Albus woke up because of people whispering. He rolled over to see who they were. Tyler and Luke.

"Morning." Albus whispered, making both jump.

"God, Al, you have to stop doing that." Tyler said, and Albus grinned. He sighed and got up to get dressed.

As he walked down the stairs he saw that Quinn was sitting by the fire with Fred, James in the corner of the room, glaring at them. Albus walked to his brother.

"What's the matter with you, sour-face?" he asked, and James looked at him.

"Annabeth broke up with me and Fred doesn't want to prank her new boyfriend. And only because he's so busy with your best friend." he grumbled, and Albus nodded.

Albus shrugged and continued walking, hungry for some breakfast. He started his long way down to the Great Hall, when he ran into Felicia.

"Albus! I wanted to talk to you." she said, and Albus rolled his eyes.

"Why?"

She sighed. "I want to say I'm sorry. For telling Quinn that she told me she would attack me, and for attacking you in the library, and for all the other things I did. But Al, I'm not bad. My parents split up when I was really young and Ervin went to live with my dad, but my mum was in France the day we broke up, so I had to live with my dad for a while. He's a menace, and told me that if I didn't help Ervin he'd kill me, and this time, he really did tell me." she said, and she sounded convincing. "Albus, I'm not saying we should be together again, as I understand you don't want to after I attacked you and nearly set your hair on fire, but can we please be friends again? Rose is too busy with Scorpius, and the others never really talked to me. You were the first to be nice to me. Can you please remember that day on the train? Think about being friends again?" she said, and Albus thought about it.

She would be a great help to the team against the Death Eaters, sounded convincing, and Albus had actually missed her a little bit. But that could also have been because of all the happy couples in his friend group. And, as he looked in Felicia's eyes, he could note sadness in her bright blue eyes. So, he nodded.

"Alright. I believe you." She wrapped her arms around her, nearly knocking him off balance.

They continued walking to the Great Hall, where not many people were sitting yet, as most people had their breakfast at 8, though Albus preferred to eat a little earlier. He sat down with Felicia.

"What made you say sorry?" he asked, and Felicia blushed.

"I got jealous of you and Quinn. I really did like you, Al. Even though I was really mean. I just thought that because you and Quinn were friends for so long, I really wouldn't stand a chance. And I'm sorry."

Albus chuckled. "You know, if you say it like that, I can really forgive you. I'm sorry too, for being oblivious. I didn't see you were jealous." he said, before stuffing his mouth with some toast with bacon.

***

A bit later Tyler and Luke entered. Tyler looked nervous.

"Tyler, what's wrong?" asked Albus.

He sighed and said: "My dad is going to come over here for some kind of conference nearby and he wanted to see me tomorrow."

Albus looked at him expectantly. "So..."

"So Tyler's going to tell him about us. That he's gay." said Luke, and Albus let out a whistle.

"See, now I get why you're nervous." said Albus, when Tyler's eyes landed on Felicia.

"Why is she sitting with you?" he asked, and Albus shrugged.

"She explained and said she was sorry. Plus, we really shouldn't be fighting about stuff like that right now, should we." Both Luke and Tyler nodded.

Felicia however, looked from one to another. "Wait, what?"

Albus turned to her. "I'll explain later, we should go to Potions, we have a test, remember?" he said, and Felicia nodded. The pair left the Great Hall, passing Fred and Quinn, who was looking at them angrily.

"What's the matter with her?" asked Felicia, and Albus shrugged.

"Maybe she doesn't like you, I figured that." he said, and she shrugged.

***

The Potions test was, according to Albus and Rose, fairly easy. However, most of the others had a hard time. And when Slughorn called time was up, everyone looked miserable.

"I totally failed." Felicia said, and Albus chuckled.

He stopped her from walking after the group of Gryffindors walking to the Transfiguration classroom. "Felicia, I want to tell you something. Luke, Tyler, Rose, Quinn, Scorpius and I have been working on a plan to defeat the Death Eaters once and for all. They are creating a new Dark Lord and want us to help - as Scorpius' friends in Slytherin - so we fake that. You should be part of our team." he said, and she looked at him with wide eyes.

