Albus Potter P.O.V.

I was so nervous right now! I was really freaking out, what if I'm in Slytherin! It calmed me down a bit when my dad told me the story about telling the hat what he wanted, but still I'm really scared. It doesn't help that James won't leave me alone about it.

Right now, I was sitting in a boat with Rose and a quiet boy who had whitish blond hair. I'm pretty sure he's a Malfoy. My dad and his dad didn't get along real well. Maybe he was different from his dad though. He seemed pretty polite and quiet. I decided to talk to him. Rose was just getting annoying on all of her theories and how we needed to start homework schedules and stuff.

"Hello, my name is Albus Potter, what's yours?", I asked.

"Scorpius Malfoy, nice to meet you", the boy said. Whoa he's totally different than his father, that's for sure!

"What house do you want to get in?", I asked. I was expecting him to say Slytherin.

"Well, my whole family was in Slytherin, but I don't know if that's the house I want to be in. What about you? Gryfindor, I guess because you're a Potter.", Scorpius finished.

"Yeah Gryfindor", I answered. I wasn't sure what to make of this boy. A Malfoy saying he didn't want to be in Slytherin. That's just crazy!

"I'm a little nervous about the sorting", I told Scorpius.

"Me too, I don't want to disappoint my family, but oh I don't know.", Scorpius sighed.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about them, you're at Hogwarts now ", Rose cut in.

By the time the three of us had just started talking about what classes we were looking forward to the most the boats were across the lake and we were walking up to the castle. It looked beautiful with all the twinkling lights in the windows and the majestic towers. I'd never seen anything look so pretty in my life.

"Wow its pretty isn't it", Scorpius said.

"Amazing", I answered.

Rose just stood there in awe. Then, Professor McGonagall took us into a room to wait to be sorted. I was so nervous I was shaking. Rose and Scorpius looked in no better condition.

Slowly one by one students were called. Soon, it was Scorpius's turn. He nodded to me and Rose, almost like saluting us. Then, he walked into the Great Hall and it was awhile before the hat called.......

"Gryfindor"

We heard a lot of people gasp and then the Gryfindor table erupted in cheers. Rose and I just looked at each other. Whoever heard of a Malfoy being sorted into Gryfindor! Then again, Scorpius had surprised me a lot that night.

Before long, it was just me, Rose, and a couple other kids left waiting to be sorted.. Then, I heard McGonagall say Potter, Albus. Rose patted me on the back, and then I walked into the Great Hall. I saw A lot of faces staring up at me and felt like I might throw up. Somehow, I got to the stool and the hat was placed on my head.

"Ah a Potter, I see. Yes, Yes just like your father I see. Just like I told him, you would be great in Slytherin. But, I see you want to be in Gryfindor. So be it. GRYFINDOR!", the hat called.

I wanted to whoop I was so happy. I had gotten into Gryfindor! I walked down to the cheering Gryfindor table. I sat down by Scorpius who grinned at me. I could tell he was happy. Maybe this was the beginning of a long friendship. Then, I heard McGonagall call Weasley, Rose.

Rose walked to the stool and sat down. She looked very pale. After a few seconds the hat called, "Gryfindor". I was so happy! All three of us had made it into Gryfindor. Rose sat down across from me and smiled. I couldn't wait to write to Mum and Dad!
