Legacy (Fred Weasley Fanfiction)

Chapter 7

By the day we left for Hogwarts I could feel the end of the summer gloom in the air. It was raining hard outside and I hadn't seen the sky clear since the night of the World Cup. I got out of bed and dressed in a Jumper and a pair of Jeans. I didn't bother with my school robes, putting them into my bag Molly gave me so I could just change on the train.

I walked around Ginny's room cleaning up my things. I placed them all in my school trunk knowing that they would all go with my. I made my way downstairs after grabbing my wand and I drug my trunk along with me. When I got downstairs everyone was standing with their trunks talking to eachother. Bill and Charlie were standing by the door chatting and three bright yellow taxi's pulled into the rain filled yard.

"Molly, why are we taking Muggle transportation?" I studied the cars curiously and bit my lip.

"Arthur tried to get Ministry cars this year, but they are overused at the moment." Molly walked outside to help us load our things into the boot of the car's. I don't think these men were used to having owls and cats in their back seats.

I piled into one of the small cars with Bill and Charlie who would also be seeing us off to Hogwarts. I felt extremely squished and claustraphobic until we finally got to Kings Cross. It was still pouring the rain so we quickly took our things onto the platform and loaded our trunks and other things onto the trolley.

I slowly pushed my trolley through Kings Cross station with Fred and George on my left side. We walked to Platforms 9 and 10 and I couldn't help but smile brightly when I saw the familiar wall. Muggles were walking by fast not paying attention to us whatsoever. Molly was the first to push through the wall with Ginny following. They both dissapeared and Freg, George and I waited a moment before we went through one by one. We waited on the other side for Bill and Charlie, who were followed by Ron, Harry and Hermione.

I watched Molly hug all four of her remaining children that were still going to Hogwarts. I got the next hug and she enveloped me tightly, "You keep those boys in line. They have two more years and I don't want them flubbing it up."

" I will Molly. I will see you soon!" I hugged back and couldn't help but smile at her.

I moved to hug Charlie and Bill. Charlie hugged me tight, "I'll see you soon young one. Sooner than you think"

Charlie knew what was going on and by the smile on Bill's face, I could tell he did too. I blushed a dark red and looked at them curiously before I was rushed onto the train by the twins, "Fin! Come on! We have to find an empty compartment from all of the first years!"

We had made it into our own compartment and were settled in. I was sitting on one side of the compartment, Fred and George on the other. We heard none other than Draco Malfoy prancing down the hallway with his friends, ". . . . Father actually considered sending me to Durmstrang rather than Hogwars, you know. He knows the headmaster, you see. Well, you know his opinion of Dumbledore — The man's such a Mudblood-lover — and Durmstrang doesn's admit that sort of riff raff. . . "

I heard the git's voice get quieted as they moved down the train, "Good thing he is going somewhere else to be annoying."

Fred looked at me with a smile on his lips, "You really don't like him."

"We don't either," George chimed in defending me.

Fred rolled his eyes, "I know we don't, but she honestly isn't angry towards anyone else, just him and his posse."

The rain was soon heavier and heavier as we moved closer to Hogwarts and farther north. The sky was so dark it reminded me of the sky the night of the World Cup. We had just lit the lanterns and it was so chilly that I had grabbed my robe from my bag and wrapped myself up in it.

The lunch trolley was coming down the hall and Fred looked at me, "What do you want?"

George spoke before I could even process Fred's question, "I want a liccorice wand!"

I rolled my eyes and laughed, "I'll have a chocolate frog."

Fred stood when the trolley was by our compartment and bought our snacks. He tossed George his liccorice wand and handed me my chocolate frog.

The afternoon went by slowly. I was tired ready to go to sleep. Fred and George were frantically talking about pranks and ideas that they had for their shop. I slowly felt myself drift off to sleep as I leaned my head against the side of the compartment.

When my eyes next opened Fred and George were wearing their school uniforms. Their robes were laying on the seat across from me and Fred was tapping my shoulder softly, "Fin, get up, you need to go change clothes."

I sat up and rubbed my eyes slowly yawning. I grabbed my bag and wand pointing it at my bag, "Accio Uniform."

My skirt, shirt, tie, and every other part of my uniform came zooming out of my bag. Technically it was okay to do magic on the train since we were on our way to Hogwarts. Even if it was wrong. No one had ever gotten caught.

I made my way to the changing rooms and dressed my self in the white dress shirt and black circle skirt. I also did my tie and slipped on my sweater over top of it. I had left my robe in the compartment so I just pointed my wand at my hair doing a simple smoothing charm to tame the frizz. I pulled the waist length brown hair to one said and put it in a long braid. I brushed the fringe from my eyes and smiled at myself in the mirror.

Soon enough we entered Hogsmead trainstation and we exited the train. I hummed softly and looked around the familiar place as we walked to the carriages that were led by nothing. We sat in the carriages as they splashed up to the castle, hitting every puddle on the way up.
