Ginny: James, if you hurt your brother...
Harry: Albus!
James: It's my turn!
Albus: La la la I can't hear you
Lily L: Am I or am I not your favourite daughter?
thinking about how scorpius canonically was a very sheltered child and spent the majority of his time pre-hogwarts with his very proper pure blood parents. he’s like the equivalent of those children who are raised by their grandparents and talk like mini grandparents.
like i’m just imagining the early days of his friendship with albus and tiny 11 yr old scorpius is using very proper language and doesn’t understand slang meanwhile albus has 101 cousins and probably spoke exclusively in slang.
@rewritingcanon ‘s sketch request was “communal nap time for the younger wotters at the burrow” and i couldn’t bring myself to leave any of them out and also love a big group drawing so ta daaa
up close shots under the cut cause i know it’s gonna be blurry smh tumblr
A Cursed Child Theory: Albus was sorted into Slytherin because Scorpius was.
HEAR ME OUT OKAY!!
The facts:
The sorting hat will take your wishes into account if you feel strongly enough
Albus felt very strongly about not wanting to be in Slytherin
The hat wasn't sure at first: "He puts his hat on ALBUS’s head – and this time he seems to take longer – almost like he too is confused."
So why was he sorted into Slytherin?
Because Scorpius was sorted into Slytherin, and Scorpius asked him if he wanted to be called Al or Albus.
We know our boy hates people calling him Al.
We know he feels an intense pressure to be who his family wants him to be.
Scorpius' first instinct was to ask him what he wanted to be called. In Albus' eyes, Scorpius was the first person in his life to put his wishes first. PLUS, we can only assume that after the scene cuts the two had the time of their little lives chatting on that train journey.
So when Scorpius was sorted into Slytherin, a little subconscious part of Albus' brain went "if he's in Slytherin, it's okay if I am too" and that's why the hat decided Slytherin.
In the first alternate universe (in the original script) he's in Gryffindor. Why? There's no Rose to force him to try and make a friend on the train, therefore no meeting with Scorpius, therefore he gets put in Gryffindor because Slytherin now has no redeeming qualities to him.
Scorpius' kind lil soul is the reason Albus Potter was put in Slytherin.
The existence of jegulus, drarry and scorbus is hilarious because three generations of Potters fell in love with the gay,depressed,dark academia, pureblood, Slytherin nerd
Every so often I think about how special it is that both Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy are Slytherins.
Because it's the house that brought them together. And it's a house that has previously been so misunderstood in the past, and you have two boys that have been misunderstood their whole lives. And this misunderstood house brings them both together.
And that's not even taking into account the fact that Albus has green eyes and Scorpius has grey - they were literally born to be Slytherins, and they were literally born to be together.
They are the perfect soulmates: they contrast one another in such a uniquely beautiful way, but they were always going to be together.
