Disclaimer: I own nothing from the franchise in which JK Rowling created and the people you recognize from the series like ( Neville, Draco, Harry, Ginny, etc ). I'm only writing about how I see the wizarding world through Harry Potter's sons eyes throughout his seven years at Hogwarts.
Chapter One
The Unlikely Friends
Albus couldn't believe he was finally going to Hogwarts and start his magical adventure. The eleven year old boy looked as he saw his parents standing and his little sister by them. He was somewhat happy to be away from his little sister and constant complaining on why she can't go to Hogwarts. The little girl was someone who got on his nerves sometimes. He thought James was worst and he knew his brother was making Lily complain more. Then he came to his senses and he remembered today was his day no one else's. Then he felt a arm grabbed him.
" Get a move on will you?" shouted a familiar voice.
Albus turned to see his brother James standing in the compartment doorway. Albus turned and he said " I was just thinking." he said. James looked and he said " What Slytherin is like I reckoning." smirked his brother. Albus looked and gave him a dirty look and he said " Shut it James, mum told you to quit it." he said. James looked and he said " Do you know me? Since when do I honestly follow the rules?" asked his brother.
Then Albus looked and he said " Never, I'm just saying quit picking on me." he said. Then his brother looked and he said " What if the hat places you in Slytherin?" asked James. Then Albus looked and he said " Dad, told me that a man he knew was in Slytherin and he was bravest man he knew." he said. James turned and he said " Okay, who was this man?" asked James. Then Albus looked and he said " Severus Snape!" said Albus.
" Well? He was a death eater as well." said James. Then Albus looked and he said " I best be going." he said. Then James looked and said " Okay? Just remember be smart around other Slytherins." said his brother. Then Albus turned and he said " Shut it." he said. Then James smirked and went back to his compartment.
Albus couldn't believe his brother was a third year and was so immature. Then Albus began walking till he found and compartment and it had someone in it. Then Albus knocked on the door and he said " Mind if I join you?" asked Albus.
The kid had blonde hair , pale skin, and grey eyes. Then Albus immediately recognized the kid as Scorpius Malfoy. The kid was the son of ministry official Draco Malfoy. Then the boy looked up and he said " Feel free not like anyone else is sitting here." said the kid. Albus came in the compartment and he said " I'm Albus Potter you are?" asked Albus.
The boy looked and he said " Your the famous Harry Potter's son? " asked the boy who he recognized as Scorpius. Albus nodded and he said " He is my father? I'm sure you probably want me to leave don't you?" he asked. Scorpius looked and he said " No, Your actually someone who is willing to talk to me." said Scorpius. Albus looked and he said " Why do you say that?" asked Albus kindly.
" People think my family are cowards " said Scorpius. Albus looked and he said " Why do people think your cowards?" asked Albus. Scorpius turned and he said " Since the last battle. We may have fled, but nineteen years later people should have forgot about it." said Scorpius.
Scorpius had a point everywhere he went he would hear the family being bashed. His father did his best to try to do the best he could for the family. Then Scorpius looked and he said " Do you have any idea where you will be sorted?" asked Scorpius. Albus looked and he said " I'm hoping for Gryffindor, but my brother keeps hounding me saying I'll make Slytherin." said Albus.
" Well I hope for Gryffindor too." said Scorpius. Albus looked and he said " Why not Slytherin?" asked Albus nicely to the other boy. Then Scorpius looked and he said " Well Slytherin is more crueler than they used to be. Since the head of house is rather cruel.
" The boy is right." said a voice.
Albus looked and he saw a boy who had brown hair that was messy. The boy looked and he said " I'm Talen Nott and my sister is prefect named Tatum in Slytherin." said the boy. Albus looked and he said " Is your sister scared of the professor or something." asked Albus. Talen looked at Albus and had a bit of a sigh on his face and he said " She does actually she said he is a freak and she thinks he is a supporter of the death eaters or the former death eaters you could say." said Talen. Albus looked and he asked what his brother his said about a professor by the name of Professor Tarik Carrow the supposed head of Slytherin house. Then he said " Would that Professor be Tarik Carrow " asked Albus.
He knew of the name and his father had showed him photos of him which were when he was a student at Hogwarts. Then Scorpius looked and he said " So Tarik is a freak your sister said?" asked Scorpius. Now Albus had an idea he didn't want Slytherin if his head would be an death eater, but he couldn't make assumptions after all he would have to have him as professor at one point. Then he heard Talen say and he asked " I don't think I heard you introduce yourself." said Albus. Then Albus looked and he said " I'm Albus Potter the son of well you know the famous Harry Potter." said Albus.
