Albus Severus-Train ride to Hogwarts September 1, 2017
I sit next to Rose and James, who look far too relaxed. As I look out the window; my mother is blowing a kiss as she holds my father's hand. My father, the great Harry Potter, looks at me and smiles proudly. I waved to him confidently, I am going to Hogwarts. It's what I have always wanted.
Lily is crying, she is exactly two years away from taking her first journey to Hogwarts, to reassure her I wave at her and blow her a tiny kiss. I love my baby sister, what can I say? The train started to roll and I sit back, I glance at my family one more time, my mother has tears in her eyes. Her baby boy, going to Hogwarts, unbelievable she has been saying lately.
I sit back, and think about Hogwarts, how different it will be. James says it's amazing and wonderful, everything you could dream of. But here is the thing, James and I, we are completely different people. He is brave, bold, joking, athletic, and social. He is a true Gryffindor. Now I on the other hand, was not much of any of that. I consider myself reserved, smart, and compassionate. I can play Quidditch, but only a Seeker like my father. I am not brave or witty like the rest of my family seems to be. Lily is smart and sweet; father says she is just like mum. Me, I don't know where I fit in. All I know is I really want to be in Gryffindor, it's where the Potters seem to belong. But like I said, I am nothing like my siblings.
The train ride goes by faster than I hoped for. James and Fred ran off, playing jokes on other kids. Rose sits across from me, her head in a book. This year is her first year as well, although she does not look nervous whatsoever. "Rose?" I ask her.
"Yes, Al?" she responds as she pushes the book away.
"You nervous?" I question.
She shrugs and looks out the window. "Mum says her Hogwarts years were some of the best ones of her life. So no Al, I am not nervous, I am excited. You will be fine you know, ever since we were kids you were the strong one," Rose said, giving me a reassuring smile. Rose was so much like her mother, but she had a bit of a sense of humor like her father. Her red hair was bushy but it framed her face just right.
"I hope you are right," I told her.
"Aren't I always?" she says jokingly.
At that moment, I am graced with the presence of my cousins. Dominique, Louis, Victorie, and Molly open our compartment. "Your brother is running amuck already," Dominique informs me.
I roll my eyes, this certainly is not news. "What else is news? Are we almost to Hogwarts?" I ask them.
My cousins laugh. "Why you nervous?" Louis asks. Louis is his second year, and is afraid of no one and nothing. He loves adventure, he reminds me of my uncle Charlie. Louis will do any bet, guaranteed.
I shrug. "Maybe," I say.
Victorie, now a seventh year takes a seat next to me, puts her arms around my shoulders. "Albus, you will be fine. Trust me," Victorie said. When Victorie said something, you could not help but believe her, she is sweet and kind. She is perfect for Teddy, the best god brother in the world.
"Besides, you're a Potter, you will have no trouble fitting in," Dominique said patting me on the shoulder, giving me a smile. Dominique is a fourth year; she is smart and loves to talk. Dom is popular and a chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
Molly gives a shy laugh and nods. "Albus, we'll all do fine," she assures me. Molly is only a first year like me; and is just like grand-mum.
"Thanks guys," I say.
At that moment James comes running into our compartment, he throws something that gives off a terrible odor, Fred gives him a high five. Louis runs after then, ruffling Fred's hair amusingly. I laugh and turn back to the window. I see Hogwarts. I've been there before, for the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, but never before had I realized how magnificent it was. It was truly a beautiful sight.
First chapter, I plan on switching points of views, but there will probably by a lot of Albus, Rose, Victorie, James, and Scorpius. If you like the story, please review and let me know!
