Rose's POV
TToday is the day that will change my life. I'm going to Hogwarts! After years and years of dreaming about using magic, Today is finally the day, But today is also a day of goodbyes. I won't be seeing my family for some time, but I don't mind. As long as I have my best friend/cousin Albus. Albus is your typical dork, he is sweet but clumsy. I don't mind that of course, that's what I like about my cousin.
Standing at the king cross station made me realize how close I am to my dream, I'm finally going to Hogwarts! I've heard a lot about Hogwarts from my parents, but I do hope that my time at Hogwarts will be a little bit safer, you know, without an evil wizard and a war that ends in many deaths... I do hope that I live up the expectations of my mother, she was the brightest witch of her time. But if I'm not as smart, then you can't blame me, I'm also my father's child.
As I promised to write my parents as soon as I get there and every week till Christmas, my eyes got drawn by a rather pale looking boy who stood awkwardly by his father. The boy saw me staring and I looked away, but not before my father saw him. "Don't get involved with them, they're purebloods", he said. "But you're a pureblood too, dad", I responded. "Yeah, but those are evil", he said while making a weird face. I can't help but laugh and he pulled me into a hug and said: " I'm gonna miss you my little Rose." "I'm gonna miss you too, dad. But I promise I'll write." "And if you don't, I'm gonna send you a howler to remind you to do so." "DAD!", I said as I push him away. "If you do that then I will tell mom." "On second thoughts," he said. "Maybe I won't."And we both laughed. "Good call Ronald," mom said . "Honey if your father ever does something that can embarrass you in ANY kind of way, then feel free to write him a howler." "Of course mom, I'll definitely do that."
The train started to whistle and I pull my mother in for one last embrace. "Bye mom, I'll miss you and I'll write you every week." "I'll miss you too and I'll respond every letter you write to me. Unless you don't want me to." "I do." She kisses my forehead and I walk onto the train. I wave at them one more time before I walk into the compartment with James and Albus in it.
"So", I said when the train starts to ride. "So..." Albus responded. "What should we do?" "We could talk the entire time, but that will sure start to bore. So I suggest we play a game.", I said. "What kind of game?", James asked. "The kind of game that you play on a ultra-new DS that I got for my birthday!" I answered. "But our parents told us not to bring them!" Albus said. "Even if you could play it now, if the battery is empty you can't charge it till Christmas." "Brother dear," James said. "We're going to a school where you can use magic Albus, MAGIC. Surely we can find a spell to charge a DS." "Great thinking James." Albus said sarcastically. "But don't you remember that electronics don't work in Hogwarts?" "Sure we'll find a spell for that too.", James answered. "And if you'd stop complaining, then we can play too because I've brought ours."
After hours of playing, our batteries finally gave up. "I'm hungry.", James said. "And I'm up for a walk.", I said. "I'll walk over to the trolley and buy us some sweets." "Good idea, buy me some chocolate frogs.", James said as he threw a galleon at me. "My treat." "Thanks.", I said. "What do you want, Albus?" "I'll eat whatever you buy.", he answered. "Okey. I'll see you guys later.", I said as I walked out of our compartment.
As I walk towards the trolley, I could see the pale pureblood boy sitting alone in a compartment reading a book. I felt pity for the poor boy, I decide to buy some sweets for him too.
After a long walk through the train I finally found the sweets trolley. I bought a lot of sweets and some drinks. I walked towards the compartment of the pale boy, but the compartment was empty. I figured that he must be taking a walk or so. When I turn around I bumped into a person. "I'm so sorry.",I said. When I look up a saw the pale boy staring back at me. "What are you doing here?", He asked.
"I- I saw you sitting alone and I thought that you might want some sweets." ,I stammered.
The boy looked surprised, but then he straightens his face. "No, I don't need your sweets.", He spat out the word "sweets" as if it was filth. "Well then I'll be leaving.", I say. "Wise decision." He said. Before I turn away a looked him in the eyes and said: "My apologies for trying to be nice."
Then I turned away and walked straight to my compartment. I didn't tell James or Albus a thing about what happened.
