Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here Albus is about to commence his journey to be a student at Hogwarts, not knowing what awaits him once he gets there…and the FATE that would meet up with him.
And the events from the end of last chapter would also continue where another FATEFUL EVENT is set to take place…which might happen sooner or later…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 2: Unmeinodeai e no jokyoku
The scene shifts at the Ministry Of Magic where Newt went to see Minister Granger and gave her the information he obtained about what happened recently, and there Hermione was somewhat concerned as she never thought that the three culprits would be that daring and that they have no qualms in harming innocent civilians yet she is baffled as to what the three attackers' motives are, and there she asked Newt if he is able to find out more, which he apologized as he said that the information he obtained was all he could produced.
"So that's the information you managed to obtain?"
"Regretfully, yes."
"I see."
"I apologize…that's all I could…"
"Its okay, Mr. Scamander. We appreciate it "
"If you like…I would go back there and try to gather more information…"
"Much appreciated."
"Then I'll be…"
By then his grandson, Rolf Scamander came and politely interjected, saying that he interviewed some of the survivors and according to Rolf, he said that some of the survivors say that the three attackers resembled women who appeared to be close to 19 and 20-year olds, and that the attackers appeared to be looking for someone, possibly a man carrying something.
Newt and Hermione glanced at Rolf and asked him for confirmation, which the latter said that what he just told them is based on the statements of the survivors, and he brought out his wand and used magic to SHOW THE IMAGE of the survivors' thoughts where they saw the images of Clotho, Athropos and Lachesis, which made Newt and Hermione feel more concerned as they believe that they are now facing a trio of outlawed magic users, which neither Newt or Hermione recognize.
"That's them? They're the ones who caused that incident?"
"Blimey…I don't recognize any of them…"
"Those are the images I got from the eyewitnesses, Minister…grandfather. They appeared to be NEWCOMERS...and from my impression they do not appeared to be affiliated with the Death Eaters."
"I see…"
"Looks like we got ourselves a trio of delinquent troublemakers…"
"Looks like it."
"Still, we can't ignore this. We must find and stop them."
"I agree. Rolf, thanks for providing such important information."
"No problem, grandfather."
After that Hermione held an emergency meeting with the Ministry officials and from there they began a serious manhunt for the Three Dark Sisters, and much to Hermione's frustration, the Ministry were unable to locate the Three Dark Sisters, as the Ministry spent about ten years finding them, to no avail.
-x-
Following the ten years of relative peace, in which the Three Dark Sisters have not resurfaced following their last attack, the scene shifts at King's Cross station, where it is shown that it is September, and the scene shifts inside, where so many people are moving around, until the next scene shifts at Platform 9 ¾, where several families are escorting their children towards the Hogwarts Express as several children, many of them about 11 years old, are about to attend their first year at Hogwarts.
There you can see a lot of parents, majority of them alumni of Hogwarts, which includes the following:
- The Potter Family
- The Weasley Family
- The Malfoy Family
- The Longbottom Family
The next scene shows that the Malfoy Family, consisting of Draco, his wife Astoria, and their only child, Scorpius, are already there and Scorpius looks around, as this was the first time he get to come to such a crowded place as his childhood was married by consenting isolation due to a FAMILY SITUATION which Scorpius understood the reason why.
Upon seeing the Malfoy family, Ron jokingly tells Rose not to get too friendly with Scorpius and urged her to beat him in all tests and even at Quidditch, which Rose obediently obliges, only for Hermione to twist her husband's ear, sternly telling him not to make their daughter into a haughty bully, saying that she and Ron are now grown-ups, hence they shouldn't let their children inherit their school day animosity from yesteryears, much to Ron's physical discomfort due to his ear being painfully twisted.
Ronald Weasley!"
"Ow-ow-ow-ow!"
"You better stop that right now! And I mean this instant!"
"Ow-ow-ow-ow! Blimey, Hermione!"
"You listen well! What happened during our school years between us and Malfoy are in the past! And we're already pad6 that history! So please don't teach our child to become bully! Draco Malfoy is now a behaving person, so don't teach our daughter to antagonize the younger Malfoy!"
"Okay, okay! Just let go of my ear!"
"Hmph."
"Blimey…"
Moments later, the Potter family arrived, which consists of Harry, Ginny, their children James, Albus and Lily. Since James is two years older than Albus, he is now attending his third year while Lily couldn't since she is not at the right age yet, thus she can only accompany her two older siblings along with her parents, though she got used to seeing some magical shenanigans.
