This is a small project that I want to include in this series of drabbles because... why not? The arrowverse in the Hogwarts universe. I have quite a few drabbles planned for this, so consider this first drabble an introduction.
8-Hogwarts AU I
Felicity had decided that the start of her second year of Hogwarts was going to be much better than the first one. One year ago she had been sitting on the Hogwarts Express all by herself, worrying about how she was going to cope, being a muggle born with no idea of how the wizarding world worked, and with a mother who couldn't truly understand the implications of having a witch daughter. The first days were rought. Her particular way of being, specially with her babbles, hadn't make it easy to make friends with other first-year student. Luckily she had found a good friend in Caitlin Snow. Both of them had been sorted into Ravenclaw, and thanks to Caitlin, Felicity had met a wonderful group of people that she could truly call friends.
Now she was about to start her second year in Hogwarts and things couldn't look better. Felicity was sitting in one of the train compartments with Caitlin, Iris West and Sara Lance, the former a Hufflepuff student and the later a Gryffindor one, and both of them part of Felicity's group of friends. They were petting Felicity's new cat, a gift from her mother because of her top marks last year. Donna Smoak, who missed her daughter terribly last year and was worried about her feeling lonely in that "dark and humid castle", thought that an animal would be good company.
"Which classes you think we will have together this year?" asked Iris.
"I just hope I'm not with Felicity in Charms again" joked Sara. "She makes everyone look bad."
"Hey!" Felicity tried to sound offended, but she knew it was true. Charms was her favourite subject.
Their conversation was interrupted when a loud bang was heard from the compartment next to theirs, probably a trunk falling. The strong sound was enough to wake Felicity´s cat and make him run from his owner's lap to the train corridor.
"Cyber! No! Come back" shouted Felicity, running after her cat. She saw the animal entering another compartment at the end of the corridor. When she got there she saw three boys, probably on their last year of Hogwarts, holding her cat and laughing. "Maybe we could use it to practise our spells" she heard one of them saying.
"That's my cat." The three boys looked at her and continued laughing. "And what?" one of them asked. "This filthy animal entered our compartment. I don't think it wants to be with you very much."
"His name is Cyber and he is not a filthy animal" Felicity could hear other students getting near to know what was happening. Her friends were next to her, Sara with her wand in her hand in case it was necessary.
"And what are you going to do now?" The boys kept taunting her. "You are just a little girl."
Felicity was reaching for her wand to teach those boys about what "a little girl" could do, when she heard another voice coming from her right. "C'mon boys, leave the girl alone."
Felicity recognised the boy who had spoken. It was a second year student from Gryffindor: Oliver Queen. She had never spoken with him before, but she had admired him from the distance. It sounded creepy, but it was how Sara had described it when she had caught Felicity looking at Oliver more than once during Charms. And who could blame her? He was cute, with his blue eyes and dark blonde hair. He was pretty famous in the wizadring world thank to the Queen name; a rich family with an old name well known for their multiple bussiness.
"Saving damsels in distress now, Queen?"
"No. I just don't like it when they cry. It's annoying."
Some of the students present started laughing. Felicity could feel her ears getting red from anger. Stupid boys with their stupid misogynistic ideas. Caitlin was putting a hand on her shoulder, sensing that her friend was about to do something stupid and trying to calm her down. But Felicity was done being razonable.
"No one asked for your opinion!" she shouted to Oliver.
"Hey," he said, putting his hands up in a defensive way "I'm just trying to help you."
"I don't need your help."
In a blink of an eye Felicity had her wand in her hand, and was pointing it to the boy who was holding her cat. "Petrificus totalus!". The two other boys were too slow to react and Sara, Iris and Caitlin were already pointing their wands at them. Felicity entered the compartment with confidence and grabbed Cyber from the hands of her petrified victim. She returned next to her friends and looked at Oliver, who had a shocked look on his face.
"Next time mind your own bussiness, jerk!"
They left the place ignoring the rest of the astonished students, and went back to their seats. Felicity left out a sigh. Aparently the start of her second year wasn't going to be a good one either. The only good thing was that her cruch on Oliver Queen had disapeared completely.
