( A/N the no brooms for first years law has been retracted, but they need permission from the headmistress before they can bring their brooms to the school)

The remainder of that day was spent exploring the castle and meeting new people namely Maddi and Chloe's friends from other houses: from Hufflepuff there was Brianna and Isabel. In Ravenclaw there was Freya, Steph and another Rose. In Gryffindor there was Eliza and Juliet. Rose thought that they where nice people - a little eccentric maybe but still nice.

Just before lunch Rose met up with Scorpius and Al to do a bit of exploring, Al had his fathers map of Hogwarts and the three young Slytherins planned to put it to good use. Al thought that they should go straight to the kitchens to meet the house elves and beg some food from them, and so they did. Upon arrival at the kitchens a sea of curious faces turned towards them. Rose grinned shyly, and a small familiar body separated its self from the pack shrieking loudly " Rosie, Rosie!". Rose gasped in surprise then knelt to return the elf's hug . When Rose straightened she noticed something different about the elf's attire.

"Charli, why are you wearing my dress?"

To her surprise Charli's brown puppy dog eyes filled with tears " When Mistress Rose's parents found our about your house placing your parents flew into a rage and dismissed Charli."

Rose had known her parents would be upset but not this angry, not angry enough to fire Rose's house elf!

" Charli came to Hogwarts so she could continue to work for Mistress Rose."

Rose was touched " thank you Charli - it means a lot to me."

Only Al knew her well enough to know she was holding back tears " hey I have an idea for what we can do today! We can go flying around the Quidditch pitch!" Albus knew that flying always made Rose feel better

"okay."

Hours later when Rose sunk into her bed she was content and hopeful about her future in Slytherin.

Yes I know it short - but its mothers day and I hope to have another chapter up by tonight. Also I hate the name of the story and desperately want to change it any Ideas?
