Rose Weasley was very excited. Actually, she more than excited. She grabbed Albus's hand as they boarded the train.
"C'mon Albus, we have to find a compartment. Most of them seem to be taken." Rose said as she walked through the train, at the same time, yanking Albus' sleeve.
"Calm down Rose, if you yanked at me just a little bit harder, my whole sleeve will come off! Plus, I bet we could sit anywhere if we wanted to! I mean, our parents are on chocolate frogs!" Albus said giving her a rather reassuring look. Rose smiled back, but soon her crescent shaped smile turned into a line.
"Technically, it wouldn't be on the chocolate frog, but rather, on the card in-"
"Okay, sorry for my -" Albus had been cut off by Rose's abrupt stop.
"It seems theres only one person in this compartment." She gave Albus a large smile, as if she had won the House cup. Rose almost went inside, but when the boy in the compartment turned sideways away from the window, she once again, grabbed Albus by the sleeve and yanked him down the train corridor.
Scorpius sat alone in his compartment for a while, either toying around with his wand, staring at the window, or looking down at his hands. There was so much hubbub happening outside, with all the parents saying goodbye to their children and there was even more chaos inside the train as children looked for somewhere to sit. He knew he wouldn't be alone in his compartment for too long, and he was right. Soon enough, A girl walked in.
"Do you mind if I sit by you? There's not much room left" Scorpius nodded. She sat across from him, and put her legs up on the seat as if she was right at home.
"Mollis Knobbery." She said, holding our her hand. He looked up at her. She had olive skin and dark hair that went a bit past her shoulders. Her eyes were a deep dark brown, making her eyes look as if they were black marbles, those eyes seemed very curious, almost too curious for Scorpius.
"Scorpius Malfoy." They shook hands. She put her hands behind her head and sighed. They spent a couple of minutes in silence.
"You don't talk much do you?" Mollis said. She knew who this boy was, you could easily tell by his last name. Draco Malfoys son, who was, Lucius Malfoy's son. Her parents tried to steer clear of the topic of the second war, it was, after all, a delicate subject that everyone hesitated to talk about, especially to an eleven year old girl. Nobody would tell her anything about it, stating that she was a bit to young to touch that subject. So, she went about on her own studies discovering much about the Second war, but certainly not enough, if she could talk to Scorpius's father, or possibly even grandfather, her life would be complete. Unless, of course, she got to talk to the man who defeated the dark lord himself. Honestly she didn't care who she would speak to, as long as they contributed a large part to the Second War. Once she met them, she could write an essay. An essay that she would send to the daily prophet that would land her an internship and sooner or later, that skank Rita Skeeter would die, or possibly retire, and she could take her place. That of course was her dream, but she was more than motivated to accomplish it.
"I only talk if I wan't to." Scorpius replied, breaking her train of thought. She knew this boy had to become her friend. So she smiled and tried to start a conversation with him.
"What house do you want to be sorted in?" She asked him. Scorpius was a bit scared of the way she was looking at him, like he was an object, or a cake that she could sink her teeth into. Soon, Mollis became aware of what he was thinking and turned to look out the window.
"Uhm - uh - Slytherin would be likely. After all, every single person in my family had been in Slytherin, well, as far as we can remember. How about you?" Scorpius turned to look at Mollis who had her eyes shut. Then she opened them.
"Eh- Slytherin, but I doubt ill be put there." Scorpius scrunched up his forehead.
"Why?" He asked.
"I'm a half blood, and, well, most of Slytherin is, well, Pure-Blooded." She said almost stuttering. Mollis honestly didn't care what house she got put into, as long as she was with him. She desperately needed to talk to a death eater. She needed Scorpius. He was the one thing that could lead her to fame.
"Rubbish! Voldemort himself was a half-blood, and i'm pretty sure there were more." He gave her a soft smile, probably saying that she had a good chance of getting into Slytherin. Scorpius didn't mind if Mollis was in Slytherin with him, at least he would have a friend, well, someone he knew to talk to on the first day. But he couldn't help looking at her, something was off, and he knew it. If only he could put his finger on it. She let out a large sigh.
"Well, unlike you, nobody in my family was in Slytherin. My mother was in Ravenclaw, and my father, well, he's just a muggle."
"Oh" is all Scorpius had said. For he and Mollis were unsure of where she would be sorted, just then a girl peeped in and she gestured for someone else to come in as well.
