Hey hey! Thanks for choosing to read chapter two!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review. I only have one review at the moment and it doesn't make me feel too loved! If you like my story, review. If you don't, review anyway (constructive critisism please)!

This chapter is also in first year. It starts off at the sorting ceremony.

I am sorry if you find the first couple of chapters boring, I promise you that it will get better!

Again I am going to start with Rose's point of view.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Potters, Weasleys or Malfoys. In fact I own NOTHING from the Harry Potter series.

If I was nervous before it was nothing to how I felt now. We were in a small room off the great hall waiting until it was time to go in so we could get sorted. I was so scared. Al was standing next to me and he looked like he was going to throw up.

"You're not going to be in Slytherin Al. Don't worry!" I reassured him.

"Thanks Rose. I'm still really nervous though. What if I am?" Albus said worriedly.

"Well your dad wasn't the one who said he'd disinherit you! It's me that should have to worry." I joked, trying to lighten his mood. He gave a small smile and I took that as an improvement.

Someone came into the room. It was Professor Flitwick, he was back from checking if the rest of the school was ready for us.

"Please form a line and then we will walk into the hall." He said in a squeaky voice.

I got in line behind a girl with long blond hair with Albus behind me. He was muttering to himself saying things like "Don't worry" and "It'll be fine." I would have laughed if I hadn't have been so nervous myself.

We started walking out of the room. Once all of us were out, Professor Flitwick opened the doors to the great hall and we walked in.

It was absolutely stunning. The ceiling was bewitched to look like the night sky, my mum had told me that and I had read it in Hogwarts, A History but it still didn't prepare me for the marvellous sight. There were five tables, four of them were sitting vertically along the hall and one of them was at the head. The head one was the staff table so I assumed that the four others were house tables. We walked right down the middle row, I looked around and I saw a bunch of red-haired pupils sitting on one table so that must be the Gryffindor table, every single member of my family had been put in that house for centuries, just like Malfoys had been put in Slytherin. That must have been one of the factors on why our families hated each other.

We got to the head table and then we stood in a line with our backs to the head table, looking out on all the students.

Professor Flitwick brought a stool out and placed a hat on it. A rip opened near the brim. It started to sing. I don't remember the words but it said how Gryffindors are brave and courageous how Hufflepuffs are just and loyal, how Ravenclaws were intelligent and how Slytherins were cunning and sly.

I looked over at Malfoy when I heard the bit on Slytherin.

"When I call your name you will come and place the sorting hat on your head and then you will be sorted into your houses." Squeaked Professor Flitwick.

I was nervous; I hoped they didn't call the names in alphabetical order because I was sure to be near last if they did.

"Boot, Jennifer." Professor Flitwick called. Rats, they were doing it in alphabetical order.

"HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat shouted. Jennifer scurried off to sit with the Hufflepuffs. The line in front of the table slowly got smaller and smaller. The girl next to me (Lovegood, Rachel) was sorted into Gryffindor. I then heard the name: "Malfoy, Scorpius." And I saw Malfoy get out of line and walk up to the hat, he had a swagger in his walk, he looked like a complete loser.

The hat was only on his head for a few seconds when the hat shouted "SLYTHERIN!" and Malfoy got off the stool and happily walked over to the Slytherin table. He belonged there. A minute or two later the name "Potter, Albus!" was called.

"GO AL!" I heard someone shout from the Gryffindor table, I guessed it was James.

"Good luck Al." I whispered as Albus got out of line and walked towards the hat.

Basically a second after the hat touched his head the hat shouted "GRYFINDOR!" I smiled as I saw Albus almost run to the Gryffindor table and take a seat next to James.

There were only a few people left now. I was starting to get really really nervous. What if I was in Slytherin with Malfoy? I shuddered at the thought. When there was only me and another boy left Professor Flitwick called my name.

"Weasley, Rose." He said and I stepped out of line and walked towards the hat, I could sense loads of eyes on me. I sat down on the stool and the hat dropped down over my eyes.

"Hmmm, another Weasley. I have sorted many of your family before." The hat said, I was sure that only I could hear it. "Well you seem to have the same qualities as all of them. You have brains though, just like your mother. I could put you in Ravenclaw but I have a feeling you would prefer something else...GRIFFINDOR!" the hat shouted the last word to the whole school.

I took the hat off and with a massive smile on my face I walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down on the seat next to Al. I was so relieved to be put in Gryffindor I barely noticed that "Zabini, Lisa" got sorted into Slytherin.

