After shaking hands with Harry and buying their wands, they needed to get other stuff Florence told Harry that they would see each other in the Hogwarts express giving a smile; she walked to find her weasley family hoping to find them sooner pushing her cart alone. Florence was going to walk over until she stopped seeing Draco in front rolling her eyes this could not happen, now what did he want, needing to get to her family she then glared at him and spoke.

"Get out of the way Malfoy...," her tone sounded a bit off.

"So, I see you ended up with the weasley's." Draco cringed his nose and sneered.

"Yes... and your point?" Florence replied out of boredom.

Grinning he had that evil look in his eyes that always said danger of course, she was never scared of him considering the fact she was a death eater at this age. It was for reason that Voldemort wanted to use her due to Harry.

"My father and I made a bet you see," he walked around the cart and right in front of her. "That you would end up with either the longbottoms' or the weasley's, and now father owes me." He gave her a head nod "now thanks to you."

"Great... can I go now?" she replied sarcastically.

With a nod of approval she finally walked in between the twins and saw that they were ready to run in only to see harry come in, a slight blush showed on her cheeks Fred and George saw it grinning until Molly came to tell them they were next after Percy. Moreover, as usual they would do a usual joke with their mother by messing up the names.

"He's not Fred, I am!" George said

Nodding Fred agreed, "Honestly woman, you call yourself our mother."

"Oh, I'm sorry George." Molly apologized.

Fred then went up to his mother with his cart and that smile on his face "I am only joking, I am Fred!"

With that both twins disappeared as Florence followed along behind them, she wanted to get a good spot between at least half her siblings looking around the compartments, as some are full a slight frown showed on her face.

"You can sit with us." Harry spoke.

Having no other choice she grabbed her bag and sat down with them, she gave a slight nod to her adopted brother Ron and gave a smile to Harry. Florence saw they had candy as Ron passed her the Bertie Botts every flavored beans for her to eat smiling as a thank you it was a quiet ride until he spoke to break out the silence.

"Harry, this is my adopted sister, Florence." Ron told him.

"Yeah," he said looking towards her while eating a Licorice Snap "we met at Ollivanders." He continued trying to break apart a candy.

~~Night~~

... ...

As the trip felt dull while she heard them talking about nonsense and the fact his rat did not turn the way Fred told him to, even she knew it was to prank his brother grabbing her suitcase the first years were taken to the great hall. Now in between Ron and Harry while walking up the staircase to be sorted, as the doors open, all of them were led to a large stool each name called until.

"Weasley, Florence." McGonagall called out.

Squeezing her eyes shut so embarrassed she always was as Ron, Fred and George even Percy got worried about her, McGonagall set the hat down waiting for it to speak she was going to be a tricky one to sort as he moved a bit on her head.

"Well, well... what do we see, hmm bright indeed very and bravery oh yes," Said the hat "now where to put you."

It did not take long as the hat said

GRYFFINDOR!

She breathed out a whole lot of air glad that was over, Florence ran over to the Gryffindor table and sat in between the twins. They always loved their adopted sister beside them, if Percy was not around then they could protect her, it seems though she grew attached to them and they liked that, after Dumbledore spoke she could see a whole bunch of food. Chicken, as she began to dig in and heard Seamus talking about his family heritage how he is half and half of muggle born and a witch, how Harry asked about the dark-haired man watching from the staff table.

"So Florence, what about you" Harry turned to her.

"What about me what?" she wiped her mouth

"Where did you come from, besides what it looks like the weasley's." he smiled.

Nodding she wiped herself in her robes explaining, "I actually had no family before they took me in, I was actually alone. Lost my family probably dead by now." She gave a shrug "does not matter now." Her tone was a bit off.

As the first years followed Percy, looking around the walls towards the common room getting ready for bed as it was quite late.

~~9:00pm~~

... ...

Florence could not sleep it was nine at night, she sat at the window not sensing someone come over, petting Hedwig who liked her immediately when she was Harry's owl. Seeing him, come over he smiled lightly sitting across from her taking a glance.

"I see she likes you, she's a really beautiful bird." Harry stroked her back.

"Yeah, she is." She replied softly.

Silence took its toll until Harry spoke looking towards her; he felt something with her and like a bond began to reach. The two had no family either the dursley's did not count for Harry and as for Florence well the weasley's were worth it for family, but with Draco annoying her she shook her thoughts and smiled looking to Harry noticing he was staring at her.

"Why, are you staring at me?" she said playfully.

A smile formed on his lips as he talked "nothing, I just want to know why you lied."

"I did not though," she kept stroking Hedwig "there are somethings I cannot tell you Harry, but I can see we are the same, no parents."

Harry nodded "that's me as well, like I said at the table."

The two new friends talked for hours, until two or three in the morning sitting at the window of the common room in Gryffindor it was like knowing someone since forever a friend you can share secrets with both Harry and Florence had found something in each other they never knew their parents. Florence although thought about it for a while, she had a deep feeling that Voldemort might have killed them, she might be wrong. Her head was dizzy and tired she smiled and told harry she was going to bed heading to her room with the girls.

Getting in her pajamas, she moved the blankets and slipped in bed closing her eyes, to try to get some sleep for class in the morning.
