I could see the huge, ruby red train bounding into the platform and my stomach knotted, in a few minutes I'd be boarding that train and making my way to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the first time. I was nervous and excited at the thought of going to this historic school.'Bye Lily, promise to write to us every week' my Dad, Harry said, hugging me.'Of course I will Dad' I forced out a smile 'I won't forget you I promise'.'Ok honey, you better be getting on the train' my Mother, Ginny said, teary eyed.'Yea ok Mum' I said, hugging her and dad.I then walked up to the train and got on, my stomach was still knotted and reality kicked in. I was going to be spending seven years at this school, what if I didn't like the lessons? What if I couldn't make any friends? What if I was sorted into a house I didn't like? I tried to kick these thoughts out of my mind, as I walked down the train trying to find a compartment. I looked in every compartment, but they were all full! I wasn't going to stand up all the way to Hogwarts. I continued down the train and finally saw a compartment that wasn't full. I walked into it and saw a boy with blonde hair, grey eyes, pale skin and a pointed face, reading the daily prophet. He looked up at me and then went back to reading the paper.
'Is it ok if I sit here' I asked, looking at the boy. There was something about him that intrigued me.'Sure, if you want I guess' he mumbled, never taking his eyes of the paper.'I'm Lily Potter, I'm just starting Hogwarts, who are you?' I asked politely.He looked up from his paper and looked at me 'Scorpius Malfoy, I'm a third year'.'Nice to meet you' I smiled.'You too' he looked me right in the eye and smiled back. There was something about his smile, which made my heart skip a beat. I tried to ignore it; I was too young for love!All the way to Hogwarts Scorpius and I just spoke about anything. When he mentioned his father Draco, I suddenly realised that my father knew him. He hadn't really said much about him; apart from that they didn't get on at school. I'd only known Scorpius a few hours, but I already could tell we were definitely going to get on.As the train pulled into Hogwarts, I got up excitedly and was going to walk out of the compartment when Scorpius tapped me on the shoulder, I turned around and looked at him.
'Lily, I know I've only known you a few hours, but you seem like an amazing girl. I really hope you get sorted into Slytherin' he said and then pulled me into a hug. This made my heart beat even faster.'Thank you' I smiled at him and then walked out of the compartment.I found myself smiling to myself, I think I was falling in love with Scorpius Malfoy.
