Hello, everybody! Well, since it is almost Harry's birthday, and the movie just premiered last weekend, I am writing about the next generation! It's Rose, Lacey (daughter of Neville and Luna, made up), and Albus's first year! My story will follow their first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and a new friend, Scorpius Malfoy! Enjoy, and I hope that this is okay! My first Harry Potter fic! Well, on with the story!
I walked onto the Hogwarts Express, excited for the new school year. I couldn't believe that I was finally going to Hogwarts! Wandering around, I looked for an empty compartment, which I found suprisingly quickly. Sitting down on the train, I rummaged in my trunk for a book before putting it away. Opening the book, I was lost in my favourite Muggle novel, Of Mice and Men. Suddenly, after barely finishing a sentence, I heard a person walk in.
"Hi, Rose!" I looked up, only to meet the eyes of my best friend, Lacey.
"Lacey!" Standing up, I gave my friend a sisterly hug. "How are you?"
We sat down across from each other. "Excited! I can't-"
Lacey's sentance was interrupted by two other first-years walking into the compartment. "Al!"
"Hello, Rose," Albus said, and then went back to muttering 'Not Slytherin!'
I didn't recognize the second boy. "Hi!" I said to him. "I'm Rose."
"Hey," The boy said, not looking up. "I'm Scorpius."
"Nice to meet you!" At that, Scorpius sat down next to the window, staring out of it.
"So, Lacey, what House do you want to be in?"
"Um, I guess that Hufflepuff would be cool, but I would like to be in Ravenclaw, most of all. By the way, Quibbler?" Lacey offered the newspaper that her mother run.
"Sure." I took the paper. "I want to be in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. How about you, Albus?"
"Not Slytherin!" He practically screamed.
"Okay, okay, we've heard it a billion bloody times!" Scorpius answered him.
"Well, Scorpius, what house do you want?" Lacey asked him.
"Um, well, I guess that I don't want Slytherin either. Too many rumors about it being for Dark Wizards. I think that Ravenclaw would be nice, but I don't really know. Mum doesn't think I have to worry about being in Slytherin. Apparently, I'm "too nice.""
"Well, that's not nessecarily a bad thing." I said. "Being in Slytherin. I mean, Severus Snape was in Slytherin."
"But so was Lord Voldermort." Albus answered.
"Thank you, Captian Obvious." Scorpius replied.
It was bad that the four of us were going to the same school. I couldn't even imagine being in the same House as my best friend, cousin, and, well, what was Scorpius? An enemy? Friend? Rival? I suppose this year we will find out.
A/N: And scene! How was that? A boring chapter, I know, but it was nessecary. Please click the blue "Review" button and tell me! I promise that there will be some Rose/Scorpius later! Updates will be every other day, or as often as possible. Since it is the middle of summer, it might take me into the school year, if it ends up being longer than I anticipate. See you soon, and don't forget to send your e-mail address in for Pottermore! Can't wait!
