Random Things That I Scripted For My DR
-height of 189 cm
-five octave vocal range
-I was born without a reproductive system so no menstruation or chance of pregnancy (I’m asexual anyway but still 😭)
-Alzheimer’s/dementia does not exist
-book series that I love (such as Harry Potter or The Hunger Games) that weren’t written yet/finished by 2006 (where I’m shifting to) came out at a different date (Harry Potter is from the 70s, THG from 1996-2006)
-gay marriage is legalised in Ireland in 2008, not 2015 (😭)
-I’m scripting that a LOT of things from nowadays exist in 2006, that includes Subway Surfers (😭), the Sims 4, Danny, Drew and Kurtis; and AO3 😭
-I also changed around a lot of things from The Sims 4 and scripted that a LOT more things are basegame because EA’s business practices with their games are pretty damn predatory!
-this is more of something I’m manifesting in that reality than something I’m scripting (because it hasn’t happened yet there), but Loreena McKennitt WINS the 2007 World Music and 2014 New Age Grammys!!!! I’m still upset to this day that she didn’t! Also, in the same vein, Celtic Woman WINS the 2016 New Age Grammy!!!!!
-AI CANNOT exist and never will be able to
-the Library of Alexandria was never destroyed
-and we have records of ALL of Sappho’s poems, not just fragments!!!!
-Orson’s character in Desperate Housewives wasn’t RUINED
-she’s dead now but that Kabby actually happened (that’s Kate and Abby from NCIS if you’re wondering)
Okay, I can’t think of anything else right now, but here’s a picture of a cat to grab your attention:

Thank you for reading this! Slán! Love ye ❤️

A more in-depth breakdown of my DR albums:
Enchanted (1992) •11 songs
It’s all Celtic folk. Well, most of the songs were written by me, but they’re still in that sort of style.
Copies sold: 57,000 (over 3x platinum in Ireland)
Bean na hÉireann (1995) •14 songs
“Bean na hÉireann” translates to “woman of Ireland” from Irish, which is a rather apt name for an album consisting entirely of Irish folk songs (other than Wild Mountain Thyme at the end…but we don’t talk about that…). Although all songs are Irish, there is a noticeable hint of more Mediterranean-style music mixed within.
Copies sold: 101,000 (over 6x platinum in Ireland)
Visions in the Night (1999)•11 songs
Yeah, I started going full-blown world music style at this point…the Byzantine Lyra was calling me…it’s certainly a more introspective album, and it’s somewhat darker in tone. All songs are written by me in this one.
Copies sold: 1,000,000 (over 66x platinum in Ireland 😭)
Vagabond (2001)•9 songs
Throughout all my life, I’ve traveled a lot. I’ve always been curious about other cultures and my musical career has only increased that interest as I’ve learned how other peoples conjure melodies. Vagabond is a reflection of that aspect of my career, of my many journeys as a troubadour throughout Europe, Asia, and even parts of Africa. Still, I maintain a Celtic core, just blended in with other musical traditions.
Copies sold: 1,600,000 (over 106x platinum in Ireland 😭😭)
Yuletide Carols (2001)•8 songs
An album of Christmas songs is something that many musicians feel compelled to make, and I was one of those such musicians. I’m no Mariah Carey, but I do think I sung some nice hymns surrounding the birth of the Christian Messiah.
Copies sold: 750,000 (50x platinum in Ireland)
Beyond the Veil (2003)•11 songs
Something I’ve always wondered is what lies within the human soul? What is it that we hide beneath our mask? Moreover, what is hidden all around us? What lies beyond the veil? This album tries—and hopefully succeeds—in reflecting my seeking of that, a quest which has fuelled both my musical and literary career.
Copies sold: 2,000,000 (133x platinum in Ireland and 1x platinum in the US!)
