Albus Severus Potter

Virgo. INFJ. 6th Year. Slytherin. Seeker.

James grinned at his reaction, shrugging overdramatically. “It’s not my fault Slytherin is the house of the creepiest animal in the entire world, squirt. That animal brings bad rep on everything it touches.” He shuddered slightly, even thinking about his least favourite animal ever made him uncomfortable. “Hey, I’m your big brother. When you were born I had to sign a contract saying I would never let you forget the most disturbing moments of your life.”

[albusseverxs-blog]

“Don’t call me squirt. You’re not even that much older than me, you tosser. Besides, snakes are hardly the creepiest. They just have a bad reputation. Don’t be such a baby. Have you ever seen a badger? They’re way more creepy. Whoever chose that mascot was off their rocker.” He brandished the roll he was holding for emphasis, “Oh yeah, right, forgot all about that contract. You know most older siblings protect their younger siblings from trauma instead of reminding them of it. You’re literally the worst brother ever.”

“It just caught my eye. I wasn’t going to look, but it just happened. That’s disgusting!” Rose cringed at the sight of the guy chewing what seemed to be most of the pudding. His mouth was so stuffed, he couldn’t propery close it and therefore bits of the food fell out.·“Do yourself a favour and don’t look there.. I don’t wanna look anymore, but I have to now!”

[albusseverxs-blog]

“Oh, that’s it! You’ve gone and done it now!” He couldn’t resist the urge to look, not with all her remarks about how he shouldn’t. As soon as he turned to look, he regretted it, giving an exaggerated cringe to illustrate as much. “That’s it. I’m done. I can’r handle any more of this. It’s cruel and unusual.” He pushed his plate away from him, but couldn’t bring himself to look away.

She couldn’t help but snort at what he said, but she did agree. There was no way she’d be eating dozens of sweets a day if it weren’t for the taste. There was honestly no way she’d be eating a lot of things if she couldn’t taste any of it. “I suppose some people have different priorities. Or maybe they know they aren’t connoisseurs of food and so they just stopped trying in general.” 

[albusseverxs-blog]

“Well, with an attitude like that, they’re never going to get any better at appreciating food.” He chuckled into a dinner roll, “Besides, not only is he ruining any hope of actually tasting the food and enjoying it for himself, he’s making the rest of us lose our appetite. Someone should buy him a curtain to eat behind...”

“Yes, no harm done, except perhaps eternal anger. Do you even know how dramatic fifteen year old girls can be? I’ll be lucky if I don’t get a random prank back by the end of today.” Lily asked retorically, her tone of voice getting dangerously close to the high pitch she usually developed when nervous.

[albusseverxs-blog]

“Do I even kno-    -I live with you, don’t I? I think I know more than just about anybody!” Albus promised himself that if her voice started to squeak any higher, he’d make a run for it. That was one upside to Hogwarts; he could hide in the dungeons from family craziness. “Hmm.....you’re right. You’re doomed. It’s not like you’re used to getting pranked all the time by pros. Obviously an amateur fifteen year old girl is going to think up something really nasty. You might die. It was nice knowin’ ya.”

[patilboy]

“I have no clue, maybe because you enjoy your housemates’ company too much?” She raised an eyebrow, risking another look at the boy with the python-like eating habits. “Oy, don’t look there! He’s tryna eat a whole pudding at once.”

[albusseverxs-blog]

Albus opened his mouth to comment about his housemates and their company, but stopped, cringing at her next statement. “Oh for Merlin’s sake! Really? What’d you look for? And why’d you tell me?! Now I really, really want to look, but also would rather put this spoon in my eye socket? I’m very conflicted.”

[liilylunas-deactivated20151230]

“I’m so sorry, I swear it was an accident!” Lily shouted after one of her classmates, who didn’t even turn to look at her as she was apologising. It wasn’t hard to understand why the girl practically ran away, blue hair doesn’t suit everyone and Lily had provided the other Gryffindor with an unfortunate hairstyle. “Of course, if anyone’s going to mess up at Charms it has to be me.” Lily rolled her eyes and mumbled to herself, wishing there was a “reverse time” charm.

