Ron Weasley X Reader

First Year| Chapter 8

I am sitting on my bed with a piece of parchment and a quill in front of me. I want to write back to mum but I'm still confused about how she figured out how to use wizard mail. It's late. I should probably start this letter. I look around my dorm and see that all the other girls are sleeping. I finally pick up my quill and dip it in some ink.

Dear mum,

I miss you very much but I've made some wonderful friends. You already know about Ron but I have another friend named Harry, he's actually quite famous in the wizarding world, and I've also sort of made friends with a girl named Hermione. I also was put on the quidditch team and I'm a seeker. I've never played quidditch and I don't really know what it is but Ron says it's really fun. I love and miss you.

, Y/N

I sealed the parchment in an envelope and set it on my nightstand so I could mail it tomorrow. Then I turned the lights off and went to bed.

*time skip brought to you by dobby's cum sock*

Harry and Oliver Wood were carrying a big trunk while I was walking beside them. I wanted to help but it seems as though they don't need any.

Oliver pipes up "quidditch is easy enough to understand. Each team has seven players, three chasers." he nods at harry " two beaters, one keeper and the seeker. That's you." he points at me with the bat while setting the trunk down. He opens the trunk up and grabs a huge ball and tosses it to harry. "There are three kinds of balls. This one's called the quaffle," he explains. "So the chasers, you, handle the quaffle and try to put it through one of those three hoops," he tells Harry while pointing at the hoops. "The keeper, that's me," he smiles, "defends the hoops. With me so far?" he asks.

"I think so," Harry replies.

I chime in "what are those." I  nodded to two balls that are squirming.

"you better take this," Oliver says while handing me a bat. I hesitantly grab it. What in the bloody hell do I need a bat for? He unlocks the ball and it goes flying straight up into the air.

"Careful now it's coming back," he tells me. I get positioned to swing. The ball comes down and I hit it and it goes soaring; Harry looks at me in amazement. Olivier turns to me and says "not bad L/N. you'd make a fair beater." I can't wait to tell Ron about this later. The ball starts flying back at us. "Uh oh." Oliver realizes. He catches the ball and wrestles with it for a minute until he finally gets it back in the trunk.

"What was that," I ask, shocked.

"Bludgers," he replies. "Nasty little buggers but you." he points to me, "are a seeker. I turn to Harry and I see that he too has an unsure look on his face. Oliver opens up a small compartment and takes out a pretty, golden, ball. " the only thing I want you to worry about, is this." he holds up the tiny ball. "The golden snitch." he says handing it to me."

"I like this ball," I say while inspecting it.

Oliver smirks "Ah you like it now. Just wait it's wicked fast and damn near impossible to see."

"What do I do with it," I question.

"You catch it before the other team's seeker. You catch this, the game is over. You catch this L/N, and we win."

The snitch sprouted wings and started to fly around me and harry.

"Woah," we exclaim.

*tiny tiny time skip*

"One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation or the ability to make objects fly."

I looked over to Harry who was sitting next to me and then I looked over to Ron who seemed to not be paying attention to the lesson. But seriously can you blame him? I don't want to be here either.

Professor Flitwick interrupted my thoughts by saying "do have your feathers."

I looked at my feather and made sure I had it. " Now don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing.the swish and flick." he demonstrated with his wand. "Everyone," he says, implying that we should do it too. I grab a steady hold of my wand and wait.

"The swish and flick," we said together why imitating the wrist movements.

"Good. now enunciate. Wingardium Leviosa."  he tells us.

Everyone picks up their wands and tries to cast the incantation. For some stupid reason it's not working for me and now I'm a bit frustrated.

I look over to Ron. "Wingardium Leviosa." he shakes his wand violently at the feather.

"Stop. stop.stop." Hermione interrupts him. Oh, this is going to be good. I decide to just sit back and observe what happens from my seat. "You're going to take someone's eye out." I literally talked to her about this. I wish she would help him nicely instead of being all smug about it. "Besides." she continues, "you're saying it wrong it's LeviOsa, not LeviosAR."

"You do it then if you're clever. Go on." Ron scowled. He's definitely annoyed.

Hermione picked up her wand and began. "Wingardium Leviosa" the feather started levitating while students began to look in shock.

"Well done! see here, everyone. Ms. Granger has done it." professor Flitwick exclaimed. Ron laid his head down on his books. Why does she keep upsetting him like this? I definitely can't be friends with someone like her. Professor Flitwick was still congratulating Hermione. I sent Ron a sad smile which he returned but immediately went back to being upset.

BOOM

I jumped in my chair a bit. I looked and saw that Seamus, who was on the other side of Harry, blew up his feather. His face was now covered in soot and his hair was very messy.

"I think we're going to need another feather over here professor," Harry said while staring at the feather that only moments ago had been burnt to a crisp. I looked at Harry and then at Professor Flitwick.

On our way out of class, I was walking with Ron, Harry, Dean, and Seamus.

"It's LeviOsa, not LevioSA." Ron mocked Hermione. I laughed and so did the rest of the group, obviously, it was funny. "she's a nightmare honestly. No wonder she hasn't gotten any friends." not anymore at least. Hermione pushed past Ron and shoved him slightly. She walked at a fast steady pace making sure to keep her head down. We slowed down our walking pace.

"I think she heard you," Harry says.

"She wasn't very nice to Ron either," I say and Ron nods at me.
