Albus waved to his parents till they were out of view. "C'mon, let's find a compartment before we get stuck with some older students." He said to Rose who nodded and started to walk down the aisle looking for a compartment.
It was a while later before they found one. It was occupied by a girl with dark red hair and sweet blue eyes. "Hey, do you mind if we sit here?" Albus asked the red-head who nodded politely. "I'm Albus Potter and this is my cousin Rose Weasley."
"I am capable of introducing myself Albus." Rose said to him with flashing eyes. Albus rolled his eyes at his cousin. Typical Rose and her pride.
"I'm Leslie Morgan." Said the red-head shyly, her blue eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Nice to meet you Leslie. So, know what house you're going to be in?" Albus asked, trying to make conversation. Leslie looked at him with a blank expression.
"Are you muggle-born?" Rose asked politely. Leslie nodded.
"Really! My mom's one too" Rose started when an elderly woman stopped in front of their compartment.
"Anything of the trolley dears?" she asked the three kids. Albus jumped and started buying pocketfuls of sweets. Rose shook her head, "You're going to spoil your dinner you know."
Albus shook his head and with his mouth full of b=cauldron cakes he said, "No I'm not. Want some Leslie?"
"Uh, sure." She said picking up a chocolate frog. "They're not really frogs are they?" she asked nervously. Rose laughed, "No their not. Besides, it's the card you want." Leslie relaxed. They were having a great time; Albus found out that Leslie was just like aunt Hermione. She had memorised all the course by heart and the only other person he knew who had read Hogwarts A History. Rose liked Leslie a lot.
"I hope you're in the same house I'm in."Rose said to Leslie cheerfully. "Me too." Albus piped in. Leslie beamed with pleasure. Having Rose and Albus-Al he told her to call him- had made the what might of been a miserable train ride, enjoyful. Then, a boy with blond hair joined them, it was Scorpius Malfoy. He looked regretted because of entering the compartment but he composed himself quickly.
"Can I sit here?" he asked, as if he didn't care whether they said yes or not. Rose was about to protest when Albus cut her, "sure, why not."
"I'm Scorpius Malfoy." He said to Leslie. He knew he didn't have to explain to Potter and Weasley, he had a feeling they knew him already. "Nice to meet you."
"You too." Leslie said back. It was obvious to her that this boy was not liked by Rose. So she tried steering the conversation back to houses. "So, what house do you want to be in?" she asked Rose who was busy glaring at Scorpius.
"Easy, Gryffindor of course, what else." Rose answered quickly.
"How about you Al?" Albus told her the same thing.
"Scorpius?" she asked. The pale boy looked uncertain before answering "Gryffindor."
Albus and Rose stared at him. Scorpius felt the heat rising up his neck. He stared back at the defiantly.
"Oh, cool. Me too." Leslie said oblivious to the stares Scorpius was getting from her friends. Just then James walked in the room with his two best friends, Fred Weasley and Alice Longbottom.
"Hey little brother of mine." He started before glaring at Malfoy. "What are you doing here." He said harshly. Scorpius blushed with angered. Everyone was judging by his father, and he hated that. Albus saw and defended him.
"He's here because he's my friend. Got a problem, brother?" Albus retorted to his brother. James looked at Albus in shocked, so did everyone else.
"No, not at all. Well, just so you know, you better get change. We'll be arriving soon." James replied coolly before leaving the compartment.
"Thanks." Scorpius said as they were changing into their robes.
"No problem, I meant it by the way. If you want, we can be friends. We'll show them. Potter's and Malfoy's can be friends."Albus said to Scorpius who grinned.
"Hogwarts won't know what'll whit them." Scorpius said and Albus couldn't help to grinned back at him.
