I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too

Chapter 1---

Mackenzie's POV

Rose and I were sitting next to each other in our sixth year Potions class as usual. Scorpious and Albus sat at the table behind us, doing whatever boys do in class (which is, in short, sleeping and/or not paying attention and not getting caught by the teachers). Then, Rose started giggling,

"Haha! Merlin, Z, remember first year on the Hogwarts Express and how we met? Wow it was five years ago yesterday". We had just gotten back to school the previous day and were catching up about what had happened during the few weeks we hadn't seen each other, even though I spent most of the summer with her and Al and Scor, I spent the last few weeks in America with my family.

"Of course! Gosh, I remember that day like it was yesterday…

*Flashback*

I was looking for an open carriage on the Hogwarts Express. I had just recently learned I was a witch and flew all the way form America to London to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After looking around, I saw what seemed to be an open carriage, so I slid open the door. Inside, there was a small blond boy with grey eyes who suddenly looked up at me.

"Hey, do you mind if I sit here? Everywhere else full" I said quietly because he looked intimidated and I really needed to sit down, I was exhausted.

The boy looked at me as if I was crazy. I noticed that in his lap lay a strange book called Hogwarts: A Revised History. "You actually want to sit with me?" he said incredulously.

"Well are you contagiously sick, a pervert, a stalker, or a criminal?" I ask.

He shakes his head no to each of these things. "Then yes, I want to sit with you."

He just looks at me, then says "But my last name is Malfoy."

"Ok…and my last name is Ross, so?"

He suddenly seems to understand something. "Here," he hands me his book "read about my family, then tell me you want to sit next to me."

Lucius Malfoy was a Death Eater and for a long time very close to Lord Voldemort. His son Draco was also a Death Eater… The text continued to explain all about how Lord Voldemort had killed many muggle borns (or non magic folk) and even many wizards.

"I still want to sit next to you." I said with determination.

"What?" he gasped. I roll my eyes at him "First, off I was only doing what you asked me to do so don't act so surprised, and secondly I honestly couldn't give two shits about what your parents did, because just because they did some horrible things doesn't mean that you will." I flash a quick smile at him and say "Now, how about we introduce ourselves properly, I'm Mackenzie Ross, muggle born, nice to meet you" and hold out my right hand to shake.

He smirks then shakes my right hand and says "Scorpious Malfoy, delighted to meet your acquaintance." I laugh and we begin to talk, I ask him everything want house he wants to be in (Gryffindor, he wants to be different then his family), what his favorite color is (red) what his middle name is (Hyperion) I laughed at that one, I told him he had an unusual name, he scowled but quickly laughed to show that he wasn't really mad.

Suddenly, our carriage door slid open again. A boy and a girl stood before us, the girl with long, wavy, brown hair and warm brown eyes. The boy had black hair that stuck up in all directions and piercing green eyes.

The girl spoke, "all the carriages seem to be full. Do you guys mind if we sit with you?"

Scorpious seemed totally mute at that point and looked toward the ground so I decided I might say something, "Oh sure, I don't have a problem with it, but Scorpious here was in this carriage first so as long as its ok with him."

Both the girl and the boy suddenly turned towards Scorpious who they hadn't really noticed until this point. Suddenly the carriage became really quiet. The girl spoke again "Oh, um well you know I'm sure we can find another carriage."

"What?" I ask "I thought all the carriages were full!" The girl looked a little confused. "Muggle born" Scorpious said quietly. The green-eyed boy looked at me curiously. "Yes, I am" I say proudly "Mackenzie Ross, nice to meet you." I say. The girl smiles "My name is Rose Weasley, and this is my cousin, Albus Potter." She says motioning to herself, and then to the green-eyed boy.

"Ok then, I know you, you know me. Sit down". "Oh, but," Rose starts to protest. I roll my eyes at her, "you know not liking someone because of their family isn't very nice. You don't judge me by my family because you don't even know them; heck for all you know they could be crack dealers!" Rose sniggers at this. "Don't give me all that ooo sorry family feud mumbo jumbo crap, that's all stupid. My point is, sit down, we might surprise you." I wink at her.

Albus and Rose look at each other. Then Rose turns to me and smiles, "You already have."

"Come on then, Scor help me lift their luggage, Merlin I can't wait until we learn the levitation spell!"

Scorpious smirks at me "Scor?" he says, his voice filled with disdain. I smile angelically back at him "I just made up a nickname for you; how brilliant am I?"

Albus snorts, "And she's modest too". I bust out laughing and soon everyone joins me. "You'll learn to love me!" I decalre, "because let's face it I'm just soo loveable!!" I smile angelically at him. Albus snorts again "Again with the amazing modesty." I stick my tongue out at him and everyone laughs again.

We all sit down and start talking about what we think school will be like and our fave things. And I look at my new friends, joking and laughing together, and think to myself that maybe, its ok after all.

*End Flashback*

"Oh Rosie, I could never forget meeting you and Al and Scor for the first time" I say solemnly then roll my eyes. "And I'm sure if I do, you guys will all be happy to reenact our meeting." She giggles "Thank Merlin we were all sorted into Gryffindor!" "I know imagine if Scor and Al were put into Slytherin! Gah!"

Just then two balls of parchment hit us square in the back. "We know when we're being talked about!" Albus whispered-yelled. "And we're going to talk about you just so you know how it feels!" Scorpious finished for him.

"Wow," I said to Rose, "I never knew boys could be so sensitive!" Then, three things happened simultaneously, Rose laughed, we were hit with two more parchment balls, and the bell rang signaling the end of Potions.

Rose and I ran after us with Al and Scor hot on our heels yelling our names out and threatening us to tell them why we were talking about them or they were going to hurt our feelings.

I have great friends.

A/N: ok so this chapter was basically about how they became friends and what houses they were sorted into next chapter will probably be in Rose's POV. I'm thinking about doing a different story just on the boys POVs. Tell me what you think….
