Hello everybody, here is TC bringing you all another story, this time in the Harry Potter Universe.
A few clarifications before you all start reading
First, the student starts to attend Hogwarts at thirteen years old because… well, because I want to.
Second, some characters will have their age modified, for example, Nymphadora will be fifteen when Harry starts Hogwarts.
Third, I didn't make Harry a carbon copy of his father because… well, because I don't want to.
And finally, English is not my native language, so expect grammatical errors.
I hope you all enjoy it.

Harry Potter and the New Black Sisters: Chapter 01
Harry Potter was coming out of Gringotts, the bank that wizards use, excited but also nervous. It had been a very strange couple of days.
First, he received a letter addressed to him, a letter that even had the exact address down to where he sleeps on it, and when his uncle read it, he freaked out. He broke the letter in front of him and threw Harry into the cupboard.
The next couple of days were even more weird. The very next day that he received that strange letter, his uncle told him that he would move from the cupboard to the room where his cousin Dudley used to store all his toys. It was weird because he didn't remember his family ever doing something nice for him. He said that he was too old to keep sleeping in the cupboard but Harry could tell that that was not the real reason.
The letters kept coming every day. Always at the same time and Vernon kept destroying them day after day until Sunday came. Vernon was having a happy morning thinking that the mail didn't come on Sundays. But he was wrong. Because that was the day that their house was flooded with letters. They got in through the mail, through the windows, through the chimney, and even through the kitchen sink. It was a mess.
After that, his uncle decided they needed to move. They packed up all their belongings and they left Privet Drive. After a couple of days, the day before Harry's birthday actually, Vernon finally got them a half-destroyed house on a small island where, he hoped, they wouldn't receive any more mail. They unpacked all their things and went to sleep.
That night, just when Harry turned thirteen years old, someone knocked on the door. It was such a strong and loud knock that awakened all the inhabitants of the house. After the third knock, the door finally gave way and through it, entered the tallest man Harry had ever seen in his life.
That was the day that he found out that he was a wizard. That was the day that his life changed, forever.
After that, Harry and his new and only friend Hagrid left the house and set off for the new world that awaited him.
The next day, they arrived at a pub called the Leaky Cauldron, where Harry was surrounded by people who wanted to say hello and thank him, although he had no idea why. After he managed to get himself free of all those people, Hagrid took him to a small, walled courtyard, from where they could enter Diagon Alley, a magical place with all types of shops. Libraries, apothecaries, wandshops, clothing stores and more. It was an incredible site.
Hagrid took him straight to the bank to withdraw money from his account to be able to pay for all the books and equipment that were required. The bank was managed by little creatures named goblins who, according to Hagrid, were very intelligent but not friendly beings.
After a brief talk and a very interesting wagon ride, they took some money from Harry's vault and a small package from another. Once they completed their procedures in the bank, they decided to start shopping.
Hagrid suggested to Harry that he start with his uniform while he ate something to calm his stomach from the ride back at Gringotts. That is how he found himself here, in front of a boutique called Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.
Harry entered the shop, feeling a little nervous. He walked a little when he came across a smiling witch dressed all in mauve.
"Good day dear. I'm Madam Malkin and I'm the owner of this shop," she said smiling. "Are you here to buy first-year robes?" She asked kindly.
"Yes ma'am," he responded.
"Ok, follow me so I can measure you. There is another student a couple of years older than you in there, I hope you don't mind," she said to him, as she walked deeper inside the store.
In the back of the shop, a girl with a pale heart-shaped face, dark twinkling eyes, and short spiky hair was standing on a footstool while another witch pinned up her long black robes. Seeing him approaching, she gave him a friendly smile and said,
"Wotcher little one, how are you?" she said, greeting him.
Seeing her friendly attitude, he responded "H-hello, I'm fine, thanks. And you?" he asked, a little nervous, not used to people greeting him so kindly. Thanks to his family, every person around him thinks that he is a delinquent and a troublemaker.
