Welcome to the world inside my head.
Anything recognizable belongs to our queen JKR.

After her da tells her to make sure to beat Scorpius Malfoy in every class, her mum squeezes her hand and gives her an additional blessing.
"Remember that brains are not everything. I wish I had learned this earlier. Remember to judge a person not by their last name but by their actions, and above all, be kind."
Rose hugs her mum and then her da one more time, then sprints off to join her cousins on the Hogwarts Express.
One brilliant train ride filled with Scottish landscapes, pumpkin pasties, and chocolate frogs later, Rose and the rest of the first years tumble out of the train, into the little self-guided boats, and encounter the Sorting Hat.
She's sorted into Ravenclaw, and he goes to Slytherin. Her father has no reason to worry for now: Ravenclaw and Slytherin have no double classes, and he mainly keeps to himself and his close friends, and thus Rose doesn't interact with Scorpius. Thanks to her mother's positive influence, Rose stays at the top of her class, and even manages to make friends outside of the Weasley clan.
