Albus Potter and the Amulet Stone

Chapter 1. The Letter

Number 12 Grimmauld Place

"ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER! Get up right now or you won't get your letter," Teddy Remus Lupin shouted teasingly. Teddy had blue hair and blue eyes. He could change his appearance due to being a Metamorphus. He was much taller than Albus and he also helped Albus' uncle George out at the joke shop. Albus groaned and jerked awake with a start. Albus had messy jet black hair like his father and has his grandmother, Lily Evans Potter's green eyes. Albus had turned eleven years old recently. Albus smiled as he got dressed and thought about his grandparents. He is very much like his father Harry and would be following in his footsteps. "Don't make me come in there, Al," Teddy shouted grinning. Albus rolled his eyes and opened the door. Teddy was Albus's god brother. Teddy walked in Albus's room which was nice and tidy. The window was closed all the way and he had some books on his desk. "Good, you're up. I got your letter from Hogwarts," Teddy said sitting down on the bed. Teddy handed Albus his letter. Albus took the letter grinning. "Well Al, I best be off to work at the Ministry. I've got to be training as an Auror. See you later Al," Teddy said winking at Albus. Teddy left the room. Albus walked out of his room to find his mother and father in the kitchen. His mother Ginny had long red hair and bright brown eyes. He did not see his older brother James since he was still sleeping. Albus hugged Harry as they both smiled. They had lived in Harry Potter's god father Sirius's house in Number 12 Grimmauld Place. "I got my letter mum and dad. It's from Hogwarts," Albus said grinning. Harry and Ginny smiled at Albus as he sat down at the kitchen table while his mother was cooking from the cauldron.. "Why don't you read it to us?" Ginny asked stroking Albus's hair. Albus nodded and read the letter to Harry and Ginny as James and Lily walked into the kitchen. James had messy brown hair like his grandfather, James Potter and had his eyes. Lily had long red hair like her mother and had Ginny's eyes. She was two years younger than Albus. It was also Albus's birthday as he was turning eleven years old today. His birthday was August 31.

Albus looked at Harry. "Dad where are we supposed to get all this?" Albus asked confused. Harry smiled and said, "In Diagon Alley. We'll go there in a few minutes after you and James finish your breakfast," Harry said grinning. "And Albus there will be a surprise at Hogwarts but I will not tell you what it is. You will find out from the Headmaster," Harry added. Albus smiled wondering what the surprise is. Albus sat down to eat his breakfast. "So Albus, you may be a Slytherin this year won't you?" James teased as Albus glared at James. "James don't tease Albus like that," Ginny replied rolling her eyes. "Fine. But what's the surprise?" James asked interested. "James, you know that's the surprise. We can't tell you," Harry replied grinning. As soon as they finished their breakfast, Harry stood up. "Well, we best be going to Diagon Alley to get everything on the list," Harry said as Albus, Ginny, Lily, and James stood up to follow Harry. The house was so big that there was so many rooms. Sirius's mother's portrait was locked away in their attic where they kept all of their old stuff in the trunk. Harry and Ginny had always slept in Sirius's bed while James, Lily, and Albus had their own small bedroom. They were both planning on giving James their bedroom when his birthday came.

That afternoon Harry, Albus, James, Lily, and Ginny met up with the Weasleys in Diagon Alley. Albus smiled at Rose. Rose smiled back. She had long red hair and was wearing a blue denim jeans with a blue sweatshirt, and a pair of sneakers and her younger brother was nine years old like Lily and he had short red hair like his father. James was going into his second year. "Ready Al?" Rose asked smiling. Albus nodded with a smile." Yeah, I'm ready for Hogwarts." Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Ron took the kids to Gringhotts Bank to get their sickles. Rose nodded. "It's not till September though Albus. Plus we'll be leaving tomorrow," she commented. Ron had short red hair while Hermione had long bushy brown hair. Albus couldn't wait to start his first year even if it was tomorrow. They went to stop at Gringotts Bank to get their sickles. As they headed inside the bank Albus looked around the huge bank and saw the goblins. One of the goblins nodded as Harry approached them. "Sir my son Albus will be starting his first year in a couple days," he said. The goblin nodded and called over Griphook. Griphook grunted at this and nodded as he took them to their vault. They hopped on the cart to ride to the vault. As soon as they got their Griphook looked at them. "Key please." Harry pulled out the key and handed it to him. Griphook took the key and stuck it in the lock unlocking the vault. They walked inside and Harry pulled out some sickles and handed it to Albus. "These sickles are all ours Albus and these are for buying stuff for school," he smiled. Albus smiled and stuck them into his pocket. Harry also handed some to James to buy stuff for his second year as well while Ron and Hermione gave Rose their sickles. They got back on the cart as Griphook locked the vaults and they rode it back. Griphook left to go back to work as the group headed out.

