Harry, who trouble chases after him, Potter.

Like y’all. I don’t care how much of an overachieving genius Tom was, that man is canonically a patchwork of the worst character flaws anyone could ever have. I love him because he is a loser. He is beautiful and smart and over-emotional and egotistic and cruel and antisocial and it ruins his life.

Fics tend to write Harry as surly and reacting with anger, but in canon the only time we see him genuinely get angry after all the shit he’s been through is 1) when he has to deal with Umbridge, and 2) after Sirius dies at the Ministry. I’d go so far as to say that he is less emotional than Tom.

Harry’s levels of idgaf are so unapologetically high that he literally sees no point in pandering or lying to anyone about anything. He goes to formal networking events with outcasts, breaks rules on the regular, blows up his aunt because she pissed him off, casually murders his DADA professors on a Tuesday afternoon… he literally asked the Minister for Magic to sign his Hogsmeade permission form and crucio’d a Death Eater for spitting on McGonagall.

There’s no realistic scenario where Harry James Potter would be submissive or overly insecure.

long story short, i graduated and on a hospital clinical rotation right now.

i projected to him SO MUCH since i first knew his character (which probably ... over 10 years ago .. lol) that i start to fuse into one with him, he is me and i am him. i live through him.

Lucretia: Black Rabbit Orion: Black Dog

Walburga: Black Raven Alphard: Black Swallowtail Cygnus: Black Swan

Araminta: Black Cat

Bellatrix: Black Mamba Andromeda: Black Sheep Narcissa: Black Swan

James Potter had always been raised to be polite. He was a troublemaker, yes. Ridiculously so. But when faced with family members, his friends' parents, adults working at restaurants or stores, or random people on the street, Effie had taught him that respect was expected at all times.

Which was why she was absolutely shocked when, the first day of her son's third year of school, Walburga Black stormed up to her, face full of fury, and pointed a quivering finger at James, who was following behind her with Sirius. "Your son," she spat, "is an absolute monster."

James had the good sense to look a little ashamed at that, his eyes on the stone ground of Platform 9 3/4 as he stood silently. But Effie had a feeling all was not as it seemed. "What did he do?" she questioned, clenching her hands in her fists and trying to keep calm.

"He-he yelled at me!" Walburga shrieked. "No respect at all! If this is how you raise your children, I'll rethink sending Sirius to visit again next summer!"

"What did you say, James?" Effie asked her son, again waiting to pass judgement until she knew for sure.

Now James finally looked up at her, his expression as fiery as Walburga's. "I saw her hitting Sirius, mum," he said firmly, jaw set and eyebrows furrowed. "I told her to keep her bloody hands off him. I know I shouldn't have, but-"

Yes. This made a lot more sense. "No," she said, holding her hand up to silence him and looking at the seething woman in front of her. "He’s right. You keep your hands off this boy or I'll involve the Ministry, Walburga." 

Walburga looked close to spitting fire. But as she stalked off, muttering, Effie didn't regret her actions for a moment.

She would always stand by her son.

As if this isn’t what he canonically dressed like:

Now, you might've thought 'But Honeybee! What made you jump to THAT conclusion???'

Well... Buckle up cuz it's a long story...

So one day, I was pondering on the Cursed Child as I usually do any day lmao. At that particular day, I was thinking abt the train station scene during Albus' third year. Specifically abt these 2 sentences in the script.

And with that, time moves ever onwards — ALBUS’s eyes become darker, his face grows more sallow. He’s still an attractive boy, but he’s trying not to admit it.

And I was thinking abt Albus' clearly deteriorating mental state. But then I thought of the "He's still an attractive boy" part which weirded me out, cuz firstly, that just ruined the sad vibes earlier and secondly, it was so out of place. Mind you this paragraph was after many scenes of Albus getting bullied/ostracised. And finally, bro was THIRTEEN! THIRTEEN! My guy is too young for the narrator to think of him as attractive.

And I did lowk find it funny as well. Cuz it read to me as "Look! Albus' skin is sallow and his eyes are dark but DON'T WORRY!!! HE'S STILL HOT!"

But that made me think of the next part of that sentence - "but he's trying not to admit it."

Do you know what that sounds like?

