The Life of Albus Potter
Chapter 6: The Reunion of Old Enemies
I gulped nervously as I followed Professor McGonagall to her office. She had that strict look that she often gives my dad and Uncle Ron when they do something idiotic at home when she comes to visit. It seems she gives that look to James and Fred all the time. In all honesty, the looks scared the crap out of me.
Norrie's face wasn't red anymore, but rather pale. She still had tears trailing down her face like a waterfall. She was trembleing.
Scorpius and I shared a look, and he mouthed to me, "What's going to happen?"
I mouthed back, "I don't know."
James and Fred were behind us, looking a bit shaken up at what just happened.
And this is all before our first class of the day, too.
Alex was standing next to Norrie, with a smug look on his face. Norrie didn't seem to notice this, and I think that it was good she didn't.
Wait- why was he looking so... Smug?
Then it hit me like a cannonball going two hundred miles an hour. Norrie said tha her brother told her the way to Transfiguaration and that it was far from the Great Hall... And I know for a fact, curtosy to a second year Slytherin by the name of Dylan Nott, that second year Slytherins have Herbology with Gryffindor second years. James and Fred weren't suppose to be down that corridor. They were suppouse to be on the other side of the castle...
Alex must have... He must have said something about meeting James and Fred at the corridor we were in, but never showed... He must of told the two a plan...
Alex is evil.
Anyway, we soon reached a gargoyle that must of been the entrance way to McGonagalls office. "McGonagall is awesome." The lady said.
The gargoyle disappeared, and we all followed her up the stairs and into her office, where three pairs of parents, and one man in there, arguing.
"Silence!" Exclaimed McGonagall.
I glanced at the people in the room.
I noticed Uncle George and Aunt Madison***. Uncle Gerorge, of course had the trade mark Wealsey red hair, and dark green-brown eyes, and he also lacked an ear. Aunt Madison had long, dark, wavy red hair, and emerald green eyes (exactly like dad's eyes), and freckles.
Aunt Madison is my dad's younger twin sister, and currently, she's pregnant again with their fourth child. I think she's pregnant. I only think so because I remember when mum was pregnant, and she had a belly like that at around two or three months.
Then there was mum and dad. I really don't have to explain them, do I? Hopefully not.
The other set of parents were obviously Scorpius'. The man looked a lot like Scorpius. He had blonde hair like him, and a pointed jaw and pale skin like him as well. The other lady, obviously his mum, had brown curly hair that reached her shoulder and dark blue eyes, much like her son's eyes.
The man that was alone must of been the father of Alex and Norrie. He looked much more like Alex- with the facial structure and body structure, and he had the same appearance as his son, minus the eyes and hair Alex had.
The hair and eyes must of come from their mum. Norrie didn't really look like him with her black hair and colorful streaks and misty green eyes.
"I thought I told you to take out the dye, Elenore." Her dad spoke in a gruff voice.
McGonagall looked at him, and he shut up right then and there. We sat down next to our family, and McGonagall began to talk.
"What happened back there?"
"Well, you see, Professor, Norrie, Al and I were going to Transfiguaration-"
"That starts at nine, you know." She interrupted. "Continue."
Scorpius nodded and continued. "And we were walking, and Fred and James came up and started taunting Al, and when Norrie stood up for him and told them to stop-"
"They started taunting her. Started saying," I began, quietly and smally. "That her dad was really dumb," dad snorted at this, and mum wacked him in the back of the head. "And stuff like that."
"She told them to shut up," said Scorpius. "But then they said.. Said 'Are you going to go cry to your mummy now', and Norrie started getting angry but kept her cool."
"Until... They said, 'Oh wait! She's dead!' Then she blew up with anger, and a wall fell on them, and she starts crying and pulls off the bricks, and cried because she thought they were dead, and she kept on beginning that they weren't or something."
"We weren't even scratched." Fred said, speaking up for the first time. James nodded in agreement.
"How the heck did you know my mum is dead? It's something only my family knows because... It's something we don't talk about. I've never met her. She has been buried, yea, but..." Norrie said.
"Alex told us she was dead." James said with a shrug.
"You two should of been on the other side of the castle for Herbology."
"And how would you know, snake?" James growled.
"I saw Dylan Notts schedule." I said, smugly.
Meanwhile, Norrie looked at Alex with a hurt look. "You... You did it, didn't you? You told them to meet somewhere... And ordered them..."
Alex smugly nodded. "It's called payback."
Norrie closed her eyes and turned to McGonagall.
"Whatever you do, please don't expell me. I don't want to go back to that hell hole of a home." She said very quietly.
"I'm not expelling you... But you, Mr. Goyle, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Weasley will have detention with Hagrid at seven at night everyday this week."
She glanced at us all, and said, "Now... If you want to talk to your parents about the sorting,
Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy, and Miss Goyle, you can."
Dad and mum nodded, and I paled. I find it funny how they haven't looked at me yet, and I've hidden my tie color over a sweatshirt I stuffed in my book bag incase it got cold for the time being. They don't know I'm in Slytherin yet, and I'm not sure how they are going to take it.
So, James and Fred, both still giving me the look of betrayal, walked out, and Uncle George and Aunt Madison bid good bye to us and left.
McGonagall left the room so we could all talk. It was only about eight fifteen, so shit we have like forty five minutes until class started.
"So, Norrie, dear," began Mrs. Malfoy. "What house are you in?"
"Slytherin." She said, wiping the tears away. "God, I look like a huge baby, I'm crying aren't I?"
"Your not a baby for crying. You have a reason to, Norrie." Said dad.
She smally smiled at him. "I guess. Your Al's parents, right?"
Mum and dad nodded.
"Al, take off the ridiculous sweatshirt, you chicken." Scorpius teased.
He was right, the sweatshirt was ridiculous. It was a orange Chudley Cannons sweatshirt. So I took it off and gave it to dad to bring home.
"They are not ridiculous, Scorpius! I love the Chudley Cannons."
"You should meet my Uncle Ron, then, he might like you, even though your Goyle's daughter."
She shrugged, and her dad said, gruffly, "What's that suppouse to mean, snake?"
Norrie came to my rescue. "Uhm... It just means that he doesn't really like people who aren't Chudley Cannons fans."
Goyle seemed to be really dumb, because he bought it.
"Anyway, did Al tell he was in Slytherin?" Asked Scorpius, cheerfully.
"No... He didn't." Mum said, raising an eyebrow at me.
"You. Are. Not. Suppouse. To. Tell. Someone. Else's. Parents. What. House. They. Are. In!" Norrie said, slapping him on the shoulder with a book from her bag after each word.
"Sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Potter." Scorpius said, fearing Norrie's anger.
"It's alright, Scorpius." Mum said. Dad held a smile of amusement at Norrie.
"But, yea, uh, I'm in Slytherin." I said.
"Al, honey, you know we don't care what house your in." Mum and dad said in sync as they hugged me.
Scorpius' parents hugged him, but Norrie stayed in her chair. She moved it away from her father, and sat closer to the door. He gave her a stern look, and she winced.
"Why won't you hug me, young lady?" Goyle demanded in his deep, gruff voice.
Norrie quickly got up and hugged him, and he hugged her tight, and she grimmanced afterwards. She looked as if he was going to strangle her.
Something is up with her family...

Why do you think James treats Norrie that way?
