diffindo: a hogwarts fanfiction || fred weasley || draco malfoy

the first day

A/N:

Thank you so much everyone for all the comments and favs on the last chapter!

Seeing you guys enjoy my story and my imagination truly makes me happy. As soon as I uploaded the second chapter I started writing down notes for the third one. I can't get enough of my own story lol, I have no idea if that is cocky to say but I truly enjoy what I'm writing.

Some additional information:

In this chapter the famous Veritaserum will have a part. In my AU the Potion is way easier to brew than in the real universe so keep that in mind while reading.

Also, the Weasley Twins are in the same year as the Golden Trio.

For this chapter I suggest you listen to this Playlist on Spotify! It's similar to the last one but has a bit more songs in it:

Here is the third chapter "the first day"

_____________________________________________________________

*The evening after the sorting*

After the fight with Aline Damien wanted nothing more but to distract himself. His three Hufflepuff roommates were clearly concerned for Damien and asked him if they could do anything to help but he declined and assured them he was fine. The three looked at each other understanding that he was not fine but did not want to talk about it further. They respected his wishes. 

They walked towards the kitchen corridor and stopped in front of a stack of barrels. Damien looked at them in confusion as they smiled at him.

"Ready?" grinned Cedric. Damien nodded his head in curiosity and stared at Cedric as he tapped the barrel two from the bottom, middle of the second row, in a certain rhythm. The lid of the barrel sprung open exposing a passageway.

Cedric bowed down in front of Damien pointing at the barrel. "Your majesty if you will" he said with a French accent. All of them, including Damien, started laughing. Damien rolled his eyes and pushed Cedric to the side as he crawled into the passageway. He now understood why their House Animal was a Badger.

Damien crawled towards the light at the end of the tunnel, Zacharias right behind him. As Damien stretched his head out of the passageway a scent that reminded him of an early morning in spring reached his nose. He closed his eyes to focus on it more, it smelled like grass, rosemary and morning dew.

As he opened his eyes again, he took an extensive look around the room. The room reminded him of a basement but in a more friendly way than usual. The room was round and earthy with a low ceiling. It felt welcoming and warm and even though it was dark outside the room still had a bright energy to it. 

There were lots of yellow hangings, burnished copper and overstuffed sofas and armchairs upholstered in yellow and black. Circular windows covered the walls that provided a view onto the grass and dandelions outside. The room itself was also decorated with many different plants, some of them lively others not so much.

"Will you move?" Ernest grunted from behind Zacharias which was followed up by a laughter from Cedric.

Damien crawled out of the passageway into the Common Room. The three Hufflepuff boys crawled out of the passageway as well and afterwards showed him around their Common Room and introduced him to their dorm and his new bed.
