Albus Severus/Scorpius
Albus Severus Potter stepped off the train, his stomach doing flips. It was his first year at Hogwarts, along with all the others around him. Professor Vane led them all into the great hall, all the other students watching carefully. Headmaster Longbottom stepped up to the podium.
"Attention, students of Hogwarts." Everyone stopped talking immediately and turned to face him. "This year, the new wizards and witches of Hogwarts, are very special." Albus looked around for James. He saw him flirting with a girl at his table. Albus rolled his eyes and looked back up at headmaster. "I once stood in this crowd, years and years ago. Now, I stand in the place of my headmaster, Albus Dumbledore." Albus's eyes grew slightly wide and a boy next to him elbowed him.
"My father says Dumbledore was just an old coot. "He sniggered, turning to his left to say the same thing to a short girl. Albus swallowed hard and turned back to headmaster again.
"This is a crowd full of familiar faces, my classmate's children. My own daughter, Alice, is in the crowd now." A girl in the back of the room with dirty blonde hair smiled and giggled. Neville stood back and wiped his eyes; waiting waited a moment before standing back at the podium. "Let the sorting begin." He nodded to Professor Vane and she walked up on stage with a ratted old hat, standing next to a small stool.
"Boot, Ellis." She boomed from behind a roll of parchment. A short red headed girl walked up from behind the crowd and sat on the wooden stool. Professor placed the hat on her head and it immediately shouted "HUFFLEPUFF!" She smiled and the whole room clapped. This went on for about an hour, until Albus's name was called. He walked up and sat on the stool. By this time, most of the professors were in tears or had excused themselves. The hat adjusted itself on his head, mumbling.
"Another bloody Potter…" A few Slytherins laughed. "But you…you're different…" The whole room listened in closely as the hat thought. "Something different from your parents…I remember putting them in Gryffindor…so you...you are … a SLYTHERIN!" The whole room went silent. James stood up, and so did many other students. Professors that were outside crying, came inside to make sure they heard right.
"Alright, Albus. Go to your table. "Said professor, her voice trembling. He nodded and sat down at the far end of the Slytherin table, everyone still watching him. "Malfoy, Scorpius" she said, slightly less loud, her voice less shaky as well. He walked up and before the hat even touched his hair, it shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" The room remained silent, all of the teachers struck with something close to amazement, something closer to fear.
"That's wrong." He stated plainly and sat down again. "Do it again." Professor put the hat back on him, hands shaking.
"Didn't I just sort you? You're brave! And courageous like Gryffindors ought to be." It started mumbling about Draco, but Professor shut it up, shoving it in a bag.
"Scorpius, take your seat please." He did what he was told, sitting at the very end of the Gryffindor
"The sorting is over. Let the feast begin." Professor nodded and food filled all the tables.
Before they started eating, Scorpius caught the eyes of Albus, the boy who stole his seat.
At dinner the next day, Scorpius was eating, talking to the girl across from him. Albus remembered her name was Rosaline. He walked up to him from behind and tapped his shoulder.
"You're a Malfoy. My father told me about you." Scorpius turned around quickly.
"Yea, what's it to you?" Albus cleared his throat.
"Sorry…that was rude. You're Draco Malfoy's son. My dad talks about him a lot, I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Albus Severus Potter." He held out his hand and Scorpius shook it.
"Yea, my dad talks about your dad a lot too." He smiled slightly. "I was supposed to be in Slytherin." He complained.
"Yea, I was supposed to be put in Gryffindor." Albus shrugged. "Everything happens for a reason, I guess."
"Maybe it was fate." Scorpius smiled, only just now letting go of his hand. "Maybe we were supposed to meet. Come together like this."
"Yea, I guess so, but I probably would've came and talked to you eventually…" a slight blush rose on his cheeks.
"Whys that?" Scorpius asked, turning to his food again.
"No reason…um, im gonna go. See ya later.: Albus gulped and waved, walking out of the great hall. He got his phone out and stared texting his dad. His text read:
:Dad, did you have feelings for a Malfoy while attending Hogwarts…?"
A few moments later, he ogt a text back reading:
"Don't make the same mistake I did."
Albus walked back to his dorm and got into bed, thinking about a certain blonde, while a certain blonde went to bed thinking about him.
