Quoth The Ravenclaw (A Harry Potter Fan Fiction)

Chapter One: Weasley's and Trains

  The next few weeks were an utter bore, I was extremely impatient for the day to come where I could head off to Hogwarts. I mainly spent the week working with spells, trying my hardest to memorize some I could use with my wand, without using my wand of course.
   
I also studied the potions I could make with the new books I got, studying the materials and looking up ones that I am not sure about. I already knew I was ready for school but revised the same things over and over again, until I knew most of it by heart. Transfiguration was so far the most interesting.
   
It was the day I was supposed to leave for the train and I was skimming through one of my books my mother had in her library about Transfiguration and I came across a term I found interesting, “Animagi.” I wanted to take a closer look at it before I heard a knock at the door and my mother came into the room.
   
“It’s time to go, Blaze.” I looked at her for a moment then she left the room and I stuffed the book I found in my bag, placing a slip of paper on the page where I found the word. I headed to my room and grabbed all my things, placing Shota in my arms as we headed outside.
   
“Were going to Hogwarts, Shota. This might be the best experience of my life, yours too!” I said as I close the door, making my way down the stairs, I found my mother and she had everyone else downstairs as well.
   
“Alright you three, keep your things together. The Ministry Transport should arrive any minute now.” I took Shota and put him in his carrier while we waited, and placed my wand in my pockets, a knock at the door was heard.
   
“It’s about time.” my mother said grumpily as the Ministry Transport System arrived. I opened the door and thanked them for their help, as they lead us to what muggles call a “car”. 
   
“Hurry up, hurry up! The express leaves soon!” we piled in after her and our luggage was put in the so classes “trunk” of the “car”, very fascinating. 
   
I always get amazed at the car, even though I have been in one since I was 6, only once a year though. All the different trinkets and knobs, levers and gadgets. They all look so interesting and I always wanted to know how they work and what does what, or what makes the car move, so on and so on.
   
“Hey Eric, didn’t you say there was a Muggle Studies class at Hogwarts?” I asked, my mother gasped at that but Eric paused for a moment to answer.
   
“Mhm. Somehow a lot of people find the class to be interesting, the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs for example. Last year, when a Slytherin 3rd year student signed up for the class, all the Slytherins made sure to not let her live that down, even Snape pitched in, it was hilarious the things we did to her. The other houses though cheered for her every time she walked by, saying she was brave.” he scowled at that last part, saying the whole thing as if it was old news.
   
“Oh a-alright then.” I stuttered, my mother was still looking at me in shock.
   
“Blaze! What in the world has gotten into you?! Are you thinking of joining the class?!!!”
   
“Mother, she can’t take it til 3rd year.” Eric mumbled 
   
“I know that! I went to Hogwarts myself.” She sighed. “I still don’t think it would be appropriate! What if she gets converted to a Muggle-lover like that damn Author Weasley!”
   
“Mother, calm down I still have three years.” I retorted.
   
“I- Oh never mind.” she stopped and left the rest of the ride silent. I fiddled with my wand in my pocket and Delator kept on trying to ask questions but before he did mother gave him a glare and he stayed quiet.
   
“We have arrived, Madame.” The driver said as we slowed to a stop.
   
“Yes, Thank you.” she said flatly before getting out.
   
“Hold this Ickty.” Mother threw her hand bag at the house elf, the house elf paying no regard but followed orders. We got our things out of the “trunk” and placed them on the trolly that we were given, I made sure to arrange everything to where it wouldn’t fall, then placing Shota’s carrier on the top.
   

“Come now, we haven't got much time.” She sped walk towards the platforms and we followed. We stopped in between platforms nine and ten, and without saying anything, Eric headed in.
   
“Just go at it, Blaze.” I studied the wall and took a deep breath, I steered the trolly towards the wall, trying my best to keep my excitement to myself. I looked at the brick wall, thinking it was only that but I knew better and started towards it, I sped up a bit more thinking I might hit it but, eventually going through the wonky portal and arriving at Platform nine and three-quarters
   
I stared at the train in awe once more, knowing now things will be different, that I will be on the train waving goodbye to my mother and brother rather than waving to my older brother.
   
