I would love to be able to wear opera gloves with such elegance.

8th March 1897. The bi-weekly newsletter bringing you the latest news and gossip at Hogwarts for witchcraft and wizardry written by Winona Rosewood - this is the entry for this month's @hp-12monthsofmagic challenge

CELEBRATING WITCH MONTH

This month of March we want to unofficially celebrate the wonderful and wickedly talented witches found within our own school of witchcraft and wizardry, so wizards take a step back while today I will dedicate this week's newsletter to several ladies that I believe deserve the utmost attention. Unfortunately, the small amount I can write is only a small part as they are complex and people should take the time to get to know them.

AN ENTREPRENEUR IN HER OWN RIGHT

This may be my bias as Victoria Summer @whatwouldvalerydo, my dearest and darling friend to place her first but it would be outrageous if I didn't. This sweet and fair Gryffindor has a business mind screw on top. Her perfumes are to die for and I have never smelled so heavenly. I could dedicate a while page to her but I must share it with others.

BRINGING THE FIRE TO HOWARTS

Ema McGiliguddy @kc-and-co entered Hogwarts with fire and style. Literally. This adventerous Slytherin has all eyes on her and certainly the Newspapers have been lying as she is far from the frail girl they make her out to be. I do watch her in anticipation for what may be next on her path of adventure.

A WITCH OF HER OWN MAKING

What goes on behind this inquisitive Ravenclaw's mind is anyone's best guess but Persephone Gould @cursebreakerfarrier is certainly multi talented. A prefect I would love to have and daring in her choice of past time endevours like fencing to name but one.

MORE THAN JUST A STYLE ICON

Despite my past article about her, Carolyn Nyberg @lifeofkaze I do find she certain qualities to be admired. While her beauty is so great that she makes the beautification potion envy there, she is so much more with mind enviable too.

THE ALCHEMIST'S GOLD

Though brief our interaction may be through Delilah Sweets, Violette Durand @cursed-herbalist it was made clear to me that she is going to go far. In spite of her agreeable nature, there is an ambition to create more paths for women in alchemy.

A NEW AND GORGEOUS LIONESS

Io Gordon @drinkyoursoupbitch, Head Girl and the latest addition to our wild Gryffindor brood. She is certainly welcomed with open arms, at the very least from me.

AN ASTRONOMICAL MIND

Now while I don’t have much to do with Héloïse Perrault @the-al-chemist, I heard much about her. This French witch is proving herself of wit and intellect certianly befitting of a Ravenclaw. Her starry mind will certainly bedazzle everyone at Hogwarts.

A SOPHISTICATED POTIONEER

Lastly, I present Adelia Selwyn @thatravenpuffwitch whom I have to admit that I deeply admire her skillful hands as all I can watch with awe and wonder how she can brew potions so perfectly.

Here's one lol for the crack ship. Cledwyn and my sweet Victoria 😋 ♥️

Very interesting!

Here's some headcanons:

-Cled and Victoria probably interacted in school when Victoria asked him for help in DADA.

-In spite of the obvious odd couple that they are, Victoria probably appreciates Cled's blunt attitude, she can always gauge him despite him being a bit prickly.

-Likewise, in his own way Cled finds Victoria wearing her heart on her sleeve endearing in regards to her sunny attitude.

-Reconnect after their school years when Victoria moves to London, and Cled just so happens to be working as a hit wizard. Fusses over him when he comes back hurt from taking his revenge on the Greybacks.

-After what must be the tenth lecture on keeping himself safe, and her letting slip she's going to go travelling, Cled offers to join her.

-If they got married, it would be one of convenience to keep up appearances but after a time Cled could be convinced to adopt and raise a kid. In spite of the reason (and potential angst), Cled does love Victoria but not the way he feels she should be loved, making him feel a bit guilty as he thinks he's holding her back.

George Banks and all he stands for will be saved. Maybe not in life, but in imagination. Because that's what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.

The Beginning of a Symphony - Chapter 23

A/N: Ethel comforts a dear friend.

OCs featured/mentioned: Selene Fraser @lifeofkaze, Victoria Summer @whatwouldvalerydo, Lottie Gallagher and Lysander Mercury @slytherindisaster, Oliver Gerard @kc-and-co

Warnings: mentions of toxic parenting, one borderline NSFW joke.

September 1896

It was the first morning of the new term, and over breakfast, the Gryffindor girls were bemoaning their new timetables.

“Oh, this is simply terrible!” Ethel sighed loudly. “Double Astronomy on a Friday evening, and classes on a Saturday? How and when are we supposed to enjoy our weekends?”

“And double Defence Against the Dark Arts on a Monday morning,” said Victoria. “At least we get it out of the way, I suppose.”

