Rose stood into the great hall of Hogwarts , staring at the ceiling, totally unaware of anything else. She knew it was enchanted , her parents had told her and she had also read "Hogwarts-A History" a couple of times, but she never had imagined it like that. It was the most amazing things she had ever seen.
Somebody said:" Move, you are in the way", others tried to pull her with them, however Rose didn´t notice. She was too fascinated by the ceiling that today was grey, covered with clouds and was enlighten by the lightning from time to time.
Like her mother Rose loved thunderstorms.
Suddenly she was pulled out of her state of trance and ungently brought back to reality, as a boy bumped into her. Rose turned around to look at the causer of the collision, then found herself face to face with none other than Scorpius Malfoy, the boy her father wanted her to beat in every single subject. The boy her father told her to dislike before she even got to know him.
So she could as well start with it. She opened her mouth to snap at him for running into her when her look was drawn to his eyes. They had precisely the same color like hers, the same shape and size. It was like looking in a mirror. It was frightening beyond belief.
" Hey?I´m talking to you! Has our little crash damaged your speech area or what´s the matter?"
Scorpius smirked at the sign of the still speechless girl in front of him and Rose could swear she knew that smirk from somewhere ,too. She just couldn´t put her finger on it by now. Thoughts ran through her head while she desperately tried to figure out why Scorpius Malfoy had her eyes. It just couldn´t be! Everybody had always told her her eyes were unique, that they had never seen anything comparable. Rose had wondered why she hadn´t inherited her mother´s or father`s eyes until she learned from her mother that her grandmother had had the same. She watched as Scorpius gazed into her eyes to check she hadn´t become insane and saw shock spreading over his handsome face and replacing that outrageous smirk.
" You, you have..." , he stammered. " Why did you think I was staring at you like I´ve gone mental?"
Bitter sarcasm. At least she hadn´t forgotten how to use it over the shock. Sorpius shrugged. " I don´t know, maybe you fancied me?", he replied,smirking that strangly familiar smirk again. Damn, where had she seen that before? She couldn´t remember.
" At the age of twelve?" She raised an eyebrow in disbelief. " Dream about it. By the way, what makes you believe you are worth fancying?" With that, Rose Weasley stomped away and went looking for Albus,leaving an incredulous Scorpius behind.
Minerva McGonagall chose that moment to make her appearance and start her speech and soon both students´ heads were occupied with different thoughts. While Scorpius was searching for a tactful way to get away from Anthony Parkinson-Goyle, who somehow reminded him of a moron, Rose was once again worried about the sorting ceremony.
What if she didn´t end up in Gyffindor? What if she and Al were separated? Could they stay friends if she wasn´t a Gryffindor, but a..? But what? " Rose", she told herself, " There is no way that you are not going to be a Gryffindor, Your parents both were. Well, her mother was nearly sorted into Ravenclaw, however, Ravenclaw seemed bearable to Rose. As long as she wouldn´t be in Slytherin, it would be okay. Slytherin house had definitely improved over the years, but still..a Weasley in Slytherin? That was inadmissible.
Rose had been so absorbed in thoughts that she hadn´t really listened to the old hat´s song. She just came back to reality , as Professor McGonagall asked a Miss Anna Allenstore to step for. The sorting began.
Rose grew more nervous as she slowly waited for her name to be called out. The other names passed by in a blur. She only noticed that this Malfoy boy was sorted into Slytherin and Al became a Gryffindor. Finally the Professor called out. "Weasley, Rose". With her knees shaking, Rose stepped for and sat down on the chair. Moments later she felt the flap sliding over her eyes and the noises fading into the background.
"Another one? I swear, you get more difficult to sort all the time" Rose jumped when she heard the hat´s voice in her ear.
" No need to be nervous, darling. Old hattie will find the right house for you, although I have to admitt that you are difficult, very difficult to sort indeed." Rose thought she heart the hat chuckle at his words.
" So, what do we have here...you are without doubt the brightest student I had for quiet some time...your mother´s bravery...her compassion...her thirst for knowledge are here, nevertheless, you are unquestionably your father´s daughter. So, where to put you? ..Mmm, a hard decision, but I think, well, Slytherin might be the most appropriate choice...yeah I think that will suit you best..."
" Slytherin?!" Rose cried out in shock. " That´s impossible!"
" Improbable, maybe,but not impossible",the hat stated " Do you want a hint from an old,wise hat? Nothing´s like it seems . Ánd now, go make your house proud." So the hat yelled." Slytherin".
Then it was taken from her head and Rose was left to face the numerous disbelieving stares. She saw James and Al sitting at the Gryffindor table, mouths open in shock, she saw Hagrid yelling. " There must be a mistake, Rose can´t be a Slytherin" It didn´t help at all. Minerva McGonagall, surprise printed all over her face, slowly said: " So, Miss Weasley, if you please..." she indicated over to the Slytherin table, where her future house mates were glancing at her like she was alien, which was exactly like she felt. Her legs refused to do their job, her knees felt like jelly and she just couldn´t move.
How disappointed her father would be. His only daughter- a Slytherin. Rose fought back the tears.
Suddenly she was pulled away from the crowd of gasping students. Scorpius Malfoy, the boy that stole her eyes, had grasped her hand and was now pushing her gently towards the Slytherin table. " It will be okay",he whispered. " It will be okay". Rose simply shook her head.
No. No, it wouldn´t.