Then Talen looked and he said " Well I wouldn't be ashamed that your father is famous. I'd wish my father was famous, but my family is hated you know." he said. Albus had sigh on his face. He felt bad for Talen and Scorpius, because he heard stories from several people that they were disowned from the wizarding world especially the Malfoy family. Then someone knocked on the compartment door and it was no other than Oliver Longbottom standing in the doorway. Albus knew Oliver from since he was a kid because his father was his godfather and he had been a good friend to Oliver. Then Oliver looked and he said " Hello Albus! I was wondering if I could sit with you and your friends?" he asked. Then Scorpius looked and he said " Do you know this kid?" asked Scorpius.
" Of course I do, he is like my brother. " said Albus. Scorpius looked and he said " Well what's the name kid?" he asked. Albus knew Scorpius would ask because he didn't really know Scorpius. Then Oliver perked up and said " The name is Oliver Longbottom. My father is the Herbology Professor and my brother Frank is a prefect for Hufflepuff." said Oliver. Talen looked and he said " Your father is Neville Longbottom right?" asked Talen. Oliver looked and he said " Yes he is." he said.
" My parents aren't really fond of your father Oliver." said Scorpius. The eleven year old Albus looked and he said " Why does your parents hate Neville?" asked Albus. Scorpius looked and he said " My great-aunt Bellatrix tortured his family and my father would disown me if I associate myself with him. Believe me, I don't always listen to my father. After all your quite a fine person." said Scorpius. Oliver looked and he said " Well thanks, I really think anyone who is friend of Albus is a friend of mine." said Albus.
Then Talen looked and he said " Can we change the subject boys?" asked Talen. The three other boys looked and said " What do you want to talk about?" asked the three of them. Talen got a look on his face and he said " How about Quidditch?" asked Talen. The three of them nodded in agreement and Albus said " What's your favorite team?" he asked.
Scorpius looked and he said " I suppose my favorite team is Wales!" said Scorpius. Albus looked and he said " Your a supporter of Wales! I'm a fan of Brazil." said Albus. Scorpius looked and he said " Well the last world cup Wales would of made it if Brazil didn't beat them." said Scorpius. Then Talen looked and he said " You guys are insane, Bulgaria is better than both of Brazil and Wales." said Talen. Oliver looked and he said " I agree of Talen." said Oliver. Scorpius and Albus looked and said " Well they wouldn't won!" said the boys.
Then a knock on the door occurred and an old lady was in the doorway in a dress with a sweater and a pair of shoes. The lady looked and she said " Want anything dearies?" she asked kindly. Albus turned and he said " I'd like a lot of chocolate frogs, some bertie beans, and some licorice wands. " said Albus as he got some of his galleons out. Scorpius turned and he said " I'll get as much as I can get." he said bringing a bunch of galleons out. Talen turned and he said " I'll take what Albus is eating." said Talen. Then Oliver looked and he said " I'll take some Pumpkin Pastries, Cauldron Cakes, Chocolate Frogs, and some Bertie Botts Beans." said Oliver. The trolley lady nodded and she gave the boys the treats.
" This is brilliant." said Talen.
" I bet everyone else is bored because they don't have as much treats as we do." smirked Talen. Oliver looked and he said " I bet will be full by the sorting feast." said Oliver. Scorpius laughed and he said " Your right but who really cares. " said Scorpius. Then Oliver looked and he said " Well I'm hungry so lets eat our treats." said Oliver. The boys all got there treats out and Albus opened his Chocolate Frog and he looked in it and he saw a card that made him grin it had his father on it.
" What you got there Albus?" asked Scorpius. Albus looked and he said " My dad's card he said I'd probably see it a lot." said Albus. Scorpius nodded and he said " Got it." said Scorpius. Then Talen looked and he said " I got Severus Snape as my card." said Talen. Albus looked around and he said " Well do you collect them?" asked Albus. Talen looked and he said " I do actually collect them I have a ton of them." said Talen.