"Wait, what? But, my dad's probably with them, and he'd recognize me." she said, but Albus shook his head.

"No, you should come as Felicia Bennett. We'll probably talk with the group later, so, you can come, if you want." said Albus, glad he had someone to talk to when Quinn was with Fred.

***

After the day ended - before they would have to go to the Astronomy tower for their class there at midnight - the group of now seven were sitting in the Room of Requirement with Harry. He didn't ask why Felicia was there, nor why Albus was suddenly not talking to Quinn about everything, but he spoke of the Elder Wand only.

"So." he said, as he waved his wand to the whiteboard. Rose's Plan. it said. "When were you expected to return to Malfoy Manor with news whether or not you succeeded?"

Scorpius answered. "Next Wednesday." he said, and added: "So we have eight days to figure out the next plan, including this evening."

Then Felicia spoke. "It's obvious, isn't it? If they don't find the Elder Wand, we're okay, nothing happens, and they can't get to full power, so we do what Mr Potter did." she said, gesturing to Harry.

"Felicia, I think I told you you can call me Harry." Harry said, chuckling. "Mr Potter makes me feel old."

"But that was when I was still Albus' girlfriend, which I'm not anymore." she said, and Harry shrugged.

"Call me Harry. But you're right, though I am one of the only ones who know where the Elder Wand is, I think they will find it. Tyler, last time we met up you said something about them trying to find the Resurrection Stone, right?" Tyler nodded. "Well, if we hide that, the Death Eaters will search for that before even choosing a Dark Lord. Thing is, I know about where it is, just not exactly. I believe I can trust all of you, but it's somewhere in the forest, near the old Willow tree, that really tall one. Centaurs probably trampled it, so it's buried." The seven all nodded, and Harry continued. "The original plan was for me to die a natural death so the Elder Wand would die with me. That plan will, as Luke is now the owner, fail. But we can make a wizard who is on the verge of dying have it." he said, and they nodded.

"But who?" asked Luke, and Harry sighed.

He waved his wand again, and current information appeared on the whiteboard. "We can either go to St Mungo's," he said, tapping his wand on the whiteboard, "or we can give it to someone we actually know."

"But dad," said Albus, "Almost all the people in St Mungo's are dying because of someone else. And we don't know people who are dying."

Harry nodded. "And that's why this is a bad idea, because we also need someone who is capable of defeating Luke, and we can trust."

The group sighed and started thinking.

"Why don't we just see what happens?" Scorpius said. "We don't have a good idea and it's easier to screw up when we try an idea we're not sure of then when we do nothing and see what happens. You defeated him once, twice, thrice, four times, five times, six, seven, eight times, why not again? Besides, we can hide the Elder Wand. Where is it now? We can bring it somewhere else." he said, and Harry nodded.

"It lies with Dumbledore. In his tomb. But I don't want you to hide it. I'll do it." he said, and everyone nodded. "Now, you had Astronomy at Midnight, so just go, I'll think of a place." he said, so the group left for the Astronomy Tower.

***

The next day was a Wednesday, and Tyler's dad would be coming around four, when they were finished with the Charms test. Albus knew he would get a good grade, as he had studied very hard and knew a lot of the answers. When the class ended Tyler jumped up and pulled Albus with him, saying "My dad likes you so you're great help." Albus waved at Quinn and Felicia, and pulled Luke with him. They were walking to the Quidditch pitch, where a group of teachers stood, including Madam Hooch and McGonagall. Harry was not to be seen. Mr Wood, or Oliver, as he preferred Albus to call him, noticed they were coming and waved.

"Hello there, Tyler. How are you? Do you want to go out to Hogsmeade? Your teachers are okay with it." he said, as the teachers returned to the castle, figuring some father-son time was in order.

