A/N; sorry its short, but, as I suck at intros, it was the best my mind could come up with haha. The story should really pick up from here though. As for Orion, I picked a random name of the Black family tree, and then realized it was Sirius' dad. Anyways, if you guys wanna suggest a better name for him, I'm all ears. Oh and he's the son of Nott and Daphne Greengrass, making him Scorpius' cousin.

Chapter 1

Train

"Al, hurry up!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

I heard laughter at the words from some of the older students as I raced after the train, but I didn't understand why. My mind was still the innocent one of an 11 year old boy as I jumped on board just in time.

I turned and waved frantically at my parents, my little sister glaring at me with a jealous edge. I stiffened a laugh at the sight, but Lily still noticed, and her mouth dropped. Her glare became deadly, meaning in a few months time I was gonna get it. They disappeared in the distance, gone.

I turned and jumped a mile in the air. My cousin, Rose, laughed loudly at me, shaking her head in amusement was standing inches away. Her black school robes where moving slightly with the wind, her red bushy hair swinging lightly as a gust passed us. Her eyes where a silvery blue, the same as her grandpa on her moms side.

"Come on Al, before all the good seats are taken." she told him.

"Yeah.. Let's go." I replied.

She smiled, before turning and leading the way. It was utterly useless to attempt to resist her lead. She had to much of her mother in her for that. So, I simply followed. We entered an empty compartment, sitting down at the end.

"Where's James?" I asked as I sat.

"Probably planing a full new array of pranks to tear up the school with Justin."

I nodded absentmindedly. Justin, Uncle Neville's son. Well, Neville wasn't really our Uncle per say, but he was practically familly anyways. My older brother was obviously an extremely bad influence on him, considering that James had turned our. peaceful cousin into a full blown prankster.

"So, this is it." Rose grinned widely.

I grinned back. "I can't believe where finally going."

"Aren't you scared?" she asked.

"Nah, 'course not." I answered a little to quickly. She simply raised her eyebrows at me, not buying it for a second. "Fine," I surrendered, "James got me all paranoid on the way here..."

"Remind me to hit him later."

I laughed as I shook my head. "What is it with you and wildly abusing others?" I asked.

She narrowed her eyes at me and lifted her hand threateningly. I laughed even harder, and soon, she joined in.

"Idiot." she declared.

"Abuser den'fantes!" I countered.

She growled and I laughed again. Aunt Fluer had nicknamed Rose 'child abuser' since she had an insatiable habit of smacking everyone upside the head playfully. She completly hated it, which is what made it funny in the first place.

"Your impossible." she laughed and shook her head.

"Aww, come on, you know you love me Rose."

"Your familly. I have no choice in the matter."

I laughed again and she ended up joining me. I'd been told countless times that my laughter was extremely contagious, and even Rose, who was usually the serious one, always ended up submitting to it in the end.

Suddenly, the compartment door swung open, and a boy with pale blonde hair stuck his head in. "Can I sit here? Everywhere else is full."

I shrugged and nodded before looking away. Something about the boy was oddly familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Malfoy." Rose said to my surprise. She was staring at the boy through narrowed eyes as he sat. I reminded myself that she had inherited her fathers prejudice against the Malfoys, unlike I, who didn't give a damn.

"Um, yeah, so?" the boy asked.

She simply glared at him before looking away.

"Anyways, what house do you think you'll be in?" she asked me, completly ignoring the other boy who stared at her in wonder, his mouth opened in surprise.

"Does it matter?" I asked, the spirit of the short speech my dad had given me still flowing through my veins

"I wouldn't mind Ravenclaw, but I still would like to be in Gryffindor like mum and dad. I just hope I don't end up in Slytherin, dad would never say it to my face but he'd be disappointed." she said rapidly.

Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the other boy glaring at her.

"Rose, your completly mental, of course you'll be in Gryffindor." I teased.

She laughed as she attempted to swat my arm. The other boy laughed at the two of us, resulting in Rose glaring at him.

"Seriously, what is your problem?" the boy demanded.

"Oh, nothing. Nothing at all." she replied apathetically.

"Doesn't look like nothing." the boy scoffed.

"Rose, leave him alone, he hasn't done anything." I told her. She simply rolled her eyes and looked away, straight through the window at the passing wilderness.

"Sorry for that." I told the boy.

"Its alright I guess. I get that a lot." the boy shrugged as if the fact that people where randomly rude to him was perfectly normal.

"What? Why?" I asked, concerned.

"Because my grandfather was a crazed Dark Wizard and my dad was going that way."

"Your father is an arrogant prick." Rose commented as she turned to fix her deadly glare on the boy again.

"Oi! You don't know him, so you can-"

"Oh, I do." Rose interrupted.

"How?" I asked.

"Mom's Pensive." she replied.

"Oh.." I nodded, remembering the time I tried to sneak a peak into dad's Pensive. I'd been caught less than a minute after I managed to get in, which wasn't much sadly enough.

"And what exactly did you see?" the boy demanded.

"Your dad. Being a complete arse."

I had to laugh at the sight of tiny little innocent looking Rose swearing. She had inherited her fathers talent for colorful words.

Just then, the doors opened again. A boy with dark hair that could of been the first boys twin gazed inside, his deep blue eyes resting on the pale blond boy. "Scorp, I promised Aunt Astoria I'd watch after you, and I've been looking everywhere. Come on, let's go."

"I don't see why I need a damn keeper..." Scorpius muttered.

"Belive me, I don't like it either, but I did promise and I am a man of my word."

"Twelve is hardly considered manhood, Orion." Scorpius laughed.

"Thirteen! Well, in two days anyways. Come on, don't make me drag you." Orion threatened.

Scorpius rolled his eyes. "Fine.." he muttered as he stood, following his cousin out without a second glance.

"Good, its gone..." Rose muttered.

"Rose, what's wrong with you? He didn't do anything-"

"Yet, Al. Yet. If he's anything like his father, trust me, even you'll hate him."

"Shouldn't we give him a chance, though?"

"Dad told me that Malfoys dad threatened him and your dad the first day they met, on this train, telling them they where gonna die. I don't trust him at all."

I was completly silent at that. The silence stretched ever so lightly before we struck up another conversation, finding random topics to pass the time. Before long, Hogwarts was in sight. We where here, finally here.
