CHAPTER 9: ABERFORTH DUMBELDORE

It was a bright sunny day; though the students were still lying on their bed. It was Tuesday, due to the recent activities; the classes had been postponed by Professor McGonagall in on Monday morning.

Perhaps, it was Albus who was sad at the postponed classes, as he had missed a class with his most adventurous teacher; Professor Fairhat. He hadn't been more excited to have a class with Fairhat than meeting Sabrina and Natalia who had been his first female friends at Hogwarts.

Though, he was not fond of speaking with girls and being friends with them but the giggles of Sabrina made him sure that he was quite funny. Although, Houdini had quite easily suspected that there was some fling connection between Sabrina and Albus because he personally found Albus' jokes lame.

Within, the break of Monday, Albus, Scorpius, Houdini, Natalia and Sabrina had accompanied their way to the library where they used to study even before the classes had started. Other than that, they had also been to the grassy slopes near Hagrids cabin where they were laughing at each other's jokes.

The pale Sabrina did not look the same she was at the sorting. She looked quite cheered up, laughing and quite comfortable with his friends.

Though, Albus had been to the grassy slopes but he had yet not visited Hagrid. Furthermore, his cloak had been confiscated by Professor Fairhat, who had stated Albus that Molly must be an look that how Albus had vanished in Headmistress office, so he might end up getting his cloak lost.

The break was over and now it was sometime to pull up the socks and study.

"Calm down my arse". Scorpius shot out as he was sitting in comfortable bed with his messed up hair and disturbed look.

"Look Scorpius, its ok" Houdini replied as he tried to calm down angry Scorpius. "We can control this and it's easy" Houdini continued. "It's just history". Houdini continued but he was cut by Scorpius".

"Yes! Its bloody damn history of magic, don't you get it" Scorpius cut of Houdini and rose from his chair.

At the name of "History of magic", Albus had waked up.

"Calm down Scorpius" Albus said as he was rubbing his eyes, yet who did not know of what was the matter. "It's not added this year, chill" Albus continued as he rose up and now was standing.

"Dear Mr. Potter, go check the bulletin board" Scorpius replied sarcastically.

The last time he saw the bulletin board, he was frightened. He walked to the bulletin board and read.

New time table for first years

Friday- afternoon double transfiguration (Huffelpuff)

Evening history of magic (Gryffindor)

Saturday- afternoon double DADA (Ravenclaw)

Evening double herbology (Huffelpuff)

"This is not bad" Albus said as he passed his fingers over his hair.

"Excuse me?" Scorpius shot out.

"We have four classes with Huffelpuff" Albus replied with a grin.

"And the fun thing is that out of seven subjects we have four with them" he continued with a grin.

"Albus we have to give seven papers." Scorpius shot out in anger.

"Brother, read the note section perhaps" Albus replied.

Scorpius inched closer to the board and he saw

NOTE: Their will be no annual papers taken for history of magic and care for magical creatures. Furthermore the trap forest has been removed due to security. Other than that, in lieu of Monday holiday, the Monday classes will commence on Wednesday this weeks

"Oh, right" Scorpius muttered

"Yes, right" Albus replied.

"Now Mr. Potter, get dressed, we are hungry and then we have to head towards history of magic" Houdini said. "By the way who is the teacher?" Houdini asked in expectance of a reply.

"No, I don't know" Scorpius replied honestly.

"His name is some kind of Afterforth" Albus replied as he headed towards the room to change clothes.

"Well, let's see" Houdini replied.

Houdini and Scorpius waited for Albus to arrive. Albus had come down as he got dressed. They all headed towards the great hall. They entered the great hall and waved at Sabrina and Natalia who were sitting on the huffelpuff table, busy eating toast.

The three of them sat down and Professor McGonagall rose from his chair, she cleared his throat, seeked the attention and began "you must all know of the new timetables issued to you. Now, without taking your time. The teacher for history of magic is Aberforth Dumbledore with that the feast must begin" she concluded real quick and left the hall in a hurry.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Scorpius as McGonagall passed.

"Must be something" Albus replied honestly with an uncaring attitude.

"Okay guys, we have a class with Professor Aberforth and then we head towards the library and then we head towards the charms class with the Gryffindor" Houdini said.

"Ughh! Rose filthy faces again" Albus said as he threw his pastry on the plate.

"That's likely" Houdini and Scorpius said in unison.
