Hogwarts Headcanon #2

For the Ravenclaw students who need a shortcut, there’s actually another way to get into the tower. If you tap a certain brick at the botton of Ravenclaw Tower, a small archway opens up and you can go in and walk up a spiral staircase to the common room. It was made by an annoyed 7th year who was inspired by Diagon Alley. If any teachers know, they’re not telling.

LOGICAL HOGWARTS - WIP

So I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. However whilst reading the series, one thing struck me above everything else - the way Hogwarts and the greater Wizarding World is seemingly set up just doesn’t make logical sense! Only one teacher per subject? With JKR telling us that there are approximately 1000 students at Hogwarts at any given time? 493 knuts per galleon? No Wizarding primary schools or higher education? So, me being the autistic Ravenclaw that I am, this took away from my enjoyment of the series. I needed it to make mathematical sense!

So I fixed it.

I have spend two years on and off coming up with a detailed overview of the school, from the number of total students and the male/female ratio, the number of students in every house, in every year, and how many could reasonably fit in one class at a time. Then I started on my class timetables. I had to appropriately plan every student’s schedule to make sure that no one had any overlapping classes, this ended up meaning manually writing down which subjects every student took and then sorting them alphabetically into classes based on the fact that I didn’t want more than 30 kids per class.

That still wasn’t enough though. I then had to figure out how we would get 1000 kids to school safely and efficiently, how we would sort them without making the entire school sit there for 3+ hours, how many professors would have to live at the school in order to provide adequate supervision for 1000 kids, a comprehensive list of school rules, an actual system of how many house points one would gain/lose…… I really dug myself into a hole and I couldn’t stop. In fact I’m still not done and I still can’t stop. There are SO many holes in this world.

Beyond this I have a whole alternate timeline that this whole thing is based on. Long story short, in my headcanon, the war ‘officially’ began with The Battle of the Department of Mysteries (which I have modernised to take place in June 2018) and ended in January 2020 with The Battle of Hogwarts, and then all students were required to repeat whatever year they were in during the war, because holy shit, the fact that they didn’t make any of them repeat a year after that mess is ridiculous. I’m surprised any of them even passed DADA with Umbridge!! Or that anyone accomplished anything the year Voldemort was literally in control of the school. Now I realise that modernising this story is probably an unpopular take - however I must stress how much I’m mainly doing this for myself so I can live out my Harry Potter fantasies in a relatable way lol. Feel free to ignore the modern times and just take my numbers to the original 90’s timeline if you’d rather do that than put yourself into the story like I do.

Also let it be known that I am in my 20’s and a mother of two… but my therapist knows about this and says it’s a HEALTY COPING MECHANISM…. soooooooo, guess I’m gonna just keep writing out this timeline and imaging what life would be like if I was 16 again woo! Anyway… Harry’s year would have to repeat Sixth Year. And believe me when I say the level of intricate detail in my alternate timeline is just wild. If you think I’m crazy for doing just this ‘Logical Hogwarts’ thing….. you don’t even want to see my alternate timeline. It’s wild. I’m way too invested in this. I’ve written over 30k words so far and I’m not stopping.

Also in my headcanon Hogwarts, everyone I like just lives because I’m doing this to escape my depression not to become even more depressed thank you very much! Snape, Lupin and Sirius Black all live and are put in a position where they have to run the DADA department together because, um, IMAGINE THE HILARITY!? Them hating each other, then eventually having to figure out how to work together? Reluctant forgiveness turned sincere apologies turned genuine friendship?? Also Remus and Sirius are so gay and Harry lives with them. Tonks has a different husband, they still both die and Teddy still exists. Harry is still Teddy’s godfather because of the genuine friendship he formed with Tonks. Dumbledore still dies. Originally he wasn’t going to but he just has to, I realised the story doesn’t work if he lives.

So, here we are. The second wave of Logical Hogwarts, re-vamped, rewritten in some parts, lots more added on! Two years and one more kid later! Feel free to take this for personal use or fanfiction or whatever, tag me or message me if you do I want to see your class timetable! Or if you want me to make you a class timetable I’ll do it!

