A/n: QUESTION: I have recently begun work on "Cedric's Sister: Draco Malfoy x Hufflepuff! Reader". Though I will start publishing around early or mid-2017, I was wondering if you wanted me to post the prologue and info this month as a sort of Teaser Trailer. Let me know your thoughts!

The events of the Quidditch World Cup had been a subject talked about nearly everyday at the Weasley household. The reason for this was mostly Harry's fault, as he seemed to believe his recent nightmares had a connection to the events.

But despite the horrific experience we all had faced, the group was still more than excited to return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With our clothes soaked from the thunderstorm erupting outside, Fred, George, Ginny, Ron, Harry, Hermione, and I (whew! That's a lot of names!) scrambled through the barrier between platforms 9 and 10.

As we said our goodbyes to the older Weasley's, Bill and Charlie Weasley seemed rather smug about events that were to occur at Hogwarts this year. Though, they didn't tell us what was to happen, of course.

"I'm going to find Luna and Neville." I decided, waving goodbye to the others once we entered the Hogwarts Express.

I made a marched through the hallway, Starlight perched on my shoulder, keeping an eye out for my two friends while also being sure to make a stop at the trolley for some well-deserved treats.

Finally, a discovered Luna and Neville together in the back compartment.

"Hiya, folks!" I skipped into the compartment, "Hope I'm not intruding on any...special moments."

Neville's cheeks went pink while Luna delivered a cheery smile.

"You weren't." she said.

I sat down next to Neville before taking out the sweets I had purchased, "Want some?"

Neville gladly grabbed a chocolate wand and a pumpkin patty, but Luna only shook her head.

"Father says there could be Pollyterrings floating in the candy from the trolley." Luna explained.

"Ahhh..." I nodded, "I understand." With that, I popped a Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Bean in my mouth and immediately spit it out due to the utterly disgusting taste, "Earthworm.."

***

We soon arrived at Hogwarts, which meant that Neville and I had to abandon Luna to sit at the Gryffindor table. I zoomed to sit next to my sister, waiting excitedly for when the food would appear.

"What happened to you, Ronnie?" I asked, staring at the currently soaked ginger.

"Peeves happened." Ron sneered, "And don't call me Ronnie."

"Would you prefer Ronniekins?" I asked.

"Nope. Definitely not." Ron shook his head.

"Alrighty, then." I snickered, "Ronnie."

Ron hit his head on the table, "I'm so done with you right now, Y/n."

I laughed before turning to Harry, "Have you any of you figured out the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?"

Harry shook his head, "There's no one new at the table."

"Maybe they couldn't get one?"Hermione wondered.

After several minutes of waiting, Professor McGonagall emerged with the tattered sorting hat in hand. She placed the hat on a wooden stool as it whirled to life and began to sing:

A thousand years or more ago
When I was newly sewn,
There lived four wizards of renown,
Whose names are still well known:

Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,
Fair Ravenclaw, from glen,
Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,
Shrewd Slytherin, from fen.

They shared a wish, a hope, a dream,
They hatched a daring plan
To educate young sorcerers
Thus Hogwarts School began.

Now each of these four founders
Formed their own house, for each
Did value different virtues
In the ones they had to teach.

By Gryffindor, the bravest were
Prized far beyond the rest;
For Ravenclaw, the cleverest
Would always be the best;

For Hufflepuff, hard workers were
Most worthy of admission;
And power-hungry Slytherin
Loved those of great ambition.

While still alive they did divide
Their favourites from the throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
When they were dead and gone?

Twas Gryffindor who found the way,
He whipped me off his head
The founders put some brains in me
So I could choose instead!

Now slip me snug about your ears,
I've never yet been wrong,
I'll have a look inside your mind
And tell where you belong!
