Albus woke up that day with a sudden shout from Scorpius. "Albus! Get up sleepy head. It's our first day!" Scorpius was madly jumping up and down on his bed which was right next to Albus's bed.

"Argh, five more minutes." He said, pulling the sheets over his head. He was still tired at to him, it seemed as though dawn hadn't even approach.

"Sorry, another day, I might let you off. But not on our first day." Scorpius said pushing Albus out of his bed. Albus fell face first on the hard ground.

"Arghh, what's wrong with you. No one's even up yet. " Albus pulling his robes on.

"I don't know. It's the first day. I'm just afraid we'll get lost you know." Scorpius with much more enthusiasm than necessary.

"You're sounding awfully cheerful for someone who's worried he'll get lost," Albus asked eyeing Scorpius suspiciously.

"Let's go." Scorpius said walking out of the dorm. Albus followed suited. When he got down, he saw Scorpius talking to Leslie.

"...she's crazy. She woke me up at six! Six!" Leslie was finishing with Scorpius.

"Who woke you up at six?" Albus asked curiously. Leslie looked at Albus. His hair was messier than when they met, and his green eyes still held a sleepy hint. Leslie didn't realise she was staring at Albus until Rose was pulling her to Rose's side.

Rose was giving Leslie that made her blush. Rose saw Leslie's blush. Impossible, rose thought. She can 't possibly...

"Guy's were going to be late if we don't move. Now." Albus was saying. Rose looked at her favourite cousin. Even as a child there was always a strong air of leadership around him. Out of all of her cousins, Albus was everyone's and certainly uncle Harry's favourite. Even if none of them would say it. This might be an interesting year at Hogwarts

"What's our first class?" Albus asked Scorpius frustrated. They had spent half of their breakfast time looking for the first classroom. Albus was wishing he got the map instead of the cloak right now. He had asked James for the map but his brother only smirked and started ranting about how to be a good prankster.

"Potions." Scorpius answered tiredly. Albus had asked him the same question every five minutes and it was getting irritating. It had already been an awful morning because they had to skip part of the breakfast and got lost. To top it all off, they had Potions with the Slytherins first.

"Why do they always put the Gryffindor s and the Slytherins together for Potions? Isn't that dangerous. I mean think about it, a bunch of kids who traditionally hate each other in one room full of poisons." Leslie was saying. Scorpius knew she was just trying to break the strain. It was working.

"Nick! Hey, Nick! Can you help us? We're kinda lost." Albus said sprinting towards Nearly headless Nick. I saw the look on Leslie's face and I knew she was going to ask a really tactless question. I shot her a look.

"Where to Mr. Potter?" Nick asked Albus who replied with a simple and blunt Potion.

"Ah, it's right down the hall there. Take the staircase down towards the dungeon. It's the first door you meet." Nick said helpfully. "Good day fellow Gryffindors." Nick called of as we all scurried towards the dungeon. We were all happy to note that we weren't the latest to arrive. The Professor wasn't even there yet.

"Alright. Class. This is your first class if the day am I right? Yes well, I want to tell you that although Hogwarts accepts all young wizards, I don't. Any fooling around in this class and you may just find yourselves with a week's worth of detention. I expect the best from all of you. No matter how stupid you lot are. If you can't catch up or get left behind by your classmates, you will not find any help from me. Therefore, I expect rapt attention in my class and remember. No fooling around." Our professor said. He was a tall man with short kept hair and eyes that were as hard as stones. He had an aura around him. One that said, you will not cross me. It gave Leslie the chills just by looking at him

"Mr Potter! What would happen if I added a newts eye with dragon heartstring?" he asked Albus. Albus looked blank and confused. But Leslie knew the answer, It was the Draught of Depression. She raised her hand but wasn't called on.

"Tsk tsk, obviously you thought you could get away without studying because of your father did you. Let's try again, What's the difference between Monkhood and Mosgrove? " Again Albus couldn't answer. Albus said quietely, "I don know sir."

"You don't know. Well , Newts eye and dragon heartstring makes the draught of depression while there is no difference between Monkhood and Mosgrove because they don't exist. And five points from Gryffindor for your ignorance. Turn your books to page 5 of your text book."

For the rest of the period, Albus was the item of ridicule by Professor Smith, as they found a few minutes after the pop quiz. He was constantly criticized and Albus wondered was it because Smith hated his father.

"Honestly, 5 points for being ignorant! And they say ignorance is a bliss." Scorpius said at the end of the day. Albus had personally enjoyed the other classes, especially DADA. The Professor, Dennis Creevey, had told Albus that he had the same knack for the subject like his father did.

"I just want to know why he hates you Al." Rose asked her cousin. It struck to Rose as odd for a professor to hate a student before they met.

"I don't know. And who cares." Albus said, ripping open a letter from Hagrid inviting him and Rose to tea that Friday.

"Hagrid invited us to tea Rose. This Friday after school. Wanna come Leslie?"Albus asked ignoring his cousin.

"I'd love to meet Hagrid again." Leslie was saying happily. Albus had asked her and it had made her so happy she was feeling slightly dizzy.

"Aren't you going to ask me?" Scorpius asked, upset that Albus hadn't ask him.

"Oh, I thought since we were already friends you would naturally come without an invitation." Albus said obliviously.

Scorpius beamed. Then Leslie said mock sadly, "So, you ask me because I'm not a close friend." She ended with a pout. Albus blushed. Rose shook her head at her cousin who was trying to explain to Leslie who just laughed.