"I am doing well," she responded, still smiling. "I'm Aries, and you?" She asked.
"I'm Harry, nice to meet you," he responded, a little more at ease. Aries seemed like a good person, so he doubted that she wished him harm. Even so, it was better to be attentive, just in case.
While the dressmaker measured him, he observed his partner. She appeared to be fifteen years old and, based on the complaints of the seamstress, quite restless. She just couldn't seem to be able to sit still. But what most attracted his attention was her hair. It changed colour every couple of seconds, from pink to red, passing for blue, green, black and more. It was... unique.
Seeing him staring, she said, "I am a metamorphmagus," she told him, and, seeing his confused look, she clarified. "It means that I can change my appearance at will. There are limits, of course, but it is still a pretty good skill," she said proudly.
"Oh, sorry," he apologised. "I-I didn't mean to stare," he said.
"It's okay," she said. "So," Aries gave him a calculating look and said. "You must be new to the whole 'being a wizard' thing."
"Yes," he said, a little nervous, hoping she didn't judge him for his ignorance. "I didn't know I was a wizard until yesterday," Harry said feeling down.
"It's alright," she told him. "There are plenty of kids who don't know they are wizards before receiving their Hogwarts letter," she said, trying to reassure him. "At first, you may feel like it is all too much, like you don't belong here, but trust me, after a couple of days you will realise that Hogwarts is a great place to live," Aries told him with a smile. "With a bit of luck, you will find friends to pass the time, study and many more things," she said.
"Oh, ok, thanks," he said to her, a little more at ease. He was scared that he would be the only kid who didn't know anything about magic, but it looked like his fears were unfounded.
Wanting to try to continue the conversation, he asked her.
"Um, is it possible to become a metamorphmagus?" Harry said.
Looking him in the eyes, she said, "Why, trying to be a little less scrawny?" Aries said playfully, making him blush. "Unfortunately, metamorphmagus aren't made, they are born. I have always been capable of changing my appearance, it kind of runs in the family," she said, her voice a little warm at the mention of her family. "So if you want to change your looks, you will have to look for other ways to do it," she finished saying.
A little irritated at the mention of his body, he asked. "You came from a family of wizards?"
"Yep," Aries said. "My mother and my two younger sisters are all witches," she responded with a gentle smile.
"Really? That sounds nice," he responded, with a little bit of envy in his voice. He just couldn't help himself. He wished that he could talk about his family with the same tone of voice but, unfortunately, he couldn't. He didn't know anything about his parents and his uncle, aunt and cousin hated him so he couldn't avoid feeling jealous of Aries.
Noticing his change of humour, she asked. "You don't get along with your family?"
Avoiding her eyes he said. "Yes, they don't like that I am a wizard," he responded with a dry voice. It was not entirely true, but he just didn't want to talk about it.
Not entirely sure about what to do in this kind of situation, she says. "I um, I am sure that it will work itself out in the end," Aries said, a little awkwardly. "And even if it doesn't..." she told him, trying to cheer him up. "Once you have been sorted into a house in Hogwarts, you can make tons of friends."
Seeing her strangely, he asked her. "'Once you have been sorted into a house'? What are you talking about?" Harry said.
She was about to respond to him when they were interrupted.
"Alright you two, it is done. Take a look at yourself," Madam Malkin said, pointing at a big mirror in front of Harry and Aries.
Taking a look at himself, Harry saw his reflection. He was small for his age, with a thin body, pale skin and without much muscle, thanks to a poor diet and not getting much exercise. That was, if you didn't count fleeing from his cousin and his friends who love to beat him at every chance they get, all the chores in the house that his aunt Petunia liked to impose on him and running from the dog of the sister of his uncle, Aunt Marge, that had for hobby chase him down every time that his owner comes to visit. Looking at the state of his body, he wouldn't take those activities as productive for his well-being.