So there’s a brief overview of my albums! I’ll have full coverage of them soon, but I don’t have the tracklist for all of them yet! I hope you enjoyed reading about this! 💚

i tend to imagine my drs a lot. especially through touch and it's so interesting how vividly i imagine.
i've "felt" rushing streams against my bare feet, my soft pink bedsheets, the spine of my favorite fairytale books, my friend's hair, the cold wind against my cheeks, tight hugs from my grandma and so much more to list here. from medieval castle walls to dirt from the ground. all that i'm feeling can be true — i've already imagined them.
i believe the velveteen rabbit taught five year old me that everything that is real was imagined first

Why do I feel like the stigma with girls shifting to hogwarts/Harry Potter universe has some layer to misogyny and pick me-ish/not like other girls' behavior. Maybe it's the ultra feminism inside me and overthinking, but I just feel it in my bones cause we all know how people(even women themselves) be like when a teenage girls like anything

a real tried and true guide on how to survive hogwarts
part i , disclaimer, context, credentials
hi. if you're reading this, you're either about to shift into hogwarts, you already have and need help, or you're nosey and looking for gossip. all three are valid.
anyway. this isn't a spellbook or a diary or whatever. it's just a guide. a stupid little guide written by a girl who shifted into hogwarts the summer before her seventh year. that girl being me. obviously. hi hello.
i'm half veela. i'm a gryffindor. i'm a pureblood and head girl. technically (allegedly) related to russian royalty (dad's side, no one fact-check that, thanks). also james potter's cousin, which is either a blessing or a lifelong comedic hex. we'll get into that.
currently, in my dr, it's march. it's 1977. yes, it's the marauders era. yes, it's sadly as complicated as you've been told. so i've been here long enough to know what's worth your time and what isn't.
this guide isn't anti-anything. it's not anti-harry era or pro-marauders or whatever tribal loyalty people feel the need to swear by. and i'm just a girl who saw a castle full of moving portraits and violently unregulated boarding school dynamics and thought, hm. better write some of this down.
expect inconsistencies. expect ellipses. expect brackets and edits. this isn't a perfect object. it's not even aesthetic. it's information, tempered with experience. and a little whining. and a lot of caps lock. i'm not neutral but i'm fair. if i tell you to avoid a corridor, it's because i tripped there and dented my knee against a suit of armour. if i tell you not to trust the astronomy tower at night, it's because i've been dragged out of it by two prefects and a howler.
– e.
part ii , the houses. dos, don'ts, notes, secrets
okay let's get one thing cleared before the owl post starts piling up: none of the houses are better. i wish. not in the way you think anyway. they're just differently annoying. it's like living with four different niche twitter cults who all think they invented......anything. you're not here to choose the best one. you're here to learn how to survive the neurotic interior of four medieval social experiments without losing your wand or your mind. so. welcome. let's start breaking this down. house by house. alphabetically. fair's fair.
gryffindor ,
꒰ gryffindor ꒱ do:
know who you're friends with. the tower has cliques like it's a bloody court. if you're not in the quidditch lot or the prank lot or the girl-in-the-bathrobe-eating-dried-figs lot, you'll get lost. and trust me, once you're cast out of the rhythm, it's impossible to catch up without some kind of public redemption arc.
keep snacks under your bed. someone will raid your trunk. it'll be your fault if they find nothing. chocolate frogs disappear fastest. bertie botts are currency during exam season.
back your friends in public. you can fight in private, that's what stolen bathroom mirrors are for. loyalty here is loud. you defend your people or you find new people. it's that simple.
get good at hexes. not big ones. just enough to make a point. people respect a girl who can disarm someone.
꒰ gryffindor ꒱ don't:
ask about the portrait passwords more than once. people will think you're daft or a spy. or worse, a ravenclaw.
ever speak badly of lily evans within earshot of literally anyone. ever. even if she's wrong. she's not wrong. even when she is.
think you're above house drama. it will find you. it's like poltergeist fog. you breathe it in.
try to make peace between sirius and james when they're having one of their competitive breakdowns. just leave the room. leave the building. floo somewhere else.
꒰ gryffindor ꒱ notes:
our common room smells like treacle, smoke, and someone's broken dream journal. the rug hasn't been cleaned in 40 years. it's alive.
you'll develop an immunity to boys screaming at 3am. embrace it. eventually you won't hear it. it becomes ambience.
at least three people have kissed on every windowsill. probably more. watch where you sit.
there's a secret corridor behind the second years' dormitory that leads to a trapdoor in the library. don't ask how i know. just be careful. it squeaks. use it for late-night escapism or very niche dares.
if you lose a sock, check the fireplace. the raccoon has black friday sales.
