A/N next chapter. And I just want you to know that there will be action in this story. I'm not going to try to create a new villain because I don't think it would be good enough. But I don't think that the story will be very interesting without a villain. Then it'd just be like a normal person at school and all the drama. That gets boring.

Disclaimer: I wished upon a star, but JK Rowling still owns Harry Potter and Hogwarts.

Chapter Four: Albus
As I walked up the stairs to the boys' dormitories, I looked at Rose one last time and smiled.
Though I wouldn't admit it to anyone, especially not my brother, I was nervous that the other boys would be scared of me. Why would they be scared? Well, my father did kill the darkest wizard of all time.
I just shook my head, clearing it of the negative thoughts, and continued up the stairs.
When I walked into the room marked "First Years," I saw three boys already there, organizing and decorating their stuff. As I went over and sat down on my bed, they stopped talking.
I was afraid something like that would happen.
They saw me as the son of a hero, and not a normal kid their age.
I sighed and said, "My name's Albus Potter. And can you please stop looking at me like that, it bothers me. I just want to be a normal kid."
They then stopped looking at me like I was a goat with three legs and a short kid with sandy-blonde hair spoke up.
"Sorry 'bout that mate. My name's Linus Finnigan. This is Damien Thomas and Zachary Puckle," he said, motioning to the other two boys.
First the one with darker skin and then to the one with big ears.
"I prefer to be called Zach though," said the one with big ears. They all smiled at me and continued organizing and decorating. I joined in and we talked about Quidditch and stuff like that.
Then soon, the pale boy that Uncle Ron had pointed out, came in.
He went to the last bed, sat down, and smiled at Linus, Damien, and Zach. Then at me saying, "Hi. You must be Albus Potter. I'm Scorpius Malfoy."
I smiled back and said, "Yeah, that's me. I'm guessing you've heard of my dad. Am I right?"
"Who hasn't?" He replied. "Though I'm warning you, I am going to treat you like a normal guy and not a famous person's son."
I smiled and said, "Great, because that's how I want to be treated. And I will treat you the same way. Just because our fathers didn't get along, doesn't mean we don't have to."
I said this, because my parents, aunts, and uncles had told me about Draco Malfoy and his and Dad's little rivalry. So I was assuming that this was his son. So far he didn't seem that bad.
He smiled and said, "I think so too. I'm guessing that you've already met these three?"
I nodded and he said, "We met on the train."
I nodded some more. I had sat with Rose on the train and various family members who came in, then out.
Curious, I asked them who else had been sorted into Gryffindor, because I had forgotten. Almost immediately, Scorpius said, "Paige Malone,"
"Who's a muggle-born," interrupted Linus.
"With brown hair," continued Zach.
"That likes to draw," finished Damien.
I looked at them, surprised that they knew so much about this girl.
"She sat with us on the train," explained Scorpius when he saw my expression.
"Oh, okay," I said. "Anyone else? Besides her and my cousin Rose, that is."
After a moment, Zach, who turns out to have a very good memory, told me that three other girls, named Brittany Moon, Isabella Adams, and Rebecca Jones, had been sorted into Gryffindor with the rest of us.
Soon enough, Linus asked me if I was going to try out for the Quidditch team.
"Maybe. I'm not sure what I'll try out for though. Probably keeper or seeker. What about you guys?"
Linus was the first to answer with, "If I can fly, I'll probably try out for chaser, though I doubt I'd make the team." Scorpius answered next.
"I think I'll try out for seeker. My father has been training me to be one, since before I could walk. It's the only position that I really know how to play."
Damien said, "Well, if I can actually fly a broom, I think I'll try out for either chaser or keeper."
Zach smiled, then said, "I don't know of I can fly either, but if I can, I might try out for beater. I may be skinny, but I have a wicked aim." Then, to prove his point, he threw a half-eaten chocolate frog at Linus, that hit him square in the nose.
"Hey!"
Zach just smiled and turned around, like nothing happened.
I laughed and saw Damien smiling, shaking his head.
Then, I glanced I over at Scorpius, who was laying on his bed, looking thoughtful. I decided to not bother him and leave him alone.
After a while, everyone started yawning. Zach suggested that we all go to bed. Nobody argued with that. We were all to tired to.
I laid in bed, wondering what classes would be like.
I hoped that all the other kids would treat me like Linus, Damien, Zach, and Scorpius did, but I knew that wouldn't happen. Hopefully by Christmas, I wouldn't be a three-legged goat. At least to most people.
But then next year, a whole new group of kids come, and they would gawk at me, and it would repeat every single year.
