Rose's POV 

There I stood platform 9 3/4, trolley in front, ready to board the Hogwarts express for the 6th time ever. Each time was always more magical than the last. I got on board as a kind looking steward took my trunk.. I stepped onto the train and headed down to sit with Harriett and Maia, my Slytherin friends, well I call them that. I sat down across from Maia and Harriett and the train gave a jolt and then we were off. Off to my favourite place in the world. As Mcgonagall's daughter I always wondered why I couldn't just arrive with mum but she always said I had to get the train. I suppose it was part of the experience. 

Rose - How were your summers?

Harriett - Great we had the best time in France

Maia - Good too I spent a lot of time round Draco's

Maia had been dating Draco since last year. Even though he tried to kiss me just two weeks after they got together, he made me swear not to tell Maia or I'd pay, whatever that means. We talked for the rest of the journeys about what classes we were most looking forward to. Mine of course was potions, Snape was an awful teacher but I had a talent for potion making even he couldn't deny that.

We arrived at the station and there stood Hagrid while the first years gawped at him as he lead them to the boats. Everyone else made their way to the carriages. As we were walking to the carriage someone in the group stood on my robes, it was an accident and they apologised profusely but they had ripped my robes nevertheless. Draco began laughing at me

Draco - Starting the term off well then Mcgonagall?

I ignored him and walked off. Of course Maia was too busy staring at his 'beauty'

We arrived at the castle and it was still as enchanting as ever. It seems to get better every year, more welcoming more full of life. We sat on the Slytherin table in the great hall and had the sorting ceremony, if your not a first year the sorting ceremony is extremely boring so I try to look for anything else to distract myself. I was sat opposite Draco as Maia had sat next to him and he began trying to interlace our legs, you know when someones trying to do that thing where they flirt by sticking their leg in between yours, disgusting if you ask me, and he was dating my best friend. I kicked him in the shins but he continued. Professor Snape seemed to come over at the exact right moment. He said quietly " Miss Mcgonagall will you please follow me I need to have a word with you quickly". I stood as quietly as possible and followed Snape out of the hall wondering why in the hell he'd want to talk to me
