p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"Inojin look around the train carriage noting that it had many compartment unlike the one to the Academy that had two open public compartments. Ahead of him walked Albus and Rose. The Trolley Witch approaches, pushing her trolley. As she spots the two of them she stops./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Anything from the trolley, dears? Pumpkin Pasty? Chocolate Frog? Cauldron Cake?" the Trolley Witch asked them looking at the child in the back as well as he reaches for a money bag on him./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"'Okay let's see what cash I have in here. According to the memo the gold coins are Galleons, the silver's are Sickles and the bronze are Knuts. There are seventeen silver Sickles to a Galleon and twenty-nine Knuts to a Sickle. And I seem to have a lot in here so I can get a lot and try them out.' Inojin thought counting up the new cash on him, he wasn't like Baruto who liked to have hot sauce burgers all the time he prefer sweet things or food with cheese on it like pizza. Mostly he limited how much sweet things he eat to when he really felt like it as being around ChoCho with it was asking for hell. One thing that bothered him about sweets was he need for it when using medical ninjutsu but that wasn't too days problem./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Al. We need to concentrate."Rose said as she spotted Albus's loving look at the Chocolate frogs./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Concentrate on what?" Albus asked wondering if she'll let him buy just one Chocolate frog as he was missing Agrippa and Ptolemy cards to name a few./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "On who we choose to be friends with. My mum and dad met your dad on their first Hogwarts Express you know..." Rose answered expectedly./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "So we need to choose now who to be friends with for life? That's quite scary." Albus said wanting to put it off for as long as possible./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""On the contrary, it's exciting. I'm a Granger-Weasley, you're a Potter – everyone will want to be friends with us, we've got the pick of anyone we want." Rose told him dreamily./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"'You're joking right? Damn she not like Sardra at all after all she worse than. Well she wrong I don't want to be friends with a snotty brat at all' Inojin thought as he watch her pull Albus away from the trolley letting him get to it. The Trolley Witch didn't have anything he known as he'd expected but what she did have were Bettie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs. Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron Cakes, Liquorice Wands, and a number of other strange things that seem interesting to try. Not wanting to miss anything, he got several of everything and paid the woman before following the two./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "So how do we decide – which compartment to go in ..." Albus began to asked use to this selfish from her./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""We rate them all and then we make a decision." Rose tells him as Albus go to the nearest compartment and gets a nod from her Albus opens a compartment door – to look in on a lonely blond his – Scorpius – in an otherwise empty compartment. Albus smiles, Scorpius smiles back./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Hi. Is this compartment ..." Albus asks./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "It's free. It's just me." Scorpius tells them happy that someone may be his friend well hopefully./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Great. So we might just – come in – for a bit – if that's okay?" Albus asked put Rose plan into action./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "That's okay. Hi." Scorpius answers./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Albus. Al. I'm – my name is Albus..." Albus says to get the conversation going./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Hi Scorpius. I mean, I'm Scorpius. You're Albus. I'm Scorpius. And you must be..." Scopius replies nervously as Rose's face is growing colder by the minute./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Rose." Rose says frosty. 'Ok what's her problem now.' Inojin thinks at the cold brush off the girl was give made it a little to clear to him she thought the occupant of the compartment was trash./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Hi Rose. Would you like some of my Fizzing Whizzbees?" Scopius asks as she seems pretty to him./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "I've just had breakfast, thanks." Rose replays in a repulsed tone./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: normal;""I've also got some Shock-o-Choc, Pepper Imp and some Jelly Slugs. Mum's idea – she says (emSings/em), 'Sweets they always help you make friends'(emhe realises that singing was a mistake/em). Stupid idea probably." Scopius continues./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: normal;""I'll have some...Mum doesn't let me have sweets. Which one would you start with?" Albus asks trying to get along with him. Rose hits Albus, out of sight of Scopius but in full site of Inojin who they have still not notices behind them./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm .0001pt 35.45pt;"'Alright let's see how this plays out.' Inojin thinks as he sinks back a little more into the shadows./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: normal;""Easy. I've always regarded the Pepper Imp as the king of the confectionery bag. They're peppermint sweets that make you smoke at the ears." Scopius tells Albus./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: normal;""Brilliant, then that's what I'll – (ROSE hits him again.) Rose, will you please stop hitting me?" Albus turns to her with a frown./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "I'm not hitting you." Rose denies it. 