꒰ gryffindor ꒱ secrets:
the first year with the biggest eyes is usually the one who will hex you first. don't underestimate them. especially if they knit.
someone once summoned a raccoon into the tower. it lives in the fireplace. we feed it sometimes. it knows too much.
marlene mckinnon's perfume has been banned on two floors. still not sure how she made it. allegedly involves rosewater.
there's a love letter carved behind the girls' staircase. it's in latin. no one knows who it's for.
hufflepuff ,
꒰ hufflepuff ꒱ do:
be honest. they'll know if you're fake. they're terrifying like that. they read body language.
bring extra quills. someone always forgets theirs. and they'll remember if you helped.
help clean the common room when they ask. it's a test. pass it and you're in.
compliment their plants. especially the named ones. yes, the ones with names. and histories.
꒰ hufflepuff ꒱ don't:
mock herbology. not even as a joke. you will be hexed with something fungal. a boy sneezed spores for a week.
try to flirt during study time. they have boundaries. it's revolting. save your seduction for the courtyard.
underestimate their memory. they remember everything. birthdays. betrayals. your essay title from october. you'll be confronted.
mess with their food. they will find out. they will seek revenge. it will be edible. and poetic.
꒰ hufflepuff ꒱ notes:
the dorms smell like parchment and cinnamon and sometimes....... chalk? don't question it.
there's a tunnel behind the fourth table in the dining hall that leads straight to their kitchens. don't try it. you'll be caught. and possibly recruited.
their prefects have a secret meeting schedule. not even mcgonagall knows it. or she does. she's just letting them win.
they trade biscuits. it's currency......kind of? shortbread is the galleon. oatcakes are for petty debts.
꒰ hufflepuff ꒱ secrets:
the password to their common room changes based on mood. it's... sentient?? or nosy. possibly both.
they keep an unofficial journal of the year's drama. it's charmed!!!!!! to be invisible to outsiders.
if you ever cry in their bathroom, someone will hand you a full skincare kit within minutes. i don't know how they do it. it's disturbing.
one of them dated a ghost once. no one talks about it but we all remember. it was a phase.
they've won the secret best-kept dorm award six years in a row. not officially. but we all know.
ravenclaw ,
꒰ ravenclaw ꒱ do:
knock before entering. even if it's a public space. just do it.
carry a notebook. not to write into it to pretend you have thoughts. doodle some runes at least.
memorise the library's quiet zones. they will excommunicate you. and hiss.
fake knowledge about obscure magical theory if cornered. confidence is key. say "as aquinas wrote" and walk away.
꒰ ravenclaw ꒱ don't:
correct them. even when they're wrong. especially when they're wrong. and if you do well.....godspeed idk. be ready to have a debate.
joke about rowena. seriously. just don't. you'll be hexed. and then footnoted.
ask to copy their notes. just no. they watermark them. you'll be exposed.
try to bond over books unless you've actually read them. they'll test you. it'll get socratic.
꒰ ravenclaw ꒱ notes:
their dorm smells like ink and lemon tea and something vaguely metallic. one time it smelled like ozone. still no answers.
they hex their door with riddles. if you fail one, you have to wait. yes. really. it once took me two hours to get in.
some of them live like victorian ghosts. shawls. candles. unexplained sighing. and yet somehow........chic?
the girls' dorm has a wall that writes back.
꒰ ravenclaw ꒱ secrets:
there's a ghost cat that only appears during exams. pet it for luck. avoid it if you've cheated.
the top floor of the tower hosts midnight debates. you need an invite. and a thesis.
someone keeps rewriting hogwarts: a history with footnotes and scandal. it's 400 pages now.
the portraits in their corridor gossip. say anything near them and it'll be everywhere by breakfast.
they have a drawer of confiscated enchanted pens. don't ask and don't take.
slytherin ,
꒰ slytherin ꒱ do:
keep secrets. even dumb ones. it'll earn you points. they clock loyalty fast.
make allies, not friends. at least at first. friends come later. after the blood pacts.
know the rules better than they do. use that. loopholes loopholes loopholes.
compliment their robes. they'll pretend it doesn't matter. it does.
꒰ slytherin ꒱ don't:
mention gryffindor.
ever say the word "mudblood." even here. especially here. that's not clever. that's outdated. and stupid.
try to sneak into their dorm. it'll spit you out. and then curse you. and then tell everyone.
touch anything labelled in green ink. it's not for you.
꒰ slytherin ꒱ notes:
their dorm smells like stone and mint and disappointment. it's weirdly comforting.
their beds have curtains so thick you could murder someone and no one would know. not saying anyone has. just saying they could.....
their prefects are terrifying. but also hot??? unclear.
they have a mirror that tells you things you don't want to hear. avoid. unless you hate yourself. then it's a party.
