What a lovely story! I'm so glad Lily showed Albus that even though he has different interests than the rest of the family, he's still part of it. She values him because she knows he'll respect her, even when she's in serious trouble. That's a powerful thought for a fifteen-year-old boy who's searching for his identity...

The other thing I loved about this story is how Albus has befriended Scorpius Malfoy. It can't be easy being Draco Malfoy's son and to be friends with the "misfit" of the Potter family probably does a lot for Scorpius' outlook on life, too.

I'm going back to read this story again.

Oh the joy and pain of childhood insecurities. No matter how hard you try the kids always feel left out of something or unfairly singled out.

It was nicely finished - lol blue tentacle undersides!

Thank you, Mystery Author! This was a really cute story!

I can sort of imagine Harry & Ginny as parents not knowing how to deal with a brainy kid like Albus, and I think you portrayed his typically teenage feeling of not-fitting-in really well :-)

I'm glad he formed a friendship with Scorpius and that Lily manages to reassure him that he fits in after all.

Also, the last line made me giggle.

Fantastic, lovely story! Nice and captivating with good details.

It was strange at first to think of Hermoine as an "Aunt", but then it kind of grew on me :P

And damn those other Potters and their adventurous ways! Nerds unite!

Sweet! I love his self-doubt and the way he suddenly realises how important he is, that he has a niche - something that's so obvious to Lily that it's not even worth mentioning. You nailed the sibling relationship perfectly!
