J.K. Rowling owns Harry Potter and the main characters from this story
Chapter One:
"Bye mom," I said hugging my mother. "Bye Hugo." I patted my little brother's head. "Good luck Rose." My dad said, he gave me a hug. I smiled.
"Have a good year, if there is anything you need send me an owl, I'll see you at Christmas." My mother said she kissed me and patted me on the shoulder. I nodded and turned and jumped on the Hogwarts train.
"Rose!" Albus cried, waving to me, I ran over to him.
"Hey Albus." I said sliding into the seat beside him.
"Hey Rose." "Where's James?"
Albus laughed, "He went to find Teddy and Victoire." I rolled my eyes, Teddy and Victoire were two fifth years, Victoire was my cousin, my dad's brother's daughter. Teddy Lupin was my mom and dad's third year defense against the dark arts teacher's son.
"Hey," Albus said suddenly, "What kind of pet did your parents get you?" He asked, sliding an owl cage into his lap. A dark brown owl sat in the cage. I smiled at Albus.
"Nothing dad said I don't get one till second year." Suddenly James came bursting threw the door.
"Oh Hi Rose." He said, behind him came Teddy.
"What you couldn't find Victoire?" Albus asked.
James frowned, "Victoire wouldn't come she wanted to hang out with her friends."
"Hey Rose." Teddy said sitting down across from Albus and me, James sat across from Albus. I was a little freaked out all by guys. Suddenly there was a knock on the cabin door, Albus flung it open, A kid with a blenched blonde hair stood there.
"Hey is this cabin full?" He asked, eyeing all of us.
Albus elbowed me. "That's Draco Malfoy's son." He whispered.
"Who?" I asked.
Albus stared at me. "My dad's worst enemy in school." He said.
James shot Albus a look. "ALBUS." He hissed. Albus crossed his arms.
I looked up at the boy, "No, we aren't full." I elbowed Albus and shoved myself against the window, and the boy slid into the seat beside Albus.
"Hi, I'm Scorpius." He said, He looked around at us,
"I'm Rose, Rose Weasley." Scorpius nodded.
"I'm Albus, Albus Potter." Albus hissed at him.
"Oh the Potters dad tells me all about you guys and you have another brother right?" He looked over at Teddy and James.
"That's me James Potter." Scorpius nodded again.
"Named after your grandfather, my grandfather went to school with him." He looked at Teddy.
Teddy smiled, "I'm Teddy Lupin, I was your father's third year defense against the dark arts teacher."
"The werewolf!" Scorpius cried.
Teddy smiled. "Yeah."
"Are you a werewolf?" Scorpius asked.
"Yep, but the school makes me take potions to keep me Human and I am an Metamorphmagus."
Just then The Hogwarts express took off with a jolt and I slammed against the window. "Ow." I moaned.
"Are you okay?" Scorpius asked.
I smiled and I rubbed my head, "I'll live." Scorpius nodded. Albus turned to James.
"James what happens when we get to Hogwarts?"
James laughed, "You get sorted into a house, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, or Hufflepuff."
"I want to be in Gryffindor." Albus said dreamily.
I sighed, "I want Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, both my parents were in Gryffindor but my mom told me Ravenclaw is for the smartest of the smartest witches and wizards." I said.
Scorpius nodded, "My father said all the wizards in my family have been in Slytherin." Albus went pale.
"I hate Sly-" I elbowed him to make him stop talking. "Ow." He muttered rubbing his rib cage.
"Just like your mother." James laughed. I looked at him. "Aunt Hermione loved to hit my dad and your dad when they were kids." I laughed. I looked out the window and back at the boys.
"You might want to put your robes on now, we will be at Hogwarts any minute. All the boys ran to get their robes. I sat now in the empty cabin wondering what house I would be in. Slowly the boys came back in, Scorpius first, then Albus and James, and finally Teddy.
Teddy glanced out the window, "I better go find Victoire, see you guys later." Teddy said and got up and left the cabin, as he left I happen to notice his hair had changed from a light brown to a dark brown.
Albus jumped and took his seat beside his brother. Scorpius shot me a look and I shrugged.
