Kings Cross Station was packed as the Potter Weasley clan manoeuvred overfilled trolleys around the busy traingoers of London. James was up front with Rose, having a laugh as they shadowed muggles, with Ginny calling from the back to 'stop that immediately' before we 'offended someone' and that 'one family member was enough to have in jail!' One of Albus' Slytherin friends had already found him and they were having a good old gasbag, Lily was listening in on a conversation that Hugo was having with Lysander Scamander, Lily had quite a crush on Scamander. And they all made their way to platform 9 and ¾, everything was how it normally was.
They pushed through the hard brick wall onto platform 9 ¾ and found their way over to the rest of the clan.
"Rosie babe, hello" Dominique, Rose's gorgeous seventh year cousin said brightly, leaning over to give Rose a tight hug and do the French two cheek kiss.
"hey Dom, haven't seen you in so long how have your holidays been" Rose replied nonchalantly, it had been quite odd but Dom had decided to go back to France for that year's summer holidays, however in the past she had usually spent her summer holidays with the Potter/ Weasley clan at the beach house.
Dom laughed "well you know how the holiday parties we throw in France usually are, this year we stayed in Bordeaux, and it was wild."
Rose grinned wishing that she had been there with Dom and Victoire, Dom's older sister who Rose was extremely close with.
Victoire and Rose were very similar people and had always been nearly as close as James and Rose, Vic and Rose were both the smartest in the class, didn't like to seem to care too much about things, carried themselves with pride and played Quidditch with fierceness.
"and Rosie! He gave me golden earrings and a camera which printed photos that don't move!" Rose listened to Dom rattle on about her summer fling, as she noticed James stroll over with Albus towards the Slytherin group. Andre was standing in the middle of the group and shook hands with James as they started talking, about the party probably.
During the conversation James looked over at Rose eyeing her with a come here signal that only the two, due to their closeness could understand, Rose gave a curt nod before sliding her hand into Dom's and leading them both over to the group. She eyed Andre as they made their way toward the group, he had grown over the summer his shoulders were wider more muscly and he had a smattering of stubble over his chin, he looked hotter this year, that was for sure it was the way his hair was cut shorter and the colour of his skin was more tan than before. As he talked to James his eyes slid towards Rose as she walked over, she smiled at him but did not go towards him better to draw him in. She instead moved over to stand next to Lance Nott a sixth year, that had always been good friends with her and one of Albus' closest Slytherin mates, Lance and Rose had always gotten on well and she knew for fact that there was something going on between Lance and Dom, she was not sure exactly what though.
"Hey Lance" she said smiling politely, taking a step towards him he grinned before pulling her in for a hug.
"Hello there Red, how was the rest of your summer? Eventful?" he smirked, Lance had spent part of the summer with the Weasley's and the Potter's because Albus brought him along, the Potter Weasley beach house could house all the extended family and more. Lance knew exactly how eventful Roses time down at the beach was, let's just say that boys tend to like girls who wear little red bikinis.
"Oh you know" she said playing along "I didn't have as much fun as some" she coughed and pointed at him.
He chuckled before looking up behind her and noticing Dom, he blushed at seeing her. Lance was not only a Slytherin but a well-known heartbreaker, the sight of his blushing cheeks surprised and perplexed Rose she had in fact never in her life seen Lance Nott blush.
Dom smiled at him before offering her hand to shake "hello Lance" she said shyly, which was unlike Dom also, shy was not a word to describe Dominique Weasley.
"I missed out on spending time with you these holidays where were you?" he asked with a tight smile.
"Oh I was in France, with Victoire" she replied "I just needed time with her before I came back to Hogwarts without her for the first time"
As they were talking Rose felt an arm being slung over her shoulder the smell of his expensive cologne tipped her off as to who it was.
"Zabini" she said turning to face him, her face held a slight grin
"Red, looking good" he said eyeing her up and down. "How were your holidays? It was too bad that you didn't take me up on my date offer" he said pouting at her
She laughed "I was very busy unfortunately" she replied, the letter she'd received had contained a note asking if she would go on a date with him, she'd replied that she was busy
He slipped an arm around her waist and looked her in the eye, "come on Red, we all know you are secretly harbouring feelings of want for me and sometime soon you're going to crack and give me a blowjob"
Rose rolled her eyes, it was the same every time they talked, he wanted her, she didn't want him and he just couldn't cope with the fact that his charm didn't affect her.
"I might Andre" Rose replied with a small shrug "but that would be very unlikely"
Andre grinned "Red, you break my heart every time"
Rose laughed at this, "I don't think it's your heart that would be suffering" she replied with a grin
Andre huffed wistfully "now isn't that the truth" before he was interrupted by none other than his right hand man Dillon Harris
"Rose, lovely to see you" Dill said in his formal British accent, before directing his attention to Andre aswell "I've heard a rumour, about a Malfoy being present at Hogwarts" he said casually as he lit up a cigarette.
