"Cedric...Are you coming too?" Rogue asked, looking at the boy who's bags were packed and lying on Dash's bed

"Yeah he needs to practice Quidditch, seeing as he almost killed you last time. I told him he could practice on our field" Dash answered as he finished packing his bags

"You didn't tell me he was coming" Rogue, the sister who needs everything planned perfectly, hissed

"Well you let Flood bring the Weasley boy and Harry Potter" Dash replied, acting as if he was a child who was mad because he didn't recieve candy and his brother did

You know like, but mom he got to eat the chocolate and I didn't type way

Rogue sighed and grabbed her jacket off Dash's bed that she had left there awhile ago

"Okay boys, just be ready and down by the train at 5 the little ones are already there"

"Little ones?" Cedric asked as Rogue left the room

"Yeah Pansy, Draco, Blaise, Flood and his friends. We call them the little ones. Then Coco Zabini, Ezra Cullen my sister and now, you as well are the middles, and then I'm the oldest" Dash explained

"Then why does Rogue always act in charge" Cedric laughed as he recalled how she had just interrogated her brother and how motherly she looked back at Diagon Alley with Flood

"She's always been like that. I think it's cause my parents are the toughest on her, being the only Slytherin kid. On that note, let's go before she kills us" Dash urged, pulling his bag over his shoulder.

Rogue helped the littles pack their bags on the train and Cedric watched her admiringly. He liked how caring she was, always helping others before herself.

"Did you need something Diggory?" She asked, smirking up at the boy

"Oh no, I was just waiting to put my stuff on" He began to throw his bags on the train but Rogue grabbed the bag from him

"I got it, just go take a seat with Dash"

"No no your arm is still recovering Rogue. I broke it remember?" Cedric said smiling at the girls who was attempting to carry bags with only her left arm

"No worries Diggory, you didn't mean to. Plus it isn't broken anymore so I'm okay"

"I still insist, and that still looks painful" He said, pointing to her bruised arm then grabbing the bag out of the her hand and putting it on the train. Next, grabbing Rogues bags and doing the same thing

"Thanks" Rogue said shyly before boarding the train, Cedric following behind her

Although they were going to the same place, all the kids separated in to their groups.

Ron, Harry, Flood and the curly haired girl from before all sat in the Gryffindor part of the train, discussing about some rock

Cedric and Dash sat in the Hufflepuff section, planning out their plays for the Quidditch cup, seeing as they had won against Slytherin and were now competing against Gryffindor

Draco, Pansy and Blaise sat at a table in the Slytherin segment, all talking about how much they despised Potter and how they hated that he was coming. Winning them lots of disappointed looks from Rogue and Coco

And lastly, Rogue Coco and Ezra all sat in a cabin, Cocos cat laying on her lap and Rogues nose stuffed in a book.

"You really should enjoy your break R" Coco said annoyed "Why don't you try to talk to Cedric? He is staying at your house all holiday, nows your chance to flirt with him"

"She right Rogue, he's going to be all up in your mansion, maybe you guys can have a sleepover" Ezra winked suggestively

"We're 13 Ezra" Rogue replied disgusted, looking at her two friends who were smirking back at her

"Age is just a numberrr" Coco said in a sing-song voice which caused Ezra and Rogue to snort in response

The rest of the train ride was quiet, but it wasn't an uncomfortable quiet, rather a calm one.

"Okay guys, theres a lot of you so partner up and each of you take a handful of Floo Powder, say 'Phoenix Mansion, Scotland' and make sure it's Scotland because it might take you to one of our other mansions" Rogue announced

"They have more than one?" Harry whispered to Ron who nodded back, who had already learned this fact when he was little, but was still amazed each time he heard it.

One by one each person made their way through the Floo network and in to the Phoenix mansion

"Ah so nice to be back" Coco said as she took a seat on the couch and propped her feet up on the table

"Wow" Ron and Harry looked around in amazement at the large white castle-like mansion

"Pretty isn't it?" Rogue smirked before walking the boys over to their cottage

"So it's a little way away from the house but at night we have guards that circle the mansion so you don't need to worry. Also, the cottage is protected by a charm, so that any first year Slytherin, specifically Draco and his goons won't be allowed in. Dinner is at 6 every night but you're always welcomed to come to the house at any time of the day. Our main house elf, Otis is willing to make you any meals you desire" Rogue explained to the two boys

"Anything?" Ron looked at her in amazement

"Yes Weasley, anything"

"Thank you Rogue, you seem to be the nicest Slytherin I've met" Harry smiled at the girl

"Well sometimes Slytherins aren't as evil as you think" She replied before making her way back to the mansion

As she opened the large glass door she saw Cedric standing in the foyer, looking at her family pictures

"I was cute wasn't I?" Rogue smiled

"Merlin Rogue you scared me" Cedric laughed, placing a hand over his heart to demonstrate his fear

"Sorry"

"You were cute tho" He said, pointing to a picture of Rogue when she was a kid. Her hair was pulled neatly in to curled pigtails and her bright blue eyes stood out greatly against her pale skin.

"That was the day Flood was born, my mother was so happy" Rogue remembered the look on her moms face when Floods beautiful green eyes met hers. That was the last time she ever really saw her mom filled with joy

"Why are your parents in only one picture?" Cedric asked, immediately feeling bad when he noticed Rogue looking down at the floor sadly

"They aren't in our lives that much. My moms in charge of the whole Magical Law Enforcement and my fathers the second to the Minister of Magic- so they're always busy. They live in our manor in Britain, in order to be close to work. But my siblings and I stay here in Scotland, it's our more homey mansion." Cedric looked at the girl in shock and she shrugged at him in response. "They only really show up here when they throw parties or hold meetings, but they haven't done that in awhile" Rogue explained and Cedric looked at sympathetically. His father also worked for the Ministry, but he was always home for dinner and made time to spend with Cedric. He felt bad for Rogue because she seemed as though she was trying to be a mother to her siblings in order to make up for her parents absense, as well as a kid herself.

"Let me show you the Quidditch pitch" Rogue said, trying to change the subject.
