A/N: This is my first fanfic up here on (not to say the whole Internet!) and I hope you all enjoy!

Note that the genres of the future years (I'll do Year 1-Year 7) may vary due to the characters growing and more stuff getting into the plot, which I'm still working on trying to find out… Hehe... First and formerly, the story is about friendship (with a hint at future couples… and I'm sure you'll be able to find that out).

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters (well except for Selene, who comes from my imagination and has been adapted into this fanfic) or the world they live in. J.K. Rowling does. (Well at least places affiliated with wizardry which are mentioned, not the entire Great Britain…)


"Mom!" Rose jumped up and down in excitement. "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! We're gonna be late! We'll miss the train!"

Rose's mother Hermione sighed at her daughter, who was ever so eager to get to King's Cross. Rose Weasley, a tall eleven-year old with brilliantly red locks and hazelnut-eyes put on a frown.

"Rosie, the train won't disappear into thin air if we're not there at seven o'clock in the morning. It leaves eleven o'clock and not a second later."

"Yeah Rosie, your mother will make sure we leave an hour early." Her father, Ron, said with a yawn. He was sitting at the breakfast table with the Daily Prophet in his hand, the other one petting their ancient cat-kneazle Crookshanks, a fat, red, longhaired being with an awfully squished nose. Although his hairs around the nose had gotten a little grey. Rose's brother Hugo was eating porridge with a slight sulk. He'd been nagging his parents of somehow getting him to start attending Hogwarts two years early, failing miserably.

Rose kept her frown and sat down at the breakfast table, ignoring the annoying sounds of their miniature owl Chippy, the daughter of the now deceased Piggy. Rose had named Chippy because of the chipmunk-like sounds the owl usually made.

Hermione sat down a bowl of porridge in front of her and sat down by the table herself with a cup of tea and some toast. "Anything interesting happening?" She asked her husband.

"No, just some gibberish about the merpeople at Hogwarts." Rose looked up.

"Merpeople at Hogwarts?" Her parents had never told her anything about merpeople at Hogwarts. Her parents just exchanged a smile and continued their breakfast. "There's merpeople there?" Rose carried on. "You think I'd meet them?"

"Not unless you go down to the bottom of the lake." Her father muttered.

Rose continued her porridge in haste and then scrambled up to her room, rummaging her trunk for her copy of Hogwarts, A history. She looked up the chapter about the grounds but the only thing that would be connected to the merpeople would be lake in which the sewers ended. Eew.

About three hours and fifty-five minutes later the Weasley family joined the Potters and Rose's cousins James, Albus and Lily. James was already attending Hogwarts, becoming a third-year, and Al was beginning attending with Rose and their cousins Lucy and Molly – who where the twin-daughters of uncle Percy, Ron's and Auntie Ginny's older brother – Lily however wouldn't be starting her seven years at Hogwarts until Rose and Al were third-years together with Hugo.

Rose barely listened to the adults but merely stared at the train, feeling a bit pale beneath her unusually small freckles to belong to a Weasley. She was actually completely fixed by the train until her father spoke to her, telling her to beat a boy farther away on every test. Rose recognised the boy's father from the Prophet a week earlier, remembering his name was Draco Malfoy. She skipped to the boy again, he was pale and had very light-blonde hair. He looked anxious.

Too soon she had to leave her family to find a compartment in the train, although when she thought about it she was happy to finally be on the train. An older student helped her get her trunk in, much to her relief. She had feared she'd have to wait until Al got on board to get her trunk in.

She waved her family goodbye on the platform from the window as the train started rolling and stopped the minute the compartment door was opened by Al, who seemed to be panting from the effort of dragging a trunk a couple of metres in a hall.

"Here let me help you." Rose got to her feet and pushed the trunk from behind as Al dragged it into the compartment.

"Thanks." Al said and took off his glasses to wipe them off his sweater, they'd gone misty out on the platform.

A couple of minutes they chatted about how they thought Hogwarts would be, until they heard an "ouff" out in the hallway. Rose slid the door open and stuck out her head. The pale Malfoy boy was there, and so was his trunk and a big black owl in a cage.

"Do you want help with that one?" Rose offered him as she took a step towards him, followed by Al.

The boy glanced up and then quickly turned his gaze down. "No thanks." He muttered and made a move towards the trunk again.

"It looks like you might need it." Rose pointed out as the boy slowly dragged the trunk an inch further. They boy looked at her again and Rose realized that he must know who she and Al were. "C'mon, you can sit in our compartment." She said and walked to help him move the trunk with Al tailing along.

Together they got the trunk in the compartment and they all settled down on the seats, Rose facing the Malfoy boy by the window and Al at the other end of Rose's seat.

"I'm Rose Weasley," Rose said. "What's your name?"

"Scorpius. Malfoy." The boy looked out the window.

"I'm Albus Potter." Al said. "You can call me Al though."

For a while they sat in awkward silence before Rose decided to talk. "What house do you want to be in?" She asked Scorpius who shrugged.

"I don't know, my entire family, except my mom, has been in Slytherin so chances are I'll be placed there."

"Actually, your entire family haven't been there. Sirius Black was a Gryffindor and Nymphadora Tonks was a Hufflepuff. My dad said so and in our house there's a tapestry with the Black family tree which says that Narcissa Black married a Malfoy and they got a son who got a son, him being you."

Scorpius looked surprised. "I thought that that tapestry was ruined long ago. I mean, my father said that it probably was." He looked down.

