Rose

James, his friends Alex and Emily, Albus, and I were walking together on the train. So far all the compartments were full.

James, Alex, and Emily are inseparable. I love them.

It's just me and Albus. We are don't separate either. It's funny, we must act the same way they do.

I could see James say something to both of them in a low voice.

"Nooooo!!!" I heard Emily scream and all three of the burst into very loud laughter.

Me and Albus hung out behind them, whispering to each other and laughing.

Someone came out of the compartment in front of us before I could move out of the way. I fell backward the moment I'd walked into to person.

I was about to accept the hand that was going to help me up until I realized who it belonged to. Someone I didn't like even though I'd never met him.

Scorpius Malfoy.

I know it sounds mean to hate someone you've never met but this was different.

This was the Malfoy child.

I don't accept his hand and get up on my own. James, Alex, and Emily are a lot further ahead now.

"You're a Weasley," he said looking at me. "And you're a Potter." He smiled. "I've heard a lot a about you."

"And we've heard a lot about you," Albus says, coldly.

The smile drains from his face. "I swear, I'm not like him, I--"

"Just stay away from us," I say. We both walk walk in the direction of James, Alex, and Emily.

The Malfoy kid just stood there, staring at us.

James

Me, Alex, and Emily got into a compartment close to the back of the train. We all sat down but we noticed someone was missing. Two someone's.

"Where's your brother, James?" Emily asks. She has light blue eyes and dark brown hair and looked concerned.

"Your cousin, too," Alex adds. "I thought they were right behind us. Alex has dirty blonde hair and aqua coloured eyes.

Before I can respond Rose and Albus walk into the compartment.

"There you are," I say.

"Your brother was missing you already, Albus," Alex says, smiling. "I'm not sure what he'd do without you."

Rose and Albus both smile.

"What happened back there slow pokes?" Emily asks. She easily likes Rose and Albus the most of the three of us.

"We talked, ate some food, went shopping, and milked a cow before you got here!" Emily exclaims.

"Shopping?" I ask.

"Milked a cow?" Alex asks. "Seriously?"

"What?" asked Emily, innocently.

"Did you guys make some friends?" I ask.

"If we did anything, I think we did the opposite," says Albus.

"What do you mean?" asks Alex.

"We ran into that Malfoy kid," says Rose in a deeper voice.

"Literally," adds Albus.