Across the table, Lottie pulled out her wand and conjured a small flame from the top of it. Slowly and deliberately, she touched the corner of the parchment detailing the new timetable to the flame, and raised her eyebrows as it set alight. Victoria laughed, and Ethel applauded. Selene, however, continued to stare at her timetable with her eyes narrowed and jaw clenched.

Ethel frowned at her dearest friend. How strange. Selene would usually have loved Lottie’s rebellious display. Thinking about it, her expression had been dark throughout the preceding conversation, and had seemed incredibly tense at the Sorting Ceremony the night before. Something must have vexed her, though what precisely, Ethel did not know.

The girls’ misery and Ethel’s contemplation were both cut short by the arrival of Oliver Gerard, the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain. He smiled jovially at Lottie and inclined his head at Victoria, before speaking directly to Ethel and Selene.

“So, I’ve been looking into tactics for the new Quidditch season,” he told them, “and I think it would be a good idea to add some new blood to the team. Have some more reserve players, adjust the squad each game according to which team we’ll be opposing.”

“That sounds thoroughly unnecessary, Oliver,” replied Ethel. “Our team is the strongest at Hogwarts.”

“The result of last year’s Quidditch final would suggest otherwise.”

“We only lost that game because of Lysander Mercury’s shameless cheating.”

“No, we lost because you two decided to start a riot on the pitch.”

“Because Lysander was cheating,” Ethel said, rolling her eyes. Oliver could be incredibly bone-headed at times. “So, you see, it was all his fault.”

Oliver glanced across the table at Victoria, who sighed and shook her head. Lottie was still burning her timetable and Selene was grinding her teeth and not saying a word.

“Be that as it may,” said Oliver, “I am not certain that I wish to have you playing when we are next up against Hufflepuff.”

“Excuse me?”

“Either of you. We cannot afford to risk having two players sent off halfway through a game again.”

“You cannot afford to risk having strangers play, either. Really, Oliver. I have been on this team since second year, and you’ll not find a Seeker as good as Selene even if you look for a hundred years, maybe more.”

“Perhaps not. I suppose we shall find out at the tryouts. I hope to see you both there.” His eyes drifted across the Great Hall, and he smiled at a Slytherin girl rising from her seat. “You’ll have to excuse me, ladies.”

“Is that Fanny Travers?” asked Victoria, her smile slipping from her face as she watched Oliver approach the other girl. “I thought that he was courting Hesione Hardcastle.”

“Oh no, Hesione turned down his advances before the summer,” Lottie replied. “He was heartbroken for a week or so, but he soon recovered, and now he’s simply mad for Fanny.”

Next to Ethel, Selene was silently seething. Victoria tilted her head to one side as she returned her gaze back to the table.

“Selene, are you quite alright?”

“Yes.”

“Are you certain? You seem awfully-”

“I said yes, did I not?” Selene snapped. She exhaled angrily and stood up from her seat. “I am going for a walk.”

Ethel, Victoria, and Lottie all watched as Selene stormed away from the table and out of the Great Hall.

“Whatever has made her so upset?”

“I don’t know,” said Ethel, already rising from her own seat. “But I am going to find out.”

She strode purposefully out of the Great Hall and out into the courtyard outside, where she ran down the cliff side steps to the shore of the Black Lake, where she knew Selene would be. As predicted, she found Selene sitting on a large stone, shoes discarded and bare feet kicking at the tiny pebbles on the ground.

“Selly, my dear,” said Ethel, sitting beside her on the rock. “Whatever is wrong?”

Selene let out a deep doleful sigh filled with frustration and misery.

“I was supposed to visit my grandparents for the last three weeks of the summer,” she said bitterly. “But I took a little ill the night before I was meant to go there. It was only a very slight head cold, but my parents said that I was far too unwell to travel to the highlands, and made me stay with them.”

Ethel scowled. Trust Selene’s dastardly parents to find an excuse to stop her from having any fun at all.

“That was frightfully unfair of them,” she told Selene. “Simply awful behaviour. After all, you are no bird, and no net ensnares you. You are a free human being with an independent will.” She smiled, hoping that Selene would understand her reference, but Selene still looked as miserable as ever. “Oh, but you must not fret, you are here now. They cannot curtail your fun here, and there shall be plenty of fun to have. Japes and high-jinks, and Quidditch-”

Selene scoffed. “There might not be.”

“What do you mean?”

“You heard Oliver. He is considering replacing me on the team.”

“He is not going to replace you, Selly. How could he? You’re the best Seeker there ever was,” Ethel assured her. “Let him hold his tryouts. He will see that there is no one who can fly like you.”

