An:I don't own anything except a random OC that kind of appeared from nowhere
Albus POV
"I'm Scorpius Malfoy "those simple words where ringing furiously in my head. I was sure that the shock was showing on my face. It was definitely showing on Rose's.
I watched numbly as he stood up to leave. However as he reached for the door to leave the compartment, Rose caught his hand and pushed him back into the seat he'd just vacated. I winced, Rose pushes really hard sometimes.
" But.. I shouldn't be here talking to you " he said even though it was clear my his face that he wanted to stay.
"Nonsense the past's in the past, right Al?" Rose said turning to me. I nodded numbly before finding my voice.
"So Scorpius" I noticed that he flinced when I said his name "do you want us to call you anything, like a shortened version of your name?" I asked smiling. He seemed to relax.
"Yeah, I'll go with Scorp" he replied the ghost of a smile forming on his face. Rose laughed before turning the conversation to Quidditch. After lunch the conversation turned to houses and I asked Scorp what house he wanted to be in.
"My Grandfather wants me to be in Slytherin" Scorp said smiling.
"Yes, of course, but what about you?" Rose asked giving him a warm smile.
"Anything but Slytherin" Scorpius replied laughing "I don't care what he thinks"
Scorpius POV
"I don't care what he thinks " as soon as those words left my mouth I regretted them. Bloody hell. Why did I say that?
Just then the train pulled into Hogsmeade station and we all got off. We followed Hagrid to a lake where some boats where moored.
"No more than four to a boat" called in a boat with Rose and Albus. I noticed a girl walking away from another group who where quite clearly her friends. She sat with us instead. She had emerald green eyes and long wavy chestnut brown hair.
"Hi, I'm Emily Jones" she said smiling excitedly. We introduced ourselves and her eyes seemed to widen slightly. It turns out that she's muggleborn and had done background research when she had discovered that she was a Witch. At that moment we got our first view of Hogwarts. It was even better than how my parents had described it. In what seemed like no time at all we where standing at the front doors which where opened by Neville Longbottom,the herbology professor.
We waited in a side chamber for a bit before being taken in to the great hall. The sorting hat sang a song to us and Professor Longbottom told us that when he called our name we had to put the hat on our head and get sorted.
"Agree,Sabrina" he then called. A girl with short golden hair stepped forward and put the hat on her head.
"Ravenclaw" called almost immediately. A little later Emily was called. She got sorted into Hufflepuff.
"Malfoy, Scorpius" he suddenly called. I stepped out of line and put the hat on my head.
"Well you have a very healthy desire to not be in Slytherin" said the small voice entering my ear. " Because of this there is a good deal of bravery so it should be... " The voice vanished and I waited for it to yell out my house.
"Gryffindor" the hat yelled to the hall a few minutes later. I took the hat off my head and walked towards the Gryffindor table. My head in a spin. Bloody hell. What will my family say?
Albus POV
I watched as Scorp sat down at the Gryffindor ttable. I felt really happy for him as now he might be able to get away from his family's reputation.
"Potter, Albus" Professor Longbottom called. Everyone started whispering at once. They all knew my father's story. The hat was placed on my head and the little whispering voice entered my ear.
"You would be a very good Ravenclaw but you would also be a very good Hufflepuff" said the voice. I wanted to be in Gryffindor knowing that James would never stop teasing me if I wasn't in Gryffindor. The sorting hat noticed this and thought for a little bit.
"Gryffindor" it yelled a few minutes later. I took the hat off my head and sat next to Scorp at the Gryffindor table.
Rose POV
I watched as Al sat next to Scorpius at the Gryffindor table. I was feeling even more nervous now. I glanced at the other people left to be sorted. They looked as pale and scared as I felt.
"Turner,Maddy" called Professor Longbottom. She stepped out of line and put the hat on her head.
"Hufflepuff" called the hat after a few minutes.
"Weasley, Rose" he then called. I walked forward trembling a little bit. People where whispering just like they where with Al. I wasn't surprised given who my parents are. The hat's voice entered my ear.
"You are certainly very smart but you don't want to learn so not Ravenclaw" the hat muttered. "Slytherin would be a good place but so would Gryffindor. Where shall I put you?" The hat paused to think. I had a feeling that I was going to be a hatstall.
"Gryffindor" it eventually yelled to the hall. I ran over to the Gryffindor table and sat with Al and Scorp. There was one person left to be sorted. Jade Young, the final person, was sorted into Ravenclaw. We had an excellent feast during which I talked to my family and the new Gryffindors. Afterwards the headmaster said a few words and we went to bed.
An: I didn't put any new Slytherins in the sorting as I used names from people at school and I didn't feel like any of them deserved to be put in Slytherin. Also can you please give names that you would associate with arrogant people for a future character. It's not urgent but I would like them as quickly as possible please.