His face has a small nose, green eyes, round glasses, pronounced cheekbones and slightly pouty lips. His hair was black and fell on his shoulder in waves and some curls. His forehead was covered by a few bangs so people won't see his forehead. Harry was kind of tired of people asking how he got the scar on his head, so he kept it covered.
He had heard some people say that he looked very girly, not exactly a compliment, but he had been called worse things, so it didn't bother him much. Besides, according to Hagrid, he had his mother's features but his father's colours. Harry might know little about his parents, but at least, he still had a connection with them.
His robes were black without any other colour, a white shirt, black tie and black trousers. Not a bad look, it will hide most of his frame so people won't see the bad shape of his frame.
Aries's clothes were much like his own, except that the interior of her robe and her tie were yellow. The tie had a coat shield of some kind, embroidery on it. Seeing his curious eyes she said.
"The colours and the crest represent the Hogwarts house to which one belongs. In my case, they represent Hufflepuff, the house of hard work, patience, justice, and loyalty!" she said proudly.
"Hufflepuff?" he asked. He told the seamstress that it fit fine and that he would take three like that. After that, he and Aries went to different rooms to change themself. When Harry finishes dressing, he goes to the counter to pay and when sees Aries already changed, he feels his face blush.
She was wearing a brown robe, blue jeans, black shoes and a white shirt. It was a combination of modern and wizard fashion. In her right hand, she was wearing a black ring with a coat of arms. She looked really pretty.
He shook his head, telling himself to keep it together and started walking toward her.
Once he reached her, he asked. "What do you mean by that?" Harry said, confused.
While he and Aries paid the nice lady, she responded. "Wow, they didn't tell you much about Hogwarts, did they?" she said.
"No, just that it is a school of magic and that I was inscribed in it from my birth," he said.
"Oh," she said while they walked out on the street. Looking around, she asked. "Are you with a member of Hogwarts's staff?" she asked.
"Yes," he said. "He fell a little ill after the wagon ride back in Gringotts so he went to get a 'pick-me-up' as he said, in the Leaky Cauldron."
She stayed quiet for a few seconds. Her mother was with the youngest of Aries's two sisters, buying everything her sister would need and a lot of other things that their mom thought her sister could need for his first year at Hogwarts.
Her other sister was probably still in the bookstore, reading and spending all her money on a bunch of books that only she would find interesting.
Aries had already finished her shopping so she had a little free time before she had to go looking for the rest of her family. She looked down at the kid in front of her. He looked so small in all those oversized clothes. So lost in the new world he had just entered. Her Big Sister instincts kicked in and they were telling her to help the poor boy in front of her. Deciding to listen to them, she said.
"Well, I got a couple of minutes to spare, so while we wait for the professor to come to get to you, I can tell you a little more about Hogwarts if you want," she said to him.
"Really?" he said with his eyes wide open. "I wouldn't want to bother you," he said looking down.
She waved her hand in front of him. "It is not a problem, really," she reassured him with a warm smile.
Seeing her smile, he smiled a little in return and nodded his head.
"Ok," she began to say. "When the students of Hogwarts enter their first year, they are all separated into four houses," she gestured with her hands the number four, "Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin" she said. "You follow me so far?" she asked.
"Yes," he answered eagerly, "but how are we first year sorted in those houses?" he asked.
"I can't tell you the exact process of sorting," she said. "It is kind of a tradition to keep it a secret from the new students," she said, smiling at seeing his frown. "But I can tell you that, usually, the students go to the house whose principles are more aligned with their own," she said.
"What principles are you talking about?" he asked, confused.
"Well, for example," she pointed at herself. "I'm a third-year Hufflepuff, which means that I have already been sorted in the house of Hufflepuff because the principles I most represent are hard work, patience, justice, and loyalty. The principles that Hufflepuff most value," she said.
"Oh, ok," he said, pondering her words. Looking her in the eyes he asked. "What are the principles of the other houses," he asked.
