Well hello there my lovelies! I have decided to make this my big project as a fanfiction writer, and it couldn't be anything but Harry Potter. If you're up for something lighter and are a Sherlockian (can't believe I already had that word saved to my dictionary on here!) then please feel free to check out my first fanfiction Her Appearance.

Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling and I don't own any characters etc.

Strong language in this chapter (I really don't seem to hesitate..)

"Now, you promise you're going to be okay?" Mum, Hermione, had said. She looked worried, as always. Fourth year at Hogwarts and she was still treating me like I wasa first year.

"Yes, of course Mum. You shouldn't be worrying about me, I'll be fine, like always. I get top marks in every subject and I've probably earned my fair share of the Gryffindor house points." I grinned. "Besides, it's Hugo you should be looking out for." We both looked over towards my younger brother, who was about to start his third year and was attempting to turn his owl into a cat along with my cousin, Albus.

Albus was my year, which was slightly worrying.

"Okay sweetheart, but I will never stop worrying about either of you. I love you, okay?"

"I love you too, Mum. Now I won't be able to get a good seat if I'm not careful. I'll mail you." I kissed her cheek, and then my father's, and got on the train. My brother and cousins followed not long after, but as always, Albus was last. He was receiving the usual pep talk from Harry, which usually consisted of how to win a Quidditch match.

I was right about not being able to get a seat, and the only compartment available contained a certain Slytherin. He didn't look too happy, but the thing about Scorpious Malfoy is that he was never happy. Ever.

"Hello Scorpious. Mind if we sit here? Everywhere else is taken." I asked politely.

"As you wish, Weasley. I couldn't care less." He muttered against the window, not even bothering to look my way. At this point a part of me almost wanted to change my mind, but ignoring the annoyed looks from my family, I sat down, followed soon by Hugo, Albus and Lily.

James who was my eldest cousin in fifth year, politely declined. "If you think I'm sitting in a compartment with a fucking Slytherin you're wrong Rose. Honestly there are probably plenty of Gryffindors willing to sit with me." He left, slamming the door behind him.

I instantly felt bad. James had been incredibly moody recently, which was unlike him. I apologised on his behalf.

"Scorpious I'm sorry about him, he's just been in a bad temper."

He looked at me then, "Weasley why are you apologising for him? I get it all the time. Why do you think I'm sitting here by myself?" He seemed sad, unlike the Scorpious who used to tease me in my first year.

"If I'm honest I don't know, but if you don't wish to explain then I understand. If you do though, I would happily-" He cut me off with no, but thanks anyway. I'll bear your sudden interest in mind.

Scorpious was silent for the rest of the journey, only saying no, or no thank you to anything we offered him. Albus, Hugo and Lily gave up on him very quickly, but I couldn't help but want to try.

For some reason I wanted to know more about the blonde haired Slytherin from the Malfoy family.

Loved writing this. I have so many ideas for it and another chapter might even be up tonight- depends on what I'm doing! Actually knowing me nothing so its highly likely! Please review and constructive critique is always appreciated.

Have a nice day