[albusseverxs-blog]

Albus made a ‘tsk’ sound against the back of his teeth as he approached, “Lily, Lily, Lily, what have you done now?” He sent her a teasing grin, but gave her shoulder a supportive squeeze. “Hey, she’s no Teddy   but I still think you did her a favor. I mean, now she has an excuse to get someone in the infirmary to permanently fix that cowlick of hers. No real harm done, right?”

Sean nodded in response to his nod. “I agree, I mean they don’t have cheeks or lips so they don’t even have the ability to hide the fact that they’re shoveling a whole item into their mouths. This kid on the other hand has all of those abilities, so he should chew and gain proper table manners.” He took a sip from his drink, now almost staring at the stranger in front of him. “Yeah, that’d be torture.”

[albusseverxs-blog]

Albus tilted his head to one side as he stared on, “You think the poor bloke would even notice if someone did something to his food? Would it slow him down at least, you think?” He wondered aloud. He wasn’t about to test his theory out. It was too early in the year for detention, thank you very much. “I don’t think it’d phase him at all. Even if his food were suddenly alive and very, very angry.”

[mountcloverrp-blog]

James leaned forwards a little, peering past his brothers head at the scene. “Maybe he’s part python. They just kind of….swallow their prey whole. From the looks of it, his prey is that roast chicken.” He leaned over Albus to grab at the pumpkin juice, pouring himself and his brother a new glass. “Honestly, he kind of looks like Uncle Ron at Christmas dinner.”

[albusseverxs-blog]

Albus huffed, mockingly melodramatic, “Just what snakes need; another reason for a bad rep.” He chuckled, gratefully picking up the glass of pumpkin juice, “I don’t think snakes would appreciate the comparison. And now I’m going to have nightmares about Uncle Ron and Christmases past. Thanks for that. Thanks a lot.”

person: you're a slytherin?

me: yeah

person: no way! but you're so nice!

me: if you're nice and polite people like you, favor you and tend to underestimate you which can be a great advantage later on

person: what

me: what

She shook her head. “I’m pretty sure they’ve figured out how to inhale it all. Save time, you know? It’s all about efficiency now. Eat as much as you can as quickly as you can and then move on to the next thing.” She took a sip out of her cup, not realizing it was pumpkin juice before making a face and quickly putting the glass down.

[albusseverxs-blog]

“Yeah...” Albus considered the logic behind her point, “I guess that’s one way of looking at it. I don’t really see the point in eating if you’re just going to inhale it though. Seriously, there’s no way he’s tasting any of that! He could be eating anything and wouldn’t even know the difference!” He shook his head and took a bite of his pastry, savoring it like a normal person, “But I mean if his goal is to just get it all down as quick as possible, kudos, I guess.” He held up his goblet in a mock toast toward the person in question before taking a drink.

[patilboy]

Rose grinned at her cousin’s reaction. She just loved making people laugh.·“Now have fun eating your meals in some hidden corner then. Or maybe you’d try closing your eyes when you step in here and opening them again once you’re in the entry hall.” She shook her head at the thought of that,·“And to think that beauty is just one of my many talents.”

[albusseverxs-blog]

“Forget a corridor, I’ll just go straight to the source and eat in the kitchens.” His eyebrows knitted together as he considered the thought, “Actually, I don’t know why I haven’t been doing that already....”  He shrugged, cataloging the idea away for further consideration some other time. “But you’re right. You’re so gifted. And humble too!” Albus teased good-naturedly. 

[albusseverxs-blog]

Albus has never been a fan of his name. He's honored by it, really, and when he's 140 maybe he'll grow into it. But for a sixteen year old, Albus Severus is a pretty heavy name to carry. For this reason he has tried to think of a better fitting nickname. When he was younger, sometimes his family would call him Albie, which he hated then and now loathes. He gets called Al sometimes too, but he isn’t a big fan of that either.

