I like to think the whole Albus in Slytherin thing seems like such a big thing only because we’re seeing it from his point of view. From Albus’ perspective the thought of him being placed in Slytherin and how awful that would be was taking over every thought in his head before he started Hogwarts. Therefore, in Albus’ head, everyone else must be thinking that also.

In reality, Harry and Ginny are the kind of parents who celebrated the time James got detention in 1st year purely because it involved him doing a spell most people don’t master till their 5th year. They almost exploded with pride when Teddy had been sorted into Hufflepuff and even prouder when he told them he had actually asked the hat to be sorted there. They were even excited when Lily had to be removed from muggle primary school due to accidental magic.

The smile he seen falter on James’ face wasn’t because Albus was now a Slytherin. It was because James knew how worried he was about being sorted there. It was the immediate wave of guilt that washed over him when he thought back to all the teasing about Albus being a Slytherin. Albus had been looking down at the floor as he was walking towards the 100 foot long table of green and silver. Therefore, he didn’t see when James, followed by the rest of the Weasleys were the first to stand up, cheering and applauding.

In fact, no one cared that Albus was a Slytherin. Molly and Dominique were already Slytherins so the surprise that a Weasley could be a Slytherin had well worn off by then. All anyone cared about was that he was happy.

Next Gen Sorting Hat:

James: 3 seconds. Gryffindor was the only choice.

Albus: 2 minutes 10 seconds. Between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Decided Slytherin would serve him best.

Lily: 1 minute 5 seconds. Between Hufflepuff, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Was sorted into Ravenclaw.

Teddy: 5 minutes 15 seconds. A hat stall between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Teddy eventually told the sorting hat he wanted to be in Hufflepuff.

Victoire: 15 seconds. Could have been Gryffindor but Ravenclaw was the better fit.

Dominique: 50 seconds. Either Gryffindor or Slytherin but her ambition outweighed everything else. Slytherin.

Louis: 1 minute. Ravenclaw was a good option but his kindness outweighs his desire for knowledge.

Rose: 45 seconds. Between Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Gryffindor. Her desire to learn is what put her in Ravenclaw.

Hugo: 3 seconds. Hufflepuff through and through.

Roxanne: 12 seconds. Could have been Slytherin but Gryffindor was most suitable.

Fred: 55 seconds. Initially, the sorting hat was going to put him in Hufflepuff. But it could tell how desperately Fred wanted to be a Gryffindor so it went with it.

Molly: 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor were all good options but Slytherin was the most fitting.

Lucy: 30 seconds. Either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. The sorting hat took Lucy’s choice into consideration and therefore she was sorted into Ravenclaw.

Scorpius: 4 minutes. All houses were considered for Scorpius. The sorting hat let Scorpius decide and despite Gryffindor crossing his mind for a moment he went with Slytherin.

Alice: 1 minute 45 seconds. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor were all considered but Gryffindor felt like the best fit.

Frank: 20 seconds. Hufflepuff was where he’d fit in best

Current fixation: Scorbus

I just can’t stop thinking about how good friends the Potter kids are. Maybe they don’t talk much at school and I don’t think many of their friends or even their family know it but they’re definitely the type of siblings who used to set up a tent in the backyard and camp out their for days together.

In the holidays they designate whole days to playing board games together and doze off on James’s bed after inhaling three boxes of Bertie Botts and laughing for hours about teachers and cousins and quidditch. James will cook them pancakes in the morning and when Al is doing his laundry he’ll do it for the others as well (because Lily and James will definitely just let it all pile up until they can’t see the floor of their room) and the first time Lily has alcohol is when Harry and Ginny get invited to a work holiday party and James whips out the bottle of firewhisky from the highest shelf. 

Sure, they fight. Infamously. James shouts and shoves, Albus slams his door and doesn’t talk for the rest of the day, and Lily stands with her chin high and fists clenched as her mouth releases a steady stream of spiteful words.

But as much as they may hate it, they’re known by each other. Intricately interwoven by name and place. To the world, they will always the The Potter Kids and, most of the time, that’s alright.

new uquiz yay !!! hope you like it x

because albus and scorpius' patronus' aren't confirmed, there are a bunch of different headcanons for what they may be, and they are all valid because it's up to interpretation.

BUT nothing can match the absolute hilariousness of albus and scorpius' patronus being a scorpion and asp, respectively.

like, imagine, okay. when scorpius manages to produce a corpeal patronus and it's an asp, let's be real, he's not going to recognize that it is an asp specifically because I highly doubt snake species were scorpius' taste for hyperfixations. so, he sees it's a snake is like "oh for slytherin, i guess" and goes about his day. then in his DADA class, there's this one student who knows a ton about snakes (watch it be a gryffindor, I love irony) is like "ummmmmmm that's an asp 🤓☝️" and everyone is giggling and oooooooing and it has not yet clicked for scorpius. he sees everyone making their eyebrows dance and is like, "you guys good 😭" and no one tells him shit. anyways he's going about his day with albus, and everything is dandy and full of homoerotic tension. that night, scorpius sees on one albus' papers, and he wrote his name as "ASP." when scorpius inquires him, albus is like "mate those are my initials, albus severus potter is a mouthful, " and only THEN does it click for scorpius and he's sitting there going "oooooooohhhhhh" in his brain.

meanwhile, for albus, when he sees that scorpion patronus, he clocks it immediately and goes in a full-on gay crisis. like it is bad, yall, it's so embarrassing. because he thinks his feelings are unrequited, resolves that scorpius can NOT know. anyways, he's in DADA and everyone is producing their partronus' and albus absolutely refuses to do it in class, so albus fakes sick and teacher, who's absolutely done, is like "fineeeeee leave." anyways, albus rocks up to the hospital wing, and she's like,"dude. nothing is wrong with you. go back to class." but albus is a menace when he's determined, so he sees the stairs and flings himself down them billy-loomis-style and breaks something for real. a few minutes later he's hobbling to the hospital wing, and despite the pain, he's smug as fuck. after treating albus, madame pomfrey starts drafting her resignation letter. (while all this is occurring, Scorpius produced his patonus in class).

anyways, a couple days later, albus is FORCED to at LEAST TRY to produce his patronus in front of the class. and after much cajoling and threatening, he does. and it's a scorpion. and after witnessing scorpius' asp patronus days ago, the class is going absolutely WILD. theres hollering and there's gasp of astonishment and everyone's teasing them, and basically it's what albus feared.

BUT scorpius has connected the dots with the asp patronus and the Scorpion patronus, so he produces his patronus in front of albus and albus sees that it's an asp!! anyways they have a musical montage where they confess and look at each other dreamily and kiss after class.
