こんにちわ、みんあさん。わたしはのにべんごSFUだいがくてべんきょおします。

Yeah, show off. Let me hear read the hate caused by your jealousy. Bwahaha! Ok, so here's chapter two of my own HP continuation. It's rather depressing I haven't gotten any reviews yet but hopefully soon. R&R please.

************************************************************************************

Hours had passed since Albus first boarded the train and now he, Thomas and Lenore, were almost waist deep in candy and goods that they had purchased off the trolly cart that had stopped by their cabin. To Lenore and Albus, this was a common thing to have candy leap at them and wither about between their fingers. Thomas though, he had a few experiences with Chocolate frogs and fizzy poppers but nothing to this extent. Biting off the head off a Skufferie Stretch Snake, a gummy kind of candy that stretches to nearly five feet long, Lenore looked up at Thomas, "So you're muggle born?" Thomas darted across his seat to grab his runaway frog. The chocolate creature struggled the best it could before Thomas bit off its legs. "Yeah,. I never could understand what Albus was talking about when he mentioned moving candy until he actually brought some to the house in the forest. Scared the gibbs outta me. What about you? Are your parents muggles or magic?"

"My father's a Wizard and my mother's a Witch. Though, my aunt and uncle on my father's side are muggles. So really I'm mix of both," she answered politely as she rolled the snake into a ball and taking bites out of the sphere.

The door slid open and a young boy popped his head in. He smiled at Albus warmly and the colour of his hair changed to match his expression, "We should be arriving at Hogwarts any time, Albus.""Thanks Teddy," he smiled and offered him a box of Bertty Botts Beans. The boy raised his hand and shook his head, "No thanks. I never liked those. Especially because you can never tell which colour is going to be what flavour. " "I know what you mean," Thomas spoke up and shivered. He was one of the unfortunate ones who had gotten a vomit flavoured bean on his first try.

"Ah," Teddy looked out the window and pointed at a dark castle figure in the distance, "There is it. Your new home." The three first years leaned up against the window and let small noises of awe escape their lips. Hogwarts castle, the very school their parents, with the exception of Thomas, had attended. None other than Albus was the most excited about it. This school was the place that helped his father become a powerful Auror and a wicked Quidditch player. But most of all, this was the place of his name sake. From what his father told him, he was named after two people who had once worked there and died all for his father's sake. Ever since he was told that, Albus had been very proud of his names and always wanted to walk through the halls they had once walked themselves. A loud whistle broke their moments of amazement, announcing that the train was to stop soon.

The train was still as the students loaded themselves off the train. It was easy to tell the first years apart from the other students for they were usually the most excited students on the platform. Albus hopped off before Thomas and Lenore. As he waited for them, he looked out and saw some very familiar faces. The boy from earlier, with the mood changing hair, had hopped off with his girlfriend, Victoria. She was as beautiful as an angel, or at least what he thought and angel would look like. In the distance, the mischievous and nearly identical bodies of Fred and Jar, stood around innocently but surely up to no good. James was still with his second year friends, chatting away. If it had not been for Thomas and Lenore, he would have felt completely left out and forgotten. Just as Tom and Lenore made it to Albus' side, a bellowing voice roared across the platform. "First years," the deep voice bellowed. "First years over 'ere!"

"Hagrid!" Albus smiled, his eyes lighting up like identical jewels. "My god, would you look at him," Thomas gasped at the emissive size of the man who seemed to tower over everything standing around him and taking up three times the space. "Is he like, a special needs person or a Wildman with his hair all like that?""You haven't met Hagrid before Tom," Albus turned to him. "Dad, Mom, James, Lily and I would go to his hut on occasion and play. Mostly in the summer because there's never enough room for all of us. Come on I'll introduce you to him!" Albus grabbed Tom's hand and walked up a bit before looking back at Lenore who hadn't moved an inch.

"Lenore," Albus looked at her confused, "are you coming?"She smiled and shook her head with the same drowsy eyed look, "I'll be there in a moment, I just want to find Miss Perkins.""Miss Perkins?""She's the animal I brought. It said we could bring an animal. Go on without me. I'll be there as soon as I find her.``

Shrugging his shoulders, Albus returned to leading Thomas over to Hagrid when another diversion interfered. `

"Well isn't that a sight to behold?" A snarled voice came out of the crowd. Its possessor walked through the crowd and in front of Albus. His cold ice blue eyes looked down at the two with a disgusted grin on his face. His dirty blonde hair was sleeked back with enough grease to fry a chicken but made his eyes stand out even more. With him, two other boys who were nearly twice his size stood side by side. One was built like an ox with face to match while other was long and slim with a slender face much like a weasel's. "Not only have Wesley's bred more but now they're uglier than ever!"

The boy spat his venom and snickered while his two goons laughed along. Angry, Albus and looked at the boy and let go of Thomas` hand. "Who do you think you are to insult my family like that!" He screamed at the blonde.

"And dumb too," the boy remarked. "I'm surprise you don't know who I am. I'm Scorpious Malfoy and until you graduate, I'm going to make your life a living hell."

"Why single me out of everyone else here? There's plenty of other students you can pick on so get out of my face and leave us alone," Albus was getting tired of this kid and wanted no more than to send him on his way. Scorpious inched closer, looking at Albus`freckled face with pure disgust before answering, "Call it a family tradition. " Looking over to Thomas, Scorpious pulled back and raised his eyebrow at the darker youth, "And who is this? You're BOYFRIEND?!" Thomas glared at Malfoy. Both boys were clenching their own fists to resist the urge to punch him. "My goodness, it's bad enough they let muggle born scum in here but gay ones too? Might as well colour the castle pink and made us wear dresses rather than robes!"

