I Hate, Or Do I
Chapter 1
Hi readers! This is the first Fan Fiction that I've written so please, don't hate too much if it's not very good. It's much better than how I originally had it.
First Year (Rose's POV)
"Hurry up Rose," called Dad, "It's almost time to leave."
I was upstairs in my bedroom making sure I had everything packed. Today I was finally going to Hogwarts! I was nervous. Mainly nervous about my classes, exams and when I would be able to join my houses Quidditch team, but also for the sorting ceremony. Honestly I didn't care if I was a Gryffindor or Ravenclaw; everyone told me I was smart enough to be a Ravenclaw. I guess I'd be ok if I was a Hufflepuff, I mean it was Teddy's house but he's out of Hogwarts now. Slytherin was what I didn't want to be in. I guess I was kind of worried that I'd be put in Slytherin but definitely not as worried as my best friend and Cousin Albus Severus Potter (Or "Al" as he liked to be called.)
Al's older brother James Sirius Potter kept telling him he'd be a Slytherin and he was starting to believe it.
I quickly grabbed my bag and the cage with my owl Hedwig inside (She's named after my Uncle Harry's old owl) and called "coming Dad" then ran down the stairs. Dad was walking out of the kitchen holding a sandwich. Of course, all Weasley's absolutely love food. My Dad, Ron Weasley, was a tall guy with red hair. Red hair was another one of the things Weasley's have. He has blue eyes and he was wearing a light grey shirt and blue jeans with a pair of running shoes that were red. My Mom walked into the room.
"Ready to go Rose?" She asks then, she looked at my Dad.
"Oh Ron, you're always eating!" She said.
"I'm ready but, I think Dad wants to finish his sandwich," I said.
"Sorry Ron but we don't have time to wait; you can finish it while we are driving."
My Mom, Hermione Granger-Weasley, was about average height but Dad says she was taller than him and Uncle Harry when they were in school. She has beautiful brown curls, and amazing brown eyes. She was wearing a pink shirt and faded blue jeans and small high heeled boots. We went to get into the car.
"Hugo" called Mom, "were about to leave!"
My little brother came racing out of his room and down the stairs yelling.
"YAY! I GET TO SEE LILY!" He exclaimed.
Just like me and Al, Hugo and Lily Luna Potter have been best friends forever. Hugo and I both got our Dad's blue eyes and red hair but both of us have our Mom's curly hair. He loves red so he was wearing a red shirt and blue jeans and red running shoes. Mom quickly calmed him down while Dad sat down eating his sandwich. We all climbed in the car and drove to Kings Cross Station. When we got there we quickly ran through the barrier and onto the platform. Hugo and Lily quickly found each other and started a long talk about Quidditch and what they were going to do when they finally get to go to Hogwarts. Mom, Dad and I went over to greet Aunt Ginny, Uncle Harry, Al and James. After a while Uncle Harry took Al aside, James told me they were talking about what house Al would be in because once again, James had been telling Al he'd be a Slytherin.
Dad said to me Rosie, see that boy over there? That's little Scorpius Malfoy, make sure you beat him on every test. Thank Merlin you have your Mother's brains."
"Ron, don't make her hate the poor boy before school even starts!" Mom said.
I laughed; ignoring the fact the he called me Rosie, I hate being called that. Then, I told my parents I should get on the train. I said goodbye to my parents, brother, cousins, Aunt and Uncle then Al and I got on the train. As the train was leaving we looked out the window and waved at our parents and siblings/cousins and laughed as Hugo and Lily chased the train out.
On The Train
I looked at Al and said, "We need to choose which compartment to go in; we need to make good friends."
Al responded, "I'm going in this one."
"But Al wait," I tried to say but I was cut off by Al walking in. "Never mind," I murmured.
There was only one person in the compartment and he looked familiar.
"Hi" Al said to the boy, "mind if we sit here?"
The boy responded by saying, "no, not at all."
