ASP Two
We notice we are quite a way into our journey, and we all decide to change into our robes, we go one by one to the bathroom.
Scorpius goes first, and I start to talk to Rose while he's gone.
"He doesn't seem so bad! Maybe our dad's were wrong, I mean, they have been before. Look at Snape! They hated him, and then he died, and I was named after him and Dumbledore! I think he will come in handy if we need a mate. You know, with James being a total... a total..." I somehow couldn't find the right word.
"D-Bag?" Rose supplies. We both laugh at the thought of my brother being an asshole, like he always is. Apparently just like his namesakes.
The doors open and Scorpius walks in wearing his school robes. It's my turn now; I walk out, knowing that Rose will try and worm out his false intentions, trying to find a way to prove he isn't really like this, a friendly person, but she won't find anything. Scorpius was simply a nice person.
I return from changing and find them in the middle of a heated debate about who has a better owl. Neither of them do, my Magnus is perfect for anything, and so darn cute. And no, I am not gay.
The two turn and notice me and Rose goes to change into her robes.
"Scorpius," I start and he turns to look at me. "Rose is completely convinced that you have some kind of ulterior motive in becoming friends with us. I don't believe her, but I did wonder, why are you talking with us like this? I mean, your father hates both of our families."
"Well, for one thing, your brother shoved you in here so I didn't get a choice in that; two, you right, my father hates your fathers and that is a perfectly good reason to be friends with the children of the men he is so jealous of. Also, you two are pretty cool people and are easy to talk to. If you want me to back off, but you two are nice people, and my family doesn't tend to meet those type of people."
Rose returns after this and I give Scorpius a look that says 'Okay, you're in'.
"What were you guys talking about?" she asks.
"Oh, I was just asking him what houses we thought each other would be in. I said him Slytherin; he said I would be Gryffindor, like Dad and Uncle Ron."
"Anything from the trolley!? Anything from the trolley!?" calls the lady with the trolley and I buy a packet of Droobles, 3 chocloate frogs ( one for each of us) and some Honeydukes Sugar Quills. The others don't want anything so we sit down and let the lady pass down through the train. We eat our chocolate frogs in a peaceful quiet. All thinking deeply about something or other. I was thinking about how much I wanted to make my father proud and be in Gryffindor, but also aspire to be in Ravenclaw, and Father wouldn't mind if I was in Slytherin, he told me so. I lost myself deep in thought.
A boy pokes his head inside our compartment and says "Guys! We're nearly here!" and we assume that he is either first year like us or a very over excitable student in second or third year.
The boy reminds me I should probably get my wand out, a 11 ¾ inch mahogany wand, with a veela hair core. Rose sees my wand and unpacks her own, a cherry wand with a manticore tail quill core, 10 ½ inches. Scorpius also finds his wand, a holly wand with a unicorn hair core, 11 ¼ inches.
The boy from earlier was right, I could feel the train slowing down and I can see the station about 2km in front of us.
'This is it, I'm about to be at Hogwarts,' I thought to myself.
