My first HP fanfic! R&R & and enjoy!

"Bye Daddy!" Rose Weasley waved at her dad, as the Hogwarts Express motioned away from King's Cross. Albus also waved too. He had a relectunt face. Eventually King's Cross became nothing but a speck.

"We're finally going to Hogwarts! I can't wait. Let's go get a compartment Al," Rose said, still waving. "Al?" she turned. Apparently he was gone. Most likely to find James. It really didn't matter to her though. She shuffled through the corridor of the noisy train. She often peered into the windows of the compartments, but mostly all of them were full of older students. Rose then came to the final compartment. She decided to sit in it, whoever was in it. Her tawny owl Sofia screeched loudly. She was desperate to sit down, and threw open the door. Inside was a girl. She had a long blonde hair.

"Oh! Hello Alice!" Rose greeted her once she recognized Alice Longbottom. She had seen Alice before. She was in her Uncle Harry's house parties.

"I know who you are?" Alice smiled at her. "You're one of the Weasley people. To many of you, I'd say. Don't take any offense though! I saw you at that Battle of Hogwarts Reunion at Harry Potter's house a few months ago," she said as she looked out the window, not wanting to say anymore. Rose also sat down.

They stared out the the window in uncomfortable silence. "Finally going to Hogwarts!" Alice canceled the silence. Eventually they had they're own decorated conversation about the subject. Gryffindor is my house, I suppose. My dad is also in it. He's also the head of the house and Herbology teacher too. He's in one of the compartments in the front. On a second thought, I don't think it's cool for your dad that's a Hogwarts professor to follow her daughter around. My older sister Anastasia is in Hufflepuff. My mother was in it too. What about you, Rose?"

Rose finally had a chance to talk ever since she greeted Alice.

"I'd like to be in Gryffindor, but it's not like I have a choice. My daddy told me I'd be disinherited, but he's joking... I hope. My Uncle George told me we hide to fight an Inferi. I for sure he's obviously lying. But my dad is still determined that I get into Gryffindor. It's not like I'd be the first though. My cousin Victoire is in Hufflepuff. She's a stupid. Just like my Aunt Fleur. Hufflepuff is full of dolts anyway."

Rose and Alice continued on their conversation. They talked about wands, Quidditch, and classes. Rose had observed Alice's peronality. She seemed nice, but a bit fiesty and Alice grew tired of the Hogwarts subject.

"Were is that trolley lady? I'm absolutely dying for a Chocolate Frog!" she said as she got up and closed the compartement door behind her.

Rose finally had peace and openned a book she dug through her book. It wasn't a textbook since she already read them all once she got them Flourish and Blotts. Her face was buried in a Nancy Drew book. She had read nearly ever Nancy Drew book from the easy chapter book to the old time mysteries. Nancy had taken great influence over Rose, and it facinated her. She had learned to read and write in primary school her mother enrolled her. She often played tricks

She heard the door open. Rose slammed the book closed in great disturbance of the loud noise. "Alice! How much Chocolate Frogs did you get?" Rose said annoyed. Apparently, it wasn't Alice in the way of the door. It was a boy, but it wasn't Albus or James. He was blonde, so blonde it was almost white. The mysterious boy's face was pale and white, that it didn't contrast with his hair. He was skinny as many other students, he wasn't wearing his school robes yet. He had a purely white T-shirt and black pants. In his right hand, he had his wand, and in the other was a silver trunk. To Rose's great dislike, he didn't look too pleasant.

"You're that Scorpius kid from the platform! My daddy told me not to talk to you!" Rose shrieked. She quickly openned her book again, but her eyes didn't scan the page. She wasn't even at the place she stopped. She looked up in frustration to see his pale face."What do you want? Why are you here?"

"You already know who I am, don't you? Looks like your smart enough to count to two, Weasley girl?" Scorpius sneered.

"Stop it," Rose said firmly. "I'm not suppose to talk to you."

"Aw. Daddy's Little Princess does everything he says?" he taunted. He looked for more to insult at Rose. "Are those robes secondhanded?"

