Albus felt sick, his new friends were related to death eaters? But they were so different, not even close to the evil wizards that his Uncle Ron had always mentioned with strong hatred. Why does it matter? Albus thought angrily. With his new friends he felt happy! He felt like he belonged! He never understood James and his cousins Fred Wesley's rash actions to prove there point. He hated how quick they lost their temper and would never listen to common sense. Honestly it annoyed him so much he always kept his distance away from most of his relatives. Instead he preferred to read and learn that was why he had such a close bond with his Cousin Rose. Of course that quickly made him his brother's victim for fun. But with Scorpius and Albert he felt so similar to them. They weren't stupid and brash like his idiotic brother. So why would it matter if they had family members who were on the dark side? In the end it didn't matter.
Scorpius sitting beside Albus noticed his new friend's distress and asked "What's wrong?"
Sighing Albus said "My brother likes to tell my father everything, that little tattle tale" They glared at James who sat at the Gryffindor table with Fred and his other friends. Albert snatched the letter from across the table and began to read the first few sentences aloud as a joke but quickly stopped to the part of "Bad Influences" Scorpius took the letter and also read it, a crease appeared in between his eyes.
"Tell your father you want to stay!" Scorpius handed back the letter to Albus and continued "I would hate to be in Gryffindor! Their all stupid, dim witted fools"
Albus frowned "My whole family has been in Gryffindor!" Scorpius flinched back in realisation to what he said and made an apologetic face "I'm sorry Al, I didn't mean to offend you"
Albus grinned and cheerfully replied "No, its okay. James fits that description perfectly. Stupid and dim-witted"
He and his friends laughed and continued eating. The excitement for the first day of class was reflecting in their eyes.
Hogwarts was huge! Albus and Albert who both had History of Magic together already gotten lost and had to get help from an nearby portrait that wouldn't stop talking about his fascination on Feathered Hat "I would rather prefer to have a hat with at least one feather then none at all". Boasted the bony man with very hallow cheeks. He was obviously wearing an overly large brown hat with two white and black feathers sticking out. The man was either bald or just had really short hair but they couldn't tell because of the large hat covering his bony head.
"I am very fascinated in the Phoenix feather! Y'know the golden red feather? It's very beautiful and pretty."
"Ugh… Excuse me… Can you please-" The annoying skeletal man in the portrait interrupted Albus once again and continued on his rant about… well feathers.
"But I surely do like the feather that belongs to the gallon bird. Of course I presume you've never heard of the bird before, obviously because it doesn't live on this planet anymore. To make it easier for you to understand it's extinct. But oh my lord its feathers!" the obsessed feather man swooned and clasped his hands together and gazed up toward the ceiling, he looked as if he was praying.
"Oh the marvelous feathers is like pure heavenly gift, its bright ruby red with speckled gold on the tips! Oh I would kill to possess such a beautiful feather!"
This time Albert tried to speak but was interrupted.
"But if I had to choose from the Phoenix feather and then-" This time Albert yelled
"NOBODY CARES ABOUT GOD DAMN FEATHERS NOW TELL US WHERE –"
The bald man gasped out loud as if Albert admitted to being a murderer.
"Y-y you hate f-fe-…" He grasped his heart and took loud deep breaths and acting on having a heart attack
Albus quickly intervened and said "No actually the Professor Binns has a large collection of... um different kind of feathers and we … ugh want to show them to you, but we just don't know where his classroom is…"
The annoying feather man hastily altered his expression and looked very excited and joyful
"Why didn't you ask me earlier, young man?"
"Well, we tried…" began Albert but the man once again interjected to Albert's sentence
"Walk straight down that hall and turn left. The first classroom you see to your right is Professor Binns! Please hurry and get those feathers I'm really curious to what he has" he bobbed in excitement and gleefully bounced up and down. The both boys didn't waste any more time and hurried down the hall wanting desperately to get away from that annoying portrait.
"That was the worst life experience ever" gasped Albert "I give my condolences to his mother for raising him."
