#(weasley cousins include potter siblings!)

[luminousfumbling]

I just spent 3 1/2 hours making a Black family tree and so I’m going to share some of my findings. (No clue if all of this is 100% correct, I tried to double check everything as best I could but I’m very sleep deprived)

Sirius and Regulus have the same aunt (Druella Black (neé Rosier) as Evan Rosier. Making Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa Evan’s cousins on their mother’s side (Regulus and Sirius being the sisters’ cousins on their father’s side).

One of Sirius and Regulus’ great-grandfather’s brother’s daughters (Callidora) married into the Longbottom family.

Another one of their great-grandfather’s brother’s daughters (Cedrella) married into the Weasley family (and was disowned for it).

And their great-grandfather’s brother’s third daughter (Charis) married into the Crouch family.

Sirius and Regulus’ grandfather’s sister (Dorea) married (Charlus) into the Potter family (I couldn’t find how close they are to James Potter but its been theorized that Charlus could be James’ distant cousin or uncle).

Sirius and Regulus’ uncle (by marriage) was also Molly (neé Weasley) Fabian, and Gideon Prewett’s uncle.

Elladora Black (never married or had children) was the one who would behead house elves when they got too old. She was the sister of Phineas Nigellus Black (the first) who was the oldest descendent of the black family tree that I could find and the whole Black family can be traced back to him and his wife, Ursula. (He had three other siblings and two were never married and the other, Iola, married a muggle, Bob Hitchens) (They might have had two kids but I can’t be certain and I don’t know what their names are or if they were magical.) Phineas Nigellus Black was also both Walburga and Orion’s great-grandfather.

There were also women with the last names Bulstrode, Macmillan, Yaxley, Crabbe, Rosier, Gamp, and Flint that married into the family (and Greengrass if you want to include Draco’s wife, though he was a Malfoy since his mother lost her maiden name when she married). The Men who married into the family (or really that the women married out of the family to) were Hitchens, Burke, Crouch, Longbottom, Weasley, Prewett, Malfoy, Tonks, and Lestrange.

Is a metamorphmagus like Tonks

She prefers to dye her own hair and taught the Potter kids along with some of their cousins how to do it without magic

Is thinking of becoming a hairdresser when she graduates.

[luxshine]

Ok. So... I've been sick and under a lot of Antibiotics. Like, seriously a lot.

The good ones too, as omg, the dreams. I will probably share them all with you at some point (Especially Law and Order: Random Kitten Edition) but there's one, that I actually took notes when I woke up from, that was so weird that I just have to share it with you guys.

Because my FEVERISH AND DRUG ADDLED Brain gave me "Harry Potter: The UNFUCKED edition" where I *think* most if not all of the really ugly parts got fixed.

To begin with a bang, Harry is not white. He is of hindi descent, from his Mom's side so Petunia and his cousin are also not white. Vernon is white, but when it comes to cultural stuff, he bows to Petunia. So his family celebrates Diwali, Makar Sankrati, Maha Shivarati, Holi... the works. There's also a lot, and I mean a LOT of cow decorations around the house.

He is also not bullied or mistreated by the Dursleys. They are VERY strict at the beginning, yes, especially Vernon who spends most of Harry's early childhood trying to keep him "normal" because he keeps saying that the nail that stands out, gets the hammer. But there's no treating Harry like a slave, he and Duddu, which was Dudley's name here (and latter google told me it was an hindu name meaning Love of sun which... wow feverish brain, WHERE did you get that trivia fact?) have a more sibling-like relationship. Harry FEELS like his life is boring and wishes something happened to him, and REALLY wishes Vernon didn't just knocked out anything that sounded like fun or different, but he is not abused.

Hermione is black, and of course, this puts her fight for the House Elves in a completely different light (AND this time, it sticks and it's not treated like a silly little thing)

Ron and the Weasleys are the same, only that because the Dursleys are not abusive, they actually become somewhat friendly at first, until Vernon loses his patience at how Arthur treats non wizards as clever little monkeys and puts him in his place. After that, they actually become friends.

The BIG change at first? Draco is not sorted in Slytherin, but in Ravenclaw, which immediately makes him a pariah to all Slytherins (aka. all his childhood friends) AND makes Lucious literally disown him via howler. Long story short, this ends up with the trio befriending him too, and becomes an arc about nurture vs. nature, this is, children are NOT evil, but they are taught to be evil and if you put all the death eater children in the exact same house? Well, it's an echo chamber and they all will grow up to be death eaters! Draco breaks free thanks to the hat sending him away. He also is the first one to help Hermione with the elves, by pointing out that sure, everyone will tell her that the elves like being slaves because the elves says so... BECAUSE they know that they will be punished if they say otherwise. So they try a different route to help free the elves which include all the non wizard born students revolting and going to help to the kitchen to wash dishes and so, as they do in their homes. At some point Dumbledore went to scold Hermione for forcing her classmates to do that, to which Hermione replied, in the kitchen, full of house elves "Ok, show of hands. Who is FORCED to be here?" and of course no one, not the house elves, nor the children, raised their hands. I liked that scene, especially as they laughed their hearts out once Dumbledore was gone.

Oh, Dobby ended up hired by Vernon to be Duddu's bodyguard instead of going back to Hogwarts. He and Petunia got along amazingly in the kitchen.

Gremlins were not jewish caricatures (no hooked noses and big ears, more like sweddish gnomes) and they are not betrayed by Harry -who, half hindu, understands the whole "uk took our treasures and called them theirs".

I remember Sirius didn't die, and that there were more werewolves so it avoided the HIV parallel with a pedophile evil, but unfortunately, I don't remember the exact details of that.

But what I DO remember is that, because of the little changes of the foursome being more kind to everyone, trying to understand others and understanding that the problem was not just voldemort but the system that created him? The battle at Hogwarts included ALL the mystical creatures from the get go. The elves went willingly to defend THEIR children (The ones who didn't treat them as slaves), the goblins were there too because hey, Voldemort was a treat to everyone. Centaurs, giants, and so on. The only ones that didn't join the fight? Slytherin because uhm... they were on the other side.

Most importantly? The Non wizard parents joined in too. (No "Oh, I will send my bewtiched parents to Australia" here). With guns, and knives, and you do NOT want to be between a hooligan and their children, becuase they will HURT you more than crucio. And the one who killed Voldie? VERNON DURSLEY with a Hunting Rifle.

Because you may have all the magic in the world, but that ain't shit against a lead bullet to the brain. (And this non evil Vernon was NOT going to let his nephew be treated like a goat for sacrifice as Dumbledore wanted)

In the epilogue that is just 2 years later, not ten, yes, McGonagall is headmistress but we get actual change. Slytherin as a house is dismantled, and a new fourth house is created. Slughorn the humble. Why Slughhorn? because he was the one who realized he was wrong, he changed his ways, and he became a better person. And that takes humility, and that is important. Harry wants to become either a healer or a teacher, all the house elves in Hogwarts are free and now work with a salary, vacation days, and the works. The goblins are no longer treated as second class citizens as Arthur Weasley, new minister of magic, changes those laws, to allow them to have wands, and have whichever work they want, not just banking, and there are at least four goblins working now in the minister, same as house elves. Because they need to have their voices heard.

And that was about when I woke up, and how the hell did my fever addled brain came up with so much, when miss Terf couldn't be bothered to even explain why "we don't tell muggles about magic because then they would want to do everything with magic" is a logical sentence in a world where we NEVER see a wizard NOT do something incredibly simple without using magic?

My Next Gen Texting Fic Crack part 1

Year Seven- Teddy Lupin (Huffelpuff) Victorie Weasley (Ravenclaw)

Year Five- Dominique Weasley (Gryphindor)

Year Four - Louis Weasley (Attends Beaubaxtons but still included)

Year Three- Jamie Potter (Gryphindor) Freddie Weasley-Johnson (Gryphindor)

Year Two- Roxanne Weasley-Johnson (Gryphindor)

Year One- Albus Potter (Slytherin) Rose Granger-Weasley (Gryphindor) Scorpius Malfoy (Slytherin)

Not Sorted Yet: Hugo Granger-Weasley, Molly Weasley-Wood, Lucy Weasley-Wood, Lily Luna Potter, Daisy Dursley

Note; this is not cursed child compliant at all (no shocker) and follows my own slight interpretation of post cannon, the ages are flipped around, Teddy and Jamie are only four years apart so he can be a part of the story, Hugo is one year younger then Rose while Molly, Lucy, Lily and Daisy are four years younger then Albus

Warning right now: this author is a Percy Weasley apologist, these contain a plot line where Percy was disowned from his family after a row after the battle of hogwarts and Fred’s ensuing death, his twin daughters carry the last name but he does not, none of his family has seen him in years, or his daughters. The -Wood part is self-explanatory. Nothing about this follows cannon but fuck cannon. More about this will learn as the story unfolds

These will be random and in no way cohesive or planned, just ignore the continuity errors- i will however try to explore more of a character if requested. These practice ‘writings’ are to explore the next gen because Jesus Christ these kids need a bit of a fixer uppper

Weasley Wednesdays

Hello! It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for another Weasley Wednesdays! For this week, due to my lack of writing ability and my love for this fic and the Weasley cousins, I’m here to do a shameful self-promo. 

