Magnolia Rousseau (A Ron Weasley X Oc Story)

Chapter two

Magnolia's POV

I could feel eyes watching my every move as I walked closer to the sorting hat. My cheeks flushed as I could hear the whispers echoing throughout the great hall. I looked up and saw Luna smiling at me, I smiled back gratefully knowing that I wasn't the main attention of a room full of strangers. I continued looking around the room trying my best to avoid eye contact until I locked eyes with a boy whose hair looked like a newly lit fire and pale moonlight skin. I immediately looked away and tried to focus on walking. I had reached the three legged stool and sat down. Professor McGonagall placed the hat down on my head as I held my breath.

The sorting hat was a lot heavier than I expected, I could feel the unexpected weight shoot like a shockwave through my body. I felt a chill crawl down my back and then a voice started talking to me.

"Ah yes this is the new witch I have been hearing about. Hmm, You have a caring soul and a great ambition to learn. I see you want to make friends" Surprised I glanced at Luna "I see you can befriend anyone. But I do see fear deep in your heart. What scares you child?" I stayed silent wishing this would be over quickly so I could hide away from everyone's piercing eyes. "I see, not to worry, I will put you in safe hands." Out loud the voice announced "Better be... Hufflepuff!" Relief washed through my veins as cheering from one table erupted. I gladly got off the stool and walked towards my new house. I sat down in an empty spot as people said hello to me and welcomed me into the Hufflepuff family.

The sorting continued and it was finally time to eat. Delicious looking food covered the table ranging from the most amazing roast dinner to an unusual glowing jelly for dessert. As people started eating they also started chatting too. The girl who sat next to me turned to me.

"Hi, I'm Abigail. You look kinda old to be a first year. Did you transfer?" Politely I replied "Umm yes I just moved here, I'm Magnolia, it's nice to meet you." I started to eat my plate of food when Abigail started speaking to me again "Wow your name is so pretty. And weird question, sorry but what accent do you have I can't pinpoint it." "Oh I'm from France but I don't have as strong of an accent as my mother." I smile softly. "I like you Magnolia, let's be friends." "Okay." I laugh at her forward request.

"Don't worry" Abigail says as she grabs my hand to get up to leave "I'll show you where everything is. I'm your personal tour guide." As other students also get up after finishing their food we walk with the crowd towards the exit of the great hall. All of the different house colours of students' robes mixed together as people chatted to one another. The sea of different coloured uniforms spilled out into the castle corridors and I had to hold tight to Abigail's hand so I wouldn't lose her. The different colours of cloaks split up until all yellow uniforms were walking in one direction.

I was shocked as we entered the Hufflepuff common room. The common room was so cosy with beautiful plants in every corner and the golden hour sunlight streaming through the windows making heat spots where different animals were asleep keeping warm. The house colour was everywhere with every soft surface covered in the warm honey yellow.

"Come on. I'll show you to your room" Abigail said, taking me out of the trance. We walked up the stairs to the dormitories and entered the last room in the corridor. "This is our room. I have had a spare bed in here since Daisy McKenzie had to leave last year so you can have it." She beamed "I'll let you unpack and i'm going to get ready for bed. We need an early night so we are ready for lessons tomorrow." With that she left me in the room as I took it in. One side of the room Abigail had her belongings already unpacked and laid out. The empty four poster bed on the other side had a uniform laid out and my trunk at the end of the bed.

When everything was unpacked and I was in my pyjamas I got into bed. Abigail joined me in the room and jumped into her bed. "Well Magnolia I hope you enjoyed your first day here. Bonne nuit, sweet dreams" I giggled at her attempt of a french accent "Bonne nuit" I replied as I felt sleep take me away to the dream world. I think mother was right, everything will be okay.