But Selene would not be so easily consoled.

“That’s the problem,” she said. “I have barely seen the sky all summer, let alone sat a broom. Meanwhile, there will be others who have spent the entirety of the holidays practising and will be simply waiting for this opportunity to take my place.”

“No. No, we shan’t let them. We will practise every morning and evening to make sure of it.” Ethel placed her hand into Selene’s and smiled. “All will be well, you shall see. We will both keep our positions on the Quidditch team, we will take back the Cup from Hufflepuff, and then in just two years we will leave Hogwarts and join the Chudley Cannons, and no one - not even your parents - will not be able to stop us, because we will be all grown up.”

This had been both girls’ dream for three years, and Ethel knew that the mere promise of achieving it would be enough to cheer Selene up. And she was right, for now Selene looked at her with her eyes wide, dewy, and hopeful.

“Do you really believe so, Effy?” she asked, interlacing her fingers with Ethel’s.

“I know so. My mind is made up, and you know that once my mind is made up about something, it shall come to pass eventually. I shall make sure of it, just you wait and see.”

The theory of blow magic - Herbology tea gossip - 3/9

Character mentioned here belongs to: @slytherindisaster

Warning: minor sexual references (nothing major)

Inside in one of the Herbology greenhouses Lottie was sitting on a chair, chatting with Victoria while passing her various utensils when asked for them “Can you believe it? I heard rumors about various pages appearing at school only to disappear and reappear in different locations, but I did not consider them true.”

“True” Victoria said leaning in to examine the petals of the freshly bloomed flower in front of her “but then again Selene and Ethel swore by it.”

“I still could not rest well with them loudly whispering late into the night.” She replied stifling yet another yawn “But what does this blow magic page have to do with Herbology?” peering closer at the small drawing, she squinted her eyes “Does this look like a plant to you?”

Casting her eyes on the page held, Victoria tilted her head “Not one I have seen. It looks like a very fuzzy tree. Something exotic?”

Looking again, Lottie huffed “This is ridiculous. I think we are just too tired to make sense of just one page. With the proper touch you shall charm even the most un-summonable ones. What does that even mean?”

“Perhaps it’s a spell for the perfect environment for plants or one to make plants grow?”

Chuckling, Lottie put down the paper “For the fuzzy tree?” Hearing the door to the greenhouse opening, both turned to see Angela coming inside carrying a box of bulbs “Perfect timing, Angela we require your help in deciphering this page from the Theory of Blow Magic.”

“I’m sorry?” she said placing the box on the table “Please don’t tell me I forgot to study for something.”

“No, no.” Lottie urged her closer, bringing her up to speed with everything happening and said around the school “Now, take a look at this.”

Taking the page in her hand, Angela’s brows drew together “A chant as old as time, a spell not for the faint. Best tested in your prime, for you are no saint. What spell is this? What is this figure depicted in the corner? A flute?”

“A flute?” Victoria came closer, as well as Lottie, their heads together as they watched Angela twist and turn the page “A blowing instrument might make more sense.”

“Does it though?” Lottie asked skeptically.

“What does seem to be bothering you young ladies?” all three jumped upon hearing professor Garlick, who took the page from Angela’s fingers, reading the text “Young minds are so curious. Please follow me.”

Angela and Lottie followed closely, professor Garlick turning to look at Angela “You too, come now.”

“Where are we going professor?” Victoria asked as they slowly made their way to her office.

“To have some tea and discuss like proper ladies.”

With all three young women inside her office and a steaming cup in front of each, professor Garlick gracefully sat down and smiled despite the girls stealing confused glances at each other “Are we in trouble?” Angela asked, feeling the need to pick at her nails.

“No, no, on the contrary I find it healthy to be curious about life especially since you are adults now and once the school year ends, many of you young butterflies will spread your wings and become women, go on to marry and have families of your own. While usually your own mothers should discuss these topics, I do know such words do not come easy for them. Therefor I believe it is best to tell you a bit about the birds and bees so to speak while also advising you on how to brew a certain potion.”

A collective groan followed as they had just finished a very difficult exam with their very strict potion professor “I believe we are versed in potion making. Professor Sharp…”

“Is a man.” Professor Garlick delicately cut Victoria off “And while he is a wonderful potion master, he has not taught you how to brew a contraceptive potion. So shall we begin?”

Lottie scrunched her nose “While useful may I ask why?”

“Because my dears” pointing at the drawing on the page “that is not a flute, but we will get to that.”

Here's one for the crack ship.Winona and Victoria ahahah, friends to lovers?

They would be a classic friends to lovers. Everyone around them know about theirs feelings for each other before they do. Softly and slowly over the years the feelings crept until they finally confessed.