When the train came to a stop and a mob of students rushed out of cabins and I grabbed at James' robe to stop him from being ran over by a bunch of girls, we walked out and gathered our stuff. I pushed my cart forward. "FIRST YEARS OVER HERE!" A voice cried, James shoved Albus.
"That Hagrid, have fun and don't drown in the lake." He laughed, and walked off Albus, Scorpius, and I walked towards Hagrid. He glanced down at them.
"Hello there." He smiled a big smile. I was shocked I had never seen a man this size. "You the potter kid?" He asked pointing at Albus.
"Yes sir." Albus said shaking.
Hagrid laughed, "I'm Hagrid just like I was to yer' parents." He looked to me, "Oh yer mus be Hermione's," He said, "look just like her." I smiled at then he looked at Scorpius. "Malfoy." He muttered. Scorpius rubbed his neck. He looked around all the other first years were standing around looking at each other. "Err, let's go." Hagrid said leading us away. We all pushed our carts behind Hagrid. "Here yer are." Hagrid waved his arm and showed us a bunch boats. "Climb in." He said, I got in a boat with Scorpius and Albus. Another first year girl climbed in.
"Hello." She said. She held out her hand to Albus. "I'm Joanne." Albus shook her hand. Joanne smiled at us. I smiled back.
"Now yer be off." Hagrid said over all us first years. The boat took off and we drifted over the surface of the lake.
"Dad told me one year there was a bad storm and kids were thrown from the boat." Albus said.
"He was like in his fourth year."
Joanne laughed, "Your dad is Harry Potter right?" She asked.
Albus nodded. "Yeah he is."
Joanne laughed, "I'm Cho Chang's daughter, you dad had a huge crush on my mom when they were younger."
Albus nodded, "Yeah you do look a lot like your mom."
Joanne laughed, "Tell your dad my mom says hi."
The boats all the sudden stopped, "Oh my gosh." Joanne gasped I looked up and in front of us lay the Hogwarts castle. Albus, Scorpius, Joanne and I climbed from the boat. Hagrid got out of a boat and walked to the front of the first years, he led us up to the front doors of the Hogwarts castle. He yanked them open and led us inside. Inside stood a women, she wore a dark green robe and a dark green wizard hat to match.
"Hello." She said in her hand she gripped a old tattered wizard hat.
"What's that for?" Albus whispered.
"I am Professor McGonagall, headmaster, please follow me in a straight line." She clapped her hands and we all shoved into a line. She turned and the line started moving. Professor McGonagall led us into a room.
"The Great Hall." Albus choked from behind. The older students were already sitting at tables. James waved at us from over the head of Teddy.
"Good luck." He whispered at we slid past him. Professor McGonagall, got up in front of us and set a four-legged stool on the ground. She sat the old hat on the stool. We all started at it.
"What's going on?" Scorpius asked. I shrugged, then a long tear opened at the bottom of the hat and two slits opened above that. The hat blinked and broke into song. I couldn't believe it the hat was alive! When the hat finished, everyone clapped and cheered. When the clapping died down, Professor McGonagall cleared her throat.
"When I call your name come sit on the stool and put sorting hat on, it will call out your house and please have a seat with that house." She said, she unrolled a piece of paper, "Creevey, Mark!" She cried, a little boy with dirty blonde hair ran up. He slid the hat on and then the hat blinked once more and yelled, "HUFFLEPUFF!" The Hufflepuff table exploded with cheers the little boy turned and ran down to the table.
"Weasley, Rose!" McGonagall yelled, I stepped forward, my legs felt like jelly. "Another Weasley." McGonagall said. I smiled and sat down on the stool. I slid the hat on my head. "Oh another Weasley." It cried in my ear. "Hmmm but part Hermione, so smart I see just like your mother." It said. " GRYFFINDOR!" It yelled, I smiled at pulled it off my head and ran down to the Gryffindor table.
"Good job Rose." Teddy said, his hair was now a blondish color.
"Yeah." Victoire said. I looked up back at the stool and girl with fuzzy black hair was running to another table.
"Great another Slytherin, just what we needed." Teddy said.
"Boot, Joanne." Professor McGonagall, cried, Joanne ran up and put the hat on her head. It cried out, "RAVENCLAW!" Joanne pulled the hat off and smiled and ran to the Ravenclaw table. Joanne smiled at me from the Ravenclaw table. Victoire watched the next couple of kids with interest, lots of them were sent to Slytherin.