This here is a snippet from Chapter 3 of my fanfiction: Room On The Third Floor, which is a scene with all the Weasley cousins who show up in support of Scorpius (and Albus) and remind Albus what family is all about. Enjoy :) It’s long, so I do apologise for that!

##

“Guys? Everything all right?” Lily’s voice sounded from the other side of the door. They jumped apart and shared an exasperated look before Scorpius unlocked the door and opened it with his wand. The moment had disappeared, and Albus couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

His overbearing family and Jenny piled into the classroom. It seemed more of Albus’ cousins had showed up. Domi, Louis, Freddie, Hugo and little Lucy had popped up from somewhere. It seemed only Roxanne and Rose were missing and- nope, there they were. Albus didn’t realise he’d signed up for a family meeting.

“Fine,” Scorpius spoke, but his voice was strained.

“That was rough, Scorp,” James said, walking over and placing a hand on Scorpius’ shoulder. He had clearly witnessed it.

“Yeah, Fletcher is a douche,” Molly chipped in helpfully, jumping onto a desk.

“What happened?” Hugo asked.

“Fletcher Adams refused to make Scorpius Slytherin seeker purely because of who he is, which is not only extremely discriminating but also just plain mean. Scorpius, I’ve literally known you for five days, but you’re the nicest person I’ve ever met and deserve to be treated better than that,” Jenny said, making her way through the mass of Weasley-Potters to stand next to Scorpius. She pulled him in for a hug, and Albus saw him tense slightly before he settled into it.

“Thanks, Jen,” he smiled, though Albus could tell it was forced.

“So, what’re we going to do?” Louis asked, a grin on his face that mirrored Freddie’s.

“Yeah, are we going to get him back?” Freddie asked, and Albus could swear that if you looked close enough, you could see the ideas swirling through his brain.

“No,” Scorpius cut them off and they both deflated. “You guys are amazing, but I’m not going to do anything to him.”

“Why not?” Lily asked. She had a bone for pranks too.

“Because it’s not me. Look, I wanted to join Quidditch because I wanted people to look at me and see Scorpius. Not a Death-Eater’s son or the boy who fucked up the world by trying to change time,” at that, Albus reached out and squeezed his hand. “Obviously, even Quidditch can’t do that for me. So, I’m going to do something different. I’m going to find a different way, my way, to show people I’m not a monster. To show them that I’m only a Malfoy by name but not by personality.”

The fire in his eyes had returned, but this time it wasn’t anger. No, it was determination. Albus had no idea what he was cooking up in that brain of his, but if he knew Scorpius, then it would be brilliant.

“So, then what are you going to do?” Hugo asked, and the Weasley-Potters looked among themselves when Scorpius shrugged. Albus watched as his mind faded away, letting him get lost in his thoughts for a moment.

He looked to his family, who were all looking at him with such intensity it was heart-warming. It had only just occurred to him that they hadn’t come here because it was Albus that was being discriminated against, but because it was Scorpius. That day Scorpius came over the summer, he was welcomed into the family with open arms. Albus smiled knowing his family were still looking out for him. They were willing to risk detention because of some prick who somehow made Quidditch captain. They were treating him like one of their own without Albus asking them to.

He looked among them. To James, Freddie and Louis who looked ready for a fight if that what Scorpius asked for. To Domi, Molly and Lucy who were ready with their arms open if Scorpius requested a hug. To Rose and Roxy, who had a fire in their eyes not unlike Lilys, ready to hex if needed. To Hugo, who looked at Scorpius with a proud smile, and he knew he would be proud no matter what came out of Scorpius’ mouth next.

Albus felt a swell of love for his family in his heart and thanked every star he could imagine for their existence. Twenty years ago, the Weasley’s would never have dreamed of being in the same room as a Malfoy and ready to defend his honour. As a family, they had overlooked the prejudices’ of the past that even their parents suffered through, and openly accepted Scorpius. If the Weasley-Potters could achieve that in one day over summer break, then why couldn’t the rest of the world get on board just as easily?

Scorpius snapped from his reverie and gave Albus a proud smile.

“So…?” Rose prompted, clearly noting Scorpius’ breakthrough.

“I’m going to change the world, one lonely nerd at a time,” he spoke proudly, a grin of pure elation on his lips. No one had any idea what it meant, but for the second time that day, Scorpius was out the room in a rush of black and green robes.

Hide and Seek

Day 6, Story #1 is by @adenei

Title: Hide and Seek

Author: adenei

Pairing: Teddy Lupin/Victoire Weasley

Prompt: Babysitting

Rating: PG

TW: Mild Language

**********

“Don’t let them stay up too late,” Ginny reminds him as she opens the front door.

“And send us a Patronus if anything goes wrong. We’ll be here in an instant,” Hermione adds fretfully.

“Oi, ‘Mione, really? They’re not babies anymore!”

“Let’s go, or we’re going to miss our Portkey.”

Teddy laughs at the interaction. Of all the adults, it’s Harry who’s pressing them about tardiness. The foursome are headed on a weekend getaway, staying at the Delacours’ beachside cottage for three nights. James was shipped off to George and Angelina’s, while Rose opted to go to Percy and Audrey’s, so Teddy’s charges only include Albus, Hugo, and Lily.

“Everything’s going to be fine. I’ve got this! And if I don’t, I can think of at least five other Weasleys to call. Maybe even a Malfoy if I’m desperate.”

“That’s not funny, Lupin,” Ron warns as Ginny swats him upside the head.

“But if Scorpius does ask for Albus to go over for an afternoon, it’s fine!”

“Noted. Go enjoy your weekend!” 

Teddy half shoves them out the door this time as he shuts and locks it behind them. The kids are out back playing in the garden, so Teddy goes out to join them. He’s chuffed that Harry and Ginny trust him enough to watch Al and Lily for the weekend. Plus, Ron and Hermione added Hugo to the mix. Normally, they’d be shipped off to the Burrow to stay with Molly and Arthur, but since it’s only a long weekend, and the kids are ten and twelve now, Teddy Lupin, a recent Hogwarts graduate, has been bestowed the responsibility. 

He’s always been the mature older ‘sibling’—well, he counts himself as a sibling or cousin to all the Weasleys, but he’s not blood-related. Harry and Ginny half raised him, though, so he’s just as much a part of the family as any of the kids. Heck, maybe someday he’d officially be part of the family. 

No, it’s too early to be having those thoughts.

But there’s one person who makes him happier than anything to know he’s not related to the Weasleys by blood. Victoire, his best friend and girlfriend. As Teddy sits back and gets comfortable on a patio chair, he lets his mind wander to spring afternoons spent by the lake as he observes the kids playing on the muggle swingset Harry insisted on putting together years ago.

“Who knew a giant Muggle toy would get so much use?”

Teddy jumps at the sound of a voice he’s not expecting.

“Vic! What are you doing here? I mean, not that I’m complaining, but…”

She laughs as Teddy backtracks. The sound is music to his ears, soft and lyrical, and something he’ll never tire of. Making her laugh is something he’s striven to do ever since they were young. When she fell off her toy broom, he made his hair change colors at a rapid pace in an attempt to make her giggle, and then there was the time she broke up with her first boyfriend during her fourth year, when he’d used the Jelly Legs Jinx on the bloke’s legs while he walked over a patch of ice. Victoire’s laugh has always been the fuel that set his heart on fire.

“Well, you said you had to babysit this weekend, and I thought I might come over and help entertain my cousins,” she explains as she pulls up a chair next to him.

“Yeah, but the adults have only just left! You don’t think I can keep the kids alive on my own for more than an hour?”

“Of course, I do!” She slides her hand in his while waiting for a beat, “especially since James isn’t here.”

“Oh, I see how it is! James isn’t that bad.”

“No, he’s not. He just likes mischief. It’s a common Weasley trait.”