Albus definitely had a collection of chocolate frog cards, and he would probably add more to his collection with his bunch of cards he had. Then Albus looked and he said " I have several chocolate frog cards you know." said Albus. Scorpius looked and he said " How much do you have?" asked Scorpius. Then soon Albus looked and he said " I have six hundred, my family get them every holidays." said Albus. Scorpius looked and he said " Wow? Are you rich or something?' asked Scorpius. Albus nodded and he said " My parents are very rich and we live in a manor in Ottery St. Catchpole. " said Albus. Then Scorpius looked and he said " Your just like me? I'm rich too." said Scorpius.
Albus looked and he said " My father said your house is rather dark though." said Albus. Scorpius looked and he said " Believe me my house isn't like that anymore its cheerful a little bit." said Scorpius. Albus looked and he said " Well I'd love to see your house you know. My house is cheerful too it has a huge fountain with trees surrounding it. Our house elf is rather spiteful you know." said Albus. Then Scorpius looked and he said " What is he like?" asked Scorpius. Albus looked and he said " Kreacher is his name and he can be spiteful, but before he enslaved to my family he had a rough one. Now he gets treated very well." said Albus.
Scorpius looked and he said " That's amazing, I'd like to see your home though." said Scorpius. Oliver looked and he said " His house is rather nice you know. Its like your walking into a beautiful fantasy land. Its just so welcoming you know." said Oliver. Albus nodded and he said " Yeah it is just like that? My parents have good jobs and they built the house themselves." he said. Talen looked and he said " I'd like to see it too. Do you think we could come over during the summer?" asked Talen.
Albus nodded and he said " My parents would really like that. I hope were in the same house." said Albus. Then Albus saw someone come and it was Oliver's brother Frank. The boy had blonde hair that was short and messy on top but kept always neat. Frank was very fond of Albus because he didn't annoy him like James.
" Hello Al and Ollie, Who's your friends?" asked Frank politely. Albus looked and he said " Don't tell my brother though okay? Our friends are Scorpius Malfoy and Talen Nott." said Albus. Frank looked and he said " Your secret is safe with me Albus? I'm guessing your friend Talen is Tatum's little brother. Is that right Talen?" asked Frank.
" Yeah, do you like her or something?" asked Talen. A smirk lite up Frank's face and he said " Somewhat? Not like she would give me the time or day. After all she is dating Quidditch big shot Peter Saxton a snotty Slytherin. " said Frank. Albus knew both his brother and Frank hated Peter's guts because of what he did to Fred in his first year.
" Well my father isn't a fan of him either." said Talen. Albus looked and he said " Have you seen James or Rose?" asked Albus. Frank nodded his head and he said " I saw both of them. Rose was looking for you by the way. I told him I was looking for Oliver anyway and where Oliver would be is where your would be." said Frank. Talen looked and he said " Who's James?" asked Talen.
" My older brother, he is currently a third year and prankster. " said Albus. Talen looked and he said " My sister told me about him.". James was quite famous at Hogwarts from what Albus heard from his cousins. Then Frank looked and he said " Yeah, James is in Gryffindor and has lost so much points from that house its not even funny." said Frank. Albus sure heard that, because his parents kept getting letters from his professors due to signing replace warrants or paying for a broken bone or something.
" Well your brother seems like a fun person." said Scorpius. Albus looked and he said " Well my brother is fun, but he gets in trouble way too much." said Albus. Both of his parents were surprised that James wasn't expelled yet. Then Talen said " He seems more interesting then my older sister. My older sister is too much of caring for school then she is school. My little brother Alden is more interesting then here and he is nine years old." said Talen. Albus knew his brother would be the topic for now. Then he looked and he said " Hey Frank? Are we close to Hogwarts yet?" he asked. Frank looked over and he said " We are that's what I was coming to tell you. You four best get in your robes." said Frank. Then Frank looked and he said " I hope you make Gryffindor or Huffllepuff Al." he said.
Albus nodded and he said " Thanks, at least you don't think I belong in Slytherin." said Albus. Frank looked and he said " Your no Slytherin and at the looks of your friends there no Slytherins either. Despite who there related too. My brother is definitely no Slytherin. " smiled Frank to Oliver. Then he said " Well I need to get going." he said.
" I guess I'll see you at the feast or even maybe around Hogwarts. Good luck with your sorting." he said. Albus looked at the older boy and he said " Thanks? I wish you the best of luck with your first night perfecting." said Albus. Then Oliver looked and he said " Thanks for your concern Albus!" said Oliver. Then Oliver gave a wave and left the compartment. Then Oliver looked and he said " Isn't my brother cheerful." smirked Oliver.
