-
He was sorted into Gryffindor with his brother, much to many people’s surprise. When he sat down on the stool and had the sorting hat placed on his head he said that he didn’t mind what house he was put in and just wanted the hat to place him into the house that he thought was best for him. The hat saw his bravery, of not just understanding but being accepting of all the houses no matter what their stereotypes are, and sorted him into Gryffindor. Albus left feeling slightly disappointed that he wasn’t sorted into Slytherin but understood the hat reasoning and happily went off to join his housemates and cousins.
He and his siblings got along very well, even though he and James argued on a daily basis, he loved both of them with all his heart. He and Lily had a very loving bond that they would describe as being ‘best friends’, Lily was always there to make him laugh even when he tried not to. She was his complete opposite but they couldn’t have gotten along better. Unlike James, when it came towards Lily’s boyfriends he was very understanding and never really liked to interfere too much with his sisters love life. He and James had an odd relationship, James would always tease his younger brother but he wouldn’t let anyone else do the same. If anyone so much as called him a silly name they would find themselves in the hospital wing for weeks. At first Albus found this immensely embarrassing but after time he realised how much he loved it. He and his father had similar personalities and he and Ginny, though on the outside seemed very different, are like two peas in a pod. He struggles, at first, with the expectations of being the son of the ‘Boy Who Lived’ but after time realises that it doesn’t define who he is as a person and refuses to let other people’s opinions of who or what he will turn out to be affect him.
He and Rose had decided from the first moment they walked on the Hogwarts Express that they would always be there for each, no matter how many times they argued they would remain close. However, in less than five minutes after making that deal they were arguing, Albus had seen Scorpius Malfoy sitting in a compartment all by himself and had chosen to sit with him much to Rose’s protests. He found Scorpius very interesting and funny in a weird sort of way. They all stayed in the compartment together but Rose, for the first time, remained extremely quiet. As much as he didn’t want to hurt Rose’s feelings he couldn’t help but make friends with the Malfoy. The two had a mutual love for Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts as well as both wanted to try out for their Quidditch teams as soon as possible.
Albus immediately settled into classes becoming one of the smartest in his year, sometimes even beating Rose but he never told her that. He was one of those kinds of people that didn’t brag about getting full marks in next to every test, instead he was that kind of person who would help you if you didn’t understand a question or take time out of his day to tutor you on a lesson that you found particularly difficult. He did tutoring with both Scorpius and Alice, helping Scorpius with Herbolgy and Alice with Charms, when he realised that he really enjoyed teaching people. He took a quick interest with Alice but never really had the courage to tell her but he never made it uncomfortable between the two and tried at all cost not to make his feelings obvious.
He made a bit of a scene after he found out that James had asked Alice out after he had told him not to. James not realising that Albus had said that because he like her himself, had asked her out. James did like Alice but told his little brother that he would stay away until Albus was ready to admit his true feelings. Albus told him that he wasn’t going to tell Alice anytime soon so James took things into his own hands and did it for him. Albus was at first furious with his stupid ass brother but after Alice told him that she felt the same way Albus couldn’t thank James more. The two tried out a relationship in their seventh year but they struggled due to Albus still being convinced that Alice doesn’t like him as much as he does her. No matter how hard he tries he could never tell Alice his true feelings towards her and it started to get awkward with the two of them deciding that they should just remain friends until the right time.
After finishing Hogwarts, he contemplates all his options after many request from Scorpius to join him for a gap year he takes a year out in France. When he returns, he decides to do some work in the Ministry with Hermione until he is certain about what he wants to do. After working there for two years he joins a training course/ job application for another department where he meets Alice again, having not seen her in a little under two years they have a lot to catch up on. After losing the job to Alice he tells her everything, the truth about how he feels about her. He says those lovely three words and she replies with the usual four and he asks her to marry him. They marry quickly and quietly in a beautiful little church in Godric’s Hollow and settle down in a house not far from Harry and Ginny.
Albus takes up a job offer as Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, going back to the enjoyment of tutoring he used to have when he was younger. He and Teddy grow closer, as Teddy has been working at Hogwarts for a few years when Albus arrives, which is something Albus is very happy about because he always felt that when he was younger the two struggled to have as close a relationship as James and Lily did with Teddy. Despite the fact that he works at Hogwarts, he Floo’s home every night to spend most of his spare time with his family, his and Alice’s two kids.