"Darn those Slytherins." She whispered.
"Malfoy, Scorpius." Professor McGonagall called, Scorpius climbed on to the stool and put the hat on his head. It sat quiet for a second and then yelled out, "SLYTHERIN!" Scorpius got up pulled the hat off and smiled at the crowd of people, he walked to the Slytherin table. Teddy shook his head. Victoire looked at him and sighed.
"Potter, Albus." Professor McGonagall said, a cheer went up.
"That's my brother!" James yelped, I looked at him, I had almost forgot he was here. Victoire rolled her eyes
"Close it James, he is my cousin." James narrowed his eyes. Albus looked like he was going to be sick, he climbed on the stool and put the hat on. "He is scared silly, he doesn't want to be in Slytherin." James whispered, it was quiet for awhile and then hat opened its mouth. "GRYFFINDOR!" It yelled. Albus ripped the hat off as fast as he could, and almost tripped as he ran to the Gryffindor table.
"Way to go Albus." I said giving him a hug, Victoire rubbed his head and James and Teddy gave him high fives.
A few more kids were sorted half of them were Gryffindor and then the room fell quiet as the last kids (Jones, Elizabeth. RAVENCLAW!) got to their tables. Professor McGonagall smiled at us. "Now that you are all sorted, I have a few announcements before the fest starts," She pointed at the table behind her.
"That's the staff table." Teddy whispered.
"First the teachers you all know," She pointed, "Professor Longbottom, Herbology, Professor Slughorn, Potions, Madam Hooch, Flying, Professor Vector, Arithmancy, Professor Binns, History of Magic, Professor Lovegood-Longbottom, Divination, Professor Sinistra, Astronomy, Professor Flitwick, Charms, Professor Hagrid, Care of Magical Creatures, Professor Bortle, Muggle Studies, Professor Hexley, Runes, and Professor Plonk, Transfiguration," She took a deep breath, "And I'm happy to introduce Professor Droughtfare, taking over the Defense Against the Dark Arts position, since Professor Cackley suffered extensive limb loss due to a particularly nasty snapping toilet."
The room burst out in laughter. "A snapping toilet?" Albus asked "Does that happen often."
Teddy shrugged "Not really, but none of out Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers last long, most die in a year or retire."
"Die?" Albus cried.
"Yes die." Victoire said as the plates in front of us magically filled up with food.
"Yay! I'm starving." James said, reaching for the food. We all were starving, we ate quickly and when the plates were cleared and everyone was done. Professor McGonagall got up.
"Ok time to go to your houses, first years please follow your table. Teddy winked at Albus and me.
"That would be me. We got up and made our way out The Great Hall. Teddy grabbed Victoire's hand. James rolled his eyes. I smiled, we walked up a like thousand flights of stairs. Till we got to a huge picture. "Guys meet the fat lady." Teddy said, a fat lady stood in front of us.
"Oh! First Years!" She cried happily. "Password?" She asked.
"Magic Dust." Teddy said and the picture flung open. "Come on guys." He said, we slipped into the hole behind the painting.
"Whoa." Albus gasped.
"Welcome to the Gryffindor common room." Teddy said he grabbed Victoire's hand again, patted both Albus and I on the head and walked away.
"Albus, Rose!" James cried, he gave his brother a hug and then me.
"Hey James." I said.
"Welcome to our common room." He said.
It was huge and all of Gryffindor was in this one room. "Where do we sleep?" I asked, James laughed and pointed.
"You sleep in the same room as the rest of the first year girls." Everyone else in Gryffindor looked like they were going to be up for awhile, but I was really tried so I walked threw the door James had pointed out. My stuff sat in front of a bed. "Guess this is mine." I muttered.
"It is." A voice said, I spun around, a girl stood there she had light blonde hair and green-blue eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry, I scared you." She said before I could get a word out, "I'm Pippa Longbottom," She said sticking her hand out, "You are Rose Weasley," She dropped her hand before I could shake it, "I read your name off your stuff. Yes my father is Neville Longbottom and my mother is Luna Lovegood, your mother and my mother didn't get all to well, Your father didn't talk to my mother much and Harry Potter. Your Uncle, he was really nice." Pippa stopped talking all the sudden and stared at me. "Oh and one last thing, I have a brother he hasn't stared Hogwarts yet, I think he is the same age as your brother Hugo. His name is Freddy." Pippa blinked and smiled at me.
