The Next Generation: Albus Severus Potter

Pressure

"Albus! What are you doing?" I heard a voice exclaim.

I brought down the wand from my head. "Nothing."

I turned around and saw Teddy Lupin standing there. He must have noticed that I had left the Burrow and went after me.

"Well it obviously looked like something," he snorted.

"Well it wasn't," I retorted.

"Yes it was," Teddy began. "You were going to use the killing curse right there."

I growled. Why should he give a fuck?

"Why do you care?"

"Because you're my brother," Teddy said in a voice like he was speaking to a kindergardener.

I scowled once more, "I understand that. I just wanna get out of here."

Without any sort of warning, the man grabbed my hand and apparated inside of my house.

I landed face-first on the wooden floor in the family room. I groaned in pain; maybe my nose was bruised?

"Teddy?" Mum's voice echoed through the room.

"Yes Mum?" Teddy called back.

I noticed for the first time that instead of Teddy's normally electric blue hair, it was a red that you would normally associate with anger.

"What are you doing here?" Mum pondered aloud.

She walked into the room and saw me on the ground, laying on my back. I hoped that there wasn't any tear stains on my cheeks.

"Well, I just stopped your son from using the killing curse on himself."

Mum gasped and ran to me and pulled me in a hug.

"Al... Why?" Mum asked me.

I scowled, "Because you're better off without me."

I got up and ran to my room.

Now that I'm loosing hope, there's nothing else to show.

I just want to go away. Can nobody see that?

When I go to Hogwarts this year...

By Christmas, I'm not going to return home.
