Butterbeer kisses (Read here on ao3)

February @jilymicrofics prompt used: No. 22: Labyrinth

Inspired by @tedwardremus & @formerlympp

“Look there’s an empty table there!”

“Where?” Remus craned his neck.

“There, right at the back,” James said, nodding his head.

“Finally,” Peter grumbled and led the way. The Three Broomsticks was heavily crowded, since it was Valentine’s day, with both the villagers and Hogwarts students.

Once at their table, Sirius hooted happily, plopped down in the corner and dragged the menu towards him. When Lily walked over to the other side, James smiled and pulled out a chair for her. Returning a small smile, Lily sat down, ignoring the heat rising up her neck.

It was probably because of the sudden warmth of the cottage, anyway. Probably.

“I think I'll finish my lunch here,” Mary announced.

“Yeah, me too.” Sirius sent an inquiring glance towards Lily. “Unless, anyone wants to go to Puddifoot’s?”

Lily sent him a fake smile. “You’re lovely, but no, thanks.”

She caught his eyes darting to James before he continued. “I’m actually surprised that you’re not there right now, Red.”

“Why would I be at Puddifoot’s?” Lily asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I just thought you would be.” Sirius shrugged.

“Yeah, me too,” Mary mumbled with a smile, her eyes on the wooden table.

“I’m just going to have a butterbeer,” James announced suddenly and got up. “Anyone else?”

Once their food arrived, they chatted about school work and other Hogwarts gossip as they ate. Faces alight and stomachs full, they exited the pub, walking towards the lane leading back to Hogwarts.

Lily stopped and gestured behind her. “I need to visit Scrivenshaft’s,” she waved, “I’ll meet you guys in the common room later.”

She stalked towards the quill shop, tightening her scarf around her neck.

Navigating the throng of students in the shop was harder than finding a table at Three Broomsticks. Lily pushed through, finding her way through the labyrinth of shelves and drawers until she reached the eagle quills section, at the far end of the shop.

“Hello.”

Lily jumped at his voice. “James!” she turned around to look at him. He wore his maroon bobble hat and Lily wondered if his hair was as messy as it usually was underneath it. His cheeks were tinted pink because of the cold and he grinned as he brushed snow off of her hair.

Sweet merlin.

“Hello,” he repeated, catching her eyes. Her breath hitched as she felt the pads of his fingers brush her skin. Her eyes darted down to his lips, and she wondered if they still were as soft as she remembered.

Then she mentally chided herself for thinking that. It was an isolated incident over Christmas, involving mistletoe. Besides, they had avoided talking about it, always skirting around the topic.

James was still looking at her when she looked back up, and Lily swallowed as he wet his lips involuntarily.

Is he going to-?

He stepped closer to her and Lily found herself holding her ground, not leaning away. His hand came up to cup her cheek, sending shivers down her spine and she lifted her head, eyes searching his face as he leaned down, slowly, inch by inch, eager to meet his lips with hers-

“Do you promise to not run away this time?” James whispered, not even an inch away from her, with the hint of a grin in his voice.

Lily snapped her eyes open and pushed him away. “You are a prick, Potter,” she muttered angrily and turned on her heels.

A yelp escaped her as he pulled her back by her arm and his hand came back to her cheek again as he kissed her. Lily stood surprised for a moment before melting into the kiss.

James' arm circled her waist and he held her up as she leaned into his chest, suddenly warm all over, encased by his body heat. His lips were as soft as she remembered, Lily noted, savouring the taste of butterbeer on his lips.

She snaked her arm around his neck, pulling herself upright and James smiled into the kiss, playing with the hairs on the nape of her neck, before sliding his hand down slowly along her spine. His hand paused at the curve of her hip, grabbing and squeezing, and elicited a gasp out of Lily.

A cough broke them apart and Lily blinked furiously, looking at James’ flushed face and plump lips. He beamed as he straightened his glasses, looking at the annoyed worker who had interrupted them.

“Take this somewhere else, lad,” he said. “There are children around.”

Shooting lesson

a young John(12) and young Arthur(22) short story

Arthur teaches John how to shoot, but patience isn't his strong suit.

This one has a little kick to it uhm

NO SHIP INTENDED

☆☆☆

The loud bang of a rifle echoed through the valley, startling the animals nearby.

The rifle's recoil had been too much for John, forcing him to step back after firing, the loud noise of the gun scaring him just as much. His shoulder ached from holding the weapon wrong.

