When They First Got Their Letters

Chapter 3: Ron

(A/N: OH MY GOSH!!! I have reviews!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Please keep them coming, because they just brighten up my day!!!

abigfan: Thanks for the idea; I was kinda thinking of the same thing. Thanks for telling me to keep writing. *breaks down and cries* Sorry. Oh yeah, the ants thing. Well, my mom's friend e-mailed my mom a newspaper article, and my mom was reading it while I was online, so I heard it too. Well, the headline was "Don't Leave Candy Beside Your Bed, It Can Kill You"; I know, it's weird, but still. It's saying that a young boy left candy on his beside table, and it attracted ants. The ants went into his ear and up to his brain. The ants started living there and feasting on the brain. Meanwhile, the boy constantly complains about headaches and itches, and the boy's parents sees ants in his room all the time. Finally, his parents brought him to the doctors, and the doctors said that the boy is going to die because the ants are eating his brain, and there is nothing they can do about it. Weird, yes, I know. And ever since the jerk "accidentally" threw the basketball across the court widthwise and hit my nose, I've been having headaches. And also, I guess it's because I'm not a girly girl and I don't moisturize my skin, I have itches. So I keep on making a joke that I'm constantly growing stupider because I also have ants in my head. It annoys my parents, so I like to bring it up. That's all. I know it's stupid, oh well.

AlexaDonaghy: Thank you for your review! Now that I think about it, you're right. I guess I should've made them more shocked. And also, thanks for the suggestion!)

            "The letters from Hogwarts are here!" said Percy Weasley excitedly, as he opened his. "I'm a prefect! Mum, look! I'm a prefect! And here's the badge!"

            "Well done dear!" Mrs. Weasley said. "Now if only Fred and George behaves themselves."

            Just then, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny came into the kitchen.

            "The Hogwarts letters arrived," Mrs. Weasley stated.

            "And I'm a prefect!" Percy blurted out, already wearing the badge on his pajamas.

            "That's great Perce," yawned Fred.

            "Is my letter here?" Ron asked nervously. He knows he's going to get in, but he's nervous for the slim chance that he won't.

            "It's right here," said Percy, handing out the three envelopes that aren't his.

            "Great job honey!" Mrs. Weasley said, grinning widely. She's always really happy when her children receive their first Hogwarts letters, like it's her that got it instead of them.

            "Thanks Percy," Ron said, with a tone of relieve in his voice that nobody picked up.

            "Mum, can I have an owl now that I'm a prefect? It would be much more useful than Scabbers," Percy said.

            "That's fine dear. We'll buy you an owl as a gift for getting such honor. Second prefect in the family! You can give Scabbers to Ron so he can have a pet too at Hogwarts," Mrs. Weasley replied.

            "But Mum," Ron said, "it says 'Students may also bring an owl OR a cat OR a toad', nothing about rats."

            "I've already gotten permission from Professor Dumbledore, or I wouldn't have dared to bring him to Hogwarts. It'll be fine," Percy said.

            "Perfect prefect Percy," said George under his breath. And as a result, he received a glare from Percy so full of hate from mocking the honorable position that he just got, George would've died several times, that is, if looks could kill. But George didn't see it, nor do looks kill.

            "Wait until I tell Arthur," said Mrs. Weasley, more to herself than to the boys and Ginny, "second prefect in the family!"

(A/N: Well, there's chapter 3 for ya. *sighs deeply* Now that I did the three main characters, I was thinking I should also include Neville and Draco, for I have ideas for their reactions. If you have ideas for other characters first times, including teachers, and their reactions to them, please tell me in your review, which, if you don't already know, I really need and like. So, please, please, PLEASE, review!)
