so american
Y/N transfers from Ilvermorny to Hogwarts and immediately feels like she’s been dropped into a place that runs on rules nobody bothered to explain. Everything is older, louder, and way more dramatic than she expected, and she’s already annoyed about it before she even gets on the train. On the Hogwarts Express, she somehow gets folded into Ron Weasley’s group almost by accident—meeting Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ginny Weasley, who all react to her in completely different ways. Ron talks too much but is nice about it, Hermione acts like she’s mentally cataloging her entire personality, Harry is quietly kind but a little wary, and Ginny looks like she could either be her friend or her problem depending on the day. And then there’s Draco Malfoy. He notices her immediately. Not in a normal way—more like he’s irritated that he noticed her at all. Because she’s American. Everything about her is American. The way she talks, the way she doesn’t flinch at things that are supposed to feel intimidating, the way she doesn’t seem to realize half the room is watching her like she’s something new and interesting. Draco tells himself it’s annoying. He acts like it’s annoying. He definitely makes it everyone else’s problem that he thinks it’s annoying. But he keeps looking anyway. Keeps catching her in hallways. Keeps hearing her voice over everyone else. Keeps pretending he’s mocking her when really he’s just paying attention. Based on an Olivia Rodrigo song 😋
