Okay, so this wasn't as great as I expected it to be. -sigh- I think the other chapters'll be better (hopefully, i'm not confident) :/
This wasn't in the book - I kinda edited it.
All 12 chapters (12 because you're touchy twelve, Ricey!) are dedicated to one of the most amazing friends in the world, Beatrice. HAPPEH BIRTHDAY~ Hope you like my, uh, half a present. Or one third. The rest is coming soon.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
The first thing you noticed were his bright, emerald eyes.
It's kinda stupid but before this when other people mentioned someone with green eyes you'd imagine a weird, crazy, freak, possibly mentally retarded. Or maybe that psychopath you once saw in St. Mungo's with those crossed eyes.
So how did creepy eyes fit so amazingly, so perfectly on him?
"H-Hi," you stutter, and immediately feel like smacking your own head.
This is not the time to get nervous, Ginerva Weasley! He's Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, the person who's got a freaking lightning scar on his head -
"Hi," he smiles back at you and your heart seems to have skipped a beat.
"Well - g-good luck in your first year."
You couldn't have come up with anything worse. You haven't even entered Hogwarts - what's he going to think? Is he going to laugh? Thank you?
Turns out your second guess was right.
"Thanks," he sighed. "I could use some luck in my first year - I don't even know anything about the wizarding world."
You could've told him all about Tales of Beetle the Bard and what Quidditch is about (you've been to matches, of course) and purebloods and the qualities of a Hogwarts student in Gryffindor but you decide that'd freak him out and furthermore the Hogwarts Express is about to leave, so you just bid him farewell with a simple goodbye.
That was when you met him, Harry Potter, for the first time.
