CHAPTER 1 - YEAR ONE: BEGINNING AND TRAIN RIDE
"Hurry up, Sweety!" came the cry of Anne Prewett from the kitchen.
Molly Prewett, being the only child, was more than excited for today was the day that she was leaving Hogwarts. She had dreamt of this moment for many years but now that it was here, she couldn't believe it. She, Molly Prewett, was now old enough to go to Hogwarts.
Grabbing the wand that she had received only a few weeks ago, Molly ran out of her room towards the kitchen. Although the Prewett family had been known to be able to trace their pure-blooded lines back to the fourteenth century, they were not as rich as the Malfoys but not as poor as the Weasleys. Her father worked in the ministry as head Law Enforcement while her mother stayed at home and raised their only daughter. Therefore, their income was high enough for them to have their all of their needs and most of their wants.
Arriving in the kitchen, Molly saw her mother standing at the stove making Molly's favourite breakfast: blueberry pancakes. Anne Prewett nee Townsend was one of those women who were beautiful on the inside and out. She had black flowing hair with sparkling blue eyes and a tall elegant figure but her homey cheerful personality was what attracted people the most. Most of the time, Molly wished that she looked like her mother instead of having the orange hair that she had received from her father. She hated her hair and mostly thought of herself as unattractive but what she didn't see in the mirror were the mysterious dazzling blue eyes that stared back at her.
"Hi mum," said Molly seating herself in front of the seat with orange juice and milk.
"Hi sweety," said her mum turning around. "How are you this morning?"
"I'm ok," answered Molly as she started to drink her cup of milk.
"Are you excited about today?" asked her mum after placing the plate in front of her and sitting beside Molly.
"Yeah," said Molly grinning. "I can feel the butterflies in my stomach."
Her mother smiled cheerfully as Molly continued to enjoy her pancakes. And they shared light conversations about what Molly might have forgotten to pack, how they were going to get there, and how her mother would miss her. After finishing her breakfast, Anne quickly washed the dishes as Molly went to get her owl from her room. Her father had gotten her the owl when the acceptance letter had come from Hogwarts. It was a brown owl with some white feathers scattered, which she had named Cleo after the Egyptian witch, Cleopatra. Giving the owl a quick treat, she toke it with both hands to the front door where her mum was waiting for her. Anne quickly toke the cage from her and ushered her towards the car that was standing in from of their house. Molly wondered where they had gotten the car because her parents usually apparated and when they were with her, they either used floo or portkey.
Walking towards the car, she noticed that there was someone coming out of the car. Looking at her smiling mother, she ran to the person that was waiting outside the car.
"Dad!" screamed Molly with joy as she hugged her father.
"Hey princess," said Aidan Prewett as he planted a kiss of her forehead.
"But you said you won't be making it today," said Molly releasing her father from her hug.
"Wouldn't it miss it for the world, sweetheart," said Aidan as he pecked his wife who had just arrived. "So what do you say we get going?"
"Let's go," said Molly pushing her parents towards the car. "This will be great."
"Calm down, sweety," said her mother. "We still have an hour."
"Yeah but the car might take long," Molly said as she sat in the car.
"King's Cross is not that far honey," responded her father. "We'll get there before you can say Quidditch."
----
Looking at the train that stood awaiting the students, Molly couldn't believe her eyes. It was awesome, beautiful, great and RED! Turning around, Molly saw her parents coming through the wall with her trunk and owl. This was amazing. Everything was happening so fast.
"Mum! Isn't it awesome?" Molly asked her mum.
"Yes it is honey," said her mum who them turning to her father. "Aidan, could you please put these on the train?" she asked gesturing towards Molly's belongings.
"Yes sure," said her dad taking hold of her trunk. "I'll be back in a second."
"Be careful with that Aidan," said her mum smirking. "You don't want to strain your back would you?"
Looking at her parents, Molly thought that it was probably an inside joke or something by the way her dad was glaring at her mum. After she watched her father disappear into the crowds, she turned to her mum, who was looking for something in her purse. After a few minutes, she took out a box. It was rectangular box with a smooth surface and a dark red colour.
"Molly now that you're going to Hogwarts, I want you to have this," said her mum giving her the box.
Quickly opening the box, Molly's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that her mum was giving this.
"Yes," sighed her mum. "Your father and I talked about it and he convinced me that times were changing."
"Wow," said Molly laughing. "I can't believe you're giving me permission to play Quidditch!"
"Yes but I still think that it is inappropriate for a girl to play Quidditch," said her mum giving her a stern look.
"Oh thank you mum," cried Molly as she hugged her mother.
