A/N: First off, thank you to whoever will be reading this!
So, I don't own ANY of the Harry Potter characters, world, etc. etc. (I am not the Queen JK Rowling unfortunately)
This fanfiction will be quite...special, if I must say. I'm starting off with the first book/movie (I will be taking bits from both as I go along), but I will be using a different point of view than JK Rowling did. For the first bit of the fanfiction aka the first book, it will be mostly from Ron's point of view. Of course, I will try to include thoughts from all characters but as I said - most likely going to be Ron. I'll change point of views as I change books for future chapters.
I know this is a huge author's note, but I'd like to give you a good idea about what you're going to read. Considering I'm adding one character, MANY new scenes will be added (Don't worry anyone, totally not going to be boring!) , but I thought it'd be interesting to stay canon for the storyline (because it's already awesome as it is) and to get different point of views, since it's mainly Harry in the books.
Everyone ready to live in Ron's mind? (It's pretty funny if you ask me)
Enjoy!
This was an important day for Ronald Weasley, who people typically called 'Ron'. Today was his first day at Hogwarts, not that he wasn't excited. He was, but he was also scared. Scared he wouldn't be good enough, compared to his brothers. Of course, he knew Fred and George did not excel in this domain and this was not who he was comparing himself to, but rather Charlie, Percy and Bill. The three of them had been brilliant, and, well, Ron didn't know if he'd be as good as them.
It was even more intimidating knowing that his sister, Jade, had already read all the textbooks and was far more ready than he was.
They had been living in the same room ever since she was born, simply because apparently she had ''not been expected'', and there was no room left in the Burrow. Of course, then Ginny happened and they needed to have a new room, but it was then that Bill left to find his own place, and everything worked fine. Molly and Arthur had thought of moving Ginny and Jade together, considering they were the only female children in the household populated by male gingerheads, but both Ron and Jade had thrown a temper tantrum in order to keep Jade in Ron's room, considering the two of them had been like best friends ever since they had known each other, which was only a few months of age.
Of course, they bickered a lot – they were siblings, after all. But at the end of the day, no one knew the other more.
And although they were completely different from one another, that did not change the fact that both shared a common love for Quidditch, and the hopes of becoming a player one day. Both cheered the Chuddley Cannons like no other, having their room painted in orange at a very young age to support the team.
There was only one thing, that always made Ron wonder.
Jade was blonde. And not strawberry blonde, no. She couldn't pass for a ginger. It was a pure golden blonde, and to him, it made no sense. Literally every one in the family was a gingerhead with blue eyes, yet she was blonde with green eyes. It made no sense, and he could figure as much. Moreover, as he aged, he realized their birthdays were only a few months apart, and a pregnancy lasted 9 months. How was it possible that his mother had Jade?
It didn't. And thus, Ron asked his mother about the fact that Jade might be adopted, exactly a year from now. And of course, Molly was completely scandalized and told him to never say such a thing, and that ''Jade was a part of the family ever since she was born'' and left it at that. He had wanted to tell her, but was advised by his father to not do so.
And anyway, even if she was adopted, it wasn't like it would matter to him. She'd be his sister, whether it was by blood or not.
However, as he approached the time he'd have to go to school, he realized more and more how different she was from him. She was studying, all the time. They weren't even at school that she was reading every book at every hour of the day, and she was so excited to start, while Ron didn't even know what subjects he would be taught. It was only the first day, which was now, that he started looking at his textbooks, putting them in his messy suitcase. His mother was running around the house to make sure everyone had everything packed, which was hilarious considering Ron had started just now, Jade reminding him everything he ought to bring so he wouldn't be in trouble.
Of course, she had everything packed since a week ago. Thankfully, she was not minding that he was messy as hell, and that he was not organized as she was. That pleased him, because quite frankly, he would have gone mad if she had wanted him to do everything as she did.
Nonetheless, he was thankful for her help, which made him able to be one time for the train. His mother made him slightly nervous, not that it showed. When they arrived to King Cross' station he was amazed to finally be on his journey to Hogwarts, and all of his nervosity seemed to flee off of his body.
