I haven't written a story in ages - so this is an attempt to get back into writing and a way to receive constructive criticism against my work. Enjoy :)
Prologue
Albus Potter was having a bad day. He had completely forgotten his homework for his potions teacher – Professor Grant – who had given him detention. Then, he fell asleep in Divination because he didn't sleep well the night before and Professor Valois gave him another detention. Finally his two best friends, Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy, got into a massive argument and did not stop whispering angrily at each other all day.
They were arguing all the way to Greenhouse 3, for their next 5th year Herbology lesson with Professor Longbottom so Al walked slightly behind Rose and Scorpius, wishing that the day would end already so he could get out of the presence of his two best friends and sleep.
Now these arguments were normally about schoolwork, about each other, about their houses (although this was a conundrum as they were both in Ravenclaw), about their families, etc. But this argument was all about how Scorpius had accepted a date with the bitchiest and sluttiest girl in their year – Yolanda Griffiths. Rose and Scorpius had fancied each other for forever, but both were oblivious to the other's affections. Rose was jealous – something that everyone (except Scorpius) could see and thus, an argument was started. Al had tuned them out and was looking down at the ground when he walked into someone. It was Rose.
He started. Rose and Scorpius both had their wands out and both their faces were bright red. They looked mad – so Al did the sensible thing and stepped back a few paces. Slowly, a ring of students gathered watching Rose and Scorpius yell at each other and point their wands. No spells had been cast yet – but Al knew his best friends and it looked like they were either about to curse each other to the end of the universe or snog the pants off each other. Al knew which option he preferred, but the universe was against him today and so instead of kissing each other like their life depended on it, Rose and Scorpius raised their voices and started yelling a curse each – above the chatter of the other students; Al couldn't actually hear what they were saying.
There was a flash of bright light, followed by silence. They had disappeared! A low, worried sounding murmur started up. Al rolled his eyes. He knew that something bad would happen – he was having a bad day. Now he wondered what Professor Longbottom would think – and how it wasn't fair how they had left him behind.
The next chapter isn't far behind, so R&R :)