" Yeah, your brother is a much better version of man for my sister." said Talen. The other boys looked at Talen and let out a giggle. Talen looked and he said " What's so funny?" asked Talen. Then Scorpius looked and he said " Your hilarious Talen." said Scorpius. Talen looked and gave Scorpius a smirk and he said " My sister's boyfriend is a menace, and a prick." said Talen. Then Albus looked and he said " I'd love to meet your older sister, she seems quite the drama queen." said Albus. Then Oliver looked and he said " Do you think you could break up your sister and her boyfriend?" he asked Talen. Talen looked and he said " She'd have my head for it. My parents only told me to hold my tongue around him. I'm hopping I'm not in the same house as them." said Talen. Albus looked and he said " You need to tell her how you feel about her boyfriend." he said. Albus felt horrible for Talen for his sister even though he never met her or seen her.
Then Albus looked and he said " Well we should get into our robes." said Albus. His three other companions agreed with Albus. Then the four of them went to a changing room and got into there robes. Till soon they were stopped by a face in which he saw Talen flinch and Albus looked at his friend and he said " What is it? " asked Albus.
" My sister and her boyfriend, they can never leave each other's side its revolting. Every time you see them there snogging or something like that. " said Talen. Then the boy apparently from what Talen described as Peter. The older boy had brown hair that was combed into a nice look to it. Everything was even he had a strong face in which made him probably attractive to other ladies in his youth. The boy had on a Slytherin robe and what Albus saw a prefect badge pinned to it.
" Why look who it is?" smiled the boy named Peter, and he looked with a smirk and said " Your sister has been fun to be around and her friend Olivia Benton was also amazing to hang out. " Your sister told me you been picking on her about me." sneered Peter. Talen looked at Albus and Albus couldn't stand, but help his newly made friend. Then Albus looked and he said " He wasn't all talking about how bad his sister is. He was only trying to make friends in which he has here. Your a real jerk to him he wasn't picking on his sister." smirked Albus.
" Nott who's this!" yelled Peter and then Talen's face was getting red. His friend was getting picked on by a jerk of a Slytherin. Then a voice came behind them saying " Leave the kid alone with you?" asked a girls voice. The girl looked to have brown wavy hair and had a familiar look to Talen. Then he saw it was Talen's sister. Albus looked and he said " Your Talen's older sister Tatum?" asked Albus. The girl gave out a smile and she said " As I see it you made friends Talen. Who would this friend be?" asked Tatum.
" This is my friend Albus Potter he is the son of the head auror." smiled Talen. The older girl looked and she said " Well that's good you tried to keep yourself away from those dark families and associated yourself with good people like for example the fathers. Who are your other two friends Talen?" asked Tatum. Then Talen said " Oliver Longbottom and Scorpius Malfoy? Oliver's father is Neville Longbottom and you probably know who Scorpius's father is." said Talen. The girl which appeared to be Talen's older sister said " That's good you know and I'm hoping your prepared for your sorting." said Talen's sister. Then she said " Well Peter we need to get off the train and get to the platform. " she said.
Albus looked from a compartment and saw they where at the platform. The boy looked and he said " Lets go boys" said Albus as he fixed his robe and he said " Nice to meet you Tatum." said Albus as he walked to an entrance and he was stopped by a hand in which he knew to be his brother.
" Al! Where the devil have you been!?" asked his brother.
The eleven year old looked at his older brother and he said " Making friends like you told me James." replied the eleven year old. James looked and he said " With who if you don't mind me asking?" asked James. Then Albus looked his brother in the eye and he said " Why do you care?" asked Albus. His brother turned and he said " Just making sure your not associating yourself with the ones you shouldn't be associating yourself with." said James. Albus never heard his brother ask him a question like this and he sighed and said " So what if I have, not everyone person in those families are dark!" shouted Albus. Then James looked and he said " What do you know Albus?" said James.
" James! I made two friends and they are Scorpius Malfoy and Talen Nott." said Albus. The James looked and he said " Well, wait to mum and dad hear about this." said James. Then Albus looked and he said " They will be nice to them and you know darn right they are welcoming people. You know dad is civil with Mr. Malfoy." said Albus. Then James let out his typical snort and he said " Whatever, but you need to watch yourself with those people. " said his brother. Then James left and he said " Good luck in Slytherin, but I best be joining my fellow Gryffindors." said his older brother.
