Don't own anything, trust me if i was JK Roling i wouldn't be posting this on FAN fiction would i?
Scorpius Malfoy stood on platform 9 ¾ with his father and mother holding hands behind him. He looked at the Weasley / Potter family group, a sea of red and brown hair, they looked so happy. He saw the admiration and excitement of the people around him when they looked at the family and he saw the scowls and glares that were being shot at his family from all around, he had even seen the "golden trio" looking at him but only the red headed one wore a scowl.
Scorpius sighed, he hated the reputation of his family, he hated that his last name was Malfoy everything about it screamed "death eater!" and dark wizards". This was a mindset that he was determined to change. He would show them all that Malfoy's could be good too. This was going to be hard, he knew that, he knew what his father and grandparents had done but maybe, just maybe if he was good, and nice and kind and hardworking and good at his work people would start to see him as more than just some death eater Malfoy.
The train was leaving in mere seconds but he didn't move, his mother Astoria gave him a little push and laughed "Go on Scorpius, get on the train. We love you". So with a heavy heart Scorpius boarded the train.
He wasn't looking where he was going and opened the door of the first compartment he came to. He ignored the people in it, not looking at them and pushed his trunk under his seat. All too late he looked up and saw five Weasley / Potters staring at him.
"Oh, s-sorry, ev-everywhere else is f-full. . ."Scorpius trailed off and looked at eth ground, blushing fiercely.
The youngest boy who Scorpius knew to be Albus Potter was the first to recover as he stuck his hand out saying "Hi, I'm Albus what's your name?"
Before Scorpius could open his mouth to reply or shake Albus's hand the other Potter boy who Scorpius was pretty sure was called James cut in "Don't be ridiculous Albus, you know he's a Malfoy". The youngest girl who had flaming red hair (Scorpius assumed she was Hermione Granger and Ron Weasleys daughter) glared at James and smiled in a somewhat fake way at Scorpius.
She's trying so hard to be nice, but she can't get past the fact that I'm a Malfoy. Scorpius thought bitterly. Here's my first chance to be nice, prove them wrong. He bit back his angry retort that had something to do with just because your Harry Potter's son doesn't cancel out that fact that your dear Weasley cousins are all blood traitors and your aunt a mud blood. Instead he took a calming breath and shook Albus's still outstretched hand.
"I'm Scorpius, good to meet you" he said in a rush and like Albus had not given his last name just his first name as neither wished be judged by who their parents or family where which was somewhat silly because both knew exactly who the other was .
Albus turned and looked pointedly at the others silently willing them to be friendly too. The smallest girl with the red hair stuck out her hand.
"I'm Rose, Rose Weasley" she said. Scorpius shook her hand but did not miss the emphasise she had placed on her last name, it had not been an insult or anything nasty, she had just been making sure he knew what he was getting himself into.
The other two people in the compartment where undoubtedly more Weasley cousins though he had no idea who they were related to. They looked very alike probably twins he thought. Then it hit him the girl and the boy who had been silent up until now must be George Weasleys kids. Bet they hate me, my family and their crew caused a lot of pain for their dad. Sure enough the twins stood up and left the compartment without a word and just as Scorpius was about to breathe a sigh of relief the boy turned and spat,
"You'll soon find, Albus that some wizarding families are better than others"
"You don't want to go making friends with the wrong ones" his sister added with a wicked smirk.
Scorpius just sat there, stunned. They had just used his father's insult against him. He almost laughed at the irony.
"Sorry about them" said Albus "their dad isn't the biggest fan of your family".
"With good reason" Scorpius sighed "they're right you know, you two ought to hate me, my family and their death eater pals were trying to kill all of your parents, they were the ones hunting Harry Potter and yours were the ones protecting him, he's your dad even!" Scorpius exclaimed.
"So" Rose replied hotly "that was our parents and your dad and grandparents not us, not you".
"Well said cuz" Albus laughed happily and Rose joined in.
"Do you like Quidditch?" Rose asked suddenly.
"YES!" Scorpius shrieked.
Albus and Rose high fived and Scorpius smiled broadly. I think I have made some friends. He thought happily. Extremely unlikely friends, but still friends.
