I still can’t believe this game can actually survive 5 years woヾ(●゜▽゜●)♡thank you HPHM for bringing Merula into my life.

2018/04/26 is also the first time I meet Merula.

And this year 2023/04/26 I also became a Twitch Partner When I drew this! It's just like Merula giving me a gift for our anniversary ヽ(o´∀`)ﾉ♪♬ Next year we'll be celebrating two things in one day!

Don't worry I'm still here loving Merula, I will post more drawings soon when I finish my Vtuber debut stuff." orz

I actually draw some little comic & ask on stream but just didn’t finish the translation yet. TuT too much things need to do.

Alanza, in a rare moment of anger: Isto é tudo culpa sua!

MC: I know, I know.

Penny: You speak Portuguese?

MC: No, I just know the phrase “this is all your fault” in every language.

[indigobackfire]

It's ridiculous how they get this right but Alanza actually looks like the girls that star in Brazilian soap operas

[redhairedgryffindor]

Another update

[missnight0wl]

More datamine thoughts: 

Ok, Charlie looks pretty great. Probably my favourite design next to Talbott. Also, at first, I thought that his necklace is the dragon scale we found in the “Egg Hunt SQ” in Y5. After all, we learnt from Fred and George in Y6 that Charlie still talks about it. Now that I look at it closely, it seems to be simply a dragon head, but I’m gonna assume Charlie made the necklace out of the scale anyway because you can’t stop me (and we know he’s a soft boy).

Alanza looks quite lovely, but I have to ask: what the hell is she even doing here? Like… Jam City, you lost your chance to properly use her character. Just let the poor girl out of this purgatory already!

And finally…

I suppose I don’t really have to say it, but once I unlock it, I’m never taking it off. (I probably will, but you know what I mean.)

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

hello Blair 👋 I saw you mentioned Alanza and I’m showing up bc despite jc completely fumbling her, I still like her

I think the two biggest issues is when she’s introduced and that the game does not know what to do with her. She should have been introduced before Rowan’s death. That way we get to know her as her own character instead of “Rowan’s replacement.”

Since she’d be the new student for the year, I’m pretty sure people would still suspect her of being the mole. My guess is that jc dropped her because so many people seem to dislike her. There’s a whole can of worms on how hphm handles its numerous characters. I will have to save that for another day.

Alanza was set to be an interesting character and I do wish we had learned more about her days at Castelobruxo. I’m ignoring my own numerous headcanons to flesh her out. Main things that stick out to me is her time surviving in the rainforest as a first year. She has this very cheerful demeanor but surely that must have had an impact on her eleven year old self. Then she’s supposed to be from a prominent Brazilian wizarding family. What are they like? How do people treat her as a member of an at least somewhat famous family? She seems to enjoy adventuring so of all the characters to join the vault hunt, she should’ve been included. Then the wiki says she was part of a band back at Castelobruxo (it also says she can play nine instruments which I do not remember.) What if we saw her bonding with the Weird Sisters over music?

Jumping into headcanon territory: I’ve headcanoned that Alanza’s upbeat demeanor contrasts with her parents’ more serious selves. When her grandmother was alive, she was able to mediate between Alanza and her parents. However after she died, things became more tense at home. It also didn’t help that their fame meant Alanza was constantly being compared to her family. She decided to become an exchange student partly to get a fresh start where people will judge her as her own person and also bc like I mentioned earlier, she likes an adventure.

to be nice to hphm, Alanza’s design is my favorite from this game. I don’t have some deep analysis on it; I just think she’s cute. Plus I like the mole she has.

Oh, I like her too. She just...feels like a one-off, like a character introduced in a TLSQ who then slides into the background.

Instead, like you talked about, the story drops everything to introduce her - right after Rowan dies and The Circle is formed, no less - and not long before The Mole is first mentioned. They had to know, right? The writers had to realize the circumstances surrounding Alanza were suspicious, so I think she was a deliberate red herring. Especially giving her a loose connection to Rakepick. But she's a red herring who never gets herring'd, because the characters never outright suspect her.

I didn't even realize she was widely disliked, is that true? Because I liked her just fine. I was suspicious of her past and her motives, and it wasn't lost on me how the story tried to insert her into a "Rowan" like role (which it later did more directly with Corey) but hey, that wasn't exactly her fault, and assuming she was totally genuine in her nature, then she was a good person, right?

The Rain Forest Incident is so telling. I've always had the headcanon that Rakepick rescued her from that bit of trouble. Because despite what Alanza says, despite what the writers might want us to believe, there is no way she could have known Rakepick smelled like cinnamon without having gotten close to her. MC didn't even know that.

