The morning of the New Year everyone was in a great mood, for they all felt like 'a New Year is a new start'. Albus and Felicia grew closer, as Quinn and Fred were hanging around together all the time, and Tyler was mostly sitting alone, reading. Nobody spoke to Tyler about the thing, but he was happier at the Burrow than at home, for he knew his father would never accept him being gay. His father, Oliver Wood, used to be a good friend of Albus' father, Harry. Tyler was supposed to be picture perfect: he should have a good spot on the Quidditch House team and he should need a nice girlfriend. He didn't have either. Tyler said he suspected his dad would kill him if he knew, so he wasn't ready to tell him.

When the entire family went off to Diagon Alley, Albus, Felicia and Tyler were allowed to stay home. So, Tyler sat in their room reading, and Felicia and Albus were hanging around in the living room - after chatting for a few hours - watching a movie.

"Do you think Tyler will be okay?" asked Felicia, and Albus shrugged.

"He doesn't know the family knows, so I s'pose." he answered.

"Shouldn't you tell him?" she asked, and Albus shook his head.

"I don't want to get him any more troubles. Can we just, like, continue to watch the movie?" he said, and Felicia sat up.

"Al, calm down, he'll be fine, you just said it." said Felicia, and she kissed him.

Albus broke the kiss. "I should go and talk to him."

"No, you don't" he said, and she kissed him again. This time, Albus went with it. He wrapped his arms around her, and deepened the kiss.

"We're home!" exclaimed Ginny, and the pair stopped kissing. "Hey there!" said Ginny, as she entered the room. "Do you guys need anything? Cookies, popcorn?"

Albus shook his head. "We're just going to go upstairs now." he said, and took Felicia's hand and pulled her after him. They sat on his bed for a while, then Albus spoke again. "Hey, umm. I think were about to play our annual Family Quidditch Match. Let's just go downstairs." Albus said.

Albus had been right. They were about to pick teams. Victoire and Teddy wouldn't play, as Victoire was very pregnant.

"Alright. I'm the captain of team Red." Said Fred, and he looked around at the crowd of Weasleys, Potters, Scamanders and the others. "To make it fair and square, James the captain of the other team. I'm the Keeper, he's the Seeker. I'm going to pick first. Quinn, you're my Chaser."

"Alright. I want Chris on my team as my Chaser." Said James. Both did as they were told.

"Okay, I want Lorcan and Lysander as my Beaters." Stated Fred.

"That's not fair! But now I get to pick two as well, so I pick Hugo and Louis. For Beaters." Said James, annoyed.

Albus looked over to Tyler. According to talent, he'd be chosen soon.

"Molly. Seeker." Said Fred, and Albus could see the disappointment in Tyler's eyes.

In the end, the teams were as following:

Blue: Fred (Keeper), Molly (Seeker), Lorcan & Lysander (Beaters), Quinn, Lily and Dominique (Chasers)

Red: James (Seeker), Lucy (Keeper), Hugo & Louis (Beaters), Chris, Roxanne & Albus (Chasers)

Everyone got ready and the adults stood next to the field to watch.

"Alright teams, here we go!" Exclaimed George, before he threw the Quaffle in the air.

"Alright people, the Annual Family Quidditch Match, team Red versus team Blue. Quinn and Dominique are soaring across the field and Quinn scores! Lucy did not keep the Quaffle from going through the hoop. The Seekers are not yet in action, but Quinn is soaring to the hoops again but she misses! Roxanne caught the Quaffle and throws it to Chris who scores!"

Albus shifted on his broom. He probably was the worst flyer of the family.

"And a Bludger hits Lily, nice work Louis! Quinn has the Quaffle again, she gets ready, and scores! 20-10 for Team Blue. Lorcan sees the Bludger, and smacks it away from Quinn."

The Bludger came soaring towards Albus, who didn't see it coming, so he jumped in fright. He hung from his broom but regained his grip quickly.

"Albus is ready again. Quinn throws the Quaffle to Dominique, she throws it to Lily and she scores! What a lovely game for Tean Blue this is. The Seekers have not yet seen their Snitch but James and Molly are both flying around in search of it. Quinn scores again! Here we are, 40-10 to Blue. Yet, it seems Team Red is flying towards the hoops to score and... they succeed! Chris scored! Lily now has the Quaffle and is flying towards the other side."

Albus saw this as his chance. He flew towards where Lily was, and right next to her. Then, he quickly grasped the Quaffle from her hands. She yelled in anger, but what Albus did was legal. He flew backand quickly threw the Quaffle back to Roxanne. She scored.

"Nicely done! 40-30 for Team Blue. Yet, Team Red is coming closer! Watch it, Blue. But Quinn doesn't let someone win this easily, she soars to the other side and makes it 50-30. Well done... hang on, it seems as if James has seen the Snitch! Yes, he's definitely seen something Molly hasn't."

James was soaring after the Snitch when the little thing quickly descended. Molly was now following James, and they dived after it. Albus knew James would catch it. He was the best at diving. Even though James was mean to Albus sometimes, he did love his brother. And if his brother dod great things, Albus would definitely be proud.

"James and Molly are diving lower, lower, lower! Molly decides she should go up again but James is nearly on the ground.. He catches the Snitch and soars up again before landing neatly Team Red wins!"

Everyone was clapping and smiling, and everyone was excited for the next day, when they would be going back to Hogwarts.

The next morning they woke up early, as the train leaves at exactly eleven o'clock. Albus was carrying his trunk to the Weasley Bus before getting in. He had some Galleons in his pocket for in the train. He sat down in the back seat, next to Felicia, and pecked her on the nose. She smiled. As everyone got in, they left.

***

When they arrived Ginny gave Lily a quick lecture about being good and nice and not do anything bad, while Albus ran through the barrier between platforms Nine and Ten.

He, Felicia and Tyler sat in a compartment as Quinn sat with Fred and his friends, and Rose with Chris.

When the train began its journey, Albus asked Felicia if he could talk to Tyler for a moment, and she went out to the bathroom or something.

"Tyler, I have to tell you something."

"Your entire family knows. I know." He said, and Albus bit his lip.

"I'm sorry, okay?"

"I just feel with you going out with Felicia, and Quinn with Fred, it's as if we're not friends anymore.. I just wish you guys would stop snogging and go on adventures again. Didn't Karkaroff say they are building a new Dark Lord at the Malfoy's? Well then, why don't we go and talk to Scorpius about it. He used to be our friend, you see."

Then the compartment door opened and Rose came in, her eyes red and puffy. Albus figured she wouldn't want to talk about it, but Tyler wasn't the best at seeing that kind of things.

"What happened? Are you okay?" He asked, and Rose nodded.

"Turns out Chris only went out with me because his dad wanted to see my mum and have a reason for it. He just ended it." she said, when Felicia came in again. She sat down and took Albus' hand.

They were talking about classes when a small girl with pigtails came at the door.

"Hi, I'm looking for members of the Slug Club." She said, and the four got up.

They walked to compartment 24, which was the dinner compartment they went to last time as well. There, they enjoyed drinks and chocolate Frogs, while listening to stories of the other Sixth Years.

But, the journey ended quickly, and they arrived at Hogsmeade Station soon. They got in the carriages, and rode towards the beloved castle.
