I don't own Harry Potter
"So you have four siblings." Amethyst asked, once the twins were gone and it was once again just her and Ron.
"NO." he shook his head, "I have 6" her eyes widened at the number.
"Really,"
"Yeah, there's Bill he's in Egypt right now working as a curse breaker then Charlie he's in Romania with the dragons. Percy he was the eldest that was on the platform he's starting his fifth year and he was made a prefect, Of course you met the twins Fred and George they love pranks and are on the Quiddich team. Then there's me and my little sister Ginny."
"I feel bad for your sister it must suck growing up with six older brothers."
"I wouldn't feel too bad for her, she gets away with murder because she's the only girl."
"So what house do you think you'll be." Amethyst was fascinated by the house's.
"I'm hoping Gryffindor my whole family was in Gryffindor." Ron confided. Amethyst heard a small squeak coming from Ron's coat and looked at the garment oddly.
"Um Ron did your coat squeak."
"Oh," Ron put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a rat. "This is my Rat Scabbers, he was Percy's but Percy got a an Owl.. and my parents couldn't afford.. I mean I got Scabbers." He covered up and Amethyst smiled understanding that the Weasley's most likely weren't the richest family in the wizarding world.
"Hey you want to see me turn him Yellow." Ron asked excidly pulling his wand out, a wand that looked like it had been through a lot of beatings. Unicorn hair poking out of the end of it, Scratches marring the wood.
"Sure." Amethyst nodded happily.
"Ok," he raised his wand to point it down at the rat when a girl with Brown curly hair turned up at the door.
"Have you seen a toad a boy names Neville's lost one." She looked at Ron wand raised.
"Oh hey magic," she didn't even wait for a invitation she just sat down and waited for Ron to say the spell.
"Um, ok." Ron shook his head and cleared his throat. "Sunshine Daisy Mellow. Turn this stupid fat rat yellow." The two girls had to try and stifle their laughter.
"Um Ron are you sure that's a real spell." Amethyst asked.
"The twins gave it to me, should have known it was a prank." He grumbled looking down at his still gray rat and stowing his wand away.
Amethyst wasn't sure what to think about this, was it funny or was it cruel the jokes these twins thought to play on their little brother.
Just then the compartment door slide open once again and the blond boy Amethyst had met in Diagon Ally came in. "So its True Amethyst Potter has Come to Hogwarts at last." He smirked and she felt a chill go down her spine. "I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy and these are my friends Crabbe and Goyle." He pointed to the two boys on either side of him. His eyes flickered over to Ron "No need to ask your name though Red hair and freckles you must be a Weasly how many kids is your mummy has now ten." He sneered. He turned his attention to the girl that had sat beside Amethyst, she still wasn't sure of her name. "You I can't place through who are you?"
Amethyst could see the girl was nervous. "Um Hermione Granger." She sqeaked obviously intimidated by the blond boy.
"Mudblood obviously." He sneered now Amethyst had no idea what a mudblood was but by the look on Ron's face. "You don't want to be hanging around with the likes of this." He waved his hands vaguely at Ron and Hermione.
"I think I can choose my own friends thank you very much." She had the strong urge to bunch this boy.
Ron was appalled he might know this girl, but what right did Malfoy have to call her such a horrid name. "You take that back Malfoy." He jumped from his seat wand pointed at the other boys nose." Hermione was shaking what was going on and why was Ron so upset.
"What are you going to do about it Weasley." Draco Scoffed.
"He may not do anything but we will," Amethyst eyes widened as she saw Fred and George behind Draco. The twins had been walking the corridor when they heard the fight up ahead and had rushed to find out what was going on. They'd heard the horrendous name leave the blonds lips and watched Ron jump from his seat wand pulled they pulled their wands and stood at the ready to help their brother and his friends.
Draco whipped around and two older students holding wands on him was enough to make him beat a hasty retreat not before throwing one last nasty over his shoulder at Amethyst Ron and Hermione. Ron fell back against his seat still breathing heavily.
"You three ok." Fred asked coming into the compartment.
"Yeah," Ron nodded.
"What.. What just happened." Amethyst asked her voice shaking.
"Well Aimee." And she didn't even scold him as the endearment slipped from his lips. "A mudblood is someone of muggle parentage it's a really bad word." George tried to explain. Amethyst cast a sideways glance over at Hermione.
"You ok." She asked the other girl.
"Yeah, I think so. Thanks Ron."
"Yeah," he waved her praise away.
"So Aimee." Hermione asked and she groaned at the fact that this name was going to stick." She threw a look at George who just smirked.
"yes Hermione." And George was now triumphant because there was no way she couldn't allow him to call her Aimee now.
"I never caught your guys full names,"
"OH "she laughed slightly at the oversight. "I'm Amethyst Potter,"
"Really I read all about you,"
"How," she asked incredusally you're a muggle born." George laughed at the look on her face.
"I love to read so I got some extra books. " Aimee fell back in defeat she hated that everyone knew her.
"I'm Ron Weasley and those two are my brothers Fred and George"he pointed to the still grinning twins.
"Yes thank you Ronald never knew we couldn't introduce ourselves." They joked.
"Well its nice to meet you all, and thanks for sticking up for me even if you didn't know me." She said quickly her head ducked.
"Well kiddies the train should pull into the station in only about an hour you may want to chance into your robes. The twins stood and made their way out of the compartment. Aimee still wasn't' sure what to make of the two Weasley twins the girls stayed in the compartment to change and Ron went into the bathroom. After they were all changed they sat down and enjoyed some sweets Aimee had purchased of the trolley Ron explaining the different one's to the two girls. Finally as the sun set the train stopped and they looked out the window at a small town. They were almost to Hogwarts.