As far as her time in Castelobruxo, I'm getting...Weasley twin vibes. Popular with the students, nightmare for the staff. If she comes from a prominent family, that's already easy mode for popularity like it was for Draco. Not to mention she's in a band and is apparently multi-faceted? Nah, this girl had friends. But then again, none of them write to her when she moves out to the U.K, so maybe it was all just surface level? Sad to say...

Oh man. What you're describing is...so familiar. It reminds me a lot of Tulip and her situation with her own family, right down to having grandparents who mediate. The idea that Alanza joined the exchange program to get away from - at least part of - her family is devastating, but it makes sense. She chose to remain at Hogwarts for another year, and neglected to mention why. But she would have been 17 by that point, so, it would be her choice, right?

The Casteobruxo robes look superb, they really do. They're one of the few costumes that genuinely look like something people in this world would wear, because yes I'm still hung up on how none of them wear robes in the movies. As far as her face goes, she is adorable, that's for sure!

Artemis Hexley and the Circle of Khanna

Chapter 18: Infinite, Unbroken, Forever

A/N: A circle of friends is formed. Warnings: discussions of grief and loss, naughty acronyms. Special mentions to @thatravenpuffwitch @lifeofkaze @that-scouse-wizard @samshogwarts and @cursebreakerfarrier for helping to come up with ideas for the gang’s patronuses.

The Easter holidays had arrived, but neither Artemis nor any of her friends were returning home for the break. Now that the final Cursed Vault had become active once more, they were planning on using the holidays to prepare themselves to break the curse. Artemis watched the Thestrals pull the carriages away towards Hogsmeade station before walking up to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, which had been left vacant, the professor having left the castle for the holidays.

It was here that her friends met, all of them arriving one by one, with the exception of Chiara, who had volunteered to take extra shifts in the Hospital Wing until Madam Buckthorn, the Matron of St Mungo’s Hospital, found a replacement for Madam Pomfrey. 

Once everyone else had gathered, Tulip summoned over a blackboard and piece of chalk and stood behind Artemis, who was facing the rest of the group. 

“What’s the chalk for?” Artemis asked, looking back at her over her shoulder.

“It’s a meeting. I’m taking minutes,” Tulip said, already drawing a crude caricature of a wizard in the bottom left corner of the board. “It’s a visual aid for when we are brainstorming ideas.”

“Right. What do we need to brainstorm, exactly?”

“You know, what we want to achieve, how we’re going to achieve it.  What we’re going to call ourselves.”

“Won’t we just call each other by our names?”

“Not each other, I mean as a group,” Tulip looked up from her drawing, which was looking more and more Snape-like by the second. “What’s the point in forming a secret society if we don’t even get a name?”

“I mean, this isn’t really a secret society,” Artemis said, and Tulip frowned.

“Well, it should be. We’re up against this cabal, and they’re a secret society. We’re just making things even.”

Artemis considered it for a moment, before turning to the others. “Fine. Anyone got any bright ideas for a name?”

“Oh,” Penny raised her hand. “How about the Curse Club?”

“Sounds like we are making curses, not breaking them,” muttered Merula. “Besides, it’s hardly very original, is it?”

“Well, have you got any better ideas?”

“How about Shut Up Haywood? How is that for an idea?”

“Merula, be nice. We are here to break curses together, not fight each other,” Artemis told her. She called over her shoulder to Tulip. “Don’t write that one down.”

“Too late, I already have.”

“Never mind then,” Artemis shrugged apologetically at Penny. “Any advances on Curse Club? Yes, Ismelda?”

“Death to Rakepick.” 

“Oh. Um, well, that’s… original, I guess.”

“I’ve got it,” said Tonks. “What about Together In Total Solidarity?”

Behind Artemis, Tulip began to snigger, and Artemis turned to look at what she was doing. Seeing the large capital letters that had been written on the board, Artemis rolled her eyes.

“Tonks! Take this seriously.”

“That could work, too. Taking It Totally Seriously,” Tonks grinned, and Artemis scowled at her. “Or, how about Witches Against Nasty-”

“Can anyone else think of something? Anything?”

“I’ve got an idea,” said Ben, frowning deeply. “I don’t think it’s that good, though.”

“I’m sure it won’t be worse than what we have already.”

“Okay. Well, what about the Circle of Khanna?”

The room fell quiet, not even the sound of Tulip’s chalk on the blackboard interrupting the hush. 

“The Circle of Khanna,” Merula repeated slowly, as if she were tasting the words as she spoke them. “You know, I actually don’t hate it.”

