Albus and Rose scurried along the carridge to find an empty compartment. when they finally found one they sat down and relaxed. after 10 minutes of idle chit-chat Rose said

"Al, i'm scared! what if i get put in Slytherin? what if i don't make any friends? what if-"

"Rosie, don't be scared. a) if you get put in Slytherin, it wont matter to anyone and B) you will make friends, and plus you have me!" Albus repeated the very same words that Rose said to him only a few weeks earlier. Rose burst into a fit of giggles.

"Rose, you look rather un-lady like" said James looking down on rose curled up in a ball laughing uncontrollably for no particular reason. at once rose stopped laughing and turned red.

"anyway, George, this is my brother Albus and our cousin Rose" George shook hands with Albus and winked at Rose. Rose blushed and her heart fluttered. "please George, stop charming my cousin!" James said jokingly, not really believing he was. but Albus knew Rose, and he knew she was.