Protag: "Oh but I was a painfully average girl."

Protag: "I looked in the mirror and saw that I had eye bags"

Protag: (Hottest girl in the room)

Some mafia dude: "Mamma Mia! You are as beautiful as risotto!(Kisses her hand then leaves to do some mafia shit)

Cuz that is what it sounds like! Like bro, he's got all these features but HE'S STILL HOT but bro still doesn't think he is. Switch the genders and he sounds like he is gonna be in some romance books dawg.

That is when I thought, 'Wait a min! He does sound like a romantasy protag!'

Cuz No. 1, DADDY ISSUES

Okay maybe it ain't a romance specific thing, but I do feel like it might work in scenario 2 that I wrote below.

And No. 2, in some points Albus is kind of an empowered damsel which is sorta a thing I've seen in this one romance book.... Uhh.... this is a huge stretch... I did say that this theory is mostly based on vibes lmfao.

There are 2 ways, you could potentially twist the cursed child into a romance plot.

1. Dark Romance

(Potential ship - Albus × Delphi)

Now you might think that this ship is honestly gross and wrong and YOU ARE RIGHT FOR THAT but I'm putting them in this scenario to prove a point. And plus, those dark romance peeps are most likely gonna find the wrong aspect hot... idk...

BUT THE POINT IS...

It sorta fits. Why? Imma do a sub-list lmao.

A. The first time they meet

This is on the boots where Delphi does briefly touch Albus's thighs with both hands and obviously, Albus notices it. While this is creepy af, in a dark romance, it could be portrayed as possessive.

B. Yeah so there was this one scene where Delphi praises Albus for mastering the expelliarmus.

ALBUS: Expelliarmus!

DELPHI’s wand flies through the air.

DELPHI: You’re getting it now. You’re good at this.

She takes her wand back from him.

(In a posh voice.) “You’re a positively disarming young man.”

ALBUS: Expelliarmus!

Her wand flies back again.

DELPHI: And we have a winner.

The two high-five.

ALBUS: I’ve never been good at spells.

SCORPIUS appears at the back of the stage. He looks at his friend talking to a girl — and part of him likes it and part of him doesn’t.

DELPHI: I was rubbish — and then something clicked. And it will for you too. Not that I’m a super witch or anything but — I think you’re becoming quite some wizard, Albus Potter.

Ofc asides from the obvious love triangle situation LMFAO...

That part which I highlighted in green... Obviously she did state it in a very awkward way but it seems reminiscent of those fanfics where the mentor lover dude looks at the protag and be like

Mentor lover dude(very rizzily): You aren't actually bad.... You have potential.....(extra rizz)

C. Also that one time Delphi draws a wand on Albus' neck - we could turn it into some romance type stuff. Heck now I think of it, girl kissed bro, tied him up, flirted with him and allat tho at very diff times.

D. Also, judging by twilight, I'm pretty sure age gaps are a thing in romance novels

E. Also judging by twilight, LOVE TRIANGLES!!! Scorpius and Delphi are competing for Albus eyyyyy!!!!

Tbf I don't have much on Delphi, mostly cuz I'd prefer not to think much abt Augurlight... But yeah... I just added it cuz hey....

Now onto my favorite scenario....

2. Forbidden Romance

(Potential Ship - Albus x Scorpius)

Obviously the daddy issues would work here. It could be some romeo and juliet -esque story.

A. STAIRCASE BALLET!!!

B. THE WHOLE HARRY/ALBUS/SCORPIUS PLOT

It be giving "but daddy, I love him!"

And urgh, the final scene of the new version..... "Scorpius is the most important person in my life and he might always be the most important" arghhhhh......

C. In some older boots, Scorpius did pull him back when Amos raised his wand. PROTECTIVE SCORPIUS AYYY!!

D. Scorbus is elite... Nothing else to say...

E. Ig it would be very realistic for scorpius to be all "Albus, you are actually beautiful" tho he prolly wouldn't compare him to risotto :(

F. STAIRCASE BALLETTTTTTT

Guys.... I couldn't think much beyond this. I swear I had much more points and much more convincing points on why Albus could be a good romance protag...

But eyy... here is some of my explanation of my very silly theory...