He looked at the glass bottle, still perfectly intact on the wooden fence, not even close to being hit.

"You've got to brace your body, John, I told you that already!" Arthur shouted, even though he was just a few steps behind the boy.

"I'm trying!" John snapped back, adjusting the rifle against his shoulder like it was a broomstick, the butt barely resting against his shoulder.

"No, what you're doing is flailing around like jelly every time you shoot."

"That's not true! Shut up!" John fired again, more to shut Arthur up than anything else, but this time, the recoil jerked the rifle upward violently.

"Are you aiming at the sky?"

"If you're not going to help, then don't talk! I know how to do this on my own... I just... I just..." John was starting to get nervous, and Arthur's dwindling patience wasn't helping.

Arthur rolled his eyes, walking towards John with heavy, firm steps. He snatched the rifle from him with a sharp motion, showing him once more how to hold it properly.

"Look, hold it steady, but not too tight. The butt should be firm against your shoulder, or it'll knock you senseless for the rest of the day," Arthur positioned the rifle against his own shoulder, demonstrating with the precision of experience. "Now, aim with your good eye, take a deep breath, and squeeze the trigger—don't yank it."

"You think you're so good! But it's not that easy, Arthur! Give it back!" John reached for the rifle again, trying to snatch it from Arthur.

"You're not even paying attention."

"I don't need to because I already know how to do it! It's just that a rifle is too heavy for me!" John began to push Arthur, who lifted the rifle with one hand while using the other to hold John’s head back, trying to keep him at a distance.

"It's heavy because you're a runt! Start working out, lift more flour sacks at camp, build some muscle!"

"Shut up, Arthur! I-I can do it, but not your way!"

"Fine!" Arthur shoved John, not hard, but enough to make him step back, then handed the rifle back to him. "Do it your way then. But if you miss again, we're done. I've wasted an entire afternoon on this, and if you don't really want to learn, fine! We're outlaws, we need people who can handle a gun, not whine all day and get in the way!"

John froze for a moment, staring at Arthur with wide eyes. The weight of the words and the shove hit him harder than he expected. He swallowed hard, feeling a lump form in his throat, and quickly turned away from the taller man as the familiar sting of tears welled up in his eyes.

He scrunched his face, trying to hold back the tears so he wouldn't seem weak in front of Arthur because, even if he'd never admit it, John admired him and wanted Arthur to see him as capable. He aimed the rifle again, but as he looked through the sight, he noticed it trembling—his arms were shaking from nerves, anger, and the lump in his throat.

Arthur didn’t have the patience for this, but how could he? He’d grown up surviving, always on the defensive in a world that had been so cruel to him, from the mother he never knew to the drunk father who abused him. How could he possibly muster patience and understanding when he barely knew them?

But he realized that the pressure of their life, the burden of learning to use a weapon before learning basic human skills, blinded him to what was really happening—John was just a kid. He’d suffered too and had come a long way. He hadn’t known what a family was for a long time until he crossed paths with them, and even then, he wasn’t the best at it, especially when he treated John this way.

By the time Arthur realized his mistake, it was too late. John simply gave up, lowering the rifle slowly before letting it drop to the ground, and then walked away toward the horses.

"John..." Arthur called out, but the boy didn’t turn around. "Come on, let's keep practicing." The older boy felt a heavy weight in his chest and began to walk after him. He placed a hand on his shoulder. "Come on, John, let’s keep shooting. I’m sure that—"

But John jerked his shoulder away from Arthur’s hand. "I want to go back to camp. It's getting dark," he said in a hurt voice that made Arthur feel even worse, but with his pride so large, an apology was hard to say.

"There's still time, and I won't be able to teach you tomorrow."

"Good," John whispered, still not looking Arthur in the eyes, staring down at his feet instead.

"What did you say?"

"I said good!" John looked up at Arthur, his eyes watery and angry, staring right at him, making Arthur feel the pressure. "I'll ask Hosea to teach me! Or Dutch! I don’t know why they keep sending you to teach me when you don't even like me!" John was now letting out all his anger at Arthur, and Arthur just let him.

"John, you don't—"

"I don’t want you to teach me anymore! Let’s go!" John ran to Boadicea, and with some effort, managed to mount her. He crossed his arms, looking away from Arthur so he wouldn’t see the tears on his face.

Arthur let out a heavy sigh and walked over to his horse. He didn’t mount it, just stood beside it, looking up at John's face, searching for the right words.

