DISCLAIMER: anything that you recognise in this fanfic belongs to the amazing J.K Rowling... not me.
A/N: hellooo! I just thought of this random little fic when I was watching the first movie and repairing my first book. I thought about how in the movie the sorting hat says that he knows exactly where to put Ron because he's a Weasley... but what if Rose was different and she wasn't like the other Weasleys?
Anyway, that's just what was going through my head... I must thank Ema for beta-ing this for me and thinking of a title!

"Al... I'm scared," Rose whispered to Albus as they followed Professor Longbottom through the Great Hall for the sorting ceremony for their first year at Hogwarts.
"Don't worry... You'll be fine..." He whispered back as 'Anderson, Blair' was sorted into Hufflepuff.
"But Al, what if I am sorted into Slytherin?" She whispered with wide eyes.
"Then I will still love you... and everyone else will too." He replied, them both knowing that the conversation was closed.
"Baker, Lucy." – "RAVENCLAW!"
"Carrell, Darcy." - "HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Edwards, Joseph." – "GRYFFINDOR!"
"Gregson, Hailey." – "SLYTHERIN!"
"Malfoy, Scorpius." was called and Rose gulped,
'dad told me about him... and how I should stay away from him.' Rose thought.
– "SLYTHERIN!"
Rose shuffled anxiously on her feet, 'its ok... relax...' she thought to herself.
"Good luck Al," she whispered before, "Potter, Albus" was called.
Albus walked up to the stool and sat down, a nervous look showed on his face, "GRYFFINDOR!" The Sorting Hat cried, Albus sighed, hopped off of the stool and sat with the rest of his family at the Gryffindor table.
"Preston, James." – "RAVENCLAW!"
"Russell, Bruce." – "GRYFFINDOR!"
"Smith, Jim." – "HUFFLEPUFF!"
"Thomas, Harley." – "SLYTHERIN!"
Rose gulped as Neville said, "Weasley, Rose," and she slowly walked up the few stairs and sat on the stool. He placed the hat on her head.
AH! Another Weasley, But with a very good mind... cunning I see... Talent, that's definitely there. Where should I put you?
"With Albus..." Rose whispered.
Albus? I'm not sure you can be with him... you need more friends outside of your family I think...
Maybe with those brains you could go into Ravenclaw... but, I must say I've never put a Weasley here before, but it seems you may belong, you're destiny belongs in...
"SLYTHERIN!" The Sorting Hat yelled and Rose slowly hopped off of the stool as the hat was taken off of her head. Whispers broke out all over the hall- a Weasley had never been in Slytherin before!
She stumbled slowly to the other side of the hall than most of her family (apart from those select few who were sorted into Ravenclaw) and sat down at the Slytherin table, quite scared.
What would her family think? Would they care that she was different?
A boy with blue eyes, pale (ish) skin and blonde hair was next to her. He stuck out his hand, "Hi, I'm Scorpius Malfoy," He introduced himself,smiling.
"Rose Weasley," she replied, shaking his hand.
Maybe being in Slytherin wouldn't be so bad after all.
