Albus and James were quiet as they walked through the woods following this man. The man, Albus realized looked just liked Salazar Slytherin. Albus's eyes grew wide as he looked at James who was looking down to the ground. Albus thought he saw tears in his eyes. "James?" Albus whispered. James looked at his brother.
"What?" he hissed. "Going to tell me that I don't care about your precious boyfriend," James muttered with poison in his voice. Albus rolled his eyes.
"No, I'm saying we are following Salazar Slytherin. We are in the time of the Founders," Albus said with a little bit of wonder in his voice. James rolled his eyes and pushed Albus.
"Oh yes, this must be wonderful for you," James said sarcastically but there were tears in his eyes. Albus pushed him back.
"No, I'm saying that we can get home now because we are with great wizards. Why do you care that I got the meet the founder of my school house? James, I want to get home and all you care about who sent us here," Albus said pushing his brother to the ground. The man stopped walking when he heard James land on the ground.
"Ow. What the hell Al? I want to get home more than you but all you care about is,"
"Oh, shut up James. I do as well but you are just so…..You're the one who caused this," Albus cut him off pulling out his wand. James stood up and pulled his out as well. "I had a date and you ruined it!"
"Oh, this again. I know you had a bloody date, Albus. Don't pull that one again. Shall we settle this?" James called back aiming his wand at Albus with Albus doing the same. The man looked at the boys and sighed.
"Enough! Both of you! I don't want to hear this right now," Slytherin called he put his head in his hands. Albus looked at James and lowered his wand but James did not.
"I'm telling dad when we get home that you tried to hex me," James said with a smirk. Albus rolled his eyes.
"James can we just find out how to get home and not fight right now?" Albus told his brother who sighed and lowered her wand.
"Fine," James muttered. Slytherin nodded as the three of them started to walk again.
James looked at Albus who was not spoken in a long time. James knew that he should say sorry, but he did not know how to do so. So, he stayed quiet and looked at Slytherin. 'Albus must feel well, happy to be with Slytherin.' James thought as he looked at Hogwarts. It looked the same to him, but he could not feel at aw at it. James smiled looking at Albus who also smiled but he did not look at James. James sighed and walked along side Slytherin who smiled at James.
"I know you're a wizards you know," he said looking at Albus who nodded.
"Yes, sir. We are, but we don't go back for another two mounts," Albus said with pride in his voice. James smiled when his brother said this, but he still felt bad about what had happened.
"Al?" James asked looking at his brother and reached out to him but Albus took off running to the school. James sighed and looked at Slytherin. "He needs to cool off. My brother has a little temper. He gets that from our father and maybe mum too," James told the older wizard with a sigh.
"Your not from this time are you?" Slytherin asked James who raised an eyebrow. James laughed nervously and nodded.
"How did you know?" James asked him but Slytherin did not say anything as he motioned James to follow. James nodded and slowly followed Slytherin with hopes that Albus can forgive him.
Albus ran though the doors with tears in his eyes. Albus felt bad for James, he's trying to help him, but he won't let him. Albus knew that he should let him, but he does not know if he can't bring himself to do so now. Albus was still running when he ran into someone. "I'm sorry sir," Albus said wiping away the hot tears from his eyes. The man looked at Albus making Albus gasp a little. Why he looked just like Godric Gryffindor. Albus's green eyes went wide but tears still fell down his face.
"Are you alright young one?" Gryffindor asked Albus who sighed but he did not say anything. "Young one?" he asked Albus again who started to cry again.
"I'm fine sir. Just mad at my brother. He got me stuck here and its all his fault and yet he says that its mine," Albus said with a harsh laugh. Gryffindor nodded.
"Well, did he mean too?" Gryffindor asked Albus who sighed but he did not say anything.
"No, I did not, Al, I'm sorry can we figure out together on how to get home so you can go on that date with your 'sweetheart.'" James said as he walked over to Albus with Slytherin behind him. Albus looked at James with tears in his eyes.
"You ruined my…" Albus said but James cut him off with a hug. "What are you doing Jamie?" Albus asked in his shoulder. James did not say anything as he just hugged Albus. Slytherin looked at Gryffindor who nodded to him.
"Can I ask your names?" Gryffindor asked as the brother's pulled apart. James looked at Albus and smiled when his brother wiped away the tears.
"You can go first Al," James said to his brother who nodded.
"Albus. Albus Severus Potter, I'm his younger brother," Albus said pointing to James who smiled and then looked at Gryffindor and Slytherin. However, he could not stop looking at Gryffindor. The founder of his house and the founder of Albus's house. Their family will never believe this.
"And you young one?" Gryffindor asked James who snapped out of his awe and nodded with Albus laughing at him.
James took a step forward and bowed. "James Sirius Potter sir. I'm his older brother and the oldest in my family sir," James told the two founders. "Can you help us, sir? I have by mistake sent me and my little brother back in time and now we don't know how to get back," James added looking at his brother who had tears in his eyes again. "And I have ruined my brother's date," James said with shame in his voice, and Albus heard it. "I'm sorry Al," James said to Albus who nodded but did not say anything. Soon the four of them fell quiet as they walked to the Great Hall.
