Chapter One:
Rose stood in a sea of people all scrambling to find friends and say goodbye to family on plateform 9 3/4. The only time that all four houses would ever be seen together in such a large number. And then there stood Rose, not yet part of any of them, and yet some how she was.
At 12 she was just like her mother, except for her unrooly red hair. The hair that made her known to everyone as a Weasley. Not that anyone did not know who she was, after all when your a child of "The Golden Trio" your name is always out there.
"Rose!" Called a voice over the crowd.
She turned to see her mother making her way back towards her, "The train is getting ready to leave, come we have to find out a seat."
Rose took her mother's hand as they snaked their way through the crowd towards where her family had gathered, to say goodbye to her and Albus.
James was nowhere to be seen, most likely already on the train with his friends causing trouble like his namesake had 50 years earlier.
a shoulder bumped into Rose's and she lost her hold on her bag, and it tumbled to the ground spilling its contents on the plateform.
"Shoot." Rose growned and knelt down to retreive her belongings.
Another set of hands appeared infront of her followed by a voice, "I am so sorry, I should have been watching were i was going."
"No its my fault." She answered taking the books from the hands of the boy standing infront of her.
She looked up for the first time, at the boy who had helped her. Hw was about a foot taller then her, with bleach white hair and pale grey eyes.
"I'm Scorpius." He said sticking out his hand, "And judging by the red hair, i would bet you a Weasley?"
"You are correct." Rose said taking his hand, "I'm Rose, but most people call me Rosie."
"It was nice to meet you. See you at school?" He asked.
Rose nodded and watched as Scorpius walked away, before she turned to find her family.
He father was looking past her, "So that's young Scorpius. You best beat him at everything Rosie."
"Ron do not make them enemies before they even start school." Hermione scolded her husband before turning to her daughter, "Now you have everything right? Jumper, Books, Money for food on the train?"
"Yes i have everything. And i promise to write to you before the end of the week to tell you how things are going." Rose replied rolling her eyes. He parents were always like this, being cousious and over protective.
Her mother took her into her arms and gave her a tight hug, "Have fun, and learn lots."
Rose nodded and turned to her father, Who have her a hug, "Remember if your not in Gryffindor, your disowned."
"Ronald!" Hermione growled.
Ron let out a laughed and kissed her forhead, "Be safe."
Rose nodded and turned towards the train that would take her to her new home for the next 7 years.
A hand slid in hers, and she looked to see Albus sanding next to her with a smile on his face, and together they took their first steps towards their new lives.
They found an empty carriage towards the back of the train away from all the whispers and the prying eyes.
"So what house do you think you will be sorted into?" Albus asked as she throw his bag on the seat next to him.
"Gryffindor most likely, every Weasley ever as been in that house." Rose said pulling a book out of her bag, "What about you?"
"Well my dad told me something right before we got on the train, he said that I was named after to headmaster's of Hogwartz and one was a Slytherine, and that even if i was sorted into Slytherine he would still be proud of me. So i guess what ever house i am sorted into is fine." Albus replied. "Are you really going to read that thing again, have you not read it like 2 times already?"
"This will be the 4th and I like it." Rose said opening he book "A Hogwartz, A History" to the first page, "Plus its a requirement for first years to read it."
Before Albus could make a sarcastic remark there was a knock on the campartment door, and Scorpius poked his head in.
"Do you mind if i sit with you, everywhere else is full." Scorpius asked.
Albus looked him over, and gave Rose a look before nodding his head in approval.
Scorpius took a seat next to Rose and crossed his legs.
"Sooo are you hoping to get sorted into Slytherine like all Malfoy and purebloods." Albus asked crossing his arms.
"Malfoy is just a name, like any other name to me. Which means i am just like any other person. I do not wish to take after my family. I acually think it would be nice to be sorted into any other house besided Slytherine." Scorpious replied calmly.
"Your the first." Albus replied, "Names Albus Potter, I can see us going places." He said with a smerk.
The ride to the castle when smoothly, Albus and Scorpius discussed some pranks and tricks they were going to pull once at school, while Rose sat reading her book.
It was just getting dark when they reached the plateform that stood in the shadow of Hogwartz, and as hundreds of students filed out of the train and took their repected routes to the castle, the first years lingered behind waiting for a curtain dark haired giant to take them across the black lake.
Rose, Albus, and Scorpius all stood together as people began to whisper around them and stare.
"Alright first years, follow me to the boat." Boomed a voice from infront of them.
As they slowly made their way towards the Castle, across the calm and quiet lake. Laughed and excitment could be heard from all the first years except Albus, Rose, and Scorpius who all remained quiet waiting for the moment when they would be sorted into their future houses. Each hoping that their families legacy would not set them apart from others.
The castle was quiet when they arrive, no doubt because all the other students and teacher where already in the Great Hall awaiting their arrival.
"Alright gather round." Hagrid called as they arrived at the enterance to the Great Hall, "Once you pass through these door you will be sorted into your houses. They are Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Syltherine, and Gyffindor. Your house is like your family, do good and you will earn house points, however if you misbehave, or fall out of line your house will loose points. Now with that being said welcome to Hogwartz." And as the final words left his mouth the doors to the Great Hall opened and they were ushered in.
Rose looked to the sky, and just like her mother told her, the ceiling looked like a stary nightsky decorated with hundreds of floating candles.
A single stoole stood out on the podium and apon it sat the sorting hat. The first years gathered at the front of the hall.
"When I call your name please step forward to get sorted.
LongBottom, Abby... Hufflepuff!
Johnson, Alexander... Gryffindor!
"Potter, Albus." Albus slowly made his way towards the sorting hat, and sat down.
"Ahhhh another Potter, I see you are just like your father in everyway... Brave... and smart like your mother too... Well this is very difficult... i guess there is only one place to put you..."
"GRYFFINDOR!" The sorting hat called out.
A roar of appluse came from the Gryffindor table, as Albus made his way to sit with his brother and cousin's
"Malfoy, Scorpius." Hagrid called
Scorpius stood still until Rose gave him a nudge, and he made his way to the podium.
"Well a Malfoy, i know just were to put you... But wait what's this i see, your cunning and brave, as well as loyal. Not traits that i usually see in a Malfoy, still no reason to break tradition..."
"SLYTHERINE!
Scorpius nodded and slowly made his way to the slytherine table.
More names were called until finally only Rose was left standing.
"Weasley, Rose."
With her head held high, she walked with pride up to the podium to be sorted.
"Rose Weasley, so much like a Weasley, yet so not. Gryffindor would make a fine place for you..."
"I am not my mother... Nor do i act like my father. I am just Rose." Rose replied in her head to the sorting hat.
"Yes in deed... well it seem in your case that tradition need to be broken... tell me child do you not wish to be with your family?"
"I wish to show the world that i am not simply following in my families footsteps, but creating my own." Rose stated.
"Very well then..."
"SLYTHERINE!"
