Hogwarts Legacy [15/??]

[ominis]

Can we talk about how awesomely written Ominis's blindnesses is? The fact he uses his wand to guide himself around and isn't seen as stupid and is capable of taking care of his friends and himself.

Yes, I love it so much! It's not the focus of his character at all. It's just one part of him. It has little to do with his storyline, which I honestly adore because it's awesome to have a character with a disability whose motivations and interactions don't revolve around that disability. It's never hidden or disregarded, but it's never the center of who he is either. There's so, so, so much more to him than that. And it's not something that's tragic or ever portrayed as a negative thing. It doesn't hinder him. He can hold his own in a fight easily and he isn't treated differently by anyone. But it also isn't shown to be a strength either. It simply is what it is which I love. And I like that Ominis appears to be very neutral about it. It makes sense. He was born that way. He's never known anything different, so to him, it's just normal and he treats it as such.

I have a question! I'm looking for fanfiction where Hermione and Severus have to marry, this is after the war, and both work at Hogwarts. Their marriage isn't a secret and they both sort of have a sexless marriage until a redhead teacher joins the staff and starts flirting with Severus. Hermione winds up in the bedroom and overhears him defend their marriage to the other woman. Do you guys know that one, its AO3.

Honestly, I've been looking for this for weeks because this is right up my alley. But I'm struggling. I'm going to put it out there and see if any of our readers recognize it?

Edit: @qdrew in the comments identify this fic and we also got an anon ask doing the same. Thank you!!

I don't think it's limited to certain houses only. Sylvia in the screenshot is Ravenclaw while Mildred here is Hufflepuff.

Ok. First of all, I am obsessed with Lionheart. You are amazing and I could sing your praises for hours. However, I have a question regarding Wolfstar. Your fic was actually the first time I came across that ship. (I know now it's really popular). However, I would love to hear more about your thoughts on Remus and Sirius. Whether it's canon or your interpretation of them. I always found Tonks and Remus to be a strange couple in the HP books. Was that your impression as well? How do you think a romantic relationship between the two characters changes them, if it does at all? Thanks!

Totally! Thanks for the ask!

I think Remus and Tonks getting together suffers from the same thing that a lot of canon relationships do, i.e., that JKR doesn't really know how to write romantic chemistry. There are very few times in the books where it feels like there's genuine sexual or romantic tension happening on the page. So that's layer 1.

Layer two is that Remus and Tonks aren't themselves on the page for most of Books 5-7, so their "love story," as such, is 90% exposition. The only scenes we get of them as a couple are Tonks scolding Remus for not dating her and Remus guiltily shooting her down. It also seems out of character for Remus, who is defined in many ways by his attachment to the past and who has been living out of Sirius's pockets for two years, to show little or no apparent grief at the death of his best friend of twenty years, not to mention one of the last people alive who loved James Potter. Harry grieves Sirius more than Lupin seems to, and Harry knew Sirius for about five minutes compared to Lupin. That's not to say that grief always looks the same — it's different, and I'm sure Lupin compartmentalized it for the war effort — but it should, in theory, stop you from jumping into a high-intensity relationship with your dead best friend's niece. (If you look at the timeline on Tonks and Lupin's relationship vis-a-vis Sirius's death, it is absolutely wild.)

The Wolfstar in Lionheart is subtle, but as overt as I thought was realistic for two men who hadn't seen each other in years and are also, by necessity, only seen by the reader in the presence of their thirteen-year-old godson. I wanted to capture the energy of "closeted on-again off-again lovers in the 70s and 80s before having a VERY messy breakup" (which, believe it or not, is a broader demographic than you'd think), both because I think it's a fun way to write them (the vibes! the possessiveness! the old-married-couple meets shy-first-relationship of it all!) and because it explains why Lupin is totally alone before Prisoner of Azkaban — in particular, why he never made an effort to contact Harry. It's hard enough to be a closeted man in Britain in the 1980s; throw in a case of lycanthropy and an insane amount of personal trauma, and what you've got on your hands is the kind of guy who'd go totally radio silent on everyone he knows for 13 straight years.

Midnight Bath by @extremewritersblock

Hermione had dreamt of him again. Cloaked in black, she ran through the dark halls, seeking the solitude and warm water of the Prefects’ Bath, but when she entered, she suspected she was not there alone. The hard, male body that came up behind her confirmed it. Draco had clearly been expecting someone else to join him tonight. But when he kissed her, she couldn't bring herself to tell him to stop.

The Map

For almost ten years (September 1903 - April 1913), Phineas and Marie traveled the continents of Africa, Europe, and Asia, together before settling down following their marriage. Exploring many magical landmarks and locations across the world and investigating their connections to ancient magic.

The travel they use depends on where they are and the local methods of transportation. However, they also use Apparation, Floo Powder, and Port Keys to get around to each country.

Please note that this map has modern borders that are NOT accurate to the borders existing during the time Phineas and Marie would have traveled. This also goes for the following list as it will be corresponding to the map. However, historically accurate names will be used if necessary in more specific posts detailing each location.

Title: What's Right in Front of You

Author: orpheous87

Rating: Teen

Length: 7794

Summary: When a spell cast in the eighth-year common room goes wrong, Harry's life is thrown into chaos. He wasn't ready to come out yet, but it turns out he didn't need to worry. His friends are very keen to show him that he has their support, but it gets a bit much. Seeking solace in solitude, Harry is reminded that he's not the only one affected by the revelation. As he and Draco spend more time together, they come to realise that maybe the spell wasn't as rubbish as they first thought.
