Meeting my New House
Hello I am alive! So to begin with I apologise for my complete lack of chapters. I feel rather rubbish. My old laptop crashed and I lost all my chapters :(
So we might as well get on with it

Rose
Rose stared down at the plate in front of her. She felt her heart breaking into a million pieces. She had plans perfect plans. However there was no chance they were going to happen now. She looked towards the Ravenclaw table and noticed her cousin Dominique looking at her. She was sat with her medium length red hair pulled up into a bun. Her brown eyes looking at her through her thick rimmed glasses, she smiled reassuring at Rose .She saw her other cousin Molly, sat at the Hufflepuff Table, who smiled and waved. Molly was the shortest of the girls but she had more than enough attitude to make up for it. You never wanted to get in a fight with Molly she hadn't earned the nickname Danger Zone from being Calm. She had red hair that was never straight and the biggest chocolate brown eyes and a infectious laugh. She mouthed an okay at Rose. Rose stuck her thumb up. Rose looked at her own table, James with his shiny black hair and green eyes . Then Fred with his chestnut coloured hair and dark eyes that matched his skin . Louis had curly dark red hair with pale blue eyes .Victoire the eldest Wotter had long blonde hair that was loosely tied in a French braid. She was the tallest and most graceful person she had ever met. Her eyes were ice blue but filled with kindness and love, no wonder every boy wanted to date her. But her heart belonged to Teddy. Rose then glanced back towards Albus who had messy Black hair and Green eyes that were like his Fathers. People always said 'you look just like your father ' He also wore glasses. She sighed to herself wondering how they had ended up in this position. She missed him. He was more than just her cousin he was her best friend. They shared everything. They knew each others secrets. Their dreams, it was all falling apart. She put her head in her hands and "Aggah".
"Rose ,Rose!" She felt a hard nudge on her shoulder.
" Whoa what?" questioned Rose
" You were staring at the wall, and then said Aggh" Jane imitated Rose
Jane had the longest raven hair Rose had ever seen. She looked just like her mother but with a different hair colour. Whereas the Twins looked like their Dad but had their mothers colouring. When they were all together you knew they were a family.
"I'm sorry it's just I miss Al," She put her head on Jane's shoulder.
Jane put her arm round her, "Its going to fine you're a a tough cookie!"
"I'm sorry I am being rude... I'm Rose," She held hand out to the Blonde who's name she thought was Maya.
"Nice to meet you I'm Maya, I have just one question, what's wrong with your hand?"
Rose looked at her hand " HA made you look!"
"Good one" Jane high fived her.
"Anyway let's not talk about this" Rose was horrified she was supposed to the one who pranked people. But maybe this wouldn't be so bad .
"So have you guys seen the new Hunger games movie?" Maya asked
"You like the Hunger Games?!" Rose practically shouted before looking embarrassed.
"The what now?"
"Oh I forgot you're a pure blood" Rose wiggled her eyebrows at Jane.
"Hey I'm a pure blood" Maya said in annoyance.
"I stand corrected you're cool, Jane is just boring."
"I am not boring!"Jane whacked Rose and pushed Jane's head off her shoulder.
Rose opened her mouth but before they could continue their conversation...
"Hi girls," Victoire slid onto the bench next to Rose " Hi I'm Victoire Weasley and I am your head of house and the Head girl so if you need anything don't be afraid to ask."
She beamed brightly and added "I just wanted to let you guys I have to go talk to Professor McGonagall."
Vic swung her legs round in the most graceful way to get up from the bench.
"So is she a weasley?" questioned Maya
"Yep" Rose raised her eyebrows "Why do you ask you look really confused?"
"Well how many is there? There seems to be someone who knows you on every table I haven't missed the glances and waves!"
"Well first off there Bill and Fleur who have 3 kids Louis the blonde boy,Victoire who you just met and Dominique the Ravenclaw" Rose pointed and waved.
"Wow she's really pretty."
"I know," Rose sighed.
She heard that all the time Dominique was the pretty one. Victoire was the beautiful one and Molly was the cool one who had the best laugh. Whereas Rose was just plain old boring.
"Anyway then you have George and Angelica who have Fred"
She pointed to the boy with the chestnut hair and Roxanne. "Percy Albus who have Molly and Lucy" She pointed out molly. "Then we have Ron and Hermione who are mine and Hugo's parents. Then lastly you have Harry and Ginny who have James, Albus and Lilly, plus Teddy who is Harry's God son, but he lives in the Potter house a lot of the time"
"Wow that's a lot of people how do you keep track?"
"It's a complicated process, if you visit in summer it's like entering a war zone!" Jane giggled .
"You get used to it!"
"So how do you know Jane?"
"Our parents know each other they were friends during in school, Luna is my evil Cousin Lilly's God mother."
"Evil? "
Jane shock her head and mouthed don't ask .
"Rose" a male voice called.
"Thank god" Jane muttered
"James, Fred ," Rose beamed
"Well hello there little ladies" James smirked while trying to look like Elvis.
"Don't scare the pretty ladies off now" Fred added
Rose looked at Maya who was blushing at this encounter.
"Ahhhhh" Rose screamed while squirming, someone had pinched her in the sides.
"Got you" Alice appeared from behind her "I know you hate being tickled, nice job boys" Alice high-fived the boy.
"Alice you're supposed to help us not torment us" Jane laughed.
"Ah well this sounded way more fun. Anyway boys we need to finish our food and we can talk later" She blew a kiss at Rose. "Oh yeah and thanks for the trick!"
Rose stuck her tongue out and gave Alice a murderous look before laughing at Alice's shocked expression.
