Albus Potter was the carbon copy of his maternal uncle Ronald Weasley. It had been apparent since the moment he was born.. the same red hair, blue eyes and the love for food. When he became a little older, it was further confirmed by his irrational fear of spiders. Ron absolutely adored him.
Years pass and one hiccup and a broken time turner later, 12 year old Albus gets sent back in time. When Harry with the help from the ministry finally, after 2 years, manages to devise a device that can help them see through the entire time Al has been there like a video.. all the Potters and Weasleys and a Lupin are gathered around it a bit scared and excited..
James: He is in some sort of an ancient hall or something
Hugo: Maybe typical rooms looked like that in the past
Ginny: Where exactly is he?
Harry: Dunno, but I hope he has found an orphanage or a foster family, till we can get him back
Ron: Oh dont worry, he is smart, he must have figured out something
Hermione: Well, Harry, foster families arent always reliable as you might know
Harry (going pale): Rightt. I would do any fuckin thing to tell him we are coming soon
Lily (disapprovingly): Dad! Pound in the swear jar
Rose: Eww Lils!
Lily (realising): EWWW.. whats wrong with you Rose?
Rose just shrugs and laughs
Victorie: Oh shut up everyone, look someones coming in the room
A lady enters on the screen holding some papers
Teddy: Looks like his foster mother maybe
Harry watches intently
Ginny: The apron is so old fashioned, I would say 70s probably, though the hairstyle doesnt match that era, and dont even get me started on-
Everyone looks at her with eyebrows raised
Ginny: Right, not the time or place
Ron: Look she is saying something, turn up the volume Harry
"Albus Severus, would you like to eat something?"
"Athena, I told you.. we cant eat paper! "
Before Athena can pick up the inkpot.. "Noo, we cant drink ink. Look we talked about this didnt we? The whole concept of inedible things?"
Everyone in the present is either amused, confused, or holding back giggles
Teddy: The hell!? Is she crazy or something
Hugo: Ahh of all the foster families out there, he had to find this one
Harry: Better than mine..
Ginny: Oh will you stop it already Harry, we get it, they were awful to you.. I mean like, whats new?
Everyone again stares at Ginny
Harry: You know if Dumbledores dying wish hadnt been for me to shag you, and that condom hadnt broken and James hadnt been concieved.. I would have never married you
Ginny shrugged
James: Godd Dadd, would you keep the bedroom talk in the bedroom. And dont bring my name up in it please.
Hermione (desperately trying to change the subject): Shut up ya all, they are talking.. we need this information to find out where he is
"So the whole talk about dont eat paper was not just a way to recruit members to our cult?"
"Your cult, first of all. And second, no Anna.. it was real. Along with all the other stuff like dont try to gouge out peoples eyes or dont make random animal noises or dont try to scoop fire up or dont randomly walk into someones house and shout"LALALALA" or-"
"Ok ok I get it, wise ass. You think you are so holier-than-thou"
"Nah I just think I am normal and sane. You know as much of a pain it is to live with you, god knows which social worker in their right mind let you adopt, it is also rather enjoyable"
"I know righttt. LALALALA"
"Okayy stop"
"LALALA"
"If you stop you can go eat some paper... I SAID SOME"
"Also please dont put mosquito repellant in my drink. Its poisonous"
"I never did that"
"You just- last week- I was in the hospital! How could you not remem- Nevermind", Al sighed
Athena shrugged and walked out.
"Total whack-job", Al mumbled shaking his head
"Whats that?"
"Nothin"
"I heard ya. You tellin I am a whackjob? Who was the one who jumped off a cliff?"
"There was a huge spider there! Coming right at me!"
"Soo.. you jump?"
"Did I say how huge it was? I panicked okay!?"
"LALALA"
"Ughh.. and I am paying the price aint I? Three broken bones"
"You are silly", Anna giggled and walked away.
"Lord save my soul or I will die of the sheer craziness"
Lily: The actual fuck!? He jumped off a cliff because of a spider? Oh Al
Ron: I mean he panicked.. you know!
Everyone was bent over with laughter. On popular demand, the video was scrolled back to the time when this incident happened.
James: Oh my god.. its real. I am never letting him forget this!
Hugo: He jumped! he actually jumped!
Ron (going red): I wouldve done the same
Its Rons turn to be stared at by everyone
Ginny: Oh fuckin hell whats the pointtt, my son is a bloody coward
Harry: Okay.. thats it, I am divorcing you.