" Goodbye James, and quit it with your Slytherin nonsense." said Albus.
His brother looked and he simply said " If you say so, but you will be thanking me later." said James. Albus looked and he said sarcastically " Sure thing James." he said. His brother grinned and he left to the platform. Then he saw his three friends come and they said " Should we be going?" asked Scorpius first. Albus nodded in agreement and he said " Yeah lets go." he said.
Albus looked at his friends and he directed them for the door and the boys walked off the train and saw people were loading off just as they were. Albus looked and he looked in the distance and he let out a smirk and he said " Look isn't the castle a beauty!" said Albus. Then Scorpius looked at Albus and he said " Yeah its very elegant." smiled Scorpius.
" You guys sound like girls." said Talen. Then Albus giggled and he said " Very funny, Talen!" he shouted. Then Talen laughed and he said " I know I am? Thanks for noticing." said Talen.
" Al! " shouted a familiar voice and Albus had a feeling who it was. He turned to see Rose standing with a blonde haired girl and a curly haired boy with freckles and who was rather chunky. Albus looked at his cousin and he said " Why didn't you find me on the train? I was with Oliver and we met two boys named Scorpius and Talen. " said Albus. Then Rose looked and she said " Well, you know my father will be mad if he finds out your his friend." said Rose. He knew his Uncle wouldn't be mad, because his uncle loved to joke.
" You know Uncle Ron wouldn't do that!" said Albus. Rose looked and she said " Maybe he will or maybe he won't. I also made friends as well and I'd like to you meet Alyssa Morrison and Henry Sliver." said Rose. Albus looked and he said " That's great, my friends are cool too." he said. Then Rose laughed and she said " Very funny, very funny " she grinned. Albus enjoyed his cousin because she was always being a nice person to him even in time he needed her to. Then she said " Well let's go." she said.
Then Albus looked at his cousin and she said " Well we need to find Hagrid." he said. Then Talen looked and he said " Who's Hagrid?" asked Talen. Albus turned and he said " He is a good friend of my father and mother as well as Roses parents." said Albus. Then soon Scorpius looked and he said " My father said he was a half-giant in which my grandfather despised." said Scorpius. Albus looked and he said " Well your family didn't exactly support half-breeds. " said Albus.
" That's true, I don't have anything against them you know. My grandfather thinks I'm not my fathers son due to my liking towards half-breeds." said Scorpius. Rose looked and she said " Well I feel bad for you? Don't worry were not like those anti-breed or anti-muggle people." said Rose. Then Albus looked and he said " I think I found Hagrid Rose." said Albus.
Albus knew because he saw an tall and chubby man in a different outfit than most.
" Firs' Years o'ver this way! " shouted a voice in which Albus knew to be Hagrid. The man had been a personal family friend to his family and had been Albus babysitter many times. Since his parents had worked a lot and he had grown very close to Hagrid and he knew Hagrid would be proud to see Albus. The eleven year old walked over to Hagrid and he said.
" Hello Hagrid, its me Albus." said Albus.
He saw the tall man turn and look at him and said " Hello Albus, ye ready for yer sorting?" asked the tall man. Albus nodded and he said " I am, but I'm scared I'll be Slytherin." said Albus. The half-giant in which Hagrid was looked at him and said " I wouldn't be getting worried about yer sorting there Al." said Hagrid.
Hagrid had been very supportive to Albus and he always tried to have Albus think on the bright side. More like what his parents always did and his cousins especially his cousin Victorie his very intelligent cousin who had always had a caring heart for people. Then soon he went back to paying attention to Hagrid he looked and he said " I am just scared James might be right in which I may be put in Slytherin." said Albus.
" Nonsense Al, yer parents didn't raise ye to be a Slytherin. " said Hagrid. His cousin Rose looked and she said " He's right you know." said Rose as she had her arms crossed. Then Albus should of known he would of heard Rose say something like that. " I'd be a Gryffindor without no doubt. I'm born with it in my blood so what should I have to worry about?" asked Albus.
Rose shrugged and she said " Enough of this, lets all get to the boats. " said Rose. He knew he'd hear that out of Rose's mouth, since his cousin was anxious to be sorted and go straight to the Hogwarts library. Then Albus looked at his friends and he said " Well lets get to the boats boys." said Albus. Then Talen said " Hey Albus? Do you think your brother will hate us?" asked Talen. Albus shrugged at that thought he knew his brother only wanted to show he was tough in which he honestly wasn't. Then Albus looked and he said " I doubt it, my parents wouldn't let him do that." said Albus. The fact was true his mother
Albus began walking down to the boats with his friends and he soon made it and he looked at the boats.
