Thank you to everyone that has read the first chapter of this story. I hope you liked it. I am sorry that it has taken me forever to get this new chapter up. RL got in my way and so did major writers block. I will try to update more regularly in the future.
I still do not have a beta for this story. If you want to be my beta just send me a message.
I hope you like this next chapter, it is a little shorter than the first, but the chapters will get longer throughout the story.
I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. If I did that would be amazing.
Chapter Two: The Platform
(Rose's Point of View)
We arrived at platform 9 ¾ with no problems, but then again the only thing we had to worry about was one of us getting splinched during apparition. I hurried to place my things on the train and then walked back to my mom as we waited for the rest of our "family" to show up. I couldn't wait to see Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny again, as well as their kids, James, Albus and little Lilly. James who is two years older than Albus who is the same age as me, and then Lilly who is two years younger than Albus and I.
"Al!" I yelled out when I saw the group, "Are you ready for our final year at Hogwarts?" I pondered as they walked up to the train to load their belongings.
As he was helping Lilly load her things on the train he responded, "Yeah I'm ready, although I will be sad to say good-bye when it is all over with."
"It's not so bad you guys," James came up behind us and said, "Just think about all the great memories you will have and remember you can always visit after you leave. Professor McGongall, told me just that as we were boarding the train after I finished school."
We stood around talking for a little bit longer, while I began panicking and running around looking for Scorp.
"Rose what's the deal? You look worried." My mother inquired as I walked back to the group after my search seemed worthless.
"I can't find Scorpius and the train leaves in just a few minutes. I looked everywhere, he promised he would meet me before we got on the train. What if something happened to them?"
Rose calm down and get a hold of yourself," my Aunt Ginny spoke from next to my mom. She and my mom had been talking about getting together while we were in school when I began my frantic search. "I am sure he is fine, they will be here any minute." She tried to reassure me.
Just then I spotted Scorp and his family arrive on the platform. "
Told ya." Aunt Ginny teased.
I ran up to Scorp as fast as possible. I was just lucky that he turned around when he did otherwise I would have probably just ran into his back and fallen on my butt. Scorp set his things down, then picked me up and spun me around while giving me the biggest death grip hug I have ever had.
"Rose, I missed you so much. I am so glad we get to spend the whole year together all the time." Scorpius confessed.
I was shocked. I wasn't sure if it was from the butterflies in my stomach that I get, just from seeing Scorp, or the shocking feeling I felt when he picked me up and spun me around, or just pure shock from that revelation. All I know is that I was so happy to hear him say that and all I could respond with was a simple me too. Having apparently lost the ability to talk for a brief moment.
Our parents just laughed at us. We briefly made pleasantries with all the adults before it was time to get on the train. James even promised to come visit after the first few weeks were over since those are the most difficult for all. After looking out the window one more time and saying farewell, Scorp and I headed to the head/prefect cart for our meeting, but not before promising Lilly and Al we would come sit with them as soon as we were done.
Finally we were off to Hogwarts, albeit for the last time. I looked to Scorp.
"Ready to go have fun?" He asked with a smile.
I beamed back at him, "As long as we are having fun together." I returned before we entered the cart for our meeting.
This story will start slow for the first few chapters and then pick up once the get a little ways into the final school year. Review and tell me what you think. I am open to suggestions if you have any. I will give you credit in the story if I use your ideas too. If you really liked the story favorite it so you will be the first to know when new chapter will come up. I will post as often as I can. Enjoy!