Soon the great hall grew quiet as students started leaving to go to their common rooms. Rose was yawning while Maya leaned against her. Jane's hand was linked with hers. She strangely felt like she had known the girls forever.
Albus
This was not happening there was no way. He had listened to Rose's plans enough times to know exactly what he was doing and when. Well.. that was all out the window now then. He looked around at the entire Great Hall and could count on one hand the reassuring faces. They were Rose, Dominique, Molly, Jane, and Louis. Even his own brother wouldn't look at him properly. He felt disgusted with himself and his house. This wasn't supposed to happen, he wanted to cry. He didn't know anyone, at least when Dominique had come she had her sister and Teddy to support her. Also Hermione and Fleur had been thrilled that she had been placed in Ravenclaw. Slytherin wasn't the house he had wanted . He felt Roses eyes boring into his back . He turned and saw everyone giving her sympathetic looks. This was not what he wanted . He tried to concentrate on the food. Until a very tall thin pale girl dragged herself along the bench to face him. She was licking her lips . She looked rather scary. She had lots of black around her eyes and a signature red lipstick. However it didn't make her look like Molly. She licked her lips and held out her hand. "I'm scarlet" She hissed rolling the s longer than was necessary.
"I'm Albus,"
"Well are you not just the cutest thing?"
'GULP' was all that Albus could muster.
" We don't talk much do we but personally I think lips can be used fro much better things,don't you agree?" She hungrily asked while leaning closer towards him.
"Come on Scarlet, leave the poor kid alone." A deep voice spoke.
"You are nothing but a kill joy Gregg!" She snarled at him. She walked off ,clearly not happy about this.
" Hi, don't worry about her, we're not all snakes." said Gregg.
Albus nodded "I'm Albus."
"So you're James brother right?"
"Yeah but we're not really alike ..." Albus knew this usually meant they wanted to be friends with James but it was easier to talk to Albus because he was usually alone or with Rose.
"Hey relax, I'm not trying to be friends with him he's just got a glorified last name." Gregg just shrugged as though it didn't matter and Albus was grateful for this.
Albus knew that his last name was one that every witch and Wizard knew. He felt pressure to live up to his Father. James had always been the cool one, the one that everybody wanted to be friends with. He never had to try when it came to school. He was in the gryffindor Quidditch team the best keeper the team had seen since Oliver wood. Albus was the shyer one. He was quiet but ambitious people often mistook his shy personality for aggression, when in truthfulness it was often fear of disappointing his father. He often spoke to Rose about this as she felt the same pressures. It was one of the reasons they were so close . With Hermione being her mother she often felt like she had to be brilliant at everything. Hermione was the brightest witch of her age. Her parents were holding out hope that this would be Rose too. Rose loved books but she still found it difficult to live up to those standards. Rose was also gifted at Quidditch which her father approved of. Living up to the their parents expectations was something neither were unfamiliar with.
Albus hadn't noticed that Gregg was still talking. "So what do you think?" Gregg asked.
"Sounds good yeah"
"Alright well I should get back to the boys and go say hi to my partner in crime Victoire, I'm head boy by the way"
Albus nodded, he loved Vic she was fantastic. She was the kind one and she was everyone's favourite cousin which wasn't surprising. He watched her smile brightly at the little girls who were first years and he instantly felt more at ease.
"So,you're Albus Potter then?"
Albus turned to face a pale blonde boy who had slicked back hair. He looked mean with his piercing ice blue eyes. ALbus felt himself nod.
"I'm Scopious Malfoy." He held his out Albus he shook it.
"Nice to meet you."
"And I'm Ben" The boy from the boats added. Albus got a proper look at him, he had brown hair that was chin length. He had one side swept over one of his eyes. He looked like your typical bad boy and Albus already didn't like him, but assumed that once they were forced into close quarters they would get along .
"Well isn't this nice" Scoprius made an attempt at humour, it earned him a steely stare from Ben.
Albus clapped him on the back "He will come around."
They realised that there table was emptying and they followed Gregg to the Slytherin common room which was located high up in towers.
Albus finally felt at home for first time since entering Hogwarts. He had noticed that Rose was actually smiling as she left." We're going to be fine," he muttered to himself.
Rose
The Gryffindor common room was amazing! The walls were deep scarlet with gold trimming around the edges. The chairs were old and worn but fitted with the cosiness of the room. Rose felt at home in this room. She smiled to herself if only she could share this with Albus. The fire was still roaring despite the late hour. The girls sat down with the rest of Rose's family.
"I can't believe that Albus is in Slytherin," Victoire spoke .
"Well he always has been a little bit on the sly side." Fred said Roses face feel . Victoire smacked him round the back of the head "Idiot ,Rose we could have never predicted this," Victoire looked at her cousin "He will be fine Gregg will look after him I promise."
"But he's all alone!" Rose couldn't stop the tears falling. Jane hugged her.
"What are we all sat here discussing this for?" James asked "the fact is he's in Slytherin there's nothing we can do to stop that."
"But we can look after him." Louis cut in.
"Yeah invite him to have lunch with us the traitor." James cut in
"He's not a traitor its not his fault that he's in Slytherin it's that stupid hat!" screamed Rose
She stormed off her eyes red from crying.
"Nice one James," Victoire said while taking Jane and Maya up to their room.
Rose sat with her knees pulled up to her chest. Jane and Maya sat next her, and hugged her until she stopped crying. "I'm sorry guys."
"Its okay" Maya spoke softly while whipping her own eyes.
Soon after the girls were all tucked in to bed, too tired from all the tears and emotions of the day.
Then there was knock at the door.
