Chapter Text
Amanda Weasley POV
Hi, I'm Amanda Weasley. Twin sister to Ron Weasley, First Daughter of Molly and Arthur Weasley. You might be thinking ‘What if Ron didn’t have a twin sister?’. You are right in the Harry Potter books he didn't, but this isn't a book it is my life, not anyone else's to dictate.
It started 11 years ago when I realized I was reborn into this Universe. It wasn't very hard to figure out after I got my sight and hearing back to normal. It took me around a day or so but much longer to accept it. After all, I was only 9 when I died shot in the heart by my older brother, or Zack as he is no longer family to me. I only did it after I saw my new brothers and heard them introduce themselves and that is when I broke down and cried for days. I was scared still not of dying though that is still not a pleasant thought but of being betrayed by the people I love or trust. But even if I’m scared I will do the best I can to protect them.
Soon I found out that I was not in fact Ginny's replacement but, instead, I'm Ron’s twin sister which meant I was going to be in the same year as Harry and Hermione. I have always been caring and a pushover even in my past life and a bit of a coward if it didn't involve defending someone. However, I still decided to be by their side because ‘Harry, Ron and Hermoine will need someone to take care of them,’ also ‘I will be the family Harry never got’.
As you may have guessed I wasn’t entirely excited to go on these adventures or deal with harry’s fame(because of my past life that I was never able to be around other people I get really scared around a long of people) but even though I wasn't happy about it Ron is my twin and I care for and want to be a sister to Harry and Hermoine as well as Neville.
But that's for later, now it's time to start my school adventure. I'm in my uniform already so that's not a problem and back length red hair(I've always loved long hair) is all in place and not free so that's good. So now once we get into the compartment to wipe off the dirt from Ron’s nose so he doesn't get embarrassed. So all good and now I just have to wait until he comes.
Ok now it's almost time and we are at the train station entrance and I'm looking around for Harry. My mother is yelling about muggles and I am glad that there are wards that make sure that said muggles doesn't hear her so no one is looking at us.
Suddenly I see A flash of him and oh my he looks so thin! Maybe it's because of his cousin's clothes that are like 5 times his size but he looks like he is eight or nine. I can only tell him because of his truck that he is with him. Wait, he is going the opposite way! Maybe, wait! Mom isn't yelling like in the books because she knows I hate loud noises and that means Harry doesn't hear her. Oh no it's all my fault I have to go get him.
Harry Potter POV
I was panicking. I didn't know where the station was and I was going to miss that train and then I'll be stuck with Dursleys forever! Oh no that girl with red harry is staring at me she must think I'm a freak. Wait is she coming here no no no I don't know how to talk to a girl. What am I supposed to say if she asks me why I'm here?
As I was thinking while looking down at my hands I suddenly heard a soft hesitant voice, “Hey are you going to Hogwarts too?” My head snaps up. I'm looking at her face as her long red hair sways around her, navy blue eyes sparked as she looked at me but it wasnt with anger like Aunt Petunia or Uncle Vernon it was kindness and something else pity no that's not it, maybe empathy or something similar? I shook myself out of these thoughts.
Wait! Did she say hogwarts which means that she is magical too that means she might know how to get to the train! Wait, I haven't said anything! Should I say something now I have to right? Since I need to ask if she knows where platform 9 3/4 is but I haven't even asked her name. Ok harry just ask her name don't mess up like you do with everything else.
“H-Hey I'm Parry Hotter-r, WAIT NO! I-I mean I'm Harry P-Potter!”
Oh no I just ruined everything, how did I even do that and she must think I'm such a loser. Maybe it won't matter after all Hagrid said I'm famous so maybe she will just ignore it. Right, Right!
I think I just let out an audible sigh of relief when she just started to talk again without commenting on it again, “Hello Harry, I'm Amanda Weasley I'm guessing by your name that yes, you are going to Hogwarts.”
Yes I have another chance and not only that but she didn't start doing weird stuff like trying to kiss my hands or feet like those weird people at Leaky Cauldron. Ok so just talk normally and try to maybe get a friend.
“Ah ya I'm going to Hogwart, you?” As soon as I said it my mind shut down. What did I just do if she knows about the wizarding world of course she is going to Hogwarts! It's a wizarding school not to mention she is already in the school robes! Idiot! Also why does she have a teddy bear? Better not question it.
“Yup a first year just like you, it's mine and my twin’s first year.” Ok so she is still talking to you so that's good and she mentioned her brother so maybe I can ask about that?
“Your Brother?” Just keep it going, don't let an awkward silence fall then it's too late to make them your friend.
“Yup, Ronald but he prefers Ron. I have a few other siblings but I'll tell you about them on the train. Actually it's about time to get on the train. I want you to show you the entrance.” Yes! I needed this and then maybe I could meet Ron and I could be friends with him and Amanda.
