First Year (Scorpius' POV)
I was finishing packing because I always procrastinate. The train was leaving in an hour and we had to leave in ten minutes to make sure we got there on time. I could hear my Mom and Dad talking about what house they wanted me in. Dad, of course was arguing that Slytherin would be best for me but my Mom being the reasonable woman she is was saying I should be in Ravenclaw because I'm quite smart. Honestly I kind of wanted to be Gryffindor but I was going to ask the hat to make me a Slytherin because I didn't want Dad to disown me. My Dad, Draco Malfoy, and I never really saw eye to eye. I'd always had a better relationship with my Mom. My Dad always kind of scared me. He was average height and has platinum blonde hair, so blonde it was almost white. Thank Merlin my hair is darker than his. He has grey-blue eyes and always wears a white or light grey shirt but today his shirt was emerald green, probably because he wanted me to be a Slytherin very badly. He had a pair of blue jeans and green running shoes. My Mom on the other hand had dark brown wavy hair and big brown eyes. She was wearing a long yellow dress and small, black high heeled boots. I however was wear a black shirt, light blue jeans and green running shoes. I heard my Dad call "time to go Scor." I called "coming Dad" and grabbed my wand and threw it in my suitcase. Grabbed my suitcase zipped it up and picked up my owl Archimedes' cage and ran down three flights of stair to the main floor where my Mom and Dad stood smiling. We walked out to the car and drove to Kings Cross Station. When we got there we ran through the barrier with five minutes until the train leaves. "Scorp" Mom says to me "Make sure you make good friends and whatever house you're in, make sure you love it. Here's some candy to share with the people you sit with on the train" she handed me a bag with Bertie Bott's, Chocolate Frogs, Liquorices Wands, Peppermint Imps and Fizzing Wizzbys. "Thanks Mom" I say "I should get on the train now." Dad looks at Mom then at me and said "Scor, she that girl with the curly red hair? That is Rose Weasley. Her Mom is Hermione Granger-Weasley. She will be almost as smart as you but she has a flaw, her Dad is Ron Weasley, Ron was always an idiot in school so maybe that will slow her down. Make sure you beat her on every test Scor." Mom looks at Dad and says "Draco, don't make him hate the poor girl before they even meet." "Mom, Dad" I say "I really should get on the train now. Bye" I hear my parents say "bye Scorp" as I turn away. When I'm on the train I find an empty compartment. People can come to me. When I think about it that Rose girl was kind of pretty. After a few minutes I hear what sounds like a girl and boy arguing in the corridor. It gets closer then I hear "I'm going in this one" from the boy then the door to my compartment opened and a mini Harry Potter was standing there. It must be Albus Severus Potter- Harry Potter's youngest son. He says "do you mind if we sit here?" I respond with "no, not at all" He sits down followed by a girl that looks familiar. "I'm A..." Albus starts to say but I cut him off by saying "Albus Severus Potter. You look a lot like your Dad." He smiles and shakes my hand I look at the girl. It's Rose Weasley. Our eyes meet for a few seconds. They are light blue, not pale blue like mine though hers look like the sky. Her wild, red curls are beautiful and long. She's wearing a purple sweater and blue jeans and blue running shoes. She is really pretty. She smiles and turns her head then says "platinum blonde hair, pale blue eyes. You must be a Malfoy." I smiled and laughed and replied "yes, curly red hair and way too many freckles. You must be a Granger-Weasley. Maybe Rose and Albus will be my new friends I think to myself. She smiles and laughs but then, her expression changes. "Al" she says "his Dad was a death eater how do we know he's not just like him." I look shocked for a second, how could she have brought up what my Dad used to be after the laugh we had? I choose to ignore it and offer them candy. Rose looks at my hand disgustedly like I'm offering poison. Albus takes some but rose slaps it out of his hand. He asks "What was that for?" "His Dad was a death eater Al, what if he poisoned the candy." I was speaking up now. "I'm not like my Dad and I wouldn't let him poison my candy see." I say and pop some Fizzing Wizzbys in my mouth. Rose says "Al, let's go somewhere else." But to my surprise and from the look on her face, Rose's too Albus said "no I think I'll stay here, you go though." Rose stood up and said "Ugh I'll see you at the sorting ceremony, bye Al." Trying to be nice I say "bye Rose, see you at the sorting ceremony." She turns around before shutting the door and says "to you Malfoy, that's Weasley." Then walks out and shuts the door. I look at Albus and say "she's a feisty one isn't she." Al laughs and responds "yes but, she just needs to get to know you then she might be a bit nicer." Then I ask "do you prefer being called Albus or Al?" He responds "Al if you don't mind. What do you want me to call you?" I say "Scor." He smiles and says "ok." I like Scor better than Scorp. I don't know why but I just do. Me and Al talk, laugh and eat for the rest of the ride. I am going to be mean to Rose so she doesn't figure out my secret.
