Chapter two

Six years have passed in the potter household and since then James has started school and would soon start his second year while Sarah and Albus would be starting for the first time, but now it was only the start of summer, which meant four months of family fun.

*Sarah's POV*

I woke to the sun shining on my face I had the east window part of the house and loved it because it was sunny all day long, when dad got promoted to head Auror we moved to a large wizard village closer to grandma and grandpa Weasley. I sit up in bed and stretch soaking up the sun rays of the early morning. I can see my grandparent's house as I stand and can't wait to spend my summer with my family.

I take a quick shower and get dressed in a pair of comfortable capris and nice summer tank top and flip flops. I fix my hair with my curl product and it falls into perfect waist length curls. I smile at my reflection and hurry downstairs. I enter the dining room to see dad already ready the daily prophet and mom coming out with a two stacks of first day of summer pancakes, "Morning Sarah, first one up as always." Mom says smiling at me, "Your hair is looking great, might need to take you to get a trim before school though."

Dad chuckles, "We can do that when we get their supplies, let her keep it until school, so sunshine, what are your plans for the day?" I sit down and grab a pancake and top it with berries as I think, "I think Aunt Hermione, Rose and I are going to Diagon Ally to a young adult's wizard book series signing at flourish and blotts." Dad smiles as he sets the paper down, I snatch it up he never let me read it but I wanted to but before I can even read the headline he snatches it back.

"You know the rule sunshine, not until you start school." I frown but go on and eat my pancakes, keeping my mouth shut as my little sister Lily bound down the stairs in blue jeans and t-shirt, "Morning sis." She says before digging into the food as well I swallow my pancakes and smile, "Morning Lils." I reply as the two boys appear still in their pajamas.

Albus sits across from me, "Morning Al." I say, I knew he was up all night playing guitar because he was in the room next to mine; he was trying to learn how to play to impress the girls at Hogwarts. I was the only one that knew about Albus trying to learn something to help him stand out. I had my thing; I could paint, and draw.

I take my last bite as the clock strikes eight, "Mom can I use the floo network and go to Aunt Hermione's and Uncle Ron's?" I ask taking my plate to the kitchen, "Sure dear, go get your bag and I'll get it set up for you."

I hurry and grab my rather large bag of wizard novels and go to the living room were mom was waiting by the fireplace, "Now remember dear, speak very clearly, don't want you ending up in knockturn alley or anything now do we?" she says smiling, I step in and grab some floo powder shouting out, "The Weasley Home." Which was the name my uncle picked for his floo network name, I spin in circles for about five minutes before appearing in my aunt and uncles nice living room. "Aunt Hermione, I'm here!" I call out, "In the kitchen dear." I hear her call, I smile and scurry into the kitchen "Good morning Aunt Hermione." I say hugging the woman who sat at the table alone reading. "Is Rose not up yet?" I ask, she shakes her head, "No not yet, but you can go wake her, she needs to get ready quick if she wants to go to that book signing with us." I giggle and set my bag down.

I walk to my cousins room which had her name written on the door and stickers of roses all over, I open the door and jump on the bed, making the large lump groan, "Sarah, why must you wake me like that." She says sitting up, "Because, if you don't get a move on, we are going to miss the biggest book signing in the Wizarding world." I say getting off the bed, "I'm up, at least let me get ready." She says frowning at me.

I smile and skip downstairs bumping into my uncle who was ready for work, "Oh sorry Uncle Ron." I say before hugging him, "It's alright, getting Rosie up?" I nod and continue to the kitchen where Aunt Hermione had set out a banana and pancakes for Rose, "She'll be down soon." I say opening the fridge.

My Aunt, like my dad lived with muggles or non-magic people, so she kept soda and butter beer in her fridge, I grabbed a soda and popped it open. "Ah, refreshing." I say smiling as I sit down next to my bag of books, Aunt Hermione smiles at me as Rose plops in her seat hair brush as much as possible and pulled into a frizzy pony tail. "I told you not to stay up all night reading sweetheart." Her mother says as Rose digs into her pancakes, "I know mom, but I was reading the Hogwarts: A History again since we will be going this year."

I was excited to finally see new places, with dad always working, and mom working for the daily prophet it was hard to get a decent vacation. Usually we stayed with our grandparents or one of our many sets of Aunts and Uncles if both had to work late.

"Well come on girls, it's time to go or we won't get anything signed." Aunt Hermione says startling me out of my thoughts, I jump up and grab my book bag and follow Aunt Hermione to outside the wards "I know this will be you girls first time appearating but this will be the quickest way there. Hold tight to me." Rose and I do as we are told and soon it feels like we are being squeezed through a tiny tube. My stomach was in knots when I opened my eyes to see flourish and blotts in front of me. I hold back throwing up though

Rose doesn't though she finds the nearest trash can and pukes, I frown and turn my head only to walk into someone, great I haven't been her five minutes and already I was being clumsy, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." I say getting up only to see that my books had spilled around me and the other person who looks up, I catch eye contact with blue eyes and hesitate, "It's actually my dad's fault, we just appearated to this spot when you turned around. I'm Scorpius Malfoy by the way, and you are?" he held his hand out for me to shake it but the Name Malfoy rang through my head.