“And a Potter one, too, if I’m not mistaken. Harry and Ginny never stood a chance, especially after naming him after Harry’s dad and godfather.”

“True. When I have kids, they won’t be named after anyone. They deserve to have their own unique names.”

Teddy offers a sad smile at Victoire’s words. He’s named after his dad and granddad and doesn’t mind all that much, but he sees where Victoire is coming from, what with being named after a bloody war for Merlin’s sake.

“Maybe you shouldn’t have insisted on entering this world on the second of May, then. I mean, come on, Vic, of all the days!”

“Oh, sod off, Lupin,” she feigns seriousness while her eyes shine with mirth.

“I do agree with you, though. There’s enough people in this family who’re named after somebody else. I don’t mind it, but I do like the concept of original names. Though, I do think we’re a ways off from baby name talk, don’t you?”

He can’t help but lighten the mood. Teddy’s sure she means nothing by the comment and is just thinking out loud, but something still possesses him to weave it into their future. Perhaps it’s to gauge her thoughts in a casual manner?

“Probably, but it’s fun to talk about, isn’t it? I mean, it’s not like we’re actually picking names or anything.”

“Or determining how many kids we’re going to have…”

“Which would absolutely be—”

“Two!” they both say at the same time.

It’s really more of an inside joke, with Teddy witnessing firsthand the chaos that is the Potter household with three kids, and Victoire being the oldest of three. And yet, there’s some truth laced into their lighthearted conversation.

“See?” Victoire says as she leans in close, “This is why we’re good together.”

She plants a kiss on his cheek at the exact wrong moment because that’s when Hugo shouts,

“Victoire! Look, guys! Vic’s here!”

“Oops,” she whispers bashfully in his ears.

So far, they’ve managed to keep their relationship a secret from the family, but it looks like that’s about to end sooner rather than later. Of course, Harry and Ginny know, and Vic told Bill and Fleur when she came home at the end of term, but the cousins were still blissfully unaware… until now.

The three kids run over to Vic and Teddy, and Lily eyes them with curiosity. “Teddy, why did Vic just kiss you on the cheek?”

There are a multitude of different answers Teddy could choose from. ‘No reason’, ‘don’t worry about it’, ‘it’s nothing’, but instead he opts for, “Why do you think, Lils?”

Her eyes grow wider than her small face allows, and a wide O forms on her lips. “Are you two… together?” she whispers.

Teddy and Vic share a look. They both know the secret’s out now.

“Yeah, Lils, we are,” Teddy admits as he holds up the hand that’s still intertwined with Vic’s.

If there weren’t wards in place, Teddy’s sure that Lily’s shriek of delight could have been heard for miles. Albus and Hugo, on the other hand, seemed disinterested in the whole ordeal.

“Can we play hide and seek or something?” Albus asked once Lily was done reacting to the news.

Point in case.

“Wait, who else knows?” Hugo interrupts Albus’s question and bringing the focus back on Teddy and Vic.

“Of all the cousins? Only you three,” Vic answers.

“Only us?” Lily gasps.

“Not even James?” Albus eyes Teddy curiously.

“Not even James,” Teddy confirms. “Tell you what, we can go play hide and seek now, but what about an even better game?”

All three look on expectantly, waiting for Teddy’s proposition.

“What if we play, ‘let’s see how long it takes James to figure out Vic and I are dating’? We can all place bets, and I’ll take whoever guesses the closest date out for ice cream.”

Vic flashes him a knowing smile as the kids contemplate his offer.

“I’m in,” Lily says without thinking it through.

“Me too,” Hugo agrees.

“But that means we’ll have to keep it a secret,” Albus realizes.

He’s much more intuitive at eleven than Teddy ever dreamed of being.

“Yeah. Everyone else has to find out on their own, which means you can’t tell anyone.”

Lily and Hugo both nod in agreement, and after a bit more pondering, Albus agrees.

“Okay, but can we pick dates later? I want to play!”

Ted and Vic both laugh as Teddy offers to count to twenty. He closes his eyes and makes a big show of counting while Vic remains at his side.

“Nice one.”

“Thanks,” he responds in between shouting numbers. “I figure James is thick enough that we’ll get at least a couple more weeks out of him. He is Harry’s son, after all...”

Not only did they get a couple of weeks out of the deal, but the rest of the summer. It wasn’t until September first when James caught them snogging behind a pillar on Platform Nine and Three-Quarters and ran to announce it to the world that the couple knew the jig was up. 

“Looks like I owe Al a trip to Fortescue’s next time I see him.”

The Pride of Burrough House (a Regency-era Muggle AU)

Now that I'm back on this cursed time-suck of an app, maybe I should actually post about my fics. After a long time researching, planning, and plotting, here is my newest WIP, with updates every Sunday.

Title & AO3 link: The Pride of Burrough House

Rating: M

Content warnings: Major character death, eventual (infrequent, fairly mild) smut, a couple of scenes involving non-consent or domestic violence (brief, and not graphic)

What you can expect:

Romance, humor, drama, banter, occasionally farcical situations, dancing, hand touches, duelling, constraining social conventions, and ladies behaving badly. More sexual and a little darker than Austen or Heyer but still plenty of fun. Gay, lesbian, bi, aro, and ace-spectrum characters.

We follow the lives and loves of each of the 7 Weasley children, with major emphasis on Percy/Audrey, Ron/Hermione, George/Angelina, and Ginny/Harry.

Happy endings for everyone, because that's how I roll (except Cousin Barny). Endgame canon ships with some detours along the way. You're gonna suffer, but you're gonna be happy about it.

Picspam by me, official fic summary below

Major William Weasley is about to bring home the future mistress of Burrough House.

Captain Charles Weasley’s only love is the sea (but Lady Greengrass doesn’t have love on her mind anyway).

Mr Percy Weasley is afflicted with one too many Penelopes.

Lieutenant Frederick Weasley chooses the wrong time to fall in love with Miss Angelina Johnson.

Mr George Weasley is definitely just friends with Miss Johnson anyway.

Mr Ronald Weasley has just come of age, jilted and occupationless — the perfect time to escape to London with his dear friend Harry, the future Earl of Buckston (and he most certainly does not care that Miss Hermione Granger is also here).

And Miss Ginevra Weasley refuses to be sold as chattel to any man, no matter his rank.

Someone once said that "Younger sons cannot marry where they like" -- but they never met this stubborn family.

Supporting characters & tropes below the break:

Supporting/secondary characters: Sirius Black, Penelope Clearwater, Dudley Dursley, Daphne Greengrass, Lee Jordan, Luna Lovegood, Draco Malfoy, Lily Potter, James Potter, Bilius Weasley, OC's

Tropes/dynamics include: friends to lovers, friends with benefits, shy awkward love, second chance romance, rejected proposals, established relationship, concealed identity, sibling rivalry, brotherly love, sisterly love

no matter how hard you tried to prove to everyone in the gryffindor house that you were not like your cousin they still didn’t except you.

you had absolutely no friends in any house except for your other cousin luna, but you didn’t get to see her very often since she was in another house.

draco practically obliviated himself when the sorting hat announced you would be in gryffindor, he still hasn’t talked to you since first year and you don’t expect that to change anytime soon.

harry had determined that you were no good after having a handful of encounters with draco (none of which were pleasant), and since he was harry potter everyone decided to agree with him without giving it a second thought.

you were alone 99% of the time, you dreaded coming to classes since every lesson you would need a partner and since no one wanted to be yours, you were stuck with neville. not that there was anything wrong with him he just was so scared of you that you ended up doing the entire project yourself.

“you will be making a pepperup potion today, since i have a headache from the last class pay attention because i will not be explaining this again.” snape groaned, once he was done explaining he told everyone to pair up for the lesson. you watch as everyone paired up around you, even neville found a partner, so that meant you were stuck with…your eyes scanned the room till they landed on a pair of brown eyes that were already staring at you, george weasley.

or maybe it was fred, it was quite hard to tell the difference when they both refuse to talk to you.

he walked over to your table and sat next to you, there was a few beats of silence before you cleared your throat. “i can go get the ingredients then brew the potion and then we can both get the credit, so you don’t have to do anything.” you explained getting up from the stool you were sitting on.

