Well This is New Ch 2

Rose POV

With all the trunks in the trunk of the car, and the rest of my family in our Toyota minivan, it's time to go. Mom sat in the front passenger seat, to help me, Dad and Hugo sat in the back hopeing that they won't die.

"I'm so excited. Okay, so first I have to put the car in reverse right mum?" I look towards my mother for approval.

"Well first you must put down the emergency break, and then you can put the car in reverse. Just make sure before you do change the gear, put your foot on the break." I follow mom's directions exactly, I even remembered to look both ways before exiting the driveway without mother reminding me.

"So far so good Rosie!" Hermione is proud of me on how fast I was able to learn this summer. I remember when mom tried to teach dad how to drive…let's just say that isn't something the family likes to talk about. After a few missed turns, and some harsh breaking, the Weaslys were able to make it to King Cross all in one piece.

"Thank Merlin I'm alive!" Hugo screamed up towards the heavens, soon after there was a hard slap at the back of his head.

"Let's see you do any better dingus!" I scream at my brother, my face red. Das is able to tell that I'm about to have a fit.

"C'mon Rosie you know he was kidding, I think you did amazing!" I smile towards dad, and kiss him on the cheek.

"Thanks daddy!" Hugo and I take our trunks from the back of the car and enter the station. Like every year on September 1st, the station was packed with students and their families.

When my family and I pass the threshold to enter Platform 9 ¾ , only one family matters to me, mine. The Potters, and Weaslys, are easy to spot, so my family and I walk over. My parents were discussing boring work related things before I sport my fellow 7th year Weaslys, Lucy, Dominque, and Roxanne; however, there was one missing from our group.

"Where's Albus?" I ask my cousins. Albus is the only male in our group, he is also the only Slytherin. Molly, Albus, and I are the only members of our family that weren't placed in Gryffindor. Lucy is in Hufflepuff, like I said Albus is in Slytherin, and myself well I'm in Ravenclaw.

"Probably off with his boyfriend, Malfoy." A voice spoke sarcastically from behind me, it's none other than my best friend Mary-Anne, a fellow Ravenclaw. Mary-Anne McCornmick is a muggle-born, she has sandy blonde hair cut into a bob. Mary-Anne is also the same height as me, which doesn't mean much since we're only 5 foot 4 inches. Mary-Anne is also very thin and not very curvy. Mary-Anne used to wear glasses, before she finally convinced her parents to let her wear contacts. Mary-Anne is dressed in jean shorts, so short that the pockets are poking out, her Ravenclaw Quidditch jersey, and black flip flops.

"Mary-Anne!" Since she's my best friend, I of course have to hug her and as tightly as imaginably possible, which I do. Mary-Anne, of course, hugs me back, because of the BFF rules. Once Mary-Anee is finished hugging me, she then hugs my cousins.

"Rose, you saw me like two days ago, no need to act like you missed me." The girls laugh at Mary-Anne's joke.

"This being our final year, I declare that we must have as much fun as possible! We shall party, drink, sneak out, and have sleepovers. Rose and do not even think about refusing to take part in the activities, because you simply have no choice in the matter."Mary-Anne said matter-of-factly.

"But Maryyyyyy I'm head girl, how do you think I'm supposed to act? Also this is N.E.W.T year, we have to study!" I stomp my foot and begin to pout, my friends always make fun of me on how little I like to break the rules, unlike the rest of my family. Roxanne put her arm around me to attempt to console me.

"Sweetheart, we will have plenty of time to study, and as Gryffindor prefect I promise." Following Roxanne's lead Lucy put her arm around my hip.

"Darling, as Hufflepuff prefect, I promise too." I couldn't help but smile at my cousins; Lucy and Roxanne are the only ones who understand the difficulty of balancing fun and responsibility. With their promises I am finally able to breathe, after all this is my last year, I guess I can let lose this year and have a little fun.

"Fine, fine, fine. There is one benefit to being head girl though; we will be able to use the common room to do all those things!" My friends and I giggle, thinking of all the mischief we can do, now that we won't have share any of the fun with any unwelcome.

"Speaking of being head girl, who do you think will be the head boy this year Rose? I'm willing to place 5 galleons on Lorcan Scamander." Dominque says, she then grabs her bejeweled coin purse from her backpack.

"Oh you are so on Dom. I predict Richard Darth, I cannot believe you would bet against your own house Dom. Tsk, tsk, tsk, that is poor house loyalty." Roxanne replies, wagging her finger at her cousin.

"I don't know about you guys, but I want Albus to be head boy." I mumble, and start looking at the floor. Ever since Albus was sorted into Slytherin, Albus and I weren't as close as we used to be, especially when he befriended my arch nemesis, Scorpius Malfoy. Scorpius was 6 feet tall, a lean body, shaggy platinum blonde hair, and dark green eyes. I hate every fiber of his being, it doesn't help that I may have a slight crush on him. All of Hogwarts knows that Malfoy is a womanizer, shags anything that has tits and a nice ass. I never understood why sweet Albus would want to be friends with that scum, though it does make me happy when Albus stood up for me when Malfoy is being a dick towards me. Mary-Anne sensing Rose's sorrow, pats me on the back.

"You don't need Al, hun, you got me. Frankly, I think you upgraded." Mary-Anne says smugly. Another twenty minutes passes with idle chitchat about boys, N.E. , and whatever else we could think of. Soon enough it was ten minutes before eleven. Mom called out for all the seventh years to get together to take a picture. Albus comes running over, with his best friend behind him.

"Sorry everyone!" Albus says trying to catch his breath from the running. Mother accepts his apology then directs everyone to stand in our normal sports. Hermione does this every year, groups all the Weasly/Potter kids together by year to take our picture. As the years went on more and more people ended up joining the pictures. Scorpius and Mary-Anne after first year, Lorcan and Lysand Scamander after 3rd year, and Elizabeth Monty, Hugo's girlfriend. For the seventh years, the back row consisted of Scorpius, Albus, Roxanne and Dominque, and the front row was Lucy, Mary-Anne, and me.

"Alright everyone, big smiles. 1, 2, and 3" Hermione hits the button to take the picture, but before the flash went off Albus screams:

"Scorpius is head boy!"
