⚡Struck 💫(Ron Weasley X Reader)

~Awkwardness increases~

I exited the train with my trunk and cage in hand. "First years! Follow me! Don't be shy! Come on!" I hear someone yell and I pull Ron and Harry out of the crowd, trying to get to the row of first-year students. As we approached the row, I asked " Do any of you by any chance know who that giant is? With the big beard" "Yeah, That's Hagrid, he helped me get all my stuff for Hogwarts" Harry answered. "Thanks," I say pulling them into the row, letting them go.

We had to go by boat from the station to the towering palace. Somehow, Ron, Harry and I were separated and after a but i saw them sitting in a full boat. Everywhere was full, except for one blond boy and two others. I nervously walk up to the boat and shyly ask if I could sit there. After a lot of whispering and laughing, the blond boy turned to me and nodded his head with a smirk. The castle was beautiful, it was bigger than i imagined. After we got off the boat 'Hagrid' then leads us in front of the Great Hall. As we wait, Hermione walks up to us and says "Hey (Y/N)" I turn to her and wave, we then started talking, Draco walks up to Harry and starts telling him something. I knew Draco from when we were really little, my mum and his were friends. Were. I don't consider him too much of a brat as many do. He was rude and was bratty at times, but it was dealable. The thing piquing my interest was Ron giggle and Harry saying " I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks" as he did, one of the presumable professors tapping Draco on the shoulder with a piece of parchment rolled up. Then saying "We're ready for you now, follow me" and we do exactly that. As we walked, I looked up and Hermione says " It's not real, the ceiling, it's just bewitched to look like the night sky". We then went into the Great Hall and stood in the middle in a row.
"Now before we begin, Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words," the Professor says and Professor 'Dumbledore' stands up " I have a few start of term notices I wish to announce" he starts "the first year's, please note, that the dark forest is strictly forbidden to all students, also, our caretaker" he points to the door " Mr Filtch, has asked me to remind you that the third floor corridor, on the right-hand side, is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death" as he finishes, he thanks us and sits back down. "When I call your name, you will come forth, I shall place a 'sorting hat' on your head and you will be sorted into your houses" she finishes and turns to the piece of parchment, reading the first name "Hermione Granger" Hermione sighs and slowly walks up to the chair, saying to herself " oh no, okay, relax" Ron then whispers to me "Mental that one, I'm telling ya". As Hermione sits down on the chair, the Professor places the 'sorting hat' on her head " Ah, right then, HmmMm, right, okay, Gryffindor!" The 'sorting hat yells and she jumps up from her seat as the Gryffindor table cheers.
"Draco Malfoy," they say and he walks smugly up to the chair. The 'sorting hat', not even placed on his head, yells "Slytherin!" Ron whispers to me again, saying "There's no witch or wizard who went bad, who wasn't in Slytherin". " Susan Borns," the Professor said, Susan then walked nervously up to the chair. "Agh" Harry exclaims and touches the scar on his forehead. "Harry? What is it?" Ron asks and Harry simply replies with a "nothing, nothing, I'm fine". " I know! Hufflepuff!" The hat says as Susan walks up to a cheering Hufflepuff table. "Ronald Weasley" "Don't be nervous Ron" I say, comforting him, as he smiles softly. He then carefully walks up to the chair and sits in it, the hat placed on his head. Ron looks terrified as the hat exclaims " Another Weasley? I know just what to do with you, Gryffindor!" Ron then smiles in repeat and walks up to the Gryffindor table, joining his brothers as they clap. I smile to myself as the Professor says "Harry Potter" Dumbledore then sat tensely in his chair. Harry quickly walks up to the chair, sitting down and getting the hat placed on his head. "hmm difficult, very difficult, plenty of courage I see, not a bad mind either. There's talent, oh yes, and a first to prove yourself. But where to put you?" Harry mutters something to himself and the 'sorting hat' says " not Slytherin ey? Are you sure? You could be great, you know? It's all in your head and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, there's no doubt about that, no? Better be, Gryffindor!" Everyone from the Gryffindor table jump up and cheer for Harry as a wide smile appears on his face. The professor then says "(Y/N) (L/N)" my eyes widen and I quickly walk up to the chair not wasting any time. The hat is placed on my head and I think of what my mother said, I mutter quietly to myself " if I overthink every little detail in everything, I'll drain the fun out of it, don't overthink too much" "Oh, Hmm, You're quite a tricky one, you have the intelligence of a Ravenclaw, and have the loyalty and patience of a Hufflepuff. But, as it being in your blood and the brave actions in your past. You'll have to be sorted into...... Gryffindor!" My eyes widen and a smile forms on my face as I, yet again, quickly jump out of the chair and make my way to the table. Unexpectedly, a lot of people clapped and cheered for me getting into Gryffindor. Mostly Ron jumping up and down cheerfully. "May I have your attention please?" said professor Mcgonagall tapping her glass with a small spoon and Dumbledor getting up and saying "Let the feast, begin" I look at the empty plates and attempt to say something as food magically appears onto the plates and baskets. I look, eye wide, at the food as Rons yaw drops. I see him grab two chicken legs and eat them both one by one, taking a bite from one and then another. I on the other hand just looked at the food, not really being hungry, but decided to grab a chicken wing and a piece of bread. "(Y/N), what's up with you?" Harry asks, I just shrug, "I'm not hungry, is all" He nods and continues eating.

-after the feast-

We were done and Professor McGonagall told us to go follow our perfects to our common room and dormitories. As we walked up the 'moving staircase' Our prefect knew his way around so it didn't take long for us to get to a picture of a, no offence, 'fat lady'. "Password," she said and our perfect whispered "Flibbertigibbet" and the frame opened up to uncover the common room.
"Now, this is the girl's dormitory" he pointed upon his right, "and on the other side is the boy's dormitory. Now, if a boy tried going into the girl's dormitory, for example, Neville, try going into the girl's dormitory" Neville crept up to the front and attempted to go up the stairs, he took a few steps and the stairs turned into a slide that took him down. "And this will happen vice versa, if a girl tried going to the boy's dormitory, now go up and get ready for your first class"
I walked up to the girl's dormitory and went in, getting ready for class.

-after all the classes ( bcz I'm lazy)-

Ron, Harry and I were in the common room talking about something, and all of a sudden Harry got up and yawned "I'm going to bed, I'll leave you to it" I waived and started talking to Ron again. We stopped talking for a few minutes, staring at the fireplace in front of us. I started feeling really tired and slowly drifted to sleep. I can't remember much after that.

-Ron's Point of view-

As I saw (Y/N) fall asleep slowly, I started to panic, how was I suppose to bring her up to the dormitory? I can't leave her here. She simply placed her head on my shoulder.
I became flustered and thought of the most rational thing to do was to wake her up. "Hey, Hey (Y/N), C'mon, wake up" I whispered to her. She then slowly moved away from me. "Hm? W-What?" She said.
"I think it's time to go to bed (Y/N)..." "Y-Yeah, sure," She said, rubbing her eye and getting up. "Goodnight Ron," She said quickly exciting the Common Room.
