Albus Potter

“Al… Al… Earth to Albus.” Rose groaned at her cousin’s unresponsiveness. She waved her hand in front of his face to gain his attention, she needed to vent about one of her rude patient’s at St. Mungo’s and couldn’t really do it if he wasn’t paying attention. “Are you even listening to me? First you leave me alone for seven years in gryffindor and now you don’t even care about my days,” she pouted to try to concel a smile. The whole you left me alone argument was a never dying one, even if it was now a joke. “What has you so distracted anyways?” 

Rose startled him as her hand waving before him managed to bring him out of his thoughts, a sheepish, yet small, smile pulling at his lips before he responded; a sign of embarrassment that was only confirmed further by the slight rosey tone that grew upon his cheeks.  “Sorry Rose --- I’ve been zoning out a lot lately, nothing personal.” Sighing he shook his head, glancing down at his drink. “Nothing particular.” It wasn’t true, but he wasn’t sure if he was ready to even admit his current distraction to himself. “Please continue, I promise I’ll give you my full attention this time around.” Albus lifted his head, forcing a proper smile.

“Sixth sense.” he teases once more, handing Albus another napkin so he can dab at the mess that was made on his behalf. “What are your plans for holiday?” he questions curiously, wondering what was going to be going on. He would more than likely spend time with his godfather and godsiblings, but Teddy also was wondering how big of a family affair it would be – the Potter-Weasley crew seemed to be a neverending bunch.

“Thanks ---” Albus gave a mutter in response as he took the napkin Teddy had offered, tossing the now used one to where he had placed his beverage. He didn’t look up as he continued to work on dabbing the spill. “--- I don’t know, I suspect my parents want me to return home, and that something grand will be planned as usual but honestly... I would sort of like a more quiet holiday this year.” That may have came across a bit odd, but sometimes the vast amount of extended family crowded into one home was honestly a bit daunting. “I’ll probably just go along with it though --- what about you?” He finally looked up, gaze meeting with his god brother’s. “Planning to just follow whatever the family decides to come up with this year?”

“You know, Albus, if you keep zoning out like this I’m going to have to tell Harry that you’ve gone a bit mental.” Teddy teases as he sits himself down across from Albus, grinning like a madman. Despite being a few years older than his godfather’s kids, he would do basically anything for them - even tease them. “Sickle for your thought?”

Albus hadn’t even noticed Teddy approach, causing him a slight start. His hot cocoa jumped a bit with him, a small amount spilling onto his jumper. “Shit ---” He cursed quietly, quickly placing the mug down on the nearby table before dabbing at the spill with an accompanying napkin. “Hey Teds --- no need for that, I was just thinking about the upcoming holidays is all.” His gaze shifted to his god brother, a faint smile meeting his lips. “How’d you find me here?”

Outside was cold, but the fireplace Albus was seated next to made him almost all but forget about that; the quiet atmosphere of the coffee shop that evening making it easy for him to drift off into thought. His eyes seemed to stare endlessly into the flickering flames before him, his hands wrapped around a warm cup of hot cocoa; body curled ever so slightly into the over sized chair that didn’t match any of the others in the shop, but then again, none of the furniture really matched.
