Albus has a friend
Harry, Ginny and Lily waited on the train station. With a puff of white smoke and roar of an engine the great scarlet express pulled in to the station 9 ¾ . Lily squealed with excitement, and quietly imagined herself on the historic train.
It was the end of Albus' first term at the legendary school for witchcraft and wizardry. James (the eldest son) had just entered in to his second year. If Ginny was truthful with herself she was more worried about Albus than she had been with James,
James could settle in anywhere, his loud personality and natural charisma made it easy for him to make friends. Albus however was the more shy and silent. He was more reserved about who he made friends with, but then was extremely loyal. She also felt that Albus had a sense of proving himself, living up to his brother and father.
Eventually James wandered over after saying goodbye to his group of friends. They were just waiting for Albus.
"Where is he?" whined Lily, who was being lifted up by James, her legs wrapped round his torso.
"I saw him on the train, he's probably talking to his friends…" proposed James.
After a few minutes, a dark haired, bespectacled boy walked over. He looked just like his father had done at that age, the same wiry frame and emerald eyes. He was walking with another boy. However this boy was extremely pale with white blonde hair, but with an easy smile as he talked to Albus animatedly.
"Mum, Dad this is Scorpius Malfoy, he's in Griffindor with me…" Albus introduced.
Harry and Ginny looked quite surprised but trusted there sons judgement enough not to let there old prejudices influence there impression of the young boy. Lily had gone rather red in the cheeks and had burrowed her face in James shoulder.
"Mr Potter, Mrs Potter it's really nice to meet you." Scorpius smiled.
"Pleasure is all ours; do call us Harry and Ginny though!" Harry smiled back,
"Yes dear, it's so nice you and Albus are friends, do feel free to come round to our house in the holidays, you would be more than welcome…" urged Ginny.
"And your parents, there free to come as well." Offered Harry.
Scorpius sighed a breath of relief, and then smiling at them again, told them,
"In fact I should find them. They will want to know where I am…"
"Bye, see you soon Scorp!" the youngest Potter boy said while hugging his friend.
The Potters watched as he dashed off, before turning around and leaving the station.
"He seemed like a very nice boy…" Ginny commented.
