Albus hugged his mother and father before stepping on the Hogwarts Express with Rose. It had been nineteen years since Voldemort was defeated at Hogwarts. The story his father told him about defeating Voldemort was amazing and Albus hoped that he could be as powerful as his father, Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived.
"Are you Albus Severus Potter because you look like Harry Potter" said a girl pointing to his black, messy hair and looking into his bright green eyes.
"Um... Yes. Why do you care?" Albus asked the girl, looking to his left to see she was a fellow first year, but unlike most she was wearing Slytherin robes. Clearly the girl was set on being a Slytherin.
"My grandfather that your grandfather was a trouble making Gryffindor."
"Who was your grandfather?" asked Albus.
"Lucius Malfoy. And he also said that all of Potter's kin are trouble makers!" said the girl with a proud voice.
"What's your name?" Albus asked.
"Why do you care?" asked the Slytherin girl, mocking Albus.
"It's only fair that if you know my name then I should know your's," relied Albus, thinking fast.
"Well my name is Bellatrix Malfoy. Daughter of Draco and Pansy Malfoy.
The name Bellatrix rang a bell. Was that the name of he woman who tried to kill his mom, Ginny' and killed his dad's Godfather (The original Bellatrix's cousin)? It must have been, but why would anyone in their right mind name a living thing, Bellattrix. She was an evil woman who was in love with Lord Voldemort. Than the lord that his grandmother, Molly Weasely, took her life.
"Well I need to go find Rose. Um... See you at Hogwarts... Maybe..." said Albus, mumbling the last word.
"Hey I'm coming with you!" exclaimed Belltrix.
Albus turned around. He was very surprised that Bellatrix wanted to come with him. He was going to be a Gryffindor. Hopefully... Albus nodded and started walking towards the compartments. By the compartments he heard his brother, James talking to some of his friends.
"Did I just hear James Potter? I wonder what they're talking about..." said Bella.
"Let's keep going, they're probably talking about Quidditch because James is the Gryffindor seeker like our mom and dad were. I think I can hear Rose in the compartment ahead. Let's go." said Albus not wanting his brother to see him with a Slytherin.
Bella groaned and followed Albus. As they entered the compartment Albus saw a pale girl with long, wavy black hair sitting next to Rose, who had tan skin and fiery orange, puffy, long hair.
"Albus guess who I just met! It's Xeena! The daughter of Neville and Luna Longbottom! You know our parents friends. I was telling her about my parents and your parents. She was really interested in hearing my version of the story," said Rose as Albus sat down, but when Rose saw Bellatrix, her expression changed.
"Rose, this is Bellatrix Malfoy. The daughter of Draco and Pansy Malfoy. Yes, I know she's very intent on being a Slytherin, got a problem?" asked Albus.
"No... I'm just surprised you made friends with someone who's going to be a Slytherin and no offense Bellatrix, but this is a Malfoy."
"Well I do take offense, Rose and my family only likes pure bloods, so you should go try to wash your dirty muggle blood away, oh, but no offense." retorted Bellatrix, mocking Rose and then laughing.
"Bellatrix, let's try to be nice, I mean you can't say Rose is not a good wizard and just muggle blood. Look at her mom. Her ions helped my dad defeat Voldemort and she was brilliant. Hermione and Rose are the smartest people I know. Plus Rose's dad is a pure blood, but of course you might think of him as a blood traitor."said Albus defensively. Rose looked at Albus thankful and Bellatrix frowned as she moved her blond, straight from her shoulder, to her back.
"You sound like a Hufflepuff." said Bellatrix resting her tan face against the wall.
"Anyway, what kind of wand do you guys have?" Albus asked. "Mine has a Phoenix Feather core, like my dads," finished Albus, smiling.
"Well mines a Black Thorn," answered Bellatrix.
"I have a Holly Wand," said Xeena.
"Really?! Me too!" Said Rose excitedly.
"What house do you guys think you'll be in? I'm definitely going to Slytherin," said Bellatrix with the same proudness in her voice that the original Bellatrix was said to have.
"Well I'll be in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw," said Rose, staring at Bellatrix with disgust.
"I'm probably a Hufflepuff!" Said Xeena, happily.
"What about you Albus?" Asked Bellatrix.
Albus had shrank low in his seat, hoping to avoid the question, but clearly it didn't work.
"Um... I don't really know. I mean it be cool to be in Gryffindor, but I could be in another house, like Slytherin. I can talk to snakes like my dad."
"You're Parsel Tounge! Just like Salazar Slytherin! That's amazing," said Bellatrix, suddenly interested.
"Well whatever house you're in, Albus, well still be your friends," replied Rose, in a kind voice.
"If you can speak Parsel Tongue then you might be in Slytherin! Of course your family has only been in Gryffindor, so you have a big chance in being a Gryffindor. Anyway... What's it like to speak Parsel Tounge?" said Bellatrix.
"Well snakes don't say much, but I save my Uncle Ron's me rat, Peter, when a snake tried to eat it. That's when my dad told me I could speak Parsel Tounge. He said it was rare, but that he could do it too."
Bellatrix stared intently at Albus. she seemed very interested in Albus's ability. Maybe Albus would be in Slytherin, but was that really so bad? His dad said that the bravest man he knew was Severus Snape, but he was in Slytherin. Not every Slytherin turns out bad. Some live to be great wizards, leaders, or magical legends.
"Who are the teachers at Hogwarts?" asked Xeena.

