I don't own Harry Potter or any of the other genius ideas of J.K. Rowling.

Chapter 1


Albus Severus Potter stood nervously in the Grand Hall with the other first years, waiting for their names to be called. Albus glanced at his brother, James, who was smirking at the sight of his younger brother in terror, then quickly looked back to Professor McGonagall as she called out the name of the quirky-looking blonde next to him named Olivia Payton. "I'm next" he muttered under his breath as the old, black, talking hat called out that Olivia was in Ravenclaw.

"Albus Potter!" called McGonagall with a little bit more pride by hearing those two names combined into one, hopefully, wonderful person's name. Albus took his time in getting up to the rickety old stool to see how many whispers he would start, but as soon as he turned around his stomach did a flip.

The whole school was looking at him, even the ghosts, as if he were a celebrity or a criminal. The intensity of the gaze made him look to the floor to escape them. He climbed on the stool and he waited for what seemed like forever to have the sorting hat on his untidy head of dark brown hair.

As soon as the hat touched his head the hat cried with delight "I am on the head of yet another Potter, am I! The decision should be obvious, GRYFFINDOR!!!" Albus was washed with a wave of relief as the hat called his house and he rushed over to a spot at the table, with room for Rose of course. As Rose Weasley was declared a Gryffindor, ( Albus knew she would be ) she also rushed from the front of the room to join Albus at the Gryffindor table.

Albus was so lost in thought about his father's past in this very same room, the fact that Teddy's mum and dad had lain dead in the same hall; that Uncle George's twin had been surrounded by mourners gave him the creeps so badly that he didn't notice James until he was almost going to jump the table to make him listen.

"Come on dream boy, go find the stupid Prefect so you can get into the Common room. Otherwise I will have let you in, and that would ruin your rep. big time!" James said in the tone that Albus knew immediately as the 'I'm trying to get you all scarred so you will mess something up' voice. He ignored it and ran to catch up with Rose and the rest first-year Gryffindors.

When they finally got to the portrait hole, the Fat Lady started to try and shatter glass with her terrible voice just like Harry said she would, and amazingly she finally mastered it after 150 years! Albus was bursting at the seams to write to his dad about it when an ear-splitting scream issued from a 7th year Hufflepuff girl and then the chaos started.

Sorry its so short but I will be quick to update.