Third Person POV
As Amanda was finishing talking to Harry, Percy just noticed Amanda was missing, “Mother where is Amanda?” It was in a flat tone but his eyes conveyed worry. Suddenly all the redheads started to look around the station, them growing more panicked as time goes on.
The truth was out of all the siblings everyone knew that Amanda was the odd one out. The rest of them were loud and boisterous but Amanda was quiet and subdued, many times seeming like she wasn’t really there. She was born with a weak body and was predicted to not survive the night.
This caused Molly and Arthur, as well as the rest of the family to be overprotective of her. Even Ginny, the youngest and only other girl, regarded Amanda as someone who needed protection.
While Amanda was extremely smart for her age growing up. Amanda however also panicked when with too many people, spaced out into nothing for minutes on end, and was prone to fainting when stressed.
Out of all of their children, Arthur and Molly were almost always the most concerned about Amanda. It was easy to do so with seemingly all their other children being healthy. However over the years they had found that when talking to someone directly or even just being with people she liked and trusted, Amanda lit up. After that they tried to spend more time as a family her condition increased and so did their communication skills.
It wasn't really different with Amanda’s siblings as even before they realized she was gone. Ron and Ginny were trying to get Molly to let Ginny on a year early so she can look over her with the girls while in Ron words “And I can beat up however tries to mess with her in the boys!” George and Fred were doing the same with their dad while also teasing Percy. Percy in this was getting teased for talking about how as a perfect he could protect Amanada and that they needed to get on the train. That is when he looked around to ask her what she thought that he noticed that Amanada wasn't there. And then the panicking started.
Suddenly they were in a panic looking all around looking all around for her. They looked for a few minutes and when they were ready to break the Statue of Secrecy when George though no one knew yelled, "I see her!”
Suddenly all Weasleys were there and looking forward and yes she was here with a little boy looking around 8 or 9 with black hair following her with a cart with a owl on it. Ron runs forward and like a spell had been broken all of the redheads embraced her until she signaled she couldn't breathe.
As soon as Amanda was free, Mrs Weasley seemed like she was about to yell and Amanda seemed to curl into herself. However as soon as Molly saw this she stopped and said in a soft tone pulling Amanda into a hug, “Amanda I'm sorry I was about to yell at you but you really worried us please don't do that again.”
“Ya you scared me sis,” Ron said blushing in embarrassment but wanting her to get to the point that he was really worried and not to do that again.
“Sorry mom, dad, brothers, sis, I saw Harry going the wrong way and I didn’t want him to miss the train.”
Molly's face softened and she turned to Harry, “Hello your Harry I'm guessing, I’m Molly Weasly you a first year?”
Harry Potter POV
Ok this is Amanda’s mom so I have to make a good impression on her and I think that the boy that's holding her hand is her twin Ron and Amanda has a big family. I know she said that she had more siblings but just wow. I have to apologize to them for leading her away from her family or they will never let them be friends with her.
“Yes miss I am also sorry for leading Amanda away from you I know you must have been worried,” I tried to show my sincerity and threw my eyes and I thought I did pretty well but suddenly a hand grabbed my wrist.
I looked up only to see the same navy eyes and then looked down again. Her slightly pale hand was wrapped around my thin wrist. I was confused. Was she mad at me for getting her in trouble? Did I ruin our friendship already but all my worries stopped in their tracks as she spoke.
“That wasn't your fault I ran after you. So don't blame yourself.”
I looked up at her surprised but really, Delighted? Touched? Maybe both? I just know I am really happy. I knew a cheerful grin came on my face but I didn’t stop it.
Suddenly though I heard the clock chime and my eyes went wide and I saw Amanda’s do the same. All of us or more special the Wealseys started moving and Harry, how caught on started moving at once. Older kids went first and Amanda quickly explained what we were doing and that the Hogwarts train starts moving exactly 5 minutes after the bell. I knew I should be nervous but maybe the idea of actually missing the train mixed with the images of the older weasleys going through his mind was enough to ignore the doubts of my muggle-raised brain.
So as soon as it was my turn I immediately ran straight into the wall and into Kings Cross. I didn't have much time to admire it as the two identical redheads lifted my truck into the train with theirs and pulled me up.
I watched as Ron went through the portal and got the same treatment. And then finally Amanda though it was definitely with more care than him and Ron (which wasn’t rough by any means) hers was extra gentle and he would have to ask about that later, but still the same routine.
Just as the only other girl as well as Mr and Mrs Weasley appeared the train’s whistle blew and the train started to slowly move. As all the Weasley’s started to say goodbyes he started to look for a compartment after saying a thank you and waving.
It was good timing as soon as he found an empty one Ron and Amanda finished with their goodbyes. I turn to them and just say, “ I found an empty compartment, want to sit with me?”
Amamada and Ron look at eachother and nod and Amanda smiles, “Sure I call the window seat!”
