Destiny

The hogwarts express

~Zoe~
(After the 19 years later (book) sene)
Like what was said yesterday, I went and waited for Albus to find me on the train. It took about 10 minutes but he finally walked in with 2 extra people following him inside.
"Hi" he mumbled.
"Oh so this is your girlfriend?" a boy with black hair and emerald green eyes asked with a cheeky smirk on his face.
"She's not my girlfriend!" Albus snapped. He then turned to me "that's James, my brother". The boy with Black hair bowed dramatically.
"I'm Rose" said a girl with brown curly hair and brown eyes wile she stuck out her hand.
"Zoe" I introduced myself, shaking her hand.
"Well see ya kidily winks, I'll see ya round hogwarts" James then walked out of the cabin probably to go find his friends.
We sat in awkward silence for a few moments before we got a knock on the cabin door. "Hey cous" max said.
"You again?" I rolled my eyes "this is a demon free zone."
"Good thing I'm too good looking for any ugly demons to come and even think about attacking us".
I stared at him in confusion for a second "you make less sense than my owl, and her favourite meal is a single peice of spaghetti rapped around a mouse".
"How did you even find that out?" Albus asked, his face turning a little green.
"You don't wanna know" I mumbled, slowly shaking my head dramatically.
"Well can I come and sit in your cabin?" Max groaned "my legs are getting tired".
"Awwww does poor wittle baby wanna nap?" I teased.
"Hey! That's not very nice! I'll tell on you" he said with the most un-serious look on his face causing us all to laugh.
He finally came in and sat down next to Rose who hadn't said much yet. And now we were back to the awkward silence.
That's when I noticed the peice of parchment hanging out of Albus's robes so I snatched it off him. "What do we have here? Maybe a love note? Or a shopping list?-"
"It's nothing really, don't read it" Albus pleaded.
"Why would a shopping list be interesting?" Max cut in.
I thought about it trying to find anyway I could disagree with him but I really couldn't so instead I read the note out loud, but quickly regretted it.
"When all seems right
When all seems fair
The world will turn to misery and despair
Unless the child of the brain and sea
Can unite the two worlds of demigods and wizardry
2 are more powerful than rest
The chosen child who hides in his fathers shadow
Will now have to rise up and merge all true crests
Their friendship marks the beginning
Their failure marks the end
Beware of the stab in the back
From someone you once called a friend"  I trailed off. "Oh, ummm I think this is your death poem" I said handing it back to Albus.
"After we heard it yesterday I thought we should right it down. You know, in case we forget it. I guess I didn't realise you could be so nosy" he looked mad, really mad.
"So that was-" max started.
"A prophecy" Rose finished. "Why do you two have it? Where did you hear it?"
Me and Albus looked at each other guiltily so I finally mumbled "we over heard our parents talking about it yesterday."
"We have to tell my mum-" she started.
In unison me, Albus and surprisingly Max all shouted no.
"Why not?"she asked grumpily.
"Well" Max spoke up "the prophecy is obviously about me."
We all looked at him dumbfounded.
"That's the dumbest theory I've ever heard" I calmly said.
"The chosen child who hides in his fathers shadow. I guess I'm the new chosen one".
"I've seen you and your father together. It's not you" I reasoned.
"Yes it is!" He yelled.
"Look it's more likely to be Albus-" Rose started and then her eyes widened. "It is about him isn't it? He's stuck in his fathers shadow, son of two of the most powerful witches and wizards alive- maybe the merge all crests verse refers to him having Demi-god powers".
"How do you know about that!" Me and Max yelled at the same time.
"My parents met some demigods at hogwarts a few years ago. They told me about them. And it's also in the prophecy".
"Oh right...Look Rose. Telling them won't do anything apart from reveal who the other person the prophecy refers to is".
"Well it would have to be the daughter of Athena and Posiden right?"
I looked over to Albus who seemed to be mentally cursing himself. "You ok?"
"Why did you take that from me? Now they know about the prophecy. But what if it was something else like a letter from my parents or something personal? You would have laughed at me?"
What he was saying hurt a lot, but he was right. It was his. A part of me thought that it would be funny maybe, that he would be the one laughing, now I just put more pressure on him. "I'm sorry. I did something wrong. I won't do anything like that ever again".
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Ok now that you too have decided to be friends again, can we get back to figuring out who the daughter of brain and Sea are?" Max complained.
"Well first, Rose are you still going to tell your mother?"
She looked at me like I was bonkers. "Of course I am!"
"Telling your mother isn't going to do much. It might just put me in more danger" Albus suggested.
"How?"
"Well whoever or whatever this threat is might catch a clue that we are chasing them. And if we don't catch them in time they might come after me".
"That is true" she mumbled "fine. I won't tell my mother yet. But once we find out what, or who the threat is I'm going strait to her ok?"
"Deal" we all agreed.
We sat there in awkward silence again. "So what house do you guys want to be in?" Albus asked, breaking the ice.
"The one I live in" I said, really confused.
Everyone else looked at each other and laughed. "No like hogwarts house." Rose started to explain. "There's griffendor, the brave and courageous. There's ravenclaw of wisdom and wit. There's hufflepuff of loyalty and patients. And last but not least, slytherin of cunning and ambition. I personally want to be put in ravenclaw" rose said proudly.
"I want to be in Griffendor like my whole family" Albus said.
"Yeah me too. Well not like my whole family. Like my father Jason Grace. My mother Piper McLean was in Slytherin".
"Oooo a relationship across houses? Interesting" rose giggled.
"So how about you Zo? What house do you want to be in?" Albus asked.
"Hmmmmm. I'd say hufflepuff" I decided.
The train started to slow down. "Well that's good" Rose started "because we're here."
Finally at hogwarts. Time to get the drama started wooooo. Please keep reading. Also this chapter may have been rather cringy, not my best work I'll admit but I'll try to make it less cringy in the future. Keep being awesome guys!
