overall personality:
- charming | what slytherin can't be charming when they want to be? it's one of the reasons they get put into the house of green and silver. al can usually charm his way into and out of any situation that befalls him though there are some people that are immune to his charm. though he assumes the potter name helps his charm a little.
- sarcastic | he can be sarcastic. most of the time it's hard to tell if what he's saying is sarcastic or what he means.
- protective | his family and friends mean the world to him. he'd do anything for them and that means anything. he doesn't care what would happen to him if he did something that wasn't allowed but he'd do it to save any of them. not that he'd tell them because that makes things awkward.
- aloof | while he's okay with his family and the people that have chipped away enough of his outer armour to be considered his friend, he can appear very cool and unfriendly. it's not that he is, he can actually be friendly when he puts his mind to it and around his family he's better but he isn't one to approach people or try very hard to make a connection with someone.
- distant | he can be very distant even to the people he loves. he doesn't like talking about the emotions that run through his head and he hates letting people know anything that might make him look anything like being vulnerable and like he needs a helping hand. one thing albus can't do, is ask someone for help. he feels he should always be the one to help out his family.
- emotionally challenged | he's not good at expressing his emotions either. he doesn't like public displays of affection from anyone really. though he tolerates hugs from his mother, father and siblings when they are forced on him that's about it. he's never been one to want attention when he's feeling down or ill and he likes to keep up a pretence of always being okay.
- patient | he's got the patience of a big cat that's waiting to stalk it's prey. he doesn't like to rush things like homework or things he has to do and he doesn't mind waiting on people if they're late or if he's in a queue he doesn't let it bother him and he can usually take most things people say to him and let them roll off his back.
- temper | that being said he is a potter, he is a slytherin and he does take after his father in one area other than looks. he's got a temper on him and it can be a doozy. on the odd occasion when things push him too far he can fire up and it's usually an impressive explosion. when he's angry his magic becomes stronger and a little more out of control and his spells usually pack a little more of a punch. he's not quick to fire up but he takes a long time to calm down and he doesn't ever et go of a grudge.

history:
so this here is albus potter. middle child of harry and ginny and older brother to lily and younger brother to james. his life started out how most babies start out life. as a baby he was quiet, he didn't cry much unless he needed something and as he grew up he stayed that way. but that's not to say he didn't cause trouble. he was always getting into things and from about the age of two he stopped needing his parents help to get himself out of them. there wasn't a bookshelf he climbed up that he couldn't get down from, there wasn't a place he got stuck that he wasn't able to escape from and there wasn't a nook of the house and land they lived on that went without being explored by albus potter. however when he lily was coming into their lives he struggled a little. he was too young to understand what as happening and why there were all these gifts coming into the house and why every teddy he fell in love with got taken away and put into the new babies room. but once lily was home and everything settled down so did he and he started to like the idea of having a younger sibling. not that at two he could fathom it really but he settled down a little.
as he and his siblings grew albus knew he was different than them. they were outgoing and they liked pulling pranks and getting themselves into trouble. albus didn't really. he didn't pull pranks because he soon grew to think of them as childish as he was quite often the butt of pranks pulled by his siblings. his parents learned what they had always assumed to be true when he was five years old. of course it was late for a wizard to show his magical ability but that was albus, taking his own time to do things. he was fighting with james for some reason, he and his parents can't quite remember what it was about but albus had slammed his hand down onto the table and flames had exploded from underneath and burned his palms. he'd been shocked, his parents had been torn between anger about their table being ruined or happy that al had used his magic for the first time. he got sent to his room so he figured it wasn't the latter.
leading up to his eleventh birthday albus was worried about not getting his hogwarts letter and if he did get it what was going to happen when he did get there. he wanted to be in the same house as his brother but whenever james wrote back or came home for the holidays it always sounded to albus like a house that he wouldn't fit into he. he was different, he wasn't like a lot of the kids his brother had told them he'd made friends with and it started to worry him. he wasn't smart enough to be in ravenclaw, he didn't think that he was going to be okay for hufflepuff, his mother had told him about the house and he didn't think he could be like that and he didn't want to be in slytherin, his father didn't like them and neither did his brother. on the day he got his letter he tried to hide it from his parents after grabbing the mail before they could but they spotted it and made him open it there with them. he'd been accepted and now the only worry he had was the house. he went with his mother to buy the school books and while in the crowds he got separated from her. he'd ducked into an alley to try and find someone to point him in the right direction but he'd wandered into knockturn alley by mistake and the only thing there that paid him any attention was a horrible old black cat that had jumped at him and clawed his side till he'd managed to fight it off and run back to the alley to find his mom. he still has the scar on his chest from the cat.
so the night of truth was upon him and as he sat on the stool he remembered being afraid of what the hat was going to say. before he could think anything about it though the hat touched his head and said slytherin. well albus had slunk off the stool and made his way to the table and the looks he got, well he wished he'd been anywhere but there. only his cousin lucy was in slytherin, the rest were in the other houses, the houses that most of the family thought were better than slytherin and he was stuck here. though it didn't take him long before he settled in and started to realise that he could get along with some of the people in his house. he joined the slytherin quidditch team in his second year and after not letting a quaffle through during try outs he was made a keeper and has been the keeper for the last four years. his best class is defence against the dark arts and potions and he's trying hard to keep his grades up but he struggles a little. he's worried that he won't get high enough exam marks to be allowed to join the auror in training program at the ministry.