Professor McGonagall (she was the headmaster) got up. "I will save my proper speech until the end of the feast so ENJOY!" she said, smiling down at all of us.

"Well that was a relief!" Al said next to me as he grabbed a chicken leg off the platter in front of him and started stuffing his face. I smiled at him.

Thank goodness I was in Gryffindor and my dad wasn't going to disinherit me. Even if it was a joke.

.....................................................................................................................

Everyone stood in a small room off the great hall. I was standing next to Vincent. He had loosened up over the train ride and I felt that we were being to become really good friends. He was a cool guy.

"What house do you want to be in?" I asked Vincent.

"Well my dad was in Slytherin so I would like to be too." He said. "What about you?"

"Well my whole family has been in Slytherin for centuries, I don't know what they would say if I wasn't!" I admitted.

"Well then we'll have to stick together!" he said.

"You bet!" I agreed.

I looked around the room and saw Weasley and her cousin. It looked like she was trying to comfort him or something. I glared.

"What's up with the glare?" Vincent asked me.

"Nothing." I bluffed.

"Uh huh!" Vincent said as if he thought he knew I was lying. Well I was so he was right.

"Family rivalry." I said simply.

"AH! She's a Weasley then?" he asked.

"Yup! And her cousin there is a Potter."

"Whoa! A Potter! That's some serious stuff right there!" he said, sounding impressed. I shrugged.

Just then Professor Flitwick came into the room.

"Please form a line and then we will walk into the hall." Professor Flitwick said in his squeaky voice. I got into line behind a sandy haired boy with Vincent behind me.

We walked out of the room and then into the great hall. It was amazing. With all its splendour it looked really cool. I looked up at the ceiling and sure enough, it had the exact same appearance as the sky outside. That was wicked.

We lined up facing the students, our backs to the teachers. My heart was beating a little faster than usual. I was really scared of not being put in Slytherin (probably the opposite to what Weasley and Potter felt).

I waited patiently in line. "Boot, Jennifer" was first. "HUFFLEPUFF" the hat shouted.

I waited and waited. Vincent was called, he sat on the stool for about 30 seconds and then the hat shouted "SLYTHERIN" he gave me the thumbs up as he sat down at the Slytherin table. The boy next to me "Finnigan, Dean" was made a Gryfindor. I scowled.

And then finally my name was called. Professor Flitwick called "Malfoy, Scorpius" and I walked to the chair and placed the hat on my head. It dropped down over my face.

"Ah! A Malfoy, SLYTHERIN!" The hat shouted the last word to the hall and I walked happily over to the Slytherin table and took the seat next to Vincent.

"Nice work mate." He said.

"You too." I said and then we focused our attention to the people who remained to be sorted.

"Potter, Albus" was called and some idiot from the Gryffindor called out "GO AL!" I saw Weasley whisper something to Potter and he walked towards the stool. A second later the hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" and Potter walked over to join what looked like his whole family.

A few minutes later the name "Weasley, Rose" was called. I glared at her as she put the hat on. She was on the stool for just less than a minute and then the hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" and she walked over to the Gryffindor table, smiling like an idiot.

Professor McGonagall got up and told us she would speak to us after the feast.

"Thank goodness," Vincent said beside me "I'm starving."

I laughed and then we began to eat. It was all amazing.

After we had finished our dinners, followed by desert, we got up from the table and followed a Slytherin prefect out of the hall, Vincent and I at the back of the line. We were just outside of the hall when the prefect stopped to talk to someone, we all stopped.

Then I felt someone bang into me.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I heard a girls voice from behind me. I turned around, it was Rose Weasley. She looked at me for a second and then her look of embarrassment turned to a smirk and she said, "Wait a moment, I take that back. I'm so not sorry at all Malfoy."

"Well I'm sorry for you Weasley." I snapped back.

"Sorry for what?" she questioned, her expression was angry.

"Sorry you came to Hogwarts in the first place." I told her.

I saw her eyes widen, she opened her mouth to retort when her cousin grabbed her arm and pulled her away saying "He's not worth it Rose."

Nice save Potter, I thought to myself.

So that was our first incounter, it was very clear for everyone around us that we hated each other.

Like my dad told me: Weasleys and Malfoys just don't mix.

Author's note: So how did you like this chapter? I thought it was pretty good. One more chapter on first year and then we will move on to second year. I will try and do one chapter a year but it all depends on what happens with the characters.

Please read and review! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

Thanks a bunch!