Andre looked confused, an uncharacteristic emotion for him "As in Scorpius? Last I heard was that he was living in France studying at Beauxbatons"
Dill let out a puff of smoke as he shrugged "well apparently he's already been tagged by Tamara Bagman's group of slags, I was just talking to the ladies and they couldn't stop gushing about him"
Andre raised an eyebrow "well, well, well, invite him to our carriage, a Malfoy will almost certainly be in Slytherin"
As Andre was saying this James approached "Hey Red, I need you for a second" he said winding his arm around Rose's waist
James exchanged a head nod with both Andre and Dill in means of greeting, before Rose turned to Andre "I'll pop by your compartment on my way to the prefect meeting"
Andre surprised at her initiative to see him, grinned "I'll be happy to see you Red"
Rose smiled to herself as she boarded the train and waved goodbye to her family, she now had a quick catch up with Andre to seal the deal before she would make her way to the prefect carriage, as she was this year's 6th year female Gryffindor prefect
After entering her family's cabin and saying hello to everyone Rose made her way down to Andre's cabin. She was about to slide the door open when she heard voices on the other side talking
"Apparently Scorpius was hot shit at Beauxbatons" said a high pitched girly voice another one piped up
"and I heard that he is like really really smart as well, not to mention that he played seeker for his old school team" the girly voices giggled before other people interrupted them and the conversation turned to Quidditch.
Rose deciding to now make her appearance, pushed the door open to the carriage and the Slytherin kids all watched as Andre shooed one of the slags out of the seat beside him for Rose to sit down.
The slag gave him a dirty look before grabbing hold of her two other friends and storming out of the cabin, now there only sat Andre Zabini, Kirsten Shafiq who sat in front of him, she was considered Slytherin's princess and had an intense flirtation with James, though neither would admit it. The Flint twins whose names were unknown to most and were just called the Flint twins sat in the corner facing each other and making a fly that was sitting on the window dance. Lance Nott sat next to Kirsten and next to him was Rose's cousin Albus who played amazing Quidditch and had his fair share of female admirers though had quite a quiet personality. The only missing member of the Slytherin squad was Dill Harris
"Well hello Red" Andre said as his eyes raked her up and down, sending an unpleasant shiver down her spine.
"Hello everyone" she replied as she slid into the space beside Andre, she was greeted with a chorus of "hey's" and "hello's" before the group fell back into conversation.
Andre took the opportunity to whisper in her ear "it's nice to see your beautiful face here, Red"
"You too Andre" Rose replied, he moved closer to her.
"So how's preparation for tonight's party going?" he asked curiously
"Well funny you ask that" Rose said biting her lip and placing her hand on Andre's thigh "unfortunately I mucked something up and now we don't have any weed for tonight's party"
He squeezed her shoulder looked down at the hand on his leg and weighed up whether he wanted brownie points from Rose or whether he wanted to destroy James' party. He said with a slightly pained expression "well I could get some for you"
Roses face lit up and she placed a big red kiss on Andre's cheek and he grinned slightly he had at least got a cheek kiss from Rose Weasley, Kirsten who watched all of this rolled her eyes at the expression on Andre's face and winked at Rose. Kirsten was the girl that everyone thought was extravagantly gorgeous but were too frightened of, she held herself with poise and a 'couldn't care less' attitude.
"I'll get someone to get Joey right now" he added "oi Flints go get Mccarthur for me" he demanded of the Flint twins who nodded and bustled out of the cabin.
It was at that moment that Dill arrived in the doorway, he strolled into the cabin and sat down in the seats the Flints had just been occupying, a blonde bombshell followed.
"Everybody, Scorpius Malfoy. Scorpius Malfoy, everybody" Dill pronounced as the cabin's eyes were drawn in to the mysterious newcomer
"Well hello everyone" he replied with a smirk as his eyes skimmed over the compartment and finally landed on Rose, as their eyes met she was instantly besotted by the green pools and the way his golden hair was styled short around the sides and curled on top, making her want to run her fingers through it. His skin was bronzed from the sun and his smirk brought out slight dimples in his cheeks. Rose was tempted to melt into a puddle, but restrained herself from such an action, he was going to get a lot of attention from the female population of Hogwarts, Rose thought as she politely returned his smile.
As Andre started up conversation with Scorpius and established himself as leader of the group. Albus and Rose gathered themselves ready for their prefect meeting. As the two were leaving Andre paused quickly to whisper in Rose's ear "meet me in the great hall, I'll have the weed for you" he said receiving a nod from Rose.
