The train whistled loudly cueing Rosie and Albus to get on board. She gave her mother and father a kiss goodbye as she set off. "Hey Rosie." Albus said smiling at her. "Guess we're off together."

"Yeah well… I hope we're sorted into the same house." She stated bluntly nervous about meeting anyone else. She knew not to cross paths with Scorpius, but she wondered if there was anyone else her father would disapprove of. She sighed and stared out the window, watching the movement of the train's wheels.

As the train came to a complete halt, Rosie gathered her things and proceeded in line with Albus to meet Professor Neville Longbottom. "Welcome New Students." He said. "We will proceed to the Great Hall for further instruction." The first years followed Neville up the grand staircase into the Great Hall. Rosie looked at it in awe. The floating candles everywhere with the surplus amount of food. She gripped Albus's hand tightly full of anxiety. "Students." Professor Longbottom said. "We are going to start with the sorting hat ritual." He said. "You will be placed in the right group for you according to the hat. You will live there for the next seven years of your life. Remember, the hat is always correct."

Everything was a blur to Rosie as names were called.

"Evangeline Miles!"

"Hufflepuff!"

"Lorcan Sacamander!"

"Ravenclaw!"

"Thomas Dunnemont!

"Slytherin!"

"Amelia Hanson!"

"Ravenclaw!"

"Katherine Blackridge!"

"Gryffindor!"

Rosie was not surprised when Scorpius was placed in Slytherin. Yet she was worried for Albus when he was called. She prayed for Gryffindor because that would obviously be her house.

"Albus Potter!"

"Hmm… you are brave… Yet you are clever… I must place you in… Slytherin!"

Rosie gulped wondering if she was placed there too. Albus smiled and walked over to his table as more names were called. Finally, she was one of the last people to go.

"Rose Weasley!" the hat called. Rose was shaking as she stepped up to the hat.

"Gryffindor!" Rosie smiled as she ran over to meet her older cousin Victoire and her boyfriend Teddy. She smiled kindly at them as she sat down next to her and some other first years.

All the students were sorted and they enjoyed the feast. Rose dug into her chicken and ate food like there was no end. She worried about gaining weight and wondered if she would be a plump eleven year old. The first years were then lead by the Gryffindor prefects to their respective rooms. "Hello." Said Rosie's new roommate.

"Hello." Rosie replied. "I'm Rose Weasley, but call me Rosie."

"I'm Katherine Blackridge. Please call me Katie." The girls shared a double and would probably be for the next seven years.

They were in Potions class, and he got paired up with Rose to his natural dismay. She was trying to work on a basic healing potion that Slughorn was teaching and Scorpius kept interfering. "Will you cut it out?" Rose whispered sharply to him.

"I know what I'm doing." Scorpius said.

"That's not what the directions are saying." Rose replied.

"Potions are about natural intuition. It'll turn out better." Scorpius said sharply. "Just trust me."

"I don't trust death eaters." Rose whispered to him. Scorpius had a look of hurt on his face, but his father had taught him to be a man. He quickly hid the hurt look and responded back.

"My father was one because he had no choice. Besides, we don't really talk about the war."

"How can they let you people roam around?" she asked pointedly.

"The war was 20 years ago. Get your head out of your ass." Scorpius said bluntly to her.

Rose glared at him. "Follow the directions." She said.

"It won't turn out right." Scorpius said. "I can sense why."

"Our grades won't turn out right if we don't." Rose said. She then shoved Scorpius aside and made the potion to the direction.

"Rose don't put the fig in there!" Scorpius said. BOOM. None of them had been paying attention to the Potion because they were so busy with arguing.

"Alright! Everyone out!" Professor Slughorn said as he used a fire prevention charm on the potion.