"My dad wants to keep it up. Somehow he actually managed to sort out who the missing people on the tree were, and putting their names back there. He also managed to find an ancestor of ours in there and so even my generation is there now, although not the Weasley part, the tapestry refuses to even put anyone with the Weasley name on it."

"And since we're a completely different Wizarding-family we have our own." Rose put in. "I don't know were it is though."

"We have one of the Malfoy family too. My father locked it in somewhere after I read it when I was six." Scorpius looked down. "I think he was ashamed."

"Ashamed of what?" Rose asked. "Your family name may be despised now but it wasn't always, wasn't it? I'm sure somewhere along your line there's someone who did good deeds, your grandma actually lied to Voldemort about Uncle Harry being dead. Maybe not to protect him but to find your dad."

"How did you know that?" Scorpius asked as if it was news to him.

"At some Christmas we kids interrogated the ones that were in the battle against Voldemort." Rose smiled.

"We didn't get that much out of them though, only pieces of the whole story." Al told him.

"I didn't know that." Scorpius said and seemed very cheered up by knowing his grandmother at least had committed a good deed during the war.

"Well it's true." Rose smiled at him. "Hey, if we're all placed in the same house or something like that, we might be able to get our dads to officially invite you over some holiday."

Scorpius looked down instantly. Rose cursed in her mind over her own sense of tact. Or lack of.

"I… I'd be glad to. If your fathers don't have anything against m- I mean, it." Scorpius's cheeks turned slightly pink.

Al looked at him with empathy in his eyes. "You don't have to worry about that, we – 'the New Generation' as Uncle Ron calls us – knows ways to persuade our parents they don't even know of. Plus, mom and Auntie Hermione will make them come to their senses. No one handles our fathers as our mothers. And Grandma of course." Rose suddenly remembered a certain Christmas when her dad and Uncle Harry had been helping James, Fred and Louis to prank it up, golly had they been scared when Molly had gotten enough.

Rose caught a glimpse of what she thought was hope suddenly appearing in Scorpius's eyes when he looked up and beamed at them. "That would be awesome." Since the conversation and Scorpius had taken a more positive note Rose got the three of them into talking about Quidditch when they were interrupted by a very nervous girl. Judging by her clothes she were muggleborn since she wore what Rose registered as typical muggle-clothing on her.

"Hi, who are you?" Rose said to the girl

"I-I'm Selene. C-can I get in here? There's some mean boys chasing me." The girl said.

"Sure, c'mon in." Al said and smiled. "You're muggleborn, right?"

"Yes…" Selene said with a shy glance at Scorpius before she sat down beside him. Rose noticed a twitch in Scorpius's hand before he greeted her with a smile.

"My mother is too." Rose interjected before Albus had the time to answer. "And my uncle Harry, Al's," she nodded towards Albus, "dad didn't know he was a wizard until he got the letter."

"Really? Oh, I thought you might be…" The sentence faded as the girl searched for a suiting word.

"Purebloods? Not me and Al at least. I'm Rose Weasley by the way, and this is Scorpius Malfoy."

"Hi." Scorpius murmured to her. "I'm a pureblood, but it's really not any difference between muggleborns and purebloods. Only prejudice." He said and smiled again at her. She smiled back shyly.

Rose eyed the girl. She had her auburn hair in a ponytail and her eyes were a sweet blue that reminded Rose of the ocean outside of Shell Cottage, where her Uncle Bill and aunt Fleur lived with their kids Victoire, Dominique and Louis. Her cheeks were flustered, probably from running through the train because of the "mean boys".

"I like your name, isn't it the name of a Greek goddess of the moon?" Rose said after Albus had properly introduced himself as a Potter.

"Yeah… My mum's an archaeologist and she's really big on ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. We have a cat named Nyx, goddess of the Night, and my middle name is Hecate. Mom like it and thought it fit with the theme since she's a goddess of darkness."

"I thought she was the goddess of magic?" Albus shot in.

"No, not only. Also the goddess of fear and places where three roads meet. Kinda like Artemis, goddess of hunting, the moon and the whole three roads meet thingy. Mum loves the goddesses that most people would associate with you know, evil things. The kids at my muggle school always made fun of my name." Selene looked down

"I don't know much about Greek and Roman stuff, but I do know one thing about wizarding families, and that is that we all like naming our kids stuff from mythology and even constellations," Scorpius smiled a wry smile at this, referring to his own name "so even if you were teased at your old school, most people would probably think you're at least half-blood at Hogwarts. Besides, I kinda like it that your mum named you after the goddess of Magic, at least as a middle name, it makes me wonder if she might have known that you would turn out to be a witch." Scorpius finished with a nice smile towards Selene.

"Thanks, I didn't really think of it that way before." Selene smiled shyly at him.

"Well, I'm glad to help out. It's a tradition in my family to name kids after, well, constellations and stars and stuff, so I know how it is having a weird name."


So, that was Chapter 1, which really is a prologue so... I'll upload the second chapter now.
Please R&R, I know I screwed up a bit when I first uploaded it, so anyone who read it before I've corrected it if smething seems weird.

Also, I would like advice on "Hagrid-speak" as I've only read the books in Swedish (though I'm using an English site for facts about animals and stuff). Anyone that wants to help me on that, just send me the basics in a review or something.

Next chapter is from both Scorpius' PoV and Roses PoV. Wow, I have no idea how long that will be...
