A/N this is my first story so I really don't know what to do but I tried. This story is going to follow canon as much as I can. I know I used the epilogue as a outline I changed a few of the words though, I won't be using any other of JKs work like that. Scorpius is going to be one of their friends to and I made Louis one of their friends so it's even plus he's not in a lot of work so I though I would add him in mine. I don't know his age so I just made him 11. What year is James in I think it's 2nd year but I'm not sure. So I hope you enjoy If you have any hints as to how I can improve my writing please say.

Albus was nervous; he would never admit it to anyone, especially James, his elder brother. If James knew how nervous he was he was he would make his life hell. He was just glad Louis and Rose would be going to Hogwarts to. At least he wouldn't have to share a compartment with James. He had been waiting to go to Hogwarts since he could remember, but now the time had come he wasn't so sure. He was especially nervous about being sorted into anything other than Gryffindor; his whole family had been in it, Weasleys included. Ravenclaw wouldn't be too bad, but he knew he wasn't smart enough for it. If he was a Hufflepuff...well James would never let it go, he still teases Teddy about it. He didn't want to think about what would happen if he was sorted into Syltherin. He would be disowned.

"Albus, time to go" he heard his mum, Ginny Potter, shout up the stairs of Grimmauld place, which had been redecorated. Albus looked up from the floor of his bedroom which he had been staring at for at least 10 minutes. He let out a sigh and stood up from the end of his bed and dragged his new trunk down the staircase into the living room. His family had obviously been waiting for him. James was leaning on his newly polished trunk with the letters J.S.P stamped across the end. James was smirking, his brown eyes twinkling mischievously behind his rectangular, black framed glasses. His little sister Lily was standing next to James, her long red hair reaching her waist and her brown eyes glowing in excitement at the prospect of going to platform 93/4 for the 2nd time. His dad, Harry Potter, was standing on the other side of Lily his black hair sitting messily on his head, his fringe covering the scar on his forehead and his green eyes were hidden behind his circular glasses. His mum Ginny was beside Harry her long red hair tied up.

"Come on now or we'll be late" Said his dad walking to the front door and getting into the car Albus, James, Lily and Ginny Followed

When they had arrived at Kings cross and collected trolleys they had started to walk to platform 93/4. James had then started the argument with Albus again. It was the same one they had been having for the past three weeks, as soon as he had gotten his Hogwarts letter.

"You do know that you might be in Slytherin" said James looking at Albus with a smirk on his face

"I won't! I won't be in Slytherin!" shouted Albus back James

"James, give it a rest!" said his Ginny.

"I only said he might be," said James, grinning at his younger brother. "There's nothing wrong with that. He might be in Slyth -"

But Ginny glared at James and he stopped talking but was still smiling. When they were in front of the barrier James took his trolley and ran towards the barrier and vanished.

"You'll write to me, won't you?" Albus asked his parents immediately, glad that his brother wasn't here to see how scared he was.

"Every day, if you want us to," said Ginny.

"Not every day," said Albus, "James says most people only get letters from home about once a month."

"We wrote to James three times a week last year," said Ginny.

"And you don't want to believe everything he tells you about Hogwarts," Harry put in. "He likes a laugh, your brother."

Together they ran towards the barrier. Albus winced but was glad when he didn't crash.

"Where are they?" asked Albus anxiously, looking around the platform.

"We'll find them," said Ginny reassuringly.

But the vapour was dense, and it was difficult to make out anybody's faces. separated from their owners, voices sounded weirdly loud.

"I think that's them, Al," said Ginny abruptly.

A group of four people appeared from the mist, standing beside the very last carriage.

"Hi," said Albus, sounding immensely relieved. He was glad that Rose was here so he could board with her.

Rose smiled back at him; she was already wearing her uniform.

Albus heard Lily talking to Hugo, Rose's Little sister about what houses they were going to go in. He noticed they sounded excited he didn't know why. He was just hours away from his sorting and couldn't be less happy about it.

"If you're not in Gryffindor, we'll disinherit you," said Ron, "but no pressure."

"Ron!"

Lily and Hugo laughed, but Albus felt has if his stomach was twisting. He felt sick, what if he was sorted into Syltherin? Would his Uncle Ron stop talking to him and sneaking him sweets when his parents weren't looking? Would his mum and dad feel the same? Would they throw his out of the house and refuse to so much as look at him?

"He doesn't mean it," said Hermione and Ginny, but provided little to no comfort.

"So that's little Scorpius," said Ron looking at a blonde man with a son that looked like a smaller and younger clone of his father. "Make sure you beat him in every test, Rosie. Thank God you inherited your mother's brains."

"Ron, for heaven's sake," said Hermione, half stern, half amused. "Don't try to turn them against each other before they've even started school!"

"You're right, sorry," said Ron, "Don't get too friendly with him, though, Rosie. Granddad Weasley would never forgive you if you married a pureblood."

"Hey!"

James had reappeared; he had rid himself of his trunk, owl, and trolley, and was bursting with news.