" What boat should we pick?" asked Scorpius.
The four boys walked to the boat in which Albus had chosen, for them to sit in. The boys loaded in the boat and soon situated themselves and then Oliver looked and he said " These seats are surprisingly comfortable guys." he said. Talen looked over and he said " Are you insane Oliver? Your in a boat? How do you think siting on wood is comfortable?" asked Talen. Albus had to agree with Talen how could a wooden boat be comfortable? He never knew it was comfortable he quite personally didn't feel a thing in his case.
" Oliver's right! These seats are comfortable!" smiled Scorpius. Talen looked and he said " How are they comfortable? I think sitting on wood isn't comfortable." said Talen. Albus smirked and said " Will you quit it you two?! " asked Albus. Then he heard someone say " Where's the squib!" he heard a boy yell. Oliver looked and he whispered to Albus " The squib is in the lake." he said. Albus believed what Oliver said because he knew he knew more things about Hogwarts then Albus did.
Then he heard Hagrid say " We are almost there firs years." said Hagrid.
Hagrid was right because the banks for coming into sight now. Then he said " You guys ready to be sorted?" asked Albus. Scorpius looked and he said " I guess I'm ready to be sorted." said Scorpius. Albus had a feeling Scorpius was feeling down and he asked " You don't seem very enthused." said Albus. Scorpius looked and he said " I'm more than likely going to Slytherin." said Scorpius.
Then Talen looked and he said " I'm probably going to be in Slytherin as well." said Talen sadly. Then Albus looked and he said " Maybe we will be in the same house. The hat can take your chose into account you know." said Albus. Then Scorpius looked and he said " Well I'm not really Slytherin material you know. My mother always told me I'm probably going to be in Ravenclaw." said Scorpius.
Albus's dream was to be in Gryffindor, like his father and mother. Then Albus looked and he said " I hope to be in Gryffindor." said Albus. Scorpius looked and he said " Well? I'm definitely not going to be a Gryffindor." said Scorpius. Then Albus looked and he said " You are brave because you got some guts to talk to me and Oliver." said Albus.
Then Scorpius looked at him and he said " I guess if you say so." said Scorpius.
After the conversation they say they made it to the bank and they got up out of the boat. Scorpius looked and he said " That was interesting" said Scorpius. Then Albus looked and he said " What was interesting?" asked Albus. Scorpius looked and he said " The boat ride." said Scorpius. " My father, told me it would be interesting." said Scorpius. Albus nodded and he said " Are your parents good to you?" asked Albus.
Scorpius nodded and he said " Yeah, they do want me to do good." said Scorpius. Albus looked and he said " Well that's good, well we should get going." said Albus. Then they followed Hagrid to the entrance and they heard snickering amongst students. Probably with how Albus was hanging out with Scorpius and Talen. Then Hagrid arrived to the entrance hall and he said " Well here it is? I'm going ter knock on door." said Hagrid.
Hagrid knocked on the door and soon it opened revealing an older lady who had an emerald robe and a emerald witch hat and a pair of spectacles on her face. The lady came and said " Well thank you Hagrid, now if I were you I'd go get warm in the great hall." said the lady. Scorpius looked and he muttered to Albus " That lady looks kind of strict. " he muttered. Albus looked and he said " I have somewhat of a feeling who it is." said Albus. Scorpius looked at him and he said " Who is it then?" asked Scorpius.
" Its Minevra McGonagall, the Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts and the Head of Gryffindor." said Albus. Then Scorpius looked at him and said " How do you know her?" asked Scorpius. Albus had known this lady for quite some time now and he couldn't be believe Scorpius didn't know her.
" I know her, because my parents know her and also because she was here when my grandparents were here and also my parents. She was even here when your father went to Hogwarts." said Albus. His friend looked and he said " Well that's interesting." he said. Then Talen looked over and he said " Scorpius you don't know this lady?" asked Talen. Scorpius shook his head and said " Not really? Its hard to believe you guys know her." said Scorpius. Then soon he heard Hagrid saw " Thank you Professor, and here they are." he said.
Soon Hagrid went in and up the stairs, and then the lady directed the first years to a staircase. As they got to the staircase she stopped them and she walked and then turned around and she said.
" Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I'm Professor Minevra McGonagall the current Deputy Headmistress and the Head of Gryffindor house. I really hope your train ride was okay, but do know no fooling around by the lake with the squid. Well enough of this, I'm happy your all here and ready to learn about the magic in which Hogwarts has to offer. Your parents are very smart to have be attending this school, because its the best wizarding education in all of Great Britian, Scotland, and Ireland. " she said.
Albus knew this school was and how his parents always thought very highly of it. His parents had told him he'd be meeting Professor McGonagall and the headmaster Abeforth Dumbledore who were personal friends of his parents. Then soon he focused his attention back to Professor McGonagall.
" Now as you know there are houses you will be sorted into, as you go through the doors that are behind me. Now you only are sorted into one of the houses by the Sorting hat and if you think you don't belong there. You do belong there and however long it takes to figure it out. Now the four houses you will be into would be Gryffindor in which was founded by Godric Gryffindor, as well as Hufflepuff in which was founded by Helga Hufflepuff, also for the wise students would be Ravenclaw in which was founded by Rowena Ravenclaw, then last but not least Slytherin in which was founded by Salazar Slytherin. Those houses will be like your family." she said.
Then she began saying again " Each one of the houses are leaded by a head in which are a professor here at Hogwarts and a former student in that house. Now the heads of the houses are Professor Tarik Carrow who is the Head of Slytherin, then you have Professor Sergius Hurst which is the Head of Hufflepuff, then Professor Filius Flitwick who is the head of Ravenclaw, and then there is myself who is the Head of Gryffindor. Now your houses do earn points for doing triumphs, but do know you lose points for breaking the rules or getting in trouble. Now as you should know the house with most points at the end of the year will be awarded the house cup. Which will be presented at the end of the year speech." she said.
" Well I believe I talked enough, so I will go and she if they are ready for first years. I will only be a few minutes so don't try to get in trouble and try to wise up a bit. Now I will be back in a few minutes." she said as she went to the door and vanished as once the door shut.
Albus thought her speech was rather interesting, but he did kind of get scared when she brought up Slytherin. Albus's nerves had calmed for a while, but now they were returning and he was getting worried he'd be sorted in Slytherin. Then soon he felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned to see Scorpius and he said " I'm getting nervous, I'll be going to Slytherin." said Albus. Scorpius shook his head and he said " I'm getting nervous too. " sighed Scorpius. Then soon he heard people beginning to mutter. One boy looked and he said " I see Malfoy is becoming friend with the Potter kid and Nott as well. Also Longbottom, I'd bet you'd be disowned from your family." smirked a boy.
Then Albus looked and he said " Shut it? Didn't you hear Professor McGongall? " said Albus. The kid smirked and said " Honestly you think I'd listen to a professor?" asked the kid. Then Rose chimed in and said " Well if you want to do some good in life I'd suggest you'd listen. " said Rose. The boy looked and he said " As far as I'm concerned I'm joining the Death Eaters when I grow up." snarled the boy. Then soon Professor McGonagall came and she said " Young man, get back in line." she sneered.
The boy looked and he said " Potter had made me stay out of line." smirked the boy. Albus exchanged looks with Scorpius and soon Talen said to the professor. " Albus, didn't do a thing wrong. The kid started talking to them and mocking the fact who he is being friends with." said Talen. Then Professor McGonagall looked and she said " Is this true young man? " asked Professor McGonagall. The boy looked and he said " Never mind, now can we go get sorted yet?" he asked.
Professor McGonagall nodded and she said " They are ready for you." she said. The first years soon followed her into the great hall and as they were walking Albus saw his brother and his cousin Fred and Louis sitting at the Gryffindor table. Then he saw his cousin Victoire at the Ravenclaw table sitting and chatting with her friends. Then soon Albus saw they were coming to an stool and he remembered his father telling him about how they sat on the stool and had the hat placed on there head.
Once they got there they saw the sorting hat and soon it bursted into a song.
" Welcome now, to Hogwarts,
where you will learn the greatness of magic.
And also about creatures or objects about me,
now before you can learn that now,
you must be sorted and that's my job,
as the Sorting Hat I tell you,
the Sorting hat, Now
I am the wisest hat which can sort you.
Now lets get to the houses in which I place you
in. You may be a brave and courageous Gryffindor,
which shows that cowardice gets you no where.
