Introduction:

Hello young readers, I am Brooklyn. I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter books. When they were over I was mad and wanted another book. I decided that I needed to know what would happen to the characters after the battle with Old Voldy. Although you may never read this and I am probability doing this to keep me sane and all that crap. If you do read this I am giving credit to J.K Rowling and I thank her for introducing Harry Potter to us. :) If you are reading this and have NOT read the Harry Potter books I tell you READ THEM they are the best books. Also if you want to understand what happens in this book it will contain a lot of information out of Rowling's books (I have the books next to me as I write this) so that would help you keep up in this series (if it amounts to more than this one book, which I hope it will because I have great stories to tell you). Now I will begin the story:

Chapter 1:

(Continues right after the end of Deathly Hallows)

"Come on Al" James called after his brother, "Let's find a compartment before they are all taken."

"Ok James," The two Potter boys began to look around for a place to sit. They pushed through the people yelling at each other and talking about their summers. "Next year," Albus said under his breath "that is going to be me and my friends, if I can even make some."

"Hey James," Called his best friend Cedric, Cedric was a handsome looking boy. He had golden hair and bright blue eyes. "I have a place to sit. Mum wanted to get here early so Aerick and I would not miss the train."

Behind Cedric was James' other best friend Lucy. Lucy had nice long red curly flowing hair that was tied neatly into a braid in the back of her head, green eyes, and connects-the-dot freckles all along her face. "James! Hey how was your summer? "

"Hey Lu, summer was good this year. Albus and I are trying to find a seat."

"Albus," Lucy said thinking "who is Albus?"

"Albus is my little brother. It is his first year at Hogwarts"

"James!" Lucy said hitting him with her wand

"Lu!" James said trying to mimic Lucy as he started to pull out his wand.

"I didn't know you had a brother." Lucy said shocked.

"Yeah and I have a little sister."

"James we are your best mates you could have told us this."Cedric replied

"Sorry I thought I told you."

"No you didn't. Hey let's go sit down. My feet hurt from standing too long" Lucy said complaining

"Sounds good," then he turned to Albus, "ok so now you need to go make some friends. Go find Rosie I am sure she has a place to sit."

"James!" Albus complained, "Let me sit there."

"Albus you need to make some friends go find Rose. I am sure that she has made some friends and found a compartment."

"Fine!" Albus snapped at James and his friends. Then Albus walked away from James' compartment.

It was weird being apart from James on the train Albus thought. People were struggling to find a place to sit. As Albus attempted to walk around and still could not find a place to sit. He was about to turn around and go back to James when he heard a familiar voice, "Albus did James ditch you already?" It was Victorie Weasley, Albus nodded.

"Wow I thought that he would have waited till we were at Hogwarts. At least, I thought that would be what your mum told him."

"I think my mum told him to watch out for me or something like that."

"Oh," She sounded shocked "well I hope she knows that it's James, he is not going to watch out for you unless it is a dire situation. I will let her know on Christmas."

Albus just looked at her, "Christmas?"

"Yeah your mum didn't tell you? I am coming over for Christmas. So is Rosie, we are having a family Christmas. Well I am not really close family, so I understand if you are shocked"

"But you still are family to me." Albus said, "You are my cousin and James' cousin too."

"Thanks Al, anyways about finding a compartment there is an empty compartment all the way in the back, it's a little bit smaller than the other ones though. I told Rosie there was one back there and I think she went that way. You can go follow her if you want."

"Thanks Victore!" Albus walked towards the back and found Rose in the compartment, but she was not alone. Sitting by Rosie were people that Albus had seen around the train and the station but didn't really talk to. He opened the door, "Hey Rosie can I sit here?"

"Yes of course you can. Al this is Scorpius Malfoy, Scotty Finnegan, and umm... oh yes, this is Mariana Thomas."

"Hello." Albus said as he walked in the compartment. He closed the door behind him then proceeded to sit down next to Rosie. He looked around the tiny compartment trying to imagine what his father's first ride on the Hogwarts Express was like. Albus wondered if James was worried about him or even if he cared. He knew that James was having lots of fun with Lucy and Cedric. A couple of minutes passed and no one was making a sound. Albus felt the quiet to be quite uncomfortable.

"So umm... what houses do you guys want to be in?" Albus asked trying to make a conversation.

Scotty was the first to answer, "I want to be in Gryffindor." Scotty said proudly. "Just like my dad."

Albus then looked at Mariana, "What about you?"

"Mariana also wants to be in Gryffindor." Scotty answered for Mariana. He looked at her with a type of kindness in his eyes Albus didn't really understand. "Sorry she does not talk much. She talks to me because our dad's are best mates; we are kind of like family. Much like you and Rosie." he added looking at Albus.

