The First Day of School
Rose was terrified. Her first day at Hogwarts and she knew that she would either embarrass herself in some way, probably tripping her own feet and then fainting from the shame. It didn't help that James was teasing her and Al as though he was enjoying the scared look on their faces...which, she reasoned he probably did. She collected her trunk and her cat, Aconite, and her wand which stuck out absurdly from the Wicca basket that kept him in there.
Rose found a compartment quite near to where her parents and their siblings/friends were talking. She went to the window, opened it and started waving to Aunt Ginny.
When Al had joined her, and the train had started to move, a boy about their age with blonde hair and pale skin opened the door.
"Excuse me," he said uncomfortably "But can I sit here?"
"Yeah, course you can, my names Rose and this is Al," said Rose, looking up from Hogwarts: a History. Al waved at him and motioned him to sit down.
"what's your name?" said Al
"Scorpius," said the boy "Scorpius Malfoy."
Rose and Al looked at him properly for the first time.
"Malfoy,"said Rose " As in Draco Malfoy's son?"
"Yeah, but I'm not as much of a showoff as him," he replied, which made Rose and Al laugh and start having genuine conversation until the sky started getting dark. A prefect opened the door and told them to get changed into their robes and hurry up about it, which made them nervous about what houses they'd get sorted into again. Rose went to get changed in the girls loos (... I do not like the idea of a complete stranger watching me get dressed ... even if he did look like a greek god she thought as she walked back to the compartment)
Rose had finally calmed down a little. He seemed nice, he was drop-dead gorgeous, and funny. She would never admit to liking him, however, because she had only just met him, and she did not know if she could trust him yet. Rose was like that, she could never really trust someone unless they had proved it. I suppose i get that from Dad, he never liked talking to people that came from a pure-blood background.
The train slowed and the three of them had a wonderful view of Hogwarts. Rose's insides felt like lead as she heard Al ask
"what house do you think your in?"
" i honestly don't know, my father was in Slytherin, but my mother was in Ravenclaw, my second cousin was in Gryffindor, but my aunt was in Hufflepuff!, although I really want to be in Gryffindor, it looks a lot better doesn't it?"
"Yeah!"
Rose started to daydream as the train slowed.
