My name is Albus Severus Potter. Everyone at school thinks that I am a muggle born with a very bad grasp on magic. I didn't want anybody to know that I am the son of the boy who lived so I got everyone hat knows who I am to pretend that my real name is just plain Jack. I want to go home.
My first day, as soon as I got on the train I slipped away from my brother and best friend, giving tem both a hug before going to sit with a group of muggle borns who won't expose me for who I am. A small blonde boy ho I recognised as the Malfoy boy was dragged down the corridor of the train by two Slytherin fifth years as they hit him. That boy's grandmother saved my dad's life, I knew that I owed him and so I slipped down the corridor after him with my wand in my hand. I already knew how to cast a dissoulousment charm and so I cast one and ran down the corridor. I kicked the bigger of the two really hard right in the stomach and stamped on the smaller ones foot. When they were both still confused a cast a full body bind curse and started down the corridor with Malfoy in tow. When we got close to the muggle born carriage I lifted the dissoulosement charm and saw his eyes widen. As he was about to blurt out my name I gently shook my head and he nodded. I now had an ally. As he watched I started to transfigure various parts of my appereance- changed my hair to a dirty blonde and lengthened it a little, my eyes went to green from brown and I grew two inches. For the fun of it I decided to put in the slightly snubbed nose that grandma Lilly had, I have seen the pictures.
We continued much of the rest of the journey in such companionable silence. I introduced Scorpius to the muggle borns and they reciprocated by introducing themselves. I had a couple of muggle books in my trunk along with my school books and so I got them out and showed them to Malfoy. The other muggle borns laughed a bit- I had bought some of the most familiar ones from the muggle part of my home library- a gift from granddad Weasely. When the lunch trolley came Malfoy bought some chocolate frogs and bertie botts every flavour beans with some of his money and a couple of galleons that I discreetly slipped into his pocket. I pretended to be amazed at the frogs. To my complete horror, we got Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Dad, Aunt Hermione, Uncle Ron and mum. Uncle Neville was offered to be on the cards but both he and Aunt Luna refused because as Herbology and Astronamy teachers of Hogwarts, they considered it not appropriate. We also got a couple of others that were nothing to do with me. I scowled slightly at Malfoy, who could hardly contain himself at my utter discomfort. He realised then that I didn't want anybody to know about me, so badly wanted to remain an unknown, that he began to talk about his life at the manor and about a brief history of the Wizarding world in the last twenty or so years as the Bertie Botts every flavour beans were passed around. It seemed like no time at all before we were all at the school, on the Hogsmede platform, ready to go down to the boats for the customary boat ride over the lake. I knew about the squid and also knew that this was another test to fit in with the muggle borns.
When I finally got into the school after the ride across the boat I was immediately met with another problem. The sorting hat speaks and...and your name is read out in front of the whole school by Aunt Minnie- I mean professor Mcgonagoll. I saw a slight movement out of the corner of my eye. It was James! He smiled and noded his head. He had told Aunt Minnie about the plan and she had agreed. My name is now officially Jack.
She called us all up, one by one and we all went up. I was really scared because I still wasn't sure if anybody would notice, I still wanted to cry a little, but I didn't mind. I knew that any house that I was placed in then my mum and dad wouldn't mind. I was still pretty nervous though, as "Jack" was called out and I slowly ascended up to the three legged stool at the front of the hall. I screamed silently in my head, over and over. I was so desperate to pull this off. I didn't want to be known as a Potter wonder child until I had made all of my friends because I didn't want it to affect it all. I silently scanned the hall and I managed to Zero in on Rosie's face as she still waited to be sorted. She was smiling and that gave me the strength to let the hat see into my head . . . . . . . . . SLYTHERIN!
