It was Molly Weasley II's first day at Hogwarts.
And, like for all things, she had a plan.
She had several plans, really. She had all of her school things perfectly organized, had a map of the castle handy along with her schedule, and she was following Victoire, Teddy and Dominique as much as possible.
They were in a group walking her to her first class. "Don't worry about it, cheri," Vicki reassured her.
Teddy, with an arm around Vicki's shoulders, said, "Yeah, Ravenclaw classes are usually nice. Smart kids, and you're with the Hufflepuffs, not like they're gonna cause trouble." He shot a look at Dominique, who shrugged. "See?"
Finally, Dominique, quietly, said, "House prejudice aside, Vicki's right."
"Gee, thanks," said Teddy.
Molly nodded, just absorbing the information. She was more cynical than her cousins, but she was trying to put it aside for just one second to put up with them.
They reached the classroom.
"Well, good luck, kiddo," said Teddy, and ruffled her hair, making Molly scowl.
"You'll be fine," said Vicki. "We'll see you after." Dominique nodded in agreement.
Then the family was out of sight.
Finally, Molly had to think, and readjusted her books before entering her very first class.
