"Come on, Roxanne!" Lysander urged, " The boats aren't gonna wait for us!"
" They will if Hagrid is in charge!" Roxanne retorted.
"Yeah, but you're cousins aren't going to be so happy about you making everyone wait to start the feast!" Lysander said again, " Do you want a famous James prank on our first day at Hogwarts?"
"No, I guess not... Come on slow poke!" Roxanne said, already running to catch up to the retreating first years.
Roxanne Weasley, youngest daughter to the infamous George Weasley, and Lysander Scamander are two of the several first years starting Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year. Roxanne and Lysander are best friends, but are very different from each other. On an average day, Lysander is very dreamy, very much like his mother, the wizard naturalist, Luna Scamander née Lovegood. Where Roxanne takes after both her mother and father, George Weasley and Angelina Weasley née Johnson. She is a notorious prankster within her family, but also a sweet, loving girl.
Lysander is of average height, with dirty blond hair, and sea green eyes, while Roxanne is very tall, with dark skin, hair, and eyes. The two met when they were three years old, on May 2, the same day the Battle of Hogwarts was fought, and Roxanne's father lost his twin brother.
"Haha!" Roxanne says, turning a few heads. She was remembering what had happened about ten minutes ago. They are standing in front of the teachers' table in the Great Hall. The sorting is going on.
"Scamander, Lorcan!" Professor Longbottom calls. Lorcan is Lysander's twin brother, older than Lysander by 13 minutes. Lorcan is very similar to Lysander by their physical appearance, but he is much more aware of his surroundings. After a few seconds, the Sorting Hat calls,
" Hufflepuff!" Lorcan climbs off the stool and stumbles to the clapping table in the middle of the room. He sits next to Creevey, Gwendolyn, another first year previously sorted into Hufflepuff.
"Scamander, Lysander!" Professor Longbottom bellows again.
"Good luck!" Roxanne whispers to him, propelling him forward. He stumbles for a second, then, gaining his composure, walks the rest of the way to the stool. About sixty seconds later, " Gryffindor! " rings throughout the hall. Roxanne claps as loud and hard as she can while Lysander basically runs to the table where most of Roxanne's cousins sit.
A few minutes go by.
"Weasley, Roxanne!" Professor Longbottom calls. On wobbly knees Roxanne walks up to the old, rickety stool. Six seconds later, "Gryffindor!" is heard throughout the hall. With a sigh of relief, Roxanne rises from the stool and sprints to her cousins James, Louis, and Lily. James is a seventh year; Lily and Louis are fifth years. Also her fourth year brother, Fred, is standing, with arms wide open, ready to have Roxanne fill.
"Great job kiddo!" he says, consuming her in a hug. "Go sit down with Lys." She obliges and looks around the room, searching for her various cousins. She sees Rose and her boyfriend Scorpius Malfoy, another sixth year, at the Ravenclaw table. Rose stops talking long enough to look up and wave at Roxanne. At the Slytherin table, Roxanne spots her cousin Dominique, sitting with her other seventh year friends. Dom smiles at her. Roxanne turns to the other direction and sees her favorite cousin Hugo sitting with Alice Longbottom at the Hufflepuff table. They stop snogging long enough for both to wave at her. A little ways up the table a little sits Albus, Roxanne's soft spoken sixth year cousin. He offers a friendly smile and a little wave, then mouths, " Eat something, Roxy" to her.
"We both got into Gryffindor!" Lysander exclaims, spitting some food out onto his half filled plate.
"Yeah! I can't wait to write Mum and Dad!" Roxanne replies, beginning to pile her plate high with steaming food.
"It's a shame that Lorc didn't though," Lysander remarks, dejectedly.
"I don't think he feels that way Lys. Look at him, Lorc seems to be enjoying himself if you ask me," Roxanne snorts. Lorcan seems to be cracking joke after joke, while his new friend Gwendolyn laughs very hard, to the point where she snorts.
After about half an hour, the prefects take all the first years on a tour of the castle and then take them to their separate common rooms. The two best friends, Roxanne and Lysander, say goodbye to each other and go to their dorms.
