A/N: I was listening to I'm Just A Kid by Simple Plan and this story happened. I hope you like it and if you don't know the song you should really look it up.

Albus was lying in his bed up in the Gryffindor boys' dormitory. All of the other boys were asleep but he was up thinking.

His brother, James, had been picking on him earlier that day at Kings' Cross about possibly being in Slytherin.

Well take that James, I'm a Gryffindor.

His father had told him that it would be fine if he was a Slytherin. It wasn't the Slytherin thing that was bugging him now so much as James picking on him. He was a big bully sometimes and now that Albus was at Hogwarts his brother wouldn't even look at him.

Did I do something wrong?

It didn't help that Albus was shy and was nervous about talking to the other kids. He had always been very quiet.

What if I do or say something wrong and they hate me for the next seven years? I have to live with these people after all!

Albus was too proud to write to his parents though.

At least not so soon.

So for now Albus was all by himself.