As James rush off to head for the train, Albus stopped to try tying his shoelaces, and Harry decided to assist him, and there Albus confided to his dad about his worries about getting sorted into Slytherin, though Harry assured to him that he has nothing to worry about, saying that some people he knows came from Slytherin but became good persons, reminding his son that he is named after one of two headmasters, specifically Severus Snape, whom Harry said that Snape was a brave man who played a crucial role in saving the Wizarding World.
"Albus Severus Potter…you are named after two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them is a Slytherin…and he's the bravest man I ever met."
"Like you say that I am…"
"The Slytherin house would make good wizards. You have nothing to worry about, so be at ease. But listen…if it means so much to you…you can choose Griffindor."
"Really, dad? I can?"
"Yes. The Sorting Hat takes your choices into account. Just like what happened to me when I started studying at Hogwarts. The Sorting Hat wanted to sort me into Slytherin but I wished for another house and I got sorted into Gryffindor."
"Really, dad?"
"Yes, really."
"…"
After hearing that Harry saying that he can ask the Sorting Hat to consider his choice, Albus became relieved, and there the father and son hugged before the conductor announced that the train would depart in a few minutes, and thus the Hogwarts students began boarding the train, which Albus, Rose and Scorpius boarded as well.
As the train is ready to depart, Albus and Rose say goodbye to their parents and board the train, with the latter excited while the former is worried about what lies ahead, as he wondered if he could make friends due to him being the son of Harry Potter though he wondered how James was able to make friends last year even though he is Harry's first-born child.
Scorpius glanced at the window where Draco and Astoria nodded at their only child, and Scorpius nodded as his gesture shows that he is assuring to his parents that he is going to be okay, though Draco is still worried that the baseless rumors might reach Hogwarts though Astoria is sure that their son will be okay.
"I already told you. You shouldn't fret over it, dear. It's better to ignore it since they are not true."
"Are you sure about this, Astoria?"
"Yes, Draco."
"Alright."
"Good. Then let's go home."
"Good idea."
"…"
"…"
Likewise, Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione wonder whether their children will be okay. Ron remembers his time at Hogwarts, and foolishly took shots at Draco, only to be PHYSICALLY REPRIMANDED by his wife as Hermione sternly reminded him what she told him a while ago, which Ron shrieked in pain as his ear is being twisted again.
Lily and Hugo watched the scene as they wondered what is going on, as the two kids are seemingly unaware of their parents' past time as Hogwarts students, specifically about Ron and the Potter's school days feud with Draco.
"Are mom and dad fighting again?"
"No. Looks like they're roughhousing…"
"Shouldn't they do that at the playground?"
"Yeah…"
"Should we stop them…"
"Okay."
"Lets go."
"Right."
-x-
About 10 minutes after the Hogwarts Express departed, the scene shifts inside the train, where cousins Albus and Rose are seen moving around, amazed to see a lot of Hogwarts students staying in several compartments, with half of them returning students and others are first timers, much like them.
"Wow…look at that…a lot of students…"
"Yeah, dad told me a lot but I didn't expect that it would be this many."
"Yeah, mom and dad said that this is where your dad…Uncle Harry came and met my dad…"
"Indeed."
"Looks like we'll be enjoying our first year once we arrive at Hogwarts."
"Hopefully."
"Lets go, Albus."
"Okay, Rose."
Albus and Rose wandered around the train looking for a compartment to sit in. Rose reminded Albus that their parents met on the train, so finding the right compartment to sit in was very important as they too could meet their lifelong friends here.
"Okay, Albus…you know the drill…"
"Yeah."
"We got to choose the right compartment."
"Yeah."
"And from there we might find the right friends before we arrive at Hogwarts."
"I understand."
"Good, so follow me."
"Right…"
There Rose noticed that there seemed to be a vacant compartment and told Albus that they should check it out, which be nodded in agreement, and upon opening the door to one compartment, Albus and Rose found Scorpius Malfoy sitting alone and introduced themselves to him, which he also introduced himself, which made her feel defensive upon remembering what her dad told her about Scorpius.
"Scorpius? As in the one who is said to be the child of the Dark Lord…?"
"Son of Draco Malfoy. Not THAT GUY. Whoever spread that rumors is one sick person."
"…"
"Rest assured…I'm a Malfoy and not a Riddle."
