A glimpse into the past

A.N- even though I would love to own harry potter I don't all rights to these characters go to the every wonderful J.K Rowling.

Third person P.O.V Albus;

The time is 6:46 in the potter manor as twelve year old Albus Severus Potter sat at the desk in his room doing his transfiguration homework he had received after finishing his second year at Hogwarts. It was quiet, too quiet. Any normal person would find this comforting, theability to finish one's homework in silence, but any resident or visitor to the potter household would know to grab a frying pan and hide under the nearest table.

Cautiously Al stood up grabbing his 10" hollywood and Phoenix feather wand. Even though young Albus was of course underage, the wards around the house the ever paranoid Harry Potter, his father, had placed around their home meant that even his younger sister, Lily Luna, could cast a full fledged patronus and the Ministry would be none the wiser.

Opening his bedroom door with a creak, Al saw that the corridor was empty. Opening his door wider fear flooded him. With all of his cousins and his god brother (even though they considered him their actual brother) over chaos should have occurred already, but the house remained ever quiet.

Pushing away the temptation to investigate further Albus turned to walk back into his room and try to at least start his homework when a loud crash and cry emitted from down the hall. He breathed a sigh of relief when his younger cousin Rose Weasley walked out of the room across the hall, looking as confused and intrigued as him.

After a silent conversation with their eyes the two Ravenclaws agreed to investigate where the noise came from and the cause of the ruckus. Walking down the hallway the cries and shouts increase in volume until they reach the source of the noise. His father's study. He remembered times when he was little when his father and him would sit there and he would tell him stories about dragons, villains and heroes. His older brother James sirius would often sit with them both, but now that room was off limits. This only peaked his curiosity. Why would they be in dad's study?

Rose, not waiting for Al, opened the door only to find the Potter-Weasley clan in a pile on the floor. Fred Weasley II, James Sirius and Teddy Lupin were all fighting over something that sparkled gold when the sunlight hit it. Louis, Dominique and Molly Weasley were all placing bets on who would win while Roxanne, Victoire and Lily Luna comforted a crying Lucy who had blood dripping down her hand. Hugo Weasley, younger brother of Rose, just watched with an excited yet shameful expression. The study was covered in grain like substance that continued to leak from the object the three boys on the floor were fighting over.

Hearing the door open the occupants in the room all whipped their head to see who entered. Their eyes widened and all of them had a look of fear, except Lucy who was still crying. It would have looked comically if it wasn't for the now red faced Rose whose red hair matched her temper. Those who had unfortunately faced the wrath of Rose Weasley before covered their ears.

Hugo who looked particularly frightened began to creep backwards before stumbling and tripping over his own two feet. He held his arms out to break his fall and in turn knocked over the content on Al's Dad's desk. Drawing in a breathe everyone looked at the wisps of silver smoke that had sprung from the mess on the floor and grabbed the thing closest to them which just happen to be each other. Before they could scream they were sucked into the silver smoke leaving a dishevelled office in their wake.
