Chapter 1- Rose
I sat in the carriage, staring at Hugo. He was positively trembling with excitement. Honestly, he was just making a fool of himself. Being so excited to get to school! It was pathetic.
He had got up at three in the morning that day, and he woke me up by jumping around.
"I'm going to Hogwarts! I'm going to Hogwarts! I'm finally going to learn to do magic!" he yelled, until I threw his Transfiguration textbook at him.
Even then, he insisted on arriving at Kings Cross twenty minutes early. The Potters hadn't even arrived yet!
Eventually Lily and James walked in. Hugo and Lily sat together, both buzzing.
James gave a smile that most of the sixth year girls found 'hot'.
"Where's Scorpius?" I asked.
"Why?" Lily rebutted my question with a question.
"Um, because he is the same age to me! I was wondering about out OWLS and-"
Lily went back into her argument with Hugo.
"I'm not saying you WON'T be in Gryffindor, I'm just saying that if you WERE to be in Ravenclaw it wouldn't be so bad!"
"No! I am going to be a Gryffindor, like my parents!"
I tuned out. My brother had an unhealthy obsession to be just like our parents. Unfortunately, there were no Dark Lords or whatever left to destroy.
I sat for a while, watching James read a textbook. What a know-it-all!
Soon the man from the sweet trolley rolled up.
"D'youwantanyhing?" He asked, and I shook my head.
"Me please!" Hugo said, and gave him a sickle for sweets. The last thing Hugo needed was sugar.
"Thank you, Mr Goyle," James smiled, and the tall man left.
I picked up my trunk and left to get changed into my robes. When I walked back into the carriage, Scorpius was there.
"Hullo, Rose."
"Hi, Scorpius. How are-"
"What is THAT?!" I was interrupted by Hugo pointing at me with a look of horror on his face.
"It's a tie, Hugo, you'll be getting one too."
"But- but- but it's- it's not Gryffindor!"
I sighed. Somehow my parents had forgotten to mention to him that I wasn't Gryffindor.
"No, Hugo, it's not. It's Hufflepuff."
"What the hell is a Hufflepuff?!"
