Rose was in the boats and stared up at Hogwarts with a large smile on her face. She had heard stories from her cousins about how beautiful the castle was but she could never have tried to even imagine the castles beauty to as much detail as she saw right now. To her right sat Albus who was gripping her hand excitedly, she couldn't complain about how tight he was squeezing her hand since she was squeezing his back just as hard. She looked across Albus at the boat moving next to them and the smile fell from her face when she saw who was staring back. Scorpius Malfoy. The boy in question caught Rose's gaze and smirked at her before turning his back to her so he could climb out of the boat. Rose's jaw clenched, she couldn't stand the boy and yet they had only had one conversation on the train which didn't go well at all.

Rose sat in the compartment with her cousins James, Dominique, Albus and Lucy. She was sat with her back against the window and her legs stretched out over James' lap whether he liked it or not. They were all doing different things. Lucy was freaking out over where the sorting hat was going to put her while Dominique tried everything to try and calm the dark haired girl down. Albus was daydreaming and watching the country side whizz by out of the window, but both Rose and James knew that he was worrying about what house he would be sorted into himself. Rose and James on the other hand were just in a relaxed conversation about where in the school the secret passages were and what teachers to look out for.

"Okay so I can climb through the portrait and the passage will lead me straight to Hogsmeade? Perfect! I'll go next week" Rose said smiling at James who reached over and ruffled her hair.

"You're Gryffindor material Rosie" He told her confidently with a smirk before sinking back into the seat.

There was a knock on their compartment door before it slid open and a boy, a first year from the looks of him, was standing there. Rose stared at him for a minute to sink in what he looked like. He had messy blonde hair and grey eyes which could look silver in some light, on his thin lips was etched a permanent smirk which appeared when his eyes fell on Rose.

"I just came to introduce myself" He stated boldly, staring straight at Rose. "I mean as I am Scorpius Malfoy its obvious that when I'm in Hogwarts I'm going to steal quite a lot of popularity. So I was feeling nice and thought, maybe those Weasley's may need some as well since quite a few of them aren't going to make many friends"

"Excuse me?" Rose bit out, causing the tension in the air to become even worse.

"I'm just stating the obvious," Scorpius said very unapologetically and held his hands up. "But you see that was directed towards you, red" Scorpius smirked at Rose but then held his hand out to her. "Scorpius Malfoy, and you are?"

"Rose Weasley" Rose snapped.

"Ah yes my father warned me about you, you would definitely benefit from my friendship. I mean who would be friends with you? A book worm with hair that looks like you've just been electrocuted and buck teeth? With you and your Slytherin cousin over there" Scorpius began talking again and motioning over to Albus. "You're going to be the-"

Scorpius had been cut off in mid sentence because Rose had jumped up from her seat and slammed the compartment door in his face yelling at him to piss off. She had turned her back on him, since he was still standing at the door with a shocked expression on his face and took a deep breath before sitting back down and swinging her legs back over James' lap. James, Dominique, Lucy and Albus all gave her bewildered looks before James' face broke out into a massive grin and pulled Rose into a hug.

"This girl is definitely going to be in Gryffindor, I feel it in my bones!" James exclaimed with a laugh, hugging Rose closer to him.

Rose scoffed and got out of her own boat when it came to a stop and walked up and stood next to Albus an a dark haired boy who had introduced himself as Ryan Finnigan. She waited there tapping her foot excitedly as Neville came and introduced himself as Professor Longbottom and began explaining the houses to them before they were called in. She had smiled at Ryan when he was called up to be sorted and clapped along with Gryffindor when he was sorted and watched him sit next to a blonde boy who was like his double but with a different hair colour. She watched through slanted eyes as Scorpius was sorted. He had the balls to look her straight in the eyes and smirk at her when sorted into Slytherin. Albus eventually got called forward and Rose hugged him before he shakily walked up and sat on the stool. The hall was at a standstill while he was being sorted, when the hat screamed his choice of house, there was complete utter silence until Rose began clapping and soon the school joined in. Eventually Neville got to the W's and Lucy was called up, Rose gave her a comforting smile before watching the girl go up and get sorted into Slytherin with Albus. Rose didn't wait for Neville, she just walked up and sat on the stool, she didn't want there to be another silence. The hat was barely even touching her head before it yelled out.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Rose smiled gratefully and made her way over to Gryffindor who were all cheering and clapping over the fact that another Weasley had made their way into Gryffindor. She sat down next to James who clapped her on the back and introduced her to the people around them. She smiled and nodded when James motioned to another person but then began staring down at her plate, waiting for the feast to begin.

"Oh Rosie, you had a huge bag full of sweets on the train!" Dominique exclaimed. "How are you still hungry!"

"She got Uncle Ron's stomach according to Aunt Mione" James laughed before looking at the blonde boy sitting opposite him. "You're going to get along fine with her Seb"

"Huh?" Rose looked up at James who was talking to Ryan's brother.

"Sebastian Finnigan" the blonde boy introduced, holding his hand out over the table.

"Rose Weasley" Rose replied, fighting back a blush when shaking his hand and smiled at him.
