AN: So I've been wanting to write a fanfic about this for sooo long. (: I've finally found the inspiration to do so. I know Rose/Scorpius is overly done. But, I haven't quite decided where I'm going with this. So bear with me. As I continue you through the chapters, I may not even have Rose end up with Scorpius. I haven't figured it all out yet.
Well, I hope whoever's reading this enjoys it! (: Constructive (and nice) criticism is always welcome!
-xo!
Rose felt warmth from the candles on her face as she leaned in to blow out the tiny flames on her birthday cake. Her face split into a huge grin. This was it. She knew exactly what this meant. It wasn't every day you turned eleven, and now she finally was. In exactly a week, she'd be heading out on the Hogwarts Express, /finally/ going to Hogwarts, where she belonged.
When she opened her eyes, she looked around at all the smiling faces of her family. Her mom, dad, and brother, Hugo. Her aunt Ginny and uncle Harry were there too, and her cousins, Albus, James and Lily. Albus was the same age as Rose, his birthday just a few weeks before. Both of them would be going to Hogwarts together, in the same class. Teddy was also there, and more of her cousins, Victoire, Dominique and Louis. He, too, was her age.
Glancing up, her mother came to her side with a knife in her hand, handing it to Rose. "Time to cut your cake," her mother, Hermione, had whispered in her ear. Ever since she could remember, most of her family had celebrated their birthdays with both Muggle and magical traditions. Birthday cake was part of a Muggle tradition. She gratefully accepted the knife from her mother and drew a deep breath as she sliced the cake.
"CRUMBS, CRUMBS, CRUMBS," her brother, along with Albus and James had chanted. She groaned. This was one of the things they had learned through Muggle tradition.
Slowly, with caution, Rose pulled the knife from the cake. Sure enough, little chocolate crumbs covered the edge of the blade. "Now you have to tell us who your boyfriend is!" she heard Albus erupt. The boys all started to laugh, even Louis, who didn't quite understand these particular antics.
"Well, that'll be hard, considering I don't have one yet," Rose said, sounding unnervingly like her mother.
