Before you read chapter two of Albus's story I have three things to tell everyone, first is sorry it took a while to update. Another is I changed McGonagall as the Headmistress because Jk Rowling gave us some more info of after book 7 and the third thing is, here is the link about all of the stuff she said: http://today.msnbc. further ado:
Chapter two: The sorting.
Albus and Rose hurried into their compartment, Rose squealing with excitement. "I can't believe it!" She shrieked. Albus just looked up, looking extremely nervous. He returned to finding his black robes now, pulling them out and dragging them over himself. "I heard from Dad that Hagrid will meet us and help us across the lake! I thought he was getting too old but Mum said that was nonsense." Rose continued to chat excitedly. "Oh, I do hope I get in Ravenclaw, or at least Gryffindor."
"Rose!" snapped Albus. "Be quite!" then he looked up and saw her face fall. "Look, I'm sorry, just I know you're excited but I'm really nervous. Sorry for snapping at you." Albus said, pocketing his wand.
"No problem, hey Albus did you read Hogwarts, A History yet?" Rose looked questioningly at Albus. Albus shook his head and she sighed. "Dad and Uncle Harry never read it either." Rose said giggling, unfurling her collar.
They picked up their trunks and departed but a girl; Kat saw them and stopped them. "Guys, leave your trunks here." She said.
"K" Albus said, pushing it back into his compartment. The three of them joined by Zack Longbottom jumped off of the train and heard a gruff voice calling out to them.
"First Years!" exclaimed a man bigger then anyone had ever seen before. "O're ear!"
Albus and Rose approached him with smiles. "Hagrid." said Albus.
"Ello Albus, Rose." He said. "Are you ready ter cross the lake?" he asked.
"Um," Albus said.
"Whats the matter Albus?" asked Hagrid, bending down to look at Albus.
"He's just worried he won't be in Gryffindor." Rose said, nodding.
"Don't you worry about that Albus." Hagrid said. Looking up he gave another "FIRST YEARS" call then lead everyone to the lake.
"Whoa" Albus head one say. "Yeah, its huge!" another agreed. Then, "Did you know Harry Potter swam in this lake when he was fourteen?" "Whoa, really?"
"Ok, first years." Hagrid said. "Four ter a boat, don't reach down and touch the lake. Mind you, the squid loves pulling people down so you'd want ter be extra careful." Hagrid went over to the lake and sat in a boat. He took up one completely by himself but he didn't seem to mind at all.
The boats were quite big, defiantly big enough for four people, and there was a lantern attached to it. Albus climbed in with Rose followed by Kat and Zoey. They started getting pulled across the lake. Albus heard everyone ooh and aah. He turned to Rose. "What ever happened to McGonagall?" he asked her.
"Well, she got a bit old, didn't she?" Rose said, not really stating a question. "Oh look Albus!" she screamed. He turned back around and saw an enormous castle. "Whoa," he said.
They arrived at the boathouse and made the extremely long climb up to the castle. By the time they reached the entrance hall every student was sweating and wiping their brows or fanning themselves. Hagrid silently slipped away.
Zoey poked Albus on the back. "Hey, what does your dad do again?" Albus sighed. James warned him about this.
"He's the head of the Auror department." Said Albus. "He works with Uncle Ron." He indicated to Rose. "What about you're Mum? We know your dad teaches."
"Well, she goes off on expeditions mostly but sometimes she just goes and visits old Granddad." She said. "But yeah, she's mostly a Wizard Naturalist."
Albus thought that rather funny but did not comment. Just then a tall boy clad in black robes with square rimmed glasses perched perfectly on his nose came out of two huge doors. "Everyone please wait until you name is called then you will enter the great hall and sit on the three legged stool, the sorting hat will be placed upon your head and you will go sit on the table where you are designated." Just then a shrill call shouted.
"Percy, we're ready!"
"Right, good luck everyone." He said. Albus knew Percy. He inched himself over to him. "Oh, good evening Albus." Percy said.
"Hi, Percy what are you doing, do you work here?" Albus asked.
"Well, when old Filch passed away they needed somebody and I no longer work for the Ministry so I decided to take his job." Percy said, sounding more important then he was.
