Hi everyone ! -waves- It's Aly starting a new fanfic! It's a Scorpius/Rose and obviously Post DH.
DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter and all that are related to it are the property of JK Rowling. Only characters with names not related to Harry Potter belong to me.
-----------------------------------------------------
As the train rounded the corner, Albus Potter stuck his head back inside the window. His cousin, Rose Weasley, asked him, "Were you just waving at your dad?"
Albus nodded, "Yeah, I was. Do you know what he told me? He said that you could give the Hat your own opinion. So maybe I won't be in Slytherin after all!"
Rose scoffed. "You were never going to be in Slytherin in the first place, Al!"
Then, a boy about Albus's and Rose's age stepped into the compartment. "Would you mind if I sit in here? Everywhere else if full."
Both Rose and Albus nodded as the boy sat down. He stuck out his hand and introduced himself, "I'm Scorpius Malfoy. And what are your names?"
Rose shook his hand. She felt a slight electrical current go through her arm as soon as their hands touched. She blushed and said, "I'm Rose Weasley and that's my cousin, Albus Potter." Scorpius's eyes widened as soon as he heard the name 'Potter'.
"So… are you really the son of Harry Potter?" Scorpius asked. Albus nodded, "Yeah, I guess I am. I don't really get it though. People were staring at my dad at the Platform, and now you're asking me if I was my dad's son. It doesn't really make any sense."
Scorpius's eyes widened even more, "You mean your own father didn't tell you about what he did? Did he ever tell you, Rose?" Both children shook their heads.
"Well…. how could I put this? Your father, and your uncle, saved the Wizarding world. He defeated the worst Dark wizard of all time. No one really likes to say his name, but I say it out loud. His name was Voldemort," Scorpius began. The pair of cousins were listening intently. "There was a prophesy many, many years before, and it had both Voldemort's and Harry's name in it…"
--------------------------------------------------
"Wow," Albus said just after Scorpius finished his story. "I can't believe my father never told me that. I don't understand why he would keep this a secret from me? Every time I asked him about his past, he would just change the subject."
"Come to think of it, he did usually do that. I never really knew why, though," Rose mused. "Maybe he didn't want you bragging about it?"
Albus shook his head, "Nah, I wouldn't do something like that. James, however, is a different story."
"Someone say my name?" a voice said. James Potter was sticking his head into the compartment. He had Harry's black hair, but Ginny's brown eyes. He was like his twin uncles in every way possible, except for looks. He was the mischievous one in the Potter family.
"I was just coming in to make sure my little cousin and ickle brother were doing alright," James said, full of mock pride.
Then he spotted Scorpius sitting across from Rose. "Well then, who's this?"
"I'm Scorpius Malfoy, and you?" Scorpius replied, sticking out his hand. 'He's such a gentleman,' Rose found herself thinking. 'Wait, what am I saying? I only met him! I do not fancy him!''
James stiffened upon hearing the name Malfoy, but tried his best to keep a straight face, " James Potter." He grasped Scorpius's outstretched hand and shook it. Both boys let go of each other's hands.
"I just came to tell you that you might want to put your robes on. We're approaching Hogwarts," James said. He had one foot out of the compartment door, when James added, " Oh and Albus, hope you don't get Slytherin." He had a mischievous grin on his face before he stepped out of the door.
Albus was putting on his robes, looking down at the floor, and muttering things like, 'Stupid git.' and 'What does he know?'
Scorpius already has his robes on and was also staring at the floor. He knew about his father's past with Albus's father, but he liked Albus and Rose and wanted to be their friend. He was also different from his father in many ways. He knew his father would be very unhappy if he wasn't placed in Slytherin. He didn't want Slytherin, however. He wanted…. Gryffindor.
And Rose. He looked at Rose, whose nose was stuck in a old and tattered copy of Hogwarts: A History. He could see the words 'Property of Hermione Granger' faintly written in the bottom right-hand corner of the book. He just met her, and yet… he felt a connection between them, one that he couldn't explain.
Rose tried to be engrossed in the book her mother had given her, but to tell you the truth, she was downright nervous. She really wanted to be in Gryffindor, although Ravenclaw wasn't so bad. She was worried about Albus. James kept on saying that he was going to be in Slytherin. She kept on saying to him that he wasn't going to be in Slytherin, but maybe he was.
She shook the thought out of her head. She'd almost forgotten what Albus told her about being able to state your opinion.
And Scorpius. She'd just met the guy, but she felt a connection between them, a bond. She shook her head. 'I do NOT fancy him!'' she thought.
She looked at him only to realise that he was looking at her. As soon as their eyes locked, they turned their heads and blushed.
Albus, oblivious to all of this, shouted, "I see Hogwarts!"
---------------------------------------------------------
Well that was the first chapter! My first chapters usually suck, but I swear, it'll get better ! R&R please ! Oh and Alexa and Klaudia, you'll probably come in the second or third chapter.
Thanks,
Aly.