"Did you know that at your age, I didn't even know how to hold a revolver in my hand?" he finally said, hoping John would keep the conversation going. If not, he would get on the mare and ride off.

“Sure,” John replied sarcastically, followed by a loud sniff, still not looking at him.

Arthur started to stroke Boadicea, trying to calm his nerves. Apologizing was never his strong suit. “It’s true. I couldn’t have even shot a sleeping sheep in a pen.”

John’s body relaxed a bit as he wiped away some tears. “So, when did you learn?”

“When I was fourteen, when I joined the gang. I was pretty bad at first…” He chuckled, recalling a small anecdote from those days. “But I kept practicing.” He paused. “And I’m sure if you keep at it, you could even be better than me.”

John’s eyes widened, and he finally turned to look at Arthur from atop the horse.

“And what if I never get it right?” John asked.

“You’ve got the technique; I noticed.” Arthur admitted, scratching his head with a nervous laugh. “I didn’t want to tell you because… I guess it’s easier to say you stink at it. But you could be really good. You just… need to keep practicing.”

John looked at Arthur, his expression now calmer. He nodded and then slowly dismounted Boadicea. “There’s still some time left, right?” he asked.

“Plenty.” Arthur patted him on the back, and they started walking back to where they’d been practicing.

The older boy handed the rifle to John, adjusting it in his grip to make sure he was holding it properly. John took a deep breath, exhaled, aimed carefully, and…

“Hey, John?” Arthur stopped him just before he shot.

“Yeah?” John said, lowering the rifle slightly.

“I’m sorry,” Arthur said, staring at the ground. “You’re not a burden. I’d like to keep teaching you.”

John listened closely, smiling and nodding in response.

He aimed again, inhaled, exhaled, adjusted his sight, and…

The sound of glass shattering echoed through the air.

Jilytober Day 22

Disappeared for a minute because real life got in the way, but finally had some free time this evening! Here's my try at today's @jilytoberfest prompt:

October 22nd Prompt: "How long have you been standing there?" "Longer than you'd like."

Lily bit her lip and adjusted her grip on the Quaffle. She tried to focus solely on the three hoops in front of her — not the sunrise making her squint, not the challenge of keeping her broomstick balanced in the light breeze — as she tossed the unwieldy ball straight ahead with as much power as she could muster. It arced toward the hoops.

Unlike the last twelve shots she'd taken, this attempt didn't fall short or curve too far to the left or right. But just as Lily started to believe that her aim had been true after all—

"Damn it!"

—the Quaffle smacked directly into the side of the middle hoop and dropped unceremoniously toward the ground. Oh, well.

Lily watched, irritated, as the ball fell fifty feet onto the neatly trimmed grass of the Quidditch pitch, bouncing lamely toward the stands. In theory, she knew that she ought to have dived and caught the Quaffle out of the air, but she'd given that up after a few tries, deciding that it would be less frustrating to work on one Quidditch skill at a time. Instead, she repositioned her hands carefully on the broom handle before nudging the front end downward, all the while ticking off a mental checklist of Madam Hooch's old tips about form. Straight back, bent knees, dominant hand in front...

Lily's dive was more successful than her toss had been. She felt reasonably accomplished as she reached the ground, sweeping horizontally to an easy stop — or at least, she did, until she hopped to the ground and her broomstick immediately plummeted to earth. Ugh. It was definitely supposed to stay suspended in mid-air.

Lily huffed and put her arm out. "Up," she said. The broom leapt to her hand.

She let go. It dropped again.

"Oh, come on!" Lily exclaimed. It was way too early for this. "Up!" The broomstick zoomed into her hand again, stinging the palm.

Lily eyed it suspiciously. "Stay," she commanded. Tentatively, she took her hand off the broomstick. It kept its place in the air, hovering about three feet off the ground.

She took a slow step backward, watchful gaze on the broom. It remained airborne.

Letting out a breath of satisfaction, Lily turned and started trudging toward the Quaffle, which lay near the entrance of the pitch. She had barely walked three feet before she heard a loud thunk.

Lily whipped around toward her traitorous broomstick, which was now lying innocently on the ground, and swore. Colorfully.

Forget this. Lily was wasting time that would be better spent practicing her throwing and catching. She would just carry her broomstick with her during the game, and this little hovering trick would be entirely irrelevant. Solved.

She stomped back to the broom. "Up!" she called, catching it and throwing it over her shoulder. She turned around to grab the Quaffle, ready to get back into the air.

