So… Hey. Erm… im Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. Im a Slytherin and im in 6th year with my best friend Albus Potter, though I'm not particularly sure why I was asked to write this entry. I'm not a Potter or a Weasley, or a close relative, but I guess I do spend a lot of time with them, and I do spend most of my holidays with the whole of Albus' family.
…
Is this the part where im suppose to make a confession of some kind? Oh joy.
Teddy better be right about no one reading this.
So, Yeahh… how do I say this? Okay, okay, I'll just come out and say it.
I'm in love. Do I have to admit who? Really? Can I not just leave it at that? Fine, I'll tell you, but you HAVE to promise not to tell ANYONE! AT ALL.
Rose Weasley.
There, I said it, im in love with Rose Weasley, and she hates my guts.
I don't even know why, from the first day she met me she despised me, even when Albus and I became best friends she hated me…
(FLASHBACK)
It was the first day of our first year, and I was sat in an empty compartment with Calico (my ferret) when a tall boy with messy black hair emerged at the compartment door accompanied by two smaller kids that were my age. One was a small boy with light brown hair; the other was a girl that was skinny, with bright red frizzy hair and chocolate brown eyes.
'Hey, can we sit here, all the other compartments are full' the taller boy said, and I nodded cautiously, the kids looked oddly familiar, I just couldn't place where I had seen them before. Sitting down on the bench opposite the boy introduced himself 'I'm James, im starting my fourth year. This is my brother Albus and my cousin Rose'
Of course! They were part of the Potter/Weasley clan. My mother had told me stories of them, James and Albus' dad was Harry Potter, the man who defeated Lord Voldemort, and Rose's mum and Dad helped him, being his best friends.
I eyed them up and down again before saying coolly 'Malfoy, Scorpius Malfoy' I heard the small girl, Rose, apparently, snorted and I glared at her. 'Well I don't have to ask what your name is Rose' I said scornfully 'Red hair and a stupid expression, you must be a Weasley'
She frowned, and her eyebrows furrowed together as she corrected me 'Weasley-Granger'
Rolling my eyes, I saw Albus was smirking at me as I turned to him.
'And what are you looking at Potter?' I growled, narrowing my eyes him.
'Just the son of a death eater' Spat Potter.
'Look Potter' I said venomously 'My Dad was a death eater yes, but against his own will and he's changed now, even you should know that, what with you Dad being 'The Boy Who Lived'' I replied and Albus blushed pink, looking down at his lap while his older brother smirked at me.
'You're alright you know' He laughed, and held out a huge hand for me to shake.
When we did get to Hogwarts I was left with Potter and Weasley-Granger because James had to leave to go sit with his house, Gryffindor. We all lined up and Professor Longbottom called the names out in alphabetical order.
After years of waiting my name was called.
'Malfoy, Scorpius'
The whole hall went silent and the pupils seemed to all lean forward in anticipation to see what house I was placed in. Unlike my father, the Sorting Hat took at least three minutes to decide my fate.
'Hmmm, so your Dracos son? Ah yes, I remember him. Took me a second to sort him into Slytherin, but your much more complicated. Hmmm, yes, you seem to have a bit of every house in your head. But where to put you? The brains of a Ravenclaw, loyalty of a Hufflepuff, bravery of a Gryffindor and cunning like a Slytherin. Hufflepuff or Slytherin… I know… SLYTHERIN!' The Sorting Hat shouted the last part to the school and the hall erupted in cheers. I smirked, jumped off the stool and ran to join my new housemates.
I sat talking to some guys in my new house and waited to see where Mr. Arrogant Potter and Miss. Snob Weasley-Granger were placed.
Finally Albus Potter was called and I sat up slightly straighter in my seat, waiting for his fate to be decided.
'SLYTHERIN!' A gasp ran through the hall as we saw a nervous Albus walk timidly towards the Slytherin table, where we all turned to stare at him. Some were raising their eyebrows at him, challenging him, and some were whispering to their friends. He took a seat opposite me and looked shyly down at the wooden table.
'So, Potter, how are you going to tell your dear family that they're child has been placed in the evil Slytherin are, you know, the house full of Death Eaters?' I laughed harshly, reminding him of what he said previously.
'Look, im sorry about what I said about your Dad, and this house, I didn't mean it okay?' I smirked my usual smirk and held out a hand for him to shake.
'You're alright you know'
Albus smiled, shook my head and we watched as the other people in our year were sorted, with a new friendship formed.
Albus and I were walking to our dormitory when we saw Rose running towards us, her frizzy red hair streaming out behind her like a veil.
'Al! I cant believe you were sorted into Slytherin' She panted, somehow glaring at me while she said it.
'Yeah, its alright though Ro, I've made a friend already' He said, nudging me in the side. I gave her a small nod, and she glared at me.
'Malfoy?! You're friends with a Malfoy?' I shifted uncomfortably and Albus rolled his eyes.
'His surname doesn't define who he is, aren't you the one that always says that Rose?'
Rose glowered at Albus before turning to me 'Just because your best friends with my cousin doesn't mean I like you. Got it?' She stormed away and Albus apologised to me, but all I could think about was the red headed girl that happened to hate me, something I wasn't used to.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
Yep, that was the first time I met my best friend Al, and also the first time I met Rose, and since then I don't think ive ever stopped thinking about her.
Oh Merlin, now im all sentimental!
Anyway, there's no point in even doing anything about it, she doesn't like me back. Actually, she despises me. It's only a crush, the feelings will go away eventually, I hope.
So yeah, that's my sorting, my secret, and me. Just no one tell anyone! Especially not Rose! Or Albus! Actually he probably knows by now…
Anyway, see you later guys!
A/N Hey guys! So im actually really pleased with this chapter. I couldn't help but put the whole 'Malfoy, Scorpius Malfoy' like Draco said, and the Weasley thing. I wanted Scorpius to be like Draco at the start, you know all Pureblood and hating the Potters/Weasleys, but then he goes to being best friends with Albus.
Scorpius has to be one of my all time favourite characters. Which is weird, considering he's barely even mentioned in the books and films…
Hope you liked it and please review! :D