“what makes you think i don’t want to work with you?” he asked, “well i’m usually paired with neville and he never really speaks to me since he thinks i’m evil so i thought you would be the same way?” he laughed at you, “maybe neville didn’t want to talk to you because you made him nervous, he’s not the best at talking to beautiful girls.” you rolled your eyes, “you’re pathetic, weasley.”

you walked away and gathered all the ingredients, once you came back you laid everything out on the table and started weighing the ingredients while your partner watched you. “it’s quite rude to stare.” his gaze was unaffected by your statement, “why didn’t you partner up with your brother?” you asked. “i am banned from working with any of my siblings in snape’s class unfortunately, not that fred would work with me anyway.” he motioned to the table across the room where fred sat with angelina, where they clearly were not working on the potion, instead fred was trying to make angelina laugh.

despite not talking to george before it felt as if you’d known him since first year, he actually made time in your least favorite class plesent. before you knew it the class was over and he had already said his goodbyes, you were saddened by the fact he had left in such a hurry since you were having such a great time with him. as you packed up your belongings you noticed a peice of paper sticking out of your book, you pulled it out a read the semi messy handwriting.

meet me at the astronomy tower after curfew - your favorite potions partner :)

-

you weren’t very sneaky so you silently thanked the founders of hogwarts for having stone flooring instead of wooden creaky ones while walking to the astronomy tower, you had to dodge a few prefects but you were finally there.

the door was open a few inches so you could see george sitting on the floor staring at the stars, you tried to open the door silently but it made a loud creak which caused george to whip his head around and look at you.

“sorry.” you whispered since you were still technically in the hallway, george chuckled at you and motioned for you to come in. “sit next to me.” he smiled.

you shut the door, walked over to him and sat down. “y’know i actually had to consult angelina on what to take on a date, you should’ve seen fred’s face he thought i was trying to steal his girlfriend.”

“oh so this is a date?” you raised your eyebrows and looked at him, “well um kinda, i forgot to include that in the note, sorry for misleading you, you could leave if you want i-“

“george it’s fine, i’m just happy i finally have someone to talk to.”

you stayed up till midnight talking to george, you told him about your family and he told you about his, his family sounded amazing and caring unlike yours. when george realized it was midnight he convinced you to let him walk you back to your dorm.

once you both were there you said your goodbyes, you hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. “thank you for the amazing night george.”

when you shut your door you left it open a inch to see george walk away but instead you saw him doing a little dance and whisper scream “she kissed me!”

you laughed then fully shut your door, “merlin, i’m in love with a weasley.”

it’s all so simple (one shot)

