train ride

As you're walking down the alley of the train on your way to another year at Hogwarts, you hear a loud thud behind you, followed by a painful groan. You turn around to see two, tall red headed boys, one laying face first on the ground, and your black cat sitting right by his head.

"Oh goodness I'm so sorry!" You say running to help the boy, "that cat can be a bit of a nuisance, are you alright?"

"Oh don't worry about it, I'm okay", the boy replies, standing up and brushing off his robes.

"And what might your name be?" The other boy asks.

You look back and forth between the boys, quickly realizing they seem to be twins, as they look very much alike.

"Y/n y/l/n", you say, reaching out your hand to one of the twins.

"Fred and George Weasley", they say in unison, shaking your hand both at the same time.

"Uh, nice to meet you", you say with a little laugh, "which ones which?"

"Oh sorry, he's George, I'm Fred", the boy on the right says, "Do you want to sit with us y/n?"

"Sure!", you reply, happy he asked since you normally don't have anyone to sit with on the train ride back to school.

The three of you find a compartment to feed into and take your seats, Fred sits on one side and you and George sit on the other.

"So what year are you? I can't say I've ever seen you before", George asks.

"I'm a 3rd year, I guess I kind of normally keep to myself", you say, looking down at your shoes.

"We're 3rd years too!" The boys exclaim in unison.

"You're a Hufflepuff aye?" Fred asks, looking down to your black and yellow tie.

"Oh yeah, and you're Gryffindors, maybe that's why we haven't seen each other", you reply smiling.

"Do you like candy?" George asks, handing a candy wrapped in purple plastic out to you.

"Those are our favorite", Fred adds with a suspicious wink.

You grab the piece of candy and carefully examine it. Recognizing it almost immediately as an exploding candy from Zonko's Joke Shop, that explodes when you put it in your mouth,

"this is an exploding sweet isn't it?" You ask with a proud smile.

"Bloody hell! How did you know?" Fred asks.

"My brother used to give these to me all the time when I was little, it's the oldest trick in the book", you reply chuckling and tossing the candy back to George.

"Well if you can identify an exploding candy that quick, we may just have to recruit you into our team", Fred says, looking over to his brother.

"Your team? Who are the members?" You ask.

"Oh, well it's just George and I", Fred replies, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

"But you can help us with our pranks if you want!" George exclaims, breaking the somewhat awkward silence.

"Well then I would love to join your team", you say, nudging him on the shoulder.

The twins both smile and the three of you talk for a while getting to know each other and cracking jokes here and there. After what seems like hours of you talking, Fred stands up and leaves the compartment.

"I'm gonna run to the toilet, be right back", he says poking his head through the door and then walking off, leaving just you and George in the compartment. It's silent for a while as he's brushing through a newspaper and you're looking out the window admiring the scenery.

"Hey sorry about my cat earlier", you say apologetically, looking over to him.

"Oh no worries, I would've probably tripped over something anyway", he replies with a soft smile.

As you're looking at him, you can't help but notice how handsome his features are. He had soft hazel brown eyes that seemed glossy and innocent. His hair was a gingery red color, quite messy and tussled. He had a lot of freckles scattered around his face and his smile was welcoming and bright.

"Well since I know you're not hurt, I'll admit it was pretty funny", you reply, holding your stomach with laughter.

He punches your arm softly and looks down to his newspaper. As Fred stumbles back into the compartment, you feel yourself slightly blushing at the encounter between you and George.

This is gonna be a good year,
you think to yourself, looking out the window with a smile.
