"Slytherins follow me!" The head boy yelled. Albus walked with the rest of Slytherin house looking down at his feet.

"Hey." Someone poked Albus in the back. She had hair that stopped at her chest and her bangs that covered her eyes. She was a little bit shorter than Albus, but not by much.

"Juniper Parkinson" She held out her hand.

"Albus Potter." And they shook.

"I don't know why everyone is giving you these weird looks, it's quite mean really." Juniper took her hand and swept her hair out of her face, revealing her oak brown eyes.

"I'm a Potter. Everyone in my family was in Gryffindor so -" Juniper had cut him off.

"To hell with that! Why must everyone be so concerned about blood? Does no one trust the judgement of the sorting hat?" She looked very cross, Albus tried his best to calm her down.

"I don't really care, it's everyone else who does." Albus said looking at her clenched fists.

"People have to realize that when wizards cared for blood, all we did was separate us from one another. Rather than being the same blood, we treated each other as different bloods. That is what tears us apart." Juniper murmured angrily. Albus decided that she was a bit loopy and walked away from her only to accidentally bump into Mollis Knobbery. When she turned around to face him, she went wide eyed and passed out. Was everyone in Slytherin this odd? Albus walked away slowly. Soon, Scorpius noticed that nobody was making smart remarks about what he had said. He turned around to find Mollis on the ground. He went down on his knees and shook her awake. When she opened her eyes she bolted up and quickly conjured up a lie.

"I - uh - tripped over myself. Clumsy is what I am." She said, soon realizing how stupid that must have sounded. Soon enough they were in the Slytherin common room.

"Just what I expected." Mollis said as she plopped onto the couch and put her legs up. Then she turned around to look at Scorpius.

"Oh, sorry did you want to sit?" She asked.

"Oh no - you're fine." But Mollis put her feet down anyways and patted the empty couch space next to her. Scorpius came over and sat next to her.

"So what were you going to ask me on the train?" She asked.

"Oh, nothing." He hesitated. Then Mollis pushed his arm.

"If you don't tell me, I'm not afraid to hurt you." She said playfully, but at the same time held up her fist. Scorpious sighed.

"It's going to sound really cheesy."

"Oh, do tell. I beg of you." She rested her chin on her hand.

"Fine. I was going to - going to ask-"

"Spit it out." Mollis crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.

"I was going to ask if you would be my friend." He almost said in a whisper as he scratched his head. Mollis broke out into laughter.

"I told you it would sound cheesy!" Scorpious said angrily, he tried to get up, but Mollis pushed him back into his seat.

"I didn't realize it would be that cheesy!" She put her hand over her mouth, and after a few minutes of giggling, finally stopped. Scorpius rolled his eyes.

"You're - You're -" He began. Mollis quickly jumped in.

"The bestest friend you ever had!" she said as she gave him a playful punch. Scorpius wasn't as annoyed with her anymore. He was glad to have a friend.

"Anyways, we should be getting to bed." Mollis said as she got up. She turned around, gave a Scorpius a smile, and went upstairs.

"I thought that maybe, just maybe, you would be put in Ravenclaw." Belle said as she scarfed down another chocolate frog.

"My mother thought she would be sorted there too, but there's too much bravery in our blood. That we are more Gryffindor than Ravenclaw. At least, thats what my mother said." Rose said as she sat on her bed. Belle grunted.

"Another Morgana?" She said angrily as she looked down at the card.

"Why do you get so worked up about those things? Rose asked. Albus was crazy about those cards too. Rose even tried collecting them at one point, but decided there was no point in them. You could find more information and pictures about all of the wizards and witches on the cards at the library.

"I don't know." Belle shrugged as she stuffed the cards in her pocket into a small tin box.

"Better get some sleep. Tomorrow is our official first day of school." Rose said as she climbed into the covers. She let out a yawn.

"Can you teach me a spell?" Belle asked, giving Rose a hopeful look.

"Why? We are probably going to learn a bucketload of spells tomorrow." Rose sat up.

"I don't know. I guess I just want to get ahead of the game." Belle said as she took her wand out from under her pillow.

"What makes you think I know any spells?" Rose raised an eyebrow.

"Well, you read quite the number of books on the train. Figured that you might know a couple spells." Belle said as she waved her wand around, she let out a sigh.

"Please?" She pouted and gave the typical puppy dog face.

"Fine, but just a simple spell. Nothing too advanced, and, don't tell anybody about this." Rose said as she shook a finger at Belle. Belle nodded at her. Rose looked around too see if any of the other girls were awake before she she turned off the lights.

"Lumos." Rose said as a bright light emerged from the tip of her wand. Belle looked at it mesmerized. Could she do something like that? She was obviously capable since she was sitting in Hogwarts. She held her wand out.

"Lumoz." Belle said in a hushed tone. Nothing happened.

"It's okay. It was your first time. Next time, try to pronounce the S more like, well, an S. You're saying it like it ends with a Z." Rose reassured her. Belle held her wand out again.

"Lumos" It lit up.

"Good job, goodnight." Rose laid down in her bed. Belle couldn't wait to learn more. She was excited to spend the next seven years of her life at Hogwarts.
