Scorpius^

When I leave the store Alice and Hagrid are still waiting which makes me happy that they didn't just leave me here. When Alice looks up and sees me standing there she smiles brightly and rushes in front of me. "Did you get one? What does it look like?" Alice starts asking a bunch of questions so I just decide to pull out my wand and show her. She squeals in excitement giving me a hug and almost makings drop my wand. "That proves it, you are a wizard!"

"But if I'm a wizard why can't I use magic?" I ask contradicting her statement because it's still true I'm not able to access the so called powers I am said to have. I mean I have to have powers, right? How else was I sorted into Hufflepuff and get a wand? I'm just wondering how I got them.

"It might take a while to figure out what's wrong but I swear we'll find out soon. Now let's get back to school and get you ready for class though we'll be a few classes late," She grabs my arm once again as we head back the way we came. What is with this girl and pulling me around?

When I finally get to my class it's already started and when I walk in the room goes quiet as they all turn to stare at me as I walk to the only open seat in the room. "Welcome Ms. Chandler to potions, the person you are sitting next to now will be your partner for the rest of the year," the teacher says quickly before delving into the lesson on something I don't understand.

I turn to my right to see the boy, Scorpius I believe, from yesterday at the sorting ceremony. He had platinum blond hair slicked back and grey eyes that look like a very light blue that seemed to blend in with his pale skin. "I'm Scorpius Malfoy," He says awkwardly while giving me a small handshake.

I've never been good with talking with boys no matter who they are so I'm not sure how I'm able to actually say a complete sentence to him. "Hey, I'm Serena it's nice to meet you," I give him a smile which makes his tense shoulders relax.

"I'm guessing you really don't know anything about the wizarding world?" He asks to which I nod since I wasn't lying before. "Well I hope we can be friends."

"I'd like that," I say before we are told to start preparing the first lesson but I don't know what any of the ingredients are so Scorpius has to show me while I just help him put them into the cauldron. When it's time to leave Scorpius and I walk out of the room together.

"What's your next class?" He asks to which I look at the parchment that Hagrid had given me. "Something about broomsticks."

"Oh I have that class next as well come on we need to hurry we don't want to be late or we'll be punished," He quickens his pace to a fast walk while I have to basically run to keep up with him.

"Okay class set your brooms on the ground to your right," The instructor says and I do as she says as well as everyone else. "Now but your right hand over your broom and say Up." The word 'up' was then continuously repeated by every student, the first successful broom to rise was Scorpius's followed by Rose's. But mine continued to just lay on the ground not moving. I sigh loudly but keep trying anyways as a few more students are able to get their own wands.

Out of no where a loud cry as if in pain rang out getting everyone's attention. We look so see a boy with dark brown hair and tanned skin being wacked by a floating broom stick. It continues to hit him in the face as well as the stomach and he gets the indication to run but it continues to follow him. Most of the students laugh as he disappears into a dark hallway. "Mr. Collins come back here this instant!" The instructor demands but all we can hear are his screams fading the farther he gets. "Okay, I'll be right back with Mr. Collins, no brooms are allowed in the air."

She rushes after him while all we hear is his name being called which is actually funny but I choose not to laugh. I reach down to pick up the broom since it won't move on it's own but I feel a foot hit my back and the next thing I knew I was sprawled out on the grass. I looked up to see the same girl who had pushed me on the stairs glaring down at me with a guy who appears to be her age. He had blonde hair with the most tan skin I've ever seen that went well with his chocolate brown eyes. "Hey muggle, what are you still doing here? Why are you even trying, we all know you don't have magic?" She snarls at me making me inch away from her as she approaches me.

But before she is able to get any closer Scorpius steps in front of me and blocks her view of me. "Come on Karina don't do this. She is here because she has magic she wouldn't have been sorted or have gotten a wand if she didn't," Scorpius says to my defense trying to get her to stop trying to get to me. "Does anyone else think she should be here?"

