Many generations after the war that made Harry Potter famous a new generation is beginning their path into the world of magic. Wizards and witches in the ministry are talking about lifting the statute of secrecy that has been protecting them for so long. The muggles have access to technology that are discovering more and more secrets that have lain hidden from their eyes. More and more muggles are giving birth to magical children and discovering the world themselves. Being "pure blood" is now incredibly rare as people are accepting that love can be found in other locations besides long standing wizard families.

The year is 2200 (to make it easy) and it is the middle of the summer. Letters have gone out by owl to children across the country to say they have been accepted into Hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and wizardry. Though, things are a little different than they were when the famous Harry Potter was in school.

One such change is that most classes are combined into one large class. Some classes like Potions and Herbology have Theory class, as well as practical lab classes. The lab classes are separated by house so that the teacher can focus on more individualized work due to the dangerous nature of the things in the class.
Older students in year 7 that are looking to teach in the future often come to these labs as teachers assistants as part of their more focused class schedules in their final year.

7-9:30 Am Breakfast is in the Great Hall
9:45-10:45 AM: Class Block One
11 Am - noon: Class Block Two
Noon-One : Lunch and Owl deliveries
1:15-2:15 PM: Class Block Three
2:30-3:30 PM: Class Block Four
3:45-4:45 Pm: Class Block Five
5-6 Pm: Class Block Six
6-8 Pm: Dinner
10 PM curfew, no students allowed in the halls



@ littlewhitedragonlet: I have the schedules for all years, but I figured we only need year one for the moment. I haven't picked all teachers, figured we can fill that in as we go just so we have it. you know.. make it up the first time they go to a particular class. I'll be posting my characters bio in my next post.

Childhood Recap: Albert grew up well, thanks to being the main branch of the Black family due to Harry Potter reinstating Andromeda Tonks as a Lady of the House of Black after the War. This made Theodore “Teddy” Lupin the Heir to the Black Family, and Lord Black upon Harry’s death in 2156, at the ripe old age of 176. When Teddy died in 2179, he made sure to leave his family secure and more wealthy than the Black family had been since they pledged their loyalty to a madman.
Albert has known very little external hardship, as no one dares talk badly about him, the honorary great great grandson of THE Harry Potter.
However, his muggleborn mother insisted he be tested for ASD when he was 5 years old. At the age of 9, he officially has an Autism Spectrum Disorder. He gets very annoyed when doctors try to insist to his parents that its okay because he is one of the “high functioning ones”. They have gone through many doctors, since he was diagnosed.

Albert hummed a tune happily, the hand not holding Hedgie's cage playing with his necklace. His parents knew he'd get his letter, of course. The changing hair and eyes were a dead giveaway. His grandpa Teddy had left an instruction book on how to get more control over the metamorphic abilities in the Black Vaults, so that there were no future generations who went to school unable to control them even slightly. He was glad; his hair changing with his mood would have been bad around his mum's family. They were all muggles and didn't know about magic.

Sitting in what he had now dubbed his compartment, he swung his legs and looked out the window to see his parents. Spotting them, he let go of his necklace to wave excitedly. He would miss them, and Hogwarts would be a lot of now things to deal with. He wasn’t really looking forward to the first month, if he was being honest...

He twisted around quickly as the compartment door opened, coming face to face with a small girl. "O-oh! Hello! Are you...are you looking for...somewhere to sit?" He got out awkwardly, feeling nervous.

He bit his lip, wringing his hands together as his gaze dropped down to staring at them. Oh no, she wants a handshake. What am I supposed to do? Okay think think…what had dad said to do if someone wanted to touch him but he didn’t know them? This is a horrible time to forget something Dad said. What was he supposed to do?

He suddenly looked up at her, eyes wide and slightly panicked, as he realized almost a minute had passed and he hadn’t done anything but sit and fidget. His next words, and to be fair his next tangent, leapt from his mouth, barely pausing for breath between sentences and leaping topics.

“I’m so sorry! Uhm yes, yes you can sit here! You don’t need to drag your luggage anywhere, I don’t know what I would have done if Dad hadn’t helped me get mine up. Oh! Do you want me to help you put your trunk in the overhead racks? It’s just you might want to take out a book or something ‘cause I’m not sure if we’ll be able to talk the entire train ride and I’m rambling now, I’ll be quiet sorry.” He’d stoop up during his ramble, reaching for her trunk before he stopped moving at the end of his word vomit and seems to curl in on himself, as if trying to become smaller.

Al watched Nadiya from under his bangs, happy to see that she wasn’t upset, though the giggling was a little off putting. Maybe it was a girl thing? His cousin didn’t giggle, but then again she was older. So hopefully it was perfectly normal and he hadn’t done anything silly or stupid yet. He brightened and stood taller as she talked, nodding when she mentioned being a first year and trying to hide a blush in his shirt collar when she said thanks. Al fidgeted a bit while she stood silently twirling her hair, before rushing into action as soon as she had gotten her book out and securely closed her trunk.

“Oh! You’re interested in cooking? Do you think you’ll like potions? I know some people say they’re a lot alike so maybe that’ll give you a leg up. Not That I think you need one! Oh dear…” He puffed up his cheeks slightly, biting his bottom lip, before exhaling in a long breath.

“Do you want to put your trunk on the overhead racks now?” He smiled bashfully at Nadiya.

Albert was a bit confused about Nadiya saying she had avoided potions at home. Should he ask? Or was this one of those things his parents said was inappropriate to ask someone about if you didn’t know them very well? Urk…better be safe and not ask. Always good to avoid offending people you want to be your friend…

“Oh!!! I want to be in Hufflepuff. Though Ravenclaw would be good too!!! Honestly I think any of the houses would be fun to be in…they’re supposed to become like your family no matter where you end up, right?” He smiled shyly at Nadiya, shuffling his feet a bit after they’d gotten her trunk up. After a beat he bit his lip before plopping back down where he’d been sitting, stuffing his hands under himself to avoid fidgeting with them.
“What house do you want to be in?”

He got the feeling that he was going to be confused about a lot of things his new friend said. Maybe she had an older sibling she didn’t get along with? His cousins were always fighting…Albert supposed that if he had siblings he might not want his house to be like his father either.

“Well, I’m sure you’ll get in whichever house you want! I don’t think they can force you to go somewhere you really, really don’t want to be.” Albert laughed nervously, hoping it didn’t sound forced. Why was talking to new people so hard?

Albert watched Nadiya worriedly, concerned for her. Maybe she had a bad family like daddy said some people had? Hopefully they weren’t though…bad families were really mean, like when that one lady was yelling at her kid for dropping his ice cream when he was bumped in to by an adult.

“I promise I won’t hold it against you! Even if we’re sorted into different houses we’ll still be best friends, right? I’m not gonna let some silly hat or silly people tell me who I can hang out with.” Albert puffed up his cheeks in indignation, getting a stubborn look in his eyes as if daring anyone to try.