'Of course you are not just like it's not ChoCho fault when she take food of others plate when they take too long to eat in her view.' Inojin thought like Rose's less and less by the mint./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "You are hitting me, and it hurts." Albus tells her not take the unknown hint from her. Scopius's face falls as he understands what she's doing./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "She's hitting you because of me." Scopius tells Albus in a quiet voice./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "What?" Albus asks still not understanding./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Listen, I know who you are, so it's probably only fair you know who I am." Scopius says sounding hurt./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "What do you mean you know who I am?" Albus asked not getting what's going on./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "You're Albus Potter. She's Rose Granger-Weasley. And I am Scorpius Malfoy. My parents are Astoria and Draco Malfoy. Our parents – they didn't get on." Scopius carefully explains./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" 'The kid your uncle told your cousin here to beat in very test on the platform while you were worrying about what school house you'll be in.' Inojin thought as he'd had no trouble recognising the kid./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "That's putting it mildly. Your mum and dad are Death Eaters!" Rose declared like she was a saint. 'And that as what to do with you? Nothing as it has no importation's at all. My Dad was a root member no one cares as they too busy gazing/drooling at him or inviting him to have a cup of coffee which is more than what your dad get.' Inojin thinks as he place it in turns of Konohagakure groups to make it more relevant to him as he was now sure things were in motion and he would soon be a part of it./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Dad was – But Mum wasn't." Scopius says as Rose looks away, and he knows why she does prompting him to go on. "I know what the rumour is, and it's lie."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Albus looks from an uncomfortable Rose to a desperate Scopius asks, "What – is the rumour?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "The rumour is that my parents couldn't have children. That my father and my grandfather were so desperate for a powerful heir, to prevent the end of the Malfoy line, that they used a Time-Turner to send my mother back –" Scopius begins dreading the topic but refusing to cower away from the truth./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "To send her back where?" Albus asks not seeing what it has to do with him./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "The rumour is that he's Voldemort's son, Albus." Rose says bluntly as a horrible, uncomfortable silence fall on themem./em "It's probably rubbish. I mean...look, you've got a nose."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"The tension is slightly broken, Scopius laughs, pathetically grateful. 'Why are you grateful? That bitch believe the damn rumour and will presumably be spreading it when she leave this compartment? Who your parents are is none and I mean NONE of her business. And in all probability not smallest thing you have way too much of your dad's genes to not be his son.' Inojin thinks as he feels annoyed at the way the girl act better than them./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "And it's just like my father's! I got his nose, his hair and his name. Not that that's a great thing either. I mean – father-son issues, I have them. But, on the whole, I'd rather be a Malfoy than, you know, the son of the Dark Lord" Scopius says as he and Albus look at each other and something passes between them./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm .0001pt 36.0pt;""Yes, well, we probably should sit somewhere else. Come on, Albus." Rose says as she sees a way to escape. Albus is thinking deeply replies, "No (off Rose's look), I'm okay. You go on..."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Albus. I won't wait." Rose says in a threatening tone./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "And I wouldn't expect you to. But I'm staying here." Albus tells her as Inojin come up having heard more than needed plus his too irritated to stay silent anymore./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Excuse me Miss Queen of the world who's tail gating on her parents accomplishment and not her own. You're blocking the door and you're rude if you were going to display your bitch complexes there's no need to do it in front of the open door. And please forgive me you un-holiness but I have no desire to ever be your friend as your ego is far too big and disgusting to tolerate for long. By the way if his parents couldn't have kids it would have been imposable for him to be the Dark Lords as unfortunately the chance is higher that female is unable to conceive then it being with the male's contraption. If you had any real medical knowledge you know that and you problem know it would be genetic imposable for him too look so much like his dad as no spell could do it either.. Oh and most people know that to keep a blood line pure or to keep it from ending the heir must be a male with current head's bloods DNA so being some one else's kid blood wise won't work. How low is you're I.Q. to not know this?" Inojin tells her not