꒰ slytherin ꒱ secrets:
the lake window shows things that aren't real. or maybe they are. depends on who you ask. or what mood the squid's in.
someone keeps brewing perfume in the potions room. smells like rain.
one of them cursed the scales to always say 7lbs less. nobody's fixed it. people just plan outfits around it now.
if you bring them blood pops, they'll tell you anything. literally. even who snuck into the staffroom last tuesday.
there's a staircase behind the second potions closet. it leads nowhere. or somewhere. or maybe just down.
part iii , the core classes
okay so let's talk about classes. like yes you're here to learn magic blah blah but also. you're in a castle full of kids with issues and sugar highs and everyone's wand is like one wrong flick away from becoming a sentient hazard. the classes are where the chaos concentrates. the professors are mostly unhinged. the curriculum makes NO GODDAMN sense. sorry. ahem. half the textbooks contradict each other. some of the ghosts help. some of them haunt.
this is the 70s so everything's about ten years out of date. the robes itch. the desks have been cursed at least once. and everyone is tired. so. here's the guide.
┊
transfiguration , professor mcgonagall. icon. terrifying. if you don't cry at least once in her class you're either soulless or very very lucky. she does NOT tolerate lateness or whispers or incorrect posture. but if you're good at it, she'll like you. and if she likes you, you're safe. for now.
꒰ do ꒱ sit near the front. show you're serious. even if you're not. practise every day. it's not a theory class. it's kinetic. your wand hand will ache. embrace it. volunteer answers. even if you're guessing. she respects boldness. it's gryffindor-ish. learn the difference between switching spells and vanishing spells. FAST.
꒰ don't ꒱ bring food. once a kid brought a treacle tart and transfigured it into a ferret. interrupt her. you will be called a disgrace and compared unfavourably to a rock. try to cheat. flirt in class. she will hex your lips together. happened last year. we remember.
꒰ notes ꒱ the desks shift. don't ask. just sit quick. the textbook is full of lies. go off the blackboard. her animagus form has been known to spy on us. act accordingly. transfiguring live animals is banned. for good reason. no one wants a hamster lamp situation again.
꒰ secrets ꒱ if you leave her a good cup of tea in the classroom before a test, she grades softer. the back left drawer in her desk has notes from when she was a student. cursed notes. there's a transfigured toad in the wall. it sings. no one talks about it.
┊
charms , professor flitwick. tiny. delightful. will take points and still smile at you. he's got a high tolerance for chaos but not for rudeness.
꒰ do ꒱ sit in the middle row. safest zone. practise wand movement until it's muscle memory. ask questions. he LOVES them. bring colour-coded notes. he will notice. he will coo.
꒰ don't ꒱ speak over him. ever. skip homework. he checks. obsessively. mock his height. obviously. you'll regret it. laugh during levitation lessons. the feathers have feelings.
꒰ notes ꒱ he sometimes gives extra credit for neat handwriting. his quizzes are riddles disguised as instructions. his lessons are fun until someone's eyebrows get set on fire. which is often. he names the classroom objects. the chalkboard is mildred.
꒰ secrets ꒱ he collects chocolate frog cards. if you gift him a rare one, you're untouchable. there's a charm that makes ink smell like anything. he'll teach it if you ask nicely. once levitated an entire row of desks during a duel demo. wore a bowtie. if he whistles during class, it means he's about to call on you.
┊
potions , professor slughorn. obsessed with potential. if you have a famous relative, he knows. if you have talent, he wants it.
꒰ do ꒱ show up early. claim the good cauldron. befriend the slytherins. they get the best ingredients. pretend to be modest. he loves a "humble genius." write neatly. sloppy handwriting = disappointment.
꒰ don't ꒱ question his methods. he gets pouty. bring weak ingredients. he'll sniff them and go "oh dear." mock the slug club. even if it's stupid. breathe too loud when he's mixing.
꒰ notes ꒱ the classroom is too warm. always. cauldrons WILL explode if you stir wrong. someone lost eyebrows. slytherins run the room. navigate with caution. start dating one, you'll be fine. why do you think i started dating coryo?? love? soulmatism? please. i need a passing grade. the fumes are mildly hallucinogenic. it's fine.