Hearing his words, she said. "Um, let me think, as I'm not in those houses I don't remember them very well," she stayed quiet for a couple of seconds. "Well, I know that Ravenclaw values intelligence, learning, wisdom and wit. Slytherin values ambition, cunning, leadership, and… resourcefulness and Gryffindor, um," she touched her temple with her fingers until something seemed to click, "Gryffindor values courage, bravery, nerve, and chivalry!" she said happily. " Yes, I knew that I hadn't forgotten them," she said, loudly.
Harry smiled at seeing her so happy. It was nice, to see someone so positive about knowledge, instead of seeing her uncle and aunt congratulating his cousin for his mediocre grades and punishing him for his highest scores. If the rest of the students are like her, then he would really enjoy his time at Hogwarts.
Once Aries had calmed down, she went on to tell Harry what life is like at Hogwarts.
"The four houses had their own common rooms and dormitories somewhere in the castle but," she raised her hand to stop him from asking her a question. "I can't tell you where the Hufflepuff's common room is," she said to him. "Generally, the students only know the common room of their own houses as you are not allowed to tell the location to members of other houses. So don't ask me where the common room of Hufflepuff is because I won't be able to tell you. Unless you end up being sorted in Hufflepuff " she said.
"Okay, I understand," Harry said.
"Good," she smiled at him, "Once you are part of a house, the other students can become your family while you are at Hogwarts. Companions who you can talk to, classmates with whom you can study together, and friends with whom you can have fun" she said with a gentle tone of voice.
Harry liked what he was hearing. He didn't have friends back in Surrey because his cousin Dudley scared them all away. If what Aries was saying was true, this could be his second chance to have a good social life.
Seeing his smile, Aries wondered why he looked so happy. While he had said that his family didn't like that he was a wizard, they have discovered his capabilities rather recently. Maybe they had wizards in their family tree before this and they have always known that he has magic? But even if that was the case, his smile appeared at the mention of friends. He was thirteen years old, he had to have friends before Hogwarts. Right? It was really strange.
"Aries?" he said. Seeing no response, he raised his voice, "Aries!" he yelled.
"Oh, sorry Harry, I was lost in thought," she said to him.
"Is okay," he said, "Can you tell me more?" he asked.
"Oh sure," she said, "Now let's see, what else," Aries said to herself, "Oh, each house had its own set of prefects and a head of house, who can and will punish you if you break the rules of the school," he said.
"Rules?" he said out loud, "What rules?" he asked, suddenly alarmed.
"Oh you know," she said, gesturing with her hand. "Not using magic in the hallways, not fighting," a mischievous smile appeared on her face. "not staying after curfew, that kind of thing," she said.
Harry sighed in relief. It was more common than he had thought. Contrary to what his teachers in the past had said, he was not a troublemaker. But that didn't mean that he wasn't scared of breaking them. Even more so now that he was entering a completely new environment with its own set of rules. He didn't want to break them by accident but if Aries was right, then they were pretty normal school rules. Well, doing magic in the hallway was not that normal but still, Harry thinks that he will manage just fine.
He really didn't want to be kicked out and had to go back to living with his relatives for the whole year.
Seeing that he was more animated, Aries cupped his face with her hands and gently said.
"Don't worry, everything is gonna be fine," she gave him a gentle smile. "You will see, you will love Hogwarts, it is a great place to live and study," Aries reassured him.
A little starter and embarrassed at the contact, he looked down and muttered. "T-thank you," he said.
Still smiling, she said. "You are welcome," she squeezed him a little bit more before letting him go.
Aries started looking around. "But really, where is the professor that is supposed to be taking care of you? We have been talking for a while and there is still no sight of them," she said.
"Yeah," Harry agreed. "And it's not like Hagrid can hide behind a trash can or something with how big he is," he said.
Giggling a little, she said. "No, he really can't," she agreed. "He must be as tall as a hous- wait a minute," she said startled, looking at him. "Hagrid is the one that is been taking care of you?" she asked.
