Nothing prepares Percy for that. Not the words - he and Marcus know damn well that they’ve developed this almost impossible magnetism between them that goes beyond house, and Oliver’s never been busier.

It’s the feeling that breaks through Percy. The absolute frustration. The simmering repulsion at the thought of Marcus thinking Percy is debasing himself by being here with him somehow just because he isn’t Oliver.

So Percy stares at him with a furrowed brow and a frown. There’s not much time left in the year - it’s a ticking clock until NEWTs, until they graduate, until Percy no longer has an excuse to see and tutor and talk to and experience Marcus every second of every day. And maybe that’s why he finally makes the move, because even if it goes tits up, he won’t have to avoid him for long. “You’re a git,” Percy murmurs, shaking his head. “You’re such a bloody...” Words fail him, and he settles for grabbing Marcus around the back of his neck and inexpertly pressing their mouths together with a huff.

pls give me your harriet's hp verse details! i wanna knooooooooow!

random prompts // @pirateheir // accepting!

always love getting a chance to talk about my kids! especially love when Tessa’s out here, giving love to the other Harriets around here! So, some general background and some more exclusive stuff with @voiceofmany who I worked out most of Harriet’s hp verse with.

Harriet Genevieve Hook is the half-blood, half-breed daughter of the pureblood crime lord Captain James Hook and a siren he met off the shores of Greece - where sirens are more like those traditionally depicted, as opposed to the merfolk in Scotland shown in the HP movies. I’ve yet to figure out if “captain” is just a moniker or if he actually served in some sort of naval force.

Harriet has two half-siblings: Harry, also a half-blood, and CJ, a pureblood, as a nod to my half-joking hc about Harriet being half siren, CJ being half pixie, and Harry being all human and very tired.

James Hook is sent to Azkaban during Harriet’s childhood, about a year or two prior to her enrollment in Hogwarts. She deals with the stigma of her lineage her entire time in school.

Harriet, Harry, and CJ are raised under the guardianship of William Smee, an old cohort of their father’s who had been found innocent of wrongdoing in his trial. She doesn’t refer to Smee as her father but he’s the closest thing to a father figure she has.

She’s sorted into Slytherin, where her cunning and creative problem solving thrive. She grows to be a beater on the Slytherin quidditch team.

She’s skilled in combative magic and thrives in her DADA, potions and transfiguration classes.

Her least favorite class is Care of Magical Creatures, as it makes her feely cagey and uncomfortable. Merfolk, though sentient enough to qualify as beings, self identify as beasts on the whole and as such, Harriet feels uncomfortable around other magical creatures.

Like in all verses, Harriet ADORES Astronomy and is often found sneaking into the Astronomy tower or sneaking extra flights in the Quidditch pitch after hours to watch the sky.

Her siren powers manifest the closer she is to water. She has no tail but incredibly good lung capacity for a mortal and can hold her breath quite long underwater. Her voice takes on more suggestive qualities closer to water and has definitely caused people to stop outside the prefects’ bath when she sneaks in there to bath and lets herself sing.

She grows up to play professional Quidditch for the Hollyhead Harpies or, as discussed with @voiceofmany, may grow up to be a professional battle wizard, since Dove put the idea of magical MMA into my head, which I give full credit to her for.

Now, a bit about my headcanons with @voiceofmany !!

Harriet Hook and Percy Weasley are stupidly in love but will never admit it.

Without any sort of position of authority - sometimes I hc Harriet as quidditch captain, often I don’t as I love getting to write banter with her and Chance’s Marcus Flint over at @pulchramortis - Harriet sort of spirals. In her main verse, she can channel her negative emotions, her drive, her passion into creating a crew of other misfits and banding together. Without that, she tends to isolate herself. She flits from flirtation to flirtation and enjoys causing mischief to relieve the tedium.

She and Percy have clashed for years because of her rule-breaking and his adherence to being the best Prefect and Head Boy possible. But he’s one of the few people who, in Harriet’s mind, didn’t see her as a creature or some sort of exotic novelty.

