Albus Severus Potter - Year 6 (Sequel to ASP & the Cloak of Wisdom)

Chapter 6: Godric's Hollow

Albus, Quinn and Tyler had decided they would go to Godric's Hollow by broom, but Albus couldn't fly - at least not long distance, so he would have to hop on Tyler's broom. Late on Friday night they left the castle, and soared up the air, wind blowing in their faces.

"Aren't Muggles going to see us?" Asked Quinn, but it was more of a scream, due to the roaring wind.

"They wouldn't think much of it!" Exclaimed Tyler, and they steered towards the little village.

It was a long flight, and they really were very tired, but Albus had enjoyed seeing Quinn fly the entire way. When they finally landed Albus used a shrinking charm on the brooms and stuck them in his backpack he had taken to stuff things from the house in.

They walked towards the ruin - there wasn't much left of it, just the first floor and a lot of rubble - and opened the little gate.

"Come on." He said to his two friends, and they entered.

He tried the door - which as he expected was locked - then used his wand to open it.

"Watch it, the house is probably very fragile." Whispered Albus, and he whispered a short Lumos.

The light burned their eyes, as they looked around. Rubble, rubble, and furniture. Albus passed a desk, where some papers were laying. When he read them, he tried hard not to cry.

Dear Padfoot
We don't know what to expect, except that Lily is pregnant again. She's not that far in, but we hope it's a girl, so she could look like her. She thinks another boy would be just as fun, and Harry is a lovely boy. He's a brilliant flyer on his toy broom, probably Seeker material. I hope you are okay, say hello to Wormtail for us, he's a brilliant man. He would never betray us, so once this war freezes over we can live happily ever after and we can hang out like earlier again. Also, about Wormtail, maybe we should swap secret keepers again, because should You-Know-Who try him, he'd lose his tongue. Send your

That was the end of the letter. It hadn't been sent. Albus had tears in his eyes, and thoughts flew through his mind. Would my grandparents have lived if this letter had arrived? Would I have an aunt at Dad's side? Would dad be happier?

"Albus? Are you alright?" Asked Quinn, and Albus nodded, biting his lips, not to cry.

Quinn took the letter from his hand and stuck it in his backpack, then took his hand and took him towards the little living room, where a toy broom stood against the wall. Albus performed the shrinking Charm, to bring it to his dad. There were a lot more things, and at some point Albus burst in tears and cried. Quinn hugged him, and even though Albus felt like he was standing against a 10000000V electricity cable, he still cried.

Quinn made Albus sit down on the couch, and Tyler still looked around a bit.

"Hey Al, you want to go back to the castle?" asked Quinn, but Albus shook his head.

"I-I want to g-go and r-read more l-letters. F-for dad." said Albus, and Quinn shook her head.

"No, we should go back, this breaks you too much."

"You guys, someone's watching us." said Tyler, and both Albus and Quinn followed him to the dusty window.

A man with a large nose and a bit grey hair looked at them, long hair and a big mustache stood a bit outside of the house with a pair of binoculars and was looking at the three, but when he noticed they'd noticed him he walked towards the little gate and came to the house.

The three pulled out their wands instinctively and stood ready to attack the man, when he entered.

"Hello, Albus." he said, and Albus wasn't crying anymore. He tried his best to look strong.