"Catch!"

Lily jumped. The Quaffle was soaring directly toward her, but the sharpest athleticism she could manage on instinct was to awkwardly bat it away. Her boyfriend, James Potter, stood before her, looking vaguely amused. "All right, love?"

She flushed bright red. "What are you doing here?"

James raised his eyebrows. "Last time I checked, I'm still Gryffindor Quidditch Captain for a few more days." He grinned. "You planning to try out?"

"Oh, shut up," Lily grumbled, feeling heat all the way from her forehead to her chin. "I was just leaving." James continued to grin as Lily stuck her nose in the air, stalking toward the stands with as much dignity as she could muster. When she'd gotten a few steps past him, James grabbed her around the waist from behind and swung her in a circle through the air.

Lily half shrieked and half giggled. "Oh my god, James," she said, "Put me down! Now!" He obliged, setting her down briefly before pulling her backward toward him and kissing her sloppily on the neck. Lily turned and smacked him on the shoulder. "You prat," she said, laughing, before kissing him on the lips. "How long have you been standing there?"

"Hmm, I don't know," James said mock-thoughtfully. "Longer than you'd like, I suspect." He winked as Lily glared. "You know, three attempts ago, I thought you came quite close to a goal."

"Shut up," Lily repeated. "What are you doing here, anyway? It's six-thirty in the morning!"

James shrugged. "Sometimes I like to go for an early fly."

"Oh." Lily kicked herself internally. He'd definitely mentioned that before...

"And you're out throwing Quaffles at sunrise, because?"

Lily rolled her eyes. "Oh, fine," she said grumpily. "If you must know, I was practicing for Saturday." She felt herself starting to blush again. Every year, James rallied his mates to organize an inter-house Quidditch game for the kids in their year (bar Slytherins) on the weekend after exams. Lily had never even watched the game before last June, but now that she and James were officially dating...

"I thought that might be it," James said. "Out of practice?"

"You know perfectly well that I haven't ridden a broomstick since first year! Am I supposed to embarrass myself in front of everyone?"

"It wasn't a jab, Evans," said James, reverting to her surname, as he always did when he wanted to reassure Lily that he was only teasing. She swallowed, and the burst of temper receded as quickly as it had come. James kissed her on the brow and wandered over to the Quaffle. "You know," he said casually, picking up the ball and brushing dirt off the side, "You could have asked me, if you wanted some pointers. I'm fairly decent at coaching." He looked over. "Any reason you didn't want me about?"

Last year, Cindy Clearwater had scored a game-winning surprise goal at the end of the post-finals match, leading to general cacophony and a stolen, spontaneous kiss. Not that Lily was trying to...recreate this, exactly. She wasn't twelve years old. It had just been very romantic, that was all.

"No reason," Lily finally replied, a bit cagily. She wasn't about to admit that she'd spent the first few weeks of last summer thinking about all her friends cheering in victory while Cindy's hands had twisted up into James's untamable hair...

He didn't press. "Well," James said, "I'm here now. Alright if I join?"

Lily nodded and James grinned, mounting his own broomstick. "Forget the school brooms, they're rubbish," he told her, gesturing in welcome. "You'll have much better luck with this one. Hop on."

And they soared together into the air.

So, alright, Lily thought half an hour later, watching the Quaffle fly through the hoop. Maybe she wouldn't impress James on Saturday with a flash of unexpected skill. But as he wrapped his arms around her on the broomstick, taking her hands in his to correct her grip — as they scored Lily's first goal together and James whooped with delight, too loudly, right in her ear — Lily found that Quidditch could be much more fun than she had ever realized.

Smutmas Day 31 part 3 of 4

I've got an hour left. This is fucking happening people!

Prompts:

18 - One more cheesy pickup line and I’ll bend you over the table and fuck you in front of everyone

21 - If we weren’t in public right now, I’d have my head between your legs

22 - Shut your mouth - make me

NSFW, public sex, mxm

The New Years Eve party at the Three BroomSticks was underway.  Young and old wizards alike were crowded together, ready to bring in the new year.  Everyone was filled with spirits as midnight approached, friends and lovers together, drunken antics at an all time high.

Well, most everyone was happy.  Sebastian and Leander, not so much.  Both had lost the admiration of MC to Ominis, who seemingly swooped in out of nowhere to win the girl’s heart.  They had both been hitting on several females throughout the night, neither being successful in finding a date, even if just for the night.  

