Current fixation: Scorbus

[hogwartsthenextgeneration]

I just can’t stop thinking about how good friends the Potter kids are. Maybe they don’t talk much at school and I don’t think many of their friends or even their family know it but they’re definitely the type of siblings who used to set up a tent in the backyard and camp out their for days together.

In the holidays they designate whole days to playing board games together and doze off on James’s bed after inhaling three boxes of Bertie Botts and laughing for hours about teachers and cousins and quidditch. James will cook them pancakes in the morning and when Al is doing his laundry he’ll do it for the others as well (because Lily and James will definitely just let it all pile up until they can’t see the floor of their room) and the first time Lily has alcohol is when Harry and Ginny get invited to a work holiday party and James whips out the bottle of firewhisky from the highest shelf. 

Sure, they fight. Infamously. James shouts and shoves, Albus slams his door and doesn’t talk for the rest of the day, and Lily stands with her chin high and fists clenched as her mouth releases a steady stream of spiteful words.

But as much as they may hate it, they’re known by each other. Intricately interwoven by name and place. To the world, they will always the The Potter Kids and, most of the time, that’s alright.

because albus and scorpius' patronus' aren't confirmed, there are a bunch of different headcanons for what they may be, and they are all valid because it's up to interpretation.

BUT nothing can match the absolute hilariousness of albus and scorpius' patronus being a scorpion and asp, respectively.

like, imagine, okay. when scorpius manages to produce a corpeal patronus and it's an asp, let's be real, he's not going to recognize that it is an asp specifically because I highly doubt snake species were scorpius' taste for hyperfixations. so, he sees it's a snake is like "oh for slytherin, i guess" and goes about his day. then in his DADA class, there's this one student who knows a ton about snakes (watch it be a gryffindor, I love irony) is like "ummmmmmm that's an asp 🤓☝️" and everyone is giggling and oooooooing and it has not yet clicked for scorpius. he sees everyone making their eyebrows dance and is like, "you guys good 😭" and no one tells him shit. anyways he's going about his day with albus, and everything is dandy and full of homoerotic tension. that night, scorpius sees on one albus' papers, and he wrote his name as "ASP." when scorpius inquires him, albus is like "mate those are my initials, albus severus potter is a mouthful, " and only THEN does it click for scorpius and he's sitting there going "oooooooohhhhhh" in his brain.

meanwhile, for albus, when he sees that scorpion patronus, he clocks it immediately and goes in a full-on gay crisis. like it is bad, yall, it's so embarrassing. because he thinks his feelings are unrequited, resolves that scorpius can NOT know. anyways, he's in DADA and everyone is producing their partronus' and albus absolutely refuses to do it in class, so albus fakes sick and teacher, who's absolutely done, is like "fineeeeee leave." anyways, albus rocks up to the hospital wing, and she's like,"dude. nothing is wrong with you. go back to class." but albus is a menace when he's determined, so he sees the stairs and flings himself down them billy-loomis-style and breaks something for real. a few minutes later he's hobbling to the hospital wing, and despite the pain, he's smug as fuck. after treating albus, madame pomfrey starts drafting her resignation letter. (while all this is occurring, Scorpius produced his patonus in class).

anyways, a couple days later, albus is FORCED to at LEAST TRY to produce his patronus in front of the class. and after much cajoling and threatening, he does. and it's a scorpion. and after witnessing scorpius' asp patronus days ago, the class is going absolutely WILD. theres hollering and there's gasp of astonishment and everyone's teasing them, and basically it's what albus feared.

BUT scorpius has connected the dots with the asp patronus and the Scorpion patronus, so he produces his patronus in front of albus and albus sees that it's an asp!! anyways they have a musical montage where they confess and look at each other dreamily and kiss after class.

how do I be out here looking this fuckin' fly

Also on AO3

“But Daaaaad! It’s not fair. Why do I have to wear a dress and the boys can wear whatever they want?” Lily wined.

“I’m sorry Lily, but the Nostradamus Prize has a very strict dress code. Your mother has to wear a dress too,” Harry replied.

“Actually, I think Lily might have a point with this one,” Albus piped up. “Seems kind of sexist to me.”

“Yes! Thank you, Al.”

Al shrugged and stuffed a cookie in his mouth.

“It may be sexist, but this event is important to your mother. Not many sports journalists have received this honour. And while it may be a noble cause, I don’t think you can dismantle the patriarchy in a single day.” Harry paused. “And no, that wasn’t a challenge.”

Lily pouted and James entered the kitchen. He pulled up a chair next to his brother and grabbed a cookie of his own.

“What’s going on?” He asked.

“Lily doesn’t want to wear a dress to the Nostradamus ceremony,” Albus replied.

“So don’t,” James said to his sister.

Lily glared at him, “The archaic, patriarchal dress code demands it.”

“That’s stupid.”

“Yes James, thank you. We have covered all this,” Harry said with a sigh. “Stupid as it may be, those are the rules and that’s that.”

