The Potters: Basically A Sitcom

A/N Living in the Potter's house is like being stuck in a particularly witchy sitcom. Especially for Albus Severus, with a hero for a father, a mother who can hex like there's no tomorrow, a marauder incarnate for a brother, and a Slytherin sister. Interesting is a nice way to put it.

~Told in the Point of View of Albus Severus Potter~

The Epic Prologue..As According to Albus S. Potter

When I woke up on my fourteenth birthday, I was fairly sure it would suck. Of course, that would make no sense to a normal person from a normal family. But I'm not normal..and my family is definitely not normal.

Okay, so by now I'm sure your pretty confused. So I'm going to try to explain. My name is Albus S. Potter (Do not ask what my middle initial stands for. I will kill you.)

...

Fine. I won't kill you, but you get the idea.

By now you're probably wondering what is so special about being Albus S. Potter...and really there is nothing special about me. Not one thing. If you don't count my saving Hogwarts a couple times the past couple years (my dad tells me I take after him in that respect.) But...let's not talk about me yet. I'm not the reason my family could pass for a sitcom...well maybe I am...but I have a whole lot less to do with that than everyone else in my family, I swear.

Anyway, if it's not overly obvious to you that I'm from a wizarding family, then I fear for your mental health. Unlessyou're a muggle, then maybe it'd be slightly difficult to tell.

You see, my father is so famous that he has his own Chocolate Frog card..along with my mum and like all of my family, with the exception of my cousins. Seriously, how am I supposed to live up to that? My dad, Harry James Potter, is the hero of the wizarding world...defeated Lord Voldy the Moldy...survived the killing curse twice.

Of course, that was years ago, now he's just the head of the auror (you know, guys who totally kick dark wizard ass) department.

So you would expect for my mum to at least be semi-normal, but nope, she's not. Ginevra Molly Potter nee Weasley ( commonly referred to as Ginny) not only fought in the Second Wizarding War, and played for the Harpies, but can literally cast the bloody scariest Bat-Bogey Hex I've ever seen ( thank Merlin I haven't actually felt it...yet.)

And then there is Teddy...

He's usually pretty cool, except when he's snogging my cousin...or moping because of my cousin...or helping James prank me. He's my favorite sibling. Sad thing is, he's only my god brother. Teddy's parents died during the last war, and my father, as his god father, basically raised him.

See? He sounds pretty normal, right?

Wrong! Teddy happens to be a metamorphmagus, with some slight werewolfish qualities, kind of like my uncle, Bill, but that's another story.

Unfortunately, I now must tell you about my brother, James Sirius Potter, the reason for nearly all turmoil in the Potter house. Of course, what did my dad expect, naming him after two marauders. Seriously, for a wizarding hero my dad sure can be stupid. (Don't tell him I said that.)

James, in my opinion (and pretty much everyone else's), seems to enjoy torturing everyone he knows with pranks. With the exception of my mum...and Lily. Not even James would dare cross them. You see, he's a year older than me, and he never lets me forget that.

He pranks everyone...and I'm not even kidding! If he ever became desperate enough, he'd probably prank a rock...and he's not alone, my cousin, Fred is his partner in crime.

And guess who their main target is?

Me.

And occasionally my two best friends Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Weasley (yes another cousin of mine.)

Then there is my baby sister, Lily Luna Potter. The trick with Lily is to never underestimate her. Never, trust me, it will be the last thing you ever do.

She looks all innocent with that smile and those big brown eyes...but she's not, she's like the devil in disguise of a twelve year old. In fact, she was the first Potter/Weasley to be sorted into Slytherin in ages.

Now, there's only one person left to warn you about...me. Like I said, I'm not...well I don't think I'm too abnormal. I'm just a fairly average Gryffindor boy, who happens to save the school every once in a while.

Fine. Maybe I am a little...abnormal, but compared to the rest of my family, I'm boring.

Are you scared yet?

A/N Please review and let me know what you think, the rest of the chapters will be more in the form of an actual story, although you'll still have to listen to Albus's commentary on all of it. Please review!
