When Rose arrived on Platform 9 ¾, she was nervous. What if she couldn't control her powers? What if Rose didn't like her mate? What house was she going to be in? Rose was pulled out of her thoughts when her father spoke a little too loudly.
"Look who it is."
Rose followed her dad's eyes and saw three people. There were two adults, which Rose assumed to be a couple based on the wedding rings on their hands, a man and a woman. The woman was impeccably dressed in an open-cut, deep purple outer robe with a grey tailored blazer and matching cropped skirt that stopped just above her knees. She had mahogany brown hair and beautiful deep sea-green eyes.
The man looked to be her parent's age, although he looked a little odd with his albino skin and what had to be the whitest, most platinum blonde hair Rose had ever seen. He was dressed in black robes with a modern cut, and some trousers were slightly visible through the opening in the front of the robes. The man turned around and his eyes, a striking blue so pale they were grey, landed on the group staring at him, and nodded curtly before turning away again.
"So that's little Scorpius," said her dad said under his breath. Rose guessed that he was talking about the boy accompanying the odd, albino man and the woman who must have been his wife. The boy had the same exact coloring as his father, although his facial structure seemed to be less pointy and more like his mother's.
"Make sure you beat him in every test, Rosie. Thank God you inherited your mother's brains." Drowning out her dad's voice, she stared at the boy and his family. He was hugging his sister and mother as his dad spoke to him. As if on cue, he turned around and smiled at her. Rose smiles back and then went to hug her family. She grabbed Albus and pulled him onto the train and into a compartment.
As the train started to move, the compartment door slid open. "Can I sit here? Everywhere else is full." Both Al and Rose nod at him. The boy sits next to Albus and says, "I'm Scorpius, Scorpius Malfoy." Rose stares at him and speaks. "I'm Rose Weasley. This is my cousin Albus Potter. May I ask what your middle name is?"
Scorpius stares at her, searching her face. Concluding that she is genuinely curious, he says, "Hyperion. My middle name is Hyperion." Rose goes through her head, trying to figure out the meaning of his name. When she does, Rose says, "did you know that your name means Venomous God of Heavenly Light and Bad Faith?"
Scorpius looks at her with an expression of suspicion and replies. "Yes, I did know that. What is your middle name?" Rose opens her mouth to speak, but Albus interrupts and says, "so, Scorpius. What do you like to do for fun? I prefer flying, myself."
"I do enjoy flying though I usually go into the forest and explore with my sister. We both love the outdoors." Albus replies by saying, "really? You would enjoy hanging out with Rose and my sister, Lily. They spend their time in the woods, meadow, and lake by my grandparents' house. At one birthday party Rose even went missing while the rest of us tried to calm down our brat of a cousin. Then a Wood Nymph came out and yelled at us because we hurt Rosie's feelings. Then the Nymph took my sister, aunt, and mum into the woods to celebrate Rose's birthday in the forest."
Rose stares at her cousin, thinking he just revealed way too much information. For all, she knew this kid could be a son of nature. And she didn't want anyone to know. "Really, you know we have some Nymphs by my home. Lyra goes to see them almost every day. I, however, only seek out the Nymphs out now and then. I even have a journal made of parchment and tree bark that I got as a gift on my 11th birthday. Lyra has an enchanted harp."
Rose stares at Scorpius. Both boys pale as she stares. "What happened? Why do you both look scared?" Scorpius gulps and Al responds. "Rosie, your eyes turned a goldish yellow color. Are you okay?" The compartment door slides open, and James Potter sticks his head in.
"Hey, Al, I need your help. Fred's trying to find the map and cloak. We need an extra pair of eyes." James smiles at Rose, and both of the raven-haired boys leave.
"Rose, you never answered my question earlier. What is your full name?" Scorpius looks at Rose, his eyes turning a deeper shade of grey for a second or two. She cringes and replies by saying, "my full name is Rosemarie Nymphadora Weasley. The meaning of my name is Flowery Gift of the Nymphs."
They sit in silence for a minute. Scorpius grins at Rose, and both of their eyes flash a shade of sky blue. "What did the Nymphs give you for your first coming of age gift?" Scorpius asks.
Rose smiles at him and says, "I got two. An enchanted flute replacement and an elemental crystal bracelet to help me control my powers." He stares at her and asks, "Since you're a daughter of all Nymphs, does that mean that you can harness every element?" Rose nods.
"I have yet to receive any of my abilities. That's why I didn't know what you two were scared of. My eyes have never done that before."
Scorpius responds by saying, "I only can summon fire at the moment. My Nymph Ring said that because of my heritage, I will probably be able to control at least three elements. Um, Rose, you might want to look at your head."
"Why? What's there? Is it b-"Rose is cut off by Scorpius reaching onto her head and pulling off a vine wreath with small violet flowers. "Rose, I think you just got the ability to control plants. You are a flower child, so it only makes sense."
At that exact moment, Albus walks back into the compartment. This time he is followed by none other than Dominique Adalene Weasley. One of Rose's least favorite cousins. Her name means Mistress of Nobility. Very fitting.
Dom sits down next to Rose and introduces herself. "Hello. My name is Dominique Adalene Weasley. What's your name?" Scorpius' eyes quickly flash a shade of light green. Rose smirks and nods.
"My name is Scorpius, Scorpius Malfoy." Dom flashes her white teeth at him and says, "French?" Scorpius nods and listens to Dom. She continues to talk about herself. Rose zones out, too annoyed to pay attention. Why does she have to be so self-centered? If only she could shut her mouth.
The only way it could get worse is if she started speaking in French. Then I would actually have to talk to her.
Scorpius?
Yes.
Are you in my head? Are you doing this, or am I?
I haven't been able to do this before. I could just hear you thinking, so I joined your conversation. Much more interesting than listening to your cousin, blab. Veela?
One eighth. It's interesting how you can tell so much about a person from their name.
Mistress of Nobility. Such a nice ring to it, but such a horrible meaning.
I've got a feeling that she is not going to make it through school. Did you hear about the mating thing?
Yeah. The bite marks. What are we gonna do? Grow fangs?
I looked into Veela mating yesterday. Going to spare a few details, but yes, they do grow fangs, and a Veela will die without their mate. They have up to a year to mate, and then just die.
After my coming of age conference, I went into the Manor's Main Library and-
What did you just say?
I went into the main library at Malfoy Manor…
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LIBRARY?!
Yes. Multiple. Dominique is staring at us.
I'll fix it.
Rose looked up to see both of her cousins staring at her and Scorpius. "Do you need anything?" Rose says, her eyes flashing a faint red. Dom backs up and says, "Rosie, yo… your… ey… eyes… just… tur… they turned red."
"Dom, are you sure? How could my eyes turn a different color? They are Ocean Blue, remember?" Dominique just nods at me and says, "why were the two of you so quiet? You were making facial expressions as though you were having a conversation." Ugh. This girl and her nosiness. The Nymphs said that I could influence people. Do you think I have a strong enough influence to get her to leave?
You can try it. But we also have to change in a minute.
Rose probes through Dom's mind and implants the phrase, 'it's not possible to have silent conversations without very complicated spells.'
Scorpius speaks up. "It was nice meeting you, Dominique, but we're half an hour away from Hogsmeade, and we all need to change."
"You're right. I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking when I said that you two were having a wordless conversation. Rose, do you want to come to change with the rest of the girls?" She says as she gets up.
"Yes. Thank you, Dom. I'll see you two at the sorting."
