#Of Princes and Potions

[sparsilees]

here’s your not so gentle reminder harry’s not piteously pathetic at potions. here’s a refresher:

fifth year, he sat for his owls and scored an exceeds expectations. not an acceptable, or poor, or dreadful, or troll (an ee in owls most probably equals a >75 in gcse o’s during the 90s)

he didn’t duplicate hermione, shrink her, and sneak her into the exam hall to pluck answers off her brain. he didn’t scribble a cheat sheet a la fa mulan on his arm

fifth year he has yet to clap eyes on the half-blood prince’s notes

as always, he didn’t feel confident about his answers/abilities, but he bloody exceeded expectations

he got into newts potions, a class of only twelve students

so harry got an ee, ron got an ee, maybe everyone else got an oustanding. or maybe only half a dozen got outstanding, and the rest exceeds expectations.

it still means the entirety of hufflepuff sixth years aren’t promising potioneers except ernie macmillan. poor boy probably tutors the others in the common room. all of the slytherin sixth years, excluding four, are absolutely worse off than harry and ron at potions. ravenclaw sixth years are shamefully inadequate at potions too, aside from four students.

harry’s not a marvel at potions. he doesn’t enjoy potions. but he’s good at potions, he’s capable enough. he isn’t blowing up cauldrons every month, that’s seamus. he can differentiate the ingredients. he knows how to cut, dice, chop, and stir. the spirit of sixteen year old severus snape didn’t possess him via the pages to help him brew his elixirs and essences in slughorn’s class. harry deciphered snape’s spidery, crammed annotations and executed them perfectly.

i’m bloody tired of these rancid ‘harry sucks so bad at potions except when he’s got the prince or hermione’s help’ takes.

Even a prince has summer homework.

I am falling asleep drawing this but I was determined to sketch something today no matter what.

love the idea of the illegal pussy potion but more to the point the aftermath of max wearing a massive cloak for nine months and then suddenly a child arrives. and the rest of the castle is just like uh. where did that child come from. max and rico like ahaha funny story

LMFAO

yeah it's crazy the kid just. appeared.

jk lol. if I were to write that there would probably be a fairly public execution of whichever court member was insane enough to slip a highly illegal magical potion into max's drink. because yes the concept is funny but rico also becomes paranoid because what if it's changed something else and they don't know it?? or what if it's hurting max?? or what-

basically he gets really overbearing.

and of course the people are like "!!! that's terrible!!! .....royal babies....?"

peripeteia ~ chapter fifteen ・❥・

ao3

When sixteen year-old Tom Riddle is reborn from his diary after half a century of waiting, he has a clear plan in mind. No one knew the secrets of the castle and the art of mastering a charming persona as he did. However, in his endless hours of planning, he had never once accounted for her. Will soft eyes, an unexpected academic rivalry, and a summer at The Burrow change fate’s course, or will the world fall to the combined power of two Dark Lords?

Cravings for today: A fanfic about a professor at Hogwarts who secretly developed fondness for Severus. Years before the war, mc finds out that Snape is a death eater. Worried of the perils of her beloved’s shenanigans, she seeks audience with Voldemort in which she convinced him to make an unbreakable vow with her. The deal; She pledges her undying loyalty to him and does whatever he needs her to do, so long as Voldemort sends her to dangerous missions instead of Severus and promises not to harm him. All of these happens without the potion master knowing.

AaaAaaAaaa… I need this so bad rn I’m tempted to write it. 😭

Rayla: Runaan, he saved my life! Runaan: That doesn't mean anything! He's human he's probably playing tricks on you. Rayla: How could someone possibly fake jumping off the storm spire?! Runaan: Dark magic is a powerful thing, Rayla. You're not associating with that thing. End of discussion. [Later] Ethari: Oh look Runaan, it's that Earthblood elf I was talking about! Can we keep him? :D Runaan: Y-yes, of course darling...

Tw. Mentioned rape, misuse of love potion

Eileen used to have a wizard boyfriend, but he became darker than she could accept. She broke up with him. He played it cool and said they could still be friends. Eileen agreed.

Eileen was fascinated by Muggles, and her ex gave her some drinks from the Muggle world and asked her to hang out with him and have a drink there. She agreed. She apparated into the Muggle world, where she was confronted by two Muggles who attacked her. Tobias arrived and tried to fight them off, but he couldn't overpower them and lost consciousness.

Eileen came to her senses and used magic to fight off the two Muggles. While she was fighting, Tobias regained consciousness, so she stunned him and modified his memory. When he regained consciousness again, he believed he had saved her. He asked her for a drink, and she gave it to him.

However, the drink had been spiked with both a love potion and a lust potion. It made him infatuated with Eileen and overwhelmed with desire. Under the influence of the potion, he attacked her. As a result, Eileen became pregnant.

When her parents found out, they chased her out. She tried to find Tobias and asked him to take responsibility. By then, the effects of the potion had worn off, and Tobias remembered everything — but he didn’t realize he had committed a crime because of the potion. Overwhelmed with guilt, he agreed to marry her.

After the marriage, Tobias discovered that Eileen was a witch. From then on, the Snape family lived without trust. Tobias believed Eileen had used him, while Eileen could never overcome the trauma of being attacked by him — even though he had been under the effects of a potion at the time.

Eileen’s ex-boyfriend was Tom Riddle. He had wanted to have a child with Eileen so that the child could become his vessel when he grew old. Tom chose Eileen because she was a descendant of Salazar Slytherin’s sister.