Jade, on the other hand, seemed to be close to a panic attack.
''What if they put me in Slytherin? Or Ravenclaw? Or Hufflepuff? OR ANYTHING NOT GRYFFINDOR?'' she asked, completely scandalized.
''It doesn't matter which house you will be put in, sweetheart. They are all great houses.'' Reassured Molly.
Fred snorted. ''Right, because Slytherin is such a great house, mum.'' He rolled his eyes, looking down at Jade with a smirk. ''You know, with all that reading you did, bet you will be in Ravenclaw.''
She widened her eyes in terror. ''Noooooooo!'' she exclaimed before she started shaking Ron. ''Why didn't you stop me?!''
''Relax, Jade.'' He began before he exchanged a look with his brothers, a smirk of his own appearing on his lips. ''You are such a hard worker, that means you'd go to Hufflepuff.''
She seemed terrified, which made the twins and Ron laugh, but made Molly scold them. And when she scolded them, it was only normal that all of them stopped laughing, swallowing hard. That woman could be terrifying, after all.
''Being organized and a hard worker are two very good qualities Jade possesses that none of you three possess.'' She pointed out, glaring at Ron, Fred and George.
''That's unfair, Mum. We do work very hard. Just not at school!'' retorted George, which only made Molly even more exasperated. She nonetheless dropped the subjects before she carried on, walking towards the 9 and 10 Muggle Station, to finally get to the Hogwarts Express. After all, it was getting late.
There were more and more people in King Cross' station, so many that Ron kept being pushed by muggles that wanted to get on their train. He muttered a couple of Bloody Hells when one literally pushed him over, but it wasn't like Ron could do anything. He was 11 years old, and everyone around were adults. Or well, everyone but his family and other wizards he could easily spot in the station. They had wizard robes, Ron wondering why they didn't dress as muggles, to blend in. Then again, nobody seemed to care. In King's Cross Station, everybody cared about going to their train - nothing more.
He noticed he was far behind his brothers and thus pushed his cart to make himself a way through the station, noticing his mother was speaking to a boy his age.
''Nine and 3/4 is indeed this way! Are you a first year as well?'' She asked him as the boy with the messy, raven hair nodded. ''Ron and Jade are also in first year.'' She added, gesturing to Ron, her eyes widening as she realized there was no sign of Jade behind Ron.
He barely even had the time to smile back to the boy with the round glasses that he turned around to notice why his mother seemed so terrified, Ron himself now seeing that his little sister was indeed missing.
Molly looked at the time before she turned to Ron. ''You show him how to get passed the gate, alright Ron? I'll find Jade, don't miss the train!''
''But what if she misses the train?'' He asked, worried.
''We'll find a way!'' She said as she started walking towards the other way, turning her head every now and then as she was clearly already trying to find her daughter. ''Have a great year, we'll write you every week!'' She finished before she was gone, Ron unable to find his parents through the muggles pushing their way through the station.
''Do you want to go find her?'' Asked the boy beside him, his green eyes staring at Ron through his round glasses.
The gingerhead turned his head to face the other wizard before he gulped, shaking his head. ''We'll be late if we turn around now. My mum and dad will find her, I'm sure.'' He said, hoping his words were true. The boy with the glasses nodded. Soon enough, Ron ran through the wall like he had seen his brothers do so many times, and then, he could see how packed the Hogwarts Express station was. If he thought the muggles were bad at pushing him to find a way through the station, this was surely worse. It wasn't long until Ron was pushed to move to the wagons, the gingerhead not seeing anyone he knew, not even his brothers, or his mother back with his sister.
Not even the boy with the glasses and the messy raven hair.
Ron felt panic overwhelm him, but he knew better than that. He simply had to go on the train, and everything would be fine. He was only going to Hogwarts, the school was would decide of his future.