even bother to hide his exasperate at her or his knowledge on genetic as it wouldn't be getting back to his parents so he had no reason to hold back at all./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""I am not un-holiness nor do I have a big ego, also I didn't believe the rumour in the first place. Who do you think you are? You are younger than me by two years what are you doing on this train?" Rose demanded angry at the smaller girl./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Oh? Let me repeat your early words back to you see as you have been ignoring me for a while and this is I think the eighth or ninth time I've ask to be let by you, 'I'm a Granger-Weasley, you're a Potter – everyone will want to be friends with us, we've got the pick of anyone we want. I rate them all and then I make a decision.' Say hello to merger ego and riding on parents accomplishment at the same time and anyone who's friends with you on that aren't real friends. 'That's putting it mildly. Your mum and dad are Death Eaters!' first off ego alert, second off rude than rude, third offence total take even if I don't have any Death Eater parents however due to those who do jobs like my folks aren't treat as hero unless they like save the world and fourth can be taken as confirmation as to believing rumour due to you not even caring to get your facts right which even a outsider from another counter like me can identify in seconds. I'm a new transfer student in the first term at the start of the term not that it matters. Just cause I'm a slight smaller and a foreigner doesn't mean I'm too young for the my first year." Inojin stated as if talking to a slow child of five while twisting a kniana in his finger where just Rose could see. Rose looks at Albus a second and then leaves the compartmentem./em/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Fine!" Rose declares with a livered look at the odd blond who simply walks in and stalls his truck next to Scorpius's truck and take out a book from it to read as he sit down./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" Scorpius and Albus are left – looking at each other – unsure./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Thank you." Scorpius says too both./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "No. No. I didn't stay – for you – I stayed for your sweets." Albus says embarrassed./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "She's quite fierce." Scorpius says trying to be polite to his new possible friend./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Yes. Sorry." Albus says worried that Rose will be even more upset with him/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "No. I like it. Do you prefer Albus or Al? And um what can we call you?" Scorpius asked them as he gins and pops two sweets in his mouth./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Albus thinks for a moment, "Albus."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Inojin and if you have to shorten it, Jin" Inojin says./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Scorpius says as smoke comes out of his ears, "THANK YOU FOR STAYING FOR MY SWEETS, ALBUS! NICE TO MET YOU JIN."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Albus starts to laugh "Wow."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"While the two start to share Scorpius's sweets Inojin place some of his into the mix before opening the letter to this school that he'd find back at the satiation./p

At least mom won't worry as I haven't gone anywhere but for the next seven years, how is that going to work.' Inojin singed and pick up a chocolate frog. There was a card as he'd guess. It showed a man's face. He wore half-moon glasses, had a long, crooked nose, and flowing silver hair, beard, and moustache. Underneath the picture was the name Albus Dumbledore. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Hey Jin, can I have one of them? I might get Agrippa." Albus asked careful looking at the girl who had outsmarted his cousin.

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;"Considered by many the greatest wizard of modern times, Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;"Professor Dumbledore enjoyed chamber music and tenpin bowling./p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Um not that I'm ungrateful but why did you defend me? Are you muggle born by changes?" Scorpius decides to ask the pretty girl who was defiantly pretty then Rose had been./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Ok let's get all the fact out the way so that we can enjoy these sweets and the rest of the trip without faults pretends. Chakra runs in my family from both side as far as we know, I guess your um country would say the 'magic gene' instead of chakra so let say I'm either a pureblood or half-blood depending on how you want to look at it. My clan normal keep our um spells within the clan so we don't really study outside the village. The village I come from um offer help in dark time but it's um kind of a hushed thing that only the top people get to know about in the country so they often mistrusted us as we are asked to um infiltrate um circles like the Death Eaters and will um portray the members to um the law enforcement who um hired us. I guess you could say were neither good nor bad but that depends on which side of history you stand. I have no idea why they agreed to this transfer only that the last battle make it possible and that my folk's were give hero awards. So I guess you could say I'm like both of you as I come from a village that look down on like having Death Eaters family but my forks are heroes like hers or Albus's parents." Inojin said as he force, what little information he had on them and this world to work with the truth of his. It works well as both boys nodded and move on to the pile of mostly his sweets now./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Soon he had not only Dumbledore and Morgana, but Hengist of Woodcroft, Alberic Grunnion, Circe, Paracelsus, and Merlin. He finally tore his eyes away from the Druidess Cliodna, who was scratching her nose, to open a bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. Albus picked up a green bean, looked at it carefully, and bit into a corner. "Bleaaargh —Sprouts." /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"They had a good time eating the Every Flavor Beans. Inojin got toast, coconut, baked bean, curry, grass, coffee. Albus was even brave enough to nibble the end off a funny gray one Scorpius wouldn't touch, which turned out to be pepper. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"The countryside now flying past the window was becoming wilder. The neat fields had gone. Now there were woods, twisting rivers, and dark green hills. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"It was getting dark. Inojin could see mountains and forests under a deep purple sky. The train did seem to be slowing down. Then his fellow mates started staring nervously at him and their trunks. Finally Albus voice their problem. "Um we should um change. Scorpius and I will go to the bathroom first if you don't mind."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Why we're all BOYS you know?" Inojin answered as he took off his white overalls and purple pull jacket and pulled on his long black robes which to his relief were the boys set but he also finds the girl skirt in it, 'Well I could have fun leaving the other student guessing at my gender and great they not staring at me changing'. As the other two follow suit think 'He a boy? But how come his so pretty then? Wait why he putting the skirt on too?' "Hey Sev, Scor. You two mind not telling the other I'm a boy? It's kind of a test in my village for others to correctly guess genders when like me the apparent could be either or to be more accoutred it consider to be impolite to ask what most believe to be obvious. In my village it really obvious that I'm a boy so knowing that same think that I'm not matter as it says where I stand." /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Both boys nod as their new nicknames sound neat coming from this unusual kid not that they have long to question it or even understand what he meant./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"A voice echoed through the train: "We will be reaching Hogwarts in five minutes' time. Please leave your luggage on the train; it will be taken to the school separately." /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Albus's stomach lurched with nerves and Scorpius, he saw, looked pale but the small boy look just as he had when he first came in as if nothing could scare him as he was so over this. They crammed their pockets with the last of the sweets and joined the crowd thronging the corridor. The train slowed right down and finally stopped. People pushed their way toward the door and out on to a tiny, dark platform. Inojin shivered in the cold night air./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Then a lamp came bobbing over the heads of the students, and Albus heard a familiar voice: "Firs' years! Firs' years over here! All right there, Albus?" Hagrid's big hairy face beamed over the sea of heads. "C'mon, follow me — any more firs' years? Mind yer step, now! Firs' years follow me!" Slipping and stumbling, they followed Hagrid down what seemed to be a steep, narrow path. It was so dark on either side of them that Inojin thought there must be thick trees there. Nobody spoke much./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Yeh'll get yer firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec," Hagrid called over his shoulder, "jus' round this bend here." There was a loud "Oooooh!" The narrow path had opened suddenly onto the edge of a great black lake. Perched atop a high mountain on the other side, its windows sparkling in the starry sky, was a vast castle with many turrets and towers. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""No more'n four to a boat!" Hagrid called, pointing to a fleet of little boats sitting in the water by the shore. Albus and Scorpius were followed into their boat by Inojin but no one else want to share their boat as Inojin appear to have a sharp object in his hand that seem a little dangers to be next to. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Everyone in?" shouted Hagrid, who had a boat to himself. "Right then — FORWARD!" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"And the fleet of little boats moved off all at once, gliding across the lake, which was as smooth as glass. Everyone was silent, staring up at the great castle overhead. It towered over them as they sailed nearer and nearer to the cliff on which it stood. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Heads down!" yelled Hagrid as the first boats reached the cliff; they all bent their heads and the little boats carried them through a curtain of ivy that hid a wide opening in the cliff face. They were carried along a dark tunnel, which seemed to be taking them right underneath the castle, until they reached a kind of underground harbour, where they clambered out onto rocks and pebbles. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Then they clambered up a passageway in the rock after Hagrid's lamp, coming out at last onto smooth, damp grass right in the shadow of the castle. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"They walked up a flight of stone steps and crowded around the huge, oak front door. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;""Everyone here?" Hagrid raised a gigantic fist and knocked three times on the castle door. /p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"Inojin look around the train carriage noting that it had many compartment unlike the one to the Academy that had two open public compartments. Ahead of him walked Albus and Rose. The Trolley Witch approaches, pushing her trolley. As she spots the two of them she stops./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Anything from the trolley, dears? Pumpkin Pasty? Chocolate Frog? Cauldron Cake?" the Trolley Witch asked them looking at the child in the back as well as he reaches for a money bag on him./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"'Okay let's see what cash I have in here. According to the memo the gold coins are Galleons, the silver's are Sickles and the bronze are Knuts. There are seventeen silver Sickles to a Galleon and twenty-nine Knuts to a Sickle. And I seem to have a lot in here so I can get a lot and try them out.' Inojin thought counting up the new cash on him, he wasn't like Baruto who liked to have hot sauce burgers all the time he prefer sweet things or food with cheese on it like pizza. Mostly he limited how much sweet things he eat to when he really felt like it as being around ChoCho with it was asking for hell. One thing that bothered him about sweets was he need for it when using medical ninjutsu but that wasn't too days problem./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Al. We need to concentrate."Rose said as she spotted Albus's loving look at the Chocolate frogs./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Concentrate on what?" Albus asked wondering if she'll let him buy just one Chocolate frog as he was missing Agrippa and Ptolemy cards to name a few./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "On who we choose to be friends with. My mum and dad met your dad on their first Hogwarts Express you know..." Rose answered expectedly./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "So we need to choose now who to be friends with for life? That's quite scary." Albus said wanting to put it off for as long as possible./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""On the contrary, it's exciting. I'm a Granger-Weasley, you're a Potter – everyone will want to be friends with us, we've got the pick of anyone we want." Rose told him dreamily./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"'You're joking right? Damn she not like Sardra at all after all she worse than. Well she wrong I don't want to be friends with a snotty brat at all' Inojin thought as he watch her pull Albus away from the trolley letting him get to it. The Trolley Witch didn't have anything he known as he'd expected but what she did have were Bettie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Chocolate Frogs. Pumpkin Pasties, Cauldron Cakes, Liquorice Wands, and a number of other strange things that seem interesting to try. Not wanting to miss anything, he got several of everything and paid the woman before following the two./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "So how do we decide – which compartment to go in ..." Albus began to asked use to this selfish from her./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""We rate them all and then we make a decision." Rose tells him as Albus go to the nearest compartment and gets a nod from her Albus opens a compartment door – to look in on a lonely blond his – Scorpius – in an otherwise empty compartment. Albus smiles, Scorpius smiles back./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Hi. Is this compartment ..." Albus asks./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "It's free. It's just me." Scorpius tells them happy that someone may be his friend well hopefully./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Great. So we might just – come in – for a bit – if that's okay?" Albus asked put Rose plan into action./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "That's okay. Hi." Scorpius answers./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Albus. Al. I'm – my name is Albus..." Albus says to get the conversation going./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Hi Scorpius. I mean, I'm Scorpius. You're Albus. I'm Scorpius. And you must be..." Scopius replies nervously as Rose's face is growing colder by the minute./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Rose." Rose says frosty. 'Ok what's her problem now.' Inojin thinks at the cold brush off the girl was give made it a little to clear to him she thought the occupant of the compartment was trash./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Hi Rose. Would you like some of my Fizzing Whizzbees?" Scopius asks as she seems pretty to him./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "I've just had breakfast, thanks." Rose replays in a repulsed tone./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: normal;""I've also got some Shock-o-Choc, Pepper Imp and some Jelly Slugs. Mum's idea – she says (emSings/em), 'Sweets they always help you make friends'(emhe realises that singing was a mistake/em). Stupid idea probably." Scopius continues./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: normal;""I'll have some...Mum doesn't let me have sweets. Which one would you start with?" Albus asks trying to get along with him. Rose hits Albus, out of sight of Scopius but in full site of Inojin who they have still not notices behind them./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm .0001pt 35.45pt;"'Alright let's see how this plays out.' Inojin thinks as he sinks back a little more into the shadows./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: normal;""Easy. I've always regarded the Pepper Imp as the king of the confectionery bag. They're peppermint sweets that make you smoke at the ears." Scopius tells Albus./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 35.45pt; line-height: normal;""Brilliant, then that's what I'll – (ROSE hits him again.) Rose, will you please stop hitting me?" Albus turns to her with a frown./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "I'm not hitting you." Rose denies it. 