Thomas lunged at the boy, tackling him to the ground. A bunch of students stopped to watch the two boys struggle and fight each other until Hagrid made his way over there and broke the fight up."Come now! Come now! Dis ain`t no way to start the first year! Now break it up you two," he commanded and lifted both boys by the back of their shirts. Thomas panted and continued to glare at Malfoy, who was wiping the side of his face with the sleeve of his robe. "You'll pay for that," the blond shouted kicked in the air about, demanding to be put down or else he contact his father about the mistreatment of students by oversized half-breeds. Hagrid pulled the boy closer, looking at him straight in the eye, "You might want to behave or else you`re gonna get grounds duty for the rest of your school life. Ya `ear me?" Scorpious nodded and with that both boys were gently lowered back onto the ground. Hagrid looked down at Albus and smiled at him, "Ah, good to see you `ere, Albus! I hope you`re just as excited about your first year as your father was."

Albus shook his head enthusiastically before turning to Thomas, "Sorry about Tom's behaviour but that Malfoy was asking for it." Hagrid shrugged his shoulders and waved the incident aside, "Them Malloy's always cause a bit `o trouble or two." The giant looked back down to Thomas, who looked back at him. Silence fell over them as Hagrid leaned in to take a closer look of Thomas. Wide eyed and surprised, Thomas leaned back, the closer the large man came in. "You look awfully familiar," Hagrid whispered, stroking his bushy beard. "Are you related to the Trisberns by any chance?" Thomas shook his head. "The Cotsvires then?" Once more Thomas shook his head.

"Huh, I could have sworn I've seen someone who looked like you at this age." He grew silent for a moment but that was quickly shattered by his booming voice, "Never mind! First years! Follow me!"

As they started to move, Lenore ran up to them. "I couldn't find Miss Perkins," she said in a worried voice. "It's ok," Albus turned to her, "the crew probably already sent her up to the school with the rest of our luggage."

The sun had set by the time they had reached the pond and the shore was lit up with the lights of a hundred lamps at the front of a hundred boats. "Three students per boat," Hagrid commanded and aided any students who needed a hand getting in. Once three were in a boat, the giant sized man pushed them into the water and by some sort of magic, sent them across the water towards the school. Albus, Tom and Lenore set sail and looked up at the sight of the massive castle ahead of them, with every window light up by what appeared to be firelight. Against the night sky, the castle appeared to be a darker patch of sky with its own series of stars. Hagrid`s boat was the fastest of all them and was not leading the students despite the fact he was the last to board a vessel. Behind them, the three of them heard snickering and turned around to see what was making the noise. To Albus` disappointment, Scorpious and his goons were directly behind them and were shooting dirty looks at the trio as they jeered and made rather nasty comments to each other before giggling about what was just said. Thomas glared at Malloy's figure and Albus tapped him on the shoulder lightly. "Just forget about them. They're not worth our time." Turning their attention back on the castle Thomas let out a yelp which was followed by a loud splash. Lenore and Albus turned to find that Thomas was no longer in the boat with them and loud laughter was coming from Malloy's boat. Albus turned around to find Scorpious with his hand in hand and raising it high triumphantly. " You best go in and save your boyfriend! I hear there's mermaids in there and they can be rather nasty creatures. You two should actually fit in perfectly!" Acting upon anger, Albus pulled out his wand to hit Malfoy with some sort of spell with Lenore tugged at his sleeve. "Albus look!" she exclaimed and pointed out into the water where Thomas was splashing about on the surface. Thomas was behind them a few feet and splashing about madly. He had never been a strong swimmer but worse than that his arms was numb from the spell attack. "Hold on!" Albus shouted and leapt off the boat, diving straight into the water. He broke the surface and shook the water out of eyes before swimming towards Thomas. A third splash was heard and Lenore soon followed. Now empty, the boat stood still in the water. Reaching over, Albus grabbed Tom's shirt and waited for Lenore to reach them. She grabbed the other, together holding Tom's head and shoulders over the water to he could breathe. "Are you ok?" Lenore asked calmly when Albus interrupted her. "That git was trying to kill you!"

Thomas shook his head and answered, "I'm fine. My arm's just gone numb." Slowly, the three of them waddled back towards the boat when something caught the corner of Lenore's eye. "Did you guys see that?"

"See what`?"

"There!" She screamed and pointed out to Albus` left. He turned but saw nothing there.

"What did you see, Lenore?"

"I don't know. They looked like eyes."`

"Eyes?" Thomas looked about curiously, "why would you see eyes unless they were the reflection of stars."

"No, I swear I saw eyes!"

"Wait," Albus grew silent as a strange crackling sound began to grow, "do you hear that?"

"What is that?" Now Thomas was turning his head more than ever to see if he could make out what was creating the sounds.

"Didn't…" Albus whispered, "didn't`Malfoy said there were Mermaids in these water?"

"That's insane, why would mermaids want to attack-"

Suddenly a strong jerk pulled Thomas under the water, nearly making his slip out of their grasp. Lenore screamed his name as Albus` heart sank with fear but as soon as it happened, Thomas` broke surface and gasped for breath. "What was that!?"`

"Let's hurry out of the water before this gets serious!" Lenore exclaimed and they swam towards the boat as fast as possible.

Once inside, they gasped with exaughstion, dripping wet and cold.

"When I first get the chance, I'll humiliate the git," Thomas panted and ran a hand through his soaking wet hair. "Let's forget about that now," Albus looked up and took a deep breath. "We best catch up with the rest of the group or we'll miss everything and won't get sorted into our houses." The boat had begun to move once more on its own and headed towards the shoreline where all the other boats were lined up with not a soul remaining.
