#ArtDungeon.net

[hell-and-pepsi]

you know, i barely ever talk about where my icon is from, and i should because the artist is really worth celebrating.

they used to go by Marta T or seviet, and they used to have a website called artdungeon.net . it's been down since 2011 but it's on the wayback machine, and i highly recommend checking it out! there are countless stunning traditional pieces, many of which illustrate canon scenes.

im very sad that the artist has been inactive for years, but im grateful that their work is still here. the harry potter fandom has evolved and changed in years, but you can't deny that it left many people with many happy memories. marta made me very happy back when i was an active potterhead. they still do.

Harry moved so quickly that, had he been solid, he would have knocked desks flying. Instead he seemed to slide, dreamlike, across two aisles and up a third. The back of the black-haired boy's head drew nearer and ... he was straightening up now, putting down his quill, pulling his roll of parchment towards him so as to reread what he had written ... Harry stopped in front of the desk and gazed down at his fifteen-year-old father. Excitement exploded in the pit of his stomach: it was as though he was looking at himself but with deliberate mistakes. James's eyes were hazel, his nose was slightly longer than Harry's and there was no scar on his forehead, but they had the same thin face, same mouth, same eyebrows; James's hair stuck up at the back exactly as Harry's did, his hands could have been Harry's and Harry could tell that, when James stood up, they would be within an inch of each other in height. James yawned hugely and rumpled up his hair, making it even messier than it had been. Then, with a glance towards Professor Flitwick, he turned in his seat and grinned at a boy sitting four seats behind him. With another shock of excitement, Harry saw Sirius give James the thumbs-up. Sirius was lounging in his chair at his ease, tilting it back on two legs. He was very good-looking; his dark hair fell into his eyes with a sort of casual elegance neither James's nor Harry's could ever have achieved, and a girl sitting behind him was eyeing him hopefully, though he didn't seem to have noticed. And two seats along from this girl--Harry's stomach gave another pleasurable squirm-- was Remus Lupin. He looked rather pale and peaky (was the full moon approaching?) and was absorbed in the exam: as he reread his answers, he scratched his chin with the end of his quill, frowning slightly.

Harry received a slight shock; blinking down at him from every direction was Sirius's face. Newspaper cuttings and old photographs--even the one of Sirius being best man at the Potters' wedding--papered the walls. The only Sirius-free space was a map of the world in which little red pins were glowing like jewels. 'Here,' said Kingsley brusquely to Mr. Weasley, shoving a sheaf of parchment into his hand. 'I need as much information as possible on flying Muggle vehicles sighted in the last twelve months. We've received information that Black might still be using his old motorcycle.' Kingsley tipped Harry an enormous wink and added, in a whisper, 'Give him the magazine, he might find it interesting.' Then he said in normal tones, 'And don't take too long, Weasley, the delay on that firelegs report held our investigation up for a month.' 'If you had read my report you would know that the term is "firearms",' said Mr. Weasley coolly. 'And I'm afraid you'll have to wait for information on motorcycles; we're extremely busy at the moment.' He dropped his voice and said, 'If you can get away before seven, Molly's making meatballs.'

'Guard?' said Harry. 'We have to go to King's Cross with a guard?' 'You have to go to King's Cross with a guard,' Hermione corrected him. 'Why?' said Harry irritably. 'I thought Voldemort was supposed to be lying low, or are you telling me he's going to jump out from behind a dustbin to try and do me in.' 'I don't know, it's just what Mad-Eye says,' said Hermione distractedly, looking at her watch.
