Chapter 1: Mishaps at Diagon Alley

Albus's POV

"Albus! Watch out!" a voice from behind me called out. But it came a second too late and next thing I knew I was on the ground, a victim of over-excited first years. I quickly stood up and brushed dirt off of me.

"Albus, are you all right?" my favorite cousin Rose Weasley asked, her voice filled with worry.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just got lost in my thoughts," I mumble, hoping I wouldn't have to explain what I was thinking about.

A smirk grew on Rose's face. "Thinking about a certain Longbottom perhaps?

Blushing profusely, I stammered out "Why in the world would I be thinking about Uncle Neville Rosie?"

My cheek cost me a hard slap from Rose's delicate white hand. It amazes me how someone so small can create such force and strength. She would have made a fantastic beater if she weren't deathly afraid of heights.

"Hey! What was that for!"

"For being a complete idiot," she stated matter of fact like, "You know I was talking about Alice! You know, the girl you have fancied since the third year! Just ask her out already! We're about to start the sixth year Al. Make your move already!"

"You shouldn't be the one talking to me about asking someone out Rose! You've fancied a certain-"

"Who does Rosie fancy?" Scorpius Malfoy asked, interrupting my little rant.

"No one, No one at all," Rose replied a little too quickly while flashing the infamous Weasley blush.

"Now that you have finally decided to grace us with your presence," my voice oozing sarcasm, "Let's start collecting our school supplies."

The three of us started to walk around Diagon Alley. We have been inseparable since our first night at Hogwarts when Scorpius, by some miracle, mananged to get sorted into Gryffindor with Rose and I. We have been called the Silver Trio, a reference to my mum and Rose's parents who were referred to as the Golden Trio. Rose preferred to call us The Three Musketeers, which she tells Scorpius and me is a fictional muggle fighting team.

We strolled along for quite a while before reaching our destination, Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, Rose's and mine's Uncle George's shop.

"Rose!" A girl screams and runs up to hug the young witch. I realize that it's the beautiful Alice Longbottom, her best friend. With her long brown hair and crystal blue eyes, she and Rosie are the two most beautiful witches in our year. It certainly keeps Scorpius and I in detention a lot because we insist we must hex every guy who dares to look at them for half a second.

"Ally! It's been much too long! How has your holiday been?" Rose asked and the two of them started a long conversation.

"Come on Scorpius, let's see where the rest of the family is hiding out."

It didn't take long for us to find them. All we had to do was search for the group of people with vibrant red hair.

"Hey guys. Sorry we're late. Scorpius here decided to show up 15 minutes late."

A blush crept on his face (what's with everyone blushing?) and he looked at the ground. "I was combing my hair," he mumbled.

"Ooh, wanted to look spiffy for a certain gorgeous red head Scorpius?" my sister Lily said with a knowing smirk on her face.

At the comment, all of the cousins smirked with her, my mum and dad giggled, the other parents smiled at the beet red boy, and Uncle Ron's fist clenched and looked ready to pound the boy. He would have succeeded if it weren't for my Aunt Hermione holding him back, threatening to hex him if he lashed out at Scorpius.

Before Scorpius could reply, Rose and Alice came and joined the group.

"Hi everyone," Rose said, "Did we miss anything?"

While every kid replied with "Yes", Scorpius replied with a frantic "No", which caused, yet again, another blush to appear on his face, making his face almost match the color of Rose's curly hair."

"Alright, if everyone is finally here, lets start getting on with it," Uncle Percy ordered, always being the one to organize all of us.

Our big group left the magical (no pun intended) store, and set off. All around me, my family was talking about all sorts of things. Uncle Percy and Aunt Hermione were talking about some new wizarding laws and how they would affect house elves, Uncle George was chatting with my brother James and cousin Fred, both seventh years, about a new prank with mischievous smiles on their faces, Aunt Audrey, Aunt Angelina, and Aunt Fleur were all discussing how cute Scorpius and Rose would be together, Scorpius said something which made Rose giggle, which made Uncle Ron take out his wand, ready to hex Scorpius, but thankfully my mum, dad, and Uncle Bill stopped him just in time, Lucy, Molly, and Roxanne were conversing about Molly and Roxanne's upcoming N.E.W.T.' s, and Lily and Hugo were talking about Gryffindor's quidditch team this year. The only people who weren't talking were Alice and I. This was my chance to talk to her.

Umm, hi Alice," I say nervously as I twiddled with my fingers, Ugh, I was acting like such a girl.

"Hi Albus!" she replied enthusiastically.

"So how's your summer been Ally?"

"Pretty wild. Mum was getting on Daphy's case a lot. You know how mum gets when she gets stressed out or we are at the house for too long." Oh yes, Aunt Hannah did get a bit snappy when there were too many people in her house. But she is used to being home all by herself with Daphne and Alice at Hogwarts and Uncle Neville teaching Herbology there.

"How is Daphne been doing? Excited for her fourth year at Hogwarts?"

"Ecstatic actually. She plans on trying out for Quidditch this year," Alice said with her enchanting blue eyes glowing.
'Beater, I presume. Never will forget the day when Daphy sent a bludger my way so hard I was at St. Mungo's for week while the Healer grew back the bones in my arm," I quietly chuckled, "I'm all for her trying out as long as she isn't using me as her practice Chaser."