The thought of it made him terrified. Was he ready? Would he be good at magic? Would he be in Gryffindor? Come to think of it, what if he was put in Slytherin? His brothers would never let him breathe in peace for the rest of his life! He suddenly started to feel bad considering he had made fun of Jade's fear of being put in another house than Gryffindor, because it was striking him just now, as he was finally going on the Hogwarts Express.
He swallowed hard as he handed his ticket, knowing he had to go. It'd be worse to come back home like a coward and miss the train, right? Worse than being in Slytherin, right? Or well, this was what he convinced himself. After all, he was now inside the train, and there was no turning back.
He took a deep breath before he started to search for an empty cabin, but clearly there was none. He tried asking to join some other first years, but they all stared at him as if he came from another planet.
When he arrived at the last cabin of the train, he sighed and pulled on the handle, hoping it would be empty.
But there was the boy with the glasses. He sighed in relief, hoping that he wouldn't mind if he sat next to him.
''Do you mind? All the other ones are taken.'' He asked with a small smile, and the boy invited him to join him. Thank god, Ron thought. ''Thanks.'' He said as he sat across him. ''I'm Ron, by the way. Ron Weasley.''
''I'm Harry, Harry Potter. Nice to meet you, Ron.'' He replied, smiling, until he noticed Ron widening his eyes and staring at him, Harry literally not understanding the ginger head's reaction.
Of course, he was impressed. The boy who lived, the boy who lived the killing curse, casted by none other than He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. It was him, right in front of him. He couldn't not believe it. ''You're…You're…Harry Potter?'' he mumbled, his jaw dropping. ''Can I…see it?''
Harry's eyebrows narrowed in confusion, until he understood what Ron meant. ''Oh, the scar. Of course.'' He grinned before he showed him, quite amused by his reaction.
''Wow!'' he replied, completely amazed.
Harry chuckled before he let his hair fall on his forehead again, the two of them staying in silence for a moment before Harry spoke. ''Did you find your sister?''
Being reminded of his sister Ron widened his eyes, knowing very well that she was not yet on the train, and it had started moving. Or maybe she was in another cabin. The thought of it made him frown, why would Jade go in a cabin without him? To make new friends? He recalled the two of them were more likely inseparable, so why on Earth would she decide to make this trip to Hogwarts without him?
Maybe it was because he had teased her. He swallowed hard, feeling bad even more. However, it was rubbish. It wasn't like being in another house than gryffindor was a sin, right? Of course, Ron feared being put in Slytherin. But any of the other houses would be fine. Then again, it wasn't like Ron was the wise one - so Ravenclaw was out. Loyal and hard worker? Ron was loyal, but not so much of a hard worker. Then, there was Slytherin with their ambitions, things Ron did not posess. He wanted to be an Auror, sure, but that was the dream job of any wizard his age.
Finally, there was Gryffindor - the brave and stubborn ones. He was stubborn yes, but brave? He wasn't sure about that. Hell, he had many fears.
For a moment he felt himself panic but he knew that the Chosing Hat would make the right choice for him. It always did, right? From Ron's reasoning, he would be probably sorted in either Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, which wasn't that bad.
Anything but Slytherin, really.
''Ron?'' Asked Harry, seeing the gingerhead seemed to be lost in some kind of trance.
Ron woke up from his thoughts as he stared at Harry, remembering his question before his thoughts drifted away. ''Oh, um, no but I'm sure she's fine.'' He shrugged, trying to pretend like he was not concerned whatsoever, while truly he was.
Some of his friends back at the Burrow always made fun of him because he was so close to his sister - apparently siblings are supposed to be on bad terms or something like that -, and he didn't want to look like that in front of Harry, the Boy who lived.
Then again, it wasn't like Ron was good to hide when he was worrying. He thus got up, rubbing the back of his neck nervously as his ears turned to red, like it always would when he was shy. ''I should probably check up on her, y'know, just in case she doesn't find a cabin.'' He said as he walked to the sliding. ''I, huh, will be back!'' He added before he left, literally searching in every cabin.
And missing the moment when Jade passed right behind him, doing the exact same thing. She arrived to the last one, the one where Harry was, opening it and sighing in frustration.
