You are immensely clever if you are able to hide your cleverness.

I've heard people claim that Albus wasn't a Slytherin at all or joined Slytherin cuz of Scorpius and I heavily disagree with this notion.

My unpopular opinion: Albus is the most Slytherin-est Slytherin to ever Slytherin and he's even more Slytherin than Draco and Scorpius.

Point 1: I've seen people claim that neither Albus nor Scorpius are particularly ambitious

Hello? What do you call the whole save-Cedric-Diggory-who-died-more-than-twenty-years-ago-by-stealing-an-illegal-and-dangerous-timeturner-by-breaking-into-the-ministry idea? A flight of fancy? That's a huge ambition.

Point 2: Albus was incredibly determined to this insane plan. Dude was willing to kiss his own aunt multiple times just to grab his hands on the time turner. Albus, who was very fearful of being evil, was willing to commit multiple serious crimes just for this plan.

When the time travel failed the first time and Albus' cousins got deleted out of existence, dude was still persistent to try the time turner the second time. Any sensible person would stop after the first disastrous attempt but dude was determined to his goal.

Albus has so much ambition and determination inside him(way too much imo) that he doesn't need the other traits to be called a proper Slytherin. But no, it doesn't end here

Point 3: Dude is resourceful and sometimes incredibly clever. The way he quickly thought up the blanket idea to contact their parents in the future is astounding. His plan to defeat Delphi(while it had to be tweaked a bit) was pretty solid and it was instrumental in saving the time line.

Cunning? Ehhh... Not so much. You could claim he did deceive Harry into thinking that the kids ran away. And he did deceive Hermione by getting polyjuiced. But his cunning ain't the level of his ambition and his determination.

Point 4: People claim that Albus was a kind guy. No way could he be in gasp Slytherin.

You are being a Slytherinophobe(I'm creating a new term lol). There are plenty of great Slytherins. Albus was using his Slytherin traits for good. And before anyone mentions it, Albus' Slytherin traits overshadows his Gryffindor traits(tho his bravery level is so frigging high)

Conclusion: Dude is very Slytherin. Very very snakey.

Isn't it ironic?

There are people who say:

The time has come.

Artificial intelligence is smarter than humans.

And I ask myself:

Which Humans?
