Scorose

Chapter One

Rose

It was my first year at Hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and wizardry. I finally got to go! I have been waiting for this ever since I was five and my mum, Hermione Granger, told me about the war and when she went there.

"Let's go! Mum, hurry up!" I whined as my
mum dragged my father out of the house, and into the car, because myself and Albus, my favorite cousin, were too young to apparate.

We all climbed in the car and I was so jumpy and so excited just to get to Hogwarts. I can't wait!! I thought to myself.

At King's Cross Station, we met up with the Potters. The Potters are Uncle Harry, Lily, who didn't go to Hogwarts yet, James, who was in third year already, Aunt Ginny, and Albus. We all hugged and celebrated. Then, we all just got on the Hogwarts Express, and headed out of the station, frantically waving to our parents.

Once they were out of view, I sat down and used magic to put my robes on.

"Accio robes," I said, and they came flying into my hand. As I was walking to the bathroom to change, I merely bumped into someone, and their stuff went flying.

"Uh, sorry," I said as I tried to pick up the mess I made. I noticed that the kid, he had platinum blonde hair and silvery eyes.

"No problem," He said. "My name's Scorpius by the way."

"Oh, um, mine's Rose," I mumbled.

"That's quite a nice name you've got there," Scorpius said. "Oh, and, is your cabin full? I have nowhere to sit."

"Oh, no problem," I said. "You can sit with us."

Only, there was a problem. Scorpius' last name is Malfoy. The Malfoy who stood and watched as my mother was tortured by Bellatrix LeStrange. I honestly didn't want a Malfoy closer than a foot away from me, but I was only being polite.

As soon as I made it back to the cabin and Scorpius walked in with me, Albus immediately said, "Rose. Hallway. Now."

"Um, excuse me," I said. I stepped into the hallway. "What do you want now, Albus?"

"I want to know why you came back with Malfoy."

"Well, I fell, and he helped me pick up my books, and, he couldn't find an empty cabin. So, I was being polite and said he could sit with us! Do you have a problem with that?"

"Yes, yes, I do, Rose. Mum and Dad say to stay clear of Malfoys. Especially that one!"

"Well, I was just being nice, okay?"

"No, not okay," Albus growled. "I don't want to see you near him again once we get to school. Hear me?" I nodded quickly and ran away.