"Um yes?" he said to her, confused at her tone. "Why, do you have a problem with him?" he asked, a little angry.
"What? No!" she said, startled, "Hagrid is a great guy, it's just-" she thought for a moment how to explain this. "Hagrid isn't a professor, he is the gamekeeper, and the task of introducing muggleborns to the wizarding world has always fallen on the professors," Aries said.
"Oh," he said, suddenly feeling ashamed, "um, sorry for.." he started to say.
"Don't worry about it," she said to him. Hagrid must have made a great impression on Harry for him to defend him.
"Um," he began to say, still a little embarrassed for his outburst before. "What is a muggleborn?" Harry asked her.
"A muggleborn is a person that doesn't have magical parents, usually the first wizard of their family, like you," Aries explained to him.
At her words, Harry began to awkwardly rub the back of his neck before saying. "Well uh, about that…" he started to say.
"Harry!" They both heard someone begin yelling behind them, "All finish with your robes?" he asked.
The two of them turned around and they saw Hagrid, who was walking peacefully down the street. Seeing him, Aries said.
"Wotcher Hagrid, how are you?" She happily greeted him.
"Ah Nymphadora," Hagrid said. "It is good to see you. I'm fine, thanks, and you?" He asked her.
"Nymphadora?" Harry asks, confused.
Aries' hair turned red for a moment before turning back to pink.
"Come on Hagrid," she said, a little exasperated. "Don't call me Nymphadora, you know I hate that name," she said to him.
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot," he said, laughing a little.
"So," Harry said, getting their attention. "Your real name is Nymphadora?" he asked.
Blushing a little, she said. "Yes, it's my first name, but please call me Aries, I really hate to be called Nymphadora," she said.
"Oh, ok," Harry said.
"Oh," said Hagrid. "I see you two meet"
"Yes, I was trying on a new robe, when Harry entered and we started to chat," she said to Hagrid. "By the way, why are you accompanying him?" she asked. "Did they finally make you a professor?" Aries said, a little excited.
"No, no," Hagrid denied with his head. "Professor Dumbledore felt that Harry here," he said, patting Harry on the shoulder, making Harry's knees almost buckle. "deserved a more personal introduction," he said, smiling proudly.
Aries gave Hagrid a questioning look. "Why, what is so special about Harry that merits such tr-," Suddenly, Aries stopped talking and looked at Harry for a couple of seconds, her hair literally turning white and her eyes full of revelation.
"You- you are.." she tried to say.
Harry looked at the floor, uncomfortable. He knew what was going to happen, Aries would start to look at him like he was some kind of hero and would thank him for something that nobody had explained to him yet.
But what actually happened was not what Harry expected.
Aries's behaviour changed completely. Her posture became more rigid. More firm. Her facial expression morphed. It didn't change into the reverent face so many witches and wizards had when they first recognized him. Nor did it transform into the easy smiling face that she had during the time that they had been talking.
Her face became neutral and stoic, like a marble statue. She didn't say anything for a few seconds and just kept looking at him. Then she gave him a little curtsey and said.
"Forgive my rudeness, Heir Potter, I just didn't recognize you," she said with an even tone. "Please, allow me to introduce myself again," Aries said.
Looking him in the eyes and with a solemn voice, she said. "I am Nymphadora Aries Black, Heiress of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, pleased to make your acquaintance," she said to Harry.
"Um," Harry didn't know what to say, he didn't even know what was happening. 'Heir Potter'? Since when was he an Heir? Sure, his parents were dead, but the way she was talking to him, it was like she thought he was someone rich or something like that. While the contents of his vault were substantial, he didn't believe it was enough to make him an Heir. He was just Harry.
And 'Heiress of the 'Noble and Most Ancient House of Black'? Was Aries a noblewoman or something? The girl who told him all about Hogwarts and tried to make him feel better when he was depressed before she even knew who he was? Weren't all nobles like, stoic all the time and look down to the commoners? What was going on?
