Chapter1 departure
Scorpius pov
It had been a quiet ride to platform 9 ¾. Neither my mum nor my dad spoke the whole way. As adverse as dad had been to it we had take a muggle car to the train station. We arrived just in time the train had just begun boarding. My mum helped me get my things on to the train. My dad just stood there disappointment on his face. He was always disappointed in him no matter what. It was as if his presence was disappointing to his dad. My mum said goodbye to me. My dad said nothing. Neither one of them hugged me. "Goodbye" I said my voice cheerful despite their coldness "I'll make you proud Dad, I promise." He remained silent ad just nodded then I said the last words with uncertainty "I love you both"
I took my owl and went to find a car. My owl's name was shadow when I went shopping for school in Diagon Alley. My mum thought I should get a pet to take to Hogwarts. I was looking at the display of frogs and newts when I notice a little owl that had been following me for a while. The store manager noticed and picked him up apologizing that this one is always escaping from him cage no matter what spell the put on it. I told him it was fine I liked the little guy. I fluffed the feather on his head and he cooed. The guy told me he liked me too. I name d him shadow and my mum bought him he's gone everywhere with me since then.
I stopped at a place that might be empty. There was no chatter behind the door, so I went in. To my surprise it wasn't
"Hello" a girl about my age sat in the seat wearing a green sundress and sweater, her eyes were covered with large dark sunglasses "Who's there"
"Umm…me?" huh? I was standing right in front of her couldn't she see me. Then I realized she was blind.
"And who's me?" she said in a joking tone like she had gotten that answer a lot.
"Scorpius. Scorpius Malfoy." I held out my hand stupidly then took it back
"Scorpius… hmmm… not ringing any bells, so I'm Natalie, I'm blind." She put out her hand I shook it then put my hands in my pocket
"You can sit down you know?" she said
"Oh, yeah, right." I sat down and put Shadow next to me. He hooted softly.
"I hear you have a owl." she said
"Yeah."
"What's his name?"
"Shadow."
"What color is he?" gave her a questioning look the realized she couldn't see it
"How would you…" she interrupted "I was blinded when I was 7 I still remember what colors look like" her voice saddened a bit
"He all gray like ash" I said trying to be specific
"So what's his name" I said noticing her cat the cat had been so still I hadn't noticed it
"Her name is Isabella, she's a gingery color I've been told"
"You've been told right" I said
She smiled
Someone knocked on the door "Hello?" came a girl's voice "Is this car all full?"
"No" Natalie replied
The door opened and two more people stepped in one had red hair, pale skin, and a light smattering of freckles over her nose, the other had dark hair with green eyes he looked familiar
"Hello my name is Natalie and the other person is Scorpius" she put her hand up to point to me but wasn't sur were I was so I coughed lightly and her hand motioned to me "What are your names?"
"I'm Rose and this is my cousin Albus. It his first year," she motioned to the boy who looked worried "I haven't seen you before are your first years too?" she asked
"Yeah," Natalie replied "I'm excited but a little nervous" she took off her glasses so they could see the pale white scare that went across her foggy green eyes
"I'm sure they'll get you someone or something to help you around" I said hopefully
"So what house do you want to be in? I'm in Gryffindor." Said Rose changing the subject
"I don't really care which house I get into as long as I can find my way to the table… but I guess Gryffindor would be nice" she turned to me who was now sitting beside her "Where do you want to be Scorpius?" honestly I hadn't given it much thought
"Umm… doesn't the hat pick for you?"
"It takes your opinion into consideration too." Albus said a little moody I think I had hit a nerve better not bring that subject up again
A knock on the door broke the awkward silence
"Hello would and of you children like to buy something from the trolley" the lady said as she opened the door. Natalie got out a purse with small worn embossed tabs sticking out of each slot. Oh I get it the tabs show the denomination of the coins.
"What do you have?" the woman understood she was blind and began listing what was in her cart and unnecessarily pointing to each item. Natalie got a pumpkin juice pop, Albus got Bertie Botts every-flavored jelly beans, Rose said she was saving her money so I bought a lemon stick and a peppermint stick and handed the peppermint stick to her. She smiled "Thanks," she said "You didn't have to. But how did you know I like peppermint"
"Lucky guess" I wanted to say because it was sweet and spicy like her and the stripes were the same color as her hair but I'd just met her so I didn't
A little while later after we had all finished our candy someone older came down to our car and told us we'll be there soon so we better change into our school uniforms
After we had changed I noticed Natalie still had on her sun glasses I asked her about it and she told me that the sun hurt her eyes. I decided not to press the subject. When we arrived we were greeted by a huge man in a worn brown coat. Albus told me his name is Hagrid. "All first years with me to the boats"
Rose waved goodbye to Albus and said "I'll see you after sorting no matter what house you're in"
Natalie gulped "boats?"
Albus took her hand "Don't worry Natalie my Dad said the boats are perfectly safe, the 5th years take carriages driven by invisible animals"
"Cool what else do you know?" her curiosity seemed to erase her fear and she got in to the boat.
I looked around and saw everyone's faces some excited ,some worried, or nervous about sorting but I was completely calm.
Well sorta. Maybe I was a little nervous but don't tell Natalie and Albus
A/N so how do yoou like this please tell me if any thing is wrong or not in accordance with the epilouge thanks
