Albus Potter was released from Azkaban after three years, now he was twenty one, slimmer, and paler. To the young man, his confinement felt like a lifetime even though it was not. It gave him time to think things out. It made him rethink of his past business, and he realized that he either should have been smarter or just should not have done it all together. He probably would have done it either way because it was rather profitable in his mind. The down side was that he got caught in the end. In Azkaban Albus noticed that he sometimes got visits from his family and friends but that was only during Christmas and his birthday, other than those two days, he hardly saw anyone apart from the other inmates and the guards. The rare families visits gave him the belief that his family was still shaken by his actions, making him realize that using dark magic was not really a good idea on his behalf. At least not the way that he used it in his business.

Albus walked along the street of Diagon Alley with his father Harry Potter at his side. Harry was there to accompany Albus to buy him another wand. Harry also had to tell his son another set of news, and Harry wondered how he would tell his son.

"You did not have to accompany me to Olevanders dad." Albus said, "I am pretty sure I can buy my own wand."

"I know Albus but I wanted to, even though you have to pay for it yourself." Harry said, seeing the pouch of money that Albus had in his hand. Where Albus retrieved money from his vault at the Wizard bank not too long ago. Up ahead, Albus spotted the old wand makers shop where he purchased his first wand when he was eleven years old. Albus walked inside the shop, where book shelves stood behind the main desk. Harry stayed outside, standing near the window, looking in the shop.

"Hello?" Albus said at the desk, and an old man appeared. The old man was white haird with frizz and wearing a long black robe.

"Mr. Albus Potter, it has been a while since I have seen you in my store, too short years to have any eleven year old child and Hogwarts already started, but I figure you are here to purchase a new wand when your previous wand was snapped, am I correct?" Olevander said to the young man, who simply nodded in agreement.

"Yes Mr. Olevander, I need a new wand," Albus said.

"very well, your wand hand please," Olevander said as Albus showed his right hand. The old wand maker measured Albus's arm from hand to shoulder and he walked to a shelf and came back with three boxes.

"Here we go," he said taking the first wand out, "Unicorn hair and chestnut wood, eleven inches." Albus took the wand in his hand and immediately a shower of sparks flew out of the tip.

"No, no, deffineatly not the wand for you my dear boy," Olevander said. Albus put the wand down

"I agree with you there," Albus said as Olevander took out the next wand from a box.

"Twelve inch dragon heartstring" Olevander said to Albus. Albus took the wand, and flicked it lightly as a lamp exploded behind the old wand maker.

"Need I say more with this wand?" He asked Albus as the young man set the wand as far away from him as he could.

"Eleven and a half inch Pheonix tail feather" and Albus took the wand lightly and it fit in his hand just right, and as he held the wand, a blue light appeared at the tip and glowed bright.

"I think we found your replacement wand Mr. Potter." Olevander said. Albus paid the wand maker and walked out of the shop, his wand was in his pocket.

"Well Albus looks like your citizenship is almost restored," Harry said.

"Almost?" Albus asked, "I think you mean fully restored dad. Besides the fact that I am going to live with my parents for a while."

"Actually son, you're not going to live with your mother and I," Harry said hesitantly, Albus looked at Harry, who did not meet Albus' eyes.

"What do you mean?" Albus asked looking at his dad.

"I mean that your mother and I are not going to let you stay at our house, we do not mind helping you find a place. It is just that it we do not think it is a good idea." Harry said. Albus looked at Harry, he felt confused now that his parents were not going to let him stay at their house. "I am sure James or even Lilly will let you stay with them for a while."

"I am son dad, I spent three long years in a cell in Azkaban with very little light from the outside and you tell me that you and mum will not even let me stay one night at home?" Albus said, his heart was racing in his chest now. He stared at his father, who was now looking at him straight in the eye. Harry expected this reaction from Albus, and so did Ginny. Which was exactly why she did not come, Harry did not like it either but he figured it will sound better coming from him.

"I know it is hard for you to understand son, but believe me when I tell you that it is not easy on us either," Harry said.

"I can't believe that you and mum are actually doing this." Albus said, "Where else am I supposed to go? You said my flat was sold to someone else two years ago."

"I am sure your brother and sister will help you out, at least one of them will I am sure." Harry said. "At least let me take you to them."

Albus looked at his dad whose emerald eyes sparkled, and Albus had knew that his dad right about his brother and sister. That at least one of them will let him live with them for a while.

"Ok fine, go ahead and take me to them," Albus said, as he took hold to Harrys arm and Albus heard a POP and felt tugging and he felt like he was moving through open air, but a tight feeling at the same time. He opened his eyes and Albus saw his brother's house infront of him. James lived in a house near their parents, a small community thirty minutes from Harry and Ginny.

Harry walked up to the front door of James's house and knocked on the door. Albus looked at the house, seeing it made of a grey brick and had one floor with two windows and a garage in the front.

James Potter opened the door and saw his father Harry Potter outside the door.

"Hey dad" James said as he shook his father's hand with a smile, then his gaze hit his brother Albus. The same brother who used dark magic and sold dark magical items to muggles, knowing fully well what he was doing.

"Albus," James with a nod.

"James, may we talk with you inside?" Harry asked, James nodded

"Sure dad, come in" James said hoplding the door opem as Harry and Albus walked inside the house. "What is it dad?"

"As you know, Albus was released and he needs a place to stay for a while." Harry said before Albus could say a word.

"I don't know dad, I mean I know he is my brother but… he was dealing with dark magic, how can I fully trust him?"

"Someone else who doesn't want me around either," Albus said looking at James.

"How can you blame me Al?" James asked as he walked straight up towards Albus, as the two brothers were a foot apart.

"I should have known I couldn't trust you." Albus said, "I couldn't trust you at Hogwarts when you stole Emily from me and apparently I can't trust you now either."

"You brought that on yourself Al and as I said before she came to me when you were not paying her any attention," James said, as they both stared daggers at each other. "You dealt with dark magic Albus so forgive me if I am at all hesitant with letting you live under my roof."

"James! Albus!" Harry said as he put his arms between the two brothers to keep them from fighting. "That is enough; can you two put the past behind you both and act civil?"

Albus and James looked at each other. "Bringing up an old girlfriend from Hogwarts is not relevant during this time. James will you or will you not let Albus stay with you for a while until he can buy his own place?" Harry asked James. James was hesitant; his brothers emerald eyes were no longer looking at him.

"If he can promise not to bring or use any dark magic in the house or anywhere else than he can. But if not, then no he can't stay." James said.

"What do you say Albus?" Harry asked clapping James on the back. Albus considered his options. He knew that he cannot use any dark magic or he will be back in Azkaban. He knew James was seeking reassurance from Albus about middling with the dark arts.

"I…I promise," Albus said looking at James. Harry smiled at his two sons, who both shook hands in their deal.

"I am proud of you both," Harry said. "Well I need to be off, your mother will wonder where I am. Remember that on Saturday that everyone will meet at your grandparents."

"Thanks dad," Albus said,

"See you on Saturday then dad" James as he walked Harry out of the house.

Here is another chapter, I hope you guys like it. It took me a while to write how it will go for Albus finding a place to live, I am happy with the choice. I apologize for not uploading this chapter earlier, I was sick nearly all week so I did not have much of an opportunity to upload it. Any feedback will be appreciated on what you think so far.
