Albus wanted to be brave like my father and mother. They were both Gryffindors. They fought Voldemort. Although he has heard of Voldemort, he has never came in contact with him, of course, since he was dead.

As Albus hopped on the train at station 9 3/4, he started to look for a place to sit. Harry Potter, his dad, said that he met Aunt Hermione and Uncle Ron, his best friends, the first time he went on this train. This buzzed inside his head. Albus wanted to meet his friends on this train, just like his dad.

"Hi, why don't you come sit?" said a boy from behind him. Albus turned around and saw two boys with short dirty blond hair. They were obviously twins. They had a sort of dream-like appearance to them.

"Er, hello. I am Albus Potter," he introduced himself.

"Blimey, son of Harry Potter? Well, I'm Lysander Scamander! This is my brother Lorcan," the boy replied.

"Actually, I'm Lysander. That's Lorcan," the other twin said.

"Is your sister Lily Potter?" Lorcan (possibly Lysander) asked.

"Yes, why?" Albus responded.

"Your sister is named after our mum. Lily Luna Potter, am I right? Mum told us," Lorcan (maybe Lysander) said.

"You're right!" Albus said as he took a seat. He knew that he would like those twins.

Throughout the entire train ride, they talked. They also ate piles of sweets when the food cart went by.

They exited the train together.

"Mum told us that the thestrals pulled the carriage," Lysander said in his dream-like tone.

Although Albus wondered what thestrals were, but he didn't want to question Lysander, or his sanity.

But, Lysander sensed Albus's confusion. "Thestrals are horse-like creatures. They are invisible to people who haven't seen death."

"But we take the boats over. So we won't be taking the cart." Lorcan explained.

"Okay, then," Albus said. Albus knew that Hagrid, the gamekeeper whom was his dad's friend when he was younger, would bring the first years across on the boats. This excited Albus, meeting Hagrid.

"Firs' years! Come with me," Hagrid shouted. Hagrid was large. He was half-giant, his dad told him. Hagrid has a scruffy beard and long, wild hair. At first, he looked a little scary. But at his second glimpse, he looked kind and caring.

They all followed Hagrid to the boats.

Then Albus remembered The Sorting. He became nervous again.
