Chapter one
Albus felt daunted walking onto the hogwarts express for the very first time,even though his father told him everything was going to be fine and not to worry he couldn't help but do so. It wasn't just the first day at a
wizarding school that left him feeling frightened but the upcoming event
of being sorted into the right house, all his family had been sorted
into griffindor, his parents and grandparents. Albus knew his mum and
dad would be proud either way but he wanted to be a griffindor just like
his dad.
Still worrying Albus went to go and find a booth on the
train with his best friend Rose, Albus had grown up with rose she wasn't
only his best friend but his cousin and they were very close she had
long red hair and was extremely intelligent just like her mum, aunt
Hermione.
After finding a booth where albus's elder brother James was sat Rose attempted to calm albus's nerves
"I don't know why you're worrying Albus uncle Harry told you that wherever
you're sorted to he'll be proud, you're named after a slytherin"
Albus
sat back and thought of the slytherin he'd been named after he'd never
met Severus, his name was Albus Severus after both the headmaster of
hogwarts and the potions master at hogwarts, he'd never met either of
them, they'd both died way before his birth but his dad often told him
amazing stories about them both. Both amazing wizards had died
protecting his parents and indeed Severus had been a slytherin and a
very good man. But he couldn't shake the worry of becoming a slytherin
and he knew why, bad people came from slytherin and one bad person in
particular.. Voldemort.
"It's the dreams" Albus told Rose
"Not the damn dreams again" Rose quipped at Albus
James over hearing the conversation asked his brother
"What dreams, not having nightmare again are we mummy's boy"
"Shut up James! He has dreams that he's helping voldemort it's all the stupid stories you keep telling him" rose butted in
"They're just dreams Albus don't worry" rose added
Albus closed his eyes and tried to stop worrying about the dream or the sorting hat.
As the train pulled into hogwarts Albus saw hagrid checking the children's names as they arrived
"Rose,
James, Albus, good to see yer" hagrid bellowed patting them all on the
back a little too hard. Hagrid sometimes forgot he was a giant and
needed to be a tad gentler.
"You looking forward to your first year at hogwarts" hagrid asked rose and Albus
"I
can't wait, will their be a test assigned today do you think because
I've been working hard all summer" Rose answered excitedly
Hagrid chuckles
"Just like yer mum rose, what about you Albus you look a bit lost there"
"I'm okay Hagrid just a bit worried about which house I'll be sorted into"
"What you worried about that for, you'll be fine, now come on and get inside before you get me into trouble"
Chapter 2
The great hall looked amazing, all the first years looked on in awe. Albus
had heard from his parents and James what to expect at hogwarts but
there was nothing that could prepare you for this.
Four long tables
across the room each with the house colours and flags above, slytherin
on the left then ravenclaw, hufflepuff and on the far right griffindor,
he could see james sat with his friends over at the griffindor table and
again made a silent wish that he too would be sorted into griffindor.
As Albus began to look around the room he noticed another table at the
very front of the room where all the teachers where sat he only
recognised one by face, Neville longbottom though he really must
remember to call him professor longbottom now he was his teacher,
Neville was a friend of his parents and also the schools herbology
teacher.
The hall went quiet as an elderly lady Albus assumed was
the headmistress Professor Mcgonagall stood to speak, she cleared her
throat
"Hello and welcome to hogwarts to our students old and new,
we hope this year to be an exciting one and that you're all eager to
learn. Any one of you sat in this hall could grow to be a great and
powerful wizard, as we have had many before. Now for our new students
it's the exciting time when you're sorted into your houses. Please step
forward when you hear your name called"
Albus felt sick, what was he
going to do, he heared the cheers as the other children where sorted
into their houses and then he herd the thing he'd dreaded hearing most
"Albus potter"
It was his turn, he stepped up and the hat was placed on his head
"Ahh
Albus potter, I was looking forward to meeting you. Now let me see..
Hmm another powerful wizard like your mother and your father I see.
Griffindor you say.. I see great things for you in.. SLYTHERIN"
