Where I've Been Before Now . . .
The day I was born was... A really average day. It was sort of overcast, the daily news was fairly quiet, and Mum wasn't due for another month or so. Though I suppose that wasn't entirely average. She was at my grandparents having dinner with all of my massive Weasley family when she went into labor. I was told that everybody started freaking out, James was crying, and the entire lot of them Floo'd off to St. Mungo's while Dad had to drive Mum in a Muggle car since he was worried about what the Floo network would do to the baby. Er, me. So Mum was in labor for a number of hours and then there I was. Tiny, a little underweight, and crying like mad. I was whisked off for a while afterwards for a quick check-up to make sure I was alright before being handed over to my parents. I don't remember much about the first few years of my life but I'm fairly sure James was a bit of a bully. You know, the kind that throws blocks at you, pushes you over while you're learning to walk... I suppose I intruded on his special private time with Mum and Dad and he didn't like it. Not that I ever cared; when I got older I finally learned to get back at him. Best days of my life, those were.
I was young when I came into my magic, around seven. Not long after my brother, actually. I still remember it pretty well: I 'accidentally' blew a hole in my bedroom door when I was upset one morning. Dad heard the loud bang, ran upstairs to check on me, and found me absolutely silent and staring. It ended my tantrum, but that began four long years of being taught to control my abilities by my parents before I went off to Hogwarts. Within three of those years James was being shipped off to Hogwarts, and I remember being almost ridiculously jealous. I understood that he was older than me, but I didn't want to be left behind. For all the little fights we had he was still my big brother, and I missed him horribly when he left - don't tell him that, mind you. I watched that scarlet train chug out of the station with a bizarre feeling of both freedom and loneliness: which all vanished in an instant the moment we picked him back up that summer. Then I forgot that I missed him at all and we went back to what a young pair of brothers do. Argue, fight, be sullen after being scolded by their parents.
The next year I finally got to go to Hogwarts myself, and while I was terrified at the thought, I was excited. Everybody always talked about how fantastic the school was, so I couldn't wait to get there myself. Until James (again) started talking about the different houses. All of a sudden I found myself wondering which one I would be put in. Probably not Ravenclaw; I was smart, but I wasn't a genius, so that left the other three. Somehow I always assumed I would be a Gryffindor, like pretty much my entire family was. All of the Weasleys, my dad's parents, my dad... It just made sense to me. I honestly couldn't see it going any other way. So we went to Diagon Alley, got my books, and in the next few weeks I found myself hugging my parents goodbye as if I'd never see them again. Thankfully I had my cousin Rose. Who had always been one of my closest friends, ever since we were kids. We were the same age, always stuck together at family gatherings, our personalities clicked well... Despite the fact that she was family and a girl, I considered her my best friend for a number of years, and was happy to be going to Hogwarts with her.
Until I got up on that stupid stool in front of the entire bloody school and had that stupid hat plunked on top of my head. I remembered my dad's words, remembered him telling me that I could ask the Sorting Hat about a certain house and it would take that into consideration, but I was just... So nervous. Crowds had never been my strong point, and I was just about frozen up there in front of everybody.
And it felt as if the entire world fell apart when the old hat yelled Slytherin and I was sent on my way to the green and silver table. The entire damned hall was in stunned silence for a moment before the whispers started. I felt like I was the center of attention, and none of it was good. My chest ached, my eyes burned, and I wanted nothing more than to have my father there telling me again that it would be alright. I was devastated. Not even James' teasing had prepared me for the possibility of getting put in Slytherin.
Eventually I adjusted, and now, I'm in my fifth year. And with all of the panic caused by the De Vos 'incident' over the Summer, things have been... Hectic. Especially at home. The name Potter has again become something huge to talk about; the only letters I received over the holiday were from people wanting to know what happened, if my family was going to die, this and that regarding my father's further heroics. But among the family things have been tense and nervous, especially with what De Vos supposedly left written in his cell. My mum and pretty much all of the Weasley side was apprehensive about sending my siblings and I to Hogwarts this year, but in the end, we were scheduled to go. Not without words of caution and advice, and some crazy little devices from Uncle George in case we got attacked.
Academic Record
My wand is 14 1/2 inches long, willow and decently springy with a dragon heartstring core.
my patronus is a king cobra, and if I see a boggart, it'd usually turn into the corpses of my loved ones, so, let's not explain that.
What sets me apart from everyone else is that I Am, unfortunately, a Potter.
If you've heard of me before, it's probably because I'm The Seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team.
