The Fault in Our Wands

At eleven years old, Albus has never been anything but Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley's son, his entire life shaped by the most famous surname of the Wizarding community. Son of two living legends and middle child, not even his literally explosive magic skills can convince anyone that he's not just a replica of his parents—that he's an entirely different person, who doesn't deserve or even want all the mediatic pressure weighing on his shoulders. Life frustrates Albus to no end, and all he hopes is for a true friend.On his first ride to Hogwarts, he and his cousin Rose slip into a carriage with only a sleeping blond boy inside: Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, child to yet another legendary, if as unpopular as Albus and Rose's parents are loved, wizard. Despite the rumours that follow them around, the three children soon form a bond that's stronger than any gossip. And, although neither Scorpius nor Albus know it yet, the choice they make to stand by each other no matter what will change their lives forever.***DISCLAIMER: I in no way support J.K. Rowling in her transphobia and misandry, or at all. This fic was written years ago, before her nastiness blew up, and since then I have ceased my support to her.