"I'm sure I can arrange for that to not happen. But I'm pretty sure she wouldn't even dare try it again. Mum yelled at her so bad that I think the memory has scarred her," she said with a beaming smile.

After getting lost in her smile for a few seconds, I decided that it was time to buck up and finally ask her out. From what Rose has told me, Alice has fancied me almost as long as I had fancied her. So I took a deep breath and hoped this would go the way I wanted it to.

"So Ally, I have been meaning to ask you something for a while now. Actually, ever since the middle of third year," I manage to get out without stuttering.

"Yes?" her ears immediately perk up. She is now giving me her full attention. Anticipation is almost bursting out of her.

Well, um… I was kind of wondering… would you like to…. Perhaps… maybe go-"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" My terrible speech is cut short due to piercing screams coming from a few yards behind us.

We all immediately turn around with our wands at the ready, seeing what happened.

"What's going on?" asked Lily, clearly terrified.

"I'm sure its nothing sweet heart. Everything is-". Before Aunt Audrey could finish her sentence, screams and shouts for help were ringing in the air. Hexes were flying and so were green and red streams of light.

"JAMES! GET THE KIDS OUT OF HERE!" Uncle Harry screamed, knowing that something terrible and potentially deadly was going on.

But before James had time to react, hooded men and women wearing black cloaks were right before us. My heart dropped. Death Eaters.

"PROTEGO!" every one of us bellowed, shielding us from the curses that were coming towards us. In a blink of an eye, a full on battle had ensued.

My dad and Uncle Ron were each dueling three Death eaters on their own. The furrowed looks on their faces scared me. If they had something to worry about, them being the top two Aurors working for the Ministry, then I should be scared out of my mind.

"Incarcerous! Silencio!" A death eater fell before me. He was now silenced and being bound with ropes.

I quickly looked around to see some of the damage that had been done and my heart quickly dropped once more. Fred, Dominique, and Hugo were all bleeding heavily. Louis, Uncle Bill, Molly, and my baby sister, Lily, were all on the ground, not moving. Rose was casting out hexes like a mad woman after Scorpius had almost been hit with the Cruciatus Curse. We were badly outnumbered. My attention quickly turned to my mum and the death eater she was dueling.

"Sectumsempra!" my mom yelled out, the hex narrowly missing the death eater.

"Avada Ke-"

'GINNY!"

"EXPELLIARUMS!" I quickly yelled out before the death eater could finish saying his. His wand flew out of his hand before he could finish casting the curse on my mum.

I pivot to see my dad look at us with horror, clearly processing what just happened and what could have happened. Then a look of rage filled my dad, a one I've never seen.

"CRUCIO!" The death eater immediately flew into the air and started screaming in pain that he most definitely deserved.

I once again survey the battle scene and I see that some death eaters are starting to retreat after seeing what my dad did. But the ones that stayed behind were using more force than ever.

"Ferula. Ferula. Ferula," Rose quietly mumbled as she makes bandages and splints for the ones that are bleeding.

"Silencio!" I cry out at a death eater that was bout to attack Rose. The death eater glares at me and then directs his attention back to Rose. A purple jet stream comes out of the attackers wand. I watch as Rose yelps in pain and then crumples to the ground.

"Rose!" I see Scorpius running full force towards her, casting nasty hexes at anyone who tries to stop him.

"Stupefy!" Scorpius cries out and the death eater falls on the ground in a heap. I rush to Rose and Scorpius to see the damage of the purple hex.

"What spell did they use?" Scorpius says, his voice almost begging, as he examines Rose's body.

"I don't know I silenced him and then he casted a non verbal spell at her." I say while trying to hold back tears.

"What color was the spell?"

"Purple."

Tears immediately begin to pour down his face as he starts to clutch Rose's non-responsive body.

"ROSIE!" I hear Uncle Ron's scream filled with horror as he runs towards his daughter, much like what Scorpius did.

"What happened!" His scream was filled with agony and pain as he looked at his only daughter with tears.

I retell the down-scaled version of the story for him, knowing we don't have a lot of time.

"No. NO! Not the same one as 'Mione!"

Before I could ask him what he was talking about, I saw Alice running away from the leader of the pack of vile death eaters. I bound towards her, coming to her aide.

"Stupefy! Stupefy!" Two death eaters fall to the ground before me.

I'm about a foot away from her when I hear the head death eater call out.

"CRUCIO!"

"NOOOOOO!" I lunge in front of Alice, taking the Unforgivable Curse for her. The pain is excruciating. My screams fill the air as Alice silently sobs next to me, her wand not with her. I see the look of helplessness on her face before I have to close my eyes again due to the horrendous pain. The hooded man starts laughing maliciously and he casts the curse on me again. And again. And again. The pain is quickly becoming too much and I can't even scream anymore.

"AL!" Even though I know my dad was screaming, I could barely hear anything. Suddenly, the pain vanished and I was in a heap on the dirty ground, just like I started my day.

The battle abruptly halts and ends when the death eaters see that their leader is on the ground. They get around the bodies of the fallen death eaters and Apparate with them away.

My eyelids flutter open for a few seconds. Everyone who isn't inured is around me with horror-stricken faces. My eyes catch Alice's for brief moment. Her beautiful crystal blue eyes are red and puffy due to crying. That's the last thing I see before I black out.
