----------------------------------------------------------------
Likes: His family, his few closer friends, Quidditch, plants and his father's fame.
Dislikes: Everyone who is against the Resistance as they are against his dad, losing his loved ones to the war, being teased by James due to his shyness, prejudice and being in the spotlight.
Strengths: Loyalty, fairness, cunningness, discretion and potion brewing
Weaknesses: Overprotective of his own, sneaky, shy, anxiety on occasion and lousy liar.
Overall Personality: Albus is a quiet, kind and thoughtful boy. He seems to enjoy the light of his father's fame, but on the other hand his shyness doesn't allow him to enjoy the very spotlight being on himself for too long. He prefers to be the one who helps out rather than the one who does the great deeds. He is the middle sibling and due to that has learned to disarm tough situations between James and Lily, who tend to butt heads often due to their personalities. He also dislikes to be teased by his brother, but has come to terms with the fact that James is simply like that and will never change. He is also not one to hold a grudge. He is very smart, cunning and the owner of a logical mind, like his namesakes and his aunt Hermione.
Albus is also the one amongst the Potter siblings who has the closest relationship to Harry as he never complains, behaves himself and even likes the fact that he has protected him from the war outside as much as was possible. Not that he wouldn't risk his life for his family, he just prefers to stay out of trouble's way until the last moment. When he jumps into danger though, he does so bravely and without looking back. Albus knows that he can count on his siblings for anything when it is best not to upset Harry with things as they grew up to rely on each other due to their father being busy with the war effort. Even though he is very different in behavior and personality to James, Albus recognizes in his older brother another mentor, as it was him who has helped him to handle his gift with a patience and care that he did not think his brother was capable of until the moment he needed it from him.
Even though Albus likes to play sports, namely Quidditch, he is not a highly competitive person and even lacks a bit of self-esteem in certain other occasions. He is more recluse and discrete than his siblings when it comes to his inner thoughts and feelings. Such traits make him a great spy as he can be quiet and sneaky, perfect to follow another without being noticed. He is also loyal and will keep a secret when asked to do so, as he did for Lily after he figured out to where she sneaked out of the camp, but he is also a lousy liar which makes him rely on his cunningness to omit what he cannot say, but reveal all the truth otherwise so he won't be caught in a lie. Albus has a tendency to get anxious when too much attention falls upon him or when he is depended on to perform in a certain way in a conflict. He is though always a fair person in judgement and action, always being by the side of the sibling he thinks is right in any fight and never using his special magical gift as a way to cheat to catch the snitch, always letting it go for a while until he finally catches it when accidents he cannot avoid happen. As a Potter, Albus also abhors all forms of prejudice and tries to get along with everyone socially.

Father: Harry James Potter
Mother: Ginevra Molly Potter (née Weasley)
Siblings: James Sirius Potter and Lily Luna Potter
Others: Teddy Lupin, his many Weasley cousins, uncles and aunts.
Birth Place: Resistance camp in Britain
Current Residence: Cottage in Godric's Hollow
Overall History: Albus was the second child born to his parents in 2005. He was always very loved and cared for by his father and older sibling, even though James does get on his nerves from time to time. Life wasn't easy in the Resistance camp and he grew up to be a bit distant from it all to cope with the losses. Everyday many left to fight and many failed to return or did so injured. Albus understands the meaning of war even though he and his siblings had always been protected by their father as much as he could shield them from it all. Like all the other children born to Resistance members, Albus was taught at the camp by the adults who were willing to do so like Andromeda Tonks and Molly and Arthur Weasley. Always quiet and diligent, he was a very applied student throughout his school life.
Albus was gifted with his wand by his father when he turned 11 and began to study magic skills at the camp with basically the same professors who had taught him reading, writing and math plus his own father when it came to defensive magic later on. Just like one of his namesakes and his paternal grandmother, Albus discovered a great affinity with potions and became a fast master at this subject. At the age of thirteen it was noticed that he became even quieter than usual, only speaking to his siblings for quite some time. It was because his magic was growing and manifested in an unexpected way through a special gift and he started to view himself as odd and abnormal due to this as no other camp kids were like him but James.
Special Magical Skill: Molecular Deceleration - The ability to slow down objects with one's thoughts to the point of completely stopping their movement. Albus is able to halt the movement of objects around him as if 'freezing' them in time without the use of his wand. It does take a lot of concentration and will or fits of frustration to work. His power is channeled through either of his hands.
Current Level of Control: Poor. Just enough not to 'freeze' things every time he moves his hands.
Weaknesses: As this development was mostly unexpected, though not as much to Albus after what happened to James at the same age, he was also not prepared for this specifically. Such fact also interferes in his control as he doesn't know exactly what to do to hold it back to this day, even having received a bit of help from his older brother. Albus cannot completely stop objects which are under spells to increase their velocity, only slowing them down according to their developed speed. The more speed they have, the less they will be halted. When active his 'freezing' ability can only affect objects within a 10 meter radius of himself. Objects that enter such radius after the 'freeze field' is in place are not affected by it. He'd have to use his ability again, which could release other objects previously 'frozen' due to his lack of control. Albus does not yet know how to 'unfreeze' objects at will, so when he uses his ability he has to wait 2 minutes tops for things to start moving on their own accord again. If people are subjected to the effects of his gift, they will simply start moving again and feel nothing, which means they won't know they have been 'frozen'. Albus' gift is channeled through his hands. If he cannot move them, he cannot use his ability. He has noticed that his gift seems to work better if he uses both his hands to channel it at the same time.
