The Story Continues.
"C'mon",said Albus; "before we die of embarassment. Lets just try and find ourselves a compartment",as he and Rose tried to
edge their way to find a compartment in the already full Hogwarts Express.As they moved on,they finally found a compartment
although it wasn't empty.
"Hello",said Rose trying to extend a friendly hand to the scared boy sitting on the seat inside.Scorpius Malfoy did not
answer."Hey...it's ok.We know who you are and I bet my broomstick you know who we are.But it's ok.I dont think I want to
bring our parents enemity between our friendship",tried Albus."Hi anyways I'm Albus Severus Potter but you can call me Al".
"Hey,I'm Scorpius Malfoy but I guess you already knew that",he said."And you're Rose Weasley...my dad told me that your mom
was the smartest in their year".
The three of them soon became very comfortable to each others presence and began discussing the sorting of houses,when the
door to their compartment slid open and they saw two boys standing outside the compartment.The thinnest had a look of
superiority on his face and walked in uninvited giving Scorpius a murderous glare.
"Why are you talking to the Potter boy and the blood traiter Weasley girl?" he questioned Scorpius demandingly."They are my
friends",Scorpius said sounding much braver and confident than earlier."And if you have any problem with that Jacques you
might as well just do me a last favour and clear out",he finished."I dont care what you say Scorpius but I am just warning
you...your mother won't be very happy with your choice of friends",added Jacques."And so all I was trying to do was keep you
away from scum like them.It was now Albus' chance..He rose from his seat and said,"I dont think any of us here are hard of
hearing and I so advice you to do as he says and buzz off".So the two boys turned and left scowling at the three of them.
"Who were those prats?",asked Rose as Albus sat down."Jacques Zabini and Otto Nott",replied Scorpius."Their fathers are my
dad and mom's friends.My dad doesnt like their fathers too much but my mom thinks that they are good.Otto's grandfaher used
to be a big supporter of 'You-Know-Who' before your father killed him",he said to Albus."Thanks anyways for sticking up for
me",said Sorpius."No problem,thats what friends do isn't it",replied Albus.
And as Scorpius smiled,Albus looked him carefully and knew that this was maybe the best thing anybody had ever said to him.
