Authors Note: The first Chapter isn't really all that exciting as it is
just where Russell and James meet Aryn for the first time. I promise you
though it is going to get better soon. Please Review.
The Union of the Snake: Chapter One- Introduction
Walking into the Great Hall Aryn Branstone looked around in complete awe; she had never seen anything as grand as this in her life. Nervously she went over and sat down at the Gryffindor table and shyly reached over for a piece of toast.
Aryn had newly moved back to Britain from Australia and had recently been home schooled by her Mother, so coming to Hogwarts was a complete culture shock for her. It was especially worse that she had come in during the middle of her first year, everyone already knew one another and to Aryn making new friends seemed a daunting task. "Hello, you must be the new girl." A small ginger headed boy abruptly asked, Aryn smiled and nodded, "No need to be so quiet, it's not like I'm going to bite your head of or anything." The boy laughed, Aryn had never seen anyone with so many freckles on their face before it was although his whole face was one large orange spot. "I'm sorry, I haven't even introduced myself yet, I'm Russell, Russell Weasley." "I'm Aryn Branstone, I just moved here from Australia." Ayrn looked around nervously, she was happy someone was talking to her, but she really didn't know what to say to someone she had just met. "Hey! Russell" A tall black haired boy shouted over, "Who's your new friend?" He was soon over at the table and sitting down, great Aryn thought someone else I'll have to talk to. She really wasn't in the mood for new faces, she had never really had friends her own age and wasn't sure how she would come across to them.
"This is Aryn Branstone she's just moved here from Australia and this" he said as he put a hand on the boys shoulder, "this is James Potter, son of the famous Harry Potter and Grandson of his namesake James Potter." Aryn suddenly became a little more interested in this boy, she had read all about Harry Potter and his adventures. "So you're the son of the boy-who-lived?" She couldn't believe it she was in complete shock. "I'm afraid so, but please don't hold it against me." "Why would I do that, your Father is the most amazing wizard of our time!" Aryn couldn't help herself she was becoming breathless she had admired Harry since she was a little girl.
"Well, I'm not particularly keen on being recognised as Harry Potters Son, I prefer just James." He started putting butter on his toast, "So If you want to know about my Dad you should buy a book or something, I can recommend one if you like? But if you want to learn more about me, James Potter then I'll be more than happy to help." He smirked as he took a bite out of his breakfast.
"Of course, sorry I didn't mean to get carried away with myself." Aryn blushed, obviously she hadn't made too much of a good impression, "Have you two both got Potions this morning too?" Russell and James nodded their heads; both had a slightly disgusted expression as though they had just been reminded about something they would rather forget.
"Snape next then, talk about a crappy morning." Russell laughed, "If you want you can walk with us to class?" Aryn nodded before being asked a million and one questions from Russell, and being told something about giant Kangaroo's and had she ever seen one.
It seemed as though it wasn't going to that bad after all coming to Hogwarts and maybe just maybe now that she had two new friends it might just be enjoyable.
