The Hogwarts Express rolled onward as Albus Severus Potter's hands shivered as he waved goodbye to his family from the window. Of course he was nervous, it was his first year at Hogwarts where he'll spent most of the year away from his mum and dad, and with people he'd never met before. Who knows how they will treat him?

Beside him sat Rose Weasley, his cousin and his best friend. She was the only person Albus told everything to, and she trusted him just as much. When they were younger, they always united together against Albus' older brother, James, when he bullied them. James was now in his fourth year at Hogwarts and sat with his own friends. A very charismatic and arrogant person, James was very popular in Hogwarts and he was an excellent Chaser for Gryffindor. In the summer, he always showed off about how great he was at Quidditch and how he'll always be the best, which made Albus dislike the most famous sport in the Wizarding World more and more.

Albus and Rose were alone in the train compartment when two very identical looking boys came barging in.

"Hello," said the boy in the front. "I'm Lorcan Scamander. This is my twin brother, Lysander. Do you mind if we sit with you. This is our first year here and we don't know that much people around."

"Of course," smiled Rose. "Sit down."

Lorcan sat down next to Rose, while Lysander hesitated to sit

"Don't mind him," said Lorcan. "He gets shy in front of strangers. Sit down Sander!"

Lysander sat down beside Albus giving him a swift smile then quickly looking away.

"I'm Rose Weasley and this is Albus Potter."

"Weasley? Potter?" Lorcan was astonished. "You're Harry Potter's son? And you're Ronald Weasley's?"

Both Rose and Albus nodded.

"They're both great friends of my mother, Luna. Luna Lovegood, you know her?"

"Of course we do," said Albus. "She comes by sometimes."

"It's weird we never met you two before," said Rose.

"Well, it's great to meet you now," said Lorcan.

Lysander nodded, giving a quick and quiet, "Yeah."

"Here." Rose got out a box of Chocolate Frogs. "Have some."

They dug in, ate the chocolate and started comparing their cards.

"Gryffindor!" shouted the Sorting Hat while it lay on Rose's head. Rose got up with a huge smile on her face and ran to join the other Gryffindors.

Albus was so nervous when his name was called. He wanted to be in Gryffindor like the rest of his family, but he had a feeling he'd be sorted elsewhere. He sat on the stool as the Sorting Hat was placed on his head.

Rose was hoping for her cousin to join her table, while Lorcan watched from the Ravenclaw table and Lysander from Slytherin's.

"Slytherin!" Albus' had a mini-heart attack when he heard the word roaring in his ears. He was saddened by the fact that he was sorted into the house from which most of his father's archenemies came from. The house where Lord Voldemort came from. However, he remembered his father telling him how he named him after a Slytherin who was the bravest person he knew. This made him feel a lot better.

He glanced at Rose, who looked very upset, and then at his brother, who looked furious. Lysander patted him on the back, and, many others, who knew he was the son of "The Boy Who Lived", kept calling his name outloud. Albus sat next to Sander as the Sorting continued.

After all the first-years were informed of all the rules and regulations and where all the places are and handed their schedules, Albus and Sander entered their dormitory, where five beds were located and they were the first ones there. Albus had heard Sander utter about only two or three words since they first met. They shy boy was a bit shorter than Albus and was a little chubby. He had brown eyes, dirty blonde hair and a plump nose. Albus didn't like his sheepish manner at all, and thought he'd be better off without him always by his side.

Someone entered the dormitory. Scorpius Malfoy. Albus knew him because he saw him standing with his father at Platform Nine and Three-quarters. He was a tall and handsome young boy, with long blonde hair and bright green eyes.

He smiled at the other two. "Hi, I'm Scorpius," offering his hand to Albus.

"I'm Albus," he said, shaking his hand. At that very moment Albus had no idea that this boy, the son of his father's foe, would become his best friend for the next couple of years.

THREE YEARS LATER

Three years have passed since the day Albus met Scorpius. They are now inseparable and, after Albus and Rose's friendship drifted apart when they were place in rival houses, Albus is glad to find someone he can trust more than anyone else. In their first year, Albus wasn't quite fond of Scorpius until he realized how sweet and kind he was and they became good friends. In their second year, they grew much closer together. In the summers they would sleepover at each other's house and by the end of their third year, they shared a very strong bond that rarely any friends share. Scorpius was now a great Seeker for Slytherin, while Albus was still not a fan of Quidditch and instead would spend his free time reading and practicing spells. Him and Scorpius would do everything together. They would tease girls together, have their own little inside jokes, and they would discuss their love life with each other all the time. Albus had some other friends, but none that would compare to Scorpius.

Rose and was now dating Lorcan, and Sander transformed from the shy awkward boy to the big angry bully all the kids run away from. He has grown to despise Albus after he ditched him in their first year when Sander tried to be his best friend. He has now become Albus and Scorpius' archenemy, and they would always play tricks on him and prank him, making him angrier than ever. He switched dormitories with a boy named Patrick to avoid spending every night with those he hates the most.

Since the year before, Scorpius has been dating a Hufflepuff girl named Claudia, and Ablus has been very happy for him. Albus dating a few girls, but he was never serious with any of them. He just didn't find them interesting and thought they were wasting his time. He would've rather spent that time hanging out with Scorpius. But now, Albus began to realize that Scorpius is starting to spend most of his time with Claudia, and that made Albus a little bit jealous.

One night, Scorpius canceled plans with Albus to go see Claudia, which made Albus lose it the next time he saw Scorpius in the dormitory, when they were all alone.

"I don't understand why you're acting like that Al," said Scorpius. "I mean, I'm sorry I ditched you, but she's my girlfriend. You understand that, right? I'm going to be spending a lot of time with her. You better get used to that."

"Do you love her?" yelled Albus.

"What?"

"I asked you if you loved her."

"I don't know. Probably. Yeah," Scorpius seemed unsure of his answer.

"Liar," shouted Albus. "You don't love her. What happened? You used to be honest with me!"

"Okay fine! I'm not IN love with her but… but I really fancy her and I think it might turn into something more serious. We need more time."

"Time? You've been together for a whole year. What more time do you need?" He calms down a little, looking down, he says, "Look, Scorpius. You're not supposed to be with her. She doesn't deserve you."

"Who does then?"

Albus looks up at his friend. Tears are streaming from his pretty blue eyes down his girlish cheeks. Scorpius stares back, as Albus begins to move closer to him. They're inches away from each other and Albus gently placed his hand on Scorpius' shoulder. With his other hand he softly holds Scorpius'. He moves even closer and their noses touch.

"I do," whispers Albus.

The next second Albus presses his lips against Scorpius'. He could feel Scorpius start to kiss him back and it felt great. It tasted different from when he kissed girls, which was only two times. It was special. It was wonderful. At that time, Albus knew that he wanted to do this for a very long time but he just didn't realize it.

Albus' penis hardened and he felt it collide with Scorpius' from behind their trousers. He had his arms around Scorpius' waste as they were still snogging affectionately.

Then Scorpius suddenly stops and backs away.

"What?" said Albus.

"This is weird," Scorpius panics and avoids Albus' gaze. "I, uh, I've got to go. I've got that thing."

He runs out of the dormitory, leaving Albus to dwell on his misery and shame.
