"Okay darling, are you sure you have everything?" I nod with a small smile, "Yes mom, I double checked my suitcases this morning." She wipes away a tear and pulls me in for a tight hug. "I can't believe that my little girl is growing up so fast.." She hugs me a little tighter and I can barely breathe. "Mom, you can let go now." She lets me go and gives me a short kiss on my forehead. I chuckle, "Oh Harls." Says my dad and hugs me tight. "Okay darling, so remember the house elves are very friendly, just tickle the pear on the portrait and they'll let you into the kitchen, stay as far away from Peeves as possible and who are you allowed to be friends with again?" "Everyone except for the kids whose parents were Deatheaters." He smiles, "That's a good girl, now go, you don't wanna miss the train!" I hug them both one more time, "I'll miss you!" I say before jumping into the train, "Bye!" I say waving one more time before I get in the Hogwarts express, they both look exhausted, the war had slowed them down. They looked tired all the time, the only time I saw them smile was when we were all together. I've heard the soft crying of my mother at night. She lost her brother and parents, she was broken. My father had trouble healing her mentally, but love can always find a way, right?

I'm walking around the Hogwarts Express, all the coupes are filled with people, I'm seeing no spare seats. Then I bump against someone, who's a few inches taller. "Watch where you're going!" I say a bit irritated, "Easy you, shouldn't a lovely girl like you sit down?" I hear a boy-ish voice say, I look up and look directly into the emerald green eyes of the devil himself, Scorpius Malfoy. I've read about him and his family in the newspaper, his parents were very close with Voldemort himself. Scorpius' wild platinum blonde hair was slicked back, his robes new and shiny, and his eyes shining with mischief. "I don't have a place to sit, Malfoy." I answer back, "Well don't your friends have a place for you to sit?" He asks with a smirk, "No, because I don't have any friends, yet." He chuckles a bit, "Well in that case, because I always like to help out a lady in need, I have a private coupe, you're welcome to come and sit with me, if you'd want to of course." My parents certainly wouldn't approve of me sitting with a Malfoy. But it's not like I'm marrying him or something. It's just a short train ride of a few hours, not much, plus he seems like a nice guy.

"That's nice of you, thanks Malfoy." I say with a nod, "Call me Scorpius, it's down the hall, you'll recognize it. I'm just getting something from the trolley, you want something?" "No, thanks, I'm good!" I say with a smile, he leaves towards the trolley lady. I walk into the/his coupe, and wow, seriously how rich is his family?! There's Slytherin curtains, a big Slytherin tapestry, green couches, a Slytherin tablecloth, there's a lot of silver as well, don't even get me started on the ceiling. I'm just standing there in awe when Scorpius comes back in, "Have you been standing here looking around the whole time?" I nod, my mouth still open in awe. We sit down on the green couches, "So you're certain you'll be sorted into Slytherin?" He nods, "Almost 100% certain." "Wow, that's amazing I guess, but is it just the pressure of your family wanting you to be in Slytherin or do you really wanna be sorted into Slytherin?" "I guess it's just tradition, I wanna make my family proud and not be an outcast and to do that I have to be put in Slytherin."

"I have a Harry Potter card, you?" "Hermione Granger, again. I have like a thousand of her." Says Scorpius whilst rolling his eyes, I snort. "What? And that wasn't very lady-like by the way." "Your dad and Hermione knew each other, isn't it weird that you get her on chocolate frog cards? And also gender equality, don't be such a sexist Malfoy." "They knew each other yes, my dad doesn't like to admit it but Ms Granger once punched him in the face." I chuckle, "That's actually something to be proud of since she's is now the minister of magic." Scorpius smirks the usual Malfoy smirk my mom told me all about, "I'll make sure to remind him of it."

Then I see us nearing a train-station, "We're almost there!" I say excited, Scorpius looks outside a smile visible on his face. "So any ideas what house you'll be in?" Says Scorpius whilst stuffing the last chocolate frog into his mouth. "To be honest, I've got no idea. My mom was Gryffindor and my father a Hufflepuff so I can be one of those two, but honestly I don't care much where I'm going to be sorted, I just want to have friends there." I say shrugging it off. "Cool, I hope we'll be sorted into the same house, you're kinda cool Afias." He says grinning at me, "You too Malfoy, c'mon let's go!" I say when the train makes a stop.

"Scorpius Malfoy!" He walks to the front with his head held high, I smile at him, and he smiles back. "SLYTHERIN!" Shouts the sorting head, Scorpius was expecting this of course, he nods and half smiles. There's cheering from the Slytherins as he joins them. "Albus Potter." The whole hall is silent, a brown haired boy walkes to the front. He's the son of Harry Potter of course! The sorting hat is silent for a few moments, it's almost like it's confused. "SLYTHERIN!" There's a long silence, everyone looks confused. "A Potter in Slytherin?" Then all the whispering starts. Albus is sits down across from Scorpius, and they greet eachother with a small nod. "Harley Afias." I walk up to the front and feel all eyes on me. How do people stay calm up here?! The sorting head is placed on my head. "Yes, yes, you'll do great things in....SLYTHERIN!" "Merlins beard three Slytherins in a row, I hope they won't be like the golden trio, I absolutely can't handle more of those." I hear a professor mumble behind me. I smirk and walk up to the Slytherin table, who of course are cheering. I see Scorpius with the same smirk, "You and me are gonna be great friends Afias, we're gonna rule the entire school." I chuckle, "You're insane Malfoy." The boy sitting across from me is looking down, looking like the world just ended. "Hi, I'm Harley Afias, nice to meet you." I say to Albus with a smile, "Hi I'm Albus, Albus Potter." He shakes my hand, "Kind of a shock, isn't it?" I ask him, he nods, "Well I'm sure you're put in here for a reason!" He smiles softly, "Yeah, I suppose so."

-*-

I had to part from Scorpius and Albus and go up to my room, I walk in to see two girls giggling on a bed showing each other something. "Hi, I'm Harley." I stutter nervously to the other two girls in the sleeping room. "Oh hi! I'm sorry I was just showing Cas these pictures! I'm Michelle and that's Cas." Says the raven haired girl with a smirk, the girl named Cas gives me a small wave and a smile. I smile back at her, "Are there more people sleeping in this room? Or is it just us?" "There's supposed to be another girl here, she'll sleep in the bed next to you, what was her last name again? Zabini or Nott?" "It's Zabini." Says a girl standing in the doorway, "Hi, I'm Emmy." She says with a small smile, "Harley." I say with a polite smile, "Michelle and Cas." Says Michelle first pointing to herself then to Cas.

"Have any of you brought pets?" Says Emmy, breaking the silence, "Oh yeah, I have an owl and Cas has a black cat, very witch like." Says Michelle, Cas shakes her head smiling. "What about you Harley?" I shake my head, "Nope, I might get one in my third year or in my fourth but not right now." I say with a pout, "So, here's the real question, have any of you seen any cute boys yet.." Says Michelle with a smirk, our giggling echoes through the halls.