"Actually, there's something I need to tell you." Tyler said, his voice trembling.

Oliver looked concerned. "What's wrong?" he asked, and Albus hoped with all his heart that Oliver would be okay with Tyler being gay.

"I-err. I.. I'm.. I don't. I have.." he started, but he seemed to be unable to get it from his tongue. Albus and Luke exchanged looks.

"Tyler, you know that you can tell me anything, right?"

Tyler nodded slowly. "W-will you promise n-not t-to get m-mad?" said Tyler, and Oliver sighed.

"I won't get mad." he said, as he placed his hand on Tyler's shoulder.

"O-okay. Here I go then. I'mgayandthisismyboyfriendLuke." he rambled, and Oliver raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't quite catch that right, I think. Can you say it again, only a little a lot slower?" he asked.

"I'm. gay. and-" he started, but Oliver interrupted him.

"Wait, what? You're gay? Very funny. You are not gay." he said, but Tyler looked at his hands.

"I am. And this is my boyfriend, Luke." he said, and Luke stepped forward, holding out his hand.

Oliver didn't shake it. "I don't want to know you. Tyler, you're joking. I've known you for a very long time, sixteen years, and I know you're not gay. I would've noticed." He said, but Tyler shook his head.

He looked up. "I am. I'm gay. I like boys. I don't find girls interesting."

Oliver chuckled. "You're not feeling well, that's for sure. Maybe you should see Madam Pomfrey. She still works here, right? She might know what to do." he said, when his eyes landed on Albus. "Albus, other kid, can you go, I need to talk to Tyler alone." he said, and Tyler nodded at them. Albus slowly walked back, but instead of going back to the castle he moved out of sight and used the Charm he used with Quinn earlier to hear what they were saying.

"Dad. Can't you just accept it? I'm gay." said Tyler, and Oliver nodded slowly.

He took a step back. "Say it again."

"I'm gay." said Tyler. Then, Oliver raised his hand.

SMACK!

He had slapped Tyler. "Say it again."

"I'm gay."

SMACK!

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I'm GAY!"

SMACK!

"I don't ever want to see you again, Tyler. You're a disgrace to our name. You filthy faggot." Another smack. "Are you sure? Say it again!" He had is arm in the air already, and that was the last bit to Albus. He had to save his friend.

"STOP!" he yelled, and Oliver looked at him, furious. Tyler looked too, tears in his eyes, his cheeks bright red. "You are a disgrace yourself. You know, I was the first to kiss Tyler, and when my dad heard, he was okay with it. Heck, he even told me that he loved me just as much as he did before, that I didn't change. Can't you see that Tyler is still Tyler? Still Tyler Harry Wood?" he yelled, and Oliver scoffed.

He raised his hand, and smacked Albus. "You are gay too? You're one too? Tyler, we can get it off you. Don't ever talk to this faggot again."

Albus shook his head. "I'm not gay. I kissed Tyler because he didn't know what to do, partly because of your homophobic character." he said, but Oliver pulled Tyler close.

He wrapped his arm around his son. "Come with me. I know it's just that boy. He's a disgrace to all his names. Especially the Albus part."

Albus laughed. "You didn't know? Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was gay! He was in love with Grindelwald. You are pathetic. You know what, stay homophobic, insult me, but don't. ever. touch. Tyler. I will hunt you down, and kill you. And then I will tell everyone what you did. Because you just killed someone. You killed your own son. On the inside. So back. off."

Just then, another voice came in.

***

Wow. First things first, I know you might think Oliver would be a lot nicer, and I agree, but I think he actually might be against it. In the books he's always portrayed as nice, as long as Quidditch goes well. Due to a lot of prejudices, people usually don't think of gay people as sportive, so Oliver was probably afraid Tyler couldn't join Puddlemere like he did.

I hope you liked the chapter, and I want to know who you think is the next voice that came in.

Love,

Florence (Who begs you to comment because I like comments <3)