'Of course you are not just like it's not ChoCho fault when she take food of others plate when they take too long to eat in her view.' Inojin thought like Rose's less and less by the mint./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "You are hitting me, and it hurts." Albus tells her not take the unknown hint from her. Scopius's face falls as he understands what she's doing./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "She's hitting you because of me." Scopius tells Albus in a quiet voice./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "What?" Albus asks still not understanding./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Listen, I know who you are, so it's probably only fair you know who I am." Scopius says sounding hurt./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "What do you mean you know who I am?" Albus asked not getting what's going on./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "You're Albus Potter. She's Rose Granger-Weasley. And I am Scorpius Malfoy. My parents are Astoria and Draco Malfoy. Our parents – they didn't get on." Scopius carefully explains./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" 'The kid your uncle told your cousin here to beat in very test on the platform while you were worrying about what school house you'll be in.' Inojin thought as he'd had no trouble recognising the kid./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "That's putting it mildly. Your mum and dad are Death Eaters!" Rose declared like she was a saint. 'And that as what to do with you? Nothing as it has no importation's at all. My Dad was a root member no one cares as they too busy gazing/drooling at him or inviting him to have a cup of coffee which is more than what your dad get.' Inojin thinks as he place it in turns of Konohagakure groups to make it more relevant to him as he was now sure things were in motion and he would soon be a part of it./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Dad was – But Mum wasn't." Scopius says as Rose looks away, and he knows why she does prompting him to go on. "I know what the rumour is, and it's lie."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Albus looks from an uncomfortable Rose to a desperate Scopius asks, "What – is the rumour?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "The rumour is that my parents couldn't have children. That my father and my grandfather were so desperate for a powerful heir, to prevent the end of the Malfoy line, that they used a Time-Turner to send my mother back –" Scopius begins dreading the topic but refusing to cower away from the truth./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "To send her back where?" Albus asks not seeing what it has to do with him./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "The rumour is that he's Voldemort's son, Albus." Rose says bluntly as a horrible, uncomfortable silence fall on themem./em "It's probably rubbish. I mean...look, you've got a nose."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"The tension is slightly broken, Scopius laughs, pathetically grateful. 'Why are you grateful? That bitch believe the damn rumour and will presumably be spreading it when she leave this compartment? Who your parents are is none and I mean NONE of her business. And in all probability not smallest thing you have way too much of your dad's genes to not be his son.' Inojin thinks as he feels annoyed at the way the girl act better than them./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "And it's just like my father's! I got his nose, his hair and his name. Not that that's a great thing either. I mean – father-son issues, I have them. But, on the whole, I'd rather be a Malfoy than, you know, the son of the Dark Lord" Scopius says as he and Albus look at each other and something passes between them./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm .0001pt 36.0pt;""Yes, well, we probably should sit somewhere else. Come on, Albus." Rose says as she sees a way to escape. Albus is thinking deeply replies, "No (off Rose's look), I'm okay. You go on..."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Albus. I won't wait." Rose says in a threatening tone./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "And I wouldn't expect you to. But I'm staying here." Albus tells her as Inojin come up having heard more than needed plus his too irritated to stay silent anymore./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Excuse me Miss Queen of the world who's tail gating on her parents accomplishment and not her own. You're blocking the door and you're rude if you were going to display your bitch complexes there's no need to do it in front of the open door. And please forgive me you un-holiness but I have no desire to ever be your friend as your ego is far too big and disgusting to tolerate for long. By the way if his parents couldn't have kids it would have been imposable for him to be the Dark Lords as unfortunately the chance is higher that female is unable to conceive then it being with the male's contraption. If you had any real medical knowledge you know that and you problem know it would be genetic imposable for him too look so much like his dad as no spell could do it either.. Oh and most people know that to keep a blood line pure or to keep it from ending the heir must be a male with current head's bloods DNA so being some one else's kid blood wise won't work. How low