Harry Potter- The Next Generation Chapter 1

Hi Guys! So this is my first ever fanfiction and also the first chapter of Harry Potter- the next generation. I'm really excited to start writing this and I hope you have as much fun reading it.

Disclaimer: I have added characters myself, but the ideas in the Harry Potter series is all my hero J.K Rowling's work.

The bright red engine stood gleaming on the tracks. The noise was cheery- parents huddling around, wishing there children luck and waving them goodbye. Harry Potter stood hand in hand with his wife Ginny, and three children who awaited another year at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.

"There they are! Ron, Hermione!" Ginny called merrily to another couple and their children.

It was a happy reunion. After a long summer holiday, James Potter and his brother Albus were returning back to school with the Weasly's children, Rose and Hugo. It also happened to be Lily Potter's first year. She was ecstatic.

"Dad! Dad, will I get to go to Hogsmeade like James is?"

"Calm down Lil", Harry Potter said, laughing. It had been 21 years since the defeat of Lord Voldermort, and Harry couldn't be happier. "You can't go to Hogsmeade yet. Only 3rd years go there, and James is in his 4th now. I expect Albus will bring you back some sweets from Honeydukes if you ask nicely!"

The Hogwarts express gave a shrill whistle to signal that it was leaving soon.

"Quick!" Hermione kissed Hugo on top of his head and hustled everyone on board. "Don't forget your owl Rose!"

Ron turned to face his best friend. "It's been quite a holiday!"

"Your telling me!" Harry's face broke into a grin. "How is Hugo getting along at seeking?"

"He's actually pretty decent!" Ron spoke of the legendary sport Quidditch, played on broomsticks. Lilly looked out the window at her parents and her uncle and auntie. She was leaving them for a whole year! She couldn't be happier- she was finally going to Hogwarts.

Finally after the train had pulled out of the station, Lily found an empty compartment with her brother, Albus. "Where is James?" Lilly enquired.

"Probably with Darcy. You will meet her soon. She's actually quite nice, you'll see!"

Lily looked out of the window. Trees and fields shot past at such breath taking speeds, Lily couldn't focus on a single thing for a second. Then she asked her brother the question that had been sitting in a dark corner of her mind for the whole summer.

"What if I get put in Slytherin?"

Albus looked at her and sighed. He answered honestly.

"I asked dad that when it was my first year. He said that even if you are, it won't matter. And anyway, the hat takes your opinion into account."

"Really?"

"Of course. Do you want a chocolate frog?"

The trolley had just came round, laid with snacks and confectionary. Having being brought up in a magic family, Lily had tried everything before, from the Bertie Botts Every Flavoured Beans to the Fainting Fancies.

"Yes please!"

Suddenly there was a loud 'thud' on the door. Before he could leave, she spotted a long face there with bright blonde hair swept to the side.

"Scorpius Malfoy" Albus grimaced. His chocolate frog broke and crumbled in his tightened fist."In fourth year with James. Son of Dad's nemesis… he's had a thing against me and James all year."

Somewhere in Lily's head lay the slightest concern for Scorpius, but she was so sure that this year would be the best ever.
