CHAPTER 1
A wall of heat and noise seemed to slam against me as I passed through the wall to enter platform 9 and three quarters. I looked around to see little first years looking all teary as they clutched their parent's overcoats hoping to somehow prolong their departure. I wrinkled my nose in distaste at a little boy who was crying and basically making a big fuss, I mean there was a boy whom we all know wouldn't end up in Slytherin. It was true that blood purity did not matter as much as it used to in my parent's time, but even now in the great house of Salazar we did continue the tradition and respect blood status, and I had the full intention of reminding the entire school about Slytherin's greatness now that I was Head Girl and all.
There was no doubt about it, I was the smartest as well as the prettiest girl in school, especially after those Veela cousins all graduated from school last year. Long, shiny blonde hair, cornflower blue eyes, porcelain skin all coupled with a straight 'O' average, I truly represented the best the noble house of Rosier had to offer. My train of thought was interrupted by my chauffeur when he told me that I better board the train which was about to leave in ten minutes. I gave him a wan smile and did not ponder way too much on the fact that my parents had not had the time to drop off their only daughter in the train that would take her to her last year of school. Well father was busy working and mother couldn't have missed her society gala for anything besides, like I said Slytherins were strong we didn't need parents to drop us off anywhere. I shook off my brooding mood and fought my way through the hordes of people in the train all clambering to look for a seat- I mean how much more commonplace could they get? I walked straight over to the Prefect compartment where the rest of my friends were waiting. If you ever saw my group together you would think that they were vampires or something- they were all good looking, and let me tell you when I make a statement like that, I mean it. Scorpius Malfoy came up to greet me with a grave look on his face which instantly told me that something was very wrong. I looked at Rosetta Nott's face and saw the same expression mirrored in it. Karl and Evan looked away when I stared at them. "Cmon guys, who died?" I asked them with a serious expression. "Oh believe me," Scorpious said, It's much worse than that."
I fumed and sulked sitting at the very end of the prefect conference room, half an hour later. It definitely was confirmed, McGonall had finally gone bonkers. I mean which sane person in their right mind makes a Gryffindor and a Slytherin work together as Head Boy and Girl. Yeah guys you heard it right, I was going to be sharing my duties with none other than Albus Severus Potter.
