Lie or Die

Chapter 2

Albert POV

"We're here" Remus said quietly, I was wondering why he couldn't transform and why I could transform into two animals, and why one was a phoenix, while the other was a hippogriff, maybe it had something to do with my parents. I know dad has a phoenix, and father's family has had special connections with hippogriffs, but why did even I have two forms.

"Ok" I replied, holding the blood pact closer to my chest, as we neared the castle.

"What are you holding under your shirt?" Sirius asked

"What? Oh nothing, just a necklace" I said, it was moslty the truth. The blood pact was in a necklace form. There was a long silence, until the train lurched to a stop in the station. 

We got off and walked to the castle I was amazed. It was so big; I had only ever been to dad's office. We walked into the Great Hall, and a professor walked up to me.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Smith, your dad wants to see you" The teacher said

"Oh, thank you sir" I replied as I started to walk over to the professor's table. I walked over to dad's seat.

"Since you don't have a house yet could you go to the back of the room and wait for your name to be called"

"Ok" I said. As I walked to the back of the crowd, I heard some people whispering, about me and my dad. After they called up every first year, then it was my turn.

"Albert Dumbledore" the lady called, and people whispered more, as I walked up, and the hat was placed on my head

'Ahh, Albert Grindelwald-Dumbledore' it said in my head 'You have the qualities of both a Slytherin and a Gryffindor' it paused 'But Slytherin could put you down the same path as your father' it said 'Hey, don't say those kinds of things about my father' I replied 'He's a good man'

"Confident, perfect," it said aloud "Gryffindor"

All the Gryffindors started to cheer, as I walked over to the Gryffindor table. I looked at my dad, he smiled back.

***Time Skip ***

After the feast dad said some words and dismissed us to go to our common rooms and dorms. I followed James to the common room, and almost immediately people started asking questions

"One at a time!" I screamed over all the voices "If you want to know more sit or stand around me in a half circle" As I was saying it people were quieting down and forming a big half circle. Once there was a good circle and it was quiet, I chose a first-year girl.

"Why didn't we know Dumbledore had a son?" She asked

"Because he is allowed to have a private life, and I don't want to be hunted down" I replied and chose a third-year boy next

"Why? I mean you're Dumbledore's son, surely you are powerful"

"Yeah, I'm powerful, but I'm still only a kid" That caused a little chatter, people wondering how powerful I really was "Quiet, if you want answers" everyone went silent. I called on a sixth-year boy

"Who's your mum" he asked

"I don't got one, my other parent wasn't a great person though"

"Why'd Dumbledore have a kid with them then?" A seventh-year boy asked

"I don't know, love?" I answered, knowing it would spark more questions, surely enough I was right. One seventh year boy was pretty upset, but I really didn't know. I don't know how my parents fell in love.