After a few minutes, her father came back empty handed. Seeing the permission slip in Molly's hands, he winked at her without her mum noticing. Molly was so happy that she was actually going to be able to ride a broom or even play Quidditch. Last year it had announced that Hogwarts was going to allow girls to ride on broom and even try out for the Quidditch team. It had made quite a sensation in the wizarding world for a couple of weeks. Many parents, including Molly's mother, had argued that this would change many things and wanted Dumbledore to be kicked out because he had been the main cause of the announcement but it was later announced that the parents would have to give permission for the daughters to be able to join. Having heard that, Molly had known that her mother would have never let her play Quidditch even though she was the sweetest of all mothers. But apparently, her father had convinced her to give her permission.
"ALL STUDENTS ABOARD THE TRAIN!" screamed a voice from the front of the train.
Quickly saying good-byes to her parents and promising that she would write to them as soon as possible, she got on the train. When she got on the train, she noticed that there no other students left on the platform and after a few moments the train started. After a few minutes, Molly wondered where she would find a seat because no matter where she looked, there were large groups in it. In one, there was a couple who looked they were going to suffocate each other because they didn't stop kissing. Feeling disgusted, Molly turned towards the other compartment which contained two boys and one girl. The girl had shoulder-length black hair with brown eyes. One of the boys had messy brown hair with sparkling green eyes while the other boy had red hair like hers and brown eyes. They looked like they were in first years because their robes didn't have a house sign. So she decided that this compartment was probably her best choice. Carefully opening the door she peaked in and smiled.
"Hi, can I sit here?" asked Molly trying to not look nervous.
The two boys looked at each other and nodded while the girl smiled at her. She slowly entered the compartment and sat beside the girl.
"Hi," started the girl. "I'm Rose Spinnet."
"Hi, my name is Molly Prewett," said Molly nervously.
"Arthur Weasley," said the red-headed boy genuinely smiling at her.
"And last but not least me," said the other boy grinning. "Ted Tonks!"
"Ignore him," said Rose gesturing towards Ted. "He's just full of himself, that's what he is."
"Hey," defended Ted. "You've only known me for like ten minutes."
"Yeah enough time for you to tell me how great you are," said Rose scowling at him.
"If you didn't wanna know, then why did you listen, huh?" asked Ten defiantly.
"Because you wouldn't shut up, you git," said Rose raising her voice.
Ted was about to something else but Arthur quickly pinched him. Rose gave him one last glare and then turned to Molly.
"So Molly," started Rose again. "What house do you want to be in?"
"Um," said Molly thinking. "I don't know. Any would be fine."
"What are houses?" Ted asked curiously.
Since Rose turned her head towards the other way almost immediately, Arthur began to explain.
"When you go to Hogwarts, you're will be sorted into a house by the Sorting Hat. There's Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Gryffindors are brave, Hufflepuffs are loyal but mostly cowards, Ravenclaws are smart and Slytherins are evil," provided Arthur generously.
"That's not right," said Molly. "Slytherins are ambitious."
"Yeah," said Arthur grinning. "But they all turn out evil anyway."
"I don't think so," said Molly. "My aunt was in Slytherin and she's not evil."
"Well," said Arthur after thinking for a few seconds. "I guess she's an exception."
"So what house do you want to be in Arthur?" asked Ted smiling mischievously.
"Gryffindor of course," said Arthur proudly. "All Weasleys have been sorted into Gryffindor anyway so what about you?"
"I don't know," said Ted shrugging. "But I think that I'll end up in Gryffindor."
"How come?" asked Molly curiously.
"Because I'm not a coward so I can't be in Hufflepup," said Ted who Arthur corrected saying Hufflepuff. "Anyways, Ravenclaw won't do cause I'm not smart, and Slytherin...well because I'm not evil."
"What about you Molly?" asked Arthur looking at her.
"I don't know," she said. "My family has been sorted all over in the past so I can be sorted anywhere."
"Oh really," Arthur said curiously. "Even Slytherin?"
"Yeah," said Molly becoming annoyed. "Like I said my aunt was in Slytherin. Rose, what house do you think you'll be in?"
"Gryffindor or Ravenclaw," said Rose turning to Molly. "My dad was a Ravenclaw and my mum was a Gryffindor so it's a half half chance."
So at that point, Rose became included into their conversations for the rest of the train ride. They talked so much that by the time the train ride ended, they knew each other as friends even though Rose insisted that her and Ted could never be friends. Molly learned a lot of interesting things about her three new friends. Rose had an older sister named Samantha who was a Ravenclaw 5th year while Arthur's two brothers were both Gryffindors but in different years; Steward in 7th while Kenneth was is 3rd. Ted was an only child and both his parents were muggle doctors.
When the train stopped, all four children looked at each other excitedly. This was it. They would soon be in Hogwarts.
A/N: I really hoped that you guys liked this but trust me that it will get much better in the future I mean Malfoys do make things interesting wouldn't you say? Anyways there is something that I need to say:
Cleopatra wasn't really a witch. Girls are able to play Quidditch because as we already the wizarding world is behind on rights and freedom so I made it so that girls were just beginning Quidditch at the time of Molly.
PS: DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW! ;o)
