Another Weasley

Chapter 5

I looked at my siblings. Absolute horror. How would they respond? How would my friends respond? A Weasley, in Slytherin??!!! I stepped off as another Slytherin was called off the stool moments after his name. I walked over not look scared, nervous or disappointed. I sat down and began to eat slowly and steadily. Soon a boy came over.

" Weasley in Slytherin? Odd." He says.

I looked up at Malfoy.

" Hey Draco." I say.

" Hey, you aren't like your nasty brothers. We are cool, right?" He asks.

I shrug nodding. I shake his hand and that's how it our friendship began. Through that one act of small kindness. I knew he'd still be a jerk to Potter and Weasel. I don't even want to say his name. We went back to our common room and I saw my trunk and owl already there. I wrote a quick message to home and sent him off. I decided to name him something unique, something, me. I had decided on a cool name. I went to sleep eager, for the next day.

I woke up and got dressed in my Slytherin robes. I headed down for breakfast to eat something, maybe even get a response back from mum and Dad. I see my friends and head over to their table.

" H-hey guys." I stutter.

" Hey Zack." They say.

" Not mad about the whole Slytherin thing, right?" I ask.

" No! You're still a cool guy." Seamus says.

" Thanks Seamus. " I say.

" Hey! What's he doing here?" Weasel sneers.

" I can do whatever I feel when eating Weasel!" I snap at him.

" Last name basis already? Slytherin changes people doesn't it?"

" We are on a last name basis because you socked me then told Potter here that I bullied you! Making him shove me and have me hit my head!" I shout.

The entire Great Hall was watching.

" Ronald Weasley you socked your own brother?!" Hermione yells.

Weasel nods. She slaps him.

" How dare you, to your own twin!" She says.

He was about to object when my other three friends stood up.

" And to think his own flesh and blood!" Seamus yelled.

" Some brother you were Weasel." I snap.

He had enough. He jumped at me throwing the first punch. I easily shoved him off me and walked to my table with a bloody nose.

" He seriously did that?" Draco says.

I nod as his grip tightens on his food.

" Draco don't sweat it. Look, mails here." I say.

I easily see my owl fly in. He lands on my shoulder after finding me. I gratefully take my letter, pet him and set him off. I open it up.

" Zack,
I must say we weren't expecting Slytherin! But we are happy with it and we support. Hopefully your brothers don't take it out on you. Ginny doesn't seem to really care. I hope you are making many friends, and you aren't breaking any rules in the school! Hoping you have a great time there!
Mum and Dad"

I smile. They didn't care, even if I turned out to be a squib! Which is good to know that they will support me. The time tables get passed out and I look at the schedule. Today was Wednesday, so, potions with the Gryffindors, ugh, History of Magic, ugh, lunch, yay, double Transfiguration. Eh. Flying lessons with the Gryffindors. Ugh. I can't believe I have two lessons with that Weasel today. Well, I guess I'll just have to work with it.
