Neb: I do not own Harry Potter, J.K Rowling owns the story. This is a story that takes place a Three years after Harry defeats You Know Who.
Within the Gryffindor common room, the first year students gathered to get to know one another. "I'll start first," a boy with blonde hair and brown eyes spoke up. "My name is Zachary Williams, I wield a Unicorn tail hair Oak wand. Made by Olivander. I grew up with parents who are both Lawyers that work for the Ministry of Magic. My mum has a book of the Williams wizarding family going back Nine generations of our family History."
A boy with black long hair and brown eyes looked up. "Reggie Wright, Dragon Heartstring. Made by Olivander also... obviously. My mother is was a half blood and my father a muggle. My mother died fighting You Know Who. Her wand is passed down to me as a backup the wand in case anything happens to my own wand. Though the only reason I have this wand is that my mums doesn't work for me."
"Wand chooses the wizard," a girl with dark eyes, dark skin, and black hair spoke up. "I'm Tabby Wisp, I come from a long line of Wizards also. I don't think my family has any muggles in it, but my older sister chose to fight for this school against you know who. My wand is a cherry root, with also a Dragon Heartstring core. It's also decorated with a rose quartz stone. My sister made it, she hopes to sell wands some day. I haven't blown up yet, so I think she did a good job."
"Tristen Snout," the boy with dark hair that covers one eye spoke up. "Blackthorn Pheonix Feather, Olivander made it. He actually said it was one of the best wands he made and was happy to give it to a bright mind-"
"Quit bragging Snout," Williams growled. "We all know you're a Slytherin heritage child. The long line of Slytherins who fought alongside you know who." Tristen Snout shook his head.
"Sure, they did that in the beginning," Tristen explained, "but they never believed in him. They switched sides to the Ministry. Cost my older sister her life defending the Ministry of Magic before the Dark Lord took it over."
"You just said the dark lord," Tabby responded. "Don't play innocent, we know your sister died for him, not for the Ministry." Tristen just looked down in shame until Norman decided to move things to himself.
"My name is Norman Schneider. I have never heard of the Wizarding world until a coupled days before the train ride. My blood mother is a muggle and my father is a Wizard. He got locked up for using a curse of some sort on what he believed was a villain. I talked to him, he seems like a nice person, so I doubt it was on purpose or without cause... My wand is a Mermaid Tear core wand, Holly Tree branch."
"That's the new wands," Williams grinned. "That must have cost a lot."
"I got a donation from this other girl Wendi Cook."
"The Slytherin girl," Wright chuckled. "I have no doubt she handed you that money thinking you were a beggar or something. "If it were up to me, every Slytherin households would have lost their jobs instead of keeping their riches."
"My family isn't rich," Tristen Snout explained, but the group ignored him except for Norman.
"Do some magic the Norman," Williams requested. "I wanna see the new wand in action."
"What should I cast?"
"There's the one spell my dad was working on," Williams stated as he moved a chair in front of himself and readied his wand. "He told me to not read his book of spells he's working on, but I couldn't help myself..." He cleared his throat. "You first twirl twice, flick it once, and then wave. Then you shout Social!" The Chair froze and he smiled.
"A freezing spell," Tabby responded. "Isn't there already one of those."
"This is a stronger freezing spell. Sure it can freeze enemies, but its the main job is to create a wall of Ice between you and your opponent. You use it on an entryway and it'll save your life." Norman stood up nervously and readied his wand at another chair.
"Social," he yelled after moving his wand the way Williams did. The chair in front of him froze over and he smiled.
"It worked," Snout grinned.
"Of course it did Snout," Williams humphed. "I showed it to him."
"His Mermaid tear must work best with water type spells," Tabby reasoned. "I heard he couldn't perform the Lumos charm."
"Where did you hear that," Norman asked.
"Word gets around," she smiled. "It's ok, we'll teach you how to do it better." A painting turned and moved to them.
"I've informed the Professors that you all were using magic after school hours late at night," the painting spoke up. "They took five points away for each of you."
"Twenty five," Tabby yelled.
"You are all to go to bee immediately," the painting instructed. The group did as commanded or else they'd risk more points being taken. Norman heard that the common room never had issues like this before. It must be a post war decision to have paintings be baby sitters. He headed to bed and shut off his light.