(Disclaimer; I still look after my kids I promise. I just don’t sleep which is how I have time for this ;))

I’ve tried to make this as easy to read and navigate as I possibly can, so I’ve created a seperate page for every different aspect of this world. I didn’t like the look of the master post and scrolling for so long was overwhelming. So, here it goes…

Hogwarts student body (the numbers)

Hogwarts student body (the names) Hogwarts dormitories

Hogwarts prefects and head boy & girl Hogwarts staff & faculty Hogwarts School Rules (this was THE MOST fun to write) The Hogwarts Express (but it makes sense now)

The Sorting Ceremony (but it doesn’t suck now)

People always wonder why I guess their house so easily after spending a bit of time with them. Well, here's my trick:

Ravenclaw - book smarts; knowledge of hobbies and interests that can very easily be turned into a profession, knowledge of incredibly niche interests that can be widespread and shallow or specific and deep, full of little bits of information you never knew you needed to know

Hufflepuff - people smarts; knowledge of how to read people and comfort them, how to gain people's attention and get the room to respond how you want them to, how to take everyone's differing opinions and turn them into a diverse masterpiece

Slytherin - strategy smarts; knowledge of how to convince people to see your side of things and get people on your side, how to lose a battle but win the war, how to take losses and transform them into a win and to know when to let a lost battle go

Gryffindor - street smarts; knowledge of how to act on your feet, how to rally a fierce battle cry from unwilling soldiers, how to hype up an anxious friend and how to gain the determination to follow projects through until they're complete

Reblog but add what your Hogwarts house is/what you think it'd be

I'm Slytherin

Here are the traits for each house:

Ravenclaw House prizes learning, wisdom, wit, and intellect in its members. Thus, many Ravenclaws tend to be academically motivated and talented students. They also pride themselves on being original in their ideas, and methods. Ravenclaws possess the traits of cleverness, wisdom, wit, intellectual ability and creativity. ... Students in Ravenclaw are noted for their individuality and acceptance of people and things that others would consider weird, as well as their outstanding intelligence.

Slytherin values ambition, cunning, leadership, and resourcefulness; the Sorting Hat said in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone that Slytherins will do anything to get their way. The house mascot of Slytherin is the serpent, and the house colours are green and silver.Slytherins are hardworking and desire success. They are known to achieve great things (even if not always good things). They are the kind of people who make you want to be better just by being around them. They are determined and resourceful.

Gryffindor. Gryffindor is one of the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, founded by Godric Gryffindor. The particular characteristics of students Sorted into Gryffindor are courage, chivalry, and determination. The emblematic animal is a lion, and its colours are red and gold.

Hufflepuff values hard work, patience, justice, and loyalty. The house mascot is the badger, and canary yellow and black (or golden yellow and graphite in the Fantastic Beasts films) are its colours. During the books, the Head of this house is the Herbology Professor Pomona Sprout, and the house ghost is the Fat Friar.Hufflepuff is the most inclusive among the four houses; valuing hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its students. Hufflepuffs were known to have a strong moral code, and a sense of right and wrong. Hufflepuffs were usually accepting of everyone.

Slytherin students figuring out how to charm the doorways to the separate dorms so that trans slytherins can get into the dorm they’re most comfortable in. They also, after a lot of trial, error, and collaberation with some Ravenclaw students, manage to create and construct a third dorm for any nonbinary students that don’t feel comfortable with either gendered dorm.

Ravenclaw Headcanon

Ravenclaws love taking in new information and that doesn’t always mean reading. Sometimes they like listening to other people’s opinions and thoughts. Other times they want to try something new, and learn in a hands on way. Sometimes it’s just them finding joy in observing the world around them.

Can you imagine wizards at Hogwarts today quoting vines and making memes?

Hufflepuff in potions class: [takes vial] This bitch is empty! [throws] YEET!

Slytherin: This is so sad. Alexa, play Potter Stinks!

Gryffindor: Hi, my name is Trey and I have a Quittitch game tomorrow!

Professor: There’s only one natural enemy to the Werewolf.

Ravenclaw: [gasp] A child!

Headcanon for Hecate's kids :D

Ok, so... Headcanon time! (Also, sorry for my bad english. I'm from brazil :P) The folks of cabin 20 have this "true magic casting" (As seen in the wiki lol) So, I imagine they attract monsters earlier than other half-bloods, thanks to that, few actually make it to camp, those that do are rarely taken on quests, as they attract more monsters. We also know that Hecate can be a tough parent, and I believe that she is more selective than other gods, and thanks to that, fewer demi-titans are born. I just wanted to share that. Thanks for reading lol.