꒰ secrets ꒱ he keeps a vial of unicorn tears in his pocket. always. the third shelf has a jar labelled "confiscated." don't touch it. if you write your essay on bezoars, he'll nod like he discovered them. once cried during a lesson. said it was allergies.
┊
defence against the dark arts , professor merrythought retired last year. current one's name changes like every term. this year it's professor dorian clare. new. weird. probably cursed.
꒰ do ꒱ act impressed. he eats it up. ask him about his travels. he WILL monologue. copy his notes exactly. he marks for phrasing. be ready to duel. at all times.
꒰ don't ꒱ mention previous professors. especially if they died. point out when he contradicts himself. duel unless you're ready to be humiliated. fall for him. i beg. it's not worth it.
꒰ notes ꒱ his lessons feel fake deep but the spells are real. the classroom changes temperature based on vibe. he's allergic to frogs. unrelated but fun. he quotes poetry in lectures. ignore it.
꒰ secrets ꒱ keeps a cursed locket in his desk. once sparred with mulciber and won. barely. the mirror behind his desk isn't a mirror. rumoured to be part veela. denies it. suspiciously well.
┊
herbology , professor sprout. earth goddess. mum. will help you even if you're awful. but don't touch her plants without asking. seriously.
꒰ do ꒱ wear gloves. always. label everything. she loves organisation. work with hufflepuffs. they know things. compliment her earmuffs. she has twelve pairs.
꒰ don't ꒱ laugh at the plants. fake knowledge. she'll know. mess around with mandrakes. even baby ones. steal seeds. that's a one-way trip to detention.
꒰ notes ꒱ the greenhouses are HOT and GODDAMN HUMID. dress light. the dirt is charmed to not stain. mostly. screaming is normal. ignore it. sprout hums when she's in a good mood.
꒰ secrets ꒱ there's a cactus that predicts rain. don't ask how. she grows peppermint near the windows. it's enchanted. one of the plants eats essays. it's contained. mostly. the watering cans are alive. they judge.
┊
history of magic , professor cuthbert binns. maybe this will be biased but i liked history of magic.........
꒰ do ꒱ sit near the door. for a fast exit. write the date at the top of every page. it's the only thing that'll make sense. learn names and years by brute force. use flashcards. hex them to float around your bed. sleep learning. it's the only way. bring food. binns won't notice. or care.
꒰ don't ꒱ ask questions. he won't hear them. and if he does, he'll ignore them. raise your hand and he'll glide through you. try to take notes the normal way. you'll lose your mind. make eye contact with a hufflepuff. they're always asleep. it's contagious.
꒰ notes ꒱ binns is a ghost. died in the staff room. came back to teach and never left. the room is always cold. bring layers. he doesn't breathe so the lectures never pause. it's like being waterboarded with centuries. no one knows how he grades. the essays just come back. marked in blood? ink? ectoplasm? unclear.
꒰ secrets ꒱ sometimes he mutters things not in the syllabus. listen closely. once he whispered about a goblin conspiracy and the fifth floor mirror. another time he named a centaur like he was in love. if you answer one of his rhetorical questions, he nods once. that's how you know you're still alive.
part iv , the electives
so. electives. you don't get to pick them straight away. you're like fourteen when they hand you the form. and if you're me, you picked based on what sounded the least like maths. or what your cousin dared you into. or because someone older said something cryptic in the common room and you spiralled. whatever........... point is, some people treat electives like side quests. they're not. they're real. they eat your timetable and your sleep and sometimes your dignity. choose wisely. or don't. i didn't. and i'm fine.
except divination. divination has personally ruined my life. but we'll get there.
astronomy , professor sinistra. who is indeed very peculiar. ("wait wasn't she from the golden trio?" YES. and i still scripted her in).
꒰ do ꒱ bring your own star maps. the school ones are outdated. selwyn does not teach by textbook. she teaches by memory, myth, and whatever the hell she scrawled in the margins of her doctoral thesis. sit at the front of the dome if you can stomach vertigo. the best angles are up there. know your greek. know your roman.
꒰ don't ꒱ mention horoscopes. mention "mercury retrograde." mention co-star. i beg. this is astronomy. not tiktok's pet branch of astrology.
꒰ notes ꒱ the observatory is always cold. dress accordingly. do not fall asleep during moon tracking. she'll mark your chart in blood-red. she brings coffee in a thermos shaped like saturn. this means nothing but also everything.