At Hogwarts, Sorting Ceremony
Professor Longbottom takes us into the Great Hall. We walk to the front the first name is called and Boot, Tracy is sorted into Hufflepuff. I hear my friend Crabbe, Justin is Slytherin then another couple names and its Goyle, Gabriel. I heard SLYTHERIN! Gabe sat beside Justin. I'm finally called in about ten minutes. Malfoy, Scorpius. I walk up to the front. As I sit on the stool I see thousands of faces staring up at me. Everything was dark then a heard a voice. "Ahhh a Malfoy" I smirk "hmmm very brave but also cunning." I think, Slytherin I don't want to let my Dad down. I hear the voice say "If that's what you want then… SLYTHERIN!" I sat down beside Gabe. After a minute or two Al was called. I was ready to hear Gryffindor called but instead I heard SLYTHERIN! Everyone was shocked. Some were silent, others were saying "I guess he's not like his Dad." Or "are you sure that's the right kid." Al sits down next to me then Rose was called after a few other first years and we heard what I expected, GRYFFINDOR! Then my friend Zabini, Ashlynn is sorted to Slytherin. Ash sat down beside Al. Al, Gabe, Justin, Ash and I ate and talked then our prefect Sarah Rivera led us to the common room. We were supposed to go to sleep immediately but Gabe, Justin, Al and I as well as the other first year boys, Brian Belby (Marcus Belby's son) Mark Finch-Fletchley (Justin Finch-Fletchley's Son) and Jacob Flint (Marcus Flint's son) stayed up talking.
The Next Morning
I was tired and grumpy from staying up late with my Slytherin friends. There was this girl in my way. I recognized her from the sorting ceremony; I think she was a Gryffindor. I told her to move but she didn't, so naturally I pulled out my wand and said move again. She looked at me and said use your manners. I thought to myself Levicorpus and she was upside down! Then Rose- I mean Weasley appeared. She shouted "HEY MALFOY, PUT HER DOWN!" I said "whatever Weasley" and put her down then walked away. As I walked I heard them talking and laughing. I caught up with Al. He looked tired. His normally bright emerald green eyes weren't shining and were half closed. His messy jet black hair looked even messier than normal. His sliver and green tie looked like he had tied it in the dark, which was true because all of the Slytherin's were tired so we got dressed in the dark. We also caught up with Gabe who didn't look too tired and Justin who looked wide awake. Gabe's green eyes look kind of tired and his light brown hair looked messy for its short length. Justin on the other hand had his blonde hair looking perfect and his light green eyes were shining. "Morning guys!" said Justin sounding like he had gotten twelve hours of sleep rather than three and a half hours. "Justin" Al said "you know you're a great guy but please shut up." "Thanks Al" I said "how can you be so awake?" Justin answered "I don't know it's just who I am." We all sat down at the Slytherin table and ate the left to get our Potions textbooks and head to the Potions classroom.
April Fools
I got up at 5:45am and grabbed the invisibility cloak that I borrowed from Al and the Marauders Map that I borrowed from Al's brother James. I headed to the portrait of the fat lady and put the cloak on. When Weasley came out to go to the library I followed. On the way I sent a tripping jinx at her. She looked confused because she wasn't usually a clumsy person. At the library she ready for an hour. It looked difficult because I kept sending dropping jinxes at her. At 7am we both left. I met Al, Gabe, Justin and Ash and we went to breakfast. Gabe looked at me as we were walking and said "Hey Scor, why did you use mustard as toothpaste this morning?" I responded "I was about to put toothpaste on my toothbrush but then I found a note I left myself that said to use mustard." "Scor, I think you're going crazy mate" Al said. Everyone laughed. As the day went on I was starting to agree with Al. At breakfast I put coffee in my Pumpkin Juice. Yuck! I also kept grabbing the wrong book and every other time I went on the stair cases they changed so I was late to every class. I hate to ask to borrow a book in each class and when I was walking to another class id find the book I had need for the previous class! I kept shouting things like "MY BOOK" or "DO I SLEEPWALK" or even "I'M GOING INSANE!" At Supper I found a note that said to tell McGonagall about my teddy bear. I stood up and saw Weasley and her stupid friends ginning at each other. "MCGONAGALL" I shouted "I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M TELLING YOU THIS BUT" Weasley and the other idiots looked like they were about to explode with laughter. "I HAVE A TEDDY BEAR" I continued "NAMED -BEAR! BUT I HAVEN'T USED HIM I JUST KEEP HIM IN MY SUITCASE! MERLIN WHY DID I TELL YOU THAT!" The entire hall was dying of laughter and my normally pale face looked redder than a tomato. McGonagall stood up and said "thank you Mr. Malfoy for that announcement, even though it was quite bizarre. However I would like to know who the brilliant minds were behind that April Fools Prank" I thought that explains why Weasel and her idiotic friends seemed to know I was going to say something embarrassing. "Because" McGonagall continued "They might not have known but, but whatever a note says on April Fool's Day at Hogwarts, the person who it's meant for has to do it." The Gryffindor idiots burst into laughter. McGonagall looked at the lion losers (I've got so many nicknames for them) and said "very good prank girls, however I need you to say a few words to Mr. Malfoy" WHAT! I thought, I expected them to get detention! Then I hear a chorus of "APRIL FOOLS MALFOY!" from the Gryffin-Fails. I get an idea! "HEY WEASLEY" I shout the idiot-dors look confused "YOU KNOW HOW YOU'VE BEEN TRIPPING AND DROPPING STUFF ALL DAY?" I admit it's not the best prank but that's because I have a secret, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold it I'm not telling yet. "APRIL FOOLS WEASEL!" Weasley's friend Jessica (Yes, the same one I used "Levicorpus) shouted "NOT THE BEST PRANK MALFOY!" They were never going to let me forget this.
