Hogwarts Unity and the Protective Sisters

Chapter Eight - First Impressions

This chapter will be written by both of us.

As the students stepped off the train, they heard a masculine voice call out, "First years!! First years!! Follow me!!" The trio of misfits looked up and the youngest, yet most frightening one of them all looked excited.

She ran up to the half giant and gave him a huge hug. She chirped happily, "Hiya Hagrid! Meet my friends Guinevere Weasley and Rosabelle Malfoy!" The half giant at the trio in surprise. No one has ever heard of a Weasley and a Malfoy being friends before, but leave it to a Potter to be the one to pull it off.

Hagrid stated, "Hi Richelle. Where's your brother?" She waved her hand towards the crowd indicating she had no idea where her twin had gone. He smiled at her affectionately and he ruffled the young girl's hair. He said, "First years! Follow me to the boats!" Just like that the girls grabbed each other's hands and headed towards the boats. 

In Guinevere's P.O.V.:

Once the train stopped all of the first years were taken over to wooden boats that would get us over to the school. Richelle, Rosabelle and I quickly got into an empty boat so we could all be together when we saw the school for the first time. A few minutes later another red haired girl joined us, but she didn't introduce herself. She instead looked down at her hands and remained mute. I went to say something to her but stopped when the boats began moving. After a few minutes the castle finally came into view. At the mere sight of it, I think my jaw dropped to the bottom of the boat. It was magnificent! Everything about it screamed magic, and I couldn't wait to get inside to see more of the school that was in front of me. The things my brothers had told me about Hogwarts was nothing compared to actually seeing for myself at this very moment.

In Rosabelle's P.O.V.:

Richelle, Guinevere, and I sat on this boat with this other red haired girl. She is pretty quiet and not annoying at all. To be completely honest, I forgot that she was on the boat with us until I turned to say something to Guin. She was looking straight ahead and she let out the quietest gasp. I turned back around to look at what she saw. It was amazing. The castle itself was way bigger than my manor. The whole plot of land that the manor was on and everything. It was gorgeous and breath taking. Mother and father had not done it justice in their descriptions of it when they would tell me stories about it. I could already tell that this was going to be the best seven years of my life.

In Susan's P.O.V.:

To get over to the school we would have to get into groups and sit in small boats for a few minutes. I stayed to the back of the group and watched everyone file into boats laughing with friends they had made on the way over here. Eventually, I got into a boat that had three girls in it that were too busy talking to one another to notice me sit in the boat with them. I looked down at my hands and waited to get to the school. I was never a fan of water so sitting on the lake right now made me extremely nervous. Once the boats began moving I decided to look around and eventually the school came into view. I quietly gasped as I took in the huge castle. Hogwarts was truly a beautiful school and I was excited to start my first year here!

In Richelle's P.O.V.:

Magic. That word, I have learned to fear because it is freaky and it makes Uncle Vernon very angry. However, after learning that I am, indeed a witch and my parents did magic, I have learned to fear less. In fact, I am starting to embrace the fact that I am going to a school where I can learn how to control my abilities. Even though, I am learning to embrace my ability, I am no where near bored by it. It still amazes me. It could just be the way my aunt and uncle raised me, but as I float across the lake with my two best friends and a girl who seems to be to precious for this world; I find myself staring at the castle of Hogwarts in amazement. I turn my head slightly to the right and I notice that my brother isn't much better. He is just as amazed as I am over the entire ordeal.
