(20 Things You Didn't Know About - Albus Severus Potter)

1) He never liked his name. He always held a certain degree of jealousy against his brother and sister on this basis. James Sirius Potter was named after his dad's father and a man he greatly admired. He wouldn't have minded so much if it weren't for the constant Daily Prophet articles on his two namesakes, all with a certain degree of insults per page. His mother was always reassuring him that Albus Dumbledore was a greater man than the paper made out, but Al was still wary.

2) He didn't get on with his siblings as a child, and didn't hold a very strong bond with Rose or Hugo either. Roxy and Fred were so much more fun, and they lived above a joke shop. Al had always shared a bond with his Uncle George, and thought he was a very brave man, despite everyone saying that the brave one in the family had to be his father.

3) He was never interested in Quidditch, unlike the rest of his family. This is where he found an unlikely friendship in Dominique Weasley, who hated the sport as well. She had brilliant fiery hair and typical Weasley brown eyes. They shared a mutual love of all things Muggle, encouraged by their Grandpa Arthur. Together they spent their last summer before Hogwart's at the Quidditch World Cup watching Super 8 films. Al doesn't remember who won, but he knows it was a brilliant summer.

4) His dad never took him to Diagon Alley until two weeks before his first term started. Al realised why his father avoided it when he went.

5) The first time he met Luna Lovegood, he knew why everyone admired her. It was at her wedding to some adventurer bloke, whom Al was at first intimidated by, but found him to be quite amiable. She was lovely and caring, if a little absent. Her two son's were lucky to have such parents, and they too were difficult to like. Al envied their life - he wished he could travel the world instead of spending his life holed up in Godric's Hollow.

6) The first time he met Draco Malfoy was quite the opposite. He was about nine, and his dad was taking him round Muggle London alongside James, who needed a new wardrobe full of inconspicuous Muggle clothing. They had stopped for a drink in a little café on Tottenham Court Road, and Al had noticed his father freeze up as they stepped over the threshold. A family of blond hair, haughty looking people were sitting at a table looking rather disgruntled. He had seen the eldest of them, presumably the father, nod at Harry, then stand up and usher his family out, scowling at the Potter's as they stepped out of the door. Al thought he was a very angry looking man, but thought nothing more of it.

7) The day he received that Hogwart's letter was the best of his life, despite Lily being in floods of tears for the week afterwards. He reckons that was the moment his parents were most proud of him.

8) He met a new friend in Madam Malkin's in the form of Patrick Finnigan, who was having his robes fitted at the same time. They spent the rest of the holidays in correspondence. Through Patrick he learnt of many things that had happened during the war that Al's parents refused to tell him, including something about the Malfoy Manor. It all sounded rather terrifying to Al, who was more glad than ever that it was all over.

9) Leaving his parents at the platform was horrible - but Al didn't spend too much time thinking about it. He found the nearest empty compartment and sunk into the seat, fighting back tears. Thankfully Dominique soon joined him, as did Patrick, and Al suddenly felt a lot better.

10) He was surprised to be sorted into Ravenclaw alongside one Scorpius Malfoy. Their sorting definitely caused the most ruckus in the whole ceremony. Rosie joined him of course, while Patrick and Hugo went into Hufflepuff. Dominique was sorted into Gryffindor, something that made Al slightly sad. He had hoped they might be together throughout the next seven years.

11) The most surprising thing was the friendship that sprung up between him and Scorpius, which caused a certain level of scandal and made the headline news in the Daily Prophet. On reflection, Al guessed the news must have been really slow that day.

12) He knew Rose had a thing for Scorpius, and this only got worse when Lily joined them in their Third year. Al hated being caught up in this whole situation, and he knew Scorpius did too.

13) He was thankful to Dominique for teaching him French over his school career, which was one step up he had on his cousins. Being fluent in French made him feel smart, and impressed his Aunt Fleur somewhat. He soon became the favourite nephew.

14) Herbology was his subject, unlike Rose and Scorpius, who didn't do so well. Al and Neville had a close bond, and Al got the best Herbology O.W.L mark in their year. Neville even suggested that he come back to Hogwart's and help teach once he was done with his education.

15) He was jealous of Rose for two things - being Quidditch Seeker and, though this was a secret, being Scorpius' first kiss. He cursed Uncle George eternally for inventing magically "bonding" mistletoe.

16) He took that back in Sixth year when he became Scorpius' second kiss though, through the same methods.

17) Their first proper kiss was the Christmas holiday's in their Seventh year in Godric's Hollow. From then on he and Scorpius had shared something further than friendship. Sadly, quite a few people saw this owing to Fred and Roxanne's spying.

18) The only part of this he regretted was making Rose so upset, to the point that she confided in James about what had happened. Needless to say they didn't stay a secret for very long. Al had never had a more mortifying breakfast, what with all the questions and giggling. Rose didn't speak to him for weeks.

19) He got very good N.E.W.T scores - almost equal to Hugo and Rose's. Scorpius had only tripped up in Potions, which managed to bring his overall scores down quite a bit. Neville offered the year of Herbology again, and Al took him up on it. He was excited about staying on for another year, especially when he would get to see more of Hogwart's. The only drawback was the fact that Scorpius was taking up his Auror training, but they still would see each other every holiday and whenever they had a day off. The power of Apparition never failed to amaze Al.

20) He had talked to both his namesakes throughout his school career, and realised that perhaps he didn't resent his name so much.
