Hi again!
So I've decided to end the story here as its my first one ever!
But if you like it and want me to continue with it please review and I will! :)
I do not own any of the characters mentioned in Harry Potter or anything mentioned in Harry Potter. JKR owns all of them and she is amazing. I would appreciate it if you didn't steal my work or any of my ideas and use it as your own. Thanks!
Please Review!
Chapter 3
"So you're famous?" Troy confirmed.
Albus and Rose; with help of Alex; had just finished explaining the whole Potter/Weasly-Granger/Malfoy/Voldemort story to Troy when the Hogwarts Express arrived.
"Yeah," Albus said, "Basically we're famous."
"Okay," nodded Troy, " I can deal with famous, just as long as you do one thing?"
"Alright...?" Said Albus questioningly.
"Never make peace with that little shrimp Malfoy." Grinned Troy.
"Oh mate, no problem there!" Albus flashed a smile and the two boys high-fived.
Rose and Alex exchanged a glance. They clearly were going to have their work cut out for them in the next seven years.
"Alright we should probably head onto the platform." Rose said as the train slowed to a stop.
"Yeah, before you two get into anymore trouble." Alex added.
So the four new friends left their bags behind and headed out into the cool night air. The platform was completely swamped with student. Kids of all ages were running around like mad trying to find their friends and head to the carriages. Al had not been standing long before he heard a familiar voice.
"FIRST YEARS! THIS WAYS! FIRST YEARS, GATHER HERE!" Bellowed Hagrid.
"First years over here!" Shouted another man he was young and fit.
Albus had heard that Hagrid was taking on an apprentice to shadow him. He said he was getting old and wanted to soon retire to just animal maintenance and let someone else do the teaching.
After everyone had gathered to get Hagrid instructed them all to find a partner and stick together, then he directed them down a bank where a bunch of small boats were docked. Albus and Rose were partners as was Troy and Alex. Once they reached to boat Hagird's assistant explained there were four to a boat and they climbed in. When Hagird had settled in his and checked that everyone was seated the boat moved forward in unison. Several people screamed when a huge tentacle rose lazily out of the water then sunk back beneath its icy depth. Finally they passed under an ivy curtain into a cave. They all dismounted from the boats and traversed through a rocky shore up to the front of the castle.
When they reached the castle doors Hagrid knocked and another familiar face answered. Professor Longbottem beamed down at the new student and gave a quick wink to Al and Rose. He lead them inside the castle and into an empty room where he then explained the Sorting Ceremony and some of Hogwarts rules. Al and Rose already new all of it by heart, as the had badgered their parents for stories about the grand old castle from the first moment they could talk. For a moment Neville disappeared, then he returned and informed the first years that they were ready for them.
They all got into a line and Al found himself standing behind Rose and in front of Troy. He was glad to see that Troy was looking as nervous as he was. Al caught his eye and winked, while Troy gave him a reassuring nod. Alex and Rose exchanges a quick thumbs up. As they walked into the great hall the group of first years let out a gasp. The hall was brilliant. From the ancient stone floors to the towering bewitched ceiling, it was everything their parents had described and more!
They came to a halt at the front of the hall facing the four house tables. Neville sat down a three legged stool and the sorting hat gave its song. Al was too nervous to listen to a word it said.
Finally Neville called out the first name.
"Abbot, Garret!"
"Hufflepuff!"
"Archers, Rachel!"
"Gryffindor!"
When hat got to Malfoy something remarkable happened. After a full minute of waiting the hat bellowed, "GRYFINDOR!"
The whole entire hall fell silent. Scorpius sat on the stool for a second longer that he should and got off and walked stunned over to the Gryfindor table.
Then is was Troys turn. The hat had barely touched his head when it screamed, "GRYFINDOR!"
A few more children were called. Finally...
"Potter, Albus."
There was a loud thud as someone at the teachers table dropped their golblet.
Then hat was on Al's head and he couldn't see or head anything in the hall.
'Ohhhhh I heard you would be coming to see me this year... Albus Severus Potter." spoke the hat, "Yes...your are much more like your father than James Potter ohh yes... Well I supposed you'll have that same determined attitude that he had, stubborn as a mule. I told him he would do well in Slytherin but he would hear it... He chose Gyfindor, but what will you choose?'
'I will NOT be in Slytherin,' thought Albus, 'Not while that slimy git Malfoy thinks he can rule my house. Never.'
'Alright have it your way,' said the hat, " GRYFINDOR!"
Albus removed the hat and walked over to the Gryfindor table. As he slid into the open seat next to Troy he was experiencing several emotions at once. First of all he was relieved and happy to be in Gryfindor with his new friend. Secondly he was completely shocked and baffled by the hat decision to place Malfoy in Gryfindor. Thirdly he was anxious for Rose to join him at the table and so as he was always taught to put family first he decided to just watch the sorting.
An equal amount of kids went to Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.
Next, it was Alex's turn to be sorted. She walked confidently up to the stool when her name was called and sat down. The hat took almost as long as it did to sort Malfoy. After almost a full minutes and thirty seconds it finally yelled, "GRYFINDOR!"
And Alex came to sit down across from Albus next to Scorpius. She examined him closely before sitting down.
"Congrats!" Said Troy.
"Yeah it's gonna be an honor sharing the school with both of y'all." Said Albus, seeming to ignore Scorpius.
Finally it got down to the last few kids and Rose was called.
"Weasly, Rose!"
.
..
...
"Gryfindor!"
Rose practically skipped over to them she sat down next to Alex. A few moments latter Head Mistress McGonagall gave a short speech and the feast appeared on the tables.
Everything was going well until Rose asked Scorpius to pass the roast-beef. Scorpius looked at Rose for a moment, then just looked back at his empty plate( he had refused to eat anything).
The four friends exchanged a glance that could only mean one thing.
This was going to be an interesting year.