a short fic about Charlie and Albus bonding.

~~~~~~

I don't want to get married. I don't want to have children. I'm happy the way I am. And if you love me, you'll be happy for me too.

Charlie had recited that mantra for as long as he could remember. He told himself in the mirror before he was ready to tell his family. He told his favorite dragon Topaz as he was petting her scaly muzzle.

“There isn’t anything wrong with me!” He bellowed into a puddle, staring at his reflection stubbornly. 

Topaz nudged him, tired of him venting to himself. He would laugh, run a hand through his messy red hair, and continue reminding himself that what he was feeling was normal. Wasn’t he?

His mum had persisted the most. Asking him every time he visited when was he ever going to find a nice young woman to settle down with. Eventually, he had told her firmly that the answer was never. He had fancied men for as long as he could remember. She, and the rest of the family had been accepting. He hadn't expected any less. But then the questions changed. When was he going to find a nice young man to marry and perhaps adopt children with.

At one point, he thought he had found someone. Alexander. A fellow dragon keeper. But he wanted things that Charlie couldn't give him. So it ended like that. Amicably, of course. No pressure involved, thank Merlin. But it still stung, like a burn from a dragon's breath. Except with less blood. And he recovered a lot faster and didn't need to cover it with a tattoo.

When he was a younger man, he had doubts about himself. When all of his siblings married and started to have kids of their own, the anxiety of being the odd one out definitely took a toll on him. Was there something wrong with him?

But as the years passed, those feelings subsided. He was happy where he was with his career. He loved his family. He loved his nieces and nephews and being the 'cool uncle' showing off his newest burns and scars-- usually overdramatizing the tale. And as time went on, finally his family stopped asking. That made his visits less stressful. He didn’t have to worry about them pestering him. 

The summer visits to the Burrow were always a rare treat. Sometimes he couldn't come for various work reasons. But when he did, he was always excited. One particular afternoon, all of the kids decided to play a game of Quidditch in the garden. The adults were responsible for making sure none of them were injured and taking care of the little ones. Charlie relaxed from the back, enjoying the sunshine and counting each child to make sure they were included. Lily, Vic, Hugo, Dom, and Roxanne were one team, while James, Rose, Freddie, Louis, Molly Jr and Teddy were another.

"Hey!" Hugo shouted. "They have one more teammate!" He pointed at James' team.

Charlie frowned. He thought there were enough kids for sure. Yes, Lucy was only four and couldn't play but Albus...

"Come on, Al, you're on the blue team." James groaned, already frustrated from the heat and his little brother.

"I don't want to be on the blue team!' Albus said stubbornly. "I don't wanna be on any team. I hate Quidditch."

Several of the other children looked outraged. No Weasley hated Quidditch. It was in their blood.

"Don't be silly, Albus." Victoire said, looking at the younger boy kindly. "You don't mean that. Come on, we can be Beaters together." She offered him the bat, which he scowled and huffed away from.

"No, I don't want to." Albus shook his head furiously.

"He only hates it because he's bad at it." James mumbled under his breath.

"James!" Ginny snapped.

Albus, filled with rage, tossed the bat aside as he stormed away. It snapped in half from the impact. Lily and Hugo gasped in horror.

"Albus Severus, you're too old to be breaking things!" Harry rubbed his nose tiredly. "Come back here this instant!"

"I'll get him," Charlie offered, nodding at Ginny. "Don't worry Gin."

"Thanks Char." Ginny murmured.

Luckily it wasn't too hard to find a ten year old who seemed to think hiding behind a row of bushes and gnomes was a good hiding place. His heart dropped when he heard tiny sobs from behind the bush.

"Hey bud," Charlie awkwardly brushed aside the prickly bushes and sat beside the boy, who's eyes were puffy and red. He made sure his voice was quiet, approachable. Last thing he wanted was to be as stoic and apathetic as Percy.

"Go away. I don't want to play Quidditch." Albus said shakily. He turned to face Charlie, eyes shining with tears. He seemed to hesitate when he saw his favorite uncle.

"You don't have to, that's not why I'm here." Charlie assured him. "Just wanted to have a chat. Everything okay?"

Albus sniffed, shaking his head.

"Sorry, dumb question. Do you wanna talk about it?"

Albus was an open book, especially to Charlie, who had grown fonder and protective of the little Potter. He wasn't like his siblings or cousins. He was quiet, exceptionally bright but very timid.

"I'm not like them," He whispered, biting his lip. "I'm bad at everything."

Charlie snorted. "Really? The boy who nursed a wounded bowtruckle back to health at age eight is 'bad at everything'? Sorry if I find that hard to believe."

"But I'm not good at Quidditch."

"Quidditch isn't everything." Charlie said, summoning a handkerchief, which Al took gratefully.

"Still, I'm different." Albus said glumly. "They think I'm weird."

"Yes, you are. And that's what makes you so wonderful." Albus didn't look convinced, so he continued. "You know, you're a lot like me."

Al scoffed. "I don't play Quidditch though. You're brilliant, I've seen you play and I know you were Gryffindor captain. Mum told me."

Charlie nudged him softly. "I'm touched, mate. But no, what I mean is I was quiet too. I loved the outdoors, never really fit in with other kids my age. And that's okay."

"But you're so...cool."

"You are too! Well, maybe one day you'll be as cool as me. Though, don't aim for the impossible. Those aren't mutually exclusive."

Albus laughed lightly, which Charlie considered a win. But there was something in his eye that didn't seem right.

"Alright, Al?"

Albus fiddled with pieces of grass uncomfortably. He looked desperate to say something, but whatever was troubling him held him back.

"Is that why you never married?" He asked finally. Then he turned pink, mortified at how blunt that sounded. "I mean- not like you - I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude."

Charlie chuckled, shaking his head. "S' alright, I'm not offended. To answer your question, er, no."

"I realize how horrible that sounded the second it came out." Albus said, looking down. "I'm really sorry."

"The simple answer is, despite my ruggedly handsome good looks and my charming personality, I chose not to marry." He explained, grinning. "I just didn't want to. I've dated several blokes-"

"Blokes?" Albus' eyes lit up, a moment that was so quick, anyone who wasn't Charles Weasley could have missed it.

"Heh, you bet." He ruffled Al's curls. "I dated, and I found out on my own I'm happy where I am. Just like you aren't forced to play Quidditch, I'm not forced to get married. Of course those two are completely different things but my point still stands. I love my family, my friends and career."

"And...that's okay?"

"Sure is. Why wouldn't it be?"

Albus seems satisfied with that answer. "I might not marry either." He said firmly.

"Eh?"

"When you get married, you become boring." Al explained as if it was obvious. "You're cool, and you have the best job on the planet. So...I think I'll be like you and stay single."

"Well, you're only ten-"

"I might date though." He said hastily. "Pretty girls, maybe. But I don't think I'm ready for that sort of commitment." He folded his hands, surprisingly mature.

"Again, you're only ten."

Albus shrugged, grinning cheekily. "Just kidding."

Charlie couldn't help but laugh. "We'll see. Don't worry too much though. Really you should wait until you know for sure. So...do you wanna play something? Just the two of us."

"Not Quidditch?"

"Nope. Whatever you want to play."

"Wizard Chess!" He looked up eagerly. "Please?"

Charlie nodded, a mischievous glint in his eye. "You're on."

And the remainder of the evening, Uncle and nephew played chess until their hearts were content.

This might be over specific feel free to ignore but, Teddy going round to shell cottage to meet Vic and being cornered by Bill, and then later Fleur about how to treat their daughter and Teddy just 👁👄👁? (Also with gender queer teddy if you don't mind?) Once again sorry for how specific this is haha 😅

Definitely won’t ignore it! Thank you for the prompt! Hope you enjoy :)

~ It had been a while since Teddy had been to Shell Cottage. They used to spend summers here all the time as a child, playing on the beach with Victoire, swimming in the sea until the sun grew too hot and the two were called inside for lemonade. But once Teddy left for Hogwarts, they tended to spend holidays with their godparents or at the Burrow when they weren’t with their gran, because they missed Harry and Ginny, and Molly and Arthur. They saw Victoire all the time at Hogwarts. They spent hours with her, in the library or the Hufflepuff common room, or in the courtyard reading and playing gobstones. So Shell Cottage became rather distant.

However, when Teddy and Victoire started dating, they thought that a trip to her parents’ house was long overdue.

They were nervous, naturally, about meeting Vic’s parents, despite the fact that they had known Bill and Fleur for their whole life. But it was different now. Teddy was dating their daughter, and Teddy wasn’t sure if they’d approve.

Teddy was well-loved within the Potter-Weasley family. They were the Golden Child; the older sibling to every cousin; the last trace of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks, and when they started dating Victoire, no one was surprised. The two had been infatuated with each other since childhood, almost inseparable. A romance between them was frankly inevitable. But still... would Bill and Fleur approve?

When Teddy had come out as pansexual, they were accepted immediately, and Victoire made it clear that nothing had changed between them.

When Teddy came out as non-binary, a few of the older members of the family needed some time to get to grips with what that meant, as well as get used to using they/them pronouns to refer to them, but all in all, they were quickly accepted. And once again, Victoire made it clear that nothing had changed between them.

Their relationship was strong, and Teddy hoped that Bill and Fleur would be able to see that.

When Teddy arrived at Shell Cottage, they were rather pleased to see that hardly anything had changed. The beach was still the same, the house was still the same, even the wind chimes hanging from the front porch were still the same.

Teddy knocked on the door; they had decided to make a proper entrance rather than floo in, so they had apparated just beyond the sand dunes.

Victoire opened the door. Her face lit up when she saw them.

“Teddy!” She hugged them in greeting. Teddy hugged her back, breathing in her sweet perfume. “Come in!” Teddy walked the familiar route from the entrance hall into the kitchen, where Bill was standing over a sizzling pan of something that smelt very good.

“Wotcher, Teddy,” Bill greeted when he saw them. “Good to see you. It’s been ages!”

“Yeah,” replied Teddy. “Sorry about that.”

“That’s alright, we’ve got enough kids to keep track of as it is.” He grinned, and as he did, Fleur walked through the doorway, her usual presence instantly becoming the most noticable thing in the room. She spotted Teddy, and flung her arms out excitedly.