They sat together in a corner booth, sipping away at a butterbeer and lamenting over how the girls could possibly be turning them down.  Leander looked down between his legs, standing up to show Sebastian.

“I mean, just look mate, I feel like I’ve been hard for hours now.  I just want someone to get me off.  I am so fucking horny.”  

“What the fuck Leander, don’t show me that - I get it, you’re hard, I didn’t need to see the tent in your pants.”  Sebastian lowered his head into his drink.  It had been an interesting night that the two were getting along, so it was no surprise to Sebastian when Leander seemed to get to and cross over a line.

Leander grabbed himself, squeezing, “Seb, you don’t get it, I was expecting to release the giant squid tonight and get ink all over the fucking place.”  He groaned as he sat back down, hand still on the bulge in his pants.

“Holy shit Leander, shut your mouth!” Sebastian took a deep swig of his drink, swallowing down the rest of the drink.  

“Make me!” Leander replied, unbuttoning his pants for some relief.

Sebastian rolled his eyes and mumbled “I’ll fucking make you, bet you’d like it,” as he stood up and began to walk away.  “Gettin another drink Lee, I’ll bring you one.”

Leander blinked a bit, having heard Sebastian’s mumbled words, and sat there considering them.  He did want to get off, and frankly, he didn’t care too much how it happened.  He thought about looking below the table, his own cock out, Sebastian’s hand pulling on him, while he worked Sebastians’.  He woke out of his fantasy as Sebastian sat back down, throwing a drink at him.

Swallowing half the drink in one go, Leander was working up the courage to hit on Sebastian, see where things may go.  “If we weren’t in public right now, I’d have my head between your legs Seb, that would shut me up.”  His face flushed red, not looking at Sebastian, instead just looking around the room like what he said was the norm.

Sebastian turned his head slowly, eyes wide, looking at Leander.  He wasn’t sure he heard him correctly at first, but seeing the blushing man let Sebastian know that Leander had indeed admitted to be willing to suck his cock.  He felt himself grow hard at the thought.  

Before Sebastian could say anything, Ominis and MC came over to the table.   More like MC was pulling Ominis over to the table.  She was happy and laughing, sitting herself down next to Sebastian as Ominis crashed into the table.

“Sorry Omi,” she laughed, clearly tipsy.  “Sebastian!  Leander!  Are you having a wonderful night?  Ominis is being his usual self, getting mad at me for no reason.”  They all heard Ominis growl and lean over to whisper not so subtly into MC’s ear, “Don’t make me take you home and punish you.”

MC hummed in response to Ominis, pushing herself up and leaning across the table.  She made sure her ass was pressed against Ominis when she grabbed Leander’s face and placed a kiss right on his lips.  She did the same with Sebastian, making sure she gave a loud ‘smooch’ sound so Ominis would know exactly what she was doing.  

“MC,” Ominis grumbled, he grabbed her hips and pulled her down off the table, picking her up and walking away as the other two just stared at the odd interaction.

“Damn, I’m even harder now.  Bet he’s gonna go fuck her right now.”  Leander put his hand back on his cock and started to rub.

A few minutes passed, both of them sitting in silence, rubbing themselves under the table.  When another female approached, Leander stood, too drunk to remember to remove his hand from his pants.

“Hey, do you play Quidditch?  Because I look like a keeper.” Leander swallowed, “No, you look like a keeper.  Wait, l…let me try that again.”  Too late, the girl had already left.

“Fucks sake Leander, one more cheesy pickup line and I’ll bend  you over the table and fuck you in front of everyone.”  Sebastian had heard enough of the annoying redhead, and was ready to fuck him just out of annoyance.

However, Sebastian’s statement was exactly what Leander wanted to hear.  When another girl came by, not even coming towards them, Leander called out to her.  “Hey, hey you, yeah -  I can make you scream.”  She looked at him with a bit of fear.  “No, not in a bad way, like, you can trust me, I’m not drunk, I’m just intoxicated by you.”  He smiled at her as she scoffed and walked off.

Sebastian stood, pushing the table further away from him, and grabbed at Leander.  “Get over here, you dumb shit.”  Leander stumbled as he moved in front of Sebastian, who quickly pulled the redhead's pants down just enough to expose him to the world.  No one was paying any attention, everyone caught up in their own drama.

