Rose pov:

I don't know what happened but it all ended up with me, my brother, Hugo, and my mum waiting for my dad at the door so we could get to the train station early. The reason for this is because I'm starting Hogwarts this year with my cousin, Albus Potter, whose older brother, James already started Hogwarts last year.

"Mum I think I know why it's taking dad so long," I spoke really loudly so my dad would hear from up stairs.

"Oh really Rose why do you think you know what taking your dad so long?" my mum asked me with a loud voice as well getting my idea.

"Well maybe he doesn't want to run in to the Malfoys and go on to the platform with Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny that's all," I responded. It was all took to get my dad rushing right down the stairs.
"Well it took you long enough Ron," my mum scolded but my brother and I heard them do it for long enough to actually ignore them until they stopped.

"I don't see your problem Hermione," he said, "Besides we're way too early why can't we go a little later?"


Once we got there we didn't have to wait long before James Sirius Potter came on to the platform with Albus Severus Potter and Uncle Harry following him and last Lily Luna Potter came on to the platform with Aunt Ginny right after them.

"Meet you on the train Rose," James called over his shoulder as he climbed on to the train.

"So that's little Scorpius beat him in every test Rosie," dad said while looking over at the Malfoy family, "Thank god you inherited your mother's brains."

"Don't turn them against each other Ron they haven't even started school yet and your turning the against each other," Aunt Ginny scolded.

"I'm sorry Ginny but I'm pretty sure that I'm older than you."

"You are acting childish Ronald Weasley. Oh get on the train children or you'll miss it and I'll deal with Ron later."

"Bye mum, bye dad, bye Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny!" I called out as the train started to move. Soon the platform disappeared from view and James popped his head in to the compartment that Albus and I were in.

"Hey you're in my compartment I claimed it last year so clear out," he joked, "well get out before I call my friends to come and help me kick you out.

"Yeah right James you are not getting us out of this compartment that easily," I shot back teasingly.

"Well this is the compartment my friend claimed for me just let me get them and I ll introduce you," he said over his shoulder as he left. Moments later he returned with two people, "This is Lorcan and his twin Lysander Scamander but Lorcan is a nerd so beware," Jame said gesturing to the boys behind him as he spoke, "Guys this is my brother Albus and cousin Rose."

"Nice to meet you both," they said at the same time which was cool and weird at the same time since one of them can start and the other can finish. Well I only know that because my Uncle George used to do that with Uncle Fred, "may we come in?" Lysander asked.

Albus and I nodded because we were transfixed with the view out side of the window but then forgot about the view when the James, Lysander, and Lorcan jabbed us in the shoulder sharply.

"What is it?" I snapped looking over to the door, "Oh hello."

"Come in Erica ignore Rose's rudeness she's just being annoying," James said motioning Erica to come in, "we have room to spare."

"How do you know her name?" Albus asked.

"Lysander told me about her last year."

Here sit between your brother and me," I told her as she placed her trunk on to the rack, "please your brother is squishing me in to the wall."

Albus, Erica, and I teamed up to beat James, Lysander, and Lorcan in chess when a pale blond boy opened the compartment door and all six of us looked up at him then we put our attention back to the game in front of us.

"Well why don't you leave already Malfoy like your presence is going to make us actually look at you," I said as I commanded a pawn to move forward taking one of James's.

"Well another Potter to deal with isn't one enough and who's the Weasley?" Scorpius mocked and then questioned.

"She is right just get out before my friends and I actually kick you out," James spoke as he looked up, "I don't even care if you are a pureblood to begin with because I'm a second year you know."

I stood up to grab my sweater from my trunk when Erica stood up as well and we both grabbed our sweater which happened to be a Brown and Patil designer ones.

"You have the same one as I do! she exclaimed, "But you stitched something into your collar what is it?"

"It's just my name see," I showed her that I stitched my name with roses around it on the collar of my sweater. Well it did make sense since my name is Rose so there should be roses around my name.

"How pretty can you do that for mines?"

"Sure but what colors do you want your name to be in and what do you want me to sew around your name?"

"Just my name is enough thank you. And can you do it in blue like yours?"

"Of course." I turned around to sit down and Malfoy was still standing actually leaning in the doorway so I looked over at Erica and noticed that she see saw him too so I'm not seeing things that's good to know so I sat down hoping he would leave already. We continued to play chess but then were interrupted again by another person.

"Who are you staring at, Scorpius?" he asked.

"Hm oh no one Drake," Scorpius answered quickly it seems that he was speaking more to himself than Drake, "Let's go."

I'm glad he left but he was staring and one of you girls so who was it?" James asked.

"You're too nosey for your own good James," Erica snapped before I could say a thing. That shut him up and the Lysander burst out laughing and he laughed so hard that he fell on the floor still roaring with laughter.

"Shut up Lysander don't make me!" James threatened. Lysander managed to stop before James lost his temper and suggested we change into our robes since the last war the Headmaster/Headmistress went lack on the uniform rules but said no make-up. Well I didn't mind and from what James told us over the summer (by us I mean he told Albus who told me) that they got rid of the House tables and only bring them out on special occasions since the second wizarding war.

I pulled Erica aside, "How did you you know that Scorpius was staring at me?" I asked her quietly so no one else would hear but her.

"Well James was right he was staring at one of use and his gaze didn't leave you once because I know when I'm being stared at even the boys would know," was her reply before she pulled me into our compartment.

Scorpius POV:

I known I should have left but it's that Weasley girl that caught my attention. I probably stood there for five minutes before my friend, Drake Warrington, came by and he had to ask, "who are you staring at Scorpius?"

"Hm oh no one Drake," I answered quickly because the blond girl looked up, Let's go. We walked away before that blonde can figure out where I was staring and I couldn't tell Drake or he'll tell my parents. Oh Gods this is going to be a tough year.

"What are you thinking about now Scorpius?" Drake asked. He had to ask at a time like this.

"You're to nosey for your own good," I snapped back but little did I know Erica had said the same thing at the exact moment. Like I thought before this is going to be a tough year for me.

"Will you ever stop following me?" I asked as we sat down in our compartment.

"Hm...No."


Soon the train pulled up near a town called Hogsmeade.

Even though I managed to give Drake the slip after we got off the train he still found me right when I was trying to find Rose again but I knew that he was going to call her a blood traitor like how my father called her father which is probably why she hates me.

"Hey go why don't you find Fey and see if she has a boat yet?" I asked Drake in order to find Rose without him calling her a blood traitor and making her hate me even more.

"Yeah sure," Drake responded before he left.

Finally I thought as I continued to look before I found her sitting in a boat with Potter and Scamander so I sat down right when Drake reappeared.

"Why are you sitting with the blood traitors, Scorpius?"

"I have to agree with your friend there Malfoy," Rose snapped actually agreeing with Drake but I detected something in her voice but what was it?

Rose Pov:

Well Malfoy decided to sit with us is just plain weird and oh great now his sidekick Warrington's here.

"Why are you sitting with the blood traitors, Scorpius?"

"I have to agree with your friend there Malfoy," I snapped with sarcasm that colored my voice but he kept staring at me.