''Have you seen a wizard named Ronald? He is a bit taller than me, ginger hair...?'' She asked, raising an eyebrow.
Harry turned to look at her, a bit confused by how she referred to Ron, then again it made sense that Ron was a nickname for Ronald. ''Yes! He was right here actually, he went looking for his sister.''
A smile lit up her small face as she entered the cabin, sitting across Harry. ''Good! Then I'll just wait for him here, he will probably come back sooner or later.''
Harry raised an eyebrow, confused yet again, until he put one and one together and understood. ''You're his sister?''
''Yes.'' She nodded, smiling still. ''Jade Lily Weasley, enchanted to meet you. You are?'' She asked, tilting her head.
He grinned, content to make connections with wizards and witches. He didn't know Jade and Ron well, but he could tell he would get along with them.
''I'm Harry Potter, it is nice to meet you.''
She widened her eyes in shock, much like Ron did. ''Harry Potter. I've read about you in books!'' She paused.
''I'm in books?'' He asked, surprised.
''Yes!'' She replied before her smile disappeared, her eyebrows knitting themselves together before an apologetic look appeared on her features. ''I'm sorry for what happened.'' She confessed. ''Voldemort is horrible.''
He was surprised by her reaction. Everyone seemed so amazed to see him, to talk to him, yet he felt like he had done nothing to recieve this treatment. Hagrid had told him that he was the only one to have survived the killing curse, but he didn't understand why he had to be famous for that. Every time someone seemed content to see him, it made him feel like the loss of his parents made him famous in the wizarding world, and truly, he would much rather be unknown by any community, muggle or wizard, and have his parents back.
He smiled at her, happy to see someone that finally acknoledged what he had to go through. He was also agreably surprised to see she called Voldemort by his own name. Harry couldn't understand why no one dared to speak his name, and he was glad to see he was not the only one.
He was about to answer when he heard the door of the cabin open, Ron entering and staring at Jade. ''There you are!'' He exclaimed, sighing as he sat beside her. ''Bloody hell Jade, where were you?''
''Mum found me, but I wasn't lost.'' She explained. ''I saw a muggleborn with her parents trying to find the station so I helped them!'' She added, grinning. ''Her name is Hermione Granger. I sat with her for a bit and guess what, Ron! She also read all of the books before classes! I actually told her I would come back after I saw you.'' She finished, visibly excited. ''She knows everything, Ron! Everything I read!''
Ron frowned, not liking the news. They weren't even in Hogwarts yet and Jade already had found herself a Know-It-All? Ron surely did not like this. What if Jade was to be in Ravenclaw with that Herminny or whatever her name was?
He grumbled something inaudible before Jade stood up and spoke once more. ''I'll be going now, Hermione must be waiting.'' She smiled. ''It was really nice meeting you, Harry.'' She added as she slided the door. ''Oh! I forgot. Mum gave me this in case you want to buy yourself a chocolate frog.'' She gave Ron a few galleons and then left, her brother scowling.
''I don't like this Hermi-one, or whatever. Did you see that? She just left!'' Ron grumbled, visibly annoyed.
Harry seemed rather amused by Ron's reaction. ''You're really close to her, aren't you?''
Ron widened his eyes as he realized what Harry had asked, the gingerhead not knowing whether he should simply tell the truth or play it off as something else.
However, Harry carried on, to Ron's relief. ''I think it's really great. I wish I had a sister I get along with as well. Or a brother, really.'' He confessed.
''Really?'' Asked Ron, obviously relieved. ''Well I have a lot of brothers but three of them are really busy and don't really pay attention to me. Fred and George always make fun of me and do tests on me. They fabricate some kind of tricks to make fun of people.'' He rolled his eyes. ''I also have a little sister, Ginny. She's okay.'' He shrugged. ''We bicker a lot because she spends waaaaay too much time in the bathroom, whatever she does.'' Ron explained, Harry chuckling at his words. ''Jade's great, she's actually my best friend. She's a bit of a bookworm but she's not boring at all! She actually likes Quidditch and it's our dream to play for the Chuddley Cannons if we end up good enough.''
