OH MY GO

SO, apparently, I’ve been calling Gina Ginerva instead of Ginevra this whole time… I feel so ashamed…

YES

“Albus Severus,” Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to rose, who was now on the train, “you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew.”

bravest, harry says. not kindest, not the most good. not the tenderest or the most pure-hearted. bravest. 

wail and moan about albus severus’ name to your heart’s content, but stop making posts bemoaning how harry should have named him after xyz bc they’d be such better names and doesn’t harry know that snape was a bastard and why would he pay homage to such a gigantic dick? harry never once said that he thought snape was anything other than a dick. 

i swear to god, harry knows that snape is not kind or necessarily entirely good. harry KNOWS. but you know what? snape was brave as all hell and that’s what harry respects about him. that’s the memory harry gives to his namesake - snape’s bravery, snape’s unwavering courage under immeasurable odds. the best of snape was not his love for lily - it was his sheer, pig-headed, almost stupid guts. to walk in darkness every day for twenty years for the mere chance of righting a wrong he helped commit. to lie, bald-faced, to one of the best lie detectors in the world. to help and save people right under the darkest lord’s very nose. 

harry’s choice to give snape’s name to his kid is not some sort of thoughtless thing harry did bc he felt bad for the dude who was in love with his mom. harry has his own fucked-up, complicated relationship with snape, but ultimately he sees what dumbledore eventually saw - the courage that made snape suitable for gryffindor. that made him more than a scared boy grasping for power, a boy who got in way over his head and cost himself everything he loved in life. that made him say yes when an old man asked him to spy not once, but twice. (”if you are ready,” dumbledore says, “if you are prepared.” and snape looks back without blinking and says “i am” in the exact way he said “yes” twenty years earlier.) 

so next time anyone feels an urge to mock harry for choosing snape’s name, take a step back. acknowledge that harry is anything but stupid and so far from naive. that he has every single reason to hate snape, but chooses instead to honor him, to forgive him, to remember his virtues as well as his vices. to use his memory to soothe a scared, lonely boy.

(in the years leading up to albus severus’ birth, i imagine that harry sometimes dream of that night outside of hogwarts, the night that dumbledore died. that he remembers it so clearly - following snape and malfoy, flinging spells. screaming “coward” and the way that snape had lashed out then - and only then. that harry is full of bitter regret for not taking it back when he knew better, for not being able to say his apologies and wring some out of snape in return. and maybe, in some part of his mind, he hopes that snape is watching when he bends down to tell his son about his namesake, the bravest man harry ever knew.)

Christmas was coming. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.

Rose & Scorpius hcs?

Sure thing!

- Never really speaking much the first couple months but inevitably becoming friends through Al.- liking each other romantically since second year but not startingto date until fourth cause they don’t think the other feels the same.- Scorpius kissing her during a study session and beginning to apologise before she pulls him in and kisses him back. They begin dating the next day.- Scorpius teaching Rose to dance before the Yule Ball cause she’s absolutely terrible. - Bonding over a mutual love of the Chudley Cannons and going to games with Ron.- Being super competitive and making bets on quidditch games, even if they’re the ones playing.- Scorpius wearing a ‘Weasley is our Queen’ t-shirt to Rose’s games and cheering louder than all of Ravenclaw put together. - Scorp trying to convince Al to wear one but him flat-out refusing.- Hanging out in the Room of Requirement cause they’re not allowed in each other’s common rooms. - Picking the most disgusting sweets out for each other in Honeydukes and making them eat it.- Scorpius spending half his summers in The Burrow with the Potter/Weasleys and the other half on holiday with his family.- Rose eventually goes on these holidays too after trying to convince Ron & Hermione for years.- Both loving theme parks and buying all those cheesy ride photos.

Think that’ll do for now but if you would like any more or some for another character/ship, just send me an owl!

Dominique was probably the most Veela out of her siblings, Victoire had polarizing beauty, but it was more natural, and Louis was indeed a handsome boy, but Dom possessed her mothers Veela looks.