"Whoa, you talk fast." I said, Pippa nodded and sat down on her bed which was right beside mine.
"You look like Hermione." Pippa said.
"Everyone tells me that I'm just like her." I said, Pippa smiled.
"People say I am a exact copy of Luna only I share my father's eyes." I thought for a second, "Don't your mom and dad teach here?"
Pippa nodded "Father teaches Herbology and mom teaches Divinations."
"What is Divinations?" I asked.
Pippa smiled, "Studying the future, your mother hated it so much." I laughed because I could see my mother fighting back during Divinations, she was so all about the facts. Pippa smiled, "Ever since Harry married Ginny I think the Weasleys and the Potters are going to over run this school." She said.
I laughed, "I know I have Uncle Harry, Aunt Ginny, Uncle Percy, Uncle Bill, Uncle Charlie, and Uncle George all our married and all have kids."
Pippa smiled, "Have you meant Cho Chang's daughter?" She asked, I nodded, "My mother and her mother were friends, both were in Ravenclaw, and you won't believe it but you Uncle Harry loved Cho, loved her a lot. But some how when he was fighting You-Know-Who he met Ron's, your dad's sister. I mean ever since Ginny had learned of Harry she had a huge crush, but I think after Cho Harry saw how real it was.
I laughed, "Mom tells me all the time how freaked out dad was when he found out that Uncle Harry loved Ginny." Pippa laughed, we kept talking and talking till the rest of the first year girls came upstairs saying that it was time to go to sleep. I yawned and laid down in my bed. I soon was fast asleep.
In the morning I got up and rubbed my eyes, Pippa lay out on the bed, the cover not over her. Her hair was pasted to her face and her legs were sprawled out over the bed. I got up and poked Pippa. "Pippa wake up." I said. Pippa rolled over in her sleep almost kicking me in my stomach. "Ok, then." I said and left her alone and I started getting dressed. Once I was dressed I ran down into the Gryffindor common room.
"No James you are such a liar." Albus was crying at his brother, James was laying in a big chair his feet tossed over the arms. I rolled my eyes.
"What are you fighting about you two?" I asked coming to stand beside Albus. Albus looked at me.
"Rose James says that we have to fight trolls!" I rolled my eyes and smacked James in the arm.
"OW! That hurt!" He cried rubbing his arm, "He is lying, Albus don't believe him." I said, then I looked down to James, "When is breakfast." James smiled at me
"As soon as Teddy and Victoire wake up." At that moment Teddy came stumbling into the common room.
"Morning he muttered. His hair was a mess and he had on his top backwards. I was about to point this out to him when Victoire came walking into the common room. She spotted Teddy and started laughing. "What is it?" Teddy asked, I smiled and pointed at his top. "Ah!" He yelped and turned his top back to its right place. Victoire laughed at his face.
"Aw Teddy." She said coming to wrap her arm around him.
"Barf." Albus whispered to James, I elbowed Albus in the rib cage.
"It's sweet," I whispered as Teddy kissed the top Of Victoire's head, "You will find love one day Albus."
"Can we go to breakfast now?" James asked. Teddy laughed and we headed out the common room. We made our way down to the great hall. We went to sit at the Gryffindor table and on the way there we had to past the Slytherin table. Most glared at us, but Scorpius smiled at me and waved, I gave a small wave back and Albus made a face. "How can you like that guy!" He cried as we sat down, "I mean mortal enemies our parents and his parents." I looked back at Scorpius as I grabbed some bacon.
"He isn't bad." I said. Albus took a bite of his eggs
"He is terrible." He said and then turned to James, and they got into some fight about dragons, but I wasn't really paying attention I was watching Scorpius eating breakfast, he talked to some of the other Slytherins but for the most part it looked like he sat quietly. Once I was finished I crossed my arms and glanced down at my brand new schedule. "MAN!" Albus cried, "We have Herbology first thing, with the Slytherins."
