A/N: i rewrote the first albus' life at hogwarts i made cause i have no life and needed something to do:p and its mostly in albus' and rose's pov:]
" Albus! It's time to wake up!" my mother, Ginny Potter, called from outside my room. Today would me the day that me and my cousin, Rose, would start our schooling at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I hurriedly got dressed,and started throwing my school stuff into my trunk. James snuck into my room behind me, pulled my glasses off, and ran back out of the room laughing.
" JAMES!" I yelled, slowly feeling my way downstairs. " Al, where are your glasses?" my younger sister, Lily, asked. I rolled my eyes, " James,"
" He's annoying." I nodded, and she left the room to find James and my glasses. Mom handed me some toast and I began chewing on the corner, waiting for Lily.
" Here Al," Lily smiled as she handed me my glasses. I smiled and said," Thanks Lily, you're a lifesaver!" she grinned at me and I hugged her. Once everyone was done with breakfast, we finished packing and left for London. I was surprised that we all fit in our small-looking car. And that dad could drive.
(Rose POV)
As soon as we got to King's Cross, mum told me and Hugo to look for our cousins. " FOUND THEM!" Hugo yelled, and we all made a beeline tom where he was pointing. Dad and Uncle Harry talked about quidditch and other boring stuff, and Aunt Ginny and mum were talking about how they were excited about me and Albus going to Hogwarts.
A man with almost white blonde hair and a young boy who looked almost exactly like his dad passed us. He nodded at my dad and uncle, and walked away from us. Dad told me to stay away from the boy, and to beat him in every test; and mum told him off about that. I smiled to myself as James came running over to us, saying something about catching Teddy and Victorie snogging. Albus, Hugo, Lily and dad laughed, but Aunt Ginny scowled at him for interrupting them.
As eleven o'clock drew nearer, i started tapping my foot with impatience. I looked around, and the boy from earlier was looking at me. I blushed and looked away. He is kindof cute, I thought to myself; which made me blush again. Soon it was time for us to board the train.
(Albus POV)
" What if I get put into Slytherin?" I asked dad anxiously. "Well if you really don't want to get put into Slytherin, you can ask the Sorting Hat to not put you in there," he told me.
" Really?"
" It did for me," he replied, putting his hand on my shoulder. "Good-bye, Albus. Have a good time at school and don't forget to write," he added, hugging me. "I won't. And bye dad!" Mum pulled me into a tight embrace before letting me go on the train, which was already blowing the whistle.
I shakily stepped onto the enormous train that would take me to my home for most of the year. James poked me with his wand, urging me onward and almost tripping me. I walked slowly down the train; there was almost no empty compartments left.
Finally I found a compartment that was empty except for another first year. I poked my head in the door and asked, " Can i sit with you?"
She smiled and nodded at me. " I'm Katie. Katie Finnigan." she introduced herself. " I'm Albus. Albus Potter." i replied with a smile. Katie gasped. " My dad knows your dad! They shared a dormitory when they were at Hogwarts. He also said that your dad defeated Lord Voldemort."
"Yea. we get a lot of stares when we go to Diagon Alley. It's annoying. Almost as annoying as James." Katie laughed, " He's that annoying?" I grinned and told her about him stealing my glasses this morning.
(Rose POV)
I shakily got on the Hogwarts express, hoping that this would me a good year and that I wouldn't have any enemies. I sneezed halfway up the stairs and almost fell backwards down them. The blonde-haired boy put his hand on my back to steady me. " You okay?" he asked me once we were on the train. I nodded and went to find a compartment.
There was an empty compartment near the back of the train. I turned to the boy (he was still behind me) and said, " I didn't catch your name, could you tell me?" He smiled shyly and replied, "Scorpius Malfoy. Whats yours?""Rose Weasley," I replied, " Do you want to sit with me? There's not many empty compartments left."
He nodded and followed me into the compartment. " So, how was you summer, Rose?" he asked me. " Good. Me and my brother, Hugo, spent a lot of time at our cousins' house. My cousin, James, is really annoying. But he can be nice," I replied with a grin, " How was yours?" His face fell as he replied, " Okay, I guess. We really didn't do anything fun. And we're almost there."
I nodded and added, " We should probably change into our robes. Can you please go into the hall so I can change?" He silently left the compartment for me to change. I smiled and quickly changed into my school robes, " Okay, Scorpius, you can come in now. Do you want me to leave for you to change?" " Yea, thanks Rose," he replied as I was walking out into the corridor.
Looking around, I saw my cousin and good friend, Albus. " Hey, Al! Hows your train ride so far?" I called to him. He walked over to me and said, " Good. I'm waiting for my friend, Katie, to change into her robes. Who are you sitting with?" " Scorpius Malfoy. I dunno why dad told me to stay away from him; he's quite nice." Albus shrugged and went back to his compartment.
" Rose, you can come in now, " Scorpius called to me. I slowly pushed the door to our compartment open and walked in. " Hey Scorp, do you like to read?" I asked him, trying to start a conversation. "Yea," he replied, " I heard that the Hogwarts library was huge," Oh god that was a cheesey line, I thought. "My mum told me that she read almost every book in the library when she was there, " I told him. " My father was never much for reading, but my mom was," he added, getting a small book out of his trunk " Here. This is one of my favorite books, you'd like it. Its about the Founder's" I thanked him and he handed me the small, but thick book.
I smiled; and the train screeched to a halt. " We can't be there yet, " Scorpius whispered. Then the train went dark. I felt my way over to Scorpius, and he put his arm over my shoulder to comfort me." We must be out of fuel or something" Scorpius murmured. " This train is magical! it can't run out of fuel!" I half shouted. Our compartment door opened, and I screamed. "Rose! God you're jumpy; it's just me!" Scorpius lit his wand for us to see that it was my cousin. And some other girl. " Who's that?" I asked him once they were in the compartment. "I'm Katie Finnigan. Al told me about you. " I smiled at her in the wandlight.
(Albus POV)
" Hi, " Rose said to Katie. Scorpius' arm was around her shoulder. She must be scared, I thought before looking at Katie. She was visibly shaking with fear. I put my arm over her shoulder and she smiled up at me. " What's up with the train?" she whispered. " I dunno, Katie. We can ask the conductor when we get to Hogsmede, I'm sure it's nothing serious," I replied to my scare friend.
Suddenly the train's lights came back on. Katie and Rose sighed. " Finally," Scorpius said as the train slowly started moving again.
Katie, Rose, Scorpius and I began talking about what classes we'd like most, the teachers, what house we'd want to be in. And before I knew it, we arrived at the Hogsmede train station.
" Firs' years over here!" The familiar voice of Hagrid the half-giant called. Katie and Scorpius gasped at the sight of the large, bushy haired man, but me and Rose had known Hagrid since we were young. "Hiya Hagrid!" Rose greeted him, waving. He showed us to the small boats that would take us to the castle. " Four to a boat, " he informed us and the other first years that were crowded around him.
Scorpius and Rose went over to one of the boats, " Well are you coming?" Rose called to me and Katie. "Yea, " Katie replied. We made our way to Rose and Scorp and got into the boat. He handed me an oar while the girls untied the boat from the dock to join the other boats. We paddled put way to the middle of the crowd of boats. We paddled in silence, anxious about the sorting and what house we would be in.
Soon we arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hagrid walked all of us first years to the Entrance Hall. " In a moment you will be called into the Great Hall to be sorted into your houses. The people in your house will be like your family. And for those who don't know, th four houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Good luck"
