Secrets

Chapter 4

It was now time for Hogwarts. Hogwarts! The name itself made Constance jump in excitement. She wasn't going alone, but with Lily and James and Al and Rose and Hugo! She was awfully excited, and even Harry had to calm her down.

A few months later...

It was leaving. The Hogwarts Express was leaving! Yet she felt lonely. The others had gone off with their own friends, even Lily left (feeling a little bit guilty). Suddenly a young boy approached her. He had slick platinum blonde hair with stone grey eyes and with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Hi," he said.
"Hallo," she replied. She hasn't quite sure where, but she had seen him before. Somewhere. She shook the idea out of her head while he sat down beside her.
"I'm Scorpius Malfoy. And you?" asked the boy.
"Constance Granger."
That's where she had heard the name. Malfoy. Was she related to him?
He chuckled, yet it was smooth and romantic. She felt like she could tell him anything.
"So how's your mother?" he asked.
"You know her?"
He nodded.
"Well, she's, you see, she's dead," she stuttered, and before she could help it she cried in his shoulder. He wrapped his arm tightly around her and gave her a small kiss on the cheek. Suddenly Lily walked in.
"Listen, I knew you were alone so I came -" she stopped.
"Connie!"she exclaimed.
Constance immediately stopped and perked up. She blushed wildly and grabbed her ready to exit. She ran off; Lily gave a dirty stare at Scorpius yet he followed Constance nevertheless.
"Constance!" he cried.
She was there, further up the corner, yet easily spotted with her bushy sandy blonde hair dancing behind her. She dashed into the nearest compartment and there stood Hugo, James and Al.
"Hey!" exclaimed James. "Have you seen Lily? She owes me 5 galleons. I hate her!"
Constance vigorously shook her head, and before she knew it Scorpius entered the compartment.
"Stay away from Connie!" Hugo shouted, pulling out his wand. Scorpius laughed and grabbed her hand. Constance clasped it and ran with him. It was hard to leave Hugo, James and Al utterly confused and decided she would tell them later.
"Constance - I need to tell you something," he whispered.
