Hey guys! This is my first fanfic and I really hope you like it! If you do, you could check out my profile. If you PM me I'd like to get to know you more. Please review on my writing, I need all the help I could get. :) -Andrew
I always heard about that Weasley girl, Rose, from my father. He told me to make friends with other houses, just not the Weasleys and the Potters. I asked him why, and he said that they had some bad history. I understood, even at such a young page. Some people even cast us dark looks, muttering 'Voldemort'. I hate it.
When I arrived in platform 9 3/4, i saw her. Silver met sky. I immediately shivered. She was beautiful-there was no other way to describe her. Wavy, smooth red hair, unlike her mother, and light blue eyes. Freckles ran across her nose neatly, and her ears were tinged red as she turned away from me. My heart sank.
Her father glared at me. My father told me about the other houses, saying something about which house to be in. His voice vaguely drilled into my ears. I didn't say anything, but I knew I'd prefer to be with that Weasley girl.
After a few hugs and kisses, mostly from mum, I was ready to climb on board the train. I waved to her and my father from the window. My father had told me his story, and he kept reminding me "Don't make the same mistake I did,". He often got that faraway look, and I couldn't help but wonder how many mistakes he had made.
I searched for the compartment with Rose Weasley. I finally found it, but she was surrounded by her cousins and some family friends I recognized as the Longbottoms. Her cousin, James, I think, glowered at me and made a shooing gesture. I walked on.
I finally found a not-so-empty compartment with two second year Ravenclaws. "May I join you?" I asked tentatively. They hesitated evidently, obviously knowing me as the Death Eater Malfoy's son, whose father had helped kill the great Albus Dumbledore. I wanted to explain to them that it was a mistake, that he was forced to do it. Eventually, they nodded.
I slipped in and we started a conversation about how to aim to be prefects, and of course, Head Boys and Girls. I learned that the boys name was Harold Gardner, and the girl's Yanna Ferell. They were best friends, but I suspected that Harold wanted to get closer to Yanna. Way closer. I was amused at how they argued and made up again soon. They were like siblings, which pretty much sucks for Harold.
A few hours of Exploding Snap, jokes and stories, the train stopped. I glanced out and gasped. A magnificent castle stood over a dark, murky lake. I've seen some pictures in Hogwarts: A History, but this was breathtaking. Harold thumped me in the back. "Cool, isn't it?"
I nodded meekly. More than cool, definitely. I wondered if this compared to the sight of Rose Weasley.
Okay! That was quite short, but I hope you liked it! R&R please! Next chapter coming up...
