As Scorpius walked onto the platform with his parents a step behind, he stopped taking in the sights in front of him. There were so many families talking, hugging, and laughing with each other. His eyes fell on the train, the Hogwarts Express. The train was a grand and pretty sight in the eyes of the eleven year older. His father placed his right hand on his shoulder. "Come on son you cannot stare at the train all day you have to get on it," stated Draco in a cool tone. Scorpius started to walk again, Draco watched his son and let the memories of his years boarding the train flood his mind. He looked over towards his wife, Astoria smiled warmly before taking his hand. Scorpius stopped again and turned to face his parents to get the goodbyes over with. His mother gave him a warm and tight hug. "I want you owl us every day, study often, behave but still have lots of fun." She whispered the last part before giving him a wink. She pushed back the tears as she kissed him on his forehead; this was the first time she would be away from her son for a long period of time. Scorpius looked over at his father who was looking away at something. He followed his father's eyes to a group of people talking and laughing. He did not see why or how they had grabbed his attention, but the Scorpius saw her, he was captivated by her hair. It was a bright red unlike the others who had a darker shade of red.
Scorpius could not take his eyes off her as he loaded his trunk and then himself on the train. He watched he out of the window, he was a bit saddened when he saw she would not be boarding the train. He continued to watch her as she walked away and disappeared with the rest f the group. The train began to move which woke Scor out of his trance he made his way to find a compartment. The ones he passed were either too full of occupied with people that gave him looks. He passed the other glares and whispers. He was not used to this treatment but he had experienced t more and more recently. His father had told him why after the stares, whispers, and the occasional yell at the family on the school shopping trip in Diagon Alley.
He continued his journey to finding a compartment, found one that was a smelly one that no one else wanted. He placed his trunk up and took a seat before he let out a sigh. This was the beginning and he was already lonely, wanting to go back home or even attending Drumstrang instead like his father had suggested. He closed his eyes and let himself drift off to sleep. He was just about to go to sleep when the door swung open. He looked up at the raven haired boy and red haired girl that had opened the door. The two stood looking at the blond haired boy before the raven haired boy spoke, "Err….sorry to disturb you." the two then turned to leave.
"Wait stay, its plenty of room in here." stated Scorpius with the hope that they would stay even I they did not talk to him. They looked at each other before looking back at the blond and walked in. They took seat across from his. Scorpius reached out his hand to the girl first, "Well my name is Scorpius." a weak smile covered his friendly face. The red haired girl out and took his hand. Her mother had always taught her to return friendliness.
""Well my name is Rose and this is my cousin Albus." She smiled as she pulled her hand back and pointed at the raven haired boy who gave a slight nod with a smirk. Rose intentionally not said their surnames as had Scorpius they did not want to be judged for their surnames, but for themselves.
"But please call me Al, Albus is such an old person's name." stated Al
"Well it's not as if Scorpius is much better." joked Scor with a light laugh.
"Well then well will have to give you a nickname then," replied Al. "How about Scor?" asked Al as he started to come out his shell with Scorpius. He smiled as Scorpius smiled and shook he his is approval.
"Well I prefer Scorpie,"stated Rose before the door again. A long haired blond girl was looking at them frantically. "Albus Potter and Rose Weasley I have been looking or you too everywhere."
"Well Ally James ditched us for his friends and we saw you in a crowded compartment so we kept moving on until we found our new mate Scorpie who allowed us to share his." Rose said with a smile and as her best friend walked and sat beside her before giving her a hug.
"Hey Ally," stated Al returning to his shyness. The two looked at each other blushing before looking away at Scorpius.
"Pardon my manners, I am Allison Longbottom but please call me Ally," said the blond as she reached her hand out her hand towards him. He sat with his jaw clinched tight and eyes big looking at three people he would least expect to ever talk to him let alone be so nice to him. They must not know who I am thought Scorpius as he shook her hand.
"Well I am Scorpius," stated Scor as he looked down at the floor and as they released their hands, "…Malfoy," added Scorpius not wanting to see their reactions. Ally rose and eyebrow and looked at Rose.
"We knew your surname, we were not sure if you would yourself if you knew ours," replied Rose as she looked at the boy that was so outgoing a few moments ago. She had decided moments ago that she would disregard her father statements and be his friends. Silence fell over the compartment. "So what house do you want to be sorted in?" asked Rose trying to get a conversation.
"Well I really do not care; the results will be the same for me. What about you guy?" asked Scor trying to turn the conversation away from him.
"Gryffindor," replied all three in uni-son. The three continued to talk about various subjects. Rose soon announced that it was time to change into their robes. The boys got up to allow the girls to change first. The boys returned later and changed. They started to talk again about quidditch. When the train stopped the group of four made their way to boats being escorted by Hagrid. The four made sure they were in the same boat wanting to stay together as long as possible. As the image of the castle came in the view, the group was in awe. "I thought the Hogwarts Express was something, that was nothing," whispered Scor where the other three only heard him.
