Now, obviously, if you have read the Harry Potter Series, this makes perfect sense. If you have not (shame-shame) *-spoiler alert-* So, this starts out where book 7 ends, I know it seems like it should be on fan fic., but I am planning on making this as long as possible (aiming for book length) so please comment and crit.

Albus.

Chapter 1

Scorpius Malfoy.

Raindrops splattered across the train window as Albus watched blurred objects speed past him in the opposite direction. He soon broke from his visual trance and looked over at Rose, who once again had her nose in Hogwarts : A History. He has seen her reading that book almost constantly since her mother gave it to her for her eighth birthday! 'Like mother, like daughter,' he recalled his father saying.

A lump formed in Albus's throat as he thought about Hogwarts. The words of his father did not comfort him as much as he had hoped. He wondered if the Sorting Hat would take his opinion into account. 'Not Slytherin, not Slytherin,' he told himself.

All of a sudden, the door was flung open, and a girl with shoulder length, red hair peered in, "Have either of you seen a cat, it ran away from a girl named Molly?"

"No, I am sorry to say I haven't," said Rose, painfully tearing her nose from her book.

"Nor have I," answered Albus.

"Humph, who knew it would be this hard to find a cat. What the-" she was interrupted when another girl plowed her over, and continued down the corridor, "Molly!"

" I found her yelled back the girl apparently named Molly.

"Well then,- oh is that Hogwarts: A History?"

"Yes, I am reading it again though."

"More like memorizing it," joked Albus, and was met with a deathly gaze.

"My name is Lucy, I will be a first year," she announced, making a futile attempt to hold back a laugh.

"I am Rose Weasley, and that is Albus Potter," Rose informed her.

A look of shock formed on Lucy's face, "Rosie!"

"Oh my god, I am sorry, I did not notice you Lu," said Rose excitedly and hopped up to hug her.

Albus finally realized that it was Uncle Percy's daughter Lucy.

"I wish I could stay, but I need to go help my sister with her cat," Lucy said and then left.

Rose went back to her seat, and jabbed her nose right back into her book, only pausing shortly at times to push her hair from her face. She did not have much time to continue to be absorbed in her book, once another person showed up at their door.

"Hello, do you mind if I sit here, every where else if full?" asked the boy shyly.

"No, not at all." said Albus.

The boy sat in the seat along with Albus, "My name is Malfoy, Scorpius Malfoy, but I don't really like having the name of a constellation, so you can call me Malfoy if you want."

"My name is Albus Potter, and this Rose Weasley," he pointed out. He and Scorpius shook hands. Albus guessed she was refusing to look up from her book one more time.

Albus looked a Malfoy, he was pale, and had white hair with a pointed face that he found familiar. He wondered where he had seen him before. His thoughts were interrupted when a sound came from outside the door. They looked up and saw an old lady with a trolley of candy. Both boys walked up to the trolley.

"I will have one chocolate frog, licorice wand, and every flavor beans," he told her, "Do you want anything Rose?" she shook her head.

Malfoy had bought mainly the same thing except instead of licorice wands, he had cauldron cakes. They ate, and talked about some odd stories they had heard from their parents. Once the finished eating, they got in a deep conversation about Quidditch. Albus didn't really have a favorite team, he just liked to watch or hear of any of them play. Malfoy was dead set on Foulmouth Falcons, he had no clue why but that is just what he decided. Finally, after an endless conversation, Rose slammed her book shut.

"We should probably get our robes on now wouldn't you think?" she asked, to hopefully end the long guys only conversation.

They put their robes on, and by all three of them were ready, it was quite dark outside. After a while, the train came to a stop, and students began to shove their way off the train. Albus, Rose and Malfoy some how made it through the chaotic mass of black robed students and not get separated. Thankfully it had stopped raining for a while.

"Firs' years, Firs' years over here!" yelled a giant man to their left.

Their company of three were the first to walk up to him. Albus and Rose looked up at the giant, towering man, " Hello Hagrid," followed by a gasp from Malfoy on the sheer height of the man in front of him.

"'Ello Ha- Blimey Albus, you look like a spitin' image of Harry!" he turned to Rose, "An' Rose, you look so much like your mum as well!" he said in a sob, "An' who is this?"

"This is Scorpios Malfoy," said Albus.

There was a shocked look in Hagrid's hairy, aging face, "An' you all gettin' along?"

"Yes," Malfoy said and then suddenly backed off, a little embarrassed.

"Righ' then, Firs' years follow me, now don't wander.

They followed Hagrid down a narrow path, but it soon opened up to a large clearing that met a large black lake.

"Every one in a boat now, won' wanna' have to swim in this water for sure," Albus, Rose, and Malfoy all got into one boat. Albus seemed to notice that Rose did not enjoy the presence of Malfoy too much. "All righ' then, every one in? Righ'- FORWARD!" he bellowed, and the boats started to calmly float across the water.

Gasp's and wow's were heard from every boat as they approached the brightly lit castle. He had heard James and his parents talking about it, but nothing match plainly seeing it.

"Watch your heads now," said Hagrid, as they entered a cave-like waterway.

Albus tightened up, James had told him this. He said that the fist years, once they arrive, are taken by boat into a cave half filled with water, and are taken straight to the dungeon, and then are whipped as the Sorting Hat sorts you. Albus of cause did not believe him, and James was even scolded badly by it. He told him not to tell his brother and sister stories, mom would turn out like Grandma Weasley.

It seemed like they were being taken under the school, and they finally stopped at a rocky, underground harbor.

"Hold onto your toads every one, now follow me again," he said as joke that only he would get.

They made their way up a natural stone ramp, that lead to the Shadowed, blackened side of the school it was vary wet. They finally made it to large castle door, and with his enlarged hand, and wrapped on the door 3 times.