Note: This plot point was approved by Admin Redd behind the scenes.
This phase passed after some time as his older brother helped him along the line to at least have a basic control of his gift, so he wouldn't 'freeze' things all the time. Just like himself, his gift was also a quiet one, which enabled him to hide it more easily than James had done with his loud and destructive one. The three siblings supported each other through this time and became closer than ever before.
The war out there was escalating to horrible proportions for some time, already having killed Albus' mother, Ginny Potter, his uncle and aunt, Ron and Hermione Weasley, and a dear friend of his father's Elizabeta Beilschmidt years before in 2009. Actually Albus barely remembers them as he was just 4 years old when they died. In 2020, two months before Voldemort's death, Albus, following Lily as she snuck away from the camp, discovered that she did so in order to see a boy called Everard Flint, who was a Slytherin and possibly leaning towards becoming a Death Eater. He warned his sister of the danger she was in doing so, but promised not to tell their father or James. Knowing his sister, Albus has a feeling that she didn't listen to him though.
Lily's first vision, at the age of thirteen, which freaked her out, happened just after that conversation and was about an attack by the Death Eaters to their camp and the death of many of their friends. After James reassured their sister that because of her warning nothing bad would happen and the gift she had was truly the best one amongst all of theirs, he made sure to let their father know through an anonymous tip note what would happen so he could prepare the others and move the camp in time before they were attacked, which has happened.
A year after that, already on another safe camp location for some time, Harry disappeared for a while, which caused his children to be afraid that something might have happened to their father just as it had to their mother long ago. Lily reassured them that Harry would come back alive and by then both James and Albus had learnt to trust their sister when she said things like that. She then said that he was fighting with Voldemort in a forest they used to camp at as children and had just been stricken by an AK, but that it would not be final. They had to rescue him before it became so. James used his cleverness to let the right people know that their dad had to be rescued before he was actually killed by Voldemort in that forest without revealing the true source of the information, Lily.
Harry having returned well as predicted filled his children's hearts with relief and they stayed very close to him for days after that. He kept talking about finishing that once and for all so they could finally go live their lives as normal people. Albus and his siblings knew by then how determined their father was to take down Voldemort and with his last tether to life gone, whatever happened next to either Harry or Voldemort would be final to both of them. One night Lily had another of her visions, in which she saw that it was Harry the one who would die if he went after Voldemort again.
That was when James came up with the murderous idea. They would make sure that their father would never see Voldemort alive again and thus insure his survival as they could not their mother's. They would go there and kill him themselves. James convinced Albus and Lily that it was in their hands this time to save their father and they agreed with his plan of action.
The next night they left the camp with the help of one of the free House Elfs that lived with them and sneaked into Voldemort's chambers. They knew where they were due to Lily and her previous vision of Harry being killed trying to kill Riddle in his sleep. Albus and James kept giving them protection while Lily guided their way. Once within the Dark Lord's chambers Albus 'froze' the room for a couple of seconds, which was enough, and then James finished it by using his telekinesis to place a knife present in the room through their enemy's heart. Albus didn't believe that James would be able to actually do it until they sneaked out and returned home to the camp after the job was done.
The Potter family was very united though and none of them found it in themselves the will or the strength to lie to their father about what they had done that night when they were confronted with Harry's questions about their disappearance, specially Albus. Off course, Harry didn't take it very well that his children had disobeyed him and got involved into something that he didn't want them into as much as he could avoid it. The last thing he wanted was exactly what had just happened, that his children would know what it was like to kill someone else. His reaction scared them all and then James made a drastic decision.
James tried to use a memory spell on his father, but it failed due to Harry's acquired mental resistance over the years. He then convinced Albus and Lily to help him because it was for the best. They both caved and did so. Once the three of them casted the spell together, Harry's resistance was overwhelmed and it worked. Now their father thought that he was the one who had killed Voldemort as he had wanted to do. The new fake memory was perfectly vivid by taking from James' own experience in doing the deed. Knowing what they had done as accessories to murder and above all messing with their father's memories was an increasing load to Albus and Lily during the next few days and James then used an obliviate to erase their memories about the whole Voldemort thing and the discussion with dad the next day, which means Albus has absolutely no memory of these events.
Shortly after Voldemort's death, they were brought back in time by forces unknown. Now they had a chance to make everything better and save their loved ones. Albus finally had the chance to know Hogwarts as a 'transfer' student from America, Albion Prewett. For a while he had a childish and irrational fear that he would be sorted into Slytherin House, specially due to James' constant teasing. That was when Harry explained to him to origin of his name, told him not to fear and that the Sorting Hat would take his choice into consideration, which was not an information he had shared with his other children. Albus did indeed end up being sorted into Slytherin, but he now sees no problem with that and works as an information gatherer for Dumbledore's Army within the Death Eater wannabes in his house. He has also joined Slytherin's Quidditch team since last year as their seeker and is quite talented at it, though not arrogant.
