Albus found a compartment with Rose and sat down, staring out the window at the passing landscape. His cousin, perhaps noticing his reluctance to talk, buried herself in a book.
The compartment door slid open. Albus looked around in case it was James come to throw something and found himself staring at the pale face of Scorpius Malfoy.
"Hey," he said. "Do you mind if I sit here? Everywhere else is full."
For a moment Harry and Ron's stories of Scorpius's father slid through Albus's mind, but he quickly shook them off and smiled at the boy.
"Sure. Go ahead."