I looked at mine, we sure did, "And after lunch we have potions with them." I said. Albus crossed his arms. and I elbowed him in the rib. "Stop it Albus." I said and got up, Albus jumped up after me. I opened my bag and made sure I had my books and walked out of The Great Hall.
"Do you know where you are going?" A voice asked, I spun around to a face a figure. He smiled down at me. Albus had come to a stop behind me.
"Whoa a real ghost!" He said, the ghost laughed.
"Yes, I'm Nick, but most people call me Nearly headless Nick." I shot him a questioning look.
"Why do they call you that?" I asked, Nick laughed and took his head in his hands and shook his head, the flung off and lay hanging.
"That's gross!" Albus cried, I laughed and punched him in the shoulder. Nick put his head back on and smiled.
"So where you going?" He asked as he tried to put his head back on.
"Herbology," I said, "and we have no idea where we are going."
Nick laughed and pointed, "Go that way." He said. "You have to go out and down the hill but, you'll get there."
I thanked Nick and lead Albus out the way Nick had pointed us. I walked down the hill a reached a green house. "I guess this is it." I said, I leaned against it trying to look in. I could see nothing, I stood there reading threw my book. When there was a cold laugh I looked up. Scorpius and his gang were coming down the hill.
"Mini Granger." A boy laughed. "Reading her books!" He said shoving the book out of my hand.
"Hey!" Albus cried, running to the guy. He pulled out his wand and held it inches from the boy's face. Scorpius stood there a didn't move to shove Albus or the boy. The boy backed up throwing up his hands. "Farther." Albus said he pointed his wand at the book. "Pick it up." He said, the boy scared like bent down and picked up the book. He handed it to me and I nodded. Scorpius met my eyes and smiled and I smiled back and opened my book. I started reading when I heard feet. The rest of the class was jogging down the hill, the Gryffindor kids were in one group and the Slytherin kids were in a different group. The came down and the Gryffindor kids stood as far as the Slytherin kids as possible. I shook my head and buried my nose back into my book. There was a new set of feet steps, I looked up a man with brown hair and eyes the color of Pippa's was running towards us. He had books in he hand and he was tripping over his own feet as he ran.
"I'm so sorry I'm late." He said opening the green house door and letting us all. "Gryffindor on one side and Slytherin on the other." He cried as he rushed around counting pots and setting books down. I stood beside Albus and across from me stood Scorpius. Albus made a face at this and I elbowed him again in the rib cage.
"I think you broke a rib." Albus muttered, I rolled my eyes.
"Okay, Okay, quiet down." The man yelled, we all turned to look at him, "I am Professor Longbottom, also the head of Gryffindor," all the Gryffindors let out a cheer. "Ok, well this is Herbology, you will learn all about magic plants in this class." Professor Longbottom said,
"No duh." One Slytherin girl whispered.
Professor Longbottom looked at her, "Five points from Slytherin." He said, I raised my hand.
"Yes Rose?" He asked, I put my hand down.
"Professor Longbottom, what do you mean when you say five points from Slytherin?" I asked, some Slytherins chuckled.
Professor Longbottom smiled, "That is a good question ten points to Gryffindor and five more points from Slytherin," He said shooting the Slytherins a look, the Slytherins groaned, "Well Rose, there is a house championship and how the winner is decide it by how many house points the houses have." I nodded. "Now moving on I would like for all you to open to page five hundred and six." He said.
After Herbology Albus and I walked back up the hill. "What now?" I asked.
Albus looked down a his schedule. "History of Magic with Professor Binns and the Ravenclaws," He groaned "James, says its taught by another ghost and it is so boring." He groaned. I rolled my eyes. "I know that look, but I'm pretty sure I can trust James on this, even dad said he sort of fell asleep in history." I shook my head. We walked into the castle and up a billion flights of stairs and then down a hallway. We reached the classroom just as Professor Binns did. He came floating down the hall and smiled at us and opened the door.
"Enter." He said in a monotone voice, as we shuffled in I spotted Joanne and so did Albus. He waved and I rolled my eyes.
"Does Albus have a little itty bitty crush on a Ravenclaw girl?" I asked.
