Redoing this
Rose swiftly boarded the train, after a few scary remarks from her father about disowning her if she should not be sorted into Gryffindor.
She knew he had been kidding, but it still scared her to think of what would happen if she wasn't sorted to her families house. She wouldn't mind being sorted into Ravenclaw, or even Hufflepuff, but the thought of being in Slytherin made her shudder. "You okay, Rosie?" her cousin and best friend, Albus, asked kindly.
She shrugged,"Just thinking."
Albus looked at her,"Is it what your dad said?"
She nodded,"Yeah. It just scared me, I guess. Kinda hit a cord in my mind of what would happen."
Albus nodded,"Agreed. Do you think I'll get into Slytherin, Rosie? With all of those Death-'
"Stop it, Al. Not all Slytherin's are that bad. You're named after one, remember? If either of us get into Slytherin, in won't be the end of the world. We'll stick together." Rose said, grabbing his hands. Maybe I should take y own advice. Rose thought to herself.
Albus smiled, nodding."Thanks, Rose."
"Aww, how sweet." a smooth and sly voice beckoned.
Rose and Albus looked to see Scorpius Malfoy lurking at them, the compartment door open. Rose rolled her eyes,"Yes, Malfoy, isn't it sweet? We are kind to each other."
"Hey, I was just kidding, Rosie." Scorpius smirked.
Rose rolled her eyes, walking over to Scorpius."Scorp, can you do me a favor?" she said in a sugar sweet voice.
Scorpius grinned,"No problem, whatsoever."
He swiftly left the compartment, leaving a bewlidered Albus and a slightly peeved Rose. Albus grinned at her cousin,"What happened to innocent little Rosie?"
Rose laughed,"She's growing up, one step at a time."she said, sitting across from Albus.
Albus looked a little sad at this,"Don't grow up without me,"he murmured."I'm still little Al."
Rose rolled her eyes,"And I'm still little Rosie,"she paused."But we're both going to have some growing up to do."
Albus smiled,"Thanks, Rosie. I don't know what I'd do without you."
Rose smiled,"I don't know, die?"she grinned.
Albus laughed. They both drifted off into a slumber, awaking to find that they were indeed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Rose and Albus took the ride down the lake to the famed school together, shaking with exicted nerves."What if-" Albus started worrying again.
"Al, don't worry. It'll all be fine."Rose reassured, smiling. They entered the school, following Nevi- Professor Longbottem. His speech went by in a blur for the two cousins. Everything really went by in a blur, until names were called. "Weasley, Rose!"
Rose took a deep breath, walking to the chair. The Sorting Hat was placed on her head."Hmm, difficult. There's little bravery, but very wise mind. Ravenclaw? No, too creative. Hufflepuff, too sweet. Gryffindor? No no, that will not do either. I see leadership, ambition. Ahh, I know! SLYTHERIN!"
Rose's eyes went wide. Her body felt numb, weak. She feebly walked to the Slytherin table, getting sweet smiles and encouragment. She took her place next to a smirking Scorpius."I called it on the train that you were goin to be sorted into Slytherin. I knew by the way you stood up to me, I was testing you, you see? And you certainly passed my test."
Rose scowled,"Gee, I'm glad I passed your test."
Scorpius grinned,"Only kidding."
Rose smiled a bit, trying not to."Well it was not funny." She averted her gaze from the smriking boy to where the rest of her family was, the Gryffindor table. Albus, only being sorted to the beloved house minutes ago, found her eyes and gave her a look of sympathy and- anger? Rose shrugged it off, they made an agreement, they were in this together.
Until, of course, Albus stopped being there for her when the tables turned. Rose felt a hand tap her shoulder. She looked to see a girl with raven black hair and emerald eyes smile at her."Aren't your parents Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger?"she asked.
Rose smiled, nodding proudly. The girl beamed, her hand outstretched."I'm Violet."
Rose shook it."Rose."she stated. A new Slytherin girl bounced up to them,"Hi, um, I don't have anyone to sit with. Can I sit with you guys?"she breathed.
They nodded eagerly, motioning a seat next to them. She sat down,"I'm Cassidy."
"Violet."
"Rose."
"Pleasure."she grinned. She had shoulder length chestnut hair with light brown highlights. Her blue eyes complimented her hair perfectly.
Scorpius looked at Rose, grinning."You're already fitting in perfectly with the Slytherin's."
They all laughed, but it still pained Rose to know she was not going to be with her family.
But just a little.

That night, Rose, Scorpius, Violet, Cassidy, another girl they met named Angela, and Scorpius' friends, Blake and Jack, sat in a circle in the Slytherin common room, sharing funny stories and scary ones. "And the hippogriff ATE. HIM. UP." Violet finished dramatically. The girls giggled nervously, the boys snickering.
Rose looked at the time, as it told her it was 3:41. "We should probably go to sleep..."
They smiled."Have we told you nothing?"Scorpius started."You're in Slytherin now. We can do whatever we want, whenever we want, for however long we want. We're no goody two shoes Gryffindor's."
Violet grinned."We break the rules."
"We have fun!"Cassidy piped in.
"And we stick together!"Angela beamed.
"The seven of us are officialy best friends. Starting here and now, we have each others backs." Violet spoke confidently.
The rest grinned, nodding.
Rose thought, I was so right when I said Slytherin's aren't all bad!
One by one, the rest of the group left for bed, until only Scorpius and Rose remained.
They both mumbled goodnights awkwardly, going their seperate ways to their dorms.
A first day at Hogwarts sure can be productive.
Okay, this iss the first chapter on my new LAPTOP! :D
I deleted Black Roses Red, and replaced it with this.
This is way better.