“I like that mentions Rowan,” said Badeea, as Tulip started to write on the board once more. “And I like the idea of a circle. A perfect circle is infinite, unbroken, forever…”

“Like friendship should be,” whispered Penny, her eyes filling with tears. Artemis gave Charlie in the seat next to Penny a pointed look, and he patted her on the forearm, somewhat awkwardly.

“All in favour of the Circle of Khanna, raise your hand.”

Fifteen hands, including Artemis’ own, rose into the air. Only one remained on a desk.

“I just think we could make it a little better,” said Tonks.

“We are not adding another word that begins with a C,” Artemis told her, and Tonks sighed loudly before raising her own hand. Artemis turned to Tulip, who was already underlining the name Circle of Khanna on the board. “So that’s that settled. We are now the Circle of Khanna.” 

Artemis found herself smiling at the name as she spoke it. Somehow, it made it feel like Rowan was still included, and it reminded her who they were there for.

“Rowan was always telling me how I needed to think about things before I did them, to be ready and not go charging straight into stuff. And she always helped me with that. Whenever I did anything dangerous, she always used to say that she didn’t like it, but she was going to make sure whatever it was I was doing, it would be done properly,” she told them, now smiling fondly at the memory of Rowan’s cross and anxious face. “I think she would be tutting at us for going back to the Vaults, but at least if we are going to do it, we can do it in a way she would have been happy with. She had goals, and she had plans on how she was going to achieve them. She worked hard, she prepared and researched and-”

“So, what are our goals, Hexley?” Merula interrupted her.

“Well, that’s not just up to me, is it? What do you lot all want?” When no one said anything, Artemis sighed. “Fine, I’ll go first. I want to make sure that Rowan’s death wasn’t in vain, and I want to break the statue curse.”

“I want to break all the curses for good,” said Ben.

“I want us to get there before Rakepick and the rest of the Cabal does.” 

“Maybe we could find out some more about the Cabal, that might help, too.”

“I want to get revenge on Rakepick for what she did to Rowan,” Merula told them, and Ismelda nodded emphatically in agreement.

Behind Artemis, Tulip called out, “I’m going to write ‘justice’ rather than ‘revenge’. Revenge sounds… kind of murder-y.”

“And?” Merula shrugged.

“Well, personally, I would just like to make sure that we are all safe,” said Penny. “Us and the rest of the school. I know that dealing with the Cursed Vaults and dealing with Rakepick and the Cabal is important, but we don’t know how long that will take. We need to learn how to defend ourselves.”

“And we need to learn how to fight properly, too,” Diego nodded, and Artemis had to stop herself from scowling at him. “Defence is all well and good, but when you’re up against an opponent like Rakepick… I can teach you all to duel, if you like.”

“That won’t be necessary,” Artemis told him, rolling her eyes.

“Well, you’ll need someone to be an instructor.”

“Yeah, but we already have someone to do that. Someone who actually knows what they’re doing when it comes to duelling and breaking curses.”

“Oh, really? Are you going to be teaching us all this, then?”

“No. He is.”

Artemis looked beyond Diego to the back of the classroom, to the door that led out into the corridor. She smiled as she made eye contact with the wizard leaning against the doorframe, dressed in a dark collared shirt and dragonhide boots, with long red hair pulled back into a ponytail. As the group turned to look at him, a smirk began to play on his handsome face.

“Okay, gang,” said Bill Weasley, stepping into the classroom and rolling up his sleeves. “Let’s get to work, shall we?”

Bill had agreed to spend each and every afternoon over the Easter holidays helping Artemis and her friends; teaching them about the basics of curse-breaking, practising duelling and defensive spells, and helping them to plan their approach to dealing with the final Cursed Vault.

“Thanks again for this,” Artemis told him as she helped him to pack away the training dummies a few days later. “You really didn’t have to, I know it’s meant to be your holiday as well as ours.”

“Technically, I’m on study leave,” Bill replied. “If anything, this is good revision for me.”

“I can’t believe you still have to study and take exams. I’d have thought that you would just be allowed to start straight away.”

“Artemis, have you learnt nothing in all these years? You have to practise and prepare for this kind of stuff. That’s the whole point of me being here, isn’t it?”

“I guess,” Artemis shrugged. “I’m just glad that you’re here.”

“I was hardly going to leave you in the lurch after what happened to Rowan. Especially now that you’re planning on returning to the final Vault. Wouldn’t want to miss that.”

“So, you’ll help break the curse?” 

“Yeah, of course. As good as you all are, I think having a Curse-Breaker with you - a professional Curse-Breaker - would be beneficial. Just means we have to get you all ready before I go off on placement again,” grinning, