Harry Potter: The Next Generation

Chapter 1

Albus looked through the train's window at his mum and dad waving at him, others staring at the Famous Harry Potter. He was in deep worry of the staring and whispering at his father, and him. He looked at Rose and said, "I bet I'll be expected to do brilliant things" and Rose smiled.

"That'll be easy 'cause you're brilliant, if a bit mad" Rose said, and Albus smiled.

Albus heard a knock on the compartment door as it slid open, revealing Sammy Longbottom, looking a bit nervous, "Is it alright if I sit here?" he asked, and Albus and Rose gestured to sit down. He smiled thankfully and sat down. Albus remembered this was his first year too, and asked "I'm guessing you'll be a bit embarrassed about your father being a teacher then?" and Sammy laughed, nodding. "I hope he doesn't be biased, and give me better marks" Sammy said longingly and Rose shook her head, "He won't, if he does, he'll be expelled as a teacher"

Sammy leaned back. "Good"

They got changed into their school robes, and laughed to themselves about how their parents used to have old wizard hats, remembering the weird fashion sense then.

They had arrived, Albus realised, judging by the train slowing to a stop. Albus got out, and they walked over to Hagrid, as he gathered all the other first-years.

"Oh, 'ello you lot" he wheezed, "Ye look older in yer robes already" Albus, Rose and Sammy followed the others, and they caught their first glimpse of the new castle. It wasn't exactly new, more, rebuilt, after the famous Battle of Hogwarts, but it looked no different than in the pictures of it before the battle. All the first years were clambering into the boats, beginning their journey.
