intimidated by him, but not to me. He went up and sat in the chair. Not a second had gone by and the boy smirked.
"Slytherin" the hat shouted. It hardly touched him. Wow I thought to myself. He really thinks he's the be all and end all.
"Just you wait" I muttered to myself.
"George Weasley" the Professor called.
"Ah, almost exactly like your brother...hmm...although I do see the differences. Well then...Better be....Gryffindor" Once again everyone clapped and George went to sit next to Fred.
"Harry Potter" Professor McGonagall called. The boy slowly made his way up to the chair. Everyone was whispering amongst themselves. 'Harry Potter' everyone muttered to each other. The sorting hat took a while to make a decision.
"Not Slytherin, Not Slytherin" the boy whispered to himself. The sorting hat had taken that into account.
"Not Slytherin hey? Well then...better be....Gryffindor" it shouted. Everyone cheered and Harry started skipping towards the table.
"Ronald Weasley" Professor McGonagall called. Yay another Weasley, I thought. Their whole family seemed so sweet and caring. Not to mention complete troublemakers though.
"...I know just were to put you...Gryffindor" the hat shouted. Ron seemed to calm himself down and made his way to the table to sit with Harry, Hermione, Fred and George
"Y/N!!"
"Oh no it's my turn." I whispered to myself. I turn to look at Fred and George, hoping I'd be put into Gryffindor too.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" The hat started saying.
"Quite an outspoken one, and intelligent too. Very cunning and strong. Hmm...this is very tough" It seemed to take forever for a decision to be made for me.
"Slytherin" the hat shouted. Everyone started clapping as I went to sit with my house. Slytherin I thought to myself. I looked over at Fred and George, we gave each other a quick smile and the feast then began.
After Dinner I got to see the twins before we headed to our dorms. "Congratulations on making Slytherin" Fred said with a smile.
"Thanks Fred" you replied "I just...I'm happy but...I really did hope to be in Gryffindor with you guys" I continued.
"Don't worry Y/N" George said.
"We'll still be able to hang out in our classes" Fred said.
It was the next day! I was so exhausted and fell asleep straight away.
"So Y/N who's your teacher for first lesson?" George asked. I jumped. I was in a world of my own.
"Professor McGonagall. What about you?" I asked.
"We have her too!" Fred exclaimed.
"Lucky us right? The three of us. The best trio ever. " he continued. I let out a little chuckle. I started to say something then George interrupted, "...In the same class together. It would make for a perfect story" he finished.
"You're very right George" I said smiling. Fred laughed and put his arm around George.
"You bet!"
The twins were too busy laughing that they didn't realise they'd bumped into their older brother Percy. He was Gryffindor's prefect.
"Watch where you two are going. Honestly do you ever use your brains!"
"Wow Percy that hurt!" Fred said pouting. He pretended to faint and George caught him. We both laughed but of course Percy didn't.
"Percy come on, you're no fun!" I said. He just rolled his eyes and walked away.
"How are you guys even related honestly?" I asked the twins.
"Who knows!" Fred said
"We better get to class" George said sternly.
"Right you are" Fred and I said together.
"We've met Professor Snap once and we already hate him" George stated.
"Yeah we can't even crack one small joke without being hit on the head with books." Fred continued.
"He's not that bad guys come on." I said
"Easy for you to say Y/N he actually likes you!" Fred stated.
"That's very true! I'm amazing aren't I" I said. They rolled their eyes laughing afterwards.
First class was alright I guess. Yes it was with the twins but like most classes it was quite boring. Especially as it was our first day, we didn't really have that much work to do. Settling in, making new friends that was about it.
Time Skip: End of the first week
"Oi Y/N" I head a voice say. I turned around only to see the blonde haired boy. Draco, right? I thought to myself.
"Yes Draco" I replied.
"I was wondering if you wanted to hang with us today?" he asked. "Oh..." I said. It took me by surprise. I mean he'd never really talked to me before.
"...thank you for the offer Draco, but I was going to hang out with the twins today if that's okay" I continued
"The twins? The Weasley twins?" Draco seemed confused.
"The Weasley twins?" he repeated.
"Yes. Is there a problem?" I asked.
"No nothing it's just....why are you hanging out with the Weasley's? They're a bunch of losers." he said in disgust.
"Well...I guess that makes me a loser too Draco. BYE!!" And I marched off then realising that the twins were behind me the whole time.
"Aww thank you Y/N" George said.
"Well it's true. I mean you guys are super fun to be around. I'd prefer you guys to Draco any day" I said.
"Yeahhhhhh" Fred said happily. The first week had gone by quick. I hung out with the twins every day. My favourite class with them was potions.
We loved making crazy concoctions and trying them on Percy. Probably not the best idea but it was certainly worth it.
"How was your first week boys?" I asked.
"It was pretty good. Still don't like Snape but everyone else is cool" Fred said.
"Yeah and we pulled some good pranks too with the help of you of course." George continued.
"What about yours Y/N" George asked "It was pretty good. Better than I expected. You guys definitely helped there" I said smiling.
We started chatting for what seemed like ages and then I heard a familiar voice.
"Y/N can I see you for a moment please" my face dropped. I was quite confused. I said goodbye to the twins and went with Professor McGonagall.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"I'm afraid not. Your mother is in the hospital dear."
"What? Is she okay?" I asked looking very concerned at this point in time.
"What happened? Do you know?"
"A couple of wizards attacked her" McGonagall replied.
"Am I able to visit her?" I asked
"Of course. Would you like the twins to come with you?" McGonagall asked.
"If that's okay. Yes please" As the Professor made her way towards the door Dumbledore was at the door and handed her a note. I was getting really concerned now. A note. Maybe she's okay. Maybe the note says she's now well and at home. I reassured myself.
"Y/N" McGonagall shouted. I stood up and walked over to her
"Y/N I am so sorry!..." she paused. I knew where this was going.
"...I'm sorry to inform you but your mother is...is...dead" My body shut down and I fell to the ground in tears. She came up to me and hugged me. "I'm so sorry" she whispered to me.
I woke up and gasped, tears streaming down my face. "It was just a dream" I whispered to myself. She's okay. My mum's okay. Thank goodness I thought. For the past two years I had had the same dream. I was sick of it.
I laid back down and looked at the photos near my bed. There were two pictures. One of me and mum and one of me and the twins. We had taken that photo the first day at Hogwarts.
I put the photo of mum face down and looked at the photo of me, Fred and George. About 30 minutes later I had fallen asleep. Without the nightmares this time.