"Stop!" said Rose shakily. She was easily shaken to tears. In primary school, some bullies often picked on her and her friends she had. They were easily sympethatic, and cried until the bullies got away before the teachers would get them. Yet again, another bully was picking on her. "Shut up, shut up, shut up you stupid pure blood! My mum works with this cases," a small tear came across her freckled cheek. She looked down at the Nancy Drew book again, but she was unable to concentrate.

"I-I'm sorry!" Scorpius stuttered. "My dad told me he didn't like your dad. I though I was suppose to be mean. Stop crying. Somebody is going to hear," he calmed her as he sat down. "I couldn't find the people my dad introduced me to. I don't like them thoough, but I couldn't find their compartment. What's your first name?"

"Rose. They told me my hair was a rosy colour when I was born. It's sort of auburn now," Rose said as she twirled her hair around her wavy hair. "Well, we're both eleven, right?"

"I'm I about to turn 12 in two months exactly!" Scorpius said proudly.

"I won't turn twelve until next year. Mine is on January 20. I'm like a winter rose," Rose smiled.

"What are you reading?" he said dryly.

"Nancy Drew," Rose said sternly, remembering he wasn't suppose to act kindly to him.

"I never heard of her. What's happening."

"Nancy just fell into a tunnel after investigating an odd house."

"What about the Ministry? Can't she send sparks?"

Rose's lips curled. "Of course not!"

"Then where's her wand?"

"Nancy doesn't have one!" Rose's crying that had happened over one minute ago had turned into a giggle.

"Can't she Apparate out?"

"No!" she laughed uncontrollably. Scorpius blushed with confusion. "Nancy Drew is Muggle!"

"A Muggle?" Scorpius said in astonishment. "Why would a wizard write about a Muggle."

"It would be obvious since the auther in also a Muggle!"

"Why on earth are you reading a Muggle's book?"

She stopped laughing almost instantly. "What's wrong with reading a Muggle's book? It's spellbinding like our Hogwarts textbooks."

"How did she get out?"

"It was a tunnel back to the house she was staying at," Rose replied. Scorpius leaned in closer to see the words of the books, but Rose closed the book and held it out to him. "I'm nearly done. You can borrow it."

"I can't read a Muggle's book!" said Scorpius promptly as he jumped back as though Rose was just handing him Dragon Pox.

"You and your stupid pure blood laws," Rose said playfully. "I'll tell you what happens then. Nancy-"

"She's in here, Albus," came Alice's voice. The door slid open and she and Albus was standing in the doorway. Alice had an armful of Chocolate Frogs and Cauldren Cakes buried in her hands, and Albus still had his trunk and owl. Alice gave a sudden yelp.

"Malfoy!" she shrieked as she threw a Chocolate Frog at him.

"Hey!" Scorpius stood up angrily, throwing the Frog out the window.

"What are you doing here?" My dad is in front of the train! He says your dad isn't a good person!" Alice continued.

"Well, I'm not my dad!" said Scorpius irritadedly.

"Oh," Alice's voice softened.. "Get up. That's my seat," she sneered again.

Scorpius made a strange noice as he got up and Alice took the seat. Malfoy sat down next to Rose and Albus slumped next to Alice.

"Took me awhile for me to get some food. I saw Al who still couldn't find a compartment. Luckilly, I found him! Then I got my treats. There wasn't a line though, and that was the best part! Unfortunately, the trolley lady got mad and said we had to wait in our compartments," Alice said rapidly.

"You better get your robes on. I assume Hogwarts is close," Rose interrupted.

Al finally spoke. "You had your robes on ever since we were on the platform.

"I still can't wait," Rose smiled happily.

"Good evening new comers! I suspect your boat ride here with Professor Hagrid went smoothly," said a man once the first years came to the front of the great doors of the Great Hall. The man was quite handsome, but a little aged. "I am Professor Lukic, and I serve as Deputy Headmaster and Tranfiguration teacher at Hogwarts. Now, what you are about to enter is the test you must discover to enter into the four houses- Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. Each has it's own noble history beginning with our own co-founders. I assure you, each house has led many wizards to great achievments. Now, let us enter the Great Hall to be sorted. Please wait here."

