I first started writing this pretty much as soon as I finished reading the last Harry Potter book, but that was a few years ago, so it is slightly different from what I first wrote. Anyway, I hope you enjoy, and please feel free to review! I will try to make sure there are no continuity errors. So, here it is – The Sorcery Club! This starts pretty much immediately where the Epilogue left off.

Rose tugged at Albus' sleeve.

" Come on," she said. " Lets go find a compartment. Maybe James will let us sit with him."

Albus nodded. Most compartments were already full.

" Where do you think James is?" muttered Albus.

" Right here Al."

" James! Can we come sit in your compartment? Everywhere else is full," explained Albus to his brother, who had come up behind them. But James shook his head.

" Sorry Al," sighed James. " But my compartment's full too."

" No way! You just don't want to be embarrassed in front of your friends!" cried Rose.

" No, seriously, it's full," laughed James. " See for your self. We're right next to it."

Albus and Rose looked into the next compartment. It was nearly bursting with giggling, gossiping girls.

" Who are all those girls James?" asked Albus.

" They, Al, are 'the James Potter Fan Club'," replied James proudly.

" What?" exclaimed Rose.

" That's right, Rosie," smiled James. " And if Al pays close attention to what I do over the year, then this time next year he too could have a fan club."

" But I don't want a fan club…" muttered Albus.

" Trust me little brother, you will, one day," said James. With a wide smile, he squeezed past Albus and Rose and into his compartment. Albus rolled his eyes, and he and Rose continued on their quest to find somewhere to sit. Eventually they found a compartment that was occupied by only one person: a nervous looking boy, who seemed to be in the same year as Rose and Albus. The boy looked up at them, his face half obscured by a hoodie he was wearing. With a small sigh, Rosa, slid the door open.

" Excuse me?" she said brightly. " Do you mind if we sit in here?"

The boy shook his head.

" I'm Rose, by the way, Rose Weasley," she added as she slipped into the compartment and sat down. Albus quickly followed suit. " And this is Albus Potter."

" We're cousins," said Albus quietly.

The boy straightened up.

" My name's Charlie Duharmen," he muttered.

" Really? We have an uncle called Charlie," smiled Rose.

They lapsed into an awkward silence.

" How come you're wearing a hood? It's covering your face," piped up Albus. Rose elbowed him in the ribs.

" Al!" she hissed. " That's not polite!"

Charlie laughed weakly. " Don't worry," he shrugged. " I was trying to hide this - "

He took off his hood, exposing his light blue eyes and green hair.

" How come you're hair's green?" gasped Rose, forgetting her manners.

" My mum turned it green while she was telling me off for turning my little brother's toy into a… well, I'm not sure what I turned it into to, but it gave him a few injuries. Anyway, my hair won't turn brown again, and none of us are sure what spell she used."

" Spell?" Rose repeated. " So are you from a pure blood family?"

" Half blood," replied Charlie. " My mum's a witch, her name is Marie. But my dad, Tim, is a plumber from Norwich."

Silence returned, and Albus began thinking about the sorting, and Hogwarts in general. He was so far away from home, and there was so much to learn. What if he got lost? What if he couldn't cope? And what if he was sorted into Slytherin…

There silence was interrupted when the compartment door burst open and Scorpius Malfoy swanned in.

" Hello, Potter," he spat. " Weasley. And… whoever you are. Ha! You have green hair! What a freak."

Charlie glared at him, and put his hood back over his hair.

" What do you want Scorpio?" asked Albus coolly.

" My name is Scorpius!" he yelled. " And I came to warn you. Our dads were enemies. They may be civil to each other now, but you can't forget the past. You and I will be enemies, rivals. Okay? You will suffer for all things Harry Potter did…"

Charlie stood up and walked over to Scorpius.

" I think you should leave," he snarled.

" I think so too," came a new voice. James was right behind Scorpius. " Slither back to your hole, little Sagittarius,"

" It's Scorpius!" he shouted, but quickly left.

" Right," sighed James. " I'm off. See you later Al. Nice to meet you, Al's friend. Cool hair."

Charlie sat back down.

" So… you're Harry Potter's son?" asked Charlie.

Albus nodded.

" Could you not guess when I introduced us?" asked Rose incredulously.

" Well, Potter's a pretty common name…" muttered Charlie. " But still, that's amazing! I've heard so much about your dad! He's one of my heroes!"

Albus merely blinked.

When the sun was starting to set, the three of them changed into their Hogwarts uniforms. Then, the train came screeching to a halt.

" Oh I'm so nervous!" squealed Rose. " Have I read enough books, have I learnt enough spells?"

" Rose you'll be fine," Albus assured her, but he too was nervous. " Remember – your mum is Hermione."

Rose nodded. " But my dad is Ron." She added.

" Ready to go?" asked Charlie.

" Yes," muttered Rose.

" Then let's go…"

So, that was the first chapter of The Sorcery Club. Did you like it? I hope so. But if you didn't, I don't mind, everyone has different opinions, so please, let me know what you think! Thanks.