"Actually, though I don't quite like the fact, I agree with Karina she is a muggle and doesn't belong at Hogwarts. I want her to leave at once but sadly I can't make that decision," Rose says stepping next to the girl who's name is apparently Karina as she send me then Scorpius a piercing glare. "Now move Malfoy before I hex you too."

She threatened him but yet he doesn't more as he glares right back at her. "I don't know what's gotten into you Weasley but I don't quite like it," His voice comes out smoothly but you could hear the venom in his words.

"And why would I care what you thought? Now move," She takes out her wand and aims it at him until Albus appears from the crowd of other students along side another red headed girl.

"Woah, calm down Rose there is no need for drastic measures there is nothing wrong here. If you don't want to see Serena here then just ignore her but don't go around hexing people," Albus said standing between her and Scorpius so she lowers her wand not wanting to hurt her cousin.

"Fine," She bites back as she send me another glare before walking away with the other red head. I sigh but then remember that Karina was still there waiting to do whatever it was she wanted to do with me.

"This isn't over, muggle," She sneers before linking arms with the boy behind her as they walk in the opposite direction that Rose went. Both Albus and Scorpion turned to me as I still laid on the grass.

"You okay?" Scorpius ask as they both reach down a hand and I grab both of them to make it easier to get me back on my feet.

"Just peachy," I chuckle as they do as well, then my eyes look over to see Rose harshly whispering to the red head and the girl Roxanne from the sorting. "Why does she hate me so much? Why do they both hate me so much?"

"Karina has never liked muggles and thinks their pathetic and weak though she should know better since she is in Ravenclaw. But with Rose I'm not entirely sure what's going through her head at the moment," Albus says following my eyes to his cousin when she then turns as if feeling out gazes and we whip our eyes away looking at each other laughing.

"I think that was the most interesting thing that has happened so far and it's only the second day here," Scorpius says making me giggle and nod my head enthusiast agreeing with his remark.

"Stick around they'll be plenty more if I'm here," I joke but maybe I kind of hope there'll be more exciting stuff happening. We'll see.

"Okay class climb onto your brooms and get ready to fly," The instructor announces as she appears without the runaway student behind her probably having dropped him off at the infirmary to take care of his injuries. "Ms. Chandler, if you aren't able to ride your broom either find someone willing to take you up with them or step back and wait till class is over."

I step back to walk away but Scorpius grabs my arm and gives me a friendly smile. "Come on I'll take you, I mean we don't want you to miss out," He comments enthusiastically as Albus looks between us but I shake it off and excitedly nod my head at the prospect of flying. He climbs on his broom while I stand behind him and it begins to lift off the ground. Scared I tightly wrap my arms around his torso as to not let myself fall off I take a deep breath and smell cinnamon and it calms me so when I believe it to be safe to open my eyes I look to see that we are high above the ground.

"How are you so good at this?" I ask looking at the ground below as it gets farther away as well as the other students whether they are having trouble getting off the ground or moving forward. I chuckle as I see another student rapidly spinning out of control. Then there is Rose who is flying past the students so fast she almost knocks a few of them off.

"I had practiced at home a lot because I have always dreamed of becoming a famous Quidditch player since I was little so my dad had a field built at home so I could practice," He answers as we swerve out of the way of another student going too fast as well as they appear to be out of control.

"He sounds nice," I say as I rest my head on his back as we start to descend as we are instructed to do but I must admit I had an amazing first flight.

"He is unless he is getting crap from others about his past as well as being a Malfoy," I look up as he says this to see a scowl on his face at the idea of people talking rude about his dad and I understand that. A lot of people thought my whole family to be rude and stuck up just because we had money but it's not like we did anything bad, dad just has a good job.

"What's wrong with being a Malfoy?" I ask as he looks over his shoulder and I give him a small smile of encouragement to answer my question. I may have just met him yesterday but I know we will be the best of friends.

"Our past ancestors have committed quite horrible crimes so people believe it is in our blood," He says and I can tell by his voice that he doesn't want to talk about it anymore so I keep my mouth shut as we land and class is dismissed.
