Magnolia Rousseau (A Ron Weasley X Oc Story)

Chapter one

It was the day many students were excited for, the first of September. This was the day that students left home and took the long train journey from kings cross to the Scottish highlands where Hogwarts was located. However, one girl was not excited to leave.

Magnolia clung to her mother's hand as they wove through the crowds of students saying goodbye to their families . As they got to a less crowded area Magnolia's mother turned to her. "Mon amour, it will only be for a short while that we are apart then you will be home for the holidays and we can spend every moment together" Magnolia looked up to her mother with teary eyes "But maman, I won't have any friends, i've joined so late i'll be the only new student in 6th year." Her mother smiled and laughed slightly "Don't worry darling everything will be alright. Write to me everyday and tell me all about it. You will have loads of fun. Je t'aime okay" Her mother hugged her tight as the train conductor signalled for everyone's final goodbyes.

Magnolia got on the Hogwarts express and took one final look at her mother as the doors closed and the train started to pull away from the station.

"Right" Magnolia said to herself "One step at a time let's find a seat." She started walking down the narrow corridors of the train and looked into the busy compartments. Finally there was an almost empty compartment, so Magnolia took her chance and sat down.

A blond girl with wavy hair and piercing blue sea glass eyes who was deeply invested in reading a newspaper looked up. "Oh, hello I didn't see you there. I'm Luna Lovegood. I don't recognise you, are you new?" Magnolia smiled politely "Yes it's my first year here at Hogwarts, well its actually my sixth year, no I mean Im in sixth year." Magnolia spluttered "Sorry, I'm really nervous I've never been away from home for this long." Luna smiled "That's okay, which school did you attend before moving here?" she asked "I was at Beauxbatons but we had to move for my mother's work." Magnolia replied, she was slowly getting used to this soft spoken girl.

For the rest of the train ride it was mostly silent, broken up by conversations here and there until the train started to slow down and Magnolia realised they had finally arrived at Hogwarts. As students started to file out of the train Magnolia was swept along with them until she noticed an incredibly tall man directing first years in a different direction. She plucked up the courage and approached the man. "Excuse me, I'm new here, where do I have to go?" The tall man looked down at her "Ah you seem a little too old to be a first year." "Yes" Magnolia said shakily "I've just moved here" The tall man had now blocked the sunlight out and had left Magnolia in a shadow "That's right, The headmaster informed me you should be arriving. Don't worry, I'll show you the way." The man turned and started to walk towards the group of first years "All first years follow me to the boats" Magnolia assumed he meant her too so followed him and the group of first years.

When all of the first years and Magnolia had safely gotten onto the boats they started the journey across the dark lake towards the brightly lit castle. It was mesmerising with it's tall turrets out of sight from the light and the ground light by burning torches. Magnolia felt it was out of a fairy tale.

As they approached the castle she realised how ginormous it was. She had to crane her neck to see all they way up. She took it all in as they walked up the steps everyone could hear the rest of the school through big double doors. At the top of the staircase there was a Witch waiting for them as they approached she spoke to them "Welcome students to Hogwarts I am Professor McGonagall, now I know you are all excited to get onto the sorting ceremony. But I just want to say this will be your home for the next seven years, you will make friends and learn about the wonders of our magical world." She smiled down at everyone "Okay when there doors open your name will be called and you will have the sorting hat placed on your head. When it tells you what house you are in go and sit with the rest of your housemates. Good luck everyone." With that she stepped to the side and the doors opened

"Rousseau, Magnolia" As her name was called she nervously started to walk towards the sorting hat and she knew that this was going to be a special place and she was going to make many memories.