“Whatever. Fine. Just don’t expect me to wear heels.” And with that Lily stormed off.

Lily continued to complain about the “dress thing” up until the day of the event. James and Albus were slumped on the couch together dressed in their suits and ties. While in the next room, Lily pleaded her case one last time to both their parents.

“You know what?” James said. “She’s right.”

“I know.”

“It’s just a bunch of stupid gender stereotype bullshit.”

“You’ll get no argument from me.”

James suddenly sat up. Albus eyed him warily.

“Whatever you are thinking right now, don’t.”

A huge grin appeared on James’ face.

“James no,” Albus insisted.

“You don’t even know what it is.”

“I know it can’t be good.”

“Ye of little faith.” James stood and bounded up the stairs. Albus followed.

Instead of turning in the hall towards his and Albus’ rooms, James went straight to Lily’s room and opened up her closet.

“Um, James?” Albus questioned unsure exactly what was happening.

James began to flip through Lily’s clothes till he reached the ones in the back. He pulled out a few dresses with the tags still on them. Their mum had bought them for Lily over the years but they had gone mostly unworn.

He loosed his tie and began shrugging off his suit jacket. Albus raised an eyebrow but didn’t comment, curious to see how this would play out.

James changed into a simple spaghetti strap one first using a couple of size charms to get it to fit. It felt strange and oddly freeing.

“What do you think?” He asked Albus twirling around a few times.

“You actually don’t look half-bad,” Albus said surprised.

That threw James for a loop. He had expected his brother to make fun of him and call him an idiot but Albus actually sounded sincere.

“You can’t wear that to the red carpet though. It’s a formal event and that dress is way too casual.”

James screwed up his face. “It’s a dress. How can it be casual?”

Rolling his eyes Albus walked over to the other dresses James had pulled out of the closet. “You’re absolutely hopeless.” Albus pulled out two dresses from the pile and handed one to his brother. “Here, try this one.”

Moments later both brothers were admiring their reflections in the mirror. James had dawned a floor-length light blue gown. The skirt had several layers of ruffles edged in black detailing and a layer of toile underneath that gave it some volume. Albus had on a simpler black silhouette that was no less elegant. The arms and bodice were made from a sheer fabric and detailed with black lace.

“You know,” James said, “I was just doing this to be a good brother and shit. Also, I thought it would be pretty funny, but ahh… I look good. I mean, bro… What the fuck? Who the fuck is this?” James examined his reflection from several different angles. “I mean obviously you look good, that’s a given, but how do I be out here looking this fuckin’ fly?”

Albus smiled at his brother’s antics, for once James was actually right. They did look good. An idea struck him and Albus began looking around the room. Locating James’ suit jacket he picked it up off the floor. “Put this on.”

James gave Albus a sceptical look.

“Just trust me.”

“Alright.” James took the jacket and put it on over the dress. He looked back at the mirror. “Oh, what the fuck? Muuum!”

James swung the door open with fervour and headed to the foyer screaming the entire way down. “Do you see me right now? Wwwwwwwwhat the fuck! Look how good I look, what the fuck?”

Harry and Ginny turned to see both their sons looking rather ravishing in a pair of Lily’s dresses. Lily stopped herself mid-rant. Her initial look of confusion was quickly replaced with a bright smile.

“How come you two pull off those dresses way better than I ever could?” She asked, arms crossed over her chest.

“I don’t know what to tell you Lils, it turns out I’m fuckin adorable so… Are we going to this thing or not?” James stood with a hand on his hip.

“You can’t wear that to the Nostradamus,” Harry said.

“Why not?” James asked defiantly.

“The dress code only says that women have to wear dresses. It doesn’t say that men can’t.” Albus added.

James gave him a proud look.

Harry looked for a moment like he wanted to argue but he was just too tired. “Sure, why not. It’s fine with me. Ginny?”

“You boys look lovely.”

“Thanks, Mum,” Albus said bashfully.

The Potter children were undisputedly the best dressed of the night. It became quite the controversy, and everyone seemed to have an opinion. The next morning the Quibbler printed a special fashion spread for the story calling attention to the Nostradamus’ outdated dress codes and quoting a young James Potter, “Our society has many backwards and outdated traditions that have slowly begun to decline in popularity after the war, but gender roles still persist. This is just one glimpse of that. No one should be told what they can or cannot wear, especially when they’re out there looking this fuckin’ fly.”

I had this idea a few days ago and it would not leave me alone so here I am at two in the morning. This is not what I thought it was going to be at all but I like it all the same, much like James LOL. And once James was in a dress Albus insisted he get one too so… sorry not sorry. The idea came to me after I couldn’t get this TikTok out of my head and then, at the last minute, I thought about Kristen Stewart at the 2018 Canned Film Festival. Also the dresses were inspired by Harry Styles who is now my new fashion icon. I blame @beedragony for enabling me. B has informed I am not allowed to blame them because they blamed me first so I guess this one is all on me.