“I told you what would happen if you did that again.”  Sebastian shoved his pants down, letting his hard cock pop out and lay against Leander’s back.  He pushed Leander forward slightly, spitting into his hand and wrapping it around his cock, getting himself ready to enter Leander from behind.

Leander stayed silent as Sebastian prepped himself, holding onto his own cock and pulling on it slowly, taking in the world around him acting as casually as he could.  “Oh fuck yes,” his need was palitable, and as Sebastian entered him from behind, he did his best to keep quiet.

“You’re going to take this whole cock Lee.”  Sebastian didn’t give him much of a choice as he shoved himself fully inside of Leander.  “You wanna fuck tonight?  I’ll fuck you.  You can release your stupid ink all over the bottom of this table while I fill your tight little ass with my cum.  Now keep your fucking mouth shut.”

Leander did as he was told, bringing his cup to his lips to keep himself quiet.  If anyone looked over at the two, it would have been fairly obvious what was happening, but at this point, neither cared.  Sebastian was fucking Leander hard, his head hanging back as his fingers dug into the slender hips of the Gryffindor.  Pushing Leander’s hand aside, Sebastian began stroking him to the brutal pace he was taking, until he felt his balls tighten up.  

“You better cum, Lee, right fucking now.”  Demanding that they cum together, Sebastian released his load into Leander, and the feeling of the hot liquid filling his ass forced the orgasm out of him, coating the underside of the table.  

They took only a moment to rest, both sitting back down, Leander slightly uncomfortable, and doing up their pants.  Leander stood, moving away from the table.  “I’ll get us another drink, yah?”  

“Right mate, I need to rehydrate.  Maybe we can go for another few rounds?”  Sebastian smirked.  Leander nodded as he walked up to the bar, wondering if the next round he could have Sebastian fuck his mouth.

[fideliusnews]

hi friends! in a very shocking turn of events (pun intended!), i've got a bit of a history lesson for you all this month. we all know and love our little village of hogsmeade, every student's favorite weekend getaway during the semester, but who knows about its founding? my guess would mostly be my fellow hufflepuffs, as the founder was one of our very own! hengist of woodcroft settled hogsmeade sometime in the 11th century to be an all wizarding village free from the persecution of muggles. it's also the only all wizarding village in britain to this day. a feat worth a weekend filled with celebration in this journalist's opinion! so how about we get onto the fun stuff?

celebrated every november, hogsmeade's founder's festival includes a number of special booths and festivities put on by the entire village. some highlights of this years festival will include an open mic at the three broomsticks, face painting at scrivenshaft's quill shop, cocoa at madam puddifoot's tea shop, mini tree decorating at dogweed and deathcap, and fireworks provided by zonko's joke shop on sunday evening!! each shop will also be featuring a variety of discounts to celebrate good ol' hengist, so be sure to take advantage for the upcoming holidays!!

further event details can be found under the cut!! this has been your favorite festival queen, mayumi signing off!!

the event will begin on november 17 at 12am est/5am gmt, and will run until november 22 at 11:59pm est/4:59am gmt.

all event related starters should be placed under both the fhqsstart and fhqsevent002 tags.

please note that in game, this event only takes place on saturday and sunday.

Car Batteries: The Magic Core of Electronics

Title: "Car Batteries: The Magic Core of Electronics"

A Chat with Hagrid in the Garage

The garage smelled of motor oil and magic—Hagrid’s giant hands were wrapped around a car battery, his bushy beard twitching. “This here’s no ordinary battery,” he rumbled, tapping it with a wrench that sparked faintly. “It’s the heart of your car’s magic—like a phoenix feather core, but for engines.”

I leaned in. “Just a battery, right?” “Just a battery?” Hagrid boomed. “Why, this little fella powers everything from your headlights to the enchanted maps in your dashboard! Mess it up, and you’ll be stuck faster than a first-year on a broomstick.”

Let’s unlock its secrets.

1. The Battery’s Magic: Core of the Car’s Spell

A car battery is the Philosopher’s Stone of your vehicle—a lead-acid (or AGM/lithium) cauldron that stores electrical energy. When you turn the key, it unleashes a surge of power, like casting Alohomora to start the engine.

Key Charms (Specs):

Voltage: 12.6V at full charge (peak magic), 13.5-14.7V when the engine’s running (like a wand channeling magic).

Capacity: Measured in Ah (Amp-hours)—think of it as how many spells it can cast before needing a recharge.

Types:

Lead-Acid: The old school wand (3-5 years life, $70-$150).

