I love this and I love the carrie aesthetic
✶ 𝑎 𝑠h𝑖f𝑡e𝑟'𝑠 𝑏u𝑟n b𝑜o𝑘. . .౨ৎ




saadgi?...the girl with more drs than she can remember? what about her?


where do i start? she is a seventeen year old who takes pride in being self aware but knows not the first thing about her self, ask her her favorite movie and watch her stutter. She is awkward and shy when you'll approach her but once you become a friend you'll be begging her to shut up, she is a mosaic of everyone she has ever loved, all of her being is formed by bits and bops she has stolen from others. Who is she if not an obsessive maniac? She claims she loves emotionally intelligent, wise, and pensive men....she does....but then she also falls for the most shallow guy ever and changes almost everything about him in her dr where she can date him. Psychotic if you ask me. She is great at explaining things she believes....huh. She also laughs weird. Very weird.


Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?
she wishes to love every life there is, peek into every corner and every crack in the tapestry of the multiverse. Experience every movie she has ever watched, stand on every mountain, drink from every river, dance on every meadow, fly through every cloud there is. What are her favorite drs? no one knows, maybe not even her great (sarcastic) self. But if i had to guess, i would say...
✶ Narnia dr
The confused indecisive shifter grew up reading the narnian books and imagining herself as the fifth monarch of narnia, she saw a reflection of herself in Edmund, perhaps it was his bratty side in the first book and her love for acts of rebellion and her crippling need to be different from others that drew her towards him. Whatever it was, it called her home. I heard her telling someone that she is a witch, a woodland witch even in this dr, and she marries edmund becoming the fifth queen of narnia...what? crazy.
✶ Hogwarts dr
pretty bold of her to be making a hogwarts dr after she said she did not feel any connection to the characters of the harry potter world...but perhaps it is the wizarding school experience that drew her in? or her beau? Edmund Salazar Slytherin, (thankyou kerry ml) the great great descendant to Salazar Slytherin who is NOT a bigot in her dr, himself.
✶Dead Poets Society dr
hmmm...i bet she fancies herself a dead poet. One who writes of love and pain and misery and shuns the sciences and practicalities of life. Maybe she imagines herself in the cave, a cigarette burning wistfully between her fingers as she recites her poetry and the poets applaud, charlie, her lover, however plays his saxophone as a sound of approval
✶Vampire dr
a vampire dr, huh, of course she has a vampire dr. Dare i say she had a thing for vampires even as a kid. She is a blood sucker, an annoyingly sad princess and an obsessed fool for her eternal dramatically loving husband, edmund the vampyr.

is that it about her? i suppose so. Maybe when she does something more iconic than making new drs everyday, she will get a longer post about herself, but for now? xoxo.

Pls this is so good venus
𝓢𝐇𝐈𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐍 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 💄

welcome ʚ to page 2(22) also known as venus's page or being graced by a literal angel
who is venus ? is she the girl behind this blog ? is she also the same girl who's behind @swaggiestgirlalive ? or is she two girls or maybe even a team of people who works on these accounts ?
we've heard that venus is actually just a sixteen year old drama queen who has too much time in her hands , time that she shouldn't have because she needs to study for the SATs and work on her college applications . how does she have this much time you ask ? well , probably perhaps because she's addicted to tumblr , as she is with many other things . great transition , right ? and where else do you find these smooth transitions ? youtube . and who do you find on youtube ? youtubers . and this brings us to venus's favorites and not so favorites .
venus venus venus . . . we got a hold of this brown eyed girl ( it wasn't very hard to anyways ) and asked her about some of her passionates and not so passionates .
" oh my god , okay , what are some of my favorites . . . by the way hi !! what is this ? a vlog you said ? well hey vlog !! so , i really like pasta and tiramisu . . . call me a big back but that's the first things that came to my mind , okay ? i also like the colors pink , brown , and like light yellow . oh my god , gold jewelry have my whole heart as a desi girl myselfff . i love my big shirt and shorts combination , i used to read a lot but now i just don't have the time to , but my favorite books are a good girl's guide to murder and better than the movies . i whole heartedly cherish old romcoms and wish that they were made the same . i love myself , like honestly ? my appearance to my literal name , i love . i love my birthday because one of my friends told me that my numerology is 6 and 2 and that means i'm really pretty , so i'll take that ! sorry random objects i love are mirrors , my airpods , and a good bowl . random , but i love bowls . oh and forks . my favorite ice cream is chocolate ice cream with brownie crumbs in it . i like to think i'm funny and i love making people laugh . i also love talking and talking to random people , like if one of my irl friends are too scared to ask someone a question i'll literally ask it for them . what else ? i love frank ocean and PARTYNEXTDOOR right now , and also tate mcrae . i used to do dance when i was younger and easing into doing it again . . . okay i've been told my time is almost over so ummm speedrun ! i like ice water , blankets , stuffed animals , puppies , summer , roadtrips , walking , and the sturniolo triplets but especially matt ! well , love him because - "
yes , we lied to her about it being a vlog , yes we regret it now because we didn't expect her to talk that much , yes we cut her off when she started talking about matt because she'll never shut up , and yes , this is not the end . let's dig deep into why she named her main blog the way she did , shall we ?
' withluv ' is a direct coordination to the phrase ' with love ' , two words usually used to end a letter written to someone of close friendship or relationship . ' venus ' is a planet and goddess that represents love , beauty , and harmony . a poetic gesture to herself and the ones who will scroll through her posts . her side blog ? swaggiestgirlalive , we don't know what to tell you . she likes to see that blog as her alter ego , but she doesn't even know what those two words mean clearly because her side blog is more her than her main blog will ever be . anyways , in true venus fashion :
𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘂𝘃 ✶ 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝘀
and you three are next ! @avaslosthermind , @velvetbeeez , @avelineshifts burn book guide

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. 😀
