Lovely fic, enjoyed it from start to finish. Also enjoyed how the Slytherin house did take its toll on Albus but in the subtlest of ways; he ends up becoming something of a smarmy, ambitious little git but still comes out the other side of his first year with the hallmarks honesty and bravery (and recklessness) that are pretty much infused into the Potter-Weasley bloodline. His relationships with all of his friends are well written and natural but the fascinating, complicated friendship he develops with the OC Albert Prince was my favorite, if only because he's a psychopathic Weasley twin on speed with a predilection for absolute barminess and a fanboyish obsession with wizarding history. He has his own spinoff and believe me, the character merits it.
just finished it, toying with the idea of a reread
