Al noticed another boy sitting nearby, looking about as sad as Al did. If he recalled correctly, the boy was in Slytherin, and his name was Scorpius Malfoy. Al wondered if the other boy would want to be his friend. James had said Slytherins were bad, but Al did not think that could be true. Their dad had said that one of the Headmasters had been a Slytherin, and that he had been one of the bravest men he had ever known. Al had the best dad in the world and if he thought Slytherin was good, then it was.

“Hi, my name is Albus; mind if I sit here?”
“You can sit wherever you like. Your dad is Harry Potter, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Oh.”
“Why do you sound sad about that?”
“My dad said any son of Harry Potter wouldn’t want to be friends with any son of Draco Malfoy.”
“He’s wrong. I’d like to be your friend.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“You know how to play exploding snap?”
“Yeah, James and I played all the way here. He’s better then me though, but he is older, so he has more experience.”
“I’m pretty good, so I can give you some pointers.”