Rose thought the introduction sounded quite vague. "He seems quite full of himself," she whispered to Scorpius who was right next to her.

"I heard he's an illegal Animagus," he retorted.

"He's aristocratic though," added Alice. "Daddy says he's a very fine teacher and also says none of his students ever recieved anything lower than a E in their O.W.L.s. Transfiguration is suppose to be a very hard subject."

"Not really. In A Beginner's Guide to Easy Transfiguration, it doesn't look to hard. I already read the book," Rose whispered as a girl with brown hair cut through between her and Albus.

"Over achiever," Al mumbled. "Is their nothing you can't do?"

Instantly, the double doors openned. The room was lit by torches, and the ceiling was endless which was stamped with stars. There were four giant hourglasses lined up against the wall. The first contained rubies, the second, sapphires, the third, emeralds, and the fourth, topaz. There were four long tables that came from the back to the front with many laughing students. To back wall there was a table full of teachers. Rose thought the interior looked spellbinding. Her eyes saw James and his friends at the Gryffindor table. There was also Fred, another red hair cousin of her, along with Dominique. At the Hufflepuff table, she spotted Victoire, beautiful and blonde as usual. Alice pointed out to her older sister Anastasia, a pretty girl with strawberry blonde hair who was laughing along Victoire and many other radiant girls.

"I don't see any Inferi!" Alice whispered.

"Inferi?" Albus murmured loudly. "James said we had to fight a dragon! That git!"

Scorpius chortled.

Right in front of the teachers' table was a single stool. A tall man with green robes stood up.

"Daddy!" Alice smiled gleefully. "He was a little stirred when Ana was in Hufflepuff. Maybe I'll be in Gryffindor like him."

Alice's dad placed a patchy hat on the stool.

"A hat! We put on a hat!" Albus said angrily. "I'm going to curse James once I know how!"

"That is dumb," Scorpius said.

The Great Hall become quiet. No sound came. All eyes were on the Sorting Hat. Slowly, it moved like a mouth. To many of the first-years amazement, it started to sing.

Not long ago or maybe more
I was created and sewn
The founders took the throne
With knowledge they fed
With names that are still said:
Gryffindor, with bravery from the heart,
Very young and loyal,
Ravenclaw, when smarts come about,
They will never fail
Slytherin, with many pure-blood laws,
Cunning and ambitious
Hufflepuff, a house with no flaws
Loved all with worthy of admission,
Thus, created Hogwarts
With minds like mine
For I will sort, and also assign
To the ones with their broad minds
Try me on and you will see
How the Sorting Hat will work and glee.

A/N: yes, I made my attempt on writing my own song. I find it that I'll never be able to write songs and please, don't hate me for the lack of enthusiasm I put into this. LOLZ I'm really weak.

A loud applause followed.

Lukic walked up to the stool with a long list. "I will call your name, and you will come and sit on the stool. I will place the hat on your head, and then You'll be sorted. Now, Abraham, Christina!"

A girl with black braided hair timidly approached the stool. Lukic lifted the hat from the stool and Christina sat. There was a moment of silence.

"HUFFLEPUFF!" came the voice of the Sorting Hat. Rose saw Victoire and Anastasia clap fervidly.

The cycle repeated when Melanie Ames was called, and was sorted into Gryffindor. There was an eruption of cheers coming from the table.

"Babler, Cailee!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Bumble, Derrick!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Carmiel, Cami!"

"RAVENCLAW!" the sorting hat shouted as Cami reluctantly moved to join the other Ravenclaw students.

"Dicks, Corey," became the first Slytherin.

Rose eventually grew tired of the sorting. When she attended primary school, they were assigned to teachers. The difference was, Hogwarts was much cooler.

"Goucher, Isaac," became Ravenclaw.

Rose thought more and more if she didn't make it into Gryffindor. Would her dad really disinherit her? Victoire was in Hufflepuff. Maybe it didn't matter. But that was Uncle Bill. Aunt Fleur didn't even attend Hogwarts.

"Longbottom, Alice!" eventually came.

