Year 1

"Come on, Donny!" You bounced up and down excitedly, pulling your older brother down Diagon Alley. You were going to be a first year this year, while he was already a fifth year.

"Y/N." He stopped you, bending down to pull money out of his satchel. "Here, you go shopping on your own, we'll meet at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes when we're done, okay?"

((this obviously takes place after harry's adventures))

"Okay!" You yelled excitedly, dashing off into the crowd.

"Get your school supplies first!" He called after you.

Looking up at everything in awe, you decided to head into Ollivander's first, the thought of getting a new wand was so exciting. The shop was musty and seemed empty, except for a boy standing in the corner nervously.

"Hi! Are you going to be a first year?" You asked him.

"Yes, are you?" He replied, fiddling with his shirt.

"Yep! I'm Y/N, by the way." You stuck a hand out to him, which he shook.

"I'm Mark, its nice to meet you."

Just then, an old man came out from the back of the shop, peering at you both. "Oh, the Y/L/N daughter, and the youngest Fischbach son. It seems as though I just sold your brothers their wands. Donny Y/L/N, with his 9 inch walnut with unicorn tail, and Tom Fischbach, 11 1/4 inch birch, with phoenix feather."

You and Mark looked at each other before the old man scanned through the shelves and extracted a slim box. "Here, try this one, mister."

Taking it in his hand, he could immediately shook his head. The shopkeeper pulled out box after box and wand after wand, clearly making Mark feel embarrassed that he was prolonging you getting you own wand. Finally, Ollivander gave him one that made him grin.

"This one. I like this one."

"Ah yes, 10 inches acacia with phoenix feather. I'm sensing a core theme in your family." He smiled before searching deep in the back for a wand for you.

Mark waited around for you, which made you happy, you didn't want to leave the boy just yet. Ollivander seemed unsure as he handed you the first wand. You flicked it, causing a shelf of wands to fall over. One slid right to your foot.

"I wonder." You muttered, picking it up as Ollivander tried collecting the boxes. It immediately sent a warm tingle through your body, and it just felt right. Flicking your wrist like you did before, your eyes widened when the boxes flew back up on the shelf neatly.

"Ah! How peculiar..." Ollivander stared intensely at you and your wand. "12 3/4 inch acacia with dragon heartstring. Now, it's not unusual for wands to have wood from the same tree, but both of yours came from a tree that was owned by the late Albus Dumbledore. The only magic wood it ever yielded before its' owner perished."

Neither you nor the boy beside you said anything as you paid then left.

Shaking off the eerie feeling Ollivander gave you, you suggested that you and Mark shop together.

"Okay." He smiled at you. "Can we go to Flourish and Blott's next?"

"Yes! Come on!"

At the end of your shopping, you found yourself at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, as well as every other kid going to Hogwarts it seemed. "I'm never going to find Donny in here!" You sighed, standing on your tiptoes in an attempt to see over everyone.

Someone shoved past you and Mark, startling him. His hair flashed a pink color then returned to black. "That was cool!" You told him. "Do it again!"

"Really? People don't seem to like me being a Metamorphmagus."

"I love it! Can you make your hair blue?"

"Of course." He grinned as his hair then turned an electric blue.

You clapped your hands excitedly. "That's so cool!"

"Y/N?" You heard your brother call out to you, and someone yelled Mark's name as well.

"Hey Donny!" You greeted your brother, and Mark greeted the boy that was with him.

"Hiya Tom!"

"Seems as though they already met." Donny laughed, then turned back to you. "Tom was telling me about his little first year brother, didn't know you met him, Y/N."

"Yeah! We were both in Ollivander's then got our school supplies together!"

"Did ya have fun, Mark?" Tom asked him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

Mark nodded fervently. "I did!"

"Alright, well Y/N and I have to go back home in time for dinner or our mum won't let us have any." Donny joked, grabbing your hand. "We'll see you guys at school!"

"Bye Mark!" You waved, then followed your brother out of the store.

A few weeks later, you pushed your trolley through King's Cross.

"Come on then, Y/N." Your mother gestured to the wall between platforms 9 and 10. "Go through to the platform."

You shifted on your feet, unsure, then someone spoke behind you. "I'll go with you."

"Mark!" You turned around to greet your friend.

"Hi Y/N."

"Go on then, you two, you don't want to be late." You nodded to your mom before running at the wall with Mark beside you.

On the other side, you said goodbye to your parents before getting on the train. All the compartments were full except one with two other young kids in it.

"Do you mind if we sit here?" You popped your head in.

"No, go ahead." The blonde boy gestured to the seats across from them.

"I'm Y/N, and this is Mark."

"Its great to meet you!" The redheaded girl piped up. "I'm Lily and this is Scorpius. We're third years."

"Oh, we're going to be first years." Mark explained.

"What houses do you think you'll be sorted into?"

"Well, my brother is a Ravenclaw, and so was my mom, but my dad was a Slytherin." You answered. "So I think I'd like either of those."

"Slytherin is clearly the best." Scorpius added, to which Lily elbowed him.

"Nah, you know its Gryffindor, Scorpion!" She teased him.

Then, Mark answered her question. "My entire family is Gryffindor. I just hope to keep up the legacy."

The sweet trolley came by, and you each got a couple things to snack on. At the Hogwarts station, Lily and Scorpius said goodbye as the first years were rounded up for Sorting.

"Okay," the woman who had introduced herself as McGonagall cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. "First up, Jessica Bones."

The hat had barely touched her head before yelling out Hufflepuff. The list seemed to go in a random order, and you were sixth to be sorted. "Y/N Y/L/N!" She called out.

Nervously, you sat on the stool in front of the entire Great Hall. "How peculiar." It muttered in your ear. "Your mother and brother Ravenclaws, yet you will find your real potential in Slytherin, just as your father did."

You wanted it to make up its mind already, everyone's eyes were on you. "Slytherin!" It announced, and you happily skipped over to the clapping Slytherin table. Once you were there, Scorpius congratulated you.

Next was Mark, and you could see him muttering something. He must have been praying for Gryffindor like his family. "Oh no no," you could hear the hat. "Your destiny lies in... Slytherin!"

The boy's eyes were wide as he avoided eye contact with his brother and sullenly walked over to where you were. "Cheer up, Mark!" You lightly hit his arm. "At least we're together! I'm sure its going to be a great year!"

"Yeah." He smiled at you. "It will be."
