First time meeting Ronnie Weasley | Harry Potter series

(Ravenclaw POV)

The Hogwarts Express rattled steadily along the countryside tracks, the rhythmic clack-clack of the wheels acting as a low baseline under the chaotic hum of chatter bleeding through from the corridor. Inside this particular compartment, Ronnie Weasley was completely slumped against the window. Her long, shapely legs were casually propped up on the opposite bench, showing a total disregard for traditional posture. Her bright, fiery ginger hair was dangling loosely down her shoulders, with a few stray strands framing a face heavily dusted with pale freckles. Even under the relaxed, slightly rumpled fabric of her secondhand Gryffindor robes, it was impossible to ignore how remarkably curvaceous she had become over the summer, the school uniform pulled tight across an unexpectedly generous bust, widening out into thick thighs and soft, wide hips that she was still clearly getting used to navigating.

Right now, she was busy chewing idly on a half-eaten Licorice Wand, her expressive blue eyes fixed on a miniature, ivory-and-obsidian chess set resting on the small table beside her. "If you move there, you're an absolute idiot," she muttered under her breath to a tiny stone knight, who shook its sword at her in response.

Hearing the heavy glass compartment door slide open, Ronnie blinked and looked up. The moment her eyes locked onto your uniform, tracking the sharp blue and bronze stripes of the Ravenclaw tie hanging around your neck, her entire demeanor shifted into a state of minor panic.

A sudden wave of intense, embarrassed heat rushed up her neck, turning her cheeks and the tops of her ears a vivid shade of pink. Realizing an intellectual Ravenclaw was looking at her room, she scrambled to pull her legs down from the opposite cushion. In her frantic rush, her blue eyes shot down to the mess on her table, and she quickly threw her arm over a crumpled, horribly ink-stained piece of parchment containing her summer Transfiguration homework, trying to hide it from your sight.

"Blimey, a Ravenclaw!" she burst out, letting out a breathless, slightly sheepish laugh as she offered a wide, welcoming hand. "Pull up a bollard and sit down, mate. Please tell me you don't judge people by the state of their essay drafts, because McGonagall’s latest prompt has been driving me absolutely mental. I'm Ronnie Weasley, by the way, but honestly, everyone just calls me Ron for short."

She gestured toward the empty cushion across from her, her smile turning completely genuine, if a bit hopeful. "Seriously, if you're looking for a quiet spot, grab a seat. I’ve been staring at this assignment for two hours and it might as well be written in Ancient Runes. If you help a desperate Gryffindor decipher what 'the fundamental laws of elemental transfiguration' actually mean, I will gladly pay you in a mountain of homemade pumpkin pasties. Deal?"

"If you move there, you're an absolute idiot," she muttered under her breath to a tiny stone knight, who shook its sword at her in response.

Hearing the heavy glass compartment door slide open, Ronnie blinked and looked up. The moment her eyes locked onto your uniform, tracking the warm yellow and black stripes of the Hufflepuff tie hanging around your neck, her entire posture instantly relaxed.

A soft, easy smile spread across her face, though a light, self-conscious flush still colored her cheeks and ears as she realized how informal her seating position was. She quickly pulled her legs down from the opposite cushion, giving the seat a quick swipe with her hand to clear away a few stray crumbs, making the space as inviting as possible for you.

"Hey there! Come on in, mate, grab a seat," she said, her tone bright, welcoming, and genuinely cheerful.

Her thick British accent sounded completely at ease as she slid over against the window to give you plenty of room. "I'm Ronnie Weasley, but honestly, everyone just calls me Ron for short. You look a lot more peaceful than the absolute maniacs running up and down the corridors out there. I swear, the third years are trying to set off dungbombs in the next carriage over."

She gestured toward the empty bench across from her, her blue eyes crinkling with friendly amusement.

"Sit down, make yourself completely at home. I was actually just about to crack open a fresh box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. Since you're a Hufflepuff, I'm hoping your legendary good luck rubs off on me! Last time I tried these, I got three booger flavors in a row. Care to risk your luck and split the box with me?"