(Author's Note: Sorry there are so many teachers. They are not really inmportant in the story, but I just thought this might intrest some people!)

"Proffesor McGonaglle is the Headmistress and the Transfiguration teacher. Proffesor Slughorn teaches potions and Proffesor Longbottom replaced Proffesor Sprout in Herbology (Author's Note: Yes Neville Longbottom does replace Proffesor SProut when she retires in J.K. Rowling's books.). Proffesor Flitwick is in charge of teaching Charms. I'm pretty sure Proffesor Binns, the ghost, is still teaching History of Magic and my grandfather, Proffesor Weasely, is teaching Muggle Studdies. Proffesor Trewlaney and Firenze, the cenetaur, teach Divination. Proffesor Hooch teaches flying for Quidditch and Proffesor Sinistra teaches Astronomy, which is good to know if you take Divination. Proffesor Vector is the teacher of Arithmancy and Proffesor Babbling teaches Ancient Runes (Authors Note: Bathsheda Babbling does exist as the Ancient Runes teacher in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, but they never mention her name in the book itself. The name is mentioned on J.K. Rowling's official site.). Argus Filch and his cat, Mrs. Norris, are the Caretakers at Hogwarts. Oh yes! I almost  forgot that Madam Pomfrey is the Matron, but she originally worked at Saint Mungo's Hospital, so shes really good at healing people. Althogh Im not really sure who's teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts..." Said Rose, sounding just like her mom, Aunt Hermione.

"I know who's teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. It's my father. Just you wait until he hears that Rose Weasely, daughter of Hermione Granger (Author's Note: Now it's Hermione Weasely beacuse she married Ronald Weasely- Ron Weasely.), didn't know all the teachers. He and I are going to have a laugh!" Said Bellatrix, maliciously laughing.

Rose, Xeena, and Albus stared at Bellatrix with their jaws dropped.

"Our 'Dangerous Creatures' book is written by my father. See," said Bellatrix, taking out the book and pointing to the authors name that was written on the bottom in tiny print

Albus noticed the fog clearing so that a large castle was shown. It was amazing. Albus's jaw dropped for the second time that day. Everyone looked out the window with him.

"Welcome ter Hogwarts! Firs years, come with me!" Yelled a deep voice that Albus's father told him about. His father said that this person always took the first years to the castle for the sorting. The voice must have been Hagrid's.