"Yet the rumors kept pouring out…"
"Well, you're free to decide, but the fact and the truth remains…I'm the son of Draco and Astoria Malfoy…not Lord Voldemort, whose soul is already ROTTING in the underworld…"
"…"
"Well, feel free to join me…"
Albus, however, did not feel any hostility towards Scorpius as he sat down and began to chat with him, leaving her flabbergasted and there Rose left to look for another compartment, because she thinks that Scorpius is nothing but ttrouble yet Albus decided to stay and accompany Scorpius, claiming that he is only here for the sweets and nothing more. The two kids struck up a friendship, sharing stories and sweets on the journey to Hogwarts.
Meanwhile, Rose decided to stay at the compartment where James is, and the eldest Potter sibling was surprised upon hearing what Rose told her about Albus sharing a compartment with Scorpius, which made James wonder what Albus is thinking.
"Seriously? My brother is fraternizing with a Malfoy?"
"Yeah."
"No way…what's Albus thinking?"
"No idea…"
"Albus might get into trouble given the rumors going about…"
"I agree."
"Maybe I should tell mom and dad about my brother hanging out with a Malfoy…"
"Glad I listened to my dad…"
-x-
After arriving at Hogwarts, Albus and his fellow students attended the Sorting ceremony. The Sorting Hat placed Rose in Gryffindor and both Scorpius and Albus in Slytherin, to the surprise of many, which Rose and James were in disbelief at seeing what just happened and wondered why Albus was sorted into Slytherin given that the latter didn't seemingly possess any traits of a Slytherin student.
"Oh no…"
"No way…"
"Albus…"
"My brother…sorted into Slytherin..."
"Had I known this would happen…I should have discouraged Albus from socializing with that Malfoy…"
"I better notify mom and dad…they need to find out about this."
"Same here. What would Albus do from this point on?"
"No idea…"
Albus was also in disbelief as the one thing he feared most was realized and he reluctantly sat on the Slytherin table with Scorpius assuring him that everything will be okay, though Albus just nodded as he could feel the piercing glares of other Slytherin students aiming at him, and he could hear them whispering behind his back.
"A Potter..."
"In Slytherin…"
"That's a first…"
"So what's new…?"
"Heh, a disappointment…"
"Who cares? He's just a son of Potter…that's all to it…"
"He's not even special…"
"At least he's not a MUDBLOOD…"
Unfortunately, after the Feasting Ceremony ended and the Hogwarts students are heading to their respective dormitories, the other students began to mock Albus for being a Potter in Slytherin, saying that he is now the BLACK SHEEP of his family and said that he is nothing like his dad.
James and Rose could do nothing as even the Gryffindor students also joins in on the catcalling as they said that Albus is nothing like James and Rose and berated Albus, telling him that he shouldn't have come to Hogwarts in the first place.
-x-
From the following weeks to several months, Albus' school life at Hogwarts worsened his morale as he was unable to make friends other than Scorpius due to them seeing him in low standards due to the fact that he got sorted into Slytherin, and as he discovered in his first year, Albus did not have a natural gift for magic and struggled in classes such as Potions. During his first flying lesson, Albus failed to demonstrate his flying skills and was subsequently nicknamed the "Slytherin Squib".
"Hah! He's a Potter yet he couldn't even summon a broom!"
"And he even has no magic!"
"He's a fraud! If Malfoy's the bastard child of the dark lord, then this Potter is an illegitimate bastard of a prostitute!"
"He's a Slytherin Squib!"
"Yeah, a Slytherin Squib!"
"Slytherin Squib!"
"Slytherin Squib!"
"Slytherin Squib!"
However, Scorpius, though sharing a similar situation due to the persistent, yet unproven, rumors that he is the BASTARD CHILD of Lord Voldemort, yet he simply ignored them because he knows the truth that the rumors are false, and there he told Albus to ignore what others said about him, which he just nodded in silence.
-x-
At the same time some unexpected chain of events took place somewhere else, and unlike what happened ten years ago, this incident took place away from Europe, where an unexpected scene shows that a man is on the run as he is trying to evade someone, which he is revealed to be the same man who escaped a massacre a decade ago, in which the man is revealed to be Fuga Kudo, and there he is fleeing for his life from a trio of sinister figures attacking him, who want the mysterious belt he is carrying that they say is "the key to opening the Door of Darkness".
The attacking trio turn out to be the same ones who are after him a decade ago: The Three Dark Sisters! There Athropos, Lachesis and Clotho demand that he surrender the items he is carrying or else be killed on the spot.
"Found you!"
"You can't escape us this time!"
"Now be good and…"
"Never! You won't have them!"
"Give it up."
"You know there's no chance for you to evade us…"
"So hand them over and…"
"You shall not have them! I will never let you have them!"