"Do you mind?" she asked. Before Scorpius could reply, Mollis replied to the girl with
"As long as you don't take up any of my leg space." Then Mollis closed her eyes.
Before they knew it, the train was leaving the station. Rose and Albus looked out the window spotting their parents and gave a very energetic wave, Mollis also gave a wave to her mother but it seemed as if she wasn't of most interest since after one wave Mollis turned around and fell asleep, Scorpius gave a small, but reassuring wave to his mother and father.
"Byeeee!" Albus and Rose yelled. They continued waving furiously, and before they knew it, their parents were out of sight.
"I wonder when the trolly will come?" Belle Mulier asked as she stared at the ceiling. She kept swinging her legs back and forth, Rose swore that if you looked at them long enough you would become nauseated. Belle Mulier had very wavy, unruly hair that stopped at her stomach. Other than her hair, Belle was very attractive, or one might say, cute. You could compare her facial featured to a pixie, or maybe an elf. The pointed nose, the rosy cheeks, she had it all. If only she managed her hair. Besides Belle was Stesso Mulier, her twin brother. They looked exactly the same, besides the hair, and his nose seemed a little bit more upturned. Rose sat by the window, and Albus was sandwiched between herself and their cousin Victoire who was attending her 7th year at Hogwarts. Victoire felt like a baby sitter where she was sitting. They were all first years and they seemed so small compared to herself. She followed Rose and Albus to make sure they would find a compartment, but when they finally did the train was packed, so she had no choice but to get in with them.
"Anything for the Trolly?" A faint voice had said from down the train. At this, Belle and Stesso got up and left.
"Where's James, Dom, Louis and the others? You would think your cousins would look after you during your first year." Victoire scoffed.
"Probably with their friends. Come to think of it, James stormed away at the platform and we haven't even seen the others." Rose said as she pulled a book out of her knapsack.
"Already studying Rose?" Albus asked, leaning over trying to read the book title.
"No. Just looking something up." She flipped through the pages of the book quickly, once in a while stopping to read. Albus leaned in more hoping to see the title of the book when Rose said
"Potions." Then Albus sat back upright and nodded to her. Victoire decided to play with her hair and Albus began to doze off. Just then, Belle and Stesso came in, each, with a handful of candy.
"I got the chocolate frogs!" Belle exclaimed as she unveiled two chocolate frog containers. She opened one, and as the frog tried to get away she quickly snatched it and put it in her mouth.
"Sneaky little things." she murmured as she took out a card.
"I got Hermione!" Belle was overjoyed. She had countless Dumbledores and Morgana's and was happy to have someone else. She was collecting their trio. Hermione, Harry and Ron and was lucky to stumble upon Hermione. She held the card to her chest and hugged it, but realizing that she could wrinkle it she broke the hug and lay the card on her lap. Rose rolled her eyes. She thought it was stupid to get so worked up over those cards, but Belle's squeal of happiness woke Albus up, and soon enough he whipped some cards out of his pocket and tried to barter for her card.
"I'll give you a Circe." Albus said as he pushed the card towards Belle, but she push it back to him.
"I'm never giving her up." Belle said as she hugged the card once again.
"But thats my Aunt." Albus stated as he reached for the card, but Belle quickly put the card in her pocket.
"Even more the reason not to give it to you. What's the reason of the card if you probably get to see her everyday?" Belle smirked, she continued to open her next Chocolate Frog. Stesso spit a jelly bean onto the floor, resulting in everyone giving him an odd stare.
"Vomit." He said. Everyone cringed at the thought of coming across a vomit flavored jelly bean, it was not Stesso's lucky day.
It had been silent in Scorpius' compartment since they left the platform. The girl and boy who had entered their compartment earlier sat next to Scorpius since Mollis had taken an entire seat. Mollis looked as if she was sleeping, but soon enough she opened her eyes.
"Can't sleep." she turned her head and faced the boy and the girl.
"Mollis Knobbery" She said as she shook their hands. The girl seemed reluctant to shake Mollis' hand at first, but after a couple quick seconds of thought gave in.
"Rowena Ungerade" she said.
"Grinsen Glic" the boy said as he shook her hand.
"That boy, Scorpius over there and myself are hoping to get sorted into Slytherin. You?" Mollis asked the two. Only a couple seconds passed before someone answered.
"Actually I'm a second year. Hufflepuff." Grinsen said.
"And I'm assuming you'll want to be sorted in Ravenclaw Rowena?" Mollis asked, raising one eyebrow.
