Chapter 2 Posting
Another new chapter. I really love writing stuff in the Harry Potter verse. It's pretty awesome. I hope you like my next chapter. And you better leave a review.
Chapter 3: Classes.
Scorpius' POV:
The next morning came too soon. Albus was shaking me awake, straight from a pleasant dream about having Christmas with the Potters and Weasleys. Fred had burnt the ham and Rose managed to fix it with a charm that Alex told her about the week before. I pulled my blankets above my head, not wanting to leave the dream.
"Come on Scorpius. Professor Malfoy will be passing out times tables and I doubt we will be happy if his own son is late." Albus growled as he shoved me off the bed. I glared up at him from the floor, having never been a morning person I didn't appreciate the sudden awakening. Albus laughed and left me in the room alone with Matthew Donavan.
I walked out into the common room a few minutes later. It was under the lake, giving it a green tinge. There were many plush chairs around an impressive fire place and I spotted Albus watching as Fred and Apollo played Wizarding Chess. I frowned at the time as I sat beside Albus.
"I thought you said we were going to be late?" I asked grouchily. Albus laughed at my messed up hair and tried to push it down. "You look like me. Only I can have messy hair!" He said. I moved away from his hand and stuck out my tongue. Fred moved his piece and called "Checkmate man! That's the third time this week!" I chuckled as Apollo's frown deepened. "How do you do it?" He asked as we all stood.
"That, my friend, is a Weasley secret. First years follow me!" Fred said. Albus and I walked behind him as we headed to the Great Hall. Marcus was making faces ahead of us until we emerged in the hall and Fred turned to us.
"Go take a seat. Our Head of House, Professor Malfoy, will come by and give you your time tables. I will be leading you to your classes for the first few weeks. Memorize the way quickly, and remember to stick together." Fred said. I sat between Albus and Matthew and soon enough Dad came by with the times tables.
"I heard about last night. I'm sorry Scorpius. I should have been there to hex the Gryffindors. I can't believe that they would do that!" Dad said. I looked down at my plate and nodded. "Actually, it was the Slytherins that started it. I don't think I saw a single Gryffindor boo. I'm sure the Weasley clan made sure of that." Albus said. My Dad frowned and leaned down to whisper with Albus.
"Who started it, did you see?" Albus nodded and pointed to Marcus Walker. Dad nodded and hugged me. "Have a great day. I'll see you in your classes." I hugged him back and he left.
"Well, that was odd. What did Professor Malfoy want with you?" Fred asked as he sat across from us. I let Albus explain as I looked down at my times table.

5. Herbology w/ Hufflepuff (H)
6. Herbology w/ H
"Aw, great. Double Herbology later. Professor Longbottom will call on me to answer every question. Sometimes it sucks knowing the Professor." Albus groaned. I laughed and pointed to the double Potions.
"Oh! You get to see your Dad first thing! I have to wait for Saturday." I heard Albus say as I watched Dad chew out Marcus. Albus followed me gaze and snickered. "The git deserves it. Hey, Fred, did Uncle George give you any of those U- No- Poo toffees? Maybe we could sneak on into Marcus' food." Albus asked. I snickered and pulled one from my pocket. I tossed it towards Apollo, pointing to Marcus' plate. He nodded and slipped it in.
"Those things make you fart a lot. I can't wait to see his face in Potions." I said. The others laughed and I caught the Weasleys in Gryffindor giving us strange looks. Fred pointed to Marcus and faked farting. James was the first to get it and exploded in laughter. The others soon joined, even a few upper classmen who knew Fred did as well.
Potions came and went without the desired effect, though we did manage to get a Gryffindor girl to ask out Matthew. He sent us a glare and Dad smirked knowingly as he passed his cauldron. We had managed to just barely finish our Potion, a simple Boil Curing Brew, before Dad walked by. He gave us each five points and took points from Marcus when his turned an alarming shade of lime green.
Next was Charms. Rose preformed the levitation charm perfectly in only two minutes. Three minutes later Albus and I both shouted "WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!" Suddenly Professor Granger went floating towards the ceiling. "Albus! What did you do!" She shouted. I laughed as Rose gently lowered her Mum from the ceiling. We were all given ten points, even though we missed our feathers. "Excellent charm work boys. Just use better aim next time please."
After Transfiguration with a rather strict Professor McGonagall and some fun watching Albus squirm with Professor Longbottom in Herbology, we headed to dinner. James swung by and congratulated us on levitating Professor Granger and patted Albus on the back for the girl and Matthew earlier. "I don't think Fred even managed that much on his first day. Did you see what happened in the corridor?" James asked.
"No. We were following Fred all day so we didn't get lost." I said. He laughed and sat by Albus. I was surprised before I looked around the hall. The houses were mixing at the spate tables. A rather large group of Gryffindors were with the Hufflepuff, and a few Ravenclaw around the room. I guess they decided to forget house differences and just hang out. I can bet Professor Snape would have had a heart attack if he saw this.
"Well, by the Defense classroom Marcus Walker started complaining about stomach cramps. Then Peeves flew by and hit his stomach with a frizz be and Marcus couldn't stop passing gas. He started crying right there in the hall. Madam Pomfrey had to come and drag him down to the Infirmary. I can't believe you did that!" James said and I smirked.
"The U- No- Poo was extra strength. It was totally worth more than just five Galleons. I got to get some more of those." I said. We finished and walked out to the Black Lake to meet the others. Rose brought some girls from Ravenclaw and a few guys from Hufflepuff. One, Nathan, was a Muggle- born and showed us a bunch of cool action figures from something called The Avengers. My favorite was Loki and Albus said he would totally be a Slytherin.
We headed back to the common room and started on the Transfiguration homework. When eleven rolled around I retreated to our dorm with Albus and Matthew. We played some Exploding Snap before turning in. My last thought was, Maybe a Potters and Weasleys aren't half bad.
Hope you liked it. The next chapter will be up either today or tomorrow. Leave a review or I'll throw you to the Giant Squid in the Black Lake.
