Albus Potter and the Foreign Hope: Harry Potter and The Cursed Child Sequel

CHAPTER 1- The bodies

HARRY LEANED OVER ANOTHER BODY WITH THE THROAT SLIT OPEN. He sighed as he covered the body with a shroud and addressed one of his Aurors.

"Seems like a muggle murder, Turpin," said Harry "Why are we interested in this?"

"Sir, he was a wizard," she informed "I've seen him many times in Diagon Alley."

"Who is he and where's his wand?" asked Harry. Turpin pulled out a bag with broken pieces of wood inside. Harry grimaced and shook his head.

"It's not the first one we've found like this," Turpin continued "Gilderoy Lockhart was found like this near the new pub in Cokeworth and Jacob Thornebury was found dead just outside the ministry."

"That's a pattern," huffed Harry "You know who to take this to. Or better yet, I'll take it to him. It'll give me a reason to visit"

"Sir, won't he have better things to do?" asked Turpin.

"He'll do this," Harry said, putting the body in a bag with an undetectable extension charm and apparating to his destination.

Albus took his patients green hand and examined it for a minute. Victoire stood right behind her daughter, whose skin had turned green, muttering something in French.

"It's all right Vicky," Albus said, smiling at his little niece "Let me guess, Uncle Fred or Uncle George gave you some candy and you turned green."

"It was supposed to wear off a while ago," said Victoire "It's been two days."

"Vicky, Lydia is a metamorphmagus," said Albus "If it doesn't change in a few days then just ask Teddy to teach her how to use her abilities."

"I know. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't harming her in anyway," said Victoire "Say thank you to Uncle Albus."

"Thank you Uncle Albus," Lydia said sweetly. Albus smiled at her and patted her head.

"You're very welcome and here is a Cauldron Cake for my favorite niece," Albus said, handing Lydia a cauldron cake. Victoire held her daughter's little hand and both of them left Albus's office. Albus went back to his desk to put away his healer robes and leave for lunch. Just before he left the office there was a knock on his door. Albus turned to the door and smiled at the man standing there.

"Dad," he greeted, embracing Harry "What brings you here?" 

"Hey Al," said Harry "How's the wedding planning?"

"I wouldn't know," said Albus "Lena and Rose are not letting me do anything." Harry nodded, and looked around the office.

"Well, I would be lying if I said I came here to check up on you," Harry said "I actually need a favor."

"What is it?" asked Albus "Need to get away from mum  because she's complaining about getting old?"

"It's only gotten worse since James and Audrey had baby Xavier," complained Harry "But that's not why I'm here." Harry looked around to make sure no one was listening and closed the door and continued "I need you to look at a body for me." Albus groaned and rubbed his forehead with his fingers.

"Dad, I could lose my healer's license for this," said Albus.

"It's a huge case," Harry persisted "I want the results as quick as possible."

"Fine," agreed Albus. He pulled out his surgery tools and Harry placed the body a table. Albus took a good look at the body while putting on his gloves but he soon found out that he didn't need to cut open the body.

"It's an indecent way to kill someone," Albus said.

"Yeah, why would a wizard cut open someone throat like that," said Harry, shaking his head.

"The throat?" Albus questioned "The cause of death was the killing curse. The cut in the throat was made afterwards. That's why it's so clean."

"That's so twisted," Harry commented.

"Any idea who this is?" Albus asked. Harry shook his head.

"Thank you for looking at it for me," said Harry.

"Next time you want to visit, bring me chocolate, or flowers, or just come empty-handed," Albus joked "Just don't bring me a dead body."

"Will do," chuckled Harry. He left Albus's office, taking the body with him. There was another knock on his door and a girl with blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes walked in.

"Albus, I'm not feeling well. Will you take a look at me? I don't have an appointment though," she said pouting. Albus smiled and gestured for her to enter.

"What's the matter?" he asked, playing along.

"My head hurts," she answered "And I miss my fiancé."

"Well, he's a lucky guy," Albus said "What did you say your name was again?"

"Lena Delacour," she answered "But it's going to change to Lena Potter soon."

"Lena Potter. I love it," Albus said, kissing his fiancée "How's the wedding planning going?"

"Slow," admitted Lena "I just tried on seventy-five wedding dresses and finally selected one."

"Ooh, can I see it?" joked Albus. Lena gave him a look and slightly smacked his arm.

"I just saw your father leaving, what did he want?" Lena asked "And why was Lydia green?"

"Uncle Fred and Uncle George gave her some candy," explained Albus "And dad wanted me to take a look at a body. He said he wanted the results faster. How was work?"

"It was fine," Lena replied "I sold Liam his first wand today. He was so ecstatic. I swear I've never seen him happier." Albus smiled at the thought of his little mousy brown haired nephew buying a wand. Everyone was moving forward with their life. Rose and Scorpius got married a few months ago. Teddy and Victoire had two kids, Liam and Lydia. Even James had a son who was born a few weeks ago and now, Lena and Albus were getting married.

"I should let you get back to work now," Lena said. She gave Albus a small kiss and started to leave. "Dinner, at Rose and Scorpius's today. Don't forget." she said as she made her way to the door.

"Lena one thing," said Albus before she left "I love you."

"I love you too."
