2 The First Step

The very night of his rebirth, "Ron" was anxiously trying to figure out how exactly he ended up inside a movie. He hadn't gone out of his way to watch them, but did manage to see them a couple of times. Maybe a few more than was necessary or normal for those like him.

Furthermore the only reason he'd even remembered them was due to him having such a shitty childhood. Making watching movies one if the few good things in an otherwise shitty life.

He was always intrigued and honestly enjoyed hero movies or any with some elements of fantasy. As the protagonist in those kinds of films had super powers or magic to help them out. Something he'd always wished he possessed to fight off his piece of shit stepdad.

Unfortunately, when his long awaited dream came true he was reborn as Ron Weasley. The third wheel of the group, a poor loser who's biggest accomplishment was being friends with Harry Potter.

So as he lay inside an old wooden crib he couldn't help but lament his destiny.

'Why couldn't I be Harry or atleast Malfoy!? Why'd I get stuck with this useless guy?'

' What am I going to do? I don't want to be some no name loser...'

' According to the movies, in this world you need one of two things, talent or wealth, both of which Ron doesn't have.'

Looking around the room he currently was in, he couldn't help but sigh again. The walls would creak and shake every time the wind blew, making it seem like the entire building would crumble at the lightest touch.

' Well I was poorer before, and although it sucks to be poor again in this life, atleast I have magic!'

Changing his mindset, to a more positive one he tried his hardest to recall the movies. He wanted to remember everything he could.

Since he'd need every little bit of help he could come up with. To start things off he focused on his new family members.

' Ron's dad was an office worker at the Ministry of Magic, his mom was a housewife and of course he had 5 brothers and a younger sister.'

' Since I've just been born and I think that his sister was two... no, one year younger than me, so that means she's supposed to be born next year.'

He also thought about his more successful and popular friends, Harry and Hermione. However he quickly changed topics since they weren't important right now, at least not for another eleven years.

What he moved towards to was how he'd get rich and good at magic fast.

' Money wise, it's obvious we're not in a good place, being a baby I can't possibly go out and earn money. As for my parents they're not going to richer anytime soon. Meaning, that for the foreseeable future it'll be nothing but hand me downs and used products. At least until I'm able to talk, then maybe I'll be able earn some money.'

As far as Magic went, he only remembered four spells from the movies. Lumos, Wingardium Leviosa, Expecto Patronum and Avada Kedarva.

The first since It was used in basically all the movies, the second was Hermoine's famous line, the third being Harry's and the fourth because it was Voldermorts.

' Hmm, since getting money isn't an option right now, I guess I'll just practice magic. Lumos was the first spell, Harry and his friends learned so it should be easy.

Laying down on his makeshift crib, he concentrated on the spell. From the movies Lumos was supposed to be a spell that summoned light. So he stretched out his chubby baby fingers and imaged the scene from the movie, the small white light. Just as he was about to the recite the incantation, Ron caught himself.

' Since I'm with my family, the Trace Spell shouldn't be set off right?'

For a brief moment the thought about it, before ultimately agreeing with himself.

' Lumos.'

After chanting the spells name in his head he opened his eyes, but didn't see any race of a light, not even a small spark.

' I guess this is really hard without a wand... but what else do I have to do at 11:00 in the night? Might as well keep at it.'

' Lumos.'

' Lum....'

The next day Ron was able to see what an actual day in the life of a wizarding family looked like. His mother, Molly Weasley woke him up at 5:45am and began to breast feed him. An act which wasn't as awkward as he thought it would be. It helped that she was the complete opposite of his last mother, kind, cheerful and didn't ignore him. As for the feeding he simply closed his eyes and ate, it wasn't like he had another choice.

After being feed he saw his father Arthur Weasley get ready for work, as for his brothers the two eldest ate breakfast while the other three played around with the twins bothering the other one.

Only when his mother called out to each of them did he remember all of their names, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George.

' The twins Fred and George got along with Ron and his friends the most, as for the others they didn't appear too much in the movies, I only remember that Bill is attacked by Greyback, Percy becomes a Prefect and Charlie worked with Dragons.'

What catched his attention was how his mother cleaned the house, it was all done through magic. The dishes were washing themselves, clothes and blankets were being sewn by two floating needles, and with a wave of her wand all the dust vanished. To his brothers this was a normal occurance nothing they hadn't seen before, but to Ron it was the most amazing thing he'd ever witnessed.

Last night he kept trying to use the Lumos Spell, but failed even after one hundred tries yet his mother was able to control every aspect of the house like It was nothing.

' I really need to get better at it... I might've been given this weak body, but I won't be some loser, I'll become the strongest and wealthiest wizard ever.'

After his father returned from work and they had dinner he was sent to rest. He of course wasn't tired, but most baby's were, so he wasn't given a choice in the matter.

His mother went to lay him to rest while his father and brothers stayed downstairs talking about some ongoing battle.

' I think mom fell asleep, guess that means it's time to practice.'

' Lumos.'

Ron continued to practice and even after his father came up to bed he continuously kept reciting the same spell. It didn't matter to him if he failed because he'd already seen magic being used. He knew it was real and knew that he'd eventually be able to use it. What he wanted was to expedite that process, he wanted to use magic as soon as possible.

' Lumos.'

Nothing.

' Lumos.'

After reapeated failure he concentrated harder but also changed the mental image he had of spell, instead of the movie scene he changed it to an image of a small light on top his finger. Hoping that was what was stopping him he exhaled and closed his eyes trying to deepen his concentration.

' Lumos.'

Opening his little beady eyes he almost cried of joy, because on top his right index finger was a small white light. To anyone else it probably wasn't even worth noting but for him that small light was his first step in becoming a wizard.

' I did it!! I really did it! This is the moment that Ron Weasley the Greatest Wizard Ever is born!'

In a small locked tower in an undisclosed location. Atop a high podium sat an ancient tome along with a quill, which began writing a new name on its pages.
