Hi there! I'm new here at , and I've been trying to write a story for Albus Potter. I know it's a little late, considering the last movie came out like 2 years ago, but I thought it would be cool. Anyways, I'll try to do weekly uploads, but I can't promise anything. I've uploaded the first five chapters so you guys can get a general idea, and there will be more coming your way. Enjoy, and please review!

Note: All characters, objects, and plot lines from Harry Potter legally belong to J.K. Rowling. I do not own any previously created figments of that book series.

Chapter 1: King's Cross

Albus Severus Potter stepped nervously onto the Hogwarts Express. His best friend, Rose Weasley, stood next to him, her wild red curls blowing madly in the wind as she waved goodbye to her parents. Albus quickly found himself doing the same. Their parents blew them their last few kisses, and ended their teary goodbye. As the train finally pulled away from the station, Albus and Rose walked along the corridor searching for a compartment. As he passed by one of them, he noticed a boy with white-blonde hair and piercing gray eyes sitting glumly in a compartment full of people wearing Slytherin robes. Scorpius Malfoy. Their eyes met for a moment, but then Scorpius scowled and looked away. Albus, taken aback, rolled his eyes and moved along. Apparently some things never changed.

Finally, Rose spotted a compartment with just one girl who had jet black hair and stunning, ocean-blue eyes.

"Hello, do you mind if we sit here?" Rose asked politely. "Everywhere else is full."

She eyed the two of them, then smiled and nodded. "Of course; it would be lovely to have some company."

"So," Albus started. "What's your name?"

"Sapphire," she answered. "Sapphire Todesworth."

Rose smiled, and then replied. "Nice to meet you. I'm Rose Weasley and this is Albus Potter."

Sapphire, who had been drinking from a bottle of water, suddenly sprayed it out of her mouth. "The Albus Potter? As in son of Harry Potter? And Rose Weasley, daughter of Hermione and Ronald Weasley?"

Albus and Rose, quite used to these reactions, just nodded.

Her mouth dropped open. "Wow," she said. "It must be awesome to have the Golden Trio as your parents. Although I wouldn't know. But hey, I bet you guys will get O's in History of Magic and Defence against the Dark Arts! Good thing, too, I hear Professor Binns is a complete bore."

Albus laughed. "It certainly comes with its perks, but the attention can get annoying. For one thing, it makes me nervous being the center of attention, and people keep expecting me to be just like my dad."

Sapphire nodded understandingly. "Well, don't worry! I judge people on what they're like, not their parents! Anyways, what house do you think you guys will get into?"

Rose said "Well, I'm hoping for Gryffindor like my parents, but Ravenclaw wouldn't be bad either."

Albus said nothing, remembering James' taunting on the car ride here and on the platform.

"Why aren't you saying anything, Albus?" asked Sapphire.

Rose said "Oh, you're not still worrying about what James said, are you? Don't worry, you won't be in Slytherin! He was just teasing!"

Albus stared at them. "But what if I am in Slytherin? Mom and Dad will probably disinherit me, like Uncle Ron said!"

Rose rolled her eyes. "Please, Al, you and I both know he was joking. Your parents would be proud of you anywhere."

"Yeah," Sapphire chimed in. "Besides, what's so bad about being in Slytherin? I mean, sure it's for the evil, and where dark wizards go, and everyone hates them, and...I lost my train of thought." She joked.

Noticing Albus' expression, she cringed and apologized. "I was just kidding! Honestly, there's nothing wrong with being in Slytherin. It can also mean you're clever and ambitious, not just sneaky."

Albus sighed, and agreed to what they said so they wouldn't push the topic further. He quickly started talking about Quidditch, getting Sapphire and Rose in a heated discussion of their favourite teams and who had a shot at winning the World Cup. As they argued, Albus stared out the window, wondering about the consequences of being sorted in Slytherin. Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw would be alright too, but not Slytherin. Not after everything he heard. Lost in his thoughts, he didn't even realize that the train had stopped until Rose nudged him and helped him up.

"Firs' years over here! Firs' years over here!" shouted a familiar voice.

"Hagrid!" Albus beamed and ran over to hug him as Rose did the same thing. Sapphire just stared at the two of them with a mixture of surprise and confusion. Albus quickly explained about Hagrid being a family friend, and the gamekeeper and professor here at Hogwarts. Sapphire regained her composure and politely offered a hand in greeting. Smiling, all three of them headed towards the boats.

Hagrid stopped them, and asked nervously, "Would one of you mind going across with the Malfoy boy over there? With me in the boat, I don't think all three of you could travel across."

Rose looked over at them, and seeing that they didn't want to, she sighed. "I'll go."

She headed over while Hagrid thanked her profusely. Sapphire chattered away about classes at the castle, while a feeling of uneasiness settled over Albus as they neared it. The fear of where he would be sorted began to overtake him again. However, there was no time to dwell on it now, as the boats neared the shore. When they got down, he couldn't help but notice that Rose had an angry expression on her face. But before he could ask her what was wrong, he missed his chance. Hagrid led the first years to a large door and knocked three times. Here it was. Hogwarts.