Fuga rejects their claim, stating he created the items to be the door that governs between life and death, "The Key of Hope". He then defends himself from the trio by summoning strange creatures to his aid to fend off their attacks and then summons a train creature called Steamliner to escape to the "Ouroboros Realm".
Though Atropos and Lachesis are dismayed that Fuga escaped again, Clotho assured to her sisters that they will soon find him and take the items for themselves and that their plans will eventually come to fruition which the other two nodded in agreement, as they are confident that they will find Fuga and kill him then take the items and use them for their malevolent plans.
"Be patient, my sisters. We will have them. That I promise you."
"Fine."
"Very well."
"Lets keep finding him until we corner him."
"Alright. I'm sure that we will succeed this time."
"Agreed."
"Then let's get going."
"Very well."
"I'm in."
Several minutes later, after managing to escape from the Three Dark Sisters, Fuga stops at a train station and summons a series of cards that the monsters reside within, selecting one of them, identified as Hopper1, to go with Steamliner to the human world to do a very important errand, which the two creatures nodded in acknowledgement.
"You know what to do…and this is a very crucial moment."
"Hopper…"
"Steam…"
"So please do what you could…"
"Hopper…"
"Steam…"
"Go and find the one chosen by fate!"
"Hopper…"
"Steam…"

Meanwhile, the scene shifts at Japan, which is an island country in East Asia. It is situated in the northwest Pacific Ocean and is bordered on the west by the Sea of Japan, extending from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north toward the East China Sea, Philippine Sea, and Taiwan in the south. Japan is a part of the Ring of Fire, and spans an archipelago of 14,125 islands, with the five main islands being Hokkaido, Honshu (the "mainland"), Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa. Tokyo is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Fukuoka, Kobe, and Kyoto.
The next scene shifts at a restaurant called Kitchen ICHINOSE, where a teenage boy named Houtarou Ichinose is making a custom bento box of Cucumber Hamburg Steak with Yuzu Pepper Mayonnaise, hoping it will make the customers happy. He tries it, but it is too spicy to eat.
His mother, identified as Tamami looks at the clock and tells him to hurry and get ready because he will be late for school. Houtarou rushes out the door, but not before promising his mother that he will help her more at work when he gets back.
"Oh, don't stress yourself, Hotarou..."
"It's okay, mom!"
"But…"
"Once I finished school I'll help you out…"
"Still…you should concentrate on school…"
"Its not a problem!"
"Hotarou…"
"Later mom!"
After he leaves, Tamami smiles at an old picture of her family, telling the unseen face of her husband that Houtarou is growing up to be just like him.
Much later, Houtarou makes it to Furasu High, but not before the opening bell and he is confronted by his teacher, identified only as Mr. Minato, about leaving the part of his career survey blank. Houtarou tries to explain he has not found what he wants to do yet, to which Mr. Minato says that he should take his future more seriously and decide a career path.
"You should prioritize your future."
"Well…"
"Its important…and crucial."
"Uh. That's true…"
"Then try to get serious on your studies."
"Yes, of course."
"Good. Now get going."
"Okay…"
The young lad tries to head to class, only to bump into a fellow student named Rinne, and fall down. He apologizes but she coldly says that he should know not to run in the hallway after helping him up, and acts like she doesn't know him. She refuses to turn in her career form to Mr. Minato when asked and heads to class. Mr. Minato says her career is already decided when asked what that was about, saying that she carries on an "ancestral family duty".
Houtarou thinks about what Rinne's responsibility is, spacing out in class and failing to get an answer right about the Renaissance when asked by Mr. Minato. Rinne, despite also daydreaming, answers correctly that it was a movement in 14th century Italy and goes deeper stating that among the developments during that period was research into alchemy about turning elements into gold. She then proceeds to throw shade at Houtarou for his incompetence in studying.
"Do you understand now?"
"Uh…"
"Studying is important."
"Er…yeah…"
"If you want to graduate…be serious. This isn't a playground."
"Y-yeah…"
"Hmph."
"…"
After class ends, Ryo Kajiki, Houtarou's occult loving friend, starts rambling about hearing monsters but is ignored as Houtarou goes to follow Rinne to scold her for the rude comment she made. He follows her to a building and sees her recite an incantation, which makes the stairs rise up higher using surrounding objects merging with it to reach a hidden room.
He tries to follow but can't get in when the stairs revert to normal. A nearby maintenance door opens up and he enters, with the door closing shut and the monster that Ryo warned about being nearby. Houtarou panics and thinks he is going to be eaten by the scary shadow on the wall, only for it to be revealed to be Hopper1 next to a light.
To Be Continued...
