Ron's PoV

"I'm sorry, but do you really want me to die that badly?" Maya asked after we told her to run through the wall.

"No, thats how you get to Hogwarts," Charlie explained to her.

"So you have to know yourself out to get to Hogwarts?" She asked disbelievingly, "Nu uh, this is just over the line, I refuse to be knocked out for an entire school year leaning the whimsical things in my imagination, "

"Maya, why must you be so difficult?" Charlie asked her.

"Because, I am a difficult child," She said.

"Come on Squirt, you need to get to Hogwarts," Bill told her.

"I refuse to have any part in running into a wall, nu uh, no way, you ought to be kidding, never in a million years," She said.

"Why won't you run through the wall?" Charlie asked her.

"I don't want to die, I'm too young too die by the way, I don't want to die, and finally I DONT WANT TO DIE!!!!" She hollered at him.

"Fred and George, why don't you two show Maya how its done," Mum said and they ran through the wall.

"ARE YOU CRAZY WOMAN!!!! YOU JUST SENT THEM TO THEIR DEATHS!!!" Maya hollered at Mum and I rolled my eyes.

"I grab Maya, you take her stuff" Bill told Charlie and before Maya could resist she was scooped up and he ran her through the wall and Charlie followed.

Charlie and Bill had a special connection with Maya and she trusted them more than anyone else in the family. They loved her to pieces and she grudgingly loved them as well.  She loved all of us, but she had the strongest bond with Charlie and Bill. I wish that Maya and I had that kind of connection, we're twins for Merlins sake! I also think that Ginny is jealous of Maya because Maya seems to be catching the eye of the boy who lived. We finished putting out luggage on the train and Maya was being grumpy as she sat cross-legged on the ground pouting.

"I don't like this Hogwarts place," She said, "they're crazy, you're all crazy, I am never doing that again,"

"Sorry Squirt, you'll have to do it for 3 more years," Charlie said and ruffled her hair, "But bye, and I might be seeing you all sound than you think,"

"I don't care when I see you, but I would prefer to not run through a brick wall to get there," She grumbled.

"What do you have against running through brick walls?" Harry teased her.

"Everything," She complained and Charlie tugged her up.

"Why?" Fred asked him keenly.

"Fred you're alive!" Maya yelled and hugged him.

"Oh Merlin, who are you and what have you done too Maya," Fred teased her.

"I got thrown threw a brick wall thats what," She said.

"Ahh, thats a killer isn't it," Fred said.

"Yes, yes it is," She said dramatically.

"Well, you see," Charlie continued like nothing happened, "Just don't tell Percy I mentioned it, it's 'Classified information, until such times the Ministry sees fit to release it,' after all"

"Yeah, I sort of wish I were back at Hogwarts this year," Bill said looking almost wistfully at the train.

"Why?" George asked and he also got a hug from Maya.

"No you don't," Maya told him and we all looked strangely at Maya.

"You're gonna have an interesting year," Bill said his eyes twinkling as he pulled Maya into a hug, "I might even get time off to come and watch a bit of it,"

"A bit of what?" Ron asked.

"I didn't do it," Maya told the two of them, "I didn't and Harry didn't either, thats all I have to say to you dunderheads and I wish you all a good day,"

"Mum, I think the wall did something to Maya," I said as Bill and Charlie exchanged glances.

"Maya, are you okay?" Harry asked her.

"No," She pouted and Charlie took Maya from Bill and gave her one last hug.

Finally after long and tearful *COUGH COUGH MUM* goodbyes we went onto the train. Maya fell asleep on the train and it was a wonder how she didn't wake up from the arguing and door slamming and the yelling. Finally we were close to the school and Hermione woke Maya up to go change. It took them a while to come back, and when they came back Maya was beaming while Hermione was grumpy, did they just switch personalities?

"What happened?" Harry asked them.

"Maya here met the Slytherins," Hermione muttered.

"And I love that house already! I like Green much better than red anyway. I see too much red on a daily basis, and I think green is the best, GO SLYTHERIN!!!!" She cheered, "Can I be in that house? Pretty pretty please?"

"Maya, you would leave us to go to Slytherin?" I asked her.

"I will always see you guys, I mean your my twin and I'm kinda forced too. But I won't leave you,"  She told me, "I don't leave people,"

"We know," Hermione told her soothingly.

"Maya, why do you want to be in Slytherin again?" I asked her, "Do you just want to be rivals with us?"

"No, I don't think that being a Slytherin is something to be ashamed of. You all paint it as a bad house because of some of the beliefs that some Slytherins have. But it isn't what the original qualities of the house are. The original qualities of the house are Cunning, Ambitious, Creative. and Resourceful. And I think I'm more of a Slytherin than a Gryffindor. You think that Slytherin is bad because of a few rotten eggs," She told us.

"More than a few rotten eggs," I said.

"Hey, every house has had some wizards that turned to the dark sides, the other houses are just to afraid it," She said.

"Whats going on here?" Malfoy drawled from the doorway.

"They don't like Slytherin, but I love it," Maya told him, "See I'm telling them that Slytherin isn't bad and that I want to be in Slytherin but they think that I would be leaving them by getting into Slytherin,"

"Aren't you a Weasley?" Malfoy asked her.

"Does that really matter?" She snapped at him.

"Feisty, I like it," He drawled, "So you like Slytherin, huh,"

"Of course," She said.

I opened my mouth to say something but Malfoy beat me by turning to Harry. 

"Do you know if your sister is going to be on the train?" He asked my best friend.

"I don't think so," Harry replied.

"Wait, you have a sister??" Maya asked Harry in astonishment.

"Yeah, she was taken in by one of our Professors, Professor McGonagall," Harry said, "She's supposed to be a year younger but she went to America to learn a newer kind of magic because she would have a few problems here and McGonagall wanted to make sure that she could keep up. But she's really smart, and is in Ravenclaw,"

"She also helps Fred and George with their pranks sometimes," I added.

Crabbe and Goyle walked into the compartment.

"We found her in one of the compartments," I don't really care which one said it but someone said it.

Harry leaped up, "Which compartment?" He asked them.

"I want to meet Harry's sister!" Maya declared.

"Which compartment?" Harry asked his voice hardening a little.

"All the way down on the left," Either Crabbe or Goyle grunted.

"Harry, why don't you see her at the school," Hermione said delicately, "We are almost at the school and somethings bound to go wrong if you Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle go,"

"Are you coming with us Maya?" Malfoy asked my twin.

"Malfoy, get out of here, we don't need your Slytherin stench to stink up the compartment. My sister is going to be a Gryffindor like all Weasleys," I snapped.

"So if I'm a Slytherin and I hang out with you, I'm gonna stink up the compartment?" Maya asked me her blue gaze sharpening, "Thats nice to know,"

"Maya, I don't mean you, I mean them," I said gesturing to the Slytherins, "They're Slytherins, they're bad,"

"Ron!" Hermione hissed at me.

"Nice to know what you really think," She hissed at me, "Draco is it?" She asked Malfoy.

He nodded, "Maya?"

She nodded, "Why don't we go somewhere else," She said.

Harry had a slightly jealous look on his face as Draco took her hand and led her out of the compartment.

"Nice going Ron," Hermione sighed.
