Chapter 1- Hogwarts Express

This Chapter is dedicated to CharlesMoffat 😊 Hope you like the story!

A feeling of great exhilaration swept over y/n  as she rushed up to the steaming Hogwarts express, that was waiting to take young wizards and witches beginning their school year. She had been waiting for her first year to begin at Hogwarts since she finished her muggle school for the summer holidays. The moment she found out she was a wizard was the best moment of her life, both her parents were muggles and were perplexed when an owl had landed on the kitchen table during breakfast.

She waved a hand to clear the smoke, and was held aback when she saw how many students were grinning from the windows. What if she didn't make friends? y/n thought sadly of her old muggle friends. she hadn't heard from them at all. It was as if... they didn't care. 

Heaving her trunk and owl, who was elegant, sleek and chestnut. O/n (Owl name) clicked her beak impatiently, desperate to flee her prison. "Not too long now," y/n lied. There was a long journey ahead, and she knew it.

Waving at her parents, y/n dragged her luggage through the moving train, her parents becoming mere specks in the cloud of smoke billowing around her. No sooner than she had taken her first step, all her belongings came crashing to the ground. Fumbling with her wand, she tried to quieten her flustered owl, who was drawing a lot of unwanted attention from the rest of the passengers. Two sturdy arms helped her up and carried all her luggage. 

"Hey, my name's George. You must be a first year-" A ginger, lanky and  freckly boy grinned, "Cause only a first year can't hold all their stuff without collapsing!" another one laughed. They were twins. " I'm Fred,  and by the way did you see Harry? Harry Potter? we heard-" "That he was coming here!" George finished him off.  Fred picked up something, a teddy. "Aw, you're like whittle Ronikins! he had a teddy when he was three-" "But we turned it into a spider". It was a little creepy, the way they knew what they would say before they said it, and the turning the teddy into a spider, but nonetheless y/n thanked them graciously. She tucked the teddy away, embarrassed. She had kept it all these years, she would need it to feel confident at school. After finding an empty compartment, she browsed through fantastic beasts and where to find them. She was hoping to train a unicorn one day, even her own children would be able to ride it. 

The trolley witch came over and asked kindly, "What would you like dear?". After having a box of bertie Bot's every flavour beans, abandoning them half way after getting a golden one tasting of ear-wax, she heard loud noises from the compartment beside her. Whispers followed her as she saw what the commotion was. A black-haired boy with bright green eyes hidden behind round spectacles and a lightening bolt shaped scar on his brow was seated next to a ginger, freckly boy. She assumed he must be related to the twins in some way. The were both glaring at a blonde boy with an upturned nose and cold, grey eyes in expensive robes. Two huge boys towered over him like body-guards, one howling in pain as a large, grey rat bit his finger. 

"What the-" y/n cried out. They all looked in her direction, making y/n feel subconscious as her face grew warm. "I was just wondering what was going on-" she broke off as Ron bellowed, "Y'know, since you always stay with your cronies why don't you stay with them forever!". Rolling up the sleeves of his robes dramatically, he waved his wand around angrily. 

"Lock, rope, chain and tether, join these two... straight together!". Of coarse, no one in the compartment expected his spell to actually work, but froze in their spots. Crabbe ungracefully lunged for the ground, missing the spell entirely...

...while y/n and Draco felt their wrists slam together....