is you're I.Q. to not know this?" Inojin tells her not even bother to hide his exasperate at her or his knowledge on genetic as it wouldn't be getting back to his parents so he had no reason to hold back at all./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""I am not un-holiness nor do I have a big ego, also I didn't believe the rumour in the first place. Who do you think you are? You are younger than me by two years what are you doing on this train?" Rose demanded angry at the smaller girl./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Oh? Let me repeat your early words back to you see as you have been ignoring me for a while and this is I think the eighth or ninth time I've ask to be let by you, 'I'm a Granger-Weasley, you're a Potter – everyone will want to be friends with us, we've got the pick of anyone we want. I rate them all and then I make a decision.' Say hello to merger ego and riding on parents accomplishment at the same time and anyone who's friends with you on that aren't real friends. 'That's putting it mildly. Your mum and dad are Death Eaters!' first off ego alert, second off rude than rude, third offence total take even if I don't have any Death Eater parents however due to those who do jobs like my folks aren't treat as hero unless they like save the world and fourth can be taken as confirmation as to believing rumour due to you not even caring to get your facts right which even a outsider from another counter like me can identify in seconds. I'm a new transfer student in the first term at the start of the term not that it matters. Just cause I'm a slight smaller and a foreigner doesn't mean I'm too young for the my first year." Inojin stated as if talking to a slow child of five while twisting a kniana in his finger where just Rose could see. Rose looks at Albus a second and then leaves the compartmentem./em/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Fine!" Rose declares with a livered look at the odd blond who simply walks in and stalls his truck next to Scorpius's truck and take out a book from it to read as he sit down./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" Scorpius and Albus are left – looking at each other – unsure./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Thank you." Scorpius says too both./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "No. No. I didn't stay – for you – I stayed for your sweets." Albus says embarrassed./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "She's quite fierce." Scorpius says trying to be polite to his new possible friend./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Yes. Sorry." Albus says worried that Rose will be even more upset with him/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "No. I like it. Do you prefer Albus or Al? And um what can we call you?" Scorpius asked them as he gins and pops two sweets in his mouth./p

He also had Modern Magical History and The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts and Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century in his trunk and a few other advance spell book so clearly someone was overestimating his capable.

At least mom won't worry as I haven't gone anywhere but for the next seven years, how is that going to work.' Inojin singed and pick up a chocolate frog. There was a card as he'd guess. It showed a man's face. He wore half-moon glasses, had a long, crooked nose, and flowing silver hair, beard, and moustache. Underneath the picture was the name Albus Dumbledore. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Hey Jin, can I have one of them? I might get Agrippa." Albus asked careful looking at the girl who had outsmarted his cousin. The girl only passed the four that she put early down in front of him close with a help yourself gustier at him as she turn the card around to read the back:/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;"FORMALY HEADMASTER OF HOGWARTS /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;"Considered by many the greatest wizard of modern times, Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;"Professor Dumbledore enjoyed chamber music and tenpin bowling./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Um not that I'm ungrateful but why did you defend me? Are you muggle born by changes?" Scorpius decides to ask the pretty girl who was defiantly pretty then Rose had been./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;" "Ok let's get all the fact out the way so that we can enjoy these sweets and the rest of the trip without faults pretends. Chakra runs in my family from both side as far as we know, I guess your um country would say the 'magic gene' instead of chakra so let say I'm either a pureblood or half-blood depending on how you want to look at it. My clan normal keep our um spells within the clan so we don't really study outside the village. The village I come from um offer help in dark time but it's um kind of a hushed thing that only the top people get to know about in the country so they often mistrusted us as we are asked to um infiltrate um circles like the Death Eaters and will um portray the members to um the law enforcement who um hired us. I guess you could say were neither good nor bad but that depends on which side of history you stand. I have no idea why they agreed to this transfer only that the last battle make it possible and that my folk's were give hero awards. So I guess you could say I'm like both of you as I come from a village that look down on like having Death Eaters family but my forks are heroes like hers or Albus's parents." Inojin said as he force, what little information he had on them and this world to work with the truth of his. It works well as both boys nodded and move on to the pile of mostly his sweets now./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Soon he had not only Dumbledore and Morgana, but Hengist of Woodcroft, Alberic Grunnion, Circe, Paracelsus, and Merlin. He finally tore his eyes away from the Druidess Cliodna, who was scratching her nose, to open a bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. Albus picked up a green bean, looked at it carefully, and bit into a corner. "Bleaaargh —Sprouts." /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"They had a good time eating the Every Flavor Beans. Inojin got toast, coconut, baked bean, curry, grass, coffee. Albus was even brave enough to nibble the end off a funny gray one Scorpius wouldn't touch, which turned out to be pepper. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"The countryside now flying past the window was becoming wilder. The neat fields had gone. Now there were woods, twisting rivers, and dark green hills. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"It was getting dark. Inojin could see mountains and forests under a deep purple sky. The train did seem to be slowing down. Then his fellow mates started staring nervously at him and their trunks. Finally Albus voice their problem. "Um we should um change. Scorpius and I will go to the bathroom first if you don't mind."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Why we're all BOYS you know?" Inojin answered as he took off his white overalls and purple pull jacket and pulled on his long black robes which to his relief were the boys set but he also finds the girl skirt in it, 'Well I could have fun leaving the other student guessing at my gender and great they not staring at me changing'. As the other two follow suit think 'He a boy? But how come his so pretty then? Wait why he putting the skirt on too?' "Hey Sev, Scor. You two mind not telling the other I'm a boy? It's kind of a test in my village for others to correctly guess genders when like me the apparent could be either or to be more accoutred it consider to be impolite to ask what most believe to be obvious. In my village it really obvious that I'm a boy so knowing that same think that I'm not matter as it says where I stand." /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Both boys nod as their new nicknames sound neat coming from this unusual kid not that they have long to question it or even understand what he meant./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"A voice echoed through the train: "We will be reaching Hogwarts in five minutes' time. Please leave your luggage on the train; it will be taken to the school separately." /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Albus's stomach lurched with nerves and Scorpius, he saw, looked pale but the small boy look just as he had when he first came in as if nothing could scare him as he was so over this. They crammed their pockets with the last of the sweets and joined the crowd thronging the corridor. The train slowed right down and finally stopped. People pushed their way toward the door and out on to a tiny, dark platform. Inojin shivered in the cold night air./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Then a lamp came bobbing over the heads of the students, and Albus heard a familiar voice: "Firs' years! Firs' years over here! All right there, Albus?" Hagrid's big hairy face beamed over the sea of heads. "C'mon, follow me — any more firs' years? Mind yer step, now! Firs' years follow me!" Slipping and stumbling, they followed Hagrid down what seemed to be a steep, narrow path. It was so dark on either side of them that Inojin thought there must be thick trees there. Nobody spoke much./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Yeh'll get yer firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec," Hagrid called over his shoulder, "jus' round this bend here." There was a loud "Oooooh!" The narrow path had opened suddenly onto the edge of a great black lake. Perched atop a high mountain on the other side, its windows sparkling in the starry sky, was a vast castle with many turrets and towers. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""No more'n four to a boat!" Hagrid called, pointing to a fleet of little boats sitting in the water by the shore. Albus and Scorpius were followed into their boat by Inojin but no one else want to share their boat as Inojin appear to have a sharp object in his hand that seem a little dangers to be next to. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Everyone in?" shouted Hagrid, who had a boat to himself. "Right then — FORWARD!" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"And the fleet of little boats moved off all at once, gliding across the lake, which was as smooth as glass. Everyone was silent, staring up at the great castle overhead. It towered over them as they sailed nearer and nearer to the cliff on which it stood. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;""Heads down!" yelled Hagrid as the first boats reached the cliff; they all bent their heads and the little boats carried them through a curtain of ivy that hid a wide opening in the cliff face. They were carried along a dark tunnel, which seemed to be taking them right underneath the castle, until they reached a kind of underground harbour, where they clambered out onto rocks and pebbles. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"Then they clambered up a passageway in the rock after Hagrid's lamp, coming out at last onto smooth, damp grass right in the shadow of the castle. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-indent: 36.0pt; line-height: normal;"They walked up a flight of stone steps and crowded around the huge, oak front door. /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;""Everyone here?" Hagrid raised a gigantic fist and knocked three times on the castle door. /p