"I'm A…," Al started but was cut off by the boy
"Albus Severus Potter, you look a lot like your Dad,"
Al shook his hand then the boy looked at me. Our eyes met for a few seconds. They were pale blue, so pale they almost looked grey. He was wearing a black shirt, a pair of light blue jeans and green running shoes. His platinum blonde hair made him stand out. He was kind of cute. I turned my head.
I smiled and said, "platinum blonde hair, pale blue eyes, you must be a Malfoy."
He smiled and said, "yes, curly red hair and way too many freckles, you must be a Granger-Weasley."
I smiled and laughed, but then I remembered my Dad's stories about Malfoy's.
"Al," I said, "his Dad was a death eater how do we know he's not just like him. I think we should go to another compartment."
Scorpius looked at me fairly shocked that I brought up his Dad after the laugh we had. Scorpius ignored what I had said and offered us some candy. Al looked at me then took some candy. I slapped it out of his hand.
"What was that for?!" Al asked.
"His Dad was a death eater Al, what if they poisoned that candy."
Scorpius said, "I'm not like my Dad and I wouldn't let him poison my candy, see," and ate some.
"Al, let's go somewhere else," I say.
Surprisingly for both Malfoy and I, he said, "no I think I'll stay here, you go though."
"Ugh," I say, "I'll see you at the sorting ceremony Al."
"Bye Rose! See you at the sorting ceremony," Malfoy said.
I know he was trying to be nice but he's a Malfoy.
"Malfoy," I say disgustedly, "don't you dare call me Rose like that again."
As I leave I hear Malfoy say, "She's a feisty one, isn't she."
Al responded, "Yes but she just needs to get to know you then she might be a bit nicer."
I walked away down the corridor to wear my older cousins Dom and Molly were sitting with their friends in their compartment and sat down and told them all about it. Well I guess I'll make friends tonight or tomorrow.
At Hogwarts, Sorting Ceremony
I finally got to Hogwarts. Neville, I mean Professor Longbottom came to take us into the Great Hall. I saw a battered old hat sitting on a stool, the sorting hat. A lot of the other first years looked really nervous. Probably because they had older siblings that told them you had to do something crazy to be sorted, or they were muggle-born. Professor Longbottom called the first name, Boot, Alana. She was sorted into Hufflepuff. Great, Weasley was one of the last names. After a while I heard Malfoy, Scorpius.
The hat sat on his head for about 5-10 seconds before saying, "SLYTHERIN!"
There was a lot of cheering from the Slytherin table. After a few minutes we heard Potter, Albus. The room when silent. Al walked slowly to the front and sat on the stool and Professor Longbottom placed the hat on Al's head.
After a minute everyone in the room heard the hat shout, "SLYTHERIN!"
Everyone was silent. Suddenly people started whispering things.
"I guess he's not like his Dad" some people said.
"Are you sure he's the right kid," others asked.
Al walked over to the Slytherin table and sat beside Malfoy. After a couple more names were called then I heard Weasley, Rose.
I went to the front and sat on the stool. The last thing I saw before the hat was put on my head and covered my eyes were thousands of faces looking up at me.
Then, I heard a voice say, "Ahhh a Weasley. Ohh but also a Granger. A nice heart, very good mind too. You would do well in Ravenclaw but better in GRYFFINDOR!"
I heard cheering and clapping as Professor Longbottom took the hat off my head and quietly whispered congratulations as I set off smiling towards the Gryffindor table. I sat beside Dom and Molly, and then waited for the feast to begin.
Afterwards Lucy, another one of my cousins and also Molly's sister, lead the first years to the common room.
At the portrait of the fat lady she said, "Pig Snout" and the portrait swung open.
Lucy told us where our dorms are and sent us to bed. Everyone went right to sleep; we were all really tired I'm guessing.
The Next Morning
As I was walking to breakfast I saw a girl from my dorm. She was with Malfoy. He had his wand out and it was pointed at her and then all of a sudden she was upside down!
"HEY MALFOY PUT HER DOWN!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me then said, "Whatever Weasley" and put her down then walked away.
