A/N the beginning is in the epilogue of Deathly Hallows but I changed it a bit. Just a warning. Enjoy chapter 1!

and for a reviewer that asked me a question, YES I DID SEE IT! on opening night :) it was great, but i teared up multiple times. i have to agree with you, i think deathly hallows and order of the phoenix are the best :)


"You know, if you really don't want to be sorted into Slytherin, the sorting hat puts your choice in account." Harry said. "How do you know?" Albus said nervously to his father. Harry laughed. "Experience." They both laughed, and Harry hugged Albus one last time. When they let go, Harry said, "You better get going." And he walked him toward the train. "Bye, dad." He said as Harry stepped back away from the train, it whistled loudly, and all the parents waved at their children.

James and Albus were standing next to each other, waving goodbye to their parents and sister, Lilly. The train pulled out of the station, and all of the children walked to the hallway where there were many compartments where the kids sat.

"Hey, I'm gonna go sit my friends, alright?" James said to Albus, walking ahead of him. "Can I come?" He asked, hoping to dear god he would say yes, James answered. "No!" and walked off. "He's the stubborn type.." Albus thought to himself.

Albus walked up and down the hallways, looking for a compartment that was empty, but they were all full. Finally he got the guts and knocked on the glass door and said "Is it alright if I can sit here?" The two girls and boy nodded, and Albus sat next to the boy. His hair was so blonde, It had the appearance of being completely white if you looked at him from a distance.

They all looked at him, and introduced themselves. The girl on the other side of him closest to the window had dark blonde hair and had freckles all down her face and neck. Her eyes were dark blue, and her hair in a side braid. "I'm Alicia Longbottom." She said sticking out her hand to shake Albus's. "My dad's the herbalogy professor at Hogwarts."

The girl sitting next to Alicia had striking black hair that was down to her back. her face was, let's just say, perfect. She had rectangular glasses on and her lips were bright pink from her lip gloss. "Hello, there. I'm Cathleen Finnigan." They shook hands and Albus smiled at her.

"I'm Scorpious. The boy sitting next to Albus said. "Scorpious Malfoy." He said, not sticking out his hand like the others. Albus smirked at him. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Scorpious."

About an hour passed in silence and the door opened. "Anything from the trolley?" A lady asked. Cathleen stood up. "four chocolate frogs, please." She said, handing over one galleon. "There you go dearie." The lady said, handing over four blue boxes. "is that all?" "Yes. Thank you!" she said, and the lady pushed the trolley to the next compartment.

Cathleen passed out the chocolate frogs to each kid, and sat back down. "Thank you!" said Alicia, and she opened up the box to reveal a living, chocolate frog. She quickly put it in her mouth before it jumped somewhere out of sorts. "It's the cards you really want." She said, pulling hers out, but waiting for everyone else to get theres so they could share them together.

After everyone ate their frogs, they looked at their cards. "I got Godric Gryffindor!" Said Scorpious, showing everyone in the compartment. "Wicked." Said Albus. He looked at his card.

"Hey, I got my father!" He said. Everyone went silent and stared at him. "What?" Cathleen said. Albus showed them his card. "Your father is the boy who lived?" Cathleen said. "Yes." Albus said. "Is that a bad thing, here?" He said nervously. "Of course not, said Scorpious. "I would much rather have Harry Potter as a father then my own, Draco Malfoy." He sputtered with disgust in his mouth. "My father was a death eater back in ninenty-ninety eight. Before Voldemort was killed." He said. "Disgusting really, I'm ashamed of him. He also told me he was forced to hug the basturd. Can you only imagine?" Scorpious chuckled. "That's about the only thing I feel bad for him about."

"Albus, why have I never met you?" Alicia asked. "I mean, your father and mine are great friends, or so I hear from my mother." "I don't know." Albus said. "Well, since my father has been employed at hogwarts, I can understand why I have never met you…" Albus smirked at her and looked at his frog card. "You're the quiet type, aren't you, dear?' Cathleen said. "…Kind of." Cathleen smiled at him and grabbed his hand. "You'll get used to me. Can we be friends?" She asked. Albus looked up at her face. "Yeah, yeah. Of course." "Us too?" Alicia said, pointing out her and Scorpious. "Yes." Albus said.

"So, are all of you guys first years?" Albus asked. They all nodded their heads. Albus smiled. "that's good. But, heres a question. What if we're all not put in the same house?" They children thought about it for a minute. "That's true." Said Alicia. "But if we are put in separate houses, who cares?" She laughed. "My father was in gryffindor, as if Cathleen's and your own, Albus. So it's likely we will all be in Gryffindor, but you never know."

"My whole family was in Slytherin." Scorpious said. "That's the only house I would rather not be in, to be honest with all of you."

Albus looked at him. "My father told me, that the sorting hat sometimes lets you choose what house." "Really? That would be great…I mean…I don't hate Slytherin, but it just doesn't fit my personality. I don't want the sorting hat to put me there just because I'm a Malfoy, If you know what I mean."

"Yes, I think I do." Albus said.

A few minutes passed in silence, they were all looking out the window.

"Do you guys want to know something?" Alicia said. "When my father's home, everyone stares at us, wherever we go. I can't understand why though."

Albus looked at her. "Same with me. I don't even have to have my family with me and everyone still stares."

"Whatever." Alicia said, and both of them laughed.

"It can't be any worse then going to my dad's aunt and uncles….they're a disaster!" Albus said.

"Why?" Cathleen asked. "They're muggles." Albus said quickly with a roll in his eyes. 'Oh." She said, instantly understanding why he described them as a "disaster." "It's actually quite funny to watch them try to do anything, like clean. The man is so obese he can barely stand without the floor screaming to cave in." They all laughed.

"You're funny!" said Scorpious, still laughing.
