Disclaimer: If this is coming to shock to anyone please have yourself checked out because there is no way I would own Harry Potter, the characters that belongs to the genius J K Rowling. I don't even the idea of soul bonds.
The Ravenclaw first years headed to their first Potions class all both excited and scarred of the teacher. Professor Snape according to the Weasley twins is 'a greasy haired git' in their words. None of the kids knew for sure if he really was as bad as the other students have said he is. The other students could easily just being trying to scare first years like ourselves.
Harry this is our first class! I'm so excited! Ginny thought with so much excitement Harry thought she might just explode.
Gin, calm down! If you stay this way you won't be focused in class and chances are I won't be either. One of us has to be focused so he can help the other.
Harry, that sounds like cheating to me.
Some may say that but nowhere in any rulebook that I know does it say that one must not mind speak to their bonded pair.
Sneaky! That's why we're soul mates you know we're both so sneaky! Remind me that we have to go pranking sometime soon.
I've never gone pranking though I've helped you out through the link and I can't wait.
They finally arrived to the dungeons where the classes were held and settled into their seats. Harry sat next to Ginny and Hermione and Draco who have been talking to one another frequently sat together.
"You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even put a stopper on death — if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach."
"Harry Potter. Our new—celebrity. What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
Ginny I actually know this!
"I believe it is a sleeping potion called the Draught of the Living Dead"
"Lucky guess! Potter, where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?"
"Most likely a farm seeing as it is a stone found in the stomach of goat."
Professor Snape's face grew angry and asked one last question in hopes of him answering incorrectly.
"What is the difference, Potter, between monkshood and wolfsbane?"
I don't know.
Harry, there is no difference it's the same plant that also goes by the name aconite.
Thanks Gin!
"Trick question there is no difference it's the same plant that also goes by the name aconite."
"Perhaps, all you got from your father were your looks."
He knew my dad! Wait did he just insult him.
Moments like this is why the hat would have sorted you into Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw if it wasn't for the soul bond.
I take offence to that and by the way that hat said you would have been Gryffindor without the bond too so that makes you as stupid as me!
But together we are a SUPER GENIUS!
You know it! Under the table Harry and Ginny high or rather low fived each other which didn't go unnoticed by Hermione or Draco but both assumed it was Ginny's way of congratulating Harry.
The rest of the class went smoothly from their and finished rather quickly. Transfiguration class arrived and students filed into the classes with no sign of Professor McGonagall only a silver tabby cat. Two boys arrived barely on time and came running into the class. They sat down as quickly as they came in making as much noise as one possibly could.
Is that my idiot of a brother…Yep it is.
I think the other one is Neville. I remember him from the sorting.
The tabby cat turned into Professor McGonagall and she began her lesson. "Transfiguration is some of the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts," she said. "Anyone messing around in my class will leave and not come back. You have been warned."
The class was told to turn a match into a needle and to try and practice it for the rest of the class. Harry and Ginny both found it rather fun and managed to turn their matches into needles within the first twenty minutes to the surprise of their classmates and Professor McGonagall. By the end of class both Hermione and Draco had turned their match silver with a slight point.
The rest of the classes went rather well in Harry and Ginny's eyes. Charms was a fun class with a fun and entertaining teacher their head of house, Professor Flitwick. Herbology was taught by Professor Sprout and taught about all sorts of cool plants. Astronomy was fun because class was at midnight every Wednesday and taught about the stars. DADA was supposed to be fun but with a scared to death teacher how could they learn to defend themselves against the dark arts. History of Magic was a whole other topic.
The class was taught by Professor Binns who was a ghost which in Harry and Ginny's opinion should have been enough to keep us entertained. Sadly that was not the case as he continue to go on and on about history without any sort of emotion or excitement. The pair tried to make the class fun and learn the subject as well. In the beginning of class the two would read the history book and take notes from what they learned. After they were done with that they would make jokes about everything, discuss the day's events, or make songs and skits about the history lesson.
What they were both most excited for was their flying classes taught by Madam Hooch. Ginny and on occasion Harry would sneak out of the Burrow and ride one of the brooms from the broom shed. They both loved the feel of the wind against them and the freedom that flying gave them.
"Hermione are you excited for the flying lesson today?" Ginny asked
"I don't know. I'm not really an outside girl or athlete and not to forget that I'm scared to death"
"It's not scary; it's actually quite fun once you get the hang of it." Draco told her in an attempt to calm her down.
The four walked outside where there were a good amount of broom sticks lined up on the grass. Madam Hooch told the class to stand to the left of their brooms and say up. Harry, Ginny and Draco got it on their first times as well as the other experienced flyers. Hermione on the other hand got frustrated after the third try and wasn't able to get the broom until the sixth try. Once everyone had their broom they were told to gently mount their broom and hover slightly in the air. Once that was done they did some simple flying strait lessons and then learning how to turn. Once Madam Hooch was pleased with the progress she decided to have a race for anyone who wanted to compete.
You're going down Harry!
Sure stay in your little delusional world.
Harry, Ginny, Draco, and some other kids from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff all decided to compete. Hermione didn't feel completely comfortable on the brooms so she decided not to enter a competition that she knew she would lose.
"Om your mark, get set. GO!" Screamed Hooch once all the competitors were lined up with their brooms
The race was quick and fun and results were surprising by some but not all who watched. The results was a picture ending but in the end it was decided that Harry was the winner with Ginny at a very close second. Draco came in third and was a little behind Ginny.
That was great Harry!
I haven't had that much fun in forever!
The gang made their way up to the common room as that was their last class of the day. The portrait asked the group: I travel all the way around the world. But I never leave the corner. What am I?
"A stamp" Hermione said
Ginny I think you should write your mum and Bill about everything that has happened in the past couple days.
Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm having so much fun at Hogwarts! I was sorted into the Ravenclaw house and Harry was sorted there as well! To everyone's surprise Draco Malfoy was sorted into the house as well. He's actually quite nice and we're friends with him now. I also made friends with Hermione Granger; she's really smart and is a muggleborn. Hey now Daddy might figure out the use of the rubber ducky. I love all of my classes for the most part and most of the teachers are amazing. I miss you guys so much.
PS: Harry let me borrow his owl, Hedwig to send this letter.
All my Love,
Ginny
After finishing that letter she sealed it up and handed it to Hedwig who looked thrilled at getting a job to do. Ginny sat down on the couch that Harry was currently sitting on and snuggled close to him who in return smiled. Socks jumped onto to Ginny's lap and she scratched his ear creating a purring sound. Ginny reluctantly got up to write her letter to Bill so she would be ready when Hedwig returns.
Dear Bill,
Harry and I were sorted into Ravenclaw! We've made some friends from our house, Hermione Granger and wait for it-Draco Malfoy! Anyone we've figured out the sleeping arrangement. The sorting hat told us that there was a hidden room for bonded couples in each house so we searched for it. Only bonded pairs could find the room and inside Rowena Ravenclaw's portrait spoke to us. She told us that she was in a bonded pair with Salazar Slytherin and that it was a lie about him being evil.
Love you,
Favorite sibling Ginny!

Draco Malfoy
Dear Aunt Andromeda,
This is your nephew Draco Malfoy. I've been sorted into Ravenclaw. I haven't told my parents yet but I know they won't be happy and I have a feeling I might be disowned. Seeing as you're my only family member that broke away and isn't currently in jail I was wondering that if I am disowned will you possibly take me in. It's ok if you don't maybe one of my new friends, Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, or Hermione Granger (muggleborn), will take me in.
From,
Draco Malfoy
