Albus Potter: Year One
Disclaimer: I am not J.K Rowling
Albus swallowed a bite of custard tart. "So Holly what's your favorite part of Hogwarts?"
"I love everything though the portraits are hilarious!"
"Yeah! Like the fat lady." Scorpious said. Albus felt as though a brick had just slid down his stomach.
"We left it open."
"What?" Rose asked.
"The fat lady portrait." Albus said. They all turned as white as sheets. "Lets go!" They sprung up and rushed through the corridors up the staircases and to the portrait. The four kids walked in. The whole room was coated in emerald and silver streamers with an enchanted banner that said SLYTHERIN RULES! Holly sank into a chair and sobbed, Scorpious stood there mortified, Rose eventually sobbed with Holly, but Albus poured the books out of his school bag making loud clanking sound. He took down the streamers and stuffed them in his bag as for the banner he ripped it to shreds. "I can't believe they did this!"
"I know!"
"We have to get revenge." Holly grinned wickedly, her eyes puffy from crying. "First of all we need Polyjuice Potion."
"It's a potion where you can change into someone for an hour." Rose added to Scorpious and Albus who looked confused.
"Exactly," Holly continued "So we turn into Slytherins and we sneak into the green house, steal a few mandrakes, so if they catch us they blame the Slytherins. Then we go into the common room at night and put the mandrakes in the common room." She finished. They look at her in awe.
"Brilliant!" Rose blurted. As night crept closer they spent the day stealing ingredients, writing letters about Slytherin passwords, and studying potions. Rose and Holly brewed the potion and Scorpious and Albus checked out books. As the weeks went by they snuck into an abandoned laboratory to brew the potion. Finally when the day it was ready came during potions class they ripped hairs from 4 Slytherins which caused an outbreak of ow and ouch's. Rose stowed the hair in glass flask and pocketed it quickly. Albus found it hard to concentrate during class. He tapped his feet on the ground and drummed his fingers on his wood desk.
After dinner the 4 kids met up in the common room and acted normal until everyone went to sleep. Once everything was clear they split up Rose and Holly to get the potion ready and Albus and Scorpious to open the letter that Mr. Malfoy, Scorpious's father had sent them.
Once they split up Albus dashed to the dormitory ripping the wax seal off and snatching the parchment.
Dear Scorpious,
How mean of those kids! The password for the common room is Pureblood. By the way, don't tell Rose or Albus's parents about this they would kill me.
Yours Truly,
Your Father
"Your Dad is bloody brilliant! My dad would never tell us!" Albus said very pleased.
'"Okay lets get going." Scorpious put the letter in his robe pocket and they ran to the lavatory. Peeves almost caught them a few times but they made it. When they walked in Holly and Rose were busy churning and stirring the Polyjuice potion which in Albus's opinion looked like rotten pudding he had found in James room once, lumpy and watery. Rose poured each one into glasses and handed them to everyone.
Albus took a sip and felt it burn his throat with an awful too sour taste. He dropped the glass and it shattered. He sprinted to the sink and turned the nob, cupping his hands and having the water pour into his hands. He gulped it as though he had never had anything more delicious. Rose, and Holly were doing the same thing and Scorpious was in a stall vomiting. Then Albus felt himself grow a few inches taller and his face changed. "Wicked!" Rose said, her hair was long, and blond, rather than frizzy and red, she was shorter and plumper, rather than skinny and tallish. Holly came out a few seconds later. Her hair was jet-black, rather than brown, and her eyes were a cold, beady, and black rather than big and green. Scorpious came out a while after, running his hand through his now dirty blond hair.
"Lets go get the mandrakes." The four now Slytherins snuck through the halls quietly until Rose tripped over something, landing flat on her face shouting a loud OUCH! They all turned to find out that something was Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat. She hissed loudly and sprinted away to get Filch. "RUN!"
They ran, and ran as fast they could, hoping Filch would not catch them.
I AM SO SORRY! I will try to update more often. Today I was sick sadly so sorry if this chapter is bad. I hope I will be able to publish on Thursday. Thanks!
