You should probably read the 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' epilogue before you read this story or at least have seen the movie just so you can know the general fact. Though I have changed it quite a bit

ENJOY!

Disclaimer: Nothing has changed; Harry Potter still belongs to J.K Rowling

"James!" yelled Dominique Weasley from behind them. The Potters and Weasleys turned around to see the petit blonde running toward them with her parents trailing behind. She jumped onto James and gave him what looked to be an excruciatingly constricting hug. After prying Dominique off him, James turned and glared at Victoire. She blushed a very Weasley red and turned and kissed her parents goodbye.

"James, that was unnecessary!" Ginny said angrily.

"But mum, she was snogging Teddy! OUR TEDDY!" he grumbled, stomping his foot like a child.

"James Sirius Potter," warned his father.

"Fine! Come on Dom we'll miss the train!" he gave his parents a small one armed hug each and then run off with the girl trailing behind him. Albus turned to his parents and Harry put his hand on his shoulder.

"Remember what I said" Albus nodded and turned to his mother.

"Have fun and don't forget to write to us as soon as you've been sorted," she said, her eyes were shining from tears that were threatening to fall. She pulled him into a hug and Albus could feel the tears soaking into the back of his shirt. He patted his mum on the back and slowly started to pull away. He put an arm around Lilly's shoulder comfortingly and squatted down at her height.

"Don't worry Lil', next year you'll be going to Hogwarts with James and I. And I promise I'll send you something really special so it'll feel like you're there with me," he whispered the last part in her ear and she giggled. He gave her a hug and stood up again. He picked up his bags and boarded the train. After searching the train, he found an empty cabin and slotted his bags in the storage above his head.

He opened his window and stuck his head outside. Through the bustling of the crowds, he spotted his parents and Lilly standing with his aunt and uncle. They smiled at him and he waved back. Soon the smoke blocked his view and he had to stick his head back in to avoid the fumes.

Scorpius Malfoy was happy about going to Hogwarts, like many kids of his age but he was worried about the reactions he would get from people when he told them about his father and his grandfather. His parents didn't think he did but he noticed the looks that people gave them when they were walking down Diagon Alley. It had something to do with the war and he wanted to learn more about it.

His father had showed that he would miss his son at home but as soon as they were outside the warded area of Malfoy Manor, his demeanour changed and he was the cold and almost heartless man that people saw him for. It always confused the young boy as to why this was, why his father any different that he was most of the time when it was just him and his mother. Astoria Malfoy was the perfect wife, stayed at home, looked after what the children needed and supported her husband no matter what.

His father had told him that he would be very disappointed if Scorpius did not make it into Slytherin or at the very least Ravenclaw. Astoria had gently scolded him and said that it didn't matter and that they would love him no matter what. She lied, they both did. Neither of them wanted their son to be in any house other than Slytherin. Scorpius had made up his mind that he would not risk being disowned by his parents and he would prove whatever doubts they had wrong by making into Slytherin.

It was official, Albus was going to Hogwarts and it was scaring him a little bit. Everything was going so fast. He had received his letter 8 months ago and =there was a huge sense of relief that he was magic and he was attending the same school as his parents and relations. .He was a little nervous though because of all the stories he had been told by his father and his uncle Ron. They, mostly Ron, had told tales of giant serpents, vicious dragons and slippery mer-people. Rod had been in the middle of telling Albus the story of how he, Hermione and Harry had snuck out and saved the school from a savage werewolf when Ginny and Hermione had walked through the fireplace. Albus was glad that he was getting away from home because his mother and his aunt were scarier than any dragon or werewolf could ever be.

"Blimey!" came a cry from outside his compartment followed by a crash, bringing him from his thoughts. He opened his compartment door to see a very blonde boy, lying on the ground face down. For a moment the boy lay completely still and because of his robes, Albus couldn't see whether he was breathing or not. Albus jumped back into his compartment when the boy turned to the side and groaned.

"I don't suppose you would be so kind as to help me up?" he asked, limply reaching out a hand.

"Uh, sure," Albus grabbed his hand and hauled him to his feet. He then bent down and picked up all the scattered books and lugged the boy's things into the compartment.

"Thanks. I'm Scorpius Malfoy by the way, who are you?" the newly named Scorpius asked sticking out his hand again, this time as a greeting gesture. Albus hesitated, Malfoy? Hadn't dad and Uncle Ron said something about a Malfoy? He must have looked rude because Scorpius frowned and pulled in his arm a little.

"Sorry, I'm Albus Potter;" he shook his hand "Is your father Draco Malfoy?"

"Yes and your father is Harry Potter correct? My father talks about your family quite, frequently," he said, now looking a little bit less friendly. Anger boiled inside Albus.

"Is there a problem with my father being who he is?" he stood up and glared down at Scorpius. The blonde's eyes widened and he placed his hand protectively in front of his face.

"I was just saying. If you don't learn to control your temper you might find yourself doing a lot of 'extra chores' this year," sneered Scorpius bringing arms down and sitting up straighter. Albus had his wand against Scorpius' before the shorter boy could even blink.

"Yeas but imagine my satisfaction after blasting your face off," his eyes flashed dangerously and Scorpius instantly regrated his choice of words. Albus could feel the spell on his lips and as he was about to say them, the compartment door slid open and Rose Weasley appeared.

"There you are Albus, what are you doing?" she asked placing her hands on her hips and glaring at Albus' wand. Fear replaced anger and he withdrew his wand, stepping away from Scorpius. Rose marched towards Albus and stood in between the two boys.

"What are you thinking? Bring out you're wand and risking getting in trouble before we are even at Hogwarts and Merlin I sound like my mother," she scolded. Albus sank into his seat and muttered a faint 'I'm sorry'. She turned to the blonde who was smirking slightly.

"As for you, I know my cousin enough to know that he wouldn't do something like this without being provoked. You are just as at fault but I am not in the mood for any of your excuses. I would like to enjoy my first day at Hogwarts and it will not be spoiled because you two can't be civil towards each other," she huffed, placing her bag on the seat and sitting down next Albus.

Scorpius stood there, stunned. No one had ever talked to him like that before and he had to admit that he sort of liked it. He mentally shook himself and sat down. He looked at the mysterious red haired girl and then at Albus.

"I apologise for my rude behaviour, I probably wasn't telling the complete truth. My father talks about how he regrets how he treated your father during his school years and that he is thankful for what your father did for him during the war," said Scorpius and Albus felt his eyes widen. His cousin was awesome but he had to remember not to get on the wrong side of her.

"That is very courteous of you," Rose turned to Albus "Do you have something to say?" Albus flicked his eyes nervously towards Rose and then turned to the blonde.

"I'm sorry. I guess I just over reacted," he mumbled.

"Good, now shake hands so you can be friends," the two of them got up, shook hands and sat down again. The trio fell into a comfortable silence and Albus' thoughts drifted back to Hogwarts and what lay ahead of them. His mother had told him not to worry but was she really right? He had a strange feeling deep in his gut that things were not to go to plan this year.