“Teddy! I didn’t know you were coming! Come here, cherie, it is so good to see you!” Teddy had barely taken a step towards her before she smothered them in an embrace and kissed them on both cheeks.

“Calm down, maman, you’ll suffocate them,” joked Victoire. Fleur let go but was still smiling. Victoire cleared her throat. “Now that you’re both here,” she began. “Teddy and I have something to tell you.” Teddy looked at her. Now? They thought. The two had been discussing this for weeks now, but Teddy still felt the desire to put it off for as long as possible. Victoire took no notice of them.

Bill and Fleur gave the couple their full attention, though a slight look of concern flashed across both of their faces, not knowing what Teddy and Victoire were going to tell them.

“You might want to sit down,” said Teddy. Bill and Fleur looked even more worried, but obeyed nonetheless.

“No, you don’t have to,” added Victoire, noting her parents’ tenseness. “Teddy, it’s not that big of a deal.”

“What’s not a big deal?” Asked Bill. Victoire hesitated before spitting it out, and Teddy was grateful that she had done it instead of them.

“Teddy and I are... are dating. We’re a couple.” She said it quickly, and she and Teddy waited in silence for a response.

Bill spoke first.

“Right... okay... I suppose it’s... no surprise...” he ran a hand through his long hair. “How long have you two been dating?”

“Little over two months,” replied Teddy, who felt like they should say something,  if only to not stand there awkwardly.

“Maman? What do you think?” Prompted Victoire. Fleur had yet to say anything, but she cleared her throat, ready to speak.

“Alors, I think zis is very good news. You two, are you... are you ‘appy?”

“Really happy!” Enthused Victoire. Teddy nodded as they put an arm around Victoire’s shoulder.

“Well zen zat is what is important, isn’t it, Bill?”

“Yes, absolutely!” Victoire and Teddy both smiled with relief. It had gone as well as they’d hoped, and now they no longer had to hide their relationship from Victoire’s parents anymore.

Bill stood up.

“Do you mind if I have a word with Teddy for a minute, Vic?” He asked, making Teddy suddenly think that they’d celebrated too early.

“Why?” Said Victoire.

“Don’t look so worried, I’m not going to hurt them,” Bill chuckled. Victoire looked from her father to Teddy, weighing up the options.

“Alright,” she sighed. “But don’t go all dad mode on them.” Bill put up his hands.

“You have my word.” Victoire squeezed Teddy’s hand and left the room.

“I’ll go with her,” offered Fleur, taking the cue from her husband and following her daughter out of the kitchen.

“I’m not in trouble am I?” Asked Teddy feebly, once the two girls were out of ear-shot. Bill was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed lazily against his chest.

“Nah! Come on, mate, how long have you known me? Contrary to what my kids  tell me, I’m pretty chilled out. And I’ve known you your whole life. I knew your parents too. I wouldn’t trust anyone with my daughter as much as I trust you. But I’m still Vic’s dad, and I still have a duty towards her. So I’m here to remind you that she’s young. She’s naive. And she’s trusting. And while that makes her sweet and lovely and what have you, it also makes her vulnerable and impressionable. And at the end of the day, Ted, you’re older than her.”

“I know, sir.” Teddy had never called Bill ‘sir’ before, but they felt that it was appropriate at this point in time.

“I don’t want you to force her to do anything she doesn’t want to do. I don’t imagine you will, because you’re a good kid, but you may get caught up in the moment and forget. So if you ever see Vic getting uncomfortable, you better stop whatever the hell you’re doing.”

“Yes, of course. I’d never make her feel uncomfortable.” Bill nodded.

“I know you won’t, and I trust you won’t, but I swear to Merlin, Ted, if you ever hurt my daughter I won’t hesitate to hex you.” Teddy almost wanted to laugh at the threat, but Bill seemed so genuinely serious that they didn’t think it would be wise.

“I promise I won’t hurt a single hair on her head. If I did I’d hex myself.” Bill let out a shadow of his usual grin, walked over to Teddy and patted them on the shoulder.

“I know, mate,” he said, and the two smiled, a shared bond momentarily passing between them over their love for Victoire Weasley, and Teddy felt closer to Bill than he’d ever done before.

~ Teddy stayed for dinner, and all six of them- including Dominique and Louis- sat round the dining table, laughing and chatting like old times. Dominique and Louis were glad to hear that Teddy and Victoire’s relationship was officially out in the open. They’d already known about it, and were starting to get tired of hiding it from their parents.

After dinner had finished and the plates had been washed up and put away, Teddy decided that they’d better get back to their gran’s house. Dominique and Louis said goodbye, Victoire kissed them and Bill shook their hand.

Fleur caught them in the hall when they were putting their jacket on.

“I assume Bill gave you the the whole look-after-her and don’t-hurt-her speech?” She said. Teddy nodded. “Oui, it is a father’s job. But... seriously. Be careful. She loves you so much. She always has done. If you hurt her, it will break her. Please don’t do that.” Teddy looked at her. She was speaking gently, yet the pleading in her voice was evident. Teddy felt their chest constrict, especially at Fleur’s statement that Victoire loved them. Teddy couldn’t help but hug her.

“I promise. I will never hurt Victoire,” they confidently, and almost fiercely, assured.

“Je sais, cherie,” she replied, hugging them back. “You are a good kid. A very good kid.”

~ This was fun to write! And I’ll start working on your other request too!

Star-Crossed ⁕ Chapter Seven

←Chapter 6 |  Master list

Thalia wasn’t able to get any sleep that night, staring at the ceiling of her four-poster bed as she recalled where she went wrong, in which part of that day did Fred start treating her differently. Did she really force herself into the Weasley family? Last she recalled, Bill, Charlie, and Percy seemed pretty fond of her – and so were Ginny and Ron.  

Molly had expressed her love for her countless of times – was all of it fake?  

She was distracted by a knock on their dorm room. Wiping her tears away, she glanced towards her clock that read 5AM, as she slowly peeled herself off her bed. Illuminating her wand as she opened the door, she was surprised to see Ginny standing on the other side, offering her a tired – yet sleepy – smile.

“George told me what happened” Ginny whispered, walking in, following Thalia onto her bed, “I thought I’d offer you some of my company”

“Thank you, Gin” Thalia replied, lying down beside Ginny, who had already slipped under the covers, making herself comfortable.  

They were face-to-face now, Ginny smiling at Thalia, “We love you, you know?” She whispered. “Fred, George, all of us – me, especially. You practically grew up with us. You're- you're not just a friend. Merlin, you risked your life protecting us back in the World Cup”

“That’s... that’s something people do, Gin – it's a given”

“I can name a handful of people who wouldn’t jump in front of Death Eaters to protect others at the top of my head – a hundred of them, even! If you’d give me some time to make a list”

“You don’t-” Thalia giggled, “You don’t have to, Ginny. Besides, Fred was probably just stressed out. He's always wanted to prove himself as something more, you know? And I guess he saw the Triwizard Tournament as the proper opportunity to do so”

Ginny stared at her for a moment, eyes wide, studying her, “How do you do that?”

“Do what?”

“Defend him... even if he’s hurt you”

“I guess” Thalia didn’t know how to properly word her reply, “I guess he means a lot more to me than an argument – that our conflict is far less important than our friendship”

Ginny hummed, failing to stifle a yawn as she buried herself deeper under the covers, “You’re way too good for him, Lia... and I can’t wait to be there when he realizes that”

She woke up hours later, feeling a bit lighter in her chest as she pulled herself out of bed. Noticing Ginny had left, probably to get breakfast, she pulled on her comfiest clothes – mainly a pair of jeans and an oversized sweater – dragging her feet down the dormitories and out the Gryffindor Tower. The walk to the Great Hall had been peaceful, since majority of the students have already gotten up before her, leaving the hallways almost empty, aside from a few students who have finished breakfast early.

It was easy to spot Ginny among the crowd of students, since the moment she entered, the younger girl was already waving her over. With a smile, she approached her, greeting George and Lee with a good morning.

“Lia,” George started, turning his attention towards Thalia as she poured some cereal into her bowl. “I’m really sorry about last night”

She looked up towards him briefly, giving a smile, “You shouldn’t be the one apologizing, you weren’t the one saying any of those things. You were even trying to stop him but he wouldn’t listen”

“And he was a prick for not doing so” Lee added from across her, shaking his head. “I don’t know what’s gotten into him - do you, George?”

“I’m afraid I have no clue” He shook his head, “He wasn’t like that last summer”

“S’far as I can remember, he couldn’t get his hands off you” Ginny pointed out, smirking up at Thalia whose couldn’t help but smile at the memory of Fred clinging onto her on the sofa, refusing to let go even when Thalia made a move to stand so she can greet Charlie.

A few moments of silence passed between them as they ate their breakfast, Ginny and George sending looks towards one another behind Thalia, before Ron’s voice cut into their group.

“Lia, Krum’s looking at you” He croaked out, earning a laugh from Thalia and Harry - who laughed into his drink.  

Thalia looked up and peered towards the Slytherin table, to see that Krum was indeed looking at her. What caught her attention more, though, was the same Durmstrang boy from last night, who immediately broke his gaze towards her shyly when he had realized that she was looking.  

Out of curiosity, she watched his interaction with her cousin, Draco, who seemed to be arguing with him. It caught her by surprise though, when Viktor had stood up, forcing his friend up as well, dragging him towards their direction with Draco leading the way.

“Merlin’s beard he’s coming this way!” Ron shrieked, hiding his face in excitement as Viktor Krum neared. 

She didn’t think much of it as the trio got closer, her attention drifting further away when Harry and Draco began their usual row. However, when Draco called her attention, she was quick to look up, eyes landing on the Durmstrang boy for far longer than she intended to, before darting towards the smirking Draco Malfoy, who had caught her stare.

“Good morning, dear cousin! I’d like to introduce you to someone...”

˚✧₊⁎⁺˳✧༚

Fred stirred awake from his short slumber, stretching his aching back as he looked towards the clock in their dormitory. He cheered internally, realizing there was more than enough time for him to catch breakfast, even if he was nearly an hour late. He glanced towards his brother’s bed as he left his bed, muttering profanities while he slipped on his sweater, blaming his brother for his need to rush since he wasn’t woken up.

