🪄 Under the guise of the disillusionment spell, you’re sneaking up to use the prefect’s bathroom when, from behind another door you hear the faintest sound of…
…Professor Sharp singing his heart out. Why? It’s simply a good day to be Aesop, it seems. And that makes you smile. 🥰
other hogwarts legacy players: *looking at Sebastian* don’t you think this the most beautiful men?
me: *looking at professor Sharp being grumpy* indeed he is.
Nurse Blainey: I wouldn't let him see MC because visiting hours were over, so he wasn't allowed to stay... So, he punched himself in the face and told me he was injured.
Professor Sharp: Well, you have to admire his dedication?
Sebastian is a good student. He’s bright, he’s charming, and it’s no wonder his teachers think he’s capable because his parents were both professors so it would make sense that he’s grown up well-read and educated.
But then Anne gets cursed before the end of their fourth year and stops attending Hogwarts - as his fourth year draws to a close, his grades begin to slip because he’s not paying attention in class, he starts breaking curfew because he’s staying up after hours to research cures, all he can think about is how to help his sister and it negatively impacts his studies. He puts on a facade in class, but his smiles are fake, and when he thinks no one is looking, he turns sullen. The only friend he spends much time with anymore is Ominis, and while their friendship is admirable, it’s a far cry from the boy who used to banter with everyone, the boy who always had something to say. The professors try to be understanding given his circumstances, but they’re all undeniably worried about him.
At the beginning of fifth year, this behaviour continues - but there’s something different, if only slightly. Hecat notices it first in the first DADA lesson of the year when he duels the new fifth year; despite the fact he loses this duel, she notices the way he grins at the new student, his boyish face bright in a way it hasn’t been since his sister was cursed. It’s nice to see him smile again, she thinks.
The next to notice it is Professor Weasley, when she comes to fetch him from detention with a “special task”; he looks surprised but relieved to be out of detention, and listens as she explains that she wants him to take the new fifth year to Hogsmeade for supplies. She doesn’t miss the way he beams ear to ear upon hearing that the fifth year asked for him specifically when encouraged to go with a friend, and as he goes to meet them in the entrance hall, there’s a sudden bounce to his step. It makes her smile to herself, pleased that he seems genuinely happy.
It doesn’t take long for all of the faculty to notice it, and it becomes a hot topic of conversation among them. Garlick insists that she keeps seeing him and the new fifth year laughing together on their way to Herbology, even on days they don’t work together; Sharp notes that while Sebastian still works with Ominis, he’s often seen at the potion station of the new student, the two of them talking in low teasing tones that suggest a friendly banter. Ronen disclosed that while the new student often chooses to sit with Natty or Poppy for Charms, he’s caught them and Sebastian looking at each other from across the classroom; everyone has a good chuckle when even Fig remarks that he’s often seen Sebastian waiting outside of his classroom when the new student leaves, as if the Slytherin boy has been waiting to see them. Many of the other teachers also recall seeing the two in each other’s presence around the school constantly, sharing sweets and talking.
They all agree that the presence of the new fifth year student is the cause of Sebastian’s uplifted mood, there’s no other explanation quite frankly. He’s not completely the same as he was before - he is still breaking curfew, still not focusing completely on his work, still seems sullen on most days - but when he’s around the new student, he’s definitely happier and more like his old self.
Prof. Sharp: So... who broke it? I'm not mad. I just want to know.
MC: I did. I broke-
Sharp: No, no you didn't. Mr. Gaunt?
Ominis: Don't look at me. Look at Garreth.
Garreth: What? I didn't break it.
Ominis: Huh. That's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?
Garreth: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.
Ominis, squinting: Suspicious.
Garreth: No, it's not!
Sebastian: If it matters, probably not, but Poppy was the last one to use it.
Poppy: Liar! I don't even brew that crap!
Sebastian: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by the inventory earlier?
Poppy: I use the weighing scales to measure out beast feed; everyone knows that, Sebastian!
MC: Ok, ok! Let’s not fight! I broke it, let me pay for it, Professor!
Sharp: No! Who broke it?
Garreth, leaning in: ...Professor... Natty's been awfully quiet.
Natty: REALLY?
Garreth: Yeah! Really.
Natty: For Merlin's sake!
*group starts arguing*
Sharp, to the faculty: I broke it. My leg bumped into the shelf, and it fell. I predict ten minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with war paint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.
*looks back at the group that continues to argue*
Sharp: Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.
A/N: Just some very short little snippets (*not exactly a 100 word drabble, but close) of smut scenes I'm thinking of but can't put into my writings just yet. You can imagine any character you want here, it's just a he and a she doing it. This one is set in a shower (so maybe imagine modern AUs for characters that might not have showers in their timeline).

She gasps and winces when he pushes in, so forceful it hurts, so demanding she needs it, and more of it. She clings to him, meets his lips with fervor, a hunger she can't explain. Her tongue wrestles with his, licking, sucking, nibbling. The kiss as intense as his thrusts that make her move up and down the tiled wall.
Strong hands grip her plump cheeks, kneading, squishing, leaving bruises. Holding her against the onslaught of sensations crashing into her.
She moans louder, her breath mingling with his as she stares into his eyes, longingly, hungrily. Fingers digging into his shoulders, desperate to hold on as his rhythm gets faster, rougher, slamming her into the wall with every snap of his hips. His groans are loud in her ears, overpowering even the rush of water streaming down on them.
