I Rewrote Harry Potter I Guess

Train Scene PART 2

"Uh- no, sorry.....?" Ronald answered politely. 'She looks like a pureblood..' he thought as Hermione nodded, "Hermione Granger," she answered. Before she left, she told Harold to change into his robes (the twins were already wearing their robes).

"How come we need to?"

"There's thirty (30) minutes left before we set foot in Hogwarts, might as well be prepared," she explained. Harold nodded hesitantly as she closed the door.

"She's bossy now, isn't she?" Ginny complained as she was dusting off any crumbs from her uniform. "Yeah... I heard from Hagrid that there's something called purebloods... know what it is?" Harold asked them as he was getting his uniform and robes from his trunk. "Pureblooded Magics, it's self-explanatory Harry- Harold." Ronald corrected.

From the context clues he was given, he guessed that purebloods were wizards who had both wizard parents. Harold was having a hard time getting his trunk (despite standing on the magical levitating table the train provided them).

"Want me to help?" Ginny snorted as Harold struggled to get his robes and uniform. Harold looked at her with a deadpan expression. "If my face doesn't say it, then yes. Yes please." Ronald snickered and Ginny got her wand out.

"Hey, you too." Ginny nudged Ron and he raised an eyebrow, "Hey, I thought you were-!" "Have you seen his trunk? It's huge! Must weigh a ton too!" Ginny exclaimed, aspirated. Ronald took a look at Harold's trunk and eyes widened, bewildered.

"Bloody hell... what do you even have in there!?" Ronald asked, stunned. "Clothes." Harold said, "Oh, and it has books. Er- what else.... Oh and pens. Loads of them." Harold said. "I'm starting to regret my supply of pens..." Harold muttered. He eyed the twins to see them with their wands, targeting the bag.

"Wingardium Leviosa," they say in unison and the trunk starts moving, slowly getting down on the table. Ronald couldn't concentrate as Scabbers was eating his snacks so the trunk felt much heavier than what it was before.

"RONALD!" Ginny stopped the spell and a loud thud was heard.

-___-

"Thank the lord the table's okay.." Ronald wiped some sweat off his face. He and his sister were NOT going to be the reason why Mummy Weasley needed to pay the school more than she should.

"As for these weird sticks-" the elf that was checking the trunk to see if anything broke caught some of the pens. "Oh yeah, that's Harold's uh, pens. Yeah." Ronald told the elf and he nodded.

"Well, no damage caused here surprisingly and I hope this.... Harold of yours doesn't mind me getting one of these.... Pens!" the elf was holding a pen in his hand and closed off Harold's trunk. He left, feeling giddy about the new treasure he found.

The twins saw Harold coming back, wearing his uniform. He waved a hi.

"Where's your robes?" Ronald asked Harold who was sitting back down on his seat. "It's hotter when I wear it," Harold explained. "Why is that?" he asked them.

"Hogwarts is cold so the robes are enchanted to feel hot. Practically a winter wonderland there, that's what my brother said... er- just snow unless it's Halloween." Ginny and Ronald explained in unison. "And the reason it didn't snow on that day was because that was the day when Hogwarts was founded, right?" Ginny grinned and Ronald nodded at Harold whose smile was strained. Harold muttered something unkind to the snow as he looked out the window to see that the sky, which was since blue and sunny had now turned into the night. He looked back at the twins and they stared in awe at the stars.

"Percy told us about this, didn't he? I never expected it to be this beautiful!" Ginny said, surprised. Ronald nodded along too and looked back at Harold. "Come on now mate, might as well look at the stars now," Ronald gestured for Harold to take his place. Harold thought for a bit before giving in and taking Ronald's place.

"You're right Ron! I can see loads of them from here!" Harold exclaimed. "Ron? Ronikins~ I think you just got a new nickname." Ginny teased as the train came to a slow halt.

"ALL STUDENTS, GET OFF!!!" the PA announced, a few coughs later, "AND JUST LEAVE YER LUGGAGE IN THIER YA SCAMPS, THE ELFVES WITH TAKE CARE OF IT!!" they say, students flock out of the train, excited for whatever reason (magic school = excitement).

"OH GOD IT'S COLD!" one of the students exclaimed as they shivered and hurriedly put on their robes, Ginny sighed in relief, thanking Percy for his warning.

"Whoa." so this is what Hogwarts is like. "Now, it says here we got 97 students.... Everyone! Get the ice skates over there, I hope you know how to skate...." Hagrid muttered the last part.

A pile of ice skates was given out by an old man. They looked.... Like what you don't expect someone old to be. Clearly, they haven't aged well.

"Isn't this too big-" the student stopped complaining when the ice skate shrunk to their foot size. "Cool!"

While everyone was (struggling) to get the skates on, the twins Ginny and Ron were more scared... but excited!

"Do any of you know how to skate?" Harold asked as he tied his laces. "Nope! This'll be our first!" Ron told him while Ginny was done.

"I have learned the tricks of Grandma Issy!" Ginny stood up and started to March on her skates on the dry ground that was not ice, a bit too wobbly for comfort (Ginny, Issy tripped and broke her ankle.)

"I'm guessing Grandma Issy is a relative that went here..?" Harold guessed as Ron tried standing up but ultimately failed. "Yep-!" Ronald answered as he held on to a tree, "She married Gramps-!" Ronald yelped as he almost fell but returned to answering Harold. "He was a skater and she learned from him." Ronald finished as he sighed in relief as he finally found balance.

And the same balance was gone when Ginny started running on her skates. "GINNY-" Ronald tried to catch up to her (failing), "YOU DONT WANT A BROKEN ANKLE DO YOU!?" Ron tried to persuade Ginny as she laughed hysterically. Harold was on the ground, laughing too.

"Grab onto the rope kiddos! And for those who already know how to skate follow me!" Hagrid exclaimed as some were on the lake, having fun or a race and the others trying to walk and being taught by their friends or future lovers. Who knows?

"Ron, where's Ginny?" Harold asked a bit worried but the worry dissipated when she was with her older brothers. "That's....?" Harold looked at Ron, asking for his name.

"It's either George or Fred. Can't tell the difference." Ronald shrugged. Harold nodded. "A galleon it's George." Harold bet. Ron raised an eyebrow. "Too poor to bet my friend." Ronald exaggerated his sigh as he dramatically 'cried'. To which he almost fell off and Harold helped him up.

"Never doin' that again."

Hagrid sped up a bit, some students were scared but overall having fun. "Look!" one of the boys pointed at the lake, a giant eye was watching them. "That my friend is The Squid! They like newcomers, just don't disturb it!" Hagrid laughed.

Hermione was also spitting facts about the Squid. Although she warns the people that she tells them that it's just hearsay. Something she heard some Magics talk about in Diagon Alley.

All in all, everyone was having a wonderful time! Except for the boy named Neville who was next to the end of the rope and at the end was being held by the old man who gave them their skates.

"Uhh... w-what's your name...?" he asked sheepishly. "Filch." he jeered and Neville screamed. Oh god, he sounds worse than me in the morning.
