A/N: Way for me to wait forever to write these. This is for the Fifteen Colours Competition and the Major points in a Relationship Compeition.
Scarlet – First Meeting
Young Scorpius Malfoy climbed onto the train with the large scarlet steam engine. The blond boy turned and waved to his parents before disappearing down the small corridor between the compartments. Scorpius searched but he couldn't find an empty compartment so he slid open the glass door to a compartment where, a small red-head sat alone reading the Daily Prophet. Scorpius put his trunk onto the luggage rack before closing the door and taking the seat across from the red-head. He sat, quietly, waiting for his companion to notice him.
After a few minutes she closed the newspaper and looked at him with bright amber eyes. "It's more polite to ask if you can join someone rather than just coming and waiting for them to say something to you." She smiled as she sat the paper down. "I'm Molly Weasley."
Scorpius nodded. "I'm Scorpius Malfoy. I'm sorry I didn't want to interrupt your reading."
The girl nodded, "It's quite alright. I would have told you yes anyway… It's a long ride who wants to sit alone." She tucked some auburn curls behind her ear.
"Are you a first year too?" Scorpius asked. He hoped she was, it would be nice to know one person before he reached the castle.
"Yes." she smiled excitedly as she folded her hands over her lap and leaned closer to him, "are you excited?"
"Very." He replied honestly. "What house do you think you will be in?" he asked.
"I don't know. I guess I could end up in any. My mother was in Ravenclaw and my father was in Gryffindor. So it's likely I will end up in one of those houses." The red-head shrugged her slender shoulders. "What about you, what house do you think you will be in?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "My mom was in Ravenclaw. My dad was in Slytherin. I think I would rather be in Ravenclaw."
"Why wouldn't you like being in Slytherin?" Molly questioned.
"You have to sleep in the dungeons. I think that sounds bloody depressing don't you?" Scorpius smiled when the red=head laughed. She seemed so friendly. Could he be lucky enough to have made a friend already?
Scorpius watched Molly, who was seated at the table for her new house, her fingers crossed and her amber eyes shut tightly waiting for the sorting hat's decision. Scorpius shifted nervously on the stool and closed his blue eyes; he hated the thought of everyone staring at him. Proffesor Longbottom dropped the old beat up hat on his head and he heard a deep voice.
A Malfoy I see, your entire family has been in Slytherin, but I see something different in you. You don't want to be in Slytherin, do you?
"No, I don't" Scorpius thought over and over, hoping the sorting hat would hear his plea.
No, not Slytherin, I think it better be….. RAVENCLAW.
Scorpius opened his eyes as the hat was lifted off of his head. He quickly rose, ran down to the Ravenclaw table and sat down beside his new firend, Molly.
A/N: So how bad was it, haha. I've never written next-gen. This was my first attempt.
This was for the Minor characters Boot Camp with the prompt: Acknowledge. And for the Pick Your Own prompts Challenge with the prompts Scarlet, Dungeons and Friendly. It was also for the colors competition… with the color red and the Major Points in a Relationship Completion for First Meeting.
