"So that's little Scorpius," Said my father under his breath." Make sure you beat him in every test Rosie. Thank God you inherited your mother's brains."
I turned to look at who my father was talking about. A boy about my age with platinum blonde hair and pointed features was standing next to a man who I was well aware of: Draco Malfoy.
"Ron for heaven's sake! Don't try to turn them against each other before they've even started school!" Shouted my mother. I, however, thought my father had a point. Scorpius sure didn't look like the nicest of boys. He had a cocky sort of manner and when he saw me looking at him he gave me a look of pure disgust.
"You're right, sorry." My dad said to my mother and then turned back to me. "Don't get too close to him though, Rosie. Grandad Weasley will never forgive you if you marry a pureblood." I just smiled and then followed my favorite cousin, Albus, to find a compartment on the train.
We dropped off our stuff and headed back out to say our final good-byes to our family. I gave my mum, dad, and brother, Hugo, one last hug and kiss and realized it was about time to go.
"Come on Rose!" Albus said before he grabbed my hand and pulled me back toward the train as I waved a final time to my family.
We got back to our compartment and inside there was a dark haired girl.
"Oh, I'm sorry." She said in thick Irish accent. "I didn't realize anyone was sitting in here."
"It's perfectly fine." Al told her. "Are you a first year, too?"
"Yeah. I'm Diedre Finnigan." She said smiling.
"I'm Albus Potter and this is my cousin, Rose Weasley."
"Nice to meet you." I said as the door of our compartment opened to reveal two boys, one who I recognized as Scorpius Malfoy.
"Do you mind if we sit here?" The other boy asked.
"Lucas!" Scorpius shouted pulling him away." Do you realize you're asking a Potter and a Weasley?"
"What?" Lucas looked at him stupidly.
"Never mind we'll find some place else to sit. Somewhere without this filth." Scorpius said and turned, with his friend, leaving us.
"Not like we want you to sit with us anyway."
Maybe my father was right about him.
From that moment on I have followed my father's advice when it came to Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. He was no different from any of the other Malfoys. I guess it's just bad blood. So, I made sure I beat him in every test. This wasn't exactly hard considering I am top of my class. And over the past six years , I definitely didn't get "too friendly with him" and I never plan to.
