~Chapter 2~
"Friends"
Albus woke up on Saturday morning. For a moment, he was so happy he was finally at Hogwarts! Then, he remembered what had happened yesterday, he looked around the dormitory to see if he hadn't been dreaming.
To his dislike, Albus found out this was completely real, he was in the Slytherin dormitories, on top of another first year's bed there was a big poster with the Slytherin crest.
He stood up groaning, what he feared most had just come true the night before.
He pulled on his robes, checked his watch (10 am), and decided it was time to go for breakfast, if he was lucky, none of his cousins would see him and he'd manage to escape his first day at Hogwarts (which happened to not be a school day) without James' teasing.
Albus went to the Great Hall, which was full with a bunch of students. Professor McGonagall sat on the Headmistress seat far end of the hall between the rest of the staff.
Albus sighed, he had thought he'd be in the same house McGonagall had once been head of, frowning, he walked over to the Slytherin table and sat. He stared at his food deciding if he was actually hungry at all or not.
After eating some toast, he sat up and walked through the Great Hall, aiming to go unoticed to take a walk on the grounds. Just as he was about to step away from the castle, someone pulled his robes from behind.
Just as he had expected, his brother James stood there, watching him in a rather curious way.
"So a Slytherin, huh, Albus?" James said with some dislike.
"What do you want, James?" Albus snapped.
"Jeez, I was only trying to cheer you up!" James said "I know you never wanted to be a Slytherin."
"Cheer me up?" Albus mumbled "Uncle Ron will disinherit me."
"Nah, he was only joking" James said smiling.
"Really? You think so?" Albus said hopefully
"Er-" James said "Yea, sure...-"
"Leave me alone, would you?" Albus said annoyed.
James did as said and walked towards the castle.
Albus tought his parents deserved to know which house he had been sorted into. So he went back to his dormitory, grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill and started to write his letter.
"Dear Mom and Dad,
Everything has gone wrong since I came here.
The sorting hat told me I had something of a Gryffindor since I was very brave, I got exited, and the hat ended up shouting "SLYTHERIN!".
James is being annoying about it, I don't want to talk to anyone. Gosh, Slytherin, REALLY? Rose was sorted to Ravenclaw, at least it's better than THIS.
I hope Uncle Ron doesn't disinherit me.
Love,
-Albus"
Albus re-read his letter, It sounded pretty negative and was short, but it was all he wanted to say. Really, nothing good had happened since he came to Hogwarts.
The weekend ended, it was Monday, Albus' fist day of classes. He would've been exited if it wasn't for what had bothered him since the first day.
He hadn't made any friend either, the only people he had talked to since his arrival had been Rose (who thought his dad would disinherit her too) and James. He had avoided any other person, specially for Fred.
Albus walked into Professor Albright's classroom, the Potions master.
He would've looked forward to this class, but no, Slytherin and Gryffindor had potions together, that's what Albus least wanted.
As he entered the classroom, he heard a Gryffindor shout at him "Oh, it's Potter! The son of the great Gryffindor Harry Potter, nephew or Hermione Granger and Ronal Weasley... in SLYTHERIN!" Several people laughed, through he had found it not funny at all.
Shooting a sharp looks at the boy, Albus sat next to a tall blond boy.
"Hi" he said shyly
"Hi!" the blond boy answered cheerfully "You must be Albus Potter?" Albus nodded "Nice to meet you" They shook hands "Scorpius"
"...Malfoy?" Albus asked nervously, knowing very well Uncle Ron would be yelling at him if he told him he was talking to a Malfoy.
"Yes" Scorpius answered bitterly "And yes, I am son of Draco Malfoy, the Death Eater who tried to kill the man who you were named after" he sighed, hesitated a moment, then whispered "I'm not like him, you know, I never wished to be a Slytherin, neither would I ever think of joining dark forces or something..."
"I didn't want to be in Slytherin either" Albus admitted "But the Sorting Hat said it had no choice, that I fitted here"
"Same" Scorpius sighed "Anyways, I hope we can be friends, I actually have none, people think I'm a Death Eater too even if Voldemort's gone."
Albus smiled "I think we'll be great friends, Scorpius"
