Sorting Hat

"Come on Albus, let's go inside." Albus nodded and followed the intelligent Rose inside the compartment. They saw James talking with his friends. Rose was silently looking out the window when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and glanced at Albus.

"The candy cart is outside, can you get something for me, please?" Rose nodded and walked outside. She saw a boy there about her age buying candy.

He noticed her looking and smiled, his hand held high. "Hello, I am Scorpius, nice to meet you." His smile was warming. Rose took his hand and shook it.

"I'm Rose." Scorpius silently thanked the lady and left. Rose went back into the cart with a full bag of candy.

After a long wait they finally reached their destination. Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. Known to be the safest place in the world.

"I'm scared." Albus announced.

"There is nothing to be afraid of," Rose sighed. "We can get through this, I read through all the books I could find about Hogwarts, it says that the test is so easy that no one has failed."

"But at least you have read about magic, I don't even know anything."

"You'll be fine." They sat for a while until an old lady came in and welcomed them into the big room with candles floating in the sky and 4 long tables with children sited all over. Albus gulped as they walked forwards and saw a hat on top of a chair, were they suppose to lift it up by magic?

"I am going read out your names in order and I will ask you to sit here and let the hat sort you into your four houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Ok so let's begin, Ahjaugad, Melody!"

"Hmm… interesting Hufflepuff!" As the sorting hat spoke every first year was shocked with amazement, but the year has just begun.

"Malfoy, Scorpius." Rose stared in shock, as the boy who was nice to her on the train was actually a Malfoy.

"Slytherin!" The sorting hat said before it landed on his head. He grinned in satisfaction and sat down with the Slytherins.

"That guy is Draco Malfoy's son." Albus said with anger.

"I know, our dad's pure enemy." Albus nodded his head and glared at Scorpius.

After a while of saying names finally Albus's name was mentioned, he walked up and sat down, nervous. "Gryffindor!" Albus sighed with relieve and walked off the stage.

Rose stood up gracefully as her name was called. She sat down and waited. "I could put you in that house, but it would be weird and hard for you. Gryffindor doesn't match you up as much either. Let's see if you can fulfill your overall potential in… Ravenclaw!" The Ravenclaw table cheered as she sat down upon all her new friends. As Dumboldore waved his hand the room became silent. He gave his speech as solemnly as he did every year with precise and details. As the meal began, everyone ate quickly.

"Wow did you swallow that?" Rose asked a boy in the same year.

"Yep, I'm starving." He said as he continued grabbing everything he can. Rose sighed and picked up a piece of bread, eating it slowly. "If you don't eat quicker, you will have no time to fill your stomach."

"If you don't eat slower, you will choke."

The boy grinned and raised his hand. "I'm Liam." She shook his hand and smiled. Liam couldn't help but blush.

Over at the Slytherin table, Scorpius Malfoy was looking over to the girl that he thought was cute. She was the mudblood's daughter; she was also a blood traitor. His father has taught him those words, even though he didn't know much about them. He watched as she giggled with a weird boy who had fat cheeks. He felt a weird feeling boiling inside him, an unfamiliar weird feeling.

Jane nudged him and he turned his head around to look at her. "What are you looking at?" She asked in her bossy voice.

"Oh, nothing." He glanced down and picked up his spoon. As they finished supper, everyone followed their houses. Scorpius followed quietly as his friends chatted beside him. His face looked towards the ground, thinking about that girl. All of a sudden Scorpius tripped over something and moved his hand forward so that he doesn't hit the ground. He looked downwards and saw Rose blushing and eyes widened. Scorpius got up and pulled Rose up.

"Thank you." Rose said as she brushed her robe.

"Your… welcome." Scorpius coughed to break the silence. They both looked around and noticed that the halls were empty.

"Do you know where my house is?" Rose shook her head. They both sighed and glanced down. "Ok then let's look around." As Scorpius started walking Rose quickly followed behind. "So do you like quidditch?"

"Never played it before, but my dad is a big fan."

"Your dad is Ronald Weasley right?"

Rose nodded and commented. "And your dad is Draco Malfoy."

"Enemies." They continued silently. There was no noise but the sound dripping water. It was all black but a few torches on the side and the faint glow coming closer and closer. "Do you think the person is coming our way?"

"Maybe." As the glow came close enough, Rose could see a familiar shape.

"James."

"What are you walking in the halls this late, and with him." James glanced at Scorpius with disgust.

"We were lost, so we tried to find our houses."

"He's telling the truth." Rose agreed.

"I'll bring you there Rose." James said as he began walking.
