So first of all thank you for reading this fan fic that i am writing. I am a new writer and this is my first attempt so don't be too harsh on me yeah. But Reviews (both positive and critical) are always appreciated.

This first Chapter is short but i am just trying to get The characters into hogwarts quickly to be honest next chapter will be a fair bit longer I think.

"Stop it James, you'll end up knocking her off her broom," Albus yelled from across the pitch.

Albus had been playing 3 on 3 Quidditch with his family all holidays, but lately James had been consistently ganging up on Lily with Hugo to steal the ball in order to keep his team in the contest. As much as he hated to admit it Albus could outfly James quite easily and Hugo trying to cover Teddy was an even bigger mismatch.

"It's getting dark anyway if we don't head in soon we'll lose our snitch." James replied.

Albus secretly thought he just wanted the game to end but didn't object as he and the rest of his family regrouped on the ground after James had caught the snitch. James was a seeker for the Gryffindor house team from the year before and they had won the house cup so he was pretty confident in his seeking abilities. Albus had seen the small golden ball first but hadn't even bothered to try and catch it as that would have caused James to let the ball go so they all had to chase it again.

"And our team wins 180 to 50" James said. But by the time he looked around behind him, after posing to his imaginary crowd, the rest of the family were already halfway back to the house.

Dinner at Arthur and Molly Weasley's was a noisy affair. The whole family was there. George with aunt Angelina and his identical twin sons Fred and Todd who were both 10 (though Fred always pointed out he was 20 minutes older) who were both 10 and real troublemakers, a fact not helped at all by George's multimillion galleon, world famous joke shop. Then there was Percy and Penelope who had a 9 year old son called Jason, a 17 year old son who was Head Boy this year, and Gryffindor Quidditch Captain called Dante, and a 21 year old son, who worked for Al's dad at the ministry, Kent. Then there was Charlie who had no kids but was always followed around by the kids in the family trying to find out his latest dragon stories from Romania. There was Bill and Fluer with their kids Victiore the Head Girl (17, 7th year), Gabrielle (14, 4th year), Sylvester (12, 2nd year) and Leon (10). Then of course there was Ron with Rose who was going into first year with Al, and Hugo who was starting in two years. Then of course there was Teddy Lupin who was as much part of the family as anyone else. All of the family that had gone to Hogwarts so far had been in Gryffindor except for Victiore who had been sorted into Ravenclaw.

It was only a week until School started and the new Weasleys going into first year, Albus and Rose, were both sitting up the far end of the table talking amongst themselves.

"What if I don't get put in Gryffindor" Al asked Rose, worried that he would get sorted into a different house, namely slytherin.

"Well my dad might be an idiot about it at first. But your dad would probably be alright about it, I guess. He doesn't seem as prejudiced as the rest of the men in our family." Rose replied. "I don't even think I want to be in Gryffindor to be honest. It would be nice to get away from the rest of the family a bit. And Victiore is in Ravenclaw and she is Head Girl. So I don't think it would really matter if we got put in Ravenclaw. But no one in our family has ever been in Hufflepuff so I think that would be a good in a way to stand out from the crowd," she continued, "Whoever decides would have to be insane to put you in Slytherin though, you are a Potter and a Weasley. But I guess stranger things have happened."

"Wow, put a lot of thought into that hey Rose?" Al asked.

"Well yes actually because I wanted to decide which house I preferred before I went there. Knowing where I want to end up will help me take the correct steps towards getting there." She continued "I know that it's sort of wrong to do that but I feel that if I want to get away from being influenced by people with blind prejudice like my dad. Though I suppose the stories about all of Slytherins dark Wizards can't be completely untrue. If you make the primary trait of a house to be ambitious you're bound to get more dark powerful Wizards then somewhere with the trait loyalty. But personally Slytherin would probably be my third choice."

"Really?" Al asked.

"Well I don't really care as much as I think you must but if I could choose an order it would go Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin then Gryffindor. My mum and dad were in Gryffindor so I want to be different from them at least."

"What would you do if I got sorted into Hufflepuff first?"

"I don't know, probably hope for Ravenclaw. Seeing Victiore more often would be good. She spends so much time in France in the holidays and stuff and she would probably help me a lot if I got sent there."

