Chapter 1: Girl Meets Hogwarts Express

Hey guys,
This is my new fanfic – Girl Meets Cursed Child. As you will expect – this fanfic will contain spoilers from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I would say Girl Meets World as well but the Girl Meets World concept is only for the characters. Many characters from Girl meets World will be featured, some will be hated and others will be loved. Also Rucas is not featured as well – it will be more Albus and Riley so Rlbus relationship AND Albus, Riley and Scorpius friendship. Also each chapter will begin with a quote either from Girl Meets World or Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

"Friends talk to each other but real friends listen," Riley Matthews, Girl Meets Boy, Girl Meets World

I sighed as I step out of my father's car as I walked slowly behind my family. I didn't exactly relate to my family as I always felt left out. My family – in particular my older brother – Elliot – always talk about Hogwarts or Gryffindor (which is the house that my whole family has been in) or in my father's case – 'the good old days'. I see my best friend – Maya as I entered platform 9 and ¾. "Peaches!" I called out as I ran to my friend and hugged her.

"Pumpkin!" She cries out. We often give each other nicknames – nice nicknames as well. We often call each other after vegetables or shorten our names. "Can you believe it? After years of waiting, we finally get to go to Hogwarts."

I could hardly wait – NOT. I wasn't exactly looking forward to Hogwarts. It wasn't that I love it – or like it or whatever – it was just that I wasn't looking forward to the Sorting – hell even the house I would be in. "Yay, I'm excited," I lied.

"I've been excited since Josh started which was two years ago," she added. Maya has a massive crush on my cousin – Josh which caused me to become uncomfortable, due to the fact of the age difference. "You know what else there is to be excited about? I heard a little birdie told me that there is a Potter in our year. His name is Albus – I think."

That was another thing that annoyed me – my father always speaking about Harry Potter – even my brother who is two years older than me always hanged around James Potter Jr – pulling jokes or whatever.

"Earth to Riley," Maya said, as I got distracted again. "What about you and Lucas huh?" Lucas was my Muggle ex-boyfriend. I broke up with him because I got accepted at Hogwarts. I lied to him by saying I got accepted into a boarding school and stated that I'm pretty sure I wouldn't write.

"What about me and Lucas?" I asked.

"Oh, I don't know," she answered. "You and he were pretty much hanging out with each other while I was third wheeling you guys."

"He is a Muggle and it would probably never work out anyways," I added.

I felt a tap on my shoulder as I turned around to find Lucas Friar - my ex-boyfriend. "Hey, Riley," he said.

"Lucas," I said, sounding surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Got accepted at Hogwarts, of course," he replied. "I didn't know you are going there too."

"Ahoy there, Ranger Rick," Maya says, waving her hands like a sailor.

"Hey, Maya," he says, slowly. "How are you?"

"Terrible, now that you showed up," she adds. "And now you are going to Hogwarts – I'm officially devastated."

"Well, I'm devastated too, Maya," he said sarcastically. He turns to me and says,"I'll see you later, Riles."

"Bye," I said, feeling a bit uneasy. He walks away as I see him entering the train.

"Come on, Riles, it's time to say 'Bon Voyage' to our parents," she said.

I walk up to my parents as I said my 'Goodbyes' to them and Auggie. "Riley, don't do anything drastic at Hogwarts," my father reminded me. "Don't do what your brother, Elliot and James Potter did in their first year."

"Dad," Elliot groaned.

"Elliot," my father adds. "Anyway, he and James nearly blown up a toilet seat."

"It was by mistake," Elliot adds.

"A 'Hundred Points from Gryffindor' mistake," my father concluded. "What I'm trying to say is to be yourself."

"But take away the clumsy," Maya injected, as she walks over to join us. I punch Maya in the arm – knowing that she never felt any pain unless it was extreme.

"We'll see you at Christmas, Riley," my mother added.

I walked onto the train with Maya as we made our way down to see if any compartments were empty. "Damn," Maya concluded. "Every compartment is full." We continued walking as I stopped in front of a compartment which only had one boy – a lonely, blond haired boy, looking outside and being bored. I felt sorry for the boy.

"Maya, we could sit in there," I said.

"No offence, Riles, but I'm not sitting in a compartment with Voldemort's son," she adds.

I sighed. Everyone had various rumours about Voldemort having a descendant – a child. I wouldn't have guess that the boy in the compartment was Voldemort's child. He looked pale, blond haired and had a nose – Voldemort didn't have a nose nor was he blond haired (I doubt that Voldemort had blond hair, I heard that he had dark brown) – but he did have a nose in the past - that was the past.

"There's no way you believe those stupid rumours," I said. "He looks innocent enough."

"'Innocent' really?" Maya says. "He looks as innocent as Voldemort and he wasn't innocent at all. He is Voldemort's son. Believe me, Riles, he is Voldemort's son."

"Well, I don't believe you, Maya," I argued back.

"This is one of the many reasons why I don't like some of your personality," she adds. "You see too much of the good in people."

"Well some people are good," I said. "And that boy in there is probably good person. You probably don't even know nor met him, so how would you know that he is a nasty person?"

"Well, for starters, He is Draco Malfoy's son – Scorpius," she adds. "He isn't a good person."

"How do you know?" I shouted. Nearly everyone looked at us arguing even the boy in the compartment. "You haven't met him. You know what; I don't think we should be friends anymore if you are believing in stupid rumours like that."

