Wise words

Summary: Holly has a chat with Albus Potter about his fear in being a Slytherin.

There was just something off about Aunt Holly that Albus and the rest of the kids notice. She would spin around in circles whenever she pleased, she would draw on anything that moved. And, no Aunt Holly you can't draw on Uncle Ron back when he isn't looking. Nor, can you dye Uncle Ron hair when he wasn't looking.

So, yes, she was odd, but she didn't speak much his father said that Aunt Holly had stop speaking after the war. There was never any injury and no sign of any form of blackmail that would cause the witch to just stop talking. Not that it worried father too much because at least now she wasn't warning him of the future. She also wasn't Albus real Aunt either, not that would matter because as far as his father saw her Holly was his sister in all, but blood and she was his Aunt no matter what.

She was also a little bit easily to talk to whenever one of them had a problem. She would listen and give her best advice and if she didn't know the answered she would point them to the person who would. As he was ready to go to Hogwarts for the first time, Albus wondered if he should've spoken to Aunt Holly about houses before he was waiting for the train, but Aunt Holly seemed to know something was of and came strolling towards him.

"What's a matter Albus?" she asked.

"I'm worried about being put into Slytherin."

She frowned.

"You haven't been listening to all that nonsense they say about Slytherin, have you?"

"Maybe," he admitted.

"Will that's fairly silly. I'll tell you what Albus there's nothing wrong with Slytherin. It won't make you evil and your father won't disown you just because you end up with a bunch of snakes. And, if he does. I'll bash them."

Scary part if he could see Aunt Holly bashing dad and winning.

"And, if anyone bullies you for being a Slytherin just because your family ended up being a bunch of lions. I'll bash them."

"Really?" he asked.

"Really."

"Holly," dad said walking towards them. "What are you telling him?"

"Bashing people," she sang song.

"Holly, you're not meant to support him to fight like that."

"But why not?" she demanded. "And, I wasn't telling him to fight. I was telling him if anybody was being mean to him. I'll fight them for him."

"Holly!"

He smiled as dad and Aunt Holly spent some time arguing on why bashing people is a bad idea.
