Author's Note: I'm the bored cousin of the account's owner, so this is my first fanfic. Please tell me how bad it sucks, or doesn't as you see fit, anything to help my writing skills along is apretiated :D
Disclaimer: I see these things alot, so heres mine, I'm not epic enough to come up with this wicked awsome world of Harry Potter, but the half assed storey line you are about to read is all mine :D
Scorpius Malfoy looked out over platform 9¾ with a sense of disappointment. Sure he was glad to be setting off on the grand adventure that would be his first year at Hogwarts, but one thought kept constantly bugging him.
"Momma, why can't Father be here to see me off as well?"
Astoria looked down at her son with a sad smile on her face, "I'm sorry sweetie, but he doesn't have time… I'm sure he'll be here next time…"
Scorpius sighed, "It's always going to be next time isn't it…" his tone suggesting his statement was more of a fact than question.
Astoria said nothing as she lightly petted her son's head. They sat in silence as they waited for the Hogwarts Express to arrive, watching the crowd of early risers increase until the train finally arrived.
"You've got all your things right?" Astoria asked her son, "If there's anything you're missing, just send an owl and we'll mail it to you."
"It'll be fine mum…" Scorpius said in a subdued voice. His eyes finding a striking red haired girl his age being spun around by her father as her mother watched the merriment with laughter sparkling in her eyes.
Why can't we be like them, thought Scorpius as he boarded the train.
Scorpius made his way to the first empty cart he could find, placing his head in his hands as he tries to contain his anger.
"One of these days, my father is going to at least acknowledge my existence," sneered Scorpius, "Weather or not the daft git wants to or not, I will make him see me…"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to hear something I shouldn't have."
Scorpius whips his head up in surprise at the new arrival to see that she was the stunning red head that was being lifted by her obviously loving dad. On principal alone, Scorpius unleashed a scowl that would've curdled milk.
"Hey, can you at least wait for introductions before you decide you hate me?" asked the girl with a slight smirk on her face, God, she's annoying.
"Scorpius Malfoy…" he grunts.
With eyes sparkling with laughter the girl declares, "I'm Rose Weasly, nice to meet you."
"Can I say I hate you now?"
"I'd prefer you didn't…"
"Bugger off," Scorpius said, growing tired of the girl's presence.
Rose gave up on trying to be friendly, "Okay, what the Hell is your bloody problem? I didn't do anything to you to deserve this rude treatment, and what do you do? You traipse all over a girls feelings, and act like a total ass!"
Scorpius shakes his head and stares out the window, saying nothing until he hears a disgruntled sigh and the click of the compartment door shutting.
"Maybe I shouldn't be such an ass… It's not like it's my fault my family is dysfunctional and it's not her fault that hers isn't…" Scorpius mused, "Besides, she isn't half bad looking…" he shook his head at that, "Stop thinking that way, one of the things father always says is that Weaslys are a bad lot… maybe if I ignore them, he'll accept me more?" Scorpius focused the question on his reflection in the window, hoping that there was some reply he could come up with that would actually work when he heard the door slid open again.
"So you're the Malfoy?"
Scorpius didn't like the tone of the new comer, "Who the hell's askin'?"
The new kid looked like the spitting image of the pictures of Harry Potter Scorpius came to know so well, as anyone would after the whole Dark Lord fiasco. "Albus Potter, you sniveling git, now why did you make my cousin cry?"
"Cause I was annoyed by her."
"And you think that gives you the right to treat her as you did?"
"God, the look on your face makes you look like you have a cousin complex or something," Scorpius said while laughing at the deep, angry red shade Albus was turning, that was, until Scorpius get punched in the face.
"You bloody git! Don-" Albus tried to say before Scorpius punched him in the stomach.
After trading blows and curses for a good minute, the two boys slump down on either side of the compartment, too tired to stand.
"Your good," Scorpius managed to say between gasps of air, "Hell, for a second I thought I'd lost,"
Albus' lips twitched up into a pained half smile, "Ya did lose..."
Scorpius couldn't help but laugh, "Whatever gets you to sleep at night, man."
At this moment, the compartment door opened and a plump old witch stuck her head in, "Anything from the trolley, dears?"
Albus and Scorpius looked at each other for a second, a grin spreading across their face, "WE'LL TAKE THE LOT!"
Rose was in a foul mood as she made her way through the train looking for Albus, "Where the hell did that git get off to?" She had looked everywhere except Scorpius' compartment, and as much as she didn't want to go back there, she did need to find Albus so they could sit together with James and Ted who were already waiting for them. "Honestly, Albus needs to stop being so hot headed, damn it…"
She opens the compartment door to see her battered and bruised cousin and an equally messed up Scorpius joking and laughing amidst a pile of sweets, leaving Rose completely dumbfounded.
"And that's when he said he found his Gryffindor courage at the bottom of his bottle of firewhisky," Albus said through fits of laughter, "Oh, heya cous, want some?"
"What the hell Albus?" Rose asked, blatantly ignoring Scorpius, "We're getting off the train in less than an hour, and you aren't even changed into your robes, not to mention you're leaving Ted and James waiting, and you're sitting around eating this tripe?"
Albus looks at Scorpius, then back at Rose, "Well, yeah…"
Rose shakes her head, "Unbelievable…" She tosses Albus' robes at him and leaves.
"That's not my fault is it?" Scorpius asked uncertainly.
Albus just waved his hand absentmindedly as he tosses his robes on over his clothes, "Don't worry, she'll be fine after you get to know her better."
Scorpius nods, "good, cause feel bad for that whole incident…"
"Its cool man, now come on; let's see what Hogwarts has in store for us shall we?"
They get up and gather what sweets are left and rush off to their first magical year at Hogwarts.