Albus stifled a laugh as they barged into the class room. Everyone already had their quills and parchment out and were hurriedly writing the notes up on the board and lifted their heads when they saw the two Slytherin boys panting at the doorway. The two boys hastingly sat down at the two available spots at the back. Albus noticed they were sharing the same class with Ravenclaws and he immediately noticed Rose's bright red hair when their eyes met she deliberately turned away refusing to even look at him. Professor Binns hardly noticed their late arrival and continued mumbling sentences that only the front rows could here. Unlike most other students Albus wasn't surprised that Professor Binns was a ghost. His mother always scolded James for his horrible marks in History of Magic and he constantly complained how boring and brainless the Professor was. Albus now understood why his brother loathed the Professor. He seemed like a mellow and jaded fellow. He was hard to relate to and his teaching methods gave the students an uninterested vibe.
"The first day and he's making us write notes?" complained Albert "This sucks" he dropped his quill and leaned back resting his hands behind his head and humming. Some Slytherin's saw Albert and followed suit. At the end the only ones writing were the shrewd Raven Claws who glared at the chatty Slytherin's. After what seemed like hours class was finally over and the outpour of students was immense. Suddenly a very irritating, familiar voice called toward them
"Did you bring the Feathers?"
Without even looking at the annoying feather man portrait the two boys quickly rushed away, knocking over a few scowling Raven Claws.
"I swear I'm never walking through there again! That obsessive feather man is the reason Mandrakes cry" panted Albus
"And I swear I'm never coming to History class again" replied Albert "God that was horrible! Why does he still even teach?"
"There's a myth that he woke up one day and never noticed he died so he just walked off to teach class leaving his body behind" mentioned Albus
"No wonder he's such a blubber head, who wouldn't notice they died?"
Albus laughed at Albert's remark and the two boys smirked.
Thankfully they weren't late for Potions and they met up with Scorpius and told him about the annoying portrait.
"Well, I'm defiantly avoiding that portrait!" muttered Scorpius.
Professor Slughorn was a very chubby, overweight man and seemed like a very merry fellow with rosy cheeks and a round cherry nose. His tight silver and green waistcoat around his fat belly looked as if the golden buttons would pop off any second.
"Ah, first years" he smiled a wide grin appearing on his face. He scanned his blue eyes through the students and immediately his blue eyes fell upon my green ones.
"Look who we have here!? Another Potter?!" he called gleefully. The Gryffindor's and Slytherin's looked around making me the center of attention. "Great!" I stubbornly muttered under my breath. Thankfully only Scorpius heard and in return just snickered
"I always knew a Potter would become a Slytherin! It's a great honor to have you in my house"
"Thanks, sir and no the honor's mine" I replied giving him my best fake smile. The Gryffindor's merely looked daggers at me not giving me a single warm smile.
"Just as humble as your father" roared Professor Slughorn and laughed out loud making some students wince. "I see you share a lot of personality traits to your father, I'm expecting great things from you!" he winked and finally began to introduce the course. After class we were given the ingredients and potion instructions for a simple hiccup reliever potion that was to be brewed tomorrow. Albus and his friends were the first to leave the classroom.
"Watch out, Potter. Can't you see where you're going?" hissed a Gryffindor with straw-like blonde hair who deliberately bumped into Albus's shoulder. Before Scorpius could pull out his wand and curse the Gryffindor I replied calmly
"I'm sorry did I?" I asked looking completely clueless "I hardly pay attention to trash, their always in the way" A few Slytherin's snickered including Scorpius and Albert. The boy's face turned bright red making his already huge brown freckles stand out more.
"W-why y-…" he stuttered clearly very pissed off and embarrassed. "You little pathetic worm" spat the boy.
Albus sighed, saying "What's with Gryffindor's always losing their temper? It was true"
Karl looked as if he was about to blow up and his friend whose nose resembled a mouse's and had dirty blonde scrawny hair pulled him by the arm and said "Let's go, Karl. There's no point talking to Slytherin's"
Karl looked reluctant to leave just yet before he could spout anymore nonsenses Scorpius said
"Yeah, listen to your friend before you have to pay a visit to the nurse's office"
The straw haired boy heatedly eyed Scorpius and hissed "Shut up Death Eater scum"
The reaction were fast, Both Malfoy and Yaxley pulled out their wands and growled.
"I dare you to repeat that, Kaaarl!" Albert dragged his name and furiously glowered at him. Slytherin's and Gryffindor's were surrounding the two students both houses cheering for their sides.
"Fight, fight, fight" the crowd yelled. Even some older students stopped to watch the scene.
