"Potter, Albus"

Albus grew even paler than he already was and walked to the stool that held the hat that would decide his fate. His hands shook as he raised it to his head.

Oooh! A Potter! I sorted your brother last year. Cheeky little fellow.

Yeah, he does that.

You sound nervous.

I'M BRAVE I SWEAR! PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T PUT ME IN SLYTHERIN!

My goodness! I would never do that! You've got too much good in you.

Oh thank Merlin! I can't wait to tell dad!

Why were you so worried about that?

Well, the Slytherins would eat me alive.

I'm sure they wouldn't do tha-you know what, yeah bad idea. The Hufflepuffs are nice.

If you don't mind sir, I would much rather be in Gryffindor.

Hmm...you seem brave enough. What's all this rubbish with spiders though?

Have you ever seen one? They're terrifying! And I have it on good authority that my uncle got in here with a phobia of spiders! Everyone has something they're scared of! No one's perfect!

Hahaha. Rightly so Mr. Potter! Gryffindor it is.

Thank you Mr. Hat! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Do me a favor though, could you be friends with that Scorpius boy? I'm afraid he'll have a hard time, but he's a very polite and enthusiastic child, and in much more danger of getting eaten by Slytherins than you.

Yes, sir! He looked nice enough...

The Hat decided this was defiantly one of the better years.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

The entire table jumped up and started cheering. James was jumping up and down saying "I told you so, I told you so!" The Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws clapped politely. The Slytherins were still in shock.


Albus is very high strung. I would imagine him as a Gerbil in this story. Not so much in my other story...more like a flamboyant unicorn in that one :) And to clear anything up, if you've read my other story, Only a Little Insane, they have nothing to do with each other. This isn't a prequel or anything.

Anyways. Next is Rose, and then all about their first year.

Until next time muchachos :D
