SECOND YEAR
Scorpius
Oh Merlin, they are gonna be so late! Where are they? Its almlst half past ten!
"Scorpius, dear relax. They will be here any minute now." My mother said, trying to sound comforting.
Well, they better be here soon or they'll miss their train. Just as I thought this, a mass of wild red hair came running upto me.
"Rose! Oh thank merlin you are here. I was worried you were going to miss your train."
"Hey Scorp! I'm so sorry. We got late-"
"Scorpius! Hey mate, I missed you soo much! I have so much to tell you." Al said excitedly.
"Hello, you must be Rose and Albus. I'm Astoria Malfoy and this is my husband Draco. Nice to meet you." My mother said kindly.
"Good morning Mrs. Malfoy, its a pleasure to meet you too." Rose said kindly, while Albus nodded.
"Oh dear, call me Astoria. I've heard quite a lot about you two, specially you, Rose. And from what I've heard, its all good." My mother said winking. My father merely snorted, and for some reason, glared at Rose.
Merlins balls! Why did she have to say this! I glared at my mother silently in order to tell her to stop talking before she embarrasses me anymore.
Just then, the train whistled, signalling the time to make a move. Thank Merlin for the timing!
"Potter Lily Luna" Said Professor Neville.
A small, red haired girl with green eyes stepped forward. She was the exact replica of her mother-except for her eyes, she had her father's eyes or her grandmother's. I saw both Al and James cross their fingers, hoping that she is sorted into Gryffindor so that she has her brothers to look after her.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
The Great Hall erupted into applause. The final Potter of this generation had been sorted. James was standing on the table and applauding, while Al was grinning from ear to ear and clapping very hard. She took her seat and was engulfed into bear hugs by her brothers, followed by her cousins.
"Weasely Hugo!"
Rose held my hand on one side, while she held Al's on the other. I saw Al's face in pain. She was clutching our hands too tight, but I didn't really mind. I was too busy staring at our hands and trying to hide my blush. In order to do so, I decided to look at Hugo.
He was probably taller than Rose, even though he was younger. He had the trademark Weasely hair, but wild and curly-courtesy to his mother. He also had soft brown eyes, which was also passed on from his mother. I know Rose inherited her father's blue eyes.
"Gryffindor!"
Her shoulders slumped in relief and she practically ran to her brother, almost teary- eyed hugging the life out of him. When he reached the table, he was greeted similar to Lily with lots of hugs and pats on the back.
Albus
Today was the day. Either I will be a seeker in the Gryffindor quidditch team, or my future plans of playing for the Puddlemear United will be shattered. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreak. Dad had told me storied of how uncle Ron was during his try-outs. This was the only thing shouting at me to put if together before the try-outs began. Looking at Rose and Scorpius, they certainly looked better than me.
"Al! Rose! Scorpius!" Alice called, while running towards the Gryffindor table, her brown hair bouncing and her soft eyes looking excited. For a moment, all thoughts of try-outs were gone from my mind.
"Hey Alice!" Rose greeted her and hugged her. Scorp nodded in her direction while I managed to give a shy smile.
"Hey mate, stop giving her the puppy eyes." Scorp whispered in my ear. He knew! Merlin's balls, he knew! I gave him a shocked looked which he returned with a smirk.
"I came by to wish you all the best for the try-outs. I hope you all get selected into the team." Alice said sweetly. Rose hugged her again. I looked at Scorp and we both understood- Girls! Alice then proceeded towards me, and for a moment I thought she was going to hug me too, but then suddenly stopped and simply shook my hand, blushing. I was blushing too. Why was she blushing?
"The new seeker for the Gryffindor quidditch team is Albus Potter." Called Anna Wood, the team captain. Albus litrally jumped a feet into the air, whooping. He then joined his brother James and cousins Fred and Roxy in the corner, not before wishing his two best friends luck.
"Chaser-Scorpius Malfoy," she called out. Scorpius grinned broadly and joined Albus who gave him a high five.
"Keeper-Rose Weasely." Rose shouted like a crazy person and ran upto Scorpius and Al and pulled them into a group hug. When she let go, she was kind of tearful.
"Hey Rose, whats the matter with you? You seem too tearful these days..?" Al said.
"Shut up Al. You wouldn't understand." Rose said suddenly angry.
"Boys can be so insensitive sometimes. Prats!" Roxanne said.
"Hey!" Yelled both James and Fred in unison.
The girls rolled their eyes and started moving back to the castle.
