Chapter 1
...
On the way to the Hogwarts Express, my mum would not stop talking. "Make sure that you two follow all the rules. If I get one letter….. Hugo interrupts her by saying "Don't worry mum, we're not first years anymore." He's got that right. I'm now officially in my seventh year at Hogwarts. I got a letter announcing that I am Head Girl only a couple weeks ago. Mum almost died of pride! I couldn't believe it! Dad went to Diagon Alley straight after and bought me a cat. My dad had always hated cats, but my mum convinced him. I named her Isis. She has chocolate brown fur and blue eyes. Mum and I think that she's the sweetest animal ever and Hugo and dad think that she's just acting like that so once we trust her she will try and kill us or something.
Once we arrived at the station, I packed my trunk and ran through the wall between platforms 9 and 10. I see the scarlet train pull in and I say goodbye to my parents. "Be good Rose, and keep an eye on Hugo," mum says to me. "I will!" I say and hurry onto the train. I quickly find my friends. "There you are!" Amaryllis Finnigan says to me. "We thought you were going to miss the train!" I look around the compartment and see Amaryllis Finnigan and Jessica Longbottom. Amaryllis has curly brown hair and blue eyes and Jessica has blond hair with green eyes. "I couldn't have missed the train; I've got to set an example for the first years!" I say and show my badge. "We knew you'd get that badge!" Jessica said. "Yeah, McGonagall would've had to be mental to not give it too you!" Amaryllis said. Isis meowed in agreement. "How was summer?" I asked them. "It was the same as usual, Jessica replied, "Dad tried to grow a lot of insane plants in the garden. One almost poisoned me! Dad wanted to grow plants for some herbology lessons, but mum put a stop to it right away." I laughed. "Well, that sounds fun!" We all discuss our summers until I see our compartment door slide open. Behind it stands Scorpius Malfoy. "Hello Weasley, I see you've gained weight," he says. I glare at him and ask "Is that really the best insult you can come up with? That's pathetic!" Malfoy looked at me and said "Are you sure that's how you want to talk to the Head Boy." I laugh, "You wish that you were Head Boy Malfoy, but you never will be…" But then, I look at his robes and see a gleaming silver badge. Oh crap!
