Re: Al/Harry
Harry chuckled slightly. "Over the quaffle, yes, but I prefer the quaffle over a cauldron. Any day," he said with a smile. "You were always the one who was good at potions in the family," he said, shaking his head. "I prefer cookbooks to bludgers," he said with a smile. "But then I can see more uses of them than being hit by them, or hitting others with them. Bludgers are okay as long as they hit the other team, and I prefer them over a cauldron too," he said.
As brilliant as he knew that Severus was at potions, he didn't particularly like hearing his son talk with such adoration. It wasn't healthy, but he said nothing. "I've seen him brew in class and in a lab, I know his skills," he said neutrally. "I would suggest not telling him he'd be a Ravenclaw, I'd say he's rather proud to be a Slytherin." He was always partial to them, after all.
