a/n. I own nothing,I'm just borrowing the characters JK Rowling won't mind.
Chapter 1
Albus Potter strolled around the trains corridors in search of a place to sit. there was no way he could sit in the same compartment asJames and his second year friends was there? his pride wouldn't allow it. every compartment was filling up rapidly and if he didn't get a move on he may have to sit out here in the train started to pick up speed as he pulled back the grubby glass door of the next compartment only to find another boy about his age with white hair,grey eyes and a pointed boy didnt seem to notice his arrival so he cleared his throat to let the boy know he was there. The boy looked up and held out his hand as if they were old friends"the name's Scorpius and you are?"he took the boys hand and shook it"Albus Potter" "Harry Potter's son" Albus nodded "My Father and your Father weren't on the best of terms and you have probably already decided not to be friends with me but your family saved my dad during the battle despite what he had done, and the malfoys don't forget things like that. " Albus breathed a sigh of relief,he didn't fancy making enemies before he even reached Hogwarts and obviously this boy had similar thoughts on the matter. Albus looked out the window noticing London had slipped away and they were gliding past fields,trees,rivers and cattle Albus turned around and spoke up"so what house do you reckon you'll be in ". Scorpius tore his eyes away from the scenery "Slytherin,what else,my family has been in that house before the beginning of time. plus,my father would have a fit if I wasn't"."what about you?"Scorpius asks mildly curious"Gryfffindor or Slytherin, I wouldn't mind .dad says he will be proud either way, it's Uncle Ron I'm worried about, he would probably disown me. So absolutely no pressure on Rosie"."Rosie?" Scorpius asks confused ."yeah"remarked Albus "She's my cousin". The compartment door slides open loudly and in walks a girl with long copper hair and green eyes .Albus knew her to be Modesty Wood."Hi Al" she says brightly for she spends every summmer over at Rosie and Hugo's House playing Quiditch with him,James Rosie and some of his other cousins.."Late again"he says to her teasingly."fashionably"she counters quickly."and you are?" she says noticing Scorpius. "Scorpius Malfoy" he answers."no points for guessing what house you're going to be sorted into"she comments. "what about you "he asks " I just hope we all get sorted" she states quietly. Albus turns pale and Scorpius face falls with dread. "we'll be fine"stutters Albus as much to reassure himself as the other two. Silence falls among the three of them as the scarlet train puffs it's way towards the future.
About an hour later an irritated Rosie barges into the compartment"I was looking for you everywhere Al. I thought you'd gotten lost or something " she says sternly bushy red locks flying in all directions."I told my dad I'd keep an eye on you and everything" Albus turns crinson and turns to look at his toes. Rosie then greets Modesty and plops down on a seat opening her book. Scorpius looks on amused by Rosie's enterance."you're a Malfoy aren't you questions Rosie after a while. "yeah"states Scorpius thinking it unwise to say more judging by the look of dislike on Rosie's face. Albus quickly changes the subject to Quiditch teams before Rosie got the chance to quote Uncle Ron.
Half an hour later the trolley appears outside their compartment calming the conversation in which Albus and Modesty were defending The Chudley Canons honour against the wrath of Scorpius Malfoy and Rosie hadn't looked up from her book since sharing her distaste for anything concerned with the Malfoys. the trolley in all it's glory displaying stacks and stacks of cauldron cakes ,liquorice wands,Bertie Botts every flavoured beansand chocolate frog. They splurged on lots of sweets and sat reasonably quite and content for the rest of the train ride.
Albus peered out of the window. The sky was beginning to darken. He could see Mountains and forests under a deep purple sky stretching out gracefully from horizon to horizon. Thd train was beginning to slow down. Albus felt like a vast bundle of nerve,Scorpius looked even paler,Modesty was turning a waxen shade of green and Rosie's face was still hidden by her book. The four of them joined the other student congregating in the corridors. Peoople pushed and shoved to get out of the train and into the night air. Albus spotted his godfathers enormous head over the sea of students "Firs' years" "firs'years" "this way""Hullo Al,Rosie,Mo" "Firs' years" " over here". All the first years followed Hagrid down a steep,narrow path ,everybody was completely silent. "Yeh'll see Hogwarts now in a few,jus' round this bend now. There it was seated atop a large mountain in all it's majesty with high towers and winding turrets,it windows dazzling like lanterns in the night. "Four to a boat no more 'n' four to a boat now firs' years" bellowed Hagrid"forward now firs' years". and the fleet of boat took off across the great black lake. All were silent staring in awe at the castle's eerie beauty as they sailed closer to where it stood. They boats carried them gently along a dark tunnel towards a tiny harbour. They walked up a flight of heavy stone staits and loitered aroumd a large mahogany raised his fist ans knocked on the bulky castle door
a/n if anybody was wondering where i got the name Modesty from. it is a name i found in Quiditch Through the Ages.I thought Oliver Wood's daughter would have a Quiditch related name. anyway, if you think it is good review.:)
