Albus Potter has always had certain standards to live up to. Son of two of the greatest war heroes of their generation, brother to the thriving Hogwarts student with a bright mind a thirst for trouble. But something about him has always seemed different, though he could never pinpoint it.

When Albus Potter and his faithful cousin, Rose Weasley, meet fellow first year Scorpius Malfoy on the train to Hogwarts, they never question why they both were so keen on him so quickly. Everything just seemed to have clicked. The three are fast friends and are Sorted together.

But Hogwarts has never settled, Albus' father can attest to that. The castle always gives those who need it an opportunity to prove themselves, and that is just what Albus, Rose and Scorpius must do. Because trouble never seems to leave Hogwarts, and the three must find a way to make it through their first year without killing themselves...or worse, being expelled.
