The heir of Lestrange

Chapter 2

"Cissy!" Lucius called out. And out of nowhere a black haired woman came out. "Is this the boy?" Lucius asked the woman. She first looked at Albert and then at Dumbledore, "Why are you here?" She asked. 

"Narcissa, I have escorted Albert to your house, and I can say by no doubt that he is Bella's son," Dumbledore spoke softly. Only one thing was going on in Albert's mind. His mother's name was Bella or her nick name was Bella. 

"He has her eyes," Dumbledore said. "And his hair and face," Narcissa completed for Dumbledore. "It is the boy," Narcissa said finally. 

"Lucius, can I give you the job to make sure that he attends Hogwarts and has all of his stuff?" Dumbledore asked politely. Lucius just nodded, and Dumbledore teleported with a whoosh sound. 

Narcissa whispered to Lucius, "Should Draco know?" She said. Albert could hear very well. "Yes," Lucius replied. Narcissa didn't say anything but her expression told that she was not happy with Lucius's idea.

"Come Albert," She said, as Albert teleported inside the house. "First, I will let you know who I am," She said. "I am your mother, Bellatrix's sister. So I am your Aunt Cissy and that is your Uncle Lucius. Our son Draco, is your cousin and both of you will be attending Hogwarts together,"

Albert nodded. However, he didn't quite understand why was he supposed to live with them, when his parents were alive. Then came a drawling voice of a pale boy (around 11) who had a long face. "Mum, you are going to buy me a racing broomstick,". He said it as if he was sure he would get one, his expression itself told that he got everything that he asked for. His gaze fell on Albert. "Who is that!?" He snapped. 

 Cissy turned to look at the boy, "Draco, this is your cousin, Albert Lestrange," She said calmly. 

The next few days went quite normally, Draco didn't get a racing broom, however he was still making plans on getting one. One day Lucius got a letter from Dumbledore in which it read that it is not safe for Albus to go under the name of Lestrange, so he must go as Albert Adkins. They were going to Diagon Alley to buy their school equipment. They wanted Albert to be kept a secret, so they asked the house-elf Dobby to help him buy his stuff, as no one knew about him. But as a safety measure, they used a face transfiguration charm on Dobby to make him look like another elf by the name of Gordon. 

Dobby and Albert went by apparition (which was the teleportation thing Dumbledore would do)and reached Flourish and Blotts where it seemed as if the walls were made of books. After buying the books, they went to Madam Malkins, where they could see Draco talking to a boy who was roughly my age. I waited, and when Draco left they entered. The lady at the counter said, "Hogwarts first year?" 

"Yes," Albert said. "We have had quite a lot of customers, that boy was a first year too, and this young man here is one as well," The lady at the counter said. The boy nodded, he had round glasses and had a scar shaped like a lightning on his face. He was the Harry Potter. Albert gasped. "You're Harry Potter!" He said. "Yeah, I am him," Harry said. Albert and Harry talked about the Hogwarts Houses, and what house they will be in. 

"I bet I am in Hufflepuff!" Harry said. "I want to be in Ravenclaw, even Dumbledore said so!" Albert said. "Albert didn't want Harry to know about him, so he just told that he came from a pure-blood family (The Malfoys told him to say so,) but they died so he lives with muggles. 

It seemed as if Harry had the same thing too. "Did a huge man come to take you too?" Harry asked. 

"No actually, the headmaster himself, Albus Dumbledore came to take me," Albert said. Harry seemed to be a nice person, someone he could spill his secrets to. It seemed as if Dobby knew about this, "Master mustn't wait any longer, Master must go to buy his wand," Dobby said. So Albert and Dobby went to Ollivanders. 

An old man with wispy grey hair and sharp blue eyes came. "Hullo my dear boy, lets get you a wand. He said and took out a box from one of the shelves. If there was one difference between Flourish and Blotts and Ollivanders, it would be that in Ollivanders, it seemed as if the wall was made of wand boxes. "Beechwood, 11 1/2 inches, Dragon Heartstring, unyielding, try it m'boy!" He said. Albert held the wand gingerly. 

"But I don't know any spell," Albert said. 

"Not to worry, not to worry, you needn't. I sense that this wand does not like you," He said as he took out another wand. "Alder wood, 9 inches, Phoenix Feather, slightly stiff, but really powerful for Charms and spells," Ollivander gave the wand to Albert. and snatched it faster than he had given it to him. "No, not this one," Albert could hear him say the whole time. After 20 wands or so, a wand finally fit him. Laurel,  13 inches, Dragon Heartstring, rather swishy. And Albert left the shop happily, where he met into Harry again. 

"Is that your wand?" He asked. Albert nodded, as Dobby and him disapperated.
