    Summary

    “Never fear, brother,” he said. “I’ll not let you be skewered by some high flung mummer.”

    “I’d hardly call the Faceless Men ‘high flung mummers’,” said Aegon.

    Aemond rolled his eyes and snorted. “Think of it this way, they’re probably not even after you.”

    “Mother seems to think so,” said Aegon.

    “Our mother,” said Aemond. “Is in the unique position of both fearing for your well-being and also hoping it is in danger if only to have her ambitions vindicated,” he said. “Hers is not an unbiased opinion.”

    --

    Just because Aegon has no designs on the Iron Throne doesn't mean that the wider world is aware of that same fact. When a potential plot to assassinate the Heir to the Iron Throne is uncovered, there is question as to whether the true target is the king's daughter, or his son. To mitigate both threats, Aegon and Rhaenyra are sequestered away for their own protection to wait out the long, tense night.

    Summary

    "Slytherin would do well, help you on the path to greatness," the hat seems to be coaxing him, but for something that can read his mind, it sure doesn't seem to know him very well.

    Harry doesn't want greatness. He doesn't need his name in lights and on everyone's lips. He wants meals, hot ones, whenever he wants, with people that he likes and that like him. Friends he can have adventures with, huddle under the blankets with at night and laugh with. People who might think… think he's worth something.

     

    In which Harry is sorted into Slytherin, and Snape deals with the fallout.
