So this will be a slightly longer chapter, now that the intro is done and over with.
Please review!
Scorpius tried to ignore the fact that Rose Weasley was sitting right next to him on a train seat, not to mention how incredibly close she was. He also tried to forget that they were going to the same place. He must not think of her, he must not think of her. No matter how much he wanted to rebel against his dad, staying away from the Weasleys and the Potters, and even the Longbottoms at that, was something that had been indoctrinated into Scorpius's brain thousands of times. He wasn't going to forget that easily.
Apparently, Scorpius's dad had some problems with these people, the Potters especially. Apparently, Harry Potter, Albus and James's dad, had been rude to his dad on the first day, and Scorpius's dad had hated him ever since. He hated him even more when Harry Potter chose to hang out with likes of Ron Weasley, a poor wizard with a badly reputed family, instead of a pureblooded wizard from the Malfoys. Boy, was Scorpius's dad mad!
After that, Potter and Weasley made friends with a MUDBLOOD, Hermione Granger, who was too smart and was a big know-it-all. She was snarky and rude to Draco everyday and had never been caught, being so smart and all. Potter, Weasley, and Granger became known as the Golden Three after the War, while Malfoy and his little friends were exiled/cast out of Hogwarts. Technically, they weren't, since they had run away after Voldemort came back, but Draco always told the other version, and Scorpius heard it more often.
So there it was. The long family history that everyone had.
And now here Scorpius was. Hanging out on a train compartment with the Potters, and the Weasleys/Grangers, sipping juice and eating sweets from the trolley.
Scorpius had to admit it; James was rude. His father was right about the Potters. Even Albus was cold to Scorpius. But Scorpius knew that his father had been wrong about the Weasleys/Grangers. Rose was nice to Scorpius and even gave him an extra chocolate frog after James took Scorpius's and thrown it out the window. "To scare away the pedestrians." Only… there were none.
Rose was so pretty. Her red hair made her green eyes sparkle and light up, and her smile, though crooked, was honestly just plain adorable. She was kind and her accent was lilted, but also cute. Scorpius was just in love.
FOOOT. The train's whistle was weird and different from any other train's whistle that Scorpius had ever heard. It sounded twice and then an intercom came on.
"Attention, all passengers, students and teachers alike, the train will be arriving at Hogwarts in ten minutes. Please be sure to have the required attire on, and have your wands put away safely. We do not want any hustle and bustle, so when the train stops, please wait until we come over and give you the 'ok' to leave. Thank you."
The intercom clicked off.
Scorpius had to change into his robes, but the other three didn't. They smirked at him, but he ignored them and walked to the bathroom that was stored in the back of the train, and dressed quickly. He walk-ran back to his compartment and slid open the door. Rose smiled at him, and Scorpius's heart sped up 600 times faster.
The train jolted to a stop. Scorpius waited with the others until finally an old woman came and gave them permission to leave. He walked out of the train and looked around in awe.
Music was playing, and although it was dark, perhaps nine or ten in the evening, lanterns were lit up everywhere. There was a big lake with about twenty canoes sitting peacefully on the surface. The lake was rippling with reflections. Hogwarts itself was huge. Scorpius could make out turrets, towers, stairs, and even a drawbridge, complete with a moat. (A/N This is MY version of Hogwarts).
Scorpius saw a big bushy man who was quite large. He squinted and he saw that the man was waving… at him! Scorpius looked around and saw with dismay that he was alone. Everyone else had clustered in a big group in front of the giant man while he had been observing the castle. He quickly ran over, and several boys pointed fingers while the girls whispered amongst themselves. Scorpius blushed, but nobody saw.
The man laughed. "What wer you doing over ther? Just watching the castle? It is a beauty, ain't she?" He laughed again as Scorpius gave a nod. "Don't worry, I'm Hagrid. Nothing to be afraid of. I've been doing this for many, many years." Scorpius wanted to ask how many years, but he feared that that would be rude. So he nodded.
The man yelled to the rest of the children, "Are you ready to see Hogwarts?"
Everyone yelled in consent and Scorpius followed the children onto one of the canoes, hoping that it wouldn't tip over.
So I know that that was a weird chapter, but please don't judge! Review, though, and follow/favorite! Thanks so much! I love you all!