Ron checked his watch and sighed, "Hermione, I have to head back to work. Kingsley Shacklebolt said someone escaped and I need to get back to see what happened," he said knowing that she would yell at him for leaving for work. Hermione rolled her eyes and shouted angrily. "RONALD WEASLEY, WE HAVE TO FINISH SHOPPING!". Ron groaned predicting his thought correct. "I know Hermione but I'm needed and I'm sorry okay?" Hermione shook her head. "Alright Ron but tomorrow morning I'm not cooking meals for you before work," she was still annoyed with Ron. Ron sighed and nodded as he apparated off to the Ministry. Harry slowly stepped in to say, "...Well Hermione I'll go ahead and take Albus to get his wand." "Alright Harry I'll take Rose to get her books," she attempted a smile as she and Rose left for the book store. James jumped in, "I'm going to go see Uncle George at the joke shop mum." "Oh James why not go get some books first?" Ginny was becoming desperate trying to get James's mind off of going to the joke shop. James shook his head and answered decisively. "I'll go to the joke shop first then to Flourish and Botts to get some books." Ginny sighed and rolled her eyes as James hurried off to visit his uncle George. They parted ways and Harry and Ginny took Albus to get his first wand.

Harry, Ginny, and Albus quickly made their way to Ollivander's shop and Albus entered excitedly, Harry and Ginny followed smiling. Ollivander looked up to see the three and nodded, "Ah Mr, Potter great to see you again. I see your youngest son is starting his first year. Seems like only yesterday that I gave you, your first wand," he chuckled as he pulled out a wand. "9 inches, Phoenix Feathers, Oak," he winked and handed it to Albus. Albus waved it around and the wand sparked already deciding Albus was to be the wielder. Ollivander smiled and boasted, "It really suits you Mr. Potter. That wand is a special one, yes sir it is. that wand chooses its wizards and witches." It seemed even with his age he had a bright spark in his eyes. Albus already too fascinated by his wand stepped away from the counter to test it some more, Harry laughed a little and said thank you to Ollivander and asked Ginny to stay there with Albus, "I've got a surprise for him, i'll be back in a little while." Ginny nodded and Albus turned immediately as he heard the word "Surprise" and asked Harry excitedly what it was, Harry winked, "You'll find out in a bit" and turned and made his way out the door, Albus went back to his wand play and Ginny made conversation with Ollivander. A good ten to fifteen minutes passed by before suddenly there was a knock on the door and Albus jumped hoping to see Harry was back with a caged large white owl. "Hey Albus look what I've got for ya," he remarked with a huge grin on his face. Albus grinned even more at this and nodded, "I'm going to name her Snowy because she looks just like the beautiful winter snow." Harry chuckled and nodded. "Very appropriate Al." As they headed out they waved to Ollivander and continued on their way to the book shop and met up with Hermione, Rose, and James. The group picked out quite a few books on spells, Fiction, and History and then they headed to Madam Malkin's to get Albus his robes.

Harry checked in with Madam Malkins for new robes and she nodded as she looked through them. "Mr. Potter the dressing room is this way," she said leading Albus to the dressing room to try out his new robes. He sat down on the chair and Madam Malkins checked to see it had fitted him. "Hmm very fitting yes," she said thoughtfully and took him out of the room. She went to her desk as Albus handed her the sickles. They left the shop and headed to get some cauldrons and they paid for them. As soon as everyone was done paying for what they needed for Hogwarts they met up at the Leaky Cauldron where Hannah Longbottom was working as Landlady .Hannah had long blonde hair and she smiled seeing the group. "Hey Harry, Hermione, and Ginny. Hello Albus, James, Lily, Hugo, and Rose nice to see you all again. No Ron?" she asked. Hermione shook her head. "No he had to leave for work after coming with us," she said. Hannah nodded understanding as they all sat down for a drink. She pulled out some butterbeers to the group.