A final deep push, almost bruising, the scorching heat of his seed overwhelming as he empties himself inside of her.
She cries out, collapsing into his arms, body spasming against him, before going limp, muscles tightening around his twitching cock. His orgasm causes her own to break through the tension, her release so powerful she can only gasp and whimper soundlessly, lips parted wide, face contorted in ecstasy, arms tight around his neck, thighs trembling against him.
Marvolo Gaunt is not in the game, so he is not on my iceberg. Sorry.
Black, Amit, and Leander are in a lifeboat. Leander is the only one rowing. Amit is crying while Professor Black criticizes Leander's rowing abilities and resolve.
Richard Jackdaw is physically unable to travel to the arctic circle due to his status as a ghost.
Seb: If I were to use Accio on mc, do you think it would summon her?
Garreth: No, I think it would unwillingly summon the clothes off her body.
Seb: I guess I can see how that may be… problematic.
Ominis: I told you before, Sebastian. Accio doesn’t work on people, but the clothes themselves. It would be absolutely problematic if you were to try that on mc.
Garreth: Especially now, considering we’re in the middle of Potions class and need to speed things up on our healing potions. Sharp has been eyeing us for quite some time now.
Seb: Perhaps seeing mc without clothes may be all the healing I n—
Ominis: *sighs* Sebastian, please… focus on brewing your Wiggenweld potion!
Hi!! I absolutely LOVE your writing, you do such an amazing job!! I was wondering, if you have the time and are taking requests, could you do how each character cuddles with MC? Can be platonic or romantic, and I was wondering if you could also add professors. Thank you so much, I hope it's not to much to ask!! Have a great day/night!!❤️
A/N: romantic cuddling for the friends, platonic cuddle/hugs for the professors :3
HLC CUDDLE HEADCANNONS
SEBASTIAN SALLOW: This boy is a snake. Full body wrapped around MC like a python. He won't let go easily, either. But he's warm and gives many kisses, so the entrapment is worth it.
OMINIS GAUNT: Physical touch has rarely led to good things in his life so MC will need to be patient with him. Once their relationship is to the point that he feels safe with them, he cuddles with his hands constantly mapping their body. He will have every part of them committed to memory.
ANNE SALLOW: She likes laying on top of them with her face on their chest. She finds their heartbeat soothing. She also likes hearing it speed up when she's feeling cheeky.
IMELDA REYES: Physical touch isn't one of her love languages, so she doesn't go out of her way to cuddle them. She doesn't reject it, She finds MC's affection cute, but she'll be reading or messing with her wand while she lays there with MC attached.
NATSAI ONAI: She is the big spoon. She must protecc. She whispers all sorts of sweet nothing's while she's holding them and gives little neck kisses.
GARRETH WEASLEY: Cuddling him is dangerous because MC never knows what he'll do. This goof can't help but make MC laugh. He loves hearing it. He'll boop their nose, lick their face, even tickle them for a reaction.
LEANDER PREWETT: Long boi with long limbs. MC is tangled in him with little hope of getting away. He has quite the wingspan, so even if MC is on the other side of the bed, he can just casually reach over and yoink them to his side.
AMIT THAKKAR: Hope MC likes his voice, cause he's a talker. MC is his captive audience and he will go on and on and ON about just about anything. Mostly astronomical topics, but he goes off on tangents.
EVERETT CLOPTON: He's the little spoon. Doesn't matter how tall MC is compared to him. They could be the longest mfer or just a little backpack, he loves them either way. He feels held.
POPPY SWEETING: Smol. Turns into a ball like a little hedgehog. Might get lost in the cushions or blankets, so hold tight. Also a bit of a squirmer, sometimes struggles to get comfortable. She'll settle down eventually.
~~~~
ELEAZAR FIG: Dad. Hugs. Like, sit on the couch under his arm, dad hugs. Warm and comforting and loving. MC will likely fall asleep.
MATILDA WEASLEY: She's not too much of a hugger, but she won't deny one if MC asks. They'll be short but comforting.
CHIYO KOGAWA: She's not much of a hugger but if MC really needs one, she'll oblige. Might be a bit awkward, but she means well.
AESOP SHARP: MC will have to be strategic. First, gain his trust. That's the hard part. Second, catch him in a good mood. Third, MC must ask ONLY when no one else is around. His affection is very private. Fourth, (optional step) liquid luck.
ABRAHAM RONEN: Favorite Uncle vibes. Playful bear hugs that crush ribs and pick MC up off their feet. Best hugs for when MC needs a laugh.
MIRABEL GARLICK: Very much a hugger. MC can hold her as long as they need to. Let all their worries and stress melt away in her genuine embrace.
MUDIWA ONAI: She gives the best Mom hugs MC could ever experience. She'll go so far as to hug MC in her lap and rock them like a child, even if MC is tall.
BAI HOWIN: If MC needs affection, she suggests they seek out mooncalves or puffskiens.
DINAH HECAT: She is more affectionate than she lets on. If MC is stressed and needs a hug, she offers one without prompting.
CUTHBERT BINNS: He's a ghost. Move along.
SATYAVATI SHAH: She's not an affectionate person. MC will get more warmth from a glacier.
PHINEAS NIGELLUS BLACK: If MC knows what's good for them, they won't touch him. Ever.