He caught sight of the cauldron on the floor in between their beds, confused as to why it was there, with a moss-like green liquid inside it, until the events of last night started to sink in slowly. He couldn’t escape as the foul words he had said to Thalia started pouring into his memory, his harsh and sharp voice snapping towards her.

“Shite,” He whispered to himself, rushing to put on his shoes as he walked, nearly stumbling in the process. He rushed out the dormitories and out the Gryffindor common room, running towards the Great Hall where he was sure he would find Thalia.

He smiled when he saw her in their usual spot laughing at Ron with Harry. Their attentions directed somewhere Fred was unsure of. He was about to follow their gazes when a shoulder bumped into his roughly, putting him out of balance.

It was nearly impossible for him to hold back his gawk, realizing that it was actually Viktor Krum. The Bulgarian Seeker turned back to look at Fred, mumbling a “sorry” as he continued to drag his friend towards...Thalia's direction? by the collar.

Fred couldn’t spare a laugh even when his younger brother had shrieked into his hand, disbelief in his face to see Krum was approaching them. By that time, he become much more curious and wary, especially upon seeing Draco Malfoy lead the group.  

He heard Harry snap, “Sod off, Malfoy” as he neared his siblings, standing just a few ways away from George and Lee.  

“As if I’m here for you, Potter” Draco sneered, snapping his head towards Thalia who wasn’t paying them much attention.  

“Good morning, dear cousin! I’d like to introduce you to someone...” The blonde moved aside to showcase the Durmstrang, patting the bloke’s shoulder. “This is Leo Kurroff. He said he found you bloody gorgeous -”

"I’m sure the lad could speak for himself” Thalia interrupted.  

Fred could practically see the way her eyebrow raised just from the tone of her voice which breaching the fine line between sarcasm and dead-seriousness. He knew where this was going. He knew Thalia, who had claimed far too many times that relationships weren’t her thing and that she’d wait until graduation to find someone.

He smirked, waiting for Thalia to reject the poor man, who had now turned red in embarrassment. He leaned on George’s shoulder, his twin glancing briefly at him before returning his attention to the scene. Merlin, they’ve seen how she’s rejected people before! that poor seventh year Ravenclaw a year ago, and those two Gryffindors in their year – watching this is going to be fun.  

“Well, out wi’it, boy!” Lee teased from his seat near the Durmstrang, Leo,, elbowing him in the arm.

Leo cleared his throat, looking paler than he did seconds ago, before rushing out, “Willyougoonadatewithme?”

“Excuse me?” Thalia laughed softly, she was smiling at him in amusement now.  

Fred looked down to see Ginny and Hermione giggling behind their hands as they watched Leo rub his face in frustration, before shifting to Ron who was nearly hyperventilating at his close proximity with his favorite Seeker. 

Leo took deep breaths in, before stepping forward, looking far more confident than he had been moments ago. “Will you go on a date with me?” He asked clearly this time.

By now, they have gathered the attention of nearly half the Great Hall, including the professors’ in the staff, who were watching the scene unfold in front of them. It felt like no one was breathing in the silence of the hall, all eyes towards them as they waited for Thalia’s response.

Fred couldn’t help but think about how much of a shame it was Leo decided to ask her out publicly, which would equate to an ever more public rejection. His thoughts left his mind when he saw Thalia open her mouth, grinning as he waited for the big fat ‘NO’ to leave her mouth. Here it comes, and-

“I don’t see why not?”

A wave of emotions washed over Fred, sending chills down to his toes as his grin faltered. He could barely hear Leo ask a ‘really?’ in disbelief as he felt his eyes dart anywhere but there – anywhere but the scene in front of him. 

Maybe it was the guilt of last night’s events that caused his reaction? Or the lack of sleep? Or the fact that Thalia has been making more guy friends this year while Fred and her were drifting apart?

In the corner of his eye, he could see Ginny looking at him in both disappointment and worry. But his mind was fuzzy to the point where he had to steady himself on George’s shoulders for a moment.

“You alright, Freddie?” Fred hadn’t even noticed that Viktor Krum and the others had left – hell, he didn’t even realize he had his eyes shut tightly as he tried to regain his steady breathing.

He didn’t respond. Instead, he met Thalia’s eyes, who stared back at him with pure concern in her face. He could read her like an open book. Her eyes were pained as she looked at him, even if she tried to hide it. He couldn’t stand seeing it – he couldn’t stand looking at her. So he did what is probably the second worst thing he had done to her in the span of a few hours. He ran.

STAR-CROSSED TAG LIST:

AU where Harry is raised with the Malfoy’s instead of the Dursley’s

Ok, so this is based off of an idea that a friend gave me to do with the old magic Lily performed when she sacrificed herself for Harry. I’m not sure if I’ll ever turn this into an actual fic (unless someone really wants me to), but here is my headcanon. It’s a bit long, so buckle up folks.

So, we all know that Lily sacrificed herself for Harry, creating a protective charm over him so that, as long as he lived with her blood, he’d be safe. But what if it had been James, not Lily.

By the time Jily had had Harry, James’ parents were both dead and he had no siblings. Except, he sort of did. Sirius Black.

Sirius ran away to the Potters when he was 16, effectively becoming James’ brother. So, when James sacrifices himself for Harry and Lily, a bond is made. Harry would be safe as long as he lives with someone of James’ blood (well, technically adopted blood, but also the Potters and the Blacks were both old pureblood families so they’re probably related by actual blood in some way. Wizards are incestuous y’all).

But there’s a problem, Sirius is in Azkaban and Harry still needs somewhere to go to be protected.

Sirius’ biological parents are RIGHT out, and Regulus is dead, so that’s a no go. So cousins.

Well, Bellatrix Lestrange is also RIGHT out because she’s batshit crazy and also in Azkaban. There’s Andromeda, and she’d be a lovely choice. She’s a mother. But, she also has a big target on her back since she married a muggle-born. But, this is Dumbledore making the decision and although his main motivation is to keep Harry safe, he also can’t help but think that maybe this is also an opportunity for him to spy on the other side. And Sirius has one more cousin. Narcissa.

The Malfoys had managed to escape being charged with being Death Eaters, they had a lot of influence over the magical world, and they had a son that was Harry’s age. So, most likely case scenario, Dumbledore gets an excuse to spy on the Malfoys under the guise of checking up on Harry every once and a while. But there’s also a second scenario that could happen. One Dumbledore didn’t exactly plan on.

Narcissa was only a Death Eater because of her circumstances. She wanted to protect her family. Protect Draco. But now her family included Harry.

Harry and Draco become fast friends. They’re brothers. Lucius is still a racist pig and tries to impart this on both of the boys, because dammit if he’s going to have to take care of the boy that defeated the Dark Lord, maybe he can at least use him.

But this is Harry we’re talking about. He’s his mother’s son. Kind and gentle, even despite his circumstances. I mean, in canon he spent 10 years locked in a closet, and his first instinct when he meets Ron is to accept him as a friend wholeheartedly when most people would understandably be guarded AF. So the racist indoctrination doesn’t really work on Harry. And, in seeing Harry’s courage, it doesn’t work on Draco either, for the most part. He tries really hard, at least.

Fast-forward to September 1st, 1991. Narcissa drops her two boys off at Platform 9 and 3/4 (Lucius is busy doing whatever creepy things he’s doing still). Harry and Draco happen upon an empty compartment and take a seat. Moments later, Ron comes by and asks to sit. They get around to introductions and Draco realizes that Ron is a Weasley, and although his first instinct is to repeat something his father had said about the Weasley family, he bites his tongue. Ron is shocked that Harry even lives with the Malfoys, but after a train ride full of sweets and laughter, Ron and Draco both realize that maybe their parent’s perception of the other’s family is wrong.

Draco is still sorted into Slytherin. He’s excited at first to make his family proud, but then when Harry is sorted after him and into Gryffindor, he’s disappointed. It’ll be the first time that he won’t be sharing a room with his adoptive brother. But that doesn’t stop him from still being friends with Harry. And eventually Ron. And even later, Hermione. Draco makes friends with some of his fellow Slytherins, but part of it always sits wrong with him. They only want to be friends with him because of his last name. In the Slytherin common room, he’s always Malfoy. But when he gets let into the Gryffindor common room to hang out, he’s Draco. He prefers it that way. 

First-year, Quirrell tries to kill Harry, although they’re all convinced it was Snape all along. Even Draco. He hates his head-of-house and sticks up for his brother often, knowing that he won’t have any consequences for it. Draco goes with the trio to protect the stone and prevent Voldemort’s return, his father be damned. He didn’t want a second war ripping apart his family.

Second-year, Lucius manages to slip Ginny a diary that would help Voldemort return. It causes a huge rift between Draco and Ron’s friendship, even though Draco had gone with them to rescue Ginny. It left Harry in a really awkward position between his brother and his best friend. And it made for a very strained third year.

Third-year, Sirius escapes from prison and is seemingly after Harry. Although Draco is not as welcome with the Gryffindors as he once was, he is still hell-bent on protecting his brother. Especially since it’s his crazy uncle that’s after him to begin with. I’m the Shrieking Shack, Draco is there and stand up with Ron to protect Harry. Sirius falters at the idea that his godson and his nephew are so close. It reminds him of him and James. The adoptive kinship. Wormtail still escapes, and Sirius is on the run, but Draco spends all of his energy trying to figure out how to set things right. There has to be a way to clear his uncle’s name. Draco spends almost the entire summer trying to figure it out. He also spends the entire summer hearing whispers of a plan to ensure the return of the Voldemort. He hears Wormtail’s name. And he comes up with a plan.

Fourth-year, Draco offers to be a spy for Dumbledore. He knows he can get information out of his parents. He wants to help. He doesn’t want a second war ripping his family apart, even if it means distancing himself from his brother temporarily to make sure that doesn’t happen. Harry is chosen for the Triwizard Tournament, which Draco realizes was the first step of the plan. He wishes that he could be there cheering on his brother, but he can’t. By the time the third task rolls around, Draco knows the full plan. He tells Dumbledore, but it’s a little too late. By the time Dumbledore reaches the graveyard, Voldemort is back, but he escapes without a trace. Fudge still tries to swear that Voldemort is back, despite both Harry’s, Dumbledore’s, and several Auror’s accounts of the events. But at least Wormtail is captured, as well as a few of the Death Eaters, including Lucius.