Albus crossed his arms. "NO!" He cried a little to loud, Joanne giggled. "Rose." Albus pouted, and I smiled. I took a seat in the front of the class and Albus sat beside me.
"Do you have too?" I asked, nodding towards the seat.
"Yes." Albus said.
"Ok quiet down." Professor Binns said. All of us looked up at him. "Ok first we are starting with the biggest wizard war of time." He said, the class looked at each other.
Albus raised his hand "Sir?" He asked, after Professor Binns pointed to him, "Do you mean the wizard war where my father, mother, aunts, and uncle were in."
"You are Harry Potter's son aren't you?" He asked, Albus nodded. "Yes that is this war."
"Where they defeated You-Know-Who!" Joanne cried out, Professor Binns nodded.
"You can call him by his rightful name now, Voldemort." The class let out a collective gasp. "There is nothing wrong with saying his name, now he is long dead all the teachers who were that day can tell you, ask Professor Longbottom he fought that year."
"He did?" I asked.
"He did." Professor said, "He was very brave, and no offense to him, during his time at Hogwarts, Longbottom wasn't the best student. He was failing most classes, couldn't make a potion to save his life. He did very well in Herbology and that was it. But in the last battle here at Hogwarts, Longbottom fought harder then anyone, he gave Harry enough time to find the last of the Horcruxes and have them destroyed." We all were on the edge of our chairs, wait for him to tell us more. I mean it wasn't like most of our parents weren't in the war, some of us had family die in it, but every time I asked mom or dad to tell me dad got all teary and mom shooed me off. Professor Binns laughed under his breathe. "This is the best history class I have had in years." He said.
After history it was time for lunch, Albus, Joanne and I walked down to the Great Hall. Joanne waved goodbye to us and went to sit at her table. Albus and I walked over to the Gryffindor. James, Teddy, and Victoire were already there. I sat down beside Victoire, she smiled. "So how was your first classes?" She asked.
"Good." I said, as the plates filled with food I reached over and grabbed some and started to eat. I glanced at the Slytherin table but Scorpius didn't look at me. After Lunch I got up and walked back the Gryffindor common room I got my text books and headed back towards the Great Hall. Albus was standing outside looking bored. I rolled my eyes and together we headed down into the dungeons for potions. As we walked it got colder and colder. And when we reached the dungeons, the rest of the Slytherin class was standing there. "How they get here so fast?" I asked.
Albus shivered, "They live down here in this creepy place." A nearby Slytherin girl with brown hair with blonde streaks and light green eyes turned her nose up to Albus. Albus frowned at her and held her hand up in a threatening gesture.
"I can kill you in a flash." She hissed, Albus backed up. The Slytherin girl smiled, and licked her teeth which were sharp. "Mary by the way." She said looking up, I looked Professor Slughorn was coming down the hall. As soon as Professor Slughorn opened the door, Mary shoved past Albus. "I think your cute." She whispered, Albus looked faint.
"Great!" He cried, "I have some freaky Slytherin chick who likes me." I laughed and turned to look at Professor Slughorn. He went on and on and on and on about potions and what he expected out of us, I thought it was worst then History. After potions Mary winked at Albus and Albus shivered. I laughed at him. "It's not funny Rose." He said as we walked to our last class of the day. As we were walking a shadow caught my eyes, I looked to see a wave of blue hair flashing into the shadows. I walked forward quietly. What I found made Albus gasp. Teddy Lupin was standing snogging Victoire. His hair flashing colors from a deep dark red to a light icy blue. Victoire was smiling. Albus and I stood there frozen and all the sudden Teddy's hair froze to a red color he spun around to look at us. "OH MY GOD," He screamed, "How long have you been standing there?" He asked.
"Not long." I said bowing my head, I could feel my face turning as red as Teddy's hair.
Victoire crossed her arms, "That's so wrong," She said, "You guys were spying on us!"
"We weren't spying!" Albus cried.
"Yeah, I thought Teddy and his blue hair was some sort of monster." I was just looking. Victoire crossed her arms.
"Move along then, go to your last class." Victoire said, Albus and I bowed our heads and walked down the hall towards Transfiguration. When we got there the classroom door was opened and Professor Plonk was already there. Albus and I took our seats quickly and waited for the lesson to start.