My brother and mother followed a bit after me and we walked closer to the train. Delator looked as if he was on the verge of tears and my mother has a cold stare but a slight bit of softness showing in her eyes.
   
“Can’t I go with her as well? I’m going to be so lonely..” Delator said, a couple tears fell down his face and I knelt down and hugged him
   
“Delator, you know you can’t, I promise I will write a ton of letters to you and tell you all about the castle.” I said “But make sure you take care of Minn and Ickty. I’ll tell you what house I got in.” He smiled and nodded. I stood up and looked at my mother.
   
“I am very proud of you, Blaze. Make sure you get into Slytherin.” I nodded and gave her an awkward hug, then ran off to the train waving back at them.
   
“Love you!!!” I yelled specifically towards Delator, he yelled back but their was too much noise for me to hear, I pushed my trolley looking for an empty compartment along the side of the train.
   
I noticed two boys that had flaming red hair and seemed to be helping another boy get his luggage onto the train. I got a closer look and saw they were twins, and not just any twins, my assumption is they are the Weasley twins. 
   
When they finished helping the boy they went over to their mother and said their goodbyes, I heard the train whistle go off and jumped on the train, bringing my luggage up with me. I looked out the window and saw they were gone, which lead me to my mission to find and meet the all-time famous trouble makers the Weasley twins.
   
I went right first and brought my luggage with me, the train starting moving so it was a little difficult to maneuver. I looked in ever compartment until I found the middle part of the train, which I found an empty compartment with luggage in it. I then heard steps from behind me and in their glory, the Weasleys have arrived.
   
“Um is this your compartment?” I asked them when they came over to where I was.
   
“Why yes it is.” Said the one to the left
   
“Great! Um would it be ok if I joined you? I have heard a lot about you guys and I would love to get to know you guys!” I asked them. They looked at me, then at each other, then at me again.
   
“Let us think.”
   
“A moment.” they huddled together and began to whisper amongst themselves.
   
“Should we?” asked the one to the left.
   
“Maybe.” 
   
“She could be a fan.” Said the one to the left
   
“And a first year.” Said the one to the right.
   
“It would be rude.”
   
“We have made our decision!” said the one to the right.
   
“You may join us.” said the other.
   
“Thank you so much!” I said excitedly, they walked in first and I did right after them. I sat my things down before putting them in the luggage holder. I then sat down barely staying still, grinning ear to ear. The compartment door opened.
   
“Oh? We got company?” said the boy. He had darker skin and dreadlocks, I figured the other luggage was his, including the cage that he had in his hand, which held a tarantula. He sat down next to me.
   
“Yep this is…” The one to the left trailed off.
   
“Blaze, Blaze Leverett.” I said holding my hand out to the boy with dreadlocks, then to the twins. He shook it and so did the other two.
   
“I’m Fred Weasley.” The one to the left said 
   
“I’m George Weasley.” Said the boy with dreads
   
“And I’m Lee Jordan.” Said the twin to the right. I stared at them in confusion as they laughed.
   
“B-but you guys look exactly the same?!” I said to the one who claims to be “Lee Jordan”.
   
“Were just pulling your leg, I’m Lee Jordan.” said the boy with dreads
   
“And I’m Geroge Weasley.” said the twin to the right. I laughed a bit before smiling.
   
“Well it is very nice to meet you all.” I giggled a bit more.
   
“So how exactly do you know us?” asked Fred.
   
“My brother Eric Leverett, he goes here too. 5th year. Everytime he comes back for break he will just burst through the door and talk or complain about everything that happened through the year, that includes you guys.” I said rolling my eyes.
   
“He a Slytherin?” Fred asked.
   
“Yep, he found you guys to be so irritating while I thought it was so cool how you pulled pranks on different people and professors, and also that you guys are the Gryffindors beaters!” I said looking at them with awe.
   
“Ah I see, so you are a fan.” Said Fred.
   
“And I know Eric, asshole but he’s better than Flint and them.” George agreed.
   
“Yeah, he ain’t too bad when you get to known him.”
   
“Wait!” Lee exclaimed “Don’t tell me you want to be in Slytherin?” he asked.
   
“No way! I could never live with myself if I were to get in there, I would probably go to Dumbledor and ask if I could be sorted once more.” I thought about my mother continuously telling me I will get into that house. I got up and headed over to the carrier that held my cat, and opened it up, taking him in my arms.
   
