Their Seventh Year

Scorpius

I wake up and remember that I start my seventh year today. I look over to find that on my bed side table is a letter from my father saying that he had to leave early for work. Big surprise. He's never home anymore. I get up and go down stairs. My home, Malfoy Manor, looks lonely. No one ever bothers to clean it up. Mom did but she is no longer on this earth. Bella try's but honestly she's just to weak. I find Bella in the kitchen as expected.
"Good morning." She says brightly. She's a good actress, I know she'll be sad to see me go but she's always all smiles. Bella is the same age as me. In fact she's my twin. But she was always to weak to go to Hogwarts. I smile at her.
"That it is. Whatcha making? I ask
"The whole thing. Eggs, bacon, and waffles." Bella says. She takes the pan of the stovetop and puts the context- eggs- on a plate. The waffles are already made so Bella and I sit on the ginormous table and eat. I look at the clock when I'm finished.
"I'm sorry Bell but I've gotta' go." I tell my sister. She try's to hide her disappointment.
"Okay." She says. I go upstairs into my room and grab my trunks. Then I go back down stairs and hug Bella. I don't say good-bye because I know Bella hates goodbyes. When I pull away I smile at her apologetically. I take a hand full of floo powder and hold on to my trunk as I say "Kings Cross Station."
Next thing I knew I was at Kings Cross. I spot many redheads and walk over to them. In the group I see Rose and Albus. The first thing I notice is Rose's hair.
"Rose! You're hair!" I say surprised. Rose's red- brown hair now only falls to her chin. Last time a I saw her which was only one week ago it was down to her waist. She smiles proudly.
"I needed a change. Mom wasn't to happy." Rose tells me without a hint of regret in her voice. I laugh. Rose's dad Ron sees me and scowls. He doesn't like me. One time he made a scene and Rose cried. He hasn't said a word to me since, for Rose's sake but he still has his ways of showing me that he's not happy with me being anywhere near his daughter.
We all run through platforms nine and ten in groups and board the Hogwarts Express.