I hoped it would wear off some every year. I wondered how James handled it.
Surely there were more people staring at him when he first arrived. He was the first Potter kid to come to school.
People probably won't even blink when they see Alissa. At least people older than her wont. They'd probably just think, "Oh look, another Potter," and not gawk at her because they already knew James, Lily, and I.
I sighed. It was too soon to be thinking about when Alissa comes to school. I hadn't even had my first class yet. Then, I returned to thinking about classes, and quickly fell asleep.
I woke up in the morning to Linus hitting me with a pillow.
"Hey," I said sleepily, for I was still pretty tired. I tried to swipe at him with my noodle arm, but he just went over to Zach's bed and hit him.
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" he cried.
Zach moaned and rolled over so that his face was in his pillow.
I looked over at Scorpius, who was rubbing his eyes and saying, "Linus, it's six in the morning. That's too early."
I nodded in agreement.
Damien was getting out of bed and said, "Well, we're awake, so we may as well get up now."
Zach moaned again. I saw him turn his head and look for Linus. When he found him, he grabbed a nearby pillow and threw it at him with such force that he staggered back, then tripped over some shoes.
I heard Damien snicker as Zach mumbled, "I told you I have good aim."
I smiled and started getting up. So did Scorpius and eventually, with some coaxing, Zach.
"Come on, you're already awake,"
"We can just wait in the common room,"
"Don't you want to see Paige again?"
I remember he finally gave in, sighing and slowly staggering to his feet. The rest of us had cheered.
He smiled and said, "For Paige. But I'm warning you Linus, you'd better watch your back. And if you, or anybody else, ever does that again, it's your funeral."
We all laughed and within five minutes were downstairs. We saw other people trickling down to the Great Hall, so we followed them down.
As we walked, I thought about how Zach had said he was only getting up this early for Paige. I wondered what she was like, for she clearly had an affect on these boys. I hoped that she and Rose would become friends.
When we got to the Great Hall, I saw some of my family. I led my friends over for introductions.
Everyone who was a Gryffindor was there, except for Charlie and Rose, who were probably still in the tower. All my other cousins who were at Hogwarts were in different houses.
Me and my friends sat down near James. He looked at me and smiled.
"Good morning Al, nice to see you and your roomies up at the crack of dawn."
" 'Morning James. I'd like you to meet my friends. This is Linus Finnigan, Damien Thomas, Zach Puckle, and Scorpius Malfoy."
I saw my brother raise his eyebrow a bit, at the mention of the name Malfoy, but he stayed quiet.
"Guys, meet my older brother, James, and his best friend, who is also our cousin, Will."
"Nice to meet you," they both said at the same time.
"What so suddenly we're not important enough to meet the great Albus Potter's friends?" I heard a voice say. I turned and saw Fred.
"I know right? I mean, it's not like we were ever mean to him," I saw Roxie say.
"Exactly! I mean sure we did make his broom go haywire, and his hair turn red, and give him giant freckles, and maybe given him a couple skivving snackboxes or two, but that doesn't mean we're bad cousins!"
You could hear them smiling. I just rolled my eyes.
"Those are two of my other cousins. Fred and Roxie."
"That's Fed Weasley the Second to you!"
I rolled my eyes again, smiling with the rest of my family.
Then, Scorpius said, "I remember that you two were the ones singing the school song really slow!"
Roxie smiled and said, "Ah, so you've heard of us. Fred, look! We're famous! This little blond boy saw us singing!"
I laughed and said, "He does have a name you know. It's Scorpius, not 'little blond boy'."
"Nice to meet you Scorp," said James. "Do you play Quidditch?"
I rolled my eyes, yet again. James was crazy about the game and took it very seriously. Scorpius was about to answer his question when Linus interrupted saying, "Yeah, and he plays seeker."
James was about to say something else, when he looked up toward the doors and smiled, saying, "There's Charlie and Rosie. Who's your little friend Rose?"
Sure enough, Charlie, Rose, and another girl were there, sitting down at the table. Rose was about to answer, when the girl she was with spoke up.
"My name is Paige Malone. And you must be James. Rose has told me about you." She sat down at the table next to Scorpius, across from Rose, who sat next to me.
I remember James looked at Rose and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Oh she did, did she?" Then he looked at Paige, smiled, and said, "Did she say that I was athletic, funny, and good looking?"
Charlie snorted into her milk.
Rose glared at James.
Will had a small smile on his lips.
Fred and Roxie were obviously holding back a laugh.
And I rolled my eyes. I do that a lot when I'm around my cousins. Or at least these ones.
We all listened to what Paige's response was, and we were not disappointed.
