Nineteen Years Later: Albus Potter's Story
Don't read this if you haven't read all of the Harry Potter books. It wouldn't make much sense.
Disclaimer:I don't own Harry Potter (duh!)
Btw- when there are words in italics, it means that the characters are thinking.
I didn't steal the title "Nineteen Years Later," I merely named it that because this story takes place nineteen years later.
Chapter 1: On the way to Hogwarts
Albus Potter anxiously gripped his seat as the Hogwarts Express rattled along the track. He was sitting in the same compartment as Rose. All he could think about was hopefully not getting into Slytherin.
"Do you think you'll be in Slytherin?" Albus asked Rose nervously.
"No," Rose replied. "Everyone in our family has been in Gryffindor. What about you?"
"I hope I'm in Gryffindor like my dad. All the evil witches and wizards come from Slytherin."
"I really wouldn't mind Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, as long as I'm not in Slytherin," Rose told Albus who seemed to be shaking more than the Hogwarts Express did on the tracks.
"You – Know – Who was in Slytherin. My life would be over if I ever had to be in that house. My dad told me that when he was being sorted he chose—"
"Hey guys," James said panting heavily. "I just picked a fight with Scorpius Malfoy!! You've got to come see what I did to him!!"
Albus and Rose followed James to the back of the train. Scorpius was suspended in midair by his ankles three sizes bigger than he was before.
"George taught me Engorgio and Levicorpus." James announced with satisfaction. "I think ickle Scorpius looks better that way."
Albus and Rose nodded in agreement to James. Albus was really quite frightened at what James did despite the fact it was amusing. He was scared of something like that happening to him.
"Get me down from here!" a muffled voice yelled behind an enlargened face.
"Alright," James said before muttering a few words.
Scorpius fell to the floor with a loud thud.
Albus didn't like what James did to Scorpius, because he knew that the only reason James was bullying Scorpius is because Scorpius is from the Malfoy family. Scorpius was lying on his back still three times too big, and he was insanely flailing his arms in a failed attempt to roll over. Everyone left the compartment except Albus. He felt sorry for Scorpius.
"Sorry about what James did to you," Albus said apologetically.
"It's ok," Scorpius replied with a muffled voice. "Can you get me back to normal?"
"Well... James did teach me Reducio, but I'm not really good at magic."
"Just try the spell. It'll work. You're Harry Potter's son for Christ's sake!"
"Ok. I guess I'll try. Reducio!" Albus muttered nervously.
Scorpius shrank slowly until he was back to normal. Albus was very shocked at what he had done. Completely opposite of his father, Albus had skills in magic that were most formidable, and would send any witch or wizard running and screaming for help.
"Thanks Albus. I never knew that someone from a Gryffindor family could be nice to me."
"Just because you're from the Malfoy family doesn't mean you're evil," Albus replied. "What house do you think you'll get sorted into?"
"I don't know. Probably Slytherin since everyone in my family was in Slytherin."
"Voldemort was in Slytherin. I feel sorry for anyone who gets sorted into that house."
"Voldy's gone moldy. There's nothing to worry about. There's no more Death Eaters. My dad was stupid enough to be one. Imagine what people think about me."
Wow. They must think he's evil like his dad was. Why do people always think the wrong things? I'm Harry Potter's son, but I'm the worst wizard of all time. Scorpius isn't evil! People need to stop judging us based on what our parents did. I mean, if someone's dad was a crazy drunk who went around talking to random muggles in Chinese, then I wouldn't think that their kids would be weird...or would I?

"No Death Eaters eh?" a mysterious girl said to herself quietly. "We'll see about that."
She looked through the glass into Albus's compartment. So this is what Harry Potter's youngest son looks like. HE'S SO HOT!! It's a shame that I have to get rid of him.
The Hogwarts Express was nearing the castle, so the girl decided to enter Albus's compartment. She sat down next to Albus.
"Hi," she said to Albus.
"Hello," Albus replied nervously.
Wow!! She's pretty!! I can't believe a pretty girl is sitting next to me right now! Scorpius better back off!! I saw her first!
"I'm Cassie," the girl told Albus. "What's your name?"
"Albus," he said, staring into Cassie's bright blue eyes.
"You're named after the greatest wizard of all time!!" Cassie exclaimed excitedly.
"Um... thanks," Albus said scooting closer to her.
Yes! It's working! He totally likes me!
The Hogwarts Express screeched to a stop, and the first years were instructed to get on the boats. Albus and Cassie sat on the same boat, and were both astonished at the sight of Hogwarts and the gleaming Black Lake. They reached the end of the water, only to meet the strict and very old Professor McGonagall.
"Welcome to Hogwarts! We are very pleased that you are to become our newest students," the professor announced. "We will now proceed to the Great Hall where you all will be sorted."
Finally! I'm going to be sorted! This is something I've dreamed of for years. I hope that I'll please Dad and get into Gryffindor like James. I have to get into Gryffindor... I just have to.

Yay!! Chapter 1 is finally done!! I know McGonagall's super old, but she's an important part of the story. I'll get more chapters in as soon as I can because the plot gets more exciting. Maybe Albus and Cassie will go out. It could happen!! :)
