A/N: When I first wrote this, I actually calculated how old everyone would be. Or at least, I tried to calculate. If I calculated wrongly, please don't get too mad and just deal with it…

Also, I turning away from the usual Rose + Scorpius thing. I'll be putting Rose with someone else, and Scorpius with someone else, but I shaunt tell you who, that'd spoil the fun!

Tell me what you think! :) all reviews are welcomed!

Chapter 1

"Mum, dad says that if I'm not in Gryffindor, he'll disown me! Is he telling the truth?" Worried young master Hugo Weasley.

Hermione Granger Weasley gave Ron an evil eye. "Oh he said that, did he? Well take note, Hugo, your father said that to Rose, and she's in Ravenclaw. Tell me, have we disowned Rose?"

Hugo looked at his older sister, who was in her third year at Hogwarts. Her freckles and nose were in deep in a book. "Well… dad keeps saying he'll disown Rosie…" Hugo's voice trailed off.

Ron seemed to be listening to the conversation. He gave Hermione a silly grin. In return, Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "Don't listen to your father, Hugo."

Ron quickly changed the subject by saying eagerly, "Look! Oy! Harry! Over here!" Ron waved vigorously to a man with black untidy hair and bright green eyes. He wasn't very tall, but he had that scar in the shape of a lightning bolt. He was Harry Potter. The Boy who Lived.

Harry returned the wave, and beckoned his family to follow him. The three young Potter children raced ahead of Harry to greet their cousins and uncle and aunt.

Lily Potter quickly went to Hugo's side and said eagerly, "What House do you think you're going to be in?"

Hugo glanced at Ron, who winked at him. "Gryffindor!" He said with might.

Lily said wisely, "I think I'll let the hat decide on where I'm going to be in." She tried to tie her hair back into a ponytail, but it failed, so she just let the long red ripples ripple onwards.

Albus whispered to Rose, "I hope she's not in my house…"

"I heard that!" Lily said indignantly.

"So! Is it true, Rose? Are you and Scorpius together?" James asked, butting in and putting an arm around Rose and Albus. Albus didn't look too thrilled about James locking onto his neck.

Rose shrugged James off and said, "We're not together! We aren't even in the same house for crying out loud!"

Albus muttered under his breath, "Glad he's not in my house." Albus ruffled his jet black hair and gave a moody look at Lily. He gently shoved her aside. He really didn't like it when girls crowded his bubble.

Lily dropped her voice as they all began their mindless gossip. "It's really surprising that he's in Gryffindor. I think the hat made a mistake!"

Albus made a face, "That guy is scary."

"He's not too bad," James said, winking at Rose. Rose glared at her teasing cousin.

"That's exactly why he's scary," Albus said pompously. "He's not like a Malfoy. He's… he's… nice… it's like… he was raised in a barn or something," Albus explained exuberantly, throwing his hands up in the air.

"Almost eleven!" Ginny said, tapping her Muggle watch, a gift from her husband.

"Like I said, he's not too bad, is he, Rosy-darling?" James said, jostling Rose. He gave her a mischievous smile.

Before Rose could sock James in the face, James took off with his trolley and ran into the wall of Platform Nine and Three quarters. There was a ripple as his foot disappeared.

Rose, grimly looked at the brick wall, and ran into the wall with righteous anger, as if she were imagining that the wall was James's face.

Albus pushed his jet black hair out of his face, and ran into the wall. He always flinched when entering it. Suppose he crashed into it?

Ginny nodded to the nervous Lily. "Don't worry, Lil. Just run."

Harry took Lily's trolley and said, "I'll push the trolley for you."

Lily obligingly let go of the trolley and ran into the wall and vanished.

"Great! I never got to talk to Rose about not being too cuddly with that Malfoy boy!" Ron said, balling up his hands.

"Just cool it, Ron!" Hermione hissed at Ron. She grabbed her husband's collar so he couldn't go chasing after Rose.

"If I see them snog—" Ron started.

"I said calm down, Ron!" Hermione pleaded.

Ron threw his hands up and said, "Okay! Okay! Don't blame me if we get a Malfoy in the family!"

Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "Ron, they're just thirteen."

Ron held his tongue and ran into the wall, vanishing, like everyone else.

Hermione followed, helping Hugo with his stuff.

"Mum, if I'm in Slytherin, will daddy get mad?" Hugo asked timidly.

Hermione reassured him, "Hugo, if you're in Slytherin, be proud of your house. You don't see Albus being ashamed of being in Slytherin, do you? It's about what's inside you, not what house you're in."

Hugo sighed and hugged his mum tightly. "Bye, mum!"

The big red train that said Hogwarts Express on it was starting to puff and steam. Children shoved and jostled each other. Everyone was eager and excited.

Hugo climbed aboard on the train and waved to his mother.

Hugo found the compartment with his cousin and her friend, Lucy Longbottom.

Lucy pushed back some pale blonde hair and said excitedly, "I'm going to be a Hufflepuff! That way I can always be with daddy!"

Hugo sighed and said enviously, "It must be nice to have your father be the head of Hufflepuff."

Lucy grinned and said, "Mummy said she wished she could live at Hogwarts, but she's been busy with the nargles! I helped her hang up the mistletoe around our house, you know."

"It's not Christmas time," Lily said, frowning.

Lucy nodded softly and said, "I know, but mummy says—"

"Why would you have mistletoe up when it's not even Christmas time?" Exclaimed Lily.

Lucy tried to explain to Lily why they had mistletoes around their house, but Lily couldn't understand why one would have mistletoes when it wasn't Christmas time.

Meanwhile, Rose was having a hard time trying to find a compartment. She ended up in a mostly Slytherin compartment.

"I'm kind of hoping Lily isn't going to be in my house," Albus repeated for the fourth time. He gloomily looked out the window and watched the scenery go by. Albus liked his little sister, but she could be a little beast at times. Not that Albus was never a beast. Noooo never… he was just a little moody at times.

"Quit worrying about it," Henry Finnen said, unwrapping a chocolate frog.

"Easy for you to say, Hal. You don't have an annoying little sister," Albus snapped back.

A boy with brown hair and simple looks said, "I do."

"Hey! Take that back, Corwin!" Said a small girl, with brown hair and honey coloured eyes. She glared at her older brother.

"Only joking, Sydney!" Corwin chuckled.

Rose rolled her eyes and said, "I'm leaving to find more mature people to talk to."

Albus snorted incredulously and said, "More mature, eh? More like more silly people."

Albus muttered some more at Rose, as she slammed the door close.

"Please be a little more careful with those doors. They are rather pricey," said a tall woman. She had a slithery smile, and a small dimple. She had brown hair and brown eyes, very simple and dull in Rose's mind. Too bad she didn't have blue or black or silvery hair. Or maybe black or orange or sea green eyes. No, this woman was simple looking.

"W-who are you?" Rose asked in astonishment.

"Professor Ravens," she said simply. She didn't look at Rose for a second time. She merely swept past Rose and went down the hall, her black robe following.
