ALBUS' POV

Albus Potter stood at the prow of the boat his prefect and DA badges pinned to his robes. He was escorting the first years as the DA always seemed to do –the school decided that was the best chose the first year after the war and now it was just habit. Al was listening to the first years muttering about the rebellion that had started in the east when a first year asked him.

"What year are you in?"

"Seventh," Albus replied.

"What's your name?"

"Albus,"

The first year nodded. "My names Zoe" she said "what's it like in the DA?"

"Hard but rewarding," he smiled.

He glanced across at the boat next to them to see Lilly Standing at one end and Leah at the other. Albus had secretly had a crush on Leah since her first year, although he had never let on. She had long blonde hear and deep blue eyes, she was in Lilly's year and the she got along with the whole family.

"Who's that?" Zoe asked

"Only the most beautifulgirl in the world. The one at the front that is," Scorpius smirked from the back of the boat.

"She's also my sister," Albus grumbled

"Oh ok, you're a potter aren't you?" Zoe said

Albus rolled his eyes. It always came back to his dad but he nodded.

"What's going to happen with the rebels are we all going to die?" another first year "is the army going to stop them before they get here?"

Scorpius laughed "Don't riley on the army that's what my dad always says, I'm sure yours will agree hay Al."

Albus nodded "The Ministry introduce something like an army and everyone gets too over confident. I mean we had 179 men in the DA moving into this year and god knows how many second years will sign up this year but we take every day as it comes," he said

"Are you saying that we shouldn't trust the army?" Zoe asked

"No, No not at all, but don't invest too much trust in the army. There are still a lot of people out there who think the same way as Voldemort and if they rise the army isn't very big compared to what came knocking on our door at the end of the war," Scorpius said.

"How large is the stone army? Some people say it's bigger than any army that has walked this Earth," another first year said

"Can we stop talking about armies, we're coming to the docks," Albus muttered. Talking about the stone army always made him uneasy he was one of the only people who knew about the thousands of stone worriers standing under the castle walls, his dad had told him, James and Lilly when he was explaining how the school had changed in the "arming" proses.

Quickly the talk changed from the rebels to the normal topic of which house they would be sorted into.

Once everyone had jumped of the boats Lilly walked over and liked hands with Scorpius "Is it me or is all the first years talk about this stupid rebellion?" she said as they waked

"Come on guys we need to get a descant seat." Leah said behind my back making him jump "You alright Al!" she said.

He nodded.