"My name sort of gives it away being named after Mrs. Ravenclaw herself" She laughed. Mollis gave a small chuckle. Then, Grinsen took out a comic book and started reading it.
"Muggle born?" Mollis asked curiously.
"Mhhmm" is all he said back accompanied with a nod. Then Mollis stared at him. He was unaware of her eyeballing him, but Rowena and Scorpius caught he glance. It continued on like this for a couple more minutes. Grinsen was completely oblivious to Mollis staring him down and Rowena and Scorpius looked at Mollis thinking about what she was doing. But before the two could say anything, Mollis closed her eyes, and a couple minutes later, let out a faint snore.
"She's a bit odd." Rowena said as she turned to face Scorpius.
"More than a bit." He said looking up to face Rowena. Her face was pointed and sharp, but not taunting or scary in any way. Her eyebrows formed nice arches almost making her look forever surprised, but her eyes were sullen making her look, at the same time, very bored and possibly tired, her chocolate brown hair was pulled back into a braid, as if she was ready to hunt, or in her case, ready to learn.
"There you are!" James said as he stormed into the compartment.
"Where were you?" Rose scolded, slapping his arm at the same time.
"What are you talking about? I was here! I sat right across from you when we waved to our parents! I needed to go to the bathroom for a bit, and on the way back I got a bit lost. " Rose scoffed.
"I guess we didn't notice." Rose said followed by a smirk. Victoire covered her mouth and chuckled, Albus smiled.
"Shut your mouths! Rose you're a hypocrite! You're the most forgettable person I know! Red hair, blue eyes, just another Weasley!" Rose pulled her fist back but Victoire held her down.
"And I would watch you're mouth Victoire! Wait, you were while you were snogging Teddy Lupin!" With this Victoire's eyes widened as she let go of Rose. Rose punched James on the Arm, in reaction, he winced.
"For your information, I enjoyed it!" Victoire sneered as she looked down at her shoes. James made a gagging noise as he sat next to Belle. Belle had seemed oblivious to James until now. Immediately, she looked up from her cards and introduced herself.
"I'm Belle Mulier. Nice to meet you." She held her hand out. But, before he could take her hand, she quickly turned away from him and put her hair up in a ponytail. Then, she turned back towards him and shook his hand, at the same time, giving him a warm smile.
"Oh - and this is my brother Stesso." Belle said as she pointed towards her brother, he looked up from his Jelly Beans and gave James a nod.
"James Potter. 2nd year Gryffindor. You're a first year right?"
"Ye -Yes. I'm actually hoping to be sorted into Gryffindor too." Belle smiled at him, but quickly turned away and began brushing her hair.
"I wan't to be in Gryffindor too." Albus murmured.
"But, you're obviously too Slytherin to get in" James laughed. Albus just gave him the death stare, then, looked down to play with his wand.
"You're so immature." Rose said as rolled her eyes.
"Better that than boring like you." James sneered. Belle giggled, but when she met Rose's eyes, she stopped and looked down at her shoes.
"I'm going to change into my robes. I suggest that you change into yours soon. We're almost there." Rose said as she stormed out of the compartment.
Mollis was still asleep. Their compartment had been silent most of the trip, but, occasionally Rowena and Grinsen engaged in some small talk. Scorpius was too anxious to talk. He was too busy thinking about Hogwarts and playing with his wand. He wanted to be a great wizard, like his father was. Almost suddenly, Mollis got up and left with her robes. After a couple minutes, Scorpius decided to follow her, only to find her coming out of the bathroom in her robes.
"You probably want to change into your robes too. We're almost there. Ill wait for you here if you like." Scorpius nodded and changed into his robes. Then he came outside and accompanied Mollis once again.
"I was wondering, if maybe..." Scorpius stopped.
"What? Maybe what?" Mollis asked
"Nothing." He replied. Mollis hated it when people did that. But, she decided to ask about it later. They walked together towards their compartment but Mollis stopped a few compartments before theirs. She looked into their compartment, bewildered.
"Oh My Gosh! That's - That's -" But then the train came to a sudden stop causing Mollis and Scorpius to fall over. Rose, Albus, Victoire, James, Belle and Stesso stood at the door of their compartment.
"Hubba, Hubba." James said laughingly. At this, Scorpius quickly got up off of Mollis and dragged her away as she stared at Rose and her cousins.
"That was weird." James said. Soon, they got off the train. They had finally arrived at Hogwarts.