For a while during the last half of his first year and all of his second year, he insisted he be called by his initials: Asp. Asp, he found out was a type of deadly snake, and certainly that was better than Albus! Turns out it wasn't his most winning moment....he still can't live it down. He pretends to get embarrassed when people call him Asp now, and depending on the person teasing him, sometimes he doesn't have to pretend. But honestly, he still thinks it's a pretty clever nickname. Even if he gave it to himself...

[patilboy]

Rose was amused by her cousin’s reaction, although fearing he would choke on his pumpkin juice. She patted Albus’ back, waiting for him to stop coughing. “Disgustingly striking, if you ask me.” She risked another look at the student, wondering how he could seemingly eat without swallowing. Rose let out a small laugh, snipping her fingers in front of Albus’ face. “Look at me instead, I happen to be extraordinarily beautiful!”

[albusseverxs-blog]

Albus jumped a bit at the sudden sound of her fingers snapping and finally drew his attention away from the food cruelty. He laughed again, much louder than usual, but at least this time there wasn’t any pumpkin juice in his mouth. “Gorgeous, absolutely stunning.” He clapped his hand softly, “And effective. Remind me never to watch anyone eat anything ever again under any circumstances. It just seems too risky now. But you should really consider a modeling career after school. That face you just made could pave the way to a great career. Just a suggestion...”

“Exactly, it’s just displeasing to look at and such a turn off. I can never look at him the same again.” Pollux allowed a small smile to pass her lips, briefly, before turning her attention back on her food. There weren’t many things Lux knew about Albus, apart from his terrible name, his overly large family and his skills on the Quidditch pitch. Other than that, there wasn’t anything else she really knew about the guy. But at least he had the decency not to ask, right? That had to count for something. Taking a small, tentative bite out of her food, Pollux resisted the urge to gag. Gross. “I don’t know how he can just shovel it in. I mean, it’s good food, sure… But I just don’t see the appeal. At least dessert is good.”

[albusseverxs-blog]

Albus expected the conversation to end there. He hadn’t figured she’d really be up to talking, let alone to someone she hardly knew. He’d just needed someone, anyone to share in his disgust, because surely he wasn’t the only one upset by the sight. He went back to his dinner with considerably less enthusiasm; it seemed much less appetizing now. “It tasted better before I looked down there.” He gestured to the boy with a jerk of his head, “But even if it was the best food I’d ever tasted, I still don’t think that’s any excuse for going on like garbage chute.” He shuddered, “But you’re right! At least there’s dessert. You can’t ruin dessert. Hmm.....I just jinxed it, didn’t I? My food ’s bound to catch fire or something now.”

[seanpce]

Sean had been minding his own business when the boy sitting next to him had decided to speak. Most of attempts to make a joke around him were responded with nothing more but an eye roll but what the boy had said was actually, sort of comical. “Ha, yeah like a Python.” He chuckled. 

[albusseverxs-blog]

Albus nodded absent-mindedly, “I think it’d be less traumatizing to watch a python eat though. Can’t same from experience, but I’d be willing to bet...” He took a sip of his pumpkin juice, eyes still locked on the human snake. He grimaced, “I think someone should seriously look into using this kid as a torture technique. I mean, I’d say just about anything to get him to slow down.”

[patilboy]

After finishing her third plate of roast beef and potatoes, Rose had decided to pay her cousin Albus a visit. No sooner thought than done, she was scanning the Slytherin table for his familiar dark shock of hair. When she finally spotted the Potter halfway down the table, she walked up to were he was seated, grabbing a chicken leg on the way. Albus seemed a little distracted, but Rose slipped in next to him anyways. He greated her with a question, although she was unsure if it was actually addressed to her. “Don’t see much difference to how dad eats.”

[albusseverxs-blog]

Albus nearly spat out his pumpkin juice, trying hard to swallow it down instead of laugh. “That’s a good point,” He coughed, trying to regain his composure as flashbacks of his uncle eating from holiday dinners flooded his mind. He was going to lose his appetite all together at this rate. “The resemblance is striking, really....It’s like a trainwreck, I can’t stop watching...I want to stop. It’s disgusting, but I just---can’t, ya know?”