A loud bang Erupted at the other end of the table and one of the turkeys had burst into flames. And another one was doing something that kind of resembled the Mexican hat dance around it. Everyone started laughing as Dante pulled out his wand and pointed it at the turkey and without saying a word it shot a big wad of stuffing out of its arse straight at George, who of course had started the fire showing off to his two kids.

Suddenly the whole family had started to talk again and Albus couldn't help but notice his dad and Uncle Ron had stood up and walked into the next room. He quickly stood and followed them out the door under the guise of going to the toilet.

"… And what do you make of it all Harry" Ron whispered frantically to Harry.

"I think this guy is playing his hand a little early really it can't even be possible that this guy can possibly have thousands of followers in the muggle and wizarding world. We don't even know his name yet. We only have the name of one of his underlings, he thinks he has 7"

"So you don't think it's a serious problem?" Ron asked.

"Well the one we do know of is a nasty piece of work so if the rest are half as bad we have a serious problem. But I don't really believe in the hype surrounding it all and one of them at least would have to be a muggle, probably a squib actually. So that brings it down to 6 that are a serious threat if they even exist." Harry said rationally.

"And that is that Asmodeus?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, that's the one. Why? Do you know his real name?" Harry asked interested in what his old friend might have to say.

"No but I think I know who will." Ron said excitedly.

"Who?" Harry asked.

"Malfoy." Ron said loudly.

"No not this again. He isn't like that anymore. He is almost 40 now and has a family. I doubt he is involved in any of this again, especially after he has stayed clear of it all for the last 20 years." Harry explained to Ron.

"How do you know he steered clear of it all?" Ron asked.

"We kept tabs on him mate. What did you expect us to let all of those Death Eaters roam free after all the grief we were put through? Only certain ones who were particularly nasty were given long sentences in Azkaban. Most are free by now. It's sad really but it's the way the system works."

"What about his old man?" Ron inquired.

"Well. He is still in Azkaban. When they were going to let him go free I said I would resign from my post if they did. He is still in there last I heard. Hope he rots away in there." Harry said.

"So he won't know anything?" asked Ron.

"Look Ron I know we used to play school detectives back in our school days but this is something we just have to let run its course. I don't think it will be much of an issue really it's just a few extremists who think that they… ALBUS! What are you doing in here?" Harry suddenly realised that Al had been standing in the doorway. "How much did you hear?"

"Well everything, I think. Who is this Malfoy person? Is he at Hogwarts? Does this have anything to do with Hogwarts? Am I still allowed to go?" Albus quickly spat out worried that he might not even get to go to Hogwarts.

"Calm down Albus," Harry laughed before continuing, "It's just a person who has been giving me and your Uncle a lot of grief at the Ministry. It's not a big deal at all don't worry about it. Just go back in to dinner." Albus quickly complied and soon enough he was back around the table laughing at George and Dante trying to get the two turkeys to fight each other using their magic.

But he was only half interested as he couldn't get his head around what his father told him. Ron was an Auror just like Harry. Which one of them was right, Ron had seemed really worried about the situation and Harry had just blown it off like it was no big deal. But it must be if an Auror was worried about it.

Soon Al's mum came and sat beside him, "something on your mind Albus?" she asked.

"Ah, no mum I am just worried that I will, ahhh, get in Slytherin. Yeah that's it, I'm really worried I won't get into Gryffindor." Albus replied, "and if I get in Slytherin I think James will pick on me."

"Don't worry about it Albus your brother can be a real jerk sometimes, but he's family. No matter what house you get put in he will always come through for you when the chips are down." Ginny said, "He is a good person. Also while we are on the topic your cousin Victoire was the first in Ravenclaw and if you end up there she will always look after you as well." Ginny was suddenly interrupted by Al, "But what if I get put in Slytherin."

"You won't Albus." Ginny said as if stating the obvious.

"Why not?" Al asked.

"Because no one from our family has been in any house other than Gryffindor." Ginny said.

"Éxcept Victiore." Albus replied.

"Yeah exactly. It won't happen, trust me." Ginny turned away and walked back to the Adults now conversing at the other end of the table.

Albus wasn't convinced and he continued to worry about it at the far end of the table. All by himself. Soon Percy left. And the rest of his family followed quickly behind him. And the rest of the Weasleys took it as their cue to leave. Soon Albus was sitting at the table in a dark room all by himself.

Cheers,