AGM: The holly and phoenix feather (4-7 years, $180-$280, better for cold climates).

Lithium Hybrid: The elder wand (8-10 years, $250+—Prius owners swear by it).

Danger Zone: Letting voltage drop below 11.8V? That’s like breaking your wand—irreversible sulfation (a curse that kills batteries).

2. Chargers: The Healing Spells for Batteries

Even the strongest cores need healing. Enter smart chargers—the Murtlap Essence of car batteries.

Smart Charger: Like Episkey for drained batteries. Uses pulse technology (Pat. US2024157832) to extend life by 30% (MIT 2025). Perfect for winter storage.

Jump Starter: The Portus charm for emergencies. Jumps engines at -30°C (NOCO Genius 10 works like a charm). But don’t leave it connected >3 minutes—you’ll fry the ECU (like over-casting Expelliarmus).

Solar Charger: The Sunlight Charm for RVs. But beware cloudy days—output drops to <0.5A (useless as a broken telescope).

Critical Ritual: Charge with the hood open! Hydrogen gas (from the battery) explodes at 4% concentration—like mixing Felix Felicis with firewhiskey.

3. Buying a Battery: Diagon Alley vs. Knockturn Alley

Not all batteries are created equal. Hagrid’s rule: “Stick to the trusted shops, or you’ll end up with a dud like a fake wand from Borgin and Burkes.”

Walmart’s EverStart Plus ($70): The Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes special—same cells as Costco’s $100 battery, but cheaper.

EverStart Maxx ($180): Carbon-infused plates (like dragon heartstring cores) for -30°C starts. Worth the Galleons.

RED FLAG: Avoid shelved batteries >6 months—they lose 12% capacity (electrolyte stratification, the Dementor’s kiss of batteries).

Perk: $15 core refund (lead recycling—like returning a borrowed wand to Ollivander’s).

4. Replacing a Battery: The Sacred Ritual

Changing a battery is like mending a broken wand—mess up the steps, and you’ll regret it.

The Proper Sequence:

Prep: Wait 10 mins post-ignition (ECU hibernation—don’t wake it too soon, or it’ll forget spells).

Disconnect: Negative FIRST (black cable), then Positive (red). Reverse order = 1,000°C firework show (like Fiendfyre under the hood).

Install: Torque terminals to 4-6Nm (overtightening cracks posts—like snapping a wand core).

Activate: Slow-charge 12hrs (awakens the magic—adds 22% lifespan).

Cost Breakdown:

Dealer: $280 (battery) + $120 (labor) = Gringotts-level prices.

Walmart: $210 (battery) + FREE install = Hogsmeade bargain.

DIY: $180 (battery) + 0 labor = Muggle savings.

5. How Long Do They Last? The Curse of Time

A battery’s life depends on three things: type, temp, and care.

Lead-Acid: 3-5 years rated, but Florida taxis die in 22 months (heat boils electrolyte—like leaving a potion on the fire too long).

AGM: 4-7 years rated, Canadian SUVs hit 7.5 years (cold slows decay—like a Freezing Charm).

Lithium Hybrid: 8-10 years rated, Prius record 11 years (but BMS failure is the Horcrux—hard to destroy, but deadly when it fails).

Extend Life Spells:

Weekly Highway Runs: 20 mins burns sulfate crystals (like Scourgify for the battery).

Winter Blanket: Insulation boosts cranking amps by 40% (like Warming Charm for your core).

Summer Shield: Reflective hood cover drops engine bay temp by 20°C (keeps the cauldron cool).

6. Safety: Avoiding Battery Curses

Batteries are powerful magic—treat them with respect.

Never Wear Metal Watches: 2,400 cases/year of wrist arc burns (like touching a Cursed Fire doorknob).

Ignition Off During Swap: BMW ECUs brick easily ($2,000 repair—like losing your wand in the Forbidden Forest).

Safe Protocol:

Acid-proof gloves + goggles (electrolyte pH=0.8—stronger than Polyjuice Potion).

Vaseline on terminals (70% corrosion reduction—like Reparo for metal).

The Final Charm

Car batteries are the unsung heroes of the muggle and magic worlds—quietly powering everything from headlights to enchanted dashboards.

“Remember,” Hagrid said, patting the battery gently, “Treat it right, and it’ll never leave you stranded. Mess up, and you’ll be hoofin’ it like a first-year who missed the Hogwarts Express.”

And I realized—some magic is best kept simple.