"Teddy's back there," he said breathlessly, pointing back over his shoulder into the billowing clouds of steam. "Just seen him! And guess what he's doing? Snogging Victoire!"

He gazed up at the adults, clearly disappointed by the lack of reaction. Albus wasn't sure why he was disappointed he knew Teddy was dating Victoire, It was pretty obvious he had even heard them talking about marriage.

"Our Teddy! Teddy Lupin! Snogging our Victoire! Our cousin! And I asked Teddy what he was doing-"

"You interrupted them?" said Ginny. "You are so like Ron -"

"- and he said he'd come to see her off! And then he told me to go away. He's snogging her!" James added.

"Oh, it would be lovely if they got married!" whispered Lily happily. "Teddy would really be part of the family then!"

"He already comes round for dinner about four times a week," said Harry "Why don't we just invite him to live with us and have done with it?"

"Yeah!" said James enthusiastically. "I don't mind sharing with Al-Teddy could have my room!"

Albus felt a little worried when James said that although he knew his dad wouldn't let them share a room.

"No," said Harry firmly, "you and Al will share a room only when I want the house demolished."

"It's nearly eleven, you'd better get on board."

"Don't forget to give Neville our love!" Ginny told James as she hugged him.

"Mum! I can't give a professor love!"

"But you know Neville-"

James rolled his eyes at her.

"Outside, yeah, but at school he's Professor Longbottom, isn't he? I can't walk into Herbology and give him love…."

Shaking his head at his mother's foolishness, he vented his feelings by aiming a kick at Albus. Albus jumped back a little so it missed him and he glared at his brother. He didn't know why he wouldn't just leave him alone.

"See you later, Al. Watch out for the Thestrals."

Albus' stomach gave a jolt he thought they were invisible.

"I thought they were invisible? You said they were invisible!"

But James merely laughed, allowed his mother to kiss him, gave his father a brief hug, then leapt onto the quickly filling train. Albus saw him wave, then sprint away up the corridor to find his friends.

"Thestrals are nothing to worry about," Harry told Albus. "They're gentle things, there's nothing scary about them. Anyway, you won't be going up to school in the carriages, you'll be going in the boats."

Ginny kissed Albus goodbye.

"See you at Christmas."

"Bye, Al," said Harry as his he hugged him. "Don't forget Hagrid's invited you to tea next Friday. Don't mess with Peeves. Don't duel anyone till you're learned how. And don't let James wind you up."

"What if I'm in Slytherin?"

Albus was too scared to keep how nervous he was to himself he had to tell someone and his dad was the most understanding person he knows.

Harry crouched down so that Albus' face was slightly above his own.

"Albus Severus, Harry said quietly, so that nobody could hear

"You were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew."

"But just say-"

"- then Slytherin House will have gained an excellent student, won't it? It doesn't matter to us, Al. But if it matters to you, you'll be able to choose Gryffindor over Slytherin. The Sorting Hat takes your choice into account."

"Really?"

"It did for me," said Harry. It did? Albus didn't know that he got the feeling that Harry hadn't told anyone that.

"Why are they all staring?" demanded Albus as he and Rose craned around to look at the other students.

"Don't let it worry you," said Ron. "It's me, I'm extremely famous."

Albus let out a nervous laugh. His stomach was twisting more furiously. This was it he was going to Hogwarts the place where he had wanted to go to for years.

He Rose slowly parted from their parents he could see them waving at them. His uncle Ron and His dad had left the trunks in the train earlier so all they had to do is find their other friend Louis. He and Rose walked down the corridor looking nervously into every compartment looking for Louis and trying to ignore the people looking at him for being the son of Harry Potter.

"Al, Rose!" they looked down into the compartment they had still had to check and saw Louis leaning out of it and grinning at them"

Albus felt relieved he finally found a compartment to sit in. Rose walked through the door first and Albus followed behind her. Louis was already siting back down beside the window and smiling at them .

"I'm glad you guys are finally here" he said to them "people kept looking at me when they past. I don't know why my parents aren't famous. It's probably the hair remind me again why I got my mums bright blond hair and not my dads?"

"It's all down to genetics" Before Rose could start a lecture on genetics and how they worked Albus asked

"What houses do you think you will be in?"

"Well judging purely on the Potter Weasley legacy I would say Gryffindor all Potters and Weasleys have been sorted there for centuries"

"All of them? Are you sure not even one Hufflepuff?"

"Yes I'm sure" she saw there disbelieving faces and added "I read about it"

"It's in a book?"

"Yes its in a book Al. It's called Purebloods and their houses It's surprisingly interesting. I found the book in the library."

"Okay Rose what house do you want to be in then"

"I would prefer Ravenclaw It would challenge me more, I think"

"I don't know what house I wouldn't like to be in Hufflepuff though I have nothing against the house but I think the uniform would clash with my hair"

Rose and Albus laughed at the comment. When a hesitant knock came from the door.

I hope you like I will try to upload chapter two soon