꒰ secrets ꒱ the notes she gives are coded. not metaphorically. actually coded. she uses constellations as mnemonics and once buried a test answer in a kepler footnote. one time, she said she'd been to the moon. didn't elaborate. someone found a vial of moon dust in her drawer. it glowed.
┊
ancient runes , professor vesta rowan. terrifying. dressed like a victorian librarian who survived ragnarok. smelled like ink, iron, and lightly scorched vellum.
꒰ do ꒱ memorise your alphabets. all of them. futhark, younger futhark, anglo-saxon, proto-cuneiform if you're ambitious. she doesn't believe in "translation." only "unveiling." sit near the fire. you'll need the warmth. copy her annotations exactly. they read like spells and might be.
꒰ don't ꒱ joke about tattoos. do not try to "guess" meanings. if you get it wrong, she'll break your quill. happened to me in november.
꒰ notes ꒱ there's a crow that sits by the window during full moons. we do not acknowledge it. the runes etch themselves into your memory if you study hard enough. sometimes literally.
꒰ notes ꒱ there's a drawer in her desk full of unsolved inscriptions. you can look if she likes you.
┊
divination , professor selwyn. she's loco in the coco. no notes.
꒰ do ꒱ act respectful. she reads doubt like others read palms. bring your own tea leaves. school supply is weak. nod even if you don't understand. especially then. her lessons are 70% metaphor, 30% trauma flashback.
꒰ don't ꒱ mock the art. she'll say "not everything real is rational," and stare until you feel medieval. don't fake visions. she'll know. don't ask her to predict grades. someone did and got told "do you want to die before june?"
꒰ notes ꒱ she burns herbs for clarity. you'll cough. she says that's part of it. the crystal balls are real. they reflect your fear. her deck of tarot is older than the castle.
꒰ notes ꒱ once wrote a prophecy on the ceiling and erased it the next day. no one knows why. she once said "the tower will fall." no one knows what tower. we pretend it's metaphorical.
┊
and here comes the word of mouth editions !!!!
care of magical creatures , kettleburn. missing half a leg. and most of his patience.
you will get clawed. bit. burned. one student got winged in the face by a hippogriff. another fainted at the sight of a thestral. kettleburn says things like "well if it doesn't kill you, it teaches you something." he is not joking.
꒰ student reportings ꒱ bring raw meat to class. not as a snack. as a shield. bow properly. always. every creature is either insulted or flattered. there's no in between.
꒰ lore ꒱ there's a forest ledger. kettleburn updates it by hand. not magically. with a pen. says the trees don't trust charms. the creatures don't listen unless you do the voice. what voice? you'll know.
┊
arithmancy , from the archives of the insufferably bright (my boyfriend's yappings)
professor vector is mean. but fair. but mostly mean. she teaches like she's on a clock. possibly literally. the math is real. the stakes are theoretical. the board changes mid-equation. if you don't get it, she doesn't slow down.
one time, someone cried into their notes and they rewrote themselves in binary. vector called it "progress." there's no spell in the curriculum. it's all logic.
┊
ghoul studies , student consensus: what the fuck but also....... maybe genius?
professor: finch. first name unknown. maybe doesn't have one.
꒰ heard ꒱ it's not about ghouls the way divination isn't really about teacups. it's about haunting, but in the bureaucratic sense. ghosts are romantic. ghouls file paperwork. there are theories. finch talks a lot about "undead sociology" and "post-human civic integration."
꒰ report ꒱ the textbook is three inches thick and mostly footnotes. no gossip to read here, everyone comes out of that classroom a shell of themselves.
do not skip class. the ghouls will notice. and they keep attendance. somehow.
┊
muggle studies , aka the elective people took when they thought it'd be "easy." they were wrong. professor ellis. ex-ministry.
it's not about what muggles are. it's about what wizards think they are. which is worse. half the class is just unlearning magical propaganda. ellis starts every term with "muggles invented plastic. your wand can't do that."
(i got lazy, you're not getting alchemy. but then again literally does anyone take alchemy?)
part v , the before-part
let's pivot back a bit. because before you're elbow-deep in essay deadlines or crying in a third-floor girls' bathroom because someone transfigured your quill into a metaphor for emotional repression...... you have to actually get there. hogwarts doesn't just scoop you out of your boring little life and plop you into an enchanted sociopolitical fever dream without a little foreplay.
so here's everything you need to know before you even step foot on the school grounds. this is the real prologue. the chaos before the curriculum. the orientation they don't put in the welcome packet because they assume you'll just... "figure it out." okay.
