How You Meet

Harry

Y/N met Harry in first year on the train to Hogwarts. It was so much to take in between all the supplies and the kids on the train ranging in all different years that y/n had just opened a compartment and didn't look in first to see who it was. She had taken a seat and exhaled a breath that she had been holding before looking up and their eyes connected with green eyes hidden behind broken glasses.

"O-Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to just barge into your compartment." She said nervously, biting on her lower lip before the boy just smiled back. "No, It's alright." He stuck out his hand. "I'm Harry. Harry Potter."

"Pleasure to meet you, Harry Potter. I'm Y/N. Y/N L/N." Y/N smiled at him and ran her fingers through her hair. "This is wonderful, isn't it? So....."

"Magical?"

"Magical!" Y/N giggled and they just grinned at each other.

Before the train left the station, they had met Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and Y/N was pretty glad about the classmates that she had so far.

Ron 

Y/N met Ron in fourth year. She had always seen Ron Weasley in the Great Hall, classes, the common room, and even during Hogsmeade trips but never gained the courage to go talk to him. She was always too nervous that she would embarrass herself in front of him.

This was a particularly special Hogsmeade trip, the one before Christmas break where the students would leave to all go back home. Y/N's family was out of the country visiting America so that meant she was to stay at Hogwarts this year so she was gathering as much as she could to keep herself entertained, grabbing a new quill and some ink as well as a lot more parchment before deciding to make her way to Honeydukes.

Making her way inside, she was greeted with the warm air and gave a sigh of gratitude that the shop owners had it nice enough for the kids to get out of the cold. She browsed for a moment, grabbing sweets here and there before grabbing onto the last chocolate frog, just when another grabbed at it as well. Looking up, her cheeks flushed and she took her hand back quickly.

"Sorry." She all but squeaked out, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly.

"Oh it's alright. You obviously like them like I do." He said a bit cheekily, causing her to smile some and ease up. He noticed smile and hummed. "Here, you can have this and ill just pack up a lot of chocolate wands." He told her, placing it in her hand.

"Oh no, you don't have to-"

"I know, but I'm going to do it anyways." He sent her a wink, which had her face flushing even worst especially since she couldn't remember if he had ever winked at anyone else before either.

"Well, at least let me pay for butter beer at the Three Broomsticks." Y/N muttered before her eyes widened some. "A-As a way to make amends for taking the last one." She said quickly.

He seemed to ponder it before nodding his head. "Sure, that sounds fair. I'm Ron by the way. Ron Weasley."

Seamus 

Second year was where Y/N met Seamus. She had just walked into the Great Hall for dinner, starved after a day of class and a bit annoyed by dealing with Malfoy taunting her most the day as well.

She had been so focused on the food, she barely noticed the boy at the table muttering a spell to himself and flicking his wand back and forth to try to get it to work. It wasn't more than thirty seconds later that a loud boom was heard and the smell of burnt hair hit her nostrils.