Someone called down the list. So far "Levin, Kat!" had been sorted into Gryffindor. "Lovegood, Zack!" Gryffindor. "Lovegood, Zoey!" Hufflepuff.
When they got down to Scorpius Malfoy the sorting hat was quite for a long time. Finally the voice rang out: "Gryffindor!" Albus felt his insides squirm. So Scorpius would be with him. But his family had been in Slytherin forever. Maybe he was the Sirius Black of this age, sorted into Gryffindor unlike the rest of his family.
After "Pelpoloy, Derek" got sorted into Slytherin it was Albus's turn. He walked through the gigantic double doors and saw four rows of tables each full of kids. Then he saw the teacher table.
Hagrid was at one end, chatting silently with Neville. Flitwick, Trelawney, and such until he laid eyes on the headmaster. He was quite young, with a balding head. He looked stern and aloof at the same time.
Albus continued to move, keeping his head down. He sat down, shaking, then someone placed the hat over his head which fell down to his neck.
"Another Potter, eh?" The hat said, and Albus jumped. "I see everything inside your mind; I know where to put you." Albus held in his breath. "GRYFFINDOR!" the hat shouted to everyone. The hat was yanked off of Albus's head and he looked up to see the Headmaster who pulled it off, smile down at Albus. He got up, still shaky, and sat down next to Kat. Sitting directly in front of him was Scorpius Malfoy. Albus looked away quickly.
When it was Rose's time to be sorted, Albus broke conversation with Kat and looked up to see the nervous girl he grew up best friends with sit on the stool. Just then, after three minutes, the hat screamed: "Ravenclaw!" Flinnigean stepped up from his seat and clapped once everyone was sorted.
Albus got to see him more clearly now, his balding hair was grey and he wasn't that wrinkled but he was old. Albus guessed 70. "Now that all of our pupils are sorted into their houses I would like to welcome everybody." He grinned across at everyone. "I'd like to say hello to al of the first years and welcome back to the rest. I'll talk some more later but for now, tuck in." he clapped and the plates in front of everyone filled up with all sorts of food.
Albus felt alone, he had Kat who was a nice girl but too much of a girly girl. Zack Lovegood wasn't bad but he was rather quite. Rose was in Ravenclaw, which made Albus feel slightly alone.
"Potter." Scorpius suddenly spoke, some time into the feast. Albus looked up. "Tell your brother I said sorry."
"Why'd you even say it?" Albus demanded.
"Well, my father told me- it doesn't matter but I'm not really that much like my father, no matter how much I look like him."
Albus nodded. "Sure." He said. Just then Flinnigean stood up again.
"Mr. Weasley will be supervising the halls and he will confiscate anything from his brothers shop." Flinnigean found this extremely funny and laughed to himself. "And any questions can be addressed to him and his office here on the ground floor. Tomorrow your heads of houses will pass out your schedules. Quiditch questions can be aimed at the captains and tryouts will be held respectively with each captain.
"I really do hope everyone has a good year." Flinnigean said. "Follow your prefects back to your common rooms." He nodded. "Good night."
Albus and Kat stood up. "Who is the prefect?" asked Albus, feeling blundered.
"I think it's him." Kat pointed at a tall boy with a bad case of acne. Sure enough, they heard the boy say "First years, this way."
They followed him up the grand staircase (which Albus knew quite well due to the fact that on at least two occasions he and his dad visited Hogwarts to see Neville) and to the fat lady in a pink dress.
"Password?" she questioned.
"Mimbletum." The prefect said.
Once inside (Albus knew what this looked like as well) he pointed the first years to their dormitories.
Albus shared a dormitory with Scorpius and Zack and two other boys named Barry and Sean. Too tired to speak the five of them fell into their beds.
Albus fell asleep almost instantly but he had an interesting dream. First he was in a clean area at he saw the face of Albus Dumbledore and heard a scary sound behind him. He turned around and saw a white baby, but it looked evil. Then he was dashing through the woods near Hogwarts and he found himself in a clearing, then he saw a very white, snakefaced man and a stone, a ring, drop and be buried in leaves.
Over 500 miles away Harry Potter was experiencing the same dreams.
