Chapter 3-Year 1
Recap: "I'm Maia," I say, sticking out my hand and he shakes it. "Fred," He says and I grin. "Maia! Come on!" Harry calls and I look over to him. "Oh! I'll see you later Fred!" I call, turning and running over to my brother. Hmm, Fred. Cute.
Maia's POV
Harry and I settle into a car, and I let Winnie out of her cage.
"You're free girl," I say, stroking her soft fur and she purrs, rubbing against my hand.
"Um, excuse me, can I join you two?" I look up to see the boy from earlier. Ron, I think was his name.
"Yeah, of course," We answer together and Ron looks at us weirdly.
"Do you two always speak together?" He asks and we shrug.
"Occasionally."
"Well anyway, I'm Ron, Ron Weasley," He says and we both shake his hand.
"Harry Potter."
"Maia Potter." We both say at the same time and his jaw drops.
"You mean, the Harry and Maia Potter?" He asks and we nod slowly.
"So do you both really have, the scars?" He whispers, like it's a bad thing and we smile, moving aside our hair to show our lightening scars. Harry's is on his forehead, while mine is a little to the right, closer to my temple, so I only needed side bangs, instead of full bangs.
"Bloody hell," Ron whispers and we laugh. Soon, the trolley comes, and we get piles of candy. Ron pulls out his wand, to show us some magic his brothers taught him. He showed us his rat, Scabbers, then stared skeptically at Winnie, until I promised she wouldn't bother him. He cleared his throat, starting to recite the spell, when a girl with bushy hair walks in, looking around.
"Have any of you seen a toad? A boy named Neville lost one," she says, then notices Ron's wand. "Oh, are you doing magic? Let's see it then," She says, sitting beside me. Ron frowns, then clears his throat again.
"Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" He says, pointing his wand at the rat, but all it manages to do is blow the candy box off of his head.
"That's not a real spell is it? I've only done a few simple ones. For example," The girl points her wand at Harry's face. "Oculus reparo," She says and the tape flies off of his glasses, repairing them. "Your Harry and Maia Potter! I'm Hermione Granger," She says and we nod. "You all best be getting your robes on, we will be arriving shortly," She says, then starts to leave. "Um. you've got dirt, on your nose," She says to Ron, who immediately rubs it off. She walks out of the car and Harry and Ron share a look.
"Oh, lay off her. She meant well," I say and they shrug. We make it to Hogwarts, and I get pulled away from Harry in the crowd.
"Maia!" I hear him call, but I can't see him.
"Harry!" I call, but there's no reply. I'm suddenly pushed roughly to the ground by some kid in green robes. He sneers at me and pushes past me.
"Need a hand love?" I look up to see Fred and his twin, who's name I don't know, standing over me.
"Thanks," I say, taking his hand and letting him pull me to my feet.
"You're Maia Potter," his twin says and I nod, brushing my hair back over my scar.
"Yeah, nice to meet you, um."
"George," He says and I nod.
"Ok, nice to meet you George, and nice to see you again Fred," I say and Fred's cheeks turn a light shade of pink. Is he blushing?
"Uh yeah. Well, I think you're supposed to be over there, fingers crossed you get Gryffindor!" They call, before running off. I hurry over to the crowd of other 1st years, and smile when I see Hagrid.
"Hagrid! It's great to see you!" I say and he smiles back.
"You too Maia."
"Maia! What happened to you?" Harry asks, running up to me.
"Nothing. I just got pulled away in the crowd," I say, shrugging and he frowns.
"Firs' years this way!" Hagrid calls, and we follow him to some boats. We paddle for awhile until we look up and see a massive school looming above us.
"Bloody hell," Ron whispers and I nod in agreement. Bloody hell.
