Disclaimer: I am not J.K. Rowling. I don't own this junk. And btw, I got the idea for the story from the author "the strange."
Scorpius Malfoy stared out at the landscape flying by. He was full of anxiety over the coming year. He was aware that the former generations of his family had all been Slytherins, but he didn't want to be like the rest. It's just that he was afraid that if he wasn't sorted into Slytherin house his father would be ashamed of him.
While he was contemplating all of this in distress, the door to his compartment slid open. He turned to see a boy and girl looking to be about his age. The boy had black hair and green eyes. The girl was flame-haired with brown eyes and freckles sprinkled across the bridge of her nose.
"Oh!" The girl exclaimed. "Hello. Could we join you?"
"Of course." Scor responded, momentarily stricken. He had never shown much interest in girls, so he could not have identified why he suddenly felt so flustered.
"I'm Albus Potter." said the boy as the pair sat before Scor.
"And I'm Rose Weasley." said the girl with a sweet smile. "What's your name?"
"My name's Scorpius Malfoy. But you can call me Scor." Scor had regained his composure, but he still felt a little funny.
"So, what house do you think you'll be in?" asked Albus.
"Well...I'm hoping to be in Gryffindor."
"I think I'm going to be in Ravenclaw. It's where they put all the smartest witches and wizards." interjected Rose.
"Except for Aunt Hermione." said Albus.
"Well, you're right, mum was in Gryffindor...and I know my parents want me to be in it too, but I think I am much more suited to Ravenclaw."
"I hope that I'll be in Gryffindor." said Albus, looking at Scor. "Maybe we'll be sharing a dorm!"
"That'd be pretty cool!" responded Scor.
Rose sighed dreamily. "I can't believe we're finally going to Hogwarts."
-----
The trio unboarded the train together. They had spent the journey getting to know each other and Scor quite enjoyed Albus and Rose's company. The first years all crowded into the boats and enjoyed the trip across the lake. They were quivering with excitement when they reached the doors to the Great Hall. They were met by Professor Longbottom, head of Gryffindor.
"Welcome First Years! In a few moments you will be sorted into your houses. The houses are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Now, please follow me." Professor Longbottom led them into the Great Hall and they stood before the Sorting Hat, which proceeded to sing an interesting song. When it was finished, names were called.
"Scorpius Malfoy." Was finally called. Scor made his way up to the stool and sat, the Sorting Hat being placed on his head. After very few moments of deliberation, during which the Sorting Hat listened to Scor's pleas to not be placed in Slytherin, the hat decided.
"GRYFFINDOR!" with great joy, Scor traveled to his respective table.
Shortly after, Albus was called to the stool and almost immediately sorted into Gryffindor. Rose was called last and sorted into Ravenclaw. Albus noticed that Scor looked disappointed.
After a short welcome from Headmaster Orion, the feast began. Scor and Albus became acquainted with other Gryffindors, some of which Albus already knew. Scor tried to ignore the scathing looks he received from the people who knew him at the Slytherin table.
Later that night, Scor couldn't sleep. He was so happy to be part of Gryffindor and to be starting classes the next day. Of course, his parents might not be nearly as joyful…..
Okay, so that's it for the first chapter. Please let me know if it is even remotely interesting. Thank you.
