Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy have entered their fifth year of Hogwarts. They've found friends and happiness, and their friendship with each other has strengthened considerably. In the summer before their fifth year, Scorpius' world is completely changed, while Albus' summer is a complete bore. Little do they or their culture at large know that a dark force is at work, a force nostalgic for the dark times of the Wizarding world. A plan is being set in motion, with Albus as the unknowing center of it all.
"Potter, a word, please?"
The train had only just departed, none of the families quite yet starting to clear out, when Draco Malfoy approached the Potter-Weasley clan, an exceptionally rare occurrence. Harry could sense Ron tensing up.
Harry turned to his family, excused himself, and followed Malfoy to a more secluded corner. Far from his usual smug facial expression, Malfoy actually looked somewhat disturbed. This earned him Harry's full attention.
"I'm going to get right to it." Malfoy said, lifting up his sleeve.
What once had been a formless scar, had now begun to take all too familiar shape- it had turned a slightly angry red color, and Harry
could make out the shape of the snake and the skull, as if the mark was a freshly healed scar.
Harry felt as though he was about to stumble backwards; the force of the revelation hit him harder than a brick wall. But... it was impossible!
"H.... how?" Harry could only choke out, eyes lifting to meet Draco's. A muscle in Draco's jaw tensed. Suddenly, he didn't look like a middle aged man. He looked rather like a frightened teen who Harry had watched through his invisibility cloak all those years ago on the Astronomy Tower.
"Please." Draco said, more emotion in his voice than Harry had ever heard. "The Aurors can find answers. I can't.... I can't..." Draco was having trouble getting the words out; Harry understood. Draco couldn't bear to think of what could happen to his son in a new Death Eater regime. Harry took a deep breath, steadying himself.
"I promise, Draco." Malfoy looked up at him, the usage of his first name not lost on him. "I promise we'll find answers and we'll stop whatever, or whoever, is causing this."

Alright guys I'm brand new to the sight and pretty new to story writings. This is heavily based off of a fic of mine I had written a month or two ago. Discovering this website and this really cool community, I thought to post one of my first stories, to gain feedback to improve as a writer and hopefully to entertain some people, as well as try out questing for the first time. I'm not doing anything too fancy for this, just you guys voting on stuff. I'm excited to get this story out and hope you guys enjoy.
