Authors Note: Hey! Thank you for wanting to read my story! This is basically a Rose/Scorpius fic, but it will revolve around other pairings sometimes. Hope you enjoy it!
PS. While writing this chapter I was kinda inspired by the song All Star by Smash Mouth, so you can listen to it if you want to, while reading this. Just a suggestion. :) DS.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
I've always loved the Hogwarts Express. It's kind of the object that represents my feelings for school start. And it matches my hair.
I think it feels kinda nice to start school again. I mean, I get to meet everyone that I haven't seen all summer. Like Anna, Jennie.. and Scorpius. I miss him the most, I think. Actually, I kinda like him more too, 'cause he's really gorgeous and-. Wait,what? I mean he's my friend. My best friend. I don't like him, or anything like that. I just, like, like him. Like a friend. Yeah, that's right, like a friend. He's not gorgeous.
But really, I have missed Anna and Jen too. They are my best girlfriends. Anna's been in France with her mother over the summer. And she didn't even write! I mean, she could've at least written a sodding letter. So that I knew that she hadn't, like died or something. You see, Anna isn't a very careful person. She's like the epitome of recklessness. Once, I had to drag her out of a hippogriff's cage while she was trying to hug it. She said, and I quote 'It looked lonely.'. It may have something to do with the amounts of fire whiskey that she'd had.
But she's nice though. She's got these bright blue eyes that shines when she smiles. When she does that, all the boys swoon. Literally. Especially a certain green-eyed, messy-haired cousin of mine. *cough*Albus*cough*. But she doesn't like any of them. She just says, and again, I quote, 'He's not my type'. About. Every. Freaking. One. She hasn't even had a boyfriend! Not that I've had one either...
Anyway, Jennie is probably the opposite of Anna. Being a quidditch player, she's fairly strong, apart from Anna, who's, well, rather weak. But she's not reckless. Being a seeker, she's used to observe, she says, and she doesn't throw herself in to danger, like she said once when Anna had tried something called bungee-jump. I'm not sure what that is. Anna says it's a muggle thing. Anna's father is a muggle.
Jennie's from a pureblood family. She's the daughter of Blaise Zabini, and therefore, very beautiful. She's got dark, skin, dark eyes and dark hair. She doesn't make the guy's catch their breath like Anna does, but still, gets their attention. Apart from me and Anna, Jennie's had a lot of boyfriends. Like seriously, a lot of boyfriends. She gets together with them, and three weeks later, she's tired of them. She's like the female version of Albus.
Oh,Albus and his girls. My blood boils every time I think about it. The way he treats them... really disrespectful, y'know? He hooks up with them, makes them love him and leaves them. It's bothering me.
Atleast my favourite cousin has a redeeming quality, he's really open-minded. Even more than me.
On our first trip with the Hogwarts Express, he made friends with Alexander Nott, Derek Parkinson, and Scorpius Malfoy. He didn't even care about their last names. It turned out that he was sorted into Slytherin anyway, and they became his housemates.
But still, I wish I could be like that. I only became friends with Scorpius during our third year because Albus basically forced me.
No, really! He took my hand, and dragged me to the Slytherin table in the Great Hall while muttering something about being tired of splitting his time between us. Then he sat me down beside Scorpius and said: 'Talk!'.
And we did. And even though I thought he was rather arrogant (and still does!), we became friends. And now we're inseparable. But he's still arrogant
Apart from that, Scorpius is alright. He may be Draco Malfoy's son, but he's not deatheater-y at all! You see, everyone thinks they know the Malfoys. 'Oh, the Malfoys, yeah, they're soulless Slytherin deatheaters, the lot of them'. It's so... infuriating! Do they know, that Scorpius wouldn't hurt a fly, that he snorts when he laughs, or that he's afraid to fail tests because it might disappoint the teachers? I've met his father too. The infamous Draco Malfoy. But no, he wasn't terrifying at all. He was rather nice, actually. But not as nice as Scorpius's mother. Astoria is a very kind, but also a very determined woman. She was determined to make my father accept me and Scorpius's friendship, so she did. That's what I call an accomplishment!
Anyhow, now you may wonder, who am I? How am I? Well, I'll tell you. I'm Rose Weasley, the daughter of 'The Brightest Witch of her Generation' and, well, Ron Weasley. Just the fact that my parents are two thirds of the Golden Trio, people expect me to be, well, perfect. But I'm not. I'm not smart, like my mother, funny, like my father, or pretty, like Anna and Jennie. Actually, I'm kinda plain. I don't make an impression. My hair, that I like to describe as auburn, is really ginger-ish, and I have freckles all over my face. I'm not smart, I'm not funny, and I'm not even pretty! Oh cruel world, why, why? The only thing I consider myself good at is quidditch. I'm a chaser.
Other than quidditch I'm not good at anything. Fuck. My. Life.
''Rooooosie!'', a high-pitched voice screeches, interrupting me from my self-pity. I immediately realise it's Jennie. She's the only one who's allowed to call me that.
I quickly rise to my feet to hug her. Aouch. My butt hurts. I guess I've been sitting too long.
''Hey, Jen!'' I hug her tightly. Oh god, I've missed her. ''How's life?'', I ask in an impersonation of her mother, while taking her hands in mine. She giggles.
''Oh,great!'' She grabs one of my hands and squeezes it. ''I've missed you! I have got soo much to tell you and Annie! So, how are-''. Suddenly, her ramble was interrupted.
I looked over at where she was looking. There was some random couple snogging in the middle of platform 9 3/4! She squeezed my hand again, harder this time, but for an absolutely different reason. 'Cause the couple wasn't random. As a matter of fact, I knew them very well. The snogging couple consisted of Anna Jackson, my best friend, and Scorpius Malfoy, my other best friend. Oh my. I think I have to sit down.
Author's note: Hey! This is my first story ever (!) so I don't really know if it's any good. Therefore,I'd like you to tell me! Perhaps by pressing the button that says review? :)
Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed it, and if it sucked, please don't kill me!
Yours truly, Moon
