Rose looked at her mother from behind all the boxes. "Must we get all
these, just for Hogwarts?"
"Yes. They are important. Now remember. When you get on the train,
find Draco and."
"And stay with him until I am sorted. I know mother."
"Good. Write to me and keep me updated."
Rose headed off to the train. Along the way she accidentally ran into
someone. It was a boy with red hair and freckles.
"Oops.sorry." Rose helped the boy up. "Are you okay?"
"Yea I'm fine. Thanks. You're new aren't you? I'm Ron, Ron Weasly."
"I'm Rose, Rose Matalica. Please to meet you." She help Ron pick up
his things and they walked to the train.
"I've never had to ride a train to school before." Rose looked at the
huge train.
"Don't worry. It's not so bad once you get used to it." Ron smiled
at Rose. Ron looked ahead of him and waived to two people ahead of them.
One was a boy with dark hair and glasses. The other was a girl with
strawberry blond hair and brown eyes. Both were wearing Hogwarts school
outfits. Ron motioned them over. The girl headed into the train and the
boy walked over.
"Hey Ron. Who's your new friend?"
"This is Rose Matalica. Rose, this is Harry Potter."
Rose's eyes went wide at Harry's name. "THE Harry Potter? The boy who
lived?"
"Yea." Harry's eyes drifted downward.
"Sorry." Rose looked behind Ron and saw a boy with blond hair looked
around. "Oh! Got to go! I'll see you at school?" Rose ran over to the
boy.
"Rose? Why were you talking to Weasly and Potter over there?"
"Draco-chan! I just ran into him and I helped him back up. That's
all. I was just being nice."
"Alright, let's go!" Draco led Rose onto the train. Harry and Ron
watched.
"Why did Rose go with Draco Malfoy?" Harry wondered.
"Maybe she knows him.?" Ron sighed and they headed onto the train.