By OOTP, when Percy is exiled from the Weasleys and working in the Ministry, he and Harriet have become roommates in a small flat where she lives when in the offseason from Quidditch training.

Dove and I have concocted a million different scenarios for how they get together but they’re usually in some sort of romantic thing by the end of the series.

They’re both more touched starved than they will ever admit and Dove and I like joking about how they’re rarely, if ever, apart once they get their shit together

They’re disasters and I fell into this ship way too hard

Also, regarding Dove’s other muses, Harriet and Angelina Johnson are Very Gay and Roger Davies is basically at Harriet’s beck and call. (I’m mostly kidding)

ℒ For your muse to walking in on mine taking a bath

@pulchramortis

It is traditionally known and understood that Percy, as Head Boy, often takes the bath right at the beginning of Sunday evening curfew. There’s a long week ahead. He’s shouldered a significant amount of baggage throughout the entire week, even just trying to keep the students convinced that, no, none of them are going to be murdered terribly by Black as long as they behave and actually follow curfew. No one intrudes until an hour past curfew beginning - because they respect his space.

Which is why it’s strange that the moment Percy has slipped beneath the nearly scalding, bubbly water, only eight minutes after curfew, the door suddenly opens.

Percy stiffens, peeking up over the veritable tower of bubbles. Oh, how he regrets indulging himself in those tonight. He parts them so he can see the intruder better, then shoots out his hand to summon his wand with one hand.

And then there’s…Flint. Flint. Who absolutely does not belong here for another hour.

Percy’s other hand immediately flies to cover his crotch modestly as he begins spluttering, his skin flaming as red as his hair. “Y-You! YOU!!” He slams his wand down and tightens his jaw. “Are you unaware that this bath is currently occupied?!”

“Touch me. I don’t care how. I just need to feel something right now…” // marcus @ percy oof

@pulchramortis

Those words are murmured gruffly from the spot on the window seat that Percy found Flint at, even really before Percy could say anything chiding about sending him back to his dorm with detention. He’d opened his mouth to deliver it, sure, but the second he saw the dead, dull look on Flint’s face, he hesitated.

Maybe it’s a good thing he did.

Percy isn’t even sure how to respond. He doesn’t touch Flint. Flint doesn’t touch him. He comes forward with the thought that maybe he’ll just rest a hand lightly on his shoulder - but instead, somehow, his fingers lightly find Flint’s cheek. It’s hard as marble beneath his touch, but warm, not like the cold statuesque appearance he imagines he always wants to give off.

It’s only when Percy looks up, sees Flint watching him, that Percy drags his fingers elsewhere, to rest heavily on Flint’s shoulder and squeeze. “What happened?”

@pulchramortis

“Flint,” Percy says softly, warily, his brow drawn low and his eyes not moving. He’s not sure what’s happening right now - just knows that it’s his job to keep Flint safe. Flint might have all the privileges of a prefect, thanks to his captain position, but that doesn’t mean he needs to be out and about roaming the corridors in the middle of the night.

Percy flicks his eyes down to the rolled up parchment in Flint’s hand. A letter, maybe? When Flint suddenly makes to go around Percy, he steps backward and whips his wand out, pointing it at his chest so he freezes again.”Flint,” he repeats, far sharper now.

But the old irritation that’s accompanied their seven years of rivalry isn’t there right now. There’s concern in his blue eyes and confusion on his face. “There’s a convicted murderer on the loose right now, and his target is within these very walls.” His voice stays even, as if he was talking someone down off a tower ledge. “The owlery can wait until tomorrow morning, when curfew is over.”

He doesn’t think that’ll be enough. He lets another long moment of silence slip by before he speaks again with cheeks that are flushing. “I don’t want to see you get hurt, Marcus.”

“Aw, where’s th’fun in tha’, Flint? S’not potions if I cannae put someone in their place.” She speaks with a grin that’s almost more a bearing of teeth. Her smile can show just how inhuman she truly is but she doesn’t mind. Enjoys everyone knowing how easily she could chew them up and spit them out. Not that she wants to do that with Marcus - right now, at least. “Don’ you got potions wit’me? Where you headed?”
