Chapter two: Diagon Ally

Albus woke up with a big smile on his face. Today was the day his family was going to Diagon Ally to get the school supplies for Hogwarts!

He looked at his clock, which read eight o' clock in the morning. Albus walked downstairs to the kitchen and saw James' owl, Boo. The thing was a brown owl that James named Boo because one; James loved to sneak up on people and scare them and two; because when James went to get an owl, Boo flew right onto his shoulder and scared James half to death.

There was also the family's owl, April. April was a tawny owl. They had named her April because she was born on the first of that month.

"Good morning, Al," He heard his dad say behind him.

"Morning, dad." Albus replied, smiling.

Albus couldn't wait to go to Diagon Ally. As excited as he was to go to Hogwarts, he had to wait until eleven o' clock to go, since James slept until ten thirty and by the time everyboy was ready it was eleven.

Once at Diagon Ally, the family decided to purchase the books first. Quite frankly, Albus really didn't care much about all of that. What he cared about was getting his wand. While they were there, they ran into Rose Weasley and her parents.

"Hey, Al!" Rose chirped happily.

"Hi, Rose," Albus replied. The two were very close since they had grown up together and always talked about going to Hogwarts together.

"So, where you headed?" Albus asked her.

"Oh, I'm headed to get my books," she told him, "What about you?"

"I'm going to get my wand." Albus replied proudly.

"Lucky!" Rose pouted. The two laughed. "Well, I'd better go. See you later, Al." She said.

"Alright. Bye, Rosie," He said. She smiled and then turned and ran back to her parents, Ron and Hermione, two of Albus' father's closest friends. And also Albus' aunt and uncle.

Albus and his family finally headed over to Ollivander's, which was now owned by Luna Scamandor. She worked there over the summer but traveled around with her husband over the school year. They often brought their two sons, Lorcan and Lysander.

Albus walked into Ollivander's to be greeted by Luna. "Hello, Albus."

"Hi, Luna," Albus beamed.

"Al!" Lorcan and Lysander cried. Those two were always together, joined at the hip. They had blond hair and grey eyes like their mum. However, Lorcan was a couple inches taller than Lysander, which was the only noticable difference between the two.

"Hey, you two." Albus said to the twins.

Luna started going through wands until she pulled one out and handed it to Albus. "Ash wood, elevn inches, phoenix feather core," She announced.

Albus tried out the wand but it didn't work for him. However, it did work in shooting a hole through the wall.

Luna simply laughed it off and grabbed another wand, then handed it to Albus."This one is mahogany, nine and a half inches, with thesteral tail hair,"

This wand didn't work either. The two had gone through many more wands, when Albus finally found the right one.

"Here. Willow, ten inches, unicorn hair." Luna said patiently as she handed the wand to Albus. As soon as the wand was in Albus' hand he felt a connection. He waved his wand and blue sparks flew out of the tip. Albus was overjoyed that he finally had a wand and was going to go to Hogwarts soon.

"Yo, little bro!" He heard James yell behind him. Albus looked over his shoulder and saw James running up to him. "I see you finally got a wand, you squib," James said, "It's too bad you don't know how to use it."

James held up his own wand. His was ash, eleven and a half inches, with a dragon heartstring core.

Harry walked up to Albus and James. "Hey, Al, you want to go get a pet now?"

Albus nodded so hard he was afraid his head would fall of.

When they got to the pet store, Albus roamed the shelves looking for a pet. Finally he noticed a barn owl. He noticed that the owl had abnormal blue eyes. "I like this one," Albus told his dad

"Good choice! I love her eyes. What're you going to name her?" Harry asked him.

Albus looked into her eyes and knew what he was going to name her. "Blue." He told Harry.

"That's a nice name," Harry teased, "Very creative."

Harry payed for Blue and they left. Instead of leaving like they planned to, James had somehow talked their parents into going to Weasley Wizard Wheezes, or Triple W for short.

Albus walked into the store followed by James, who ran to their cousin, Fred Weasley. James and Fred were the best of friends and would often hang out with Louis, who was a a year older than both of them where Louis was fourteen and James and Fred were both thirteen.

James and Fred try to say that they are fraternal twins. They may have been the same age, but they look nothing alike. That's why they say fraternal twins. James had, of course, brown hair and brown eyes with a stocky build while Fred had red hair (altough it used to be black, but he bewitched in their first year so it would become red). Fred also had brown eyes and a more stocky build, which was the only two things he and James had in common.

Well, that and also their love of pranks.

"Don't you just love Uncle George's shop?" Lily asked Albus.

"Yeah!" Albus agreed.

Albus walked to the rigged Jack-in-the-boxes, which would spray water on whoever opened it's face. "Hey, Al!" James yelled.

"Yeah?" Albus replied.

"Come here! I want to show you something!" James said and started running. Albus tried to run after him, but instead fell flat on his face. Albus then realized that James had put a knee knocker on him.

"Really?" Albus said, not amused.

"Yeah, really," James replied with a giant grin on his face.

"That's why I always liked you James. You always mess with your little brother the way I did when I was a kid," Their uncle, George Weasley said as he walked up to them. "Well, I still do, but I'm happy you do as well." He said as he bent down and peeled the knee knocker off of Albus.

Louis, their cousin, came up and high fived James while he laughed.

Louis looked a lot like his father, Bill Weasley, and had red hair and glasses over his blue eyes.

"Come on, you two. It's getting late, so we're heading home." Harry told his sons.

When they got home it was around six o' clock, so they had dinner then all went to their respective rooms.

Albus lay in bed, holding his wand. After awhile he put his wand away and closed his eyes. Pretty soon he was sound asleep.

Albus had a bad dream that night. He was in the Great Hall at Hogwarts, waiting to be sorted.

"Potter, Albus!"

Albus walked to the stool with everyone staring at him and put the hat on.

"Hm," The hat mused, "A Potter? Named after a former Hogwarts headmaster? I remember your father. A brave young Gryffindor. Let us see if you'll follow in his footsteps. Hm. I see. Well, Albus, it looks like the house you belong to is..." The Sorting Hat said as Albus waited in suspense for the hat's reply. "SLYTHERIN!" The hat screamed.

The entire Great Hall burst into laughter and pointed and jeered at Albus as he shamefully walked over to the Slytherin table.

"No!" Albus screamed as he woke with a start.

Over the years, Albus had developed another fear instead of being a squib. Albus Potter, thanks to his cursed brother James and his constant teasing, had a fear of being sorted into Slytherin House.