"What's this ruckus?" boomed a loud commanding voice. Professor Makeirn marched towards the crowd looking very annoyed. The first years immediately dispersed at the sight of him but Albert and Scorpius paid the teacher no attention and continued to scowl at Karl. Professor Makeirn noticed the two boys pointing their wands at Karl and he triumphantly grinned.
"20 points from Slytherin, Actually let's make it 40."
"But they started it!" complained Scorpius pointing at Karl.
"Another 10 points for complaining. Another word from you Malfoy and its detention."
Scorpius turned away angrily quietly complaining to himself. Spinning towards Albus Makeirn scowled, saying "For not stopping these two, I want to see you in my office tonight for Detention!"
Albus opened his mouth to complain but immediately shut it angrily glaring at the Professor. Professor Makeirn walked off and the moment he was gone Karl started laughing and jeering at the three Slytherin's "Serves you right!" and stalked off with his scrawny friend trailing behind.
"That was so unfair!" complained Albert "He didn't take any point from Gryffindor! He's obviously picking favourites only because they belong in his house!"
Albus started laughing and the two boys gave him questionable look.
"My father is coming tonight so I won't be coming to detention today" smirked Albus.
Classes were finally over and Albus never thought he would loath defence against the dark arts, thanks to Professor Makeirn. He wouldn't stop picking on Albus for answers unfortunately for him; Albus was a book worm and knew every question the Professor bombarded at him. But that didn't stop him from complaining how improper Albus held his wand. Unluckily Professor Makeirn loved to tease Malfoy and asked him countless times if he was familiar with the dark arts because his father was a death eater. This made Scorpius very angry and stormed out of class before the dismissal, of course getting him into detention.
"I HATE Makerin!" whined Scorpius as he jabbed his fork into his pork. "If I knew how to do the Crucio curse so I would do it on him without a moment hesitation"
After the dinner feast they headed to the common room and Malfoy dragged himself to detention grumbling the whole way. Albus walked through the empty corridors and entered the Headmistress office and immediately saw his dad standing with McGonagall.
"Albus" his father called his emerald eyes glistening behind his round glasses. "You look well! So I've made a decision with McGonagall that you would be transferred into Gryffindor"
Karl's jeering face appeared in his mind and Albus immediately yelled "NO!"
His father blinked at him in confusion and asked " I thought you didn't want to be in Slytherin?"
"Yes I did say that Father but I've made friends and I… want to stay…" he looked up towards his father's face and the identical green eyes met, Albus gave him his best pouty face.
Sighing Harry Potter leaned over and brushed his son's messy raven black hair "Are you sure, Al?"
He nodded and gave his father a pleading look.
"Fine, if the hat sorted you into Slytherin it must know you belong there!"
The two Potters left the Head Mistress's office and they walked through the halls
"I haven't been here in forever" his father stated "It brings back a lot of memories" suddenly his father's eyes were downcast and he looked very emotional. Before Albus could say anything he heard Makeirn's voice yell
"Why didn't you come to detention?! Neither you and Scorpius came tonight!" abruptly he stopped in his tracks as he caught sight of his father.
"Mr Potter?" he asked obnoxiously.
"The very one" his father replied nodding his head in recognition "I must apologize on Albus's behalf we had a very important meeting today with the Headmistress. Also can you wait a little longer before giving first years detention? Since their new I doubt there very familiar with the rules"
Albus enjoyed watching the red shade appear on his Professors face finally he stammered
"I, I guess. Please ugh… behave Albus in the future"
"Yes, Professor" Albus said giving him he widest grin.
"Well… I'll be going now! See you at Christmas Albus" and with that he apparated, leaving Albus and Makeirn behind. Albus turned his back toward his Professor and stalked off to the common room feeling very proud of Scorpius for not coming to detention.
At the common room he saw Albert and Scorpius sitting on one of the Black Leather couches playing exploding snap. As Albus walked towards them Albert's card exploded in his hands and he flinched back in surprise. Sighting Harry Scorpius raised his eyebrow and asked
"Well…? What did he say?"
"I'm staying in Slytherin" Albus replied triumphantly "We also bumped in Makeirn on the way, he was really mad you didn't show up for detention but my dad put him in his place"
Scorpius sneered and said "I'm not going to any detention! I wrote to my father too, hopefully he gets sacked"
Albus laughed and joined in the game of Exploding snap.