"No, not unless you mean too skinny for his own good, rude, and big-headed," she said smiling.
Fred and Roxie lost it, laughing with each other and Will smiled even bigger. Scorpius, Linus, Damien, and Zach started laughing too.
Then, Charlie snorted into her milk again, but it actually went up and out her nose that time, which made Fred and Roxie laugh even harder.
Rose was smiling, but then got a disturbed look on her face when she saw chocolate milk dripping out of Charlie's nose. It was rather disgusting. But of course, Charlie was just smiling, and laughing with everyone else.
So was Paige. It seemed like she fit in with my family pretty good.
I introduced myself to her and she did the same.
Then, I heard Rose talking to my brother.
"Hey James, guess what! There's a metamorphagus in our year! Her name is Brittany Moon and she's in Gryffindor with us."
I saw James look up and down the table for someone who looked like they could change their appearance at will, but had no success.
"Like Teddy?" I had asked, curious.
Rose and Paige both nodded. Then Paige pointed out a girl with curly blonde hair and blue eyes. Wait no, gray eyes. Then I saw them change to brown and then green.
I smiled at the girl and she smiled back. I wondered if she chose to have her eyes like that, or couldn't control them yet.
Soon, the mail came and Paige was looking at all the owls, amazed.
James looked at her curiously.
"Are you a muggle-born?" he asked.
She nodded and watched the owls come down.
"Do you have an owl?" I asked her.
"Yes. It's a girl, but I haven't decided on a name yet. She's a beautiful barn owl."
"Like that?" I asked, pointing to a barn owl flying above the table.
"Yes! That's her!" she exclaimed as the owl came down in front of her. She tried to take the letter off its leg, but couldn't.
"Here, let me help," said James, who was sitting on the other side of her.
She smiled and let him take the letter off. Once it was off, the bird flew away and Paige opened her letter. After she finished reading it, she had a wide smile on her face. She explained that it was from her parents telling her good luck on her first day and that they loved her.
Then, our head of house, Professor Longbottom, handed out our schedules.
Mine, and all other Gryffindor first years' said that first, on Monday, we had double Potions with Slytherins, then double Herbology with Hufflepuffs, then lunch, then a free hour, and finally double History of Magic with Ravenclaws. For Tuesday, it said that fist was double Charms with Hufflepuff, double Transfiguration with Slytherin, lunch, free hour, and double Defense Against the Dark Arts with Ravenclaw. Wednesday was the same as Monday and Thursday the same as Tuesday. Then Friday, we had Charms with Ravenclaw, Potions with Hufflepuff, Herbology with Sytherin, Transfiguration with Ravenclaw, lunch, free hour, and finally Flying Lessons with Hufflepuff, which would later be replaced by History of Magic with Slytherin and Defense Against the Dark Arts with Ravenclaw.
I looked over at Rose and then Zach. No doubt those two already had it memorized.
I looked over at Paige, who was staring at her schedule in amazement. I saw her mouth the words "flying lessons" and I smiled.
Then James said, "Hey look! Will, Fred, Roxie, and I all have a free hour during half of your flying lessons! We can come and watch you guys!"
I saw Rose pale.
Great, I thought. Just what I needed. My brother and some cousins to watch me at flying lessons. Wasn't it enough that I had to eat with them? But I guess I didn't mind too much. They were family. And plus, I already knew I could fly. I did it all the time at the Burrow.
I finished my toast at the same time as Scorpius, and we walked back up to the common room together.
"Nice family you've got," he said to me.
"You haven't even seen half of them," I said with a smile.

A/N Alright, you met a few more cousins in that chapter! Fred, Roxie, and Will were all by JK Rowling though. But with Will, I wanted him to be James's best friend, but JK made a kid named Dominique, but didn't say if it was a boy or girl. So in my story it's a boy and his middle name is William, so everyone just calls him Will. Now Charlie, I made up. She is the daughter of Charlie and Christina. I wanted Charlie Weasley to have a wife, so I made Christina, and gave her a personality that I think he would have been attracted to. So, they have four kids, and Charlie, short for Charlotte, has a twin named Chris, short for Christopher, who is in Ravenclaw. They are the middle children and are in their fourth year. Charlie is a kind of girl that wants to prove that she can do anything. She is very girl power-like. She doesn't like when people judge her new cause she's a girl, or a Weasley, or anything. She wants to be like her dad when she grows up, working with dragons. Her best friend is Kendra Nite, who is also a fourth year Gryffindor. Charlie was also the first grandchild of Molly and Arthur to be sorted into Gryffindor. Second was James. Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please review! I love seeing your feedback!