⋆ ˖ ౨ৎ ˚
꒰ step one ꒱ the letter. theeeeee letter. it's not a prank. yes, it looks like one. yes, it arrives via bird. yes, the handwriting is suspiciously nice. still not a prank. if you're muggle-born or raised, act surprised. it gets deliver weird.
it'll be on heavy parchment, folded with unnecessary drama, sealed with red wax. you'll get a supply list. there will be no prices. they assume you're either rich or resourceful. start budgeting now.
꒰ step two ꒱ diagon alley. ok. here's the dealio. diagon alley is like a magical version of a tourist trap. except you're the tourist and the trap is very real. bring someone who knows the layout. or fake it. walk fast. look busy. pretend you've been there before. where to get your shit:
robes and uniforms . . madam malkin's. yes, she will pin you too tight and ask rude questions. survive.
wand . . ollivanders. awkward. you will knock something over. they'll clap.
books . . flourish and blotts. expensive. the discount section is cursed but manageable.
cauldrons and glassware . . bring gloves. the shop reeks of vinegar and broken dreams.
pets . . no one cares if you don't get one. don't let them pressure you into buying a frog. frogs are maintenance.
which shops are scams , most of knockturn alley. anything with a name you can't pronounce. any place that smells like burnt thyme. if someone tries to sell you "dragon essence," walk away. that's not dragon anything. that's snake oil. or worse...........piss.
how not to get mugged , keep your coins hidden. don't pull out your pouch in public. don't say "i'm new here!" like it's cute. it's not. you'll be followed. talk less. glare more. especially if you look rich or muggleborn or lost.
꒰ step three ꒱ platform 9¾. yes, it's a wall. yes, you walk through it. no, you're not being hazed. the trick is momentum. commit.
how to find it , go to king's cross. look for platforms 9 and 10. find the barrier. wait till no one's watching. walk into it. trust physics. or magic. same thing here.
who you’ll see there , purebloods with overpacked trunks. muggleborns with fear in their eyes. one kid with a suitcase shaped like a coffin. he's fine. just dramatic. prefects pretending they're too cool for this. families crying. families not crying. someone's owl is always loose. someone's cat has trauma. everyone looks vaguely amish.
꒰ step four ꒱ the train. welcome to the hogwarts express. you'll be sitting on a train for about.....7 hours. with no radio. no wi-fi. everyone's too loud. someone's crying.
first-years get shuffled around a lot. no one wants to sit with the wailing ones.
upper-years claim their spots fast. if a seventh year tells you to move, move. unless you have an older brother who is scary and has hexed someone.
prefects sit together. mostly.
slytherins take over the last three compartments. don't barge in unless invited. seriously. gryffindors are loud and snack-heavy. sit with them if you want gossip. or a biscuit.
trolley etiquette , the trolley witch is unbothered. she takes no sides. but she's not stupid. don't try to rob her. pay exact change. don't haggle. and don't order everything unless you want to be known as "that kid who puked before scotland."
train politics , stuff happens on the train and it never leaves the train. alliances form. breakups occur. this is your soft launch. people will remember your entrance. so sit well. speak carefully. don't cast. and never admit to bringing contraband in your trunk. they search randomly. and mercilessly.
and part two is incoming. sometime. 😀

HII <3 i’m new to your account and saw in your introduction post that you started shifting as a kpop shifter , idk if you already talked about the groups that you shifted to but i’m curious haha !!
I love your account btw
Unfortunately I was the eighth member of bts in my dr. yep. Then I left the group and went solo and began dating one of the members. It was a lot lmao
We need to talk about how everyone in 2020 did not have any shame and we were all like not afraid to be the main character in our own little world and now everyone is scared to be cringe and ykw although it was really cringe, I was having fun

Please stop saying that you can't change race while shifting BECAUSE first of all you're not actually changing your race while shifting — in your desired reality, you were simply born that way from the start. Which means that "race changing" in shifting DOES NOT EXIST.
The multiverse theory assumes that there is an infinite number of realities, so you will 100% not be the same race as here in every other reality.
So please stop discussing this topic and to those who still don't understand it:
Learn first what limitless means cause if you still want to convince someone of something that is limited, you do not understand the main message of the skill of shifting