Written by a witch who once fried a battery trying to charge it with a wand. (Spoiler: It sparked. A lot.)

🔋 A battery’s magic is in the care you give it.

Late May

On Saturday, May 10, I offered to clean WIlliam’s apartment. And he left me on read, which began a depressive episode for me. I checked my schedule for the week, as an official manager and they didn’t give me the 40hrs that they had told me I was going to get. And I was about to have three days off, with no plans.

The three days off weren't so bad. Sunday, May 11, I slept in till 11AM. I got ready and walked to the park. I read A Court of Thorns and Roses. And then walked back. Showered and napped until it was time to leave for the buffett.

Monday, May 12, I had to help my dad, because my mother had an appointment in the morning. I texted WIlliam, and he finally answered me, but I was still in a really bad mood. He said, “Ur great I’m a mess.” As soon as I was done, I went to the library and journaled for a while. I went home to eat, and then left for the mall. I bought a few bras, and walked around for a little. But I didn’t really want to be there. When I got back I had a small argument with Francisco. (I told him I was feeling depressed and he said that I just have to change what I was doing. Which upset me because I felt like I was already doing my best.)

Tuesday, May 13, I got ready and went to work out with Fill. And continued my argument with Francisco. I asked my mom to go to the beach, and she said no, and I got very upset. But after talking to Dani, I calmed down and resolved to go to the park. It was so hot, the bugs were sticking to me. But I am still glad I went to the park.

I closed as a cashier Wednesday (14) and Thursday (15). Friday, May 16, I was supposed to meet Bar, But he partially stood me up for a third time. And that really did it for me. Then I got a text from William that he might cancel on me for Monday, but I let him know I was feeling really depressed, so we planned for Saturday into Sunday.

Francisco came over Friday night. We pretty much slept in all Saturday, May 17, until I had work.

I was in a really bad mood, when William picked me up Saturday, from work. We got really fucking high, and fucked, which was nice. Sunday, May 18, we fucked again and then went to First Watch, in the morning. We had a small argument when we got back, which made me sad. He confirmed that we were not a couple, and couldn’t really communicate what he felt for me or what type of relationship we have.

Francisco had Monday May 19, off, so he took me to my therapist appointment and then we went to Dennys.

Tuesday, May 20, we took my dad to the hospital.

Wednesday, May 21, my mom and I went to La Colonia, and took a covid test. And then went to visit my dad.

Thursday, May 22, my mom and I ran some errands (Walmart, and UPS), and I went back home. It was Francisco’s birthday, so after work, I took an uber to a restaurant where Francisco and his family were. We had drinks and I drove back to my apartment. We had restless sleep.

Friday, May 23, Fransisco was hungover from the night before, so I convinced him to call out of work, and spend the day with me. We got the news at 5AM, that my father had passed, and I was glad Fransico was there to support me. We drove to the hospital, and we got to see him for a little while.

We then went to the funeral home, down the road and began the process. When we got home, I went back to sleep. I then picked my sister up around 12PM. We ate. And then went to fill out paperwork at the funeral home. We picked up Peter and all went to eat at the Chinese Buffet. Once we were back, I packed my bags and we left to Francisco’s. I cried because he was liking other girl’s pics.

Saturday, May 24, we left for Universal at 6AM. Got there for 9AM. We rode six rides, and had a lovely dinner at The Three Broomsticks. When we got back to the hotel, we showered, and then left to pick up water and went to sleep pretty early.

Sunday, May 25, We left around 10AM. And got back at 230PM. We got to see my dad for the last time. But Fransico and I got into an argument. I was on edge about being able to see my father for the last time, and was irritated when Franscio almost took the wrong turn. Francisco left, after dropping me off, which made me sad. I ordered ramen for my mom, Peter and I. And then I napped till Vanesa came by with the car.

Monday May 26, I dropped Peter off around 5AM, at the airport. I then went back to sleep, till I had to pick Vanesa up at 11AM. We tried to go to Butterfly World, but the tickets were costly. We drove around for a little, until we decided to go back to the apartment. I napped until we went to the Colombian restaurant. And from there, we took my sister and Savon to the airport.

Tuesday, May 27, I went to urgent care, to finally treat my UTI. I picked up my meds. Took a shower. William picked me up, around 8PM. He went straight to the bedroom, and fucked. He was so loud while I sucked his cock, I loved it. He was really sick and called out in the morning. A little past noon, we got Dunkin' and he dropped me off.
