Albus and I found an empty compartment in the Gryffindor section of the train just a few minutes before the train left for Hogwarts.
Technically, it's not a Gryffindor train, it's just surrounded by a bunch of them. When it comes to First Years, they get to sit anywhere they want. But since Albus is a Potter, and I'm a Weasley, we're obviously supposed to sit in the the Gryffindor section of the train.
"Jeez," Albus slide into the couch. "I didn't realize that you had to be on the train early to get a seat."
I sat across from Albus. "Me either."
"Ya know," Albus pushed himself back up. "I was sorta expecting James to allow us into his compartment. I mean, it's only him and his 'girlfriend'." Albus quoted 'girlfriend' with his fingers.
I couldn't help but grin. James is only in his Second Year and he already as a girlfriend. His girlfriend is Shannon Wolf. James announced it at the end of his First Year. He made an excuse for leaving Albus and I with our parents because he wants to catch up with Shannon. If James thinks that he actually has a girlfriend, he should've have actually spent time her instead of pulling pranks to the kids around the neighborhood.
I put my shoulder on the windowsill, and looked out the window. There were still a bunch of families trying to keep their children with them for a couple more minutes. At first, I couldn't see them, but then I saw Albus's and my family. The four adults were talking about who knows what. While Albus's and my siblings, Hugo is my little brother and Lily is Albus's younger sister, looked like they were having a very serious conversation. At one point, they walked back to the pillar between platform 9 and 10, and left.
I smiled. I guess I might miss them. I mean, they're family, of course I'm gonna miss them. They were just so annoying earlier. May-
Albus's fingered snapped right in front of my face. If that was suppose to get my attention, it definitely did.
I jumped a little then I swatted Albus's hand away.
"Ow!" he yelped. "Jeez, you don't need to hit me so hard."
"Well, you probably shouldn't have not done that." I snapped.
"I'm sorry," Albus replied. "But you were in la-la-land, and I was asking you a question."
"What is it?" I asked feeling my face grow slowly red.
"I was asking you what house you wanna get in."
I sighed. "I thought we already went through this. I either want to get into Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. But mostly Gryffindor."
Albus snickered. "The stuck-up house. I think that fits you perfectly."
I rolled my eyes. What a perfect Slytherin.
Then there was a knock on the door. Albus and I both looked at each other at the same time. We both know that's it's none of our siblings. They would just charge in without giving a damn about who's in or what's going on.
Before I could say anything, Albus jumped up, and opened the compartment door.
There was a scrawny little boy with white-blonde hair combed to the side. Despite that, he was wearing all black clothes.
Malfoy I gritted my teeth.
"Um," he squeaked. I hid a snicker "Can I sit here? There's no more room in the other compartments."
I said no in a soft voice while Albus said, "Yeah sure! Now I'm not the only boy here!"
"Um… Thanks," he replied softly while sitting down on the couch across from me.
We locked eyes for a second or two.
"You're a Weasley," was the first thing he told me.
"So you've noticed," I spat.
"Um… yeah, I'm not stupid," He sounded annoyed.
I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes.
"Ok," Malfoy said. "Let's start over." He put out his hand. "I'm Scorpius Malfoy. What's your name?"
I rejected the handshake. "I thought you already know who I am."
"You guys are starting over, remember?" Albus said, sounding amused.
"I know that Albus," I replied, my temper rising. I took a deep breath. "I'm Rose Weasley" I shook his hand, and wiped his sweat on his hands on my pant leg.
We were in a moment of silence. I looked out of the window and the scenery. This is what it's going to be like for the next several hours I thought.
"Who're your parents?" Scorpius jinxed my assumption.
"Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley Potter," Albus answered with a little pride.
"Cool," Scorpius replied without turning to him. "What about yours, Rose?"
"Hermione Granger Weasley and Ron Weasley," I raised my eyebrows.
"So you're a half-blood," Scorpius concluded.
"Yeah?" I retorted. "Anything about that?"
"Oh, nothing," Scorpius replied. "It's just that my dad told me to watch out for you, because of your blood. So I thought you were a mud-blood."
I struggled to keep a laugh down. "Why would you say that? I mean, my dad told me to watch out for you, but I was going to be smart and keep that to myself. And why would your dad tell you to stay away from me because of our blood?"
"No idea," Scorpius said.
"Exactly," I concluded. "But that doesn't mean we can't be friends."
And that was when I realized it. I had a word slip. This always happens to me. It only happens when I'm having a serious conversation or arguing with someone, like this one right here. When it happens, they always make the best of it.
"Wait," Scorpius sputtered. "You. Want to be friends. With me?"
"No!" I felt my face go red. "I meant 'that doesn't mean we can be friends' not can't."
Scorpius scoffed. "But you clearly said you want to become friends with me."
I groaned with frustration. "That was a word slip, Scorpius."
"Oh, that is a stupid lie," Scorpius waved the thought away. "You just want to be friends with a pure-blood, half-blood."
Now he went too far I gritted my teeth. "We are not going to talk about our bloods here, Malfoy."
"Well, I just did," Scorpius crossed his arms with satisfaction.
"Albus!" I yelled way louder than I intended to. "Help me!"
Albus held up his hands up defensively. "Hey, don't get me in this. I'm just enjoying the show."
"You idiot! I screamed. I stormed over to the door. I pushed it open and whirled around to say something to Malfoy.
"You are the shittiest blonde-headed freak that ever walked this Earth and you will always be that way."
Then I slammed it shut and stalked off to find Lucy.
Hey guys!
Sorry that it took me so long to write this chapter. I had school stuff to do, and writing a story that is on fictionpress! About that, if you have one, please follow me! My username is the same as this one (potterhead1981).
If you guys have any suggestions on this story please PM me! I'll put shout-outs if I got the idea from you (I'll only shout-out if you want me to).
If you don't know, I am also thinking of making a POV of Albus Severus Potter's First Year! It (obviously) won't be the same storyline as the other two, but it'll be similar in a way ;). Again, if you have a suggestion for this story, PM me! Shout-outs will be given out if you do, which is optional.