"Fine," she sounding equally angry. "I'll go and sit with Farkle and Lucas while you sit and make friends with Voldemort's son."

"Fine," I shouted. I opened the door of the compartment and slammed the door. "Is this compartment taken?"

"No," the boy says. "You can sit here if you want. I'm Scorpius."

"Yeah, I heard, I'm Riley," I added, sounding upset.

"Thank you," he said.

"For what?" I asked.

"For defending me," he added.

"I see the good in people, and I know you are a good person, Scorpius," I said. "Too bad some people don't see that."

"Anyway, do you want some sweets?" he asks. "I've got loads – Shock-O-Choc, Pepper Imps and Jelly Slugs." "I'll have Shock-O-Choc," I said, as I looked towards the window, staring outside. I felt a tear falling down my face as I realised that I just lost a friend – Maya. I started eating my Shock-O-Choc. When I finished the sweet, I heard the compartment door slam as I turned around to see two other people. One is a girl with brown skin and black hair and the other is a boy with dark brown hair and green eyes.

"Hey," the boy said. "Is this compartment…"

"It's free. It's just me and Riley," he says.

"Great," the boy said. "So we might come in – for a bit – if that's okay."

"That's okay," Scorpius says. "Hi."

"Albus," the boy says. The boy looks at me and smiles, nervously. He looked as if he liked me already. "Al. Sorry. I'm Albus."

"Riley," I added, trying to hide the fact that I was upset.

"Hi, Scorpius," Scorpius says. "I mean. I'm Scorpius. You're Albus." He turns to the girl. "And you are…"

"Rose," the girl replies, coldly.

"Rose," he says. "Do you want like any of my sweets?" I looked outside the window again as I started to cry. "Would you like some of my Fizzing Whizzbees?"

"I've just had breakfast, thanks," she says.

"I've also got some Shock-O-Choc, Pepper Imps and some Jelly Slugs. Mum's idea – she says," he says. He starts singing. "'Sweets they always help you make friends'."

"Maybe you shouldn't sing next time," I added. "It may frighten people."

"Maybe," he added.

"I'll have some," Albus says. "Mum doesn't let me have sweets. Which one would you start with?"

I continued staring outside the window as I felt myself starting to cry again. I have now come to the conclusion that I lost my best friend. The friend that maybe more likely to be in Slytherin than me, but then I heard a slap. "Rose, will you stop hitting me?" I turned around to see Rose's face saying that 'she wasn't hitting you on purpose; just the other boy in the room has an evil demeanour'.

"I'm not hitting you," she adds.

"You are," I added.

"See, Riley saw you hit me," Albus adds.

"No, she didn't," she adds. "She was just staring out the window."

"Well, I did hear a slap," I muttered to myself.

"You are hitting me and it hurts," he says.

I notice Scorpius face. He looked upset. Maybe it was what Maya said to him about him being the son of Voldemort. "She's hitting you because of me," he says.

"What?" Albus exclaimed.

"Listen, I know who you are, so it's probably only fair you know who I am," Scorpius says.

"What do you mean you know who I am?" Albus asks.

"You're Albus Potter," he replies. "She's Rose Weasley-Granger. And I am Scorpius Malfoy. My parents are Astoria and Draco Malfoy. Our parents – they don't get along."

My face looked surprised. Albus Potter – the son of Harry Potter in the same compartment as me. He seemed different – attitude wise. He was more quiet, kind and well more what I seemed to think – thoughtful.

"That's putting it mildly," Rose adds. "Your mum and dad are Death Eaters!" I looked away from what seemed like a very long argument – just like the argument between Maya and I about sharing a compartment with Scorpius. I ignored the argument between the three of them."Yes, well, We probably should sit else where. Come on, Albus."

I stared up towards Albus, who locked eyes with me and smiled. "No," he said. "I'm okay. You go on."

"Albus," she says. "I won't wait."

"And I wouldn't expect you to," he adds. "But I'm staying here."

"Fine!" She shouts as she slams the compartment down. I suddenly felt a pit in my heart. I hoped that Maya never meets Rose. She would become more fierce instead of a rebel – I think.

"Could I have a Pepper Imp?" I asked Scorpius, trying to distract my thoughts of Maya. "Sure," he added. "Thanks for staying."

"You need a friend," I added. "Or two or three. Maybe just stick with two."

"I never exactly had any friends," he says. "My dad always kept me away from other people my age."

"Well, I lost a friend today," I said. "Maya Hart. She's a bit like Rose, but more of a rebel. She stole shoes once." The boys looked at me in shock. "Actually no she stole clothes and other stuff a few times. Also had a go at a statue once. Beaten it up so badly that everything on the statue fell off." I started laughing. "It was hilarious to watch actually. Don't get between Maya and a statue."

"What happened to the statue?" Albus asked.

"Nothing," I added. "Except for the fact that Maya had to pay for the damages, which she didn't want to at all, but had to." Albus snorted as I mention this.

"Seriously?" he added. "She's a bit fierce."

"Of course she is," I added. "Anyway, do you prefer Albus or Al?" I see Scorpius pops two sweets into his mouth.

"Albus," he concluded.

"Okay," I added.

"Thank you for staying for my sweets, Albus and Riley!" Scorpius shouted, with steam coming from his ears.