I went up to her then said, "Hi, sorry about him. That was Scorpius Malfoy but I just call him Malfoy. I'm Rose Weasley by the way."
The girl laughed, "I know who you are," she said, "and not just because your parents are famous, they went to school with my parents, Katie Jordan she used to be Katie Bell but she married my Dad, Lee Jordan. I'm Jessica Jordan but you can call me Jess. Nice to meet you Rose"
I smiled at her, "Nice to meet you too Jess"
She said, "Thanks for saving me from Malfoy, all I did was not move when he told me to."
I respond with, "oh no problem, he's a big jerk."
She laughed again and asked "do you want to go to breakfast now?"
"Yeah sure, let's go," I answered.
April Fool's Day
I woke up and decided to go to the library. As I was walking there I tripped on thin air. I thought I heard a laugh but then thought I was just tired because me and Jess and our other friends from our dorm, Liza MacMillan (Ernie MacMillan's Daughter, ) Caitlyn and Cayli Nott (Pansy Parkinson and Theodore Nott's twin daughters, ) Rachel Smith (Zacharias Smith's Daughter) and Bree James (Alicia Spinnets Daughter, She married a muggle), stayed up late trying to think of April Fools Pranks to play on Malfoy. HOLY CHOSEN ONE ITS APRIL FOOLS! Ok Rose calm down you were just being clumsy, besides Malfoy wouldn't be awake at 6 a.m.
I got to the library then read till 7 a.m. which was hard because I kept dropping the books, then went to meet Jess, Liza, Cayli, Caitlyn and Rachel in the Great Hall. Bree likes to sleep in late so she would meet us down at 8 a.m. By the time Bree finally joined us, we almost had our prank planned out. We were going to make sure Malfoy had the wrong book for every class, then hide the right book somewhere random in the castle where he would find it but it wouldn't be that simple because the stair cases would change every other time he went on them. We would also leave him friendly reminders like a note by his toothbrush that says use mustard instead of toothpaste all week or one in a textbook that says you have to tell McGonagall about your teddy bear during dinner by shouting across the hall to the staff table.
It's not a great prank but funny enough to watch all day. The notes part was the best and we thought of it at 1 a.m.
April Fools At Dinner
The first part was pretty funny. Malfoy turned up late to every class today and always had to ask the professor if he could borrow a book because he grabbed the wrong one. In the corridors he would shout random things.
"MY BOOK," he shouted once.
"DO I SLEEP WALK?" he said later.
Once he even said, "I'M GOING INSANE!"
There was a rumor going around that started with the Slytherin's telling people that Malfoy used mustard as toothpaste and he didn't even know why.
All of a sudden, he stood up and shouted "MCGONAGALL!"
I looked at the girls and we all smiled.
"I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M TELLING YOU THIS" he continued "BUT I HAVE A TEDDY BEAR NAMED -BEAR! BUT I HAVEN'T USED HIM I JUST KEEP HIM IN MY SUITCASE!" MERLIN WHY DID I TELL YOU THAT!?"
The entire hall was dying of laughter. Even the teachers were laughing.
Then, McGonagall stood up and said "Thank you Mr. Malfoy for that announcement even though it was quite bizarre. However I would like to know who the brilliant minds were behind that April Fools Prank because they might not have known but whatever a note says on April Fools at Hogwarts, the person that it's meant for has to do it."
The girls and I burst into laughter.
"Very good prank girls however I do need you to say a few words to Mr. Malfoy," McGonagall said.
The girls and I shout, "APRIL FOOLS MALFOY" across the Great Hall. Malfoy's face looks redder than a tomato but then, it looks like he gets an idea.
He stands up again and shouts "HEY WEASLEY!"
I look at the girls and they look just as confused as I am.
"YOU KNOW HOW YOU'VE BEEN TRIPPING AND DROPPING STUFF ALL DAY" he continues "APRIL FOOLS WEASEL!"
I looked at the girls and said "well that explains me being clumsy all day, not the best prank though".
Jess shouts "NOT THE BEST PRANK MALFOY" across the hall. I was never going to let him forget this.
