Accidental Connections

Chapter 3

A/N:    Please please read this!! I started writing this story about a year ago and honestly I'm just so so tired of it. SO, that being said, I do have another Scorose FanFic that I'm not sick of yet, and I already have like a bagillion chapters written. I would be totally okay with uploading that one if you guys want, and I'd do one more chapter of this story just so that I can tell you more about the other one, before I actually upload it. If you would rather I try to finish this, I can try to push through it just for you guys. PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I LOVE YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS. HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS CHAPTER. ILY BYE.

Chapter 3

  Kings Cross Station is as crowded as usual. A large chunk of the families here are related to me in one way or another. My family is so large it’s hard to keep track of them all. Running onto the platform takes forever for all of us to get through.

  “Rose, make sure you study this year. No parties, unless they are thrown by a teacher. If you want to be an Auror you have to do well in potions, so you need to stay on Professor Slughorn’s good side.” Mum reminds me.

  “I know, Mum.” I smile.

  “And be nice to your family.” She adds.

  “I know, Mum.”

  “And don’t forget to write once a week.”

  “I know, Mum.” I laugh. I look at her and she pulls me into a hug.

  “One last thing,” She whispers into my ear. “If you want something, don’t worry what others will think. Just don’t do anything you would be embarrassed to tell me about.”

  I let go and look up at her, not sure what to make of what she just said.

  “I love you Rose.” She says with a smile.

  “I love you too, Rose.” Dad adds.

  “I love you too.” I give Dad a hug and wave to them I walk with Hugo onto the Hogwarts Express.

  I find an empty compartment and sit in the seat by the window. I have a lot to think about before we get to Hogwarts. I wasn’t going to be phased by the fact that I kissed Malfoy, but why did he kiss me? Does he fancy me? No, he would never. But why did it take me so long to push him away? Did I enjoy it? It was Malfoy, of course not. Would I have liked it if it was anyone but him? I’m not sure.

  “Hey Rose, can we join you?” I hear Albus’ voice. I turn to see him and Malfoy standing there. I tense.

  “Yeah, sure.” I give a small smile and try to relax. I watch the two of the some and sit down, Albus beside me and Scorpius across from us. I turn back to the window and watch the families at the station saying their goodbyes to each other.

  I remember when it was my first year at Hogwarts. I was so excited, but so scared at the same time. My mum tried to make me relax, but I kept shaking. I was scared about who I would meet, if I would do well in classes, what house I would get. The list goes on. One thing I do remember though, was my dad telling me not to get too friendly with Malfoy, and to beat him in every test. I’m definitely doing the latter, but getting too friendly? Three days ago I wouldn’t have been worried about that, but now? I’m not sure.

  “You okay, Rosie?” I hear Al’s voice ask. The train engine starts and we begin to pull away. I turn and look at him.

  “Yeah, why?”
