Albus Potter: Year One
Disclaimer: I am not J.K Rowling
Albus woke up and rubbed his eyes. He felt around the table for the class schedule. Once he found the thin piece of parchment he looked at it trying to find hike first class, which was, Herbolgy at 8:30. Albus looked then at the old grandfather clock, which read 8:15, He literary felt him self-drain colour. Albus scrambled out of bed to find every one was gone but him and Scorpious. No wonder. Why did Rose make them do homework last night? He shook Scorpious hard and yelled "Scorpious, wake up, please! Its 8:15 and Herbolgy starts at 8:30!"
"WHAT?" Scorpious demanded springing out of bed. He and Albus worked like a team to get everything done. Albus got their school bags and toothbrushes ready while Scorpious got their robes out.
"What about break feast?" Albus asked.
"Oh yeah we will definitely have time for that! Honestly!" He responded sarcastically. They rushed down the stairs, into the common room threading through sofas, and chairs. They flung the fat lady portrait open and ran through the corridors. Once they got on the grounds they could see the green houses. They dashed to the green houses pushing the smooth, glass door open.
"Sorry were late Proffeser Longbott- Hey where is everyone?"
"At break feast... Herbolgy starts at 8:30 boys." Neville said looking up from his clipboard.
"What time is it?" Scorpious asked flabbergasted
"7:30." He replied raising an eyebrow. Scorpious glared at Albus.
"Sorry." He mumbled.
"Oh boys, since you're here early could you help me prepare some stuff for class?"
"Err, we were thinking of going to break feas-"
"I have biscuits!" He reassured them.
"Okay!" Albus said.
"I love biscuits!" Scorpious said.
"Great! First can you put this soil into pots?" Neville asked. They nodded and scooped with a trout a lot of soil into the lined up pots. The soil was moist and humid and a dark pavement shade of black. Once each and every pot was filled, Neville handed them each a biscuit. When Albus bit into it felt as though he had never tasted anything so delicious. It was warm and fluffy and absolutely perfect. "So boys take a seat."
Albus sat down at his seat. "You know Al, Scorp, your parents used to be at each others necks when they were at school."
"We know." Said Albus quickly.
"Should we get ready for class?" Scorpious asked rolling up his robes' sleeves because of the temperature. Neville nodded. The two boys got out their glossy new Herbolgy textbooks and a few minutes later students started filing in. Including Rose who mouthed clearly "Where were you?" As the lesson began Neville introduced himself and then they learned about the beneficial paste of the Viotex Plant, which cured most blood, related incidents.
The plant had odd stringy roots with unbelievably thick spongy leaves, which were green with grape purple spots. "Your assignment is to break the leaves in half and inside will be a lime green paste with small seeds. Separate the seeds into the pot and the paste into some flasks I will pass out. You can keep the paste if you want but the plant keep here because every Herbolgy lesson for the next month we will be helping it grow and whichever student helps it grow best will win a special prize." Many students stiffened. "You may begin."
There was a loud snapping noise coming from all direction as leafs were split in half. Albus squeezed out the paste and saw about 20 seeds on it. He grabbed a bundle of them and wiped of the green paste. He put the paste in his flask but decided not to bring paste with him.
As the classes past lunch seemed to be getting farther away but when it finally came Albus and Scorpious were eager to eat. As they walked into the Great Hall they noticed Rose was linked arms with a girl from Gryffindor named Holly Preach. Holly was taller than Rose, had long brown wavy hair and bright green eyes. They were laughing about something and were skipping to sit next to them.
"Hello boys. Have you met Holly?" Rose asked.
"No, hi Holly. I'm Albus Potter and this is Scorpious Malfoy."
"Nice to meet you." Scorpious said.
"Nice to meet you too. Everyone says that your parents were famous. Is that true because I'm muggly born." Scorpious had to hold back his laughter.
"Don't you mean Muggle born?"
"Oh yeah sorry!" She said turning the slightest bit pink and hitting the side of her head.
"Anyway, yes I, well, err, yes they were famous." Albus stuttered. But Holly just smiled. Albus put some potatoes and steak onto his plate and took a gulp of his pumpkin juice. When he was cutting up his steak a boy walked over, he had jet-black hair, and round black circle glasses. A boy he recognized as his older brother, James.
"Hello bite sizes." He said teasing them. "Al, Rosie, Scorp- and who is this?"
"That's Holly Preach." Rose said glaring at him.
"Hello Holly. I am Albus's older brother. Don't be scared of me I'm just a third year, who's older than you, and is the best Quidditch player, in all of Hogwarts!" James said bragging.
"Shut up!" Albus said.
"Calm down. I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to watch Quidditch trials." James said.
"Yeah we should go! When?" Rose asked.
"This Saturday at 6:00- James was cut off by the sound of the owls flying in. Holly screamed. Parcels and letters dropped everywhere. And 2 letters came dropping into Albus lap and another two more for Rose and Scorpious.
"Yay! Mum and Dad responded. I wrote him last night. And another one from," Albus squinted at the writing, "Oh Hagrid." Albus ripped the letter
open from his parents. "Who wrote you Rosie, Scorp?"
"Mum and Dad I wrote them last night." Rose said
"Father, I wrote him too."
Albus read over his letter.
Dear Al,
Congratulations in getting Gryffindor! Made any friends? We hope so. How is Rosie? Auntie and Uncle Ron and Hermione told us she got Gryffindor. What classes do you like best?
Lots of Love,
Mum and Dad
P.S Don't eat anything Hagrid offers you, just put them in your pocket.
Albus pocketed that letter and opened the next letter.
Al, Do u wont too com fore tea at fiv 'o cloc? You can breng frends. Hagrid
Albus folded the badly written letter and asked his friends to come with him. They agreed. "Scorpious what did your dad say?" Scorpious passed the letter to Albus,
Dear Scorp,
I am not neither mad nor proud about you getting Gryffindor. But congratulations! I just don't know how to tell Grandfather Lucius. It is good you have made friends.
Sincerely,
Your Father
He took out his quill and wrote on the back of the letter Hagrid gave him,
Hagrid That's sounds fun. I will bring three friends.
Albus
He tied it to the owl's foot and took out the next letter. He turned it over and wrote,
Mum and Dad, I made two new friends, Holly Preach who I just made friends with literally minutes ago, and Scorpious Malfoy who I made friends with on the train. Sorry if your mad at me but he is really nice. Hagrid invited me for tea today. My favorite class is probably Herbolgy or Potions. James invited me and my friends (A/N I know it's suppose to be my friends and me but you know it sounds more realistic) to Quidditch trials. How is Lily doing in Muggle School? Albus
He tied this one to the owl's foot and watched it fly away.
I am back from my trip! Happy New Year! Anyway what do you think of the Holly? I like her. Should I keep her in the story? Does anyone have ideas for a new story you would like me to write? I was thinking of writing a Lily Potter (Harry and Ginny's daughter) or One about what happened to the Dursley's when the left in Deathly Hallows. So last chapter I said I would say a thank you to the reviewers:
TartsandTea: You are like the reason I write this story!
You-know-who blue T: Thanks for reviewing see you tomorrow!
AlwayswillbePotterHead: Thank you for being honest! It has helped me a lot
And lastly Anonymous: Hahaha. PLEASE REVIEW! It would be so great! Even if its criticism. (Just nothing to mean!)
