My name is Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. I was born in 2006 to Draco Malfoy and Astoria
Greengrass. I was eleven years old and I must have been the most excited boy ever.
Tomorrow I finally got to go to Hogwarts. I'd had my school stuff ready for weeks and made
a calendar to put on my wall counting down to the September the first. I couldn't wait I'd
finally get to be with kids my own age. I just couldn't wait for tomorrow as I lay their on my
soft bed dreaming about Hogwarts my face just couldn't stop smiling and when Mum
came in to tell me to go to bed I didn't even whinge.
I ran at the barrier between platforms 9 and 10 and came onto platform 9 3/4. Looking at
the Scarlet engine putting out steam everywhere I couldn't help but smile. We went over
to put our luggage on the train on the other side of the station was a large family of red
heads. Dad gave the family a nod. They must be old friends that he made at school. I was
now really exited and couldn't wait to get on the train, meet some friends and have the
time of my life. Grinning my mind wandered as mum went through all her expectations
again. 'Don't go wandering about at night. No going into the forbidden forest. Write home
if you have a problem with anything at all.' I'd heard this about fifty times already and was
to busy daydreaming to listen. 'Oh look at the time,' Mum was saying 'the trains gonna
leave any minute now. Now Scorpius please behave yourself'. 'And send us a letter as
soon as you get there telling us you're in Slytherin.' Dad added smiling. I really did hope to
be in Slytherin I mean Dad was, Granny and Granpop were in fact the Malfoy family had
been in Slytherin for countless generations. Mum's family were also all Slytherins so it
would be a huge let down if I wasn't in Slytherin. Mum saw the worried expression on my
face and elbowed Dad in the ribs. He gave Mum a what was that for look and she rolled
her eyes, oh he said silently. I to rolled my eyes they seriously didn't think I could see
them. Dad lowered himself down to my height and smiled 'Now son' he said 'I'm just
joking when I say you have to be in Slytherin it doesn't really matter what house you're in as
long as you behave yourself and the best of the education your getting, OK.' I smiled
relieved that he wouldn't be to angry if I didn't end up in Slytherin. I walked over to the
train and walked up the corridor smiling to myself. Some people catching up after a
summer apart, others betting on who would win the Qudditch Cup this year Scotland or
Norway. No one seemed unhappy. So here I was boarding the Hogwarts express off to
learn magic. Off to have a great adventure.
