"Al, Rose, and Scorpius walked of the train and heard someone yelling over the crowd, "First years! First years over here!" Al recognized Hagrid from when he came to Christmas a few years ago."
"Hey Hagrid," Rose and he said to Hagrid as they walked over."
"Hello Rose, Albus, and is that Malfoy's kid behind you? Well let's get going." Hagrid said in a rush as he made sure everyone was there and then led them over to some boats and said, "Four to a boat." Al, Rose, Scorpius and a girl who introduced herself as Yana got into a boat and they set off. When they got in sight of the school all talk stopped. It was the most amazing thing any of them had ever seen. They got to the castle and Hagrid knocked on a door three times. Professor Longbottom opened the door and led the first years to the Great Hall all the time explaining the sorting ceremony to them. But Albus wasn't listening. He was worrying about what house he would be placed. He was worried that James was right and he would be put in Slytherin.
As they walked into the great hall Al's stomach twisted and turned making him nauseous. He knew it was normal for first years to be nervous but he thought he was being overly nervous.
"You'll be fine. We'll both be fine," Rose whispered in his ear, but he could tell that she was almost as nervous as him. He was about to reply when the sorting started.
"Albuquerque, Zanin," was called up and Al realised that he had been so focused on his worries that he had missed the hat's song. "Hufflepuff!" the hat called out and someone else was called up, but Al and Rose had stopped paying attention, both of them thinking of what would happen if they were put into a different house than Gryffindor.
"Malfoy, Scorpius," was called and Scorpius walked up there. Both Rose and Al were paying attention now as Scorp sat there with the hat over his eyes for a few moments then the unthinkable happened, or at least unthinkable to everyone else as Al and Rose knew that he was actually nice, the hat shouted out "Gryffindor!"
"The hall was silent then someone at the Gryffindor table started clapping politely as a pale Scorpius went and sat with the others. After another moment of awkward silence Professor Longbottom called up "McMillan, Jane," who was sorted into Hufflepuff. The sorting was back on track and Al's thoughts got back to his depressing depiction of himself in Slytherin without any friends. Until the name "Potter, Albus" was called.
"Hmm…"he heard a little voice say into his ear. "Another Potter. Where shall I put you. You not smart enough for Ravenclaw, you would be accepted in Hufflepuff but you would do well in Slytherin. Hmm... But, I think not. You may be quite, but you are brave. So I think Gryffindor." Al was so relieved and he heard a large amount of applause coming from the Gryffindor table, expecially from his James, his table. He hurried over to the table and sat next to Scorpius. Now he could worry for Rose.
Two Ravenclaws, a Hufflepuff, and a Slytherin were sorted and then "Weasley, Rose" was called. The hat barely touched her head when it yelled "Gryffindor!" Al cheered as Rose came over and sat with him and Scorp. They had all gotten Gryffindor! Al thought that was awesome and whatever Scorp thought he would be at least partially accepted here. A girl named Yana Yulia was also sorted into Gryffindor and the sorting was over. Food appeared on the tables and everyone dug in. Al was so hungry that it took a moment for him to realise that Scorp wasn't eating anything.
"Are you ok?" Al asked Scorpius. "Ya. I was just wondering how I'm going to tell my parents," he answered. Al felt sorry for him in that case, at least he had gotten into the house that his parents wanted him in. Al was about to say something soothing but James came over and said, " Good, you weren't actually put in Slytherin. You know I was just joking earlier right Al?"
"Ya, I know," he answered but James had already walked away. When he got back to his food he noticed that Scorpius had started eating."Good,"he thought and started a conversation with Rose about what classes they were looking forward to.
When the feast was over he heard his cousin Molly saying "First years over here." It was her first year as prefect so it was her job to show them to the common room and their dorms. They hurried to keep up with her and when they got to the common room Al said "Good night. See you tomorrow," to Rose as they headed to their different dorms.
Up in the dorm Al asked Scorpius one more time if he was okay and after he said he was fine they went to bed. Al and Rose were both very excited for the next day and their classes, but Scorpius lay in his bed awake dreading the next day and how his parents would react to the news of his sorting. Finally, he fell asleep and everything was silent in Gryffindor tower.
I hope you guys like it. I know it's a little different than everyone else's version, but it's the was Iimagine it. Also, Scorp is the nickname for Scorpius, if you didn't figured out already. I also hope that you like how each chapter has a different characters point of view, at least for the first three chapters.
PS- I'm sorry for the mistake that was in here before. I don't know what happened. Thanks to Raven that flies in the night for alerting me to the problem.