Or perhaps your wise and witty Ravenclaw,
in which intelligence helps you succeed.
Maybe you a loyal and honest Hufflepuff,
where lying and turning against each other,
only leads you to lose your friends.
Or perhaps, your a sneaky and cunning,
Slytherin, where your true friends are found,
and your true foes are made, I will
sort you in one of the four houses,
which will be your true home and your comfort.
Now for that I'm the sorting hat, the most
wisest hat of all. "
Once the song finished, the hall bursted into to cheers and shouts. Then soon Professor McGonagall came up and she said " Now I will call your name to come up and be sorted. " she said. Then soon she got her scroll out and began calling names.
" Abbot, Ryland "
A blonde haired boy with freckles made his way to the hat and looked to have a nervous face on him. The boy got up and took a seat and the hat was placed on his. After about thirty seconds the hat shouted " HUFFLEPUFF! ".

The boy walked down to join the cheering Ravenclaws.

The boy named Trevor went to join the Gryffindors.
" Boot, Thomas "
A brown haired boy walked up to the stool and took a seat and had the hat placed on his head. The boy looked more confident then the other boy that was just sorted. After twenty seconds the hat shouted " RAVENCLAW!".
The newly sorted Ravenclaw went down to join the Ravenclaws.
Then soon after a few names were called Albus heard Oliver's name.
" Longbottom, Oliver "
Albus saw as his friend Oliver walked up to the hat and he hopped his friend was placed into a good house. Then soon he saw the hat placed upon his head and after one minute he heard " GRYFFINDOR!".
Albus smiled as he saw his friend be sorted into Gryffindor, because he knew he deserved it more than anything.
Then after more names were called he heard
" Malfoy, Scorpius "
Albus looked and he really got nervous as he saw Scorpius go up and be sorted. Once he got up there he was scared Scorpius would be a Slytherin. Then once the hat was placed upon his head. After one minute he heard " GRYFFINDOR!".
The hall went into silence as Scorpius was sorted into Gryffindor. Albus couldn't help but to be happy he was placed there. Then after about five minutes the hall broke into applause.
Then after he heard more names be called he heard.
" Nott, Talen "
Albus saw his friend walk up to the hat and he saw his friend had some look of confidence on his face. Albus was very happy for Scorpius on being placed in Gryffindor. Then once he saw the hat placed upon Talen's head he looked and after twenty seconds he heard " GRYFFINDOR!". Albus was really happy where his friends were being sorted and that they would be able to be good.
Then after more names were called he heard his name.
" Potter, Albus "
Albus flinched at the name and he knew he had to walk up and be sorted. Albus walked up nervously and took a seat on the stool. The hat was placed on his head and he immediately grew nervous. Then he heard.
" Another Potter eh, I been wondering when I'd have you under my brim. You do share Slytherin qualities, just like your father. " said the hat.
" I do now do I! I want to be with my friends in Gryffindor." said Albus.
" Mr. Potter, you do know you have some Slytherin qualities and it may be good if you were placed there. Well you do also share much of your father's good qualities and much of your mothers. " said the hat.
" Well then placed me in Gryffindor. I really don't want to be a death eater. " said Albus.
" Not all Slytherins are bad you know, look at the potions master he was a Slytherin and he has strong alliance to the Order." said the hat.
" Well, why were my friends placed in Gryffindor then?" asked Albus.
" Because, they had a bravery of turning against there families wishes. Your friend Oliver had bravery in him like his dear father. " said the hat.
" You just said I held both of my parents qualities. Also didn't you sort my brother in Gryffindor. He is more a Slytherin then he is a Gryffindor." said Albus.
" Now Mr. Potter, don't get fresh now your giving more reasons to why I should place you in Slytherin. " said the hat.
" All I ever wanted was to be a Gryffindor, my brother kept picking on me about Slytherin." said Albus.
" Now Mr. Potter look at your namesake. You are named after no other then Severus Snape. He was a Slytherin." said Albus.
" I know and also look who I am named after. That's Albus Dumbledore. " said Albus.
" Well do you honestly want to be placed in Gryffindor?" asked the hat.
" Yes, I do, I really want to be with my friends and also somewhat my brother." said Albus.
" Well I guess you do share Gryffindor qualities, and Slytherin may also be a good choice to. " said the hat.
" So will it be?" asked Albus.
" Yes it will, better be GRYFFINDOR!" shouted the hat.
