Paper Rings; Fred Weasley

PROLOGUE

September 1st, 1989

«RAVENCLAW» everyone heard clear and loudly roaming through the Great Hall.

The Sorting Hat had put Erin Peters, an 11 years old halfblood witch with golden red hair, into Ravenclaw.

She ran smilingly down from where she sat in front of everyone, to the Ravenclaw table with cheers as she entered and sat down with the other first years. The girl next to Erin took out her hand and gestured a handshake towards Erin. «Dawn Wilson, halfblood» the girl said proudly. «Erin Peters, I'm halfblood too» she answered back with a friendly wide smile.

After the ceremony everyone was lead out of the Great Hall by their house prefects. On her way out the large doors Erin catches a glimpse of a tall ginger boy with lots of freckles, just like herself.

Erin was the only child out of 4 that had gotten their dads ginger genes, and all three of her older siblings mocked her about it every day. Erin had shoulder-length ginger hair, freckles all over her face and body and green eyes with a small hint of blue in them. She hated it. She hated how the color of her hair made everyone make fun of her. She hated that all the freckles made people look at her and laugh. She hated it.

Erin was mesmerized off how beautiful this boy was. How could someone look so beautiful, especially with red hair and freckles? She was so lost in her own world that she didn't realize that she crashed right into him.

«Oi! Need to look where you're walking» the boy said laughingly looking down at her. She still couldn't move her eyes off of him. He was so beautiful. «Hello» he laughed. Erin shook her head to focus again. «Fred Weasley» the boy said straightening his hand in front of her. She took his hand and shook it, «Erin Peters, I'm so sorry» she said. «Nice to meat you Eri-» Fred was interrupted before he could finish his sentences by another girl grabbing Erin's wrist and pulling her away.

«Hurry» Dawn said running out of the hall to try to catch up with the rest of the Ravenclaws, still holding a tight grip around Erin's wrist.

After they've reached the rest of the Ravenclaws outside the entrance, some of the students in the back turned around and looked at them with annoyed looks. «And to the two girls in the back that just arrived» the prefect said aloud, «in order to enter the common rooms you will need to answer a riddle asked by the eagle knocker. If you answer incorrectly, you will have to wait for someone else to get the correct answer».

After the prefect knocked the bronze knocker on the door, it asked out loud «Which came first, the phoenix, or the flame?», «A circle has no beginning» she answered. All the first years looked amazed over the eagle shaped knocker.

When the door begin to open, they were met with colors of blue. In pairs they entered the common room and once everyone was inside they turned and looked up and around with open mouths and big eyes.

The roof was dome-shaped and reflected the carpet which looked like the night sky with stars and silks hanging down and attached to the top of the walls above the windows. Just like curtains, but hanging the wrong way. There were couches and seating areas spread around the big room. In the middle of the room it was a globe, and on the left side it was a big fireplace with blue flames warming the whole room. There were bookshelves spread along the walls filled with books and information.

On the other side of the entrance, there were a small niche filled with more books. It looked just like a library, nowhere near the size of the main library, but got almost as many books. Out the windows you got the most spectacular view of the school grounds. You could see the Great Lake, Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch, Herbology greenhouses and the surrounding mountains. The room is so airy and has so much space.

Next to the door leading to the dormitories stands a tall statue of Rowena Ravenclaw made of white marble and portraits of famous Ravenclaws hanging on the walls.

«The dormitories are up here, girls on the left and boys on the right. You will find all your belongings in your rooms» the prefect said.

Everyone started heading to their dorms. Inside the room there were four-poster beds, covered in sky blue silk eiderdowns. On the floor there was a big blue carpet with the Ravenclaw logo on it. The furniture was either blue fabric or in a dark brown mahogany wood, just like the bed frames.

«Looks like we'll be roommates» Dawn said smiling. There were only two beds in this room. The room was shaped like a semicircle, each bed had a desk and chest of drawers next to it, and on the other side of the beds there was a small seating area with a loveseat and a small table.

«This is going to be the best seven years of our life» Erin said going in for a hug with Dawn.

Heyy! This is only a prologue to the story. There will be a five year jump to the next chapter, witch is taking place in the Goblet of Fire era.

The picture is how I imagine the esthetic in the Ravenclaw Common Room is. According to the real description the area is only one floor, but in my story the common room area is two-floored. The 2nd floor is only like a balcony around the room with seating groups, chairs, bookshelves and chessboards and stuff like that. You can picture it however you want, but this is how I picture it, and how I later in the story will picture it when I write scenes that take place there.

If you have any wishes, suggestions or any comment on how I can make the story better, I will appreciate it. English is not my first language so I'm sorry in advance for anything that is not grammatically correct.

This is a smut and will contain sexual content, heavy languages, drugs, alcohol and more that is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18.

The story does not follow the original plot line to the letter, it will be changes. And all original Harry Potter character credit goes to J.K Rowling.

Without further ado I present to you: Paper Rings.
