Because many people (including Abbl2, Evelina888, and Bookworm41) were curious to see Albus and Lily's reactions to Harry's story.
Albus found it a little funny, actually.
He was the Slytherin. He wasn't supposed to be brave.
Yet he seemed to be the only brave one at the moment. Both of his siblings were completely shaken by the new realization, but he wasn't.
Not to say he was completely unaffected by the story. Sure, he'd been scared during the story, and his mind was still reeling, trying to wrap his head around how his world had just changed. But he wasn't hiding.
Maybe Gryffindors were braver, but that didn't mean Slytherins weren't stronger.
Next time James called him a snake…
So what do you all think of this portrayal of Albus? I liked it at first, but I'm not entirely decided. But I want to hear what you think!
I may put Lily's reaction up tonight because there's another chapter that I'm really excited to post.
Thank you all for reading!
