One of the Compartments

Rose had gotten to Platform 9 and 3/4 early, and had chosen a good compartment, but towards the back of the train. She had wanted to be in a crowded compartment, but didn't feel like looking for one. So she found her own, and waited for someone to come in when they didn't have any other spaces. She had been waiting for a while, and no one had come into the compartment. Whoever was probably still looking for one.

She had wanted to sit at the back of the train because she had discovered that there were bigger compartments at the back of the train. She was glad, because she was a Malfoy and Malfoys needed a lot of room. Not that she acted like a Malfoy, but she still had the excuse of being one. The only thing that made her a Malfoy was her legal name, her blonde hair, and her house; Slytherin. Everything else, she was definitely different from her family in. And Rose took a lot of pride in that fact.

Rose sighed and sat down, looking outside the window, staring at the quickly-moving scenery. It was quiet...too quiet.

Rose turned around when she heard someone speaking. "Yeah, you can sit here. The question is may you sit here?" She smirked. She was only playing with him, but it was pretty funny to her. "I'm only playing, sure you can sit here. It's pretty boring with no one sitting with you." Rose recognized the boy, probably someone in her house, and started to speak.

"I'm Rose Malfoy. And, you are? She said, waiting for him to introduce himself. He didn't have to, she was just curious. She didn't want to have to sit in a train compartment with some dude whose name she didn't know. It would've been akward, and Rose didn't feel like dealing today.

"Yeah, I've been told that before." She grinned. She did have friends, but they were such followers! They did everything she did and adored her just because she was a Malfoy. Dear Merlin, it was only a name! Her siblings didn't feel like she did, and she mentally rolled her eyes. It was very annoying being a Malfoy at times, but she liked having some perks. Like her father being able to get her out of trouble whenever she did get into trouble(which was a lot).

"I ditched them. They all follow me around, just because of my name. So annoying." And trust her, it was annoying. Then he started basically sucking up to her just because of her name, like almost everybody else did. She sighed and rolled her eyes. "It's okay, you don't have to be nice just because I'm a Malfoy. Just covering my bases." She said, just to make it seem like he wasn't being too obvious.

"Hello Nick. Umm, third year, and no, not really glad to be back. You see, Hogwarts is just not big enough when you're avoiding family. But the Malfoy Manor is." Rose said, grinning cheekily. And when you lived in your own password protected wing of the house, it was.

"Good, because I get that way too much. I thought you were doing it too. And if you were, I would've tried to jump out of the compartment window." Rose joked. She would've tried to get out of the compartment no doubt, and that was one of her options. And then Rose heard him start talking about how her family did good for the world; the bad sort. She immediately wiped the grin off her face, and gave Nick a hard stare. She wasn't just any Malfoy, she was a good Malfoy. That was just how she was.

"I'm not evil like the rest of my family. I despise what they did. You're looking at the only good Malfoy." Rose said with pride. And it was true, she was proud that she was different than the rest of her family. The rest of her family was immersed in the dark arts, and she wasn't. She liked that fact, and she was glad that she had realized that bad was wrong when she was younger, and wasn't brainwashed like the rest of the Malfoy family.

"So if you want to walk now, because I'm not a regular Malfoy, you can do that. I won't mind, it's happened before." Rose said. She did mind, but it didn't show. It wasn't visible, she was a Malfoy, one of the Masters of Perfection Masks. That's what she did in public when she was with her family, except for the Malfoy Manor and Hogwarts. Other than that, they had to look like the perfect family. They were Malfoys, after all.

"Oh, that's fine. And yes, enough about names." Rose smiled. "It is, trust me. And no, I haven't. I could never imagine living in a small house with my family. That would be horrible. They are the worst." Rose rolled her eyes, a small smile playing on her face. They were the worst, Rose wasn't even exaggerating.

"I have two siblings, Suzannah and Scorpius, and they both go to Hogwarts. And I've got to tell you, worst set of people you've ever met." Rose said, laughing. "See, I'm the different one! I'm the only Malfoy child without a name starting with an 'S'. I was destined to be different." Rose joked. She believed that too, though.

"Yes, I've always been told I'd make a good Gryffindor. And thank you, a lot of people just look at me darkly and tell me I was a mistake. That's good though, I thought you'd be like every other Slytherin. It's good that you're not though, our house needs some originals." Rose grinned. It was true, her house was very predictable. Everyone was snotty, annoying, rude, and very follower-ish. It was really annoying that her house was so predictable and then there was her. The only people that she had met that were different were Alex Zabini, her brother, and Nick. It was very refreshing to be around those types of people.

"My parents didn't name me. Suzannah and Scorpius were fighting, so my godmother named me. My mom was being looked after by a nurse and they needed a name, so she gave me her middle name. My parents weren't very happy that I was named Rosalie instead of Saffron or Sandy or something like that." Rose laughed. It was pretty funny to her, because her name was always stressing her family out. There was Suzannah, then Scorpius, then Rosalie. It just didn't fit; it didn't work right for them.

"Aww, how sweet. Wish my brother was like that." Rose said, and it was true. She wished her brother and sister acted how she did and not like vicious little snots. It was horrible living in her house. It wasn't like a home at all, it was like a dictatorship. But of course, her being Rose, challenged everything. And it was very irritating.

"I don't really go to classes. I go, show up for about half the class, and then walk out. I get my dad to take care of anything I can't take care of. It's good to be a Malfoy, but only in that respect." Rose laughed. "And yes, I'm a prefects' worst nightmare. Oooh, beware!" Rose joked.