Alice exitedly fast-walked to the stool. In ten seconds or so, the Hat shouted "RAVENCLAW!" Rose half-expected Alice and her dad to be disappointed. Instead, Alice threw the hat to Lukic and skipped and laughed all the way to sit next to Cami Carmiel. Her father clapped with a broad smile on his face.

Right after her was Scorpius. Very proud-looking, he sat upon the stool and just when he sat onit, it was almost as instantly when he was sorted into Slytherin.

The hat continued sorting. "Moon, Natali"... "Numrich, Donny"... the a set of triplets, "Oleson, McKenzie"... "Oleson, McKelsey"... and "Oleson, McKaley," all became Gryffindor except McKaley who became Ravenclaw.

"Pan, Jasper"... "Poisey, Juliet"... and then Lukic called out, "Potter, Albus!"

Albus, who was originally next to Rose, nearly broke into a run to the stool. He softly put the hat upon his head. Rose say Albus's lips move. After 20 seconds or so, the Sorting Hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" Al scuttled off to sit next to James and his friends.

There wasn't much left. The next boy whose name Rose didn't hear became Gryffindor also. Next was a black girl with tight french braids who was called "Thomas, Murphy," and became Ravenclaw. Rose noticed she didn't look too happy.

At last, Professor Lukic calles "Weasley, Rosemary!" As much as she hated the name Rosemary, she quietly came to the stool and sat on it. She felt Lukic place the hat on her head.

I want to be in Gryffindor. I'll be in trouble if I don't. Rose thought.

"Gryffindor?" answered the Hat. "A Weasley again. Gryffindor should be where you belong. There is no trouble whenever I plant someone in a certain house." Rose's palms started sweating. For I am old, and I know you shouldn't belong in Gryffindor." Her heart beated faster. "You deserve to be in..." Rose couldn't hear anything now. She longed to be in Gryffindor. Anything. "...RAVENCLAW!"

She couldn't tell if she was happy or scoared. Reality or a dream. She hesitated for a bit, and silently walked to the cheering Ravenclaw table. Her dad was sure to disown her. She was smart, but was it good enough for Ravenclaw? She hurried next to Alice.

Eventually, "Yang, Suyin," became Ravenclaw too, and "Zabini, Paisley" became Slytherin.

An old woman with mignight blue robes, Professor McGonagall made a welcome speech, warnings, etc,

"Being in Ravenclaw. Crazy. Aren't I right," Alice whispered to Rose. Rose only nodded.

"Now, let's begin out feast!" In an instant, food suddenly appeared all over the table.

Rose noticed Murphy Thomas with a glum expression. "Is there something wrong?" she approached her.

Murphy raised her head. "I don't belong in Ravenclaw. I'm not smart at all."

Alice leaned in. "I saw you at that Battle of Hogwarts Reunion at Harry Potter's house a few months ago!" She grabbed a bowl of beans in front of Murphy. "Isn't you dad Dean Thomas. Am I right? And your mum was Padma Patil? Right?"

Murphy nodded. "My mum was in Ravenclaw, but I'll never be as smart as her."

"I feel the same way. My dad I need to be in Gryffindor, but I'm not." She sliced a piece of strawberry shortcake onto her plate.

"Don't be negative!" Alice cried, with her mouth full."I find it absoletly fabulous we're lucky to be in Ravenclaw. I feel extremely different. Like a special one in my family. The Hat never lies. There's a good reason why we're in this house."

Rose and Murphy smiled from ear to ear. It was true what she had said. Murphy's fork motioned to get a piece of turkey. Rose waved at Scorpius at the Slytherin table. He couldn't wave back unfortunately because he was trying to get away from Paisley Zabini, a girl with a long crooked nose with short ugly black hair. Scorpius turned his head to see Rose waving at him. He blushed, but Rose had turned around to wave at Albus. Fortunately Albus also waved back, but it had looked as if his lips were saying "Help me". Rose glanced over to his left and saw James and his friends mixing up different food combonations in one reddish-blackish blob. She hooted with laughter.

Rose could tell she was going to have the most fanatastic time at Hogwarts, all seven years of it. With Alice, Murphy, Scorpius, and Albus. She felt different.

To be continued...