He was about to ask Hagrid what he was supposed to say when Aries presented the hand that had her ring on, to him.
The two of them remained motionless for a couple of seconds until Harry spoke.
"Um, what are you doing?" he asked.
She raised an eyebrow and said. "I don't understand your question, Heir Potter. Isn't it obvious what I am doing?" she said.
"Um, no," Harry said. "I don't understand what you're doing or why you're doing it," Harry said honestly.
Aries narrowed her eyes. "Are you mocking me, Heir Potter?" she said with ice in her voice.
Harry was starting to panic. He didn't know what to do. He didn't want to offend Aries. Worst of all, he didn't want to offend a noblewoman. Was he supposed to shake her hand or something like that?
Seeing the situation, Hagrid decided to intervene. "Aries, Harry really doesn't know what you are doing. He wasn't raised with our customs. He grew up with his muggle relatives," he said.
She raised her eyebrows in surprise at his words and her stoic demeanour started to crumble. She lowered her hand and said. "Really?" Aries said, looking at Hagrid, seeing him nod. She turned her eyes to Harry. "You- you really didn't know anything about magic? It wasn't some kind of ruse?" she said, startled.
Harry shook his head, a little more at ease.
Aries's face went red with embarrassment, and her demeanour went back to that of the girl she met at the store earlier, "Oh I am so sorry about before, I thought you were pretending to be ignorant as a way to insult me," she said looking down.
"It is ok," he assured her, feeling more relaxed.
"Thank you," She said, still feeling embarrassed. Wanting a moment alone so she could think about what to do next, she decided that it was time for a temporary retreat. "Well, seeing that Hagrid is here, I think that I will go looking for my family," she said, slowly going backwards. "It was nice to meet you, Harry. See you," with those words, Aries turned around and started walking quickly down Diagon Alley.
The man and the boy just kept seeing her walk until she turned around a corner and disappeared from view.
"What a nice person," Harry said. "Strange," he added. "But nice," he concluded.
"Yes, she is," agreed Hagrid. "Well, let's keep shopping for your stuff, shall we?" he said.
After they had bought the cauldron and the set of phials, Harry asked Hagrid a question. "Um Hagrid," Harry said. "Do you know Aries well? For the comfy way you two talked, it seems that you are his friend."
Hagrid smiled at Harry. "Why, getting a little crush on Miss Black?" he asked. Seeing that his words get Harry all red in the face, Hagrid laughed. "Oh don't worry Harry, she is too young and too small for my taste" he said, still laughing.
"It is not like that!" Harry said, feeling embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding," Hagrid told him. "Well, when a student broke the rules of the school, they have to serve detention with a teacher, generally the teacher that caught them breaking the rules," he said. "And sometimes, when a student broke important rules or broke the rules too many times, they are sent to me so I could take care of their detention." Hagrid explained to Harry, with a smile breaking across his face "And Aries has won a lot of detentions during his two years at Hogwarts."
"Really?" he asked, surprised. She didn't seem the type to start troubles. But he had just met her, so what did he know about her? Maybe she was a bully or something.
"Yes, but don't you start thinking that she is evil or something like that," said Hagrid. "She is just a little mischievous, that is all," he said.
"Oh," said Harry, a little more at ease. "Uh, can you tell me what she has done?" he asked, not wanting to upset his friend.
"Well," Hagrid said, scratching his beard. "I suppose I could tell you a little, it isn't a secret or anything like that, and if you ask anyone in Hogwarts, they could tell you" he responded.
Harry waited for Hagrid to organise his thoughts and start talking.
"Most of her detentions were for roaming the castle after curfew and for some pranks that she did with a pair of twins with whom she used to be friendly with," he told Harry.
'"Used to'?" Harry said. "They aren't friends anymore?" he asked.
"There was an incident last year, involving her and a brother of the twins," he said, with hesitation. "After that happened, they haven't been on the best of terms as far as I know," said Hagrid.
"What happened?" asked Harry.