Sirius is cleared of all charges. In theory, Harry could go to live with him now. It was the original plan after all. Harry would be safe. Safer than he would be living under the roof of a convicted Death Eater. But Harry is hesitant to leave his brother, who also wasn’t that safe living under the Malfoy roof. Harry wants to stay, but Draco doesn’t. He takes a page out of his uncle’s book and runs away. Narcissa is heartbroken at the loss of her two boys, the real loves of her life, and she makes a decision. Her husband is in prison and her sons are off Godric knows where with her convicted murderer ex-convicted murderer cousin. If her sons could be courageous enough to stand up against Voldemort, then so could she. So, to hell with the Dark Lord.

Although it pains her to, she pretends to cut the boys out of her life. If she stayed in contact with them, the Dark Lord would see right through her subterfuge. She tells no one of her plans. At least, not yet. Not until she has the information she needs to take the Dark Lord down. She doesn’t trust Dumbledore not to make a mess of things. She needs to do this on her own.

Fifth-year, Harry and Draco are living with Sirius at Grimmauld Place, which is the safe house for the Order of the Phoenix. Umbridge infiltrates the school and makes their lives hell. Harry forms Dumbledore’s Army and Draco joins. He’s the only Slytherin there, but he doesn’t care. At the end of the year, they infiltrate the Department of Mysteries. They need to get the prophesy before Voldemort does and although Sirius hates the idea, Harry is the only one who can retrieve it. Although the Order is there to help, there’s still a huge battle with the Death Eaters that had recently escaped, Lucius included. Say what you will about Lucius, but he still hesitates when he sees Draco, fighting side by side with Harry, Sirius, and the other members of the Order, and it’s this hesitation that provides an opportunity for the Order to escape, at least mostly harm free.

Sixth-year, Dumbledore starts to groom Harry to understand his connection to Voldemort. Narcissa starts to understand the connection as well. She has done well at making herself invaluable to the Dark Lord and one night she hears him mention a bit of old magic. Horcruxes. She makes the connection that the diary her husband had slipped Ginny Weasley four years ago had to have been one. This is the bit of information that she needed. This was the information that could take him down. The information that could bring her boys back to her.

At the end of the year, Dumbledore is dead. Snape killed him, according to the Dark Lord’s plan. In the chaos, she manages to slip her son a message. She’s managed to figure out the identity of five Horcruxes. The diary, which she knew to be destroyed, the Gaunt family ring, which she suspected was also destroyed, the locket, the Hufflepuff goblet, and Ravenclaw’s diadem. She only knew the location of one, the goblet in the Lestrange family vault, but if Harry at least knows the identity of the Horcruxes, it might give him more of a fighting chance to find them. And she knows he’s going to try.

Seventh-year, Draco goes with Harry, Ron, and Hermione to find the Horcruxes. He’s there when they’re all captured and thrown into the Malfoy family dungeon, because, although his last name is Malfoy, it doesn’t mean he’s spared the fate of the others. He’s a blood traitor. It pains Narcissa to watch her two boys fight the way they are, but she reminds herself of her mission and hopes that one day they forgive her for her deceit.

The next time Narcissa sees her adoptive son is May 2, 1998, in the Forbidden Forest. Harry walks up to Voldemort with his head held high, ready to face death. She manages to keep her composure as she watches her son be brutally murdered by the Dark Lord. She manages to hold in the scream of grief as she watches him collapse onto the ground. She manages to suppress the urge to fire a killing curse at the Dark Lord herself in revenge as he asks her to go check to make sure that Harry is dead. She never once thought that she was making the wrong choice when she turned spy against him, but at that moment, as the Dark Lord asked her specifically to check the body, the body of the boy he knew she’d raised from an infant, she realized that not only had she not made the wrong choice. She’d made the right one. This bastard needed to die and die for good this time. Her breath catches in her throat as she bends over the body of her son and realizes that he was still faintly breathing. She manages to keep a straight face as she asks after her other son, whom she hadn’t seen yet in all the chaos. Once she gets confirmation of his wellbeing, leans in even further and whispers to him about one last Horcrux. The snake. Nagini. It’s a risky move, but he needs to know. The only way the Dark Lord will be defeated forever is if he’s completely vulnerable. Message received, she straightens and announces that Harry is in fact dead.

The next events take place in a blur. Harry reveals himself to be alive. The snake is killed. So is the Dark Lord. The Death Eaters are captured and sent to prison, with the exception of Narcissa. Harry offers testimony that she’d been spying all along and had passed him valuable information that contributed to Voldemort’s downfall.

In the aftermath, Narcissa is reunited with her sons and makes amends with her cousin, Sirius, Harry, tired of fighting, goes on to be a professor at Hogwarts, and Draco goes on to work at the Ministry with Hermione, desperate to try to bring some good into the wizarding world and make up for the horror that has been associated with his last name for so long.

To complete this for all the Potter siblings, I'd love some headcanons on Lily and Ryan and their kids.❤️

So I haven’t thought as much about Lily’s kids, but here we go:

Michael Harry Thomas:

Born October 15, 2028

Lily was really nervous while pregnant with him, but he was a really easy pregnancy and a very sweet baby

Named after Ryan’s bio dad and Harry (obviously)

He goes by Michael, so he isn’t confused with his cousin Mike Anthony (James stepson)

He takes a lot after Ryan, he’s very smart and likes to be in the background and loves music!

He followed after Lily everywhere she went when he was little and would sit in the back of her dance classes

No one is surprised when he’s sorted into Ravenclaw

He gets very close to Al and Maggie while at Hogwarts

He also gets interested in the healing properties of music

When he graduates from Hogwarts, he decides to go to Muggle University to study psychology and music

He brings his findings back to the Wizarding world and he applies his practices to his patients

It helps open up new therapies used for mental illnesses

Stephan Arthur Thomas:

Born May 21, 2030

His pregnancy was a bit more challenging, but lily was less nervous about giving birth

Michael was very excited to be an older brother!

Stephan takes more after Lily, stubborn, expressive, and loud when needed

He’s close to Apollo and Artemis (Rose and Scorpius’ twins) and he gets a huge crush on Amy (Becca and Lysander’s daughter) when their pretty young

He’s sorted into Gryffindor along with Amy and it just pushes them closer

They start dating when their sixteen and the whole family raises an eyebrow, they just never expected it to actually happen

Stephan works a lot of odd jobs before becoming a manager at the Dragon’s Egg Inn, the Inn that Amy’s family owns

He’s the night manager along with Amy and they spend most of their late nights snogging in the office

It isn’t until Amy get pregnant that Stephan starts to actually grow up and he decides that he doesn’t want to be an employee anymore

He and Amy buy a huge manor and turn it into a wedding venue/hotel

It’s called the Lovegood Manor

Alena Mary Thomas:

Born December 9, 2036

She was not expected at all

But Lily is really happy for the chance of a daughter, and she is not disappointed

Ryan is nervous to have a daughter, but it goes away the second he holds her

Michael and Stephan are both angry about Lily having another baby, but the bigger she gets, the more quietly excited they get

Alena brings a lot of joy to them as a family

She’s a dancer like Lily and loves to perform, she puts on little recitals for anyone she can (especially her Grandpa Harry and Nana Ginny)

She’s sorted into Hufflepuff at Hogwarts along with her favorite cousin Lilliana

The pair of them cause a little trouble, but it’s all in good fun and usually aimed at Al

(He takes a great joy in writing to his siblings about their children misbehaving)

She keeps up with her dancing at school and in the summers help Lily teach classes at the dance studio

When she graduates, she has no idea what she wants to do and spends a lot of time going from job to job

She finds a home at the Leaky Cauldron as a server/barmaid

She eventually takes over and brings back the music nights that Teddy would tell her about

It also gives her the opportunity to dance behind the bar and have some fun

So in case anyone was wondering, I have a living document of the whole Weasley family, including all of the kids, and their kids, and other families that have appeared in my fics. I use it as reference all the time and it helps me keep my ages and dates straight across all of my fics, and also because I don’t know when someone might become relevant to a story. Such as Susan Bones when she appeared in Invisible String.

Send me a Weasley for head canons!

Can you name three of your absolute favourite characters to write and why you love writing them so much? 🥰

Hello, thank you, and yes I absolutely can (narrowing it down to three might be hard though).

James Sirius Potter - my tiny boy, my beloved, my precious bean, my lil baby. He is such a delight to write, with his witty personality, almost a bit of a asshole sometimes, but has one of the biggest hearts ever known to the human population. He cares so fiercely about the people around him, but he likes a laugh, he likes pranks and he loves Quidditch. I just really liked developing his story and progressing his character, particularly with the relationship he has with his siblings. He's a joy, and I love him very much.

Molly Weasley Junior - she. she. she. my Slytherin Weasley, my girl. I just love writing her and her relationships with her cousins, particularly Albus and then also with Scorpius. It's slow going for her character, but I am slowly figuring her out and so far I have loved writing her. and because I love her, here is a little snippet from my wip (if only you would) take my hand:

“Why can’t I be an only child?” Molly jokes, looking at her dad.

“I’ll be an only child in a minute if you don’t shut up,” Lucy barked back, grabbing a scone and lobbing it across the table, missing Molly’s face by a few inches. She didn’t even flinch. 

Molly sniggered. “Ooh, I’m so scared,” she waved her hands in faux surrender, rolling her eyes.

Finally, Scorpius Malfoy and Albus Potter (I'm cheating by including them together, sorry not sorry) - these boys have taught me a lot. Not only are they the very characters that got me back into writing, I see myself in them both a lot and they make things a little easier when real life is difficult. They're beautiful, bright and incredible characters, they're sweet and honest and innocent, and there is nothing more pure than writing them, both together and separate.
