Wow, first story! This takes takes place 1 year before Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. Each chapter is labeled with the current year (1, 2, 3, etc.), the part of the story (think a chapter within a chapter), and the name of the chapter. Enjoy!

YEAR 0

1 year before HP&TPS

"Percival, Joseph."

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Pince, Lucy."

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Pucktof, Ahamed."

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Sather, Emily."

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Serafin, Ashley."

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Fred Weasley applauded with the rest as the new Gryffindor joined the table. Of all the new arrivals so far, she was the most attractive. Her hair was thick and chocolate brown, and her eyes were a bright hazel. Other than that, she was fairly normal looking, but she had something. A spark. That was it. Fred looked over at his brother to see that he had noticed it too.

"She's cute."

"Lay off, George. She just sat down. At least wait until pudding." George grinned.

"Oh, alright."

A few moments silence. Then:

"Can I at least welcome her to Gryffindor?"

"Sure, whatever." Fred was more focused on the mountains of food that had appeared instantly on the table. He looked up after his plate was fully loaded, to see his twin get up, walk around to the other side of the table, and sit down next to the new girl. He watched has George talked to the girl, while loading his plate with mashed potatoes. George said something that was either funny or flattering, because the girl giggled and blushed slightly. Then, George got up with his plate, and returned to his seat next to Fred.

"So, how'd it go?" Fred asked.

"Pretty good. I think we have the bases for a strong relationship."

"What on earth are you talking about? You just met her!" Fred said, laughing.

"Yeah? You'll see."

Fred smirked and returned to his chicken.
