Albus Potter still sat still in the trains compartment with his cousin Rose Weasley. He was drowning out the all the sounds around him including that of his cousins. He was sitting up straight looking at her with a look like he actually cared what she was saying. " And did you know that……oh and….this". Is all he heard from her. Albus saw her mouth move but that was all.

The reason he wasn't listening was because he was tired from a day of torture and lecturing. All day his brother James hat taunted him about being sorted into Slytherin or being sorted into the nearly as bad Hufflepuff. Rose on the other hand had taken the liberty of copying study schedules for them and enforced them on Albus. She had told Albus that when they got sorted into Gryffindor they would be spending afternoons in the library nights studying in the common room and breakfast, lunch, and dinner quizzing each other giving him a lot on his plate. She was the spitting image of Aunt Hermione Albus's dad and his friends always said.

" So Albus what do you think about Hogwarts from what I've read just read about it". Rose said to him with a slightly serious and part joking face. " Well…..ummmm". Albus said in response to his red headed cousin. " You didn't listen did you". She said to the black haired kid sitting across the way from her. " Well… actually no". Albus said to her laughing.

" So I read all this out loud for nothing". She said angrily. " I guess so". Albus said putting his hand behind his back. Rose then continued to throw her book at him which was a shock to both of them. By now they were halfway into the ride and the Snack Lady was due to come. After picking the book up Rose and Albus put their money together so they could both get something.

Rose had went back to her side of the compartment and Albus stayed on his. They silently awaited the snack lady to come. Rose passed her time by reading her charms book " With a Flick of a Wand " By Filius Flitwick while Albus passed his time daydreaming. Albus saw himself sit on the stool in front of hundreds of student.

He pictured the hat being placed apon his head. He could see the hat's ragged smile shout " Slytherin". He pictured James, Fred, Victoria, Rose and the rest of the school looking at him disappointedly. He pleaded with the hat but it was two late. He was in the common room surrounded by his fellow students but they weren't human. All Albus saw was snakes that were hissing at him. They circled around him quickly. He saw his brother in the back of them all.

Albus pleaded with him but all James did was laugh. The snakes lunged at Albus wrapping themselves around him. His screams weren't heard by anyone he was left to die at the hand of the beasts. In the distance he could here a voice calling out to him. " Albus…..Albus, Albus". The voice said calmly. He reached out to the noise. He neared it when he was woken up with a strong shove. Albus was sweating all over . His cousin Rose was standing next to him with a worried look on her face.

Albus sat up straight and looked at her. She decided not to say anything to him and took something out of her pocket. Rose handed him a Chocolate Frog she had bought with his money and told him it was time to get his robes on. " Okay…..". Albus said to her noticing she was already dressed.

Albus gathered his things and exited the compartment and ventured into the corridor. On his way toward the changing rooms Albus happened to bump into someone. They didn't say sorry or even acknowledge that they had collided they had just picked there stuff up and went about there way. And ff you're wondering why I'm including this is because the person Albus bumped into happened to be Scorpius Malfoy.
