Authors Note: Here's my other chapter today, seeing as im not sure the next time i'll be able to post, may be tommorrow, may be next week, im not sure so ENJOY!
Getting to King's Cross was frantic that year. All the kids had to get up at 7 A.M when they where all use to getting up at 10 and 1. As for the adults they got up around 6. The kids had all packed the day before, and twice Lily and Hugo tried to talk there cousins into letting them magically hide in there bags. But no one let them. Once every kid was up then they all got showers and breakfast. By the time they where all done then it was 10 A.M. Once again the kids where flying but this time with Teddy, Victoire, Harry, Ginny, and Ron. They where partners with the same people as going into Diagon Alley. The rest of the adults where driving, because someone had to carry all the luggage. Once they finally got to King's Cross it was 40 minutes later. 10:40. They all ran into platform 9 3/4. Lily made a mad dash to the train but Harry grabbed her around the waist when he saw that she was running. Albus gave Lily a kiss then hugged his parents and waved o the rest of his family then headed for the train. The train took off 20 minutes later and Albus had just started to try and find a compartment, he had been talking to his roommate James Boot. Rose saw Albus and ran up to him.
"Al, there's an empty compartment right up here. Come on!"
"Thanks," Albus walked in and put his luggage and Snowy down.
"Can you believe it Al? Our Second Year?"
"Nope. I remember being worried about what house I was gonna be in."
"Me too." The door slide open.
"Hey guys, can I sit with you Lysander ditched me?" Lorcan stepped in.
"Sure Lor, sit down." Albus and Rose said in unison.
"Wait, you said Lysander ditched you?" Albus just realized what Lorcan said.
"Yeah, we where looking for a compartment, I looked away for a second and when I turned around he was running towards someone. I couldn't tell who though." Lorcan answered settling down in a seat.
"I'll remember to tell that to Aunt Luna when I write home." Albus said making a mental note. The three of them started to talk about Quidditch.
"The Ireland's did pretty good this year; I hope they make it to the Quidditch world cup this year." Albus said. He didn't get to see the game but Ginny told him about it, it happened during the time he was mad at his dad.
"Yes they did do well." Albus' and Scorpius' best friend Marissa Smith. Albus had always thought she looked beautiful. She was about 4' 8", had waist-length light brown hair, and sky blue eyes that twinkled.
"Hi Marissa." Albus said hugging her.
"Hi Al, here I was told to give this to you" Marissa handed Albus a tiny sheet of paper. "I'll see you at Hogwarts Al" She said then left. Rose just glared at Marissa, and when Marissa left Albus swore he saw Marissa give Rose the death stare.
"What does the parchment say Al?" Asked Lorcan. Albus opened up the parchment and read.
Dear Albus,
Please come to compartment B,
At noon. Come alone.
Thanks: James.
"Why would James write a letter? He had just said that he didn't want to see any of us until Hogwarts, unless it was an emergency." Lorcan said, remembering what James had said to all his cousins while they where flying, but out of the adults ear-shot.
"I know Lorcan, but this isn't from James" Albus said tracing the letters, James writes just like Albus and Harry. This was more of a neater handwriting.
"How can you tell Al?" Rose asked looking over his shoulder at the note.
"Because, he writes like me and dad, this is neater, almost like…" No it wasn't possible. It couldn't be. He and Albus are mad at each other.
"Like who's?"
"Nobody's Rose" Albus pushed that thought aside.
"So," Rose said getting ready to change the subject. Albus was to egger to see who wrote the note. Noon was in a few minutes, he was gonna go. Albus stood up, but Rose grabbed his arm. "Where do you think your going?"
"To compartment B of course."
"NO YOU CAN'T! IT'S ALMOST A 100% A TRAP!"
"Almost, you're not sure"
"ALBUS IM PRETTY SURE! PLEASE DON'T GO!"
"I have to; I won't know if it's a trap if I don't go now will I?"
"ALBUS! WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW?"
"I have to know" Rose let him go,
"Fine get yourself killed, me and Lorcan don't care." Lorcan looked horrified to be a part of this conversation but didn't say anything; he found his cousin a little intimidating. Albus didn't want his cousins to hate him for leaving, he knew that was Roses way of making sure he didn't go, by making him feel bad, but he just had to go. Albus stepped out of the door. It didn't take Albus long to clarify that the note wasn't from James, because he was sitting in a compartment with his friends and Fred II, it looked like they where laughing at a joke he just told. Albus put his head down hoping that James wouldn't see him, but he did. He came out of the compartment.
"What's wrong Albus?" Albus was just gonna refuse to talk or look at James. "Are you ok?" James was caring for Albus for once. Weird. "Al?" Albus could tell James had just spotted the note. James' hand reached for it, Albus tried to hide it but James' seeker skills where to fast. He grabbed it and it only took him three seconds before saying "I didn't write this Al." Albus was far to egger to hit his brother over the head, hopefully to knock some common since into him, and yell 'NO DUH!' but Albus didn't, he just looked at the ground. Albus snatched the note and turned on his heels to walk away. He looked back up, and of course, James had jumped in front of him.
"Where do you think your going?"
"Grimmauld's Place. WHERE DO YOU THINK! COMPARTMENT B!"
"NO YOUR NOT, IM NOT GONNA LET YOU GET KILLED!" Wow, this was the most James had cared about him since, well, ever.
"OR! IT MIGHT BE A SECRET MEETING WITH MY FRIENDS!"
"BUT ITS NOT! I COMMAND YOU NOT TO GO!"
"YOU COMMAND ME! YOU SERIOUSLY DIDN'T JUST 'COMMAND ME'?"
"Now people! If you want to yell at each other at least get your own compartment!" Molly 'The Prefect' Weasley just walked up from behind Albus. James tried to grab Albus but Albus got around him and quickly found compartment B. It was pitch black in there. For some reason Albus slide the door open. He knew as soon as he walked in Rose was right. It was a trap.
"Well, well, well, look who decided to show up?"