"Sarah Potter, I have a feeling I'm not supposed to be talking to you." I say shaking his hand anyway, he laughs, "Same here, I got to go, dad brought me to this book signing of his, and I see you are a fan." He says picking up some of my books which I hadn't even picked up, "Oh gosh, I lost my Aunt in this crowd, could you help me clean this up and find her. Sorry I don't get out much." I say embarrassed, Scorpius chuckles, "Yeah, no problem" He scopes up the books and puts them in my bag before leading me inside flourish and blotts where Aunt Hermione comes rushing to me "Oh thank goodness you are alright, your father would have my head if you went missing, who's your friend dear."

I smile "Scorpius this is my Aunt Hermione." I say he shakes her hand and smiles, "Nice to meet you ma'am but I must get back to my father, he's also probably worried about me. Sarah, I will owl you later, just write down on this were you live and I will get it quickly after." I nod as he walks off into the crowd. "He seemed lovely dear, maybe he will be at Hogwarts with you kids now; let's get upfront so we can be first."

Things went downhill a lot faster than I thought they would when we got to the front, when Aunt Hermione saw that Scorpius' father was out favorite author she didn't know what to say until he said, "Well of course Hermione Weasel would love my books." She lost it and went off on him grabbing Rose and I before I could slip Scorpius my address so he could owl me. She appearated us straight to me house where she told me and Rose to wait upstairs while she talked to my mom and dad.

I didn't go upstairs though, I stayed at the door to the kitchen and listened like any normal kid would do when she wanted to know what was going on, "I feel awful Harry, I went off on him in front of Rosie and Sarah, and Sarah and his son seemed like they were getting on perfectly, like they had some connection. Harry I feel horrible I ruined her first outside friendship!" Aunt Hermione was hysterical, I hear dad sigh, "I hate that her first friendship was with a Malfoy, but if what you say is true Hermione, and they were getting on well maybe the Malfoy's have changed."

I give a sigh of relief and run to my room to write a letter to my new friend I would send it later tonight with dad's owl Sirius, a large black owl.

I reached my room and sat at the desk as Rosie walked in, "Sarah did you listening in again?" I nod as I take out a piece of parchment and quill and ink.

Dear Scorpius,

I'm sorry about what my aunt did, I hope you can forgive me and I hope that you talked to your father; he should really learn that blood status and names are nothing anymore. Sorry to make this short but I have to go.

Your new friend

Sarah

Rose gasps, "You're writing a letter to that Malfoy kid aren't you." She says as I set the letter aside to dry as I grab my practice broom, "Look when I listened in on what they were talking about dad said I probably wouldn't be a bad thing, he thinks that maybe the Malfoy's have changed. At least give him a chance Rosie." The ginger huffs in frustration, "Fine but if anything bad happens to you, don't come running to me, even if I am your favorite cousin." I laugh, "You ever said you were my favorite." We walk outside and I climb my broom, Rose never liked riding a broom though, "You did, last year when I gave you that book for your birthday and another for Christmas right after." I shake my head and fly around the yard a bit before Albus and James run out, "Can we join sis!" Al shouts, I nod and motion for him to come on up.

We spend the rest of the afternoon flying around and doing tricks, which mom always hates even though her and dad told us about some of the things that happened in their time at Hogwarts including dad faking out someone during qudditch.

After we are done I go inside and get a glass of water with my brothers, Rose had come back inside to read, "Have fun kids?" Dad asks walking into the kitchen; I nod as he looks at me "Sunshine can we talk?" I gulp down my water and the huge lump in my throat as he ushers for me to follow, I stand stalk still for a minute before Albus pushes me forward, I glare at him but follow dad to his office.

"Have a seat sunshine." He says ushering to one of the large chairs in front of his desk he got over to the large cabinet he kept closed off from us, he takes out a rectangular package and sit down, "Sarah I am trusting you with this, it's something that always helped me when I was in school, and I hope it does the same for you, weather you need to find someone, or find a place to hide away for a bit." He hands me the package.

I take it from him and open it I read the note out loud, "Sarah, I solemnly swear that I am up to no good. Dad, P.S. Mischief Managed." I look at him curiously he grins and takes his wand out and taps the piece of parchment that is inside the package, he grins at me again before saying, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." And a map appears on it I gasp realizing what it was. "Is this the map you told me about?" he nods.

"Oh thank you daddy I'll take extra care of it I promise!" I get up and hug him around the neck tightly, "There's one more thing sunshine this Scorpius boy, is he nice?" he ask as I go to walk out, I look back at him and smile reassuringly, "Yes daddy, he is really nice, and we are already friends." I say before walking out. I knew it was impossible to make friends that quick, but I could tell Scorpius and I would end up being the best of friends.
