Albus potter and the unwound futureBy Katie .L.L. Notman
Prologue
"This is the story of albus potter, the greatest time traveller. His story must be stored in the archives of everlasting time as a guide and warning to past, present and future time travelers... "
She finished writing, threw the book into the dancing blue flames and dissaparated, into nothingness…
As the train rounded the corner, Albus slid open the door of the first compartment he came to. This was a bad move. He was chased out by a hoard of angry seventh years. The next time he was more fortunate. As he entered the second compartment, he caught sight of a small boy with mousy brown hair, who was sitting up in the luggage rack, holding his knees up to his chin. A small black kitten was asleep beside him on a thick red jumper.
The boy did not seem to realise Albus had entered the compartment, so Albus cleared his throat to make himself noticed. The boy looked down at Albus and smiled. Albus was slightly taken aback, because one of the boy's eyes was purple, and the other was hazel brown. .The boy noticed the confused look on Albus's face, and said
' oh, not again'. The small boy then shook his head and his eyes both turned green. He took out a mirror and examined his eyes. 'Close enough.' he sighed.
'My name is Thomas', he grinned. 'Sorry about the thing with the eyes. I'm a metamorphmagus and i can't really control my powers properly yet.'
Albus climbed into the luggage rack, his tiny kitten, Ginger, clinging to his back, mewling. 'I 'm Albus' he said, settling himself beside Thomas.
'Aren't you Harry Potter's son?' Thomas said
'yes' Albus replied.
Suddenly, a girl with a small pointed nose, light brown plaits, freckles and a look of terror on her face ran into the compartment. She pulled a silky, flowing, watery looking cloak out of the inside pocket of her robes and threw it over herself. Instantly she became invisible.
A moment later, a blonde boy wearing black Hogwarts robes and a horrible smile ran into the compartment, followed by two large, chubby, thick looking boys.
Albus noticed that the boys looked a lot like how his father had described Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, the horrible boys from his father's school days. He felt a sudden jolt of fear in the pit of his stomach. If these boys were related to his father's old foes, he would have to keep a close eye on them. A very close eye indeed.
It took a while for the boys to realise that there was anybody in the compartment, until the blonde boy looked straight up at Albus, Thomas and the cats.
"Well, well, well! Aren't you Albus Potter? Son of the man who made my father's life misery while he was at Hogwarts?"
Albus didn't know whether to say yes and be proud of it, or to steer clear of aggravating these boys…. Because now he knew. It was Scorpius Malfoy. And he was heading straight for the invisible girl, as if he knew where she was.
