Golden Boy

Summary:

On Eleanor Mckinnons 11th birthday her 'Aunty' handed her a letter that told her she was to be attending hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.

What Eleanor didn't know was that attending hogwarts meant she had to deal with a difficult pair of red haired twins that brought nothing but happiness and trouble.

Chapter Text

Eleanor 

I slowly opened my eyes adapting to the brightness outside my bed curtains. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I opened my bed curtains and saw on my wall my calender which had a big circle on 1st of September. thinking I remembered that today was September 1st. I shot out off my bed and to my wardrobe and picked out an outfit and got changed. I grabbed my trunk and set some more thing inside of it. 

"ELLIE?" I heard my name being called from downstairs.

"COMMING!" I called back. I picked my trunk up and walked downstairs into the kitchen.

"Morning Ellie I made pancake for your special day" the women in front of me says and places a plate in front of me on the table.

"Thanks Mary" I gave her a smile.

"That's okay, I can't believe your finally going to hogwarts. Your parents would be so proud of you right now" she said and went back behind the counter to clean up.

"Yeah I can't believe it either! I just can't believe that I'm going to be going to the school my parents and you went to"

"Well hurry up and eat then we can leave, I'll go pop your trunk in the car" she came and grabbed my trunk and headed outside.  

 

"Okay let's go through together" Mary says grabbing a hold of my trolley handle I held onto her arm as we began to walk quickly towards a brick wall. I closed my eyes I felt something wash over me and opened my eyes and saw a bright scarlet red train in front of me.

I stood there admiring my surroundings until someone bummped into me making me fall.

"Oh merlin, I'm so sorry." The boy said he held his hand out to help me up.

"That's okay I shouldn't of been standing there in the middle of the walk way." 

"I'm Fred, Fred Weasley." He said when I got on my feet.

"I'm Eleanor, Eleanor Mckinnon."

"Well nice to meet you El, I should go and get on the train. Hope to see you around." He said.

"Oh yeah that's okay I hope to see you around too." I said Fred left.  

 

"So this is it, Eleanor-" she pulled me into a hug   "-be good, study hard and owl me if you need anything, okay?" Mary said and let go of me.

"I can't promise anything but I'll try." I said and picked up my cat cage.

"Okay thank you, and make sure not to loose Kirby." She said and pointed at the cage.

"Okay"

"I just know your going to love it there, your going to find it so amazing she started walking towards the train.

"I love everything to do with magic." I said matter-of-factly.

"I know, I know, I'm just so happy, I love you so much."

"I love you too, Mary." I gave her one quick hug and set off onto the train.

 

 Fred

I got into a compartment with George and started talking about what our time would be like at Hogwarts. I'm starting out the compartment door watching people look for a compartment when I saw that blonde hair. I got up from my seat and opened the compartment door and caught her wrist.

"El, come sit in here it's just me and my brother?" I asked.

"Yeah okay." She stepped into the compartment.

"George this Eleanor, Eleanor this is George." I said introducing them. I took Eleanor's trunk put it on the rack above us. And then sat down.

"Hello." George said happily.

"Hi." She said back and sat down on the seat next to me.

"So, Ellie, what house do you think you'll be in?" I asked.

"Um I don't really know but I'd love to be in Gryffindor." She answered turning to face me.

"Well probably be in Gryffindor, our whole family has been in there for decades." George informed 

"I don't know about you, Georgie, but im definitely going to be in ravenclaw, for my wicked smarts." I said causing Eleanor to snicker which brought a smile to my face.

There was a knock at the compartment door. I looked over to see a dark haired boy. He slid the door open.

"Hey, I was wondering if I could sit in here everywhere else is packed?" He asked

"Ofcourse." George and I said in sync. He came in and sat down next to George.

"first year?" I asked.

"Yep I'm guessing yous are too?" He questioned 

"Yeah, what house to do you think you'll be in?" Eleanor asked.

"Definitely Gryffindor." They boy said "Oh I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Lee, Lee Jordan."

"Hello, Lee, I'm Eleanor, these two are fred and George." Eleanor said and pointed at George and I.
