A few days after the sorting, Albus received an OWL from Harry. Just the day before he had sent one to both his parents about the new happenings.
He opened it and began to read.

Al,
Im so proud of you making Gryffindor! Just like your parents. Im glad you made some friends already! If you ever wanted to invite anyone round at christmas for a day to 'hang out' or whatever you do at the age i would be happy for you to do that. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything or want to talk.
With love
Dad

Albus smiled and he put the letter into his draw, next to his bed. He shared a dorm with Scorpius and two boys named Maxi and Harley. Albus had also made and effort to be friends with Nicole Bones, she sort of reminded him of his Auntie Hermione. Brave, intelligent and funny. They got on pretty well.

A few hours later, Albus received another OWL, this time from his mum.

Albus,
We are so happy that you made Gryffindor! We are very proud of you and we are sure you will do well! Im glad you made friends but the last name Malfoy worries us a little bit. But anyway, we love you!
Mum and Justin

Albus half smiled half scowled at his letter. He knew fully well that Justin didn't give one flying fuck about him and Ginny probably had to bribe him into sighing his name at the end. And what was that about Scorpius being a Malfoy? He wasn't going to stop being friends with him because of something his mother said. Anyway, Scorp was his best friend and he wasn't going to leave him.
As Albus was having these thought, Scorpius had also received an OWL.

Scorp,
Its slightly annoying that you didn't get Slytherin but don't worry about it. Gryffindor is just as good. Im proud of you son. I can see you doing well in this house. Im happy you made friends and i cant wait to see you at christmas!
With love
Dad

Scorpius smiled. He was so happy that his father had excepted the fact that he was in Gryffindor.
Albus looked over to Sorpius, who had a small smile on his face.
"Your dad excepted you then?" He asked, sitting next to his best friend on his bed.
"Yup. I didn't want to be in Slytherin anyway. Not heard the best things about it."
"You know, my dad was nearly a Slytherin."
Scorpius looked up at Albus with a shocked face.
"What? Really?"
"Yeah. It was because he had a part of Voldemort soul in his body. And because Voldemort was a Dark wizard who used Dark Magic, it rubbed off into the sorting hats thoughts of his house." Scorpius flinched at the name Voldemort. He must of known a lot about him, though Harry had told Albus not to be afraid of the name so, as he was told, he wasn't.

It was the christmas holidays and it was Harrys turn to have the kids over christmas. A few days into the holidays, Albus came running into Harrys study.
"Hey dad?"
"Yes son?"
"Can i invite my friend over for the day?"
"Of course you can. As long as its alright with their parents."
"Ok thanks dad."
"Its alright Al."
Scorpius got at their house about 10 minuets after Harrys and Albus' convosation. Harry answered the door.
"Hello. You must be Al's friend." He smiled at the boy.
"Yes sir. My name is Scorpius."
"Well nice to meet you Scorpius, do come in. ALBUS!! SCORPIUS IS HERE!" Harry shouted up the stairs.
"Oh um, Sir? My father asked me to tell you that he wanted to meet you when he comes to pick me up. He does it whenever i make friends so don't take it personally." Scorpius said nervously, as Albus ran down stairs to meet his friend.
"Ok then, thats fine with me. Well, ill leave you two boys to it." Harry said and walked into the living room to play with Lily.
The day flew by and before they knew it, there was a knock at the door. Harry untangled himself from his small daughter and made his way to the front door. He opened it as his mouth fell in pure shock.
"Malfoy?!" He asked. Malfoy looked like a mirror image of emotions.
"Potter?"