Hagrid let out a sigh and said. "Do you know that Aries has two younger sisters?" he asked.
"Yes, she told me," said Harry.
"Well, last year the middle sister started Hogwarts," Hagrid said. "And she doesn't have the best of reputations," he said.
"Why," Harry asked.
"Well, you see, her mother was…" but he suddenly stopped talking. Looking quite uncomfortable, he rubbed the back of his neck and said. "Look, forget I said anything about her mother," Hagrid said to Harry. "The point is that she is pretty unpopular with the kids in the school," he said.
Harry wondered what his mother could have done that affected her daughter's reputation. More importantly, why did it only affect one of them and not the other one?
While Harry was pondering these questions, Hagrid kept talking. "So some of the kids decided to start harassing her," he said, making Harry frown. "A prank here, an insult there. Nothing too extreme. It was, obviously, not amusing for her, but nothing violent. And Aries took care of the people that bothered her sister. Someone pranked her, and Aries pranked them back twice as hard. Someone insulted her, and Aries transforms into the person who did it and ruins that person's reputation. It happened a couple of times until the students realised that it wasn't worth bothering Aries's sister and the problems stopped for a while," Hagrid said.
Harry was listening with mixed feelings. It looked like not everything was good in the school as Aries had told him. On one hand, he was angry at the students for bothering Aries's sister. If what Hagrid told him was true, her mother was the problem, not her. It was not fair that she got to have a bad time at school because of her mother. And where were the professors while that was happening? Isn't it supposed to be their job to stop bullying from happening? Well, at least, she has an older sister watching out for her.
Hagrid continued to tell his story. "Aries got several detentions because of her actions, but, if you ask her, she will say that it was worth it," he said with a smile. But that smile fell as he continued talking. "As I said, there was peace in the school for a while, until an incident happened," he said.
"The incident with the brother of the twins?" Harry asked.
"Yes," Hagrid said. "One Percy Weasley, the older brother of the twins and a fourth-year student at that time, was leaving the classroom when he stumbled with Aries's sister. He isn't a bad kid, a little stiff, but a good kid from a working and honest family, but he gets one look at her and Percy loses it. He took his wand and started threatening her. I don't think that he was in the right state of mind at that time. He was about to start firing spells at her when Aries appeared behind him and stopped Percy." said Hagrid.
"Wow," said Harry. "Aries was a second-year student at that time, right?" He asked. On seeing Hagrid nod, Harry said. "She must be a really good witch to be able to do that," he said.
When Hagrid heard his words he started laughing. "Oh she is a really good witch, but she didn't stop him with magic," he said.
"Eh?" said Harry, confused. "Then how did she do it?" he asked.
Still laughing a little, Hagrid said. "Well, when she saw what was going on, she appeared from behind him and deflected his arm up so he wouldn't attack her sister, then lowered it onto her left elbow, effectively breaking that arm. Then, while he was screaming in pain, she used her right hand to hit him in the face, knocking a tooth out of him and taking him down. Then, while he was on the floor, she kicked him where no man wanted to be kicked. After that kick, he was rendered unconscious from the pain. From what people said, she would have continued hitting him if it wasn't for the fact that a teacher stopped her in time. She was furious," Hagrid said.
Harry was speechless. He never imagined that Aries was that violent. He swore then and there that he would never bother either of her little sisters. He doesn't want to get his arse kicked for the pink-haired witch.
"After that incident, there was a meeting between the parents of the students involved and the headmaster. Afterwards, Percy and Aries received both three months detention and Aries's sister was never bothered again." Hagrid said.
"Well," said Harry. "At least all that served for something," he concluded.
"Yeah," Hagrid said. "But after that incident, the friendship between Aries and the Weasley twins was all messed up," Hagrid said. "I know Aries would do it again if he had to, but I know it still bothers her," he said sadly.
Harry didn't know what to say to that, so, with some questions still roaming around in his head, he remained silent and the two of them kept doing their shoop.
Hope you liked it.