Harry had learned a bit about Quidditch while shopping for a broom in Diagon Alley, but he wasn't familiar with the teams. ''Chuddley Cannons?'' He thus asked, Ron's eyes widening.
''You don't know the Chuddley Cannons? By Merlin! You're really lucky you found me, Harry.'' He said before he started explaining all the teams, the tactics, and pretty much everything he knew about Quidditch.
Soon enough the trolley arrived and Harry bought literally everything, to Ron's amazement. The two of them surely were having fun, until they tried doing a spell and someone went in to ruin everything.
''Have you seen a toad named Trevor? Neville lost it.'' She spoke, right after she opened the door of the cabin. She then noticed how they had their wands out, a detail that obviously caught her attention. ''Doing magic, are we?'' She asked, a smile curving her lips. ''I've tired a couple of spells, but it always works for me.'' She proudly stated before she entered the cabin, sitting across the two of them. Ron and Harry exchanged a look as Ron frowned, visibly not liking her attitude.
She narrowed her eyebrows as she noticed Harry's broken glasses, taking out her wand. ''Oculus Reparo!'' She said, his glasses instantly repaired. Harry looked at them, amazed as he showed Ron.
''You're Harry Potter!'' She exclaimed, noticing the scar. Harry put back his glasses, not having the time to speak that she spoke again. ''I'm Hermione Granger.'' She added, Ron almost choking on the candy he was eating. ''And you are...?''
He couldn't believe this was the Hermione Granger that Jade had spoken about. ''Ron Weasley'' he replied, his mouth full.
''Pleasure.'' She said, wrinkling her nose. A gesture that was not well taken by Ron, which already did not like her. She then stood up, much to his relief. She then widened her eyes, turning to Ron. ''You're Jade's brother!'' She realized, her whole face brightening. She then raised an eyebrow as she glanced up and down at him. ''I don't know if you've realized, but you don't look at all like her.'' She finished, opening the door of the cabin. ''You two should get into your Hogwarts robes, we're arriving soon.''
Ron rolled his eyes, not even bothering to reply to her. It wasn't lile she'd even let him place a word. It seemed like she would literally never stop talking.
''By the way, you have something right here on your nose, my friend.'' She finally finished, leaving the cabin.
Ron turned to Harry after he wiped the side of his nose, his friend shrugging as he clearly did not understand what Hermione was going on about.
''Do you ever think she'd stop talking?'' Asked the gingerhead, Harry responding by shaking his head. Ron snorted, rolling his eyes once more. ''Who does she think she is, judging us like that? I really don't see why Jade gets along with her.''
Harry nodded again. ''She did repair my glasses, though.''
Ron frowned. ''Are you on her side or mine?''
''Yours, of course.'' He replied.
Ron sighed in relief. ''Good.''
''Do you think we should get our robes?'' Harry then asked, referring to Hermione's advice.
Ron shook his head. ''Nope. I'm sure we will have time.''
They didn't.
A/N: This is it! Thoughts?
Thank you everyone for reading and taking a look!
Not sure which point of view I will be using for the second book, but for Prisoner of Azkaban, I am definitely going to use Hermione's POV, because that year will be so interesting for her, with the time-turner and all.
For the 4th book, I was thinking of going back to Ron, because of what happens with Harry and the goblet of fire, how Ron gets mad, etc. etc. Let me know what you think.
For the 5th book, I will definitely be going back and forth with POV's for both Harry and my OWN character, Jade Lily Weasley. You'll see in great detail who she is, no worries! I'm not doing a POV of her until the Order of the Phoenix, so you'll get a pretty good picture o who she is before you truly get into her mind!
For the 6th book, I'm still unsure. Thoughts?
7th book is going to be a surprise for you all, and TANTANTANNNNN, I'm also writing a 8th book, because, hey-ho, seven books for Harry Potter? THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE! Of course, that book will be completely AU, nothing CANON there, just saying beforehand.
