A/N: Well, This starts off where the epilogue in Deathly Hallows ended. I do not own Harry Potter, J.K Rowling does.

Slytherin.

Albus Severus Potter dreaded the thought of having being put in Slytherin. You-Know-Who himself was in that house long ago. He knew that most Slytherins today were all right, but still...their dark reputation still lingered. His cousin, Rose Weasley, was thinking the exact same thing. The two had a lot to live up to. Al's father was the famous Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, The Chosen One. Nineteen years ago, Harry defeated Voldemort in an epic battle. As Al heard it, Voldemort was hit with his own rebounding curse. Rose Weasley came from a whole line of Gryffindors, and if she was sorted in Slytherin, it would break her family's heart. The two sat across from each other in the train compartment, as Albus had his best friends, Lorcan and Lysander Scamander(A/N: Luna's kids)sitting next to him. Rose also had Neville and Hannah's daughter, Alice Longbottom, sitting next to her as well. "Hi, er, may I sit here?" a boy with whitish-blondish hair asked nervously. Al recognized him as Scorpius Malfoy, the boy Uncle Ron was talking about on the platform, the son of Draco Malfoy. "Sure," Al shrugged. He could feel Rose glaring at him.

"I'm Scorpius Malfoy." He said, shaking everyone's hand. Everyone introduced themselves as well.

"What house do you want to be in?" asked Brennan Finnigan.

"Hmm. My whole family has been in Slytherin. My mum, dad, and grandmum don't really care if I get sorted in anywhere else but Slytherin, but grandad says it's a must. I guess I want to be in Gryffindor. I don't care if granddad'll beat me up, he doesn't have a wand anymore, anyway."

Al couldn't believe it. Malfoy? A Gryffindor? Is Scorpius did get sorted into Gryffindor, he would've been the first Malfoy that was a Gryffindor. Now that made Albus and Rose feel worse.

"Me, I want to be in Ravenclaw. Like our mum." Lorcan said.

"I want to be in Gryffindor,"

All this talk about sorting made Al squirm. Rose piped up, "You'd better get into your robes, then." Al strongly suspected that was to get everyone's mind off the Sorting ceremony. A few minutes later, everyone was in their crisp, new Hogwarts robes. "Anything off the cart, dears?" A lady pushing a cart full of sweets said.

"Anything, guys? I've got some money from Gringotts," Albus offered.

"Chocolate Frogs! I just need your dad, Al!" Brennan laughed.

"Bertie Bott's, please?" The twins chimed.

"I'll have Chocolate Frogs." Alice said.

"Pumpkin Pasties," Both Rose and Scorpius said. Rose blushed.

Al paid the woman his money and poured all of the candy on the table. "Wow! You bought extras?" Scorpius asked in amazement. "Of course," Al replied. "I have to spend all of my cash because I won't need them this year." For the next twenty minutes, they talked, laughed, and hungrily ate their sweets. Brennan whooped because he finally got Harry Potter("Thank you, Al!")in his Chocolate Frog. "We are approaching our destination. Please prepare to get off the train." a voice suddenly said. Al looked out his window. There it was. Hogwarts.