“My mom would also talk about how ‘Blood is so important and that those filthy muggle-borns don’t get what we have.’ It drives me nuts!” I exclaimed. I pet Shota, and scratched him behind the ear, he began to purr.
   
“Ah I see, a ‘rotten one’ as they would say.” Fred said with air quotes around rotten one. I laughed at that.
   
“And Malfoy is just as bad, you should know his dad if I’m right?” I asked. Fred and George looked at me as if I just asked if I knew who Harry Potter was.
   
“Of course we know the all famous ‘Lucius Malfoy’.” George snarked.
   
“Our dad will never shut up about how much he hates Lucious Malfoy, we even had grown to hate him and we’ve never even met the man.” Fred remarked.
   
“His son is no better.” I scowled. Just after I said that I heard a very familiar laugh and immediately duck out of sight, hiding against the wall next to the door, holding my cat very tightly.
   
“Huh?” The twins said together.
   
“Whats wrong?” asked Lee but before I could answer, the compartment door opened and a boy with familiar greased back blonde hair and cocky smile entered the compartment with his henchmen, Crabbe and Goyle.
   
“Well, well, well. If it ain’t the Weasley’s and, huh?” He looked my way and I gave a small awkward wave.
   
“What are you doing down their? Taking notes on the muggles you saw, or making a list of the mudbloods your going to meet?” I almost saw Fred and Geroge jump out of their seats while the three at the door laughed,  but I got up and smiled very fakely at him.
   
“And what are you doing? Make an enemy list so that whenever you see someone, you look at the list to either smile or scowl at them?” The twins laughed at that and Draco turned slightly pink.
   
“Now why doesn’t baby Draco go head off and brag about you blood or money, not like that's all you care about anyways.” I smiled slyly at him and he glared at me.
   
“Keep you bloody arse out of my business, Leverett. And tell those Weasley’s to get an actual job while you at it.” Before I could do anything else, he slammed the door and sped off the other way with his men following after him. I sat down next to Lee and sighed, setting my cat down hoping no one else would come in so he wouldn’t get out.
   
“That bloody...bastard. He thinks making fun of people is an excellent way of spending his time, he needs to pick up a good book of manners and read it.” I mumbled very loudly and angrily.
   
“If he doesn’t make Slytherin, I’ll laugh.” Said Fred.
   
“Or give him some Gryffindor pride.” Said George.
   
“Yeah.” The door opened again and a woman with a huge cart full of sweets and treats entered, I grabbed Shota so he woldn’t get out.
   
“Anything off the trolly?” She asked, I handed George my cat and fished out my wallet and so did Lee. The twins looked at each other then leaned back in their seats. Me and Lee looked at each other and we had the exact same plan, I bought myself a ton of chocolate frogs and bars, and a couple pumpkin pastries. Then after Lee bought his stuff we got a couple cauldron cakes and two packs of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans and a couple more chocolate frogs, basically a bunch of sweets for them. 
   
“Thank you!” I said as she left, we placed it all of the table and shoved some of it towards the twins, taking my cat back.
   
“Have some!” We both said and they did.
   
“Thanks!” They said and began to each eat something different, I opened a chocolate frog and popped one in my mouth, setting the card to the side.
   
“The more I spend, the better.” I commented.
   
“Why?” asked Lee.
   
“My mother is practically rich, and if I use more money it get filled back up but my mom will get pissed, and since I’m not at home I’ll have to ask her to keep sending me money, and it makes her so mad but she does it.”
   
“Taking advantage of being a rich kid, but in a funny way. We have only known you for about 10 minutes and I already think we will get along very well.” Said Fred.
   
“Hey, most of it doesn't go to myself so I guess it’s like sharing is caring!” The three of them laughed.
   
“So what houses are you guys in?” I asked them.
   
“All of us are in Gryffindor.” Fred said casually.
   
“Really! Cool!” I said. “I was planning on either going their or Ravenclaw, since I guess I have a decent amount of knowledge packed up here.” I said pointing to my head.
   
“Speaking of cool heads-” I laughed at that. “Guess who we saw!” they said.
   
“Who?” Me and Lee asked.
   
“None other than the all time famous,” said Fred