Rosie looked at Scorpius, "What about you?"

He looked up, "I don't know what house I want to be in. My dad was in Slythern and my mum was in Slythern also. So I guess I am going to be in Slytherny." He looked gloomy about that. Albus could see the tenderness in his eyes that no one else could see.

"Do you fancy being in Slythern?" Albus asked trying to make him feel better.

"No I don't." He answered looking even gloomier than before.

"Well my dad told me not to worry about what house I am going to be in." Albus said matter-of-factly.

"Why should I not worry about that? Isn't that a big part of coming to Hogwarts. It tells you who you truly are."

"No Scorpius, it doesn't tell you who you truly are because my dad told me that the sorting hat will take your choice in to account." Albus said. Then he had a moment of shock that is what his dad was trying to tell him on the platform. The sorting hat knows what you are thinking not who you truly are.

"Really?"

"Yes, it did for him." Albus smiled at Scorpius. Scorpius looked a little bit better he was smiling at Albus and Rosie. She returned the smile and Albus thought about why Scorpius didn't want to be in Slythern so badly, a question that was soon to be answered.

"Albus did you know that your mum and dad hated my dad while they were at Hogwarts?" Ask Scorpius.

"No I didn't." Albus looked shocked, "I wonder why."

"You don't know why? Really? Almost everyone hated my family at one point."

Rosie joined in the conversation, "Why?"

"You don't know either?" He turned to Mariana and Scotty, "Do you know?"

Mariana looked at Scotty her brown beady eyes swam with tears. She looked at all of them and took a breath. "They hated your family because of the war with Voldemort?" Scorpius nodded. "Your family was on his side. Your family killed people and tortured them. People like my father." Scorpius just looked at her. "Yes Scorpius he was muggle born" She was now crying even harder. The tears fell softly down her cheek and down to her chin. "Death eaters were hunting him and he was hiding in Forest of Dean. He said it was hard to watch every one he was traveling with die. But he said it was worth the torcher because Voldemort's," There was a brief pause and a stutter when she said his name, b"reign came to an end."

They all looked at her. Rosie was about to cry too. "You... "Albus mumbled and pointed at Scorpius, "Your family was with him? Do you know who my dad is, who Rosie's mom and dad are?"

"Yes I do. My parents and grandparents did change their minds and switch to the side of what is right. I know that it was too late but my grandma did save your dad's life and she is honored to have helped him. I would like to try to be your friend and to change the Malfoy name to something good. Please." He seemed to be begging. Albus thought.

"Ok. We can be friends and let's just put the past behind us and not let our families get in the way of our friendship."

"Ok sounds good to me."Scorpius agreed

"BLOODY HELL!" Everyone in the compartment jumped as Scotty yelled.

"What?" Rosie demanded.

"I can see the castle!"

"And...?" Rosie asked annoyed

"And..." said Scotty mimicking Rosie, "We need to get in our school robes"

"Oh wow I completely forgot!" Said Rosie surprised by her self

"Let's not just stand there shocked Rose" Al added, "We need to get ready!"

The group of 5 hurried around and got in their school robes. By the time they were all done getting ready it was time to leave the train. Albus felt a strange sad feeling about leaving the train. It was where he met his friends he didn't have any want to leave it, but he had to so he could go to the castle.

Albus followed Rosie out of the train with Mariana, Scotty, and Scorpius tailing behind them. They were all talking about the castle and how excited they were to finally go inside it. Albus could not remember a time in his life when he was this happy. He had friends made some friends and he couldn't stop smiling.

Albus was too busy walking and didn't see the huge man in front of him. As soon as he bumped into him he turned around expecting it to be Mariana or Scotty. Albus whipped around and almost fell over. The person he bumped into was not Mariana or Scotty. It was the biggest man Albus had ever seen, he could not have been human. He had a long beard and coal black eyes.

"Why hello there," said the huge man "first time at Hogwarts?"

Albus nodded and was partly scared. Then James and his friends waked past them.

"Hey Hagrid!" James called over to the very tall man. James waved to him friends bye and walked over to Albus and Rosie.

"'James, 'ow's your dad?" The man asked him.

"He wanted me to tell you that he wants you to look after my little brother here." James put him arm on Albus' shoulder.

" Wha'? This here is your brother?"

"Yeah. Albus, Rose, and some other people I don't know this is Hagrid."

Albus slide over by his older brother "This is the Hagrid that dad told us about?" Albus said in a hushed whisper.

"Yeah it is Al. He my look scary but he wouldn't hurt a fly." Albus had a difficult time believing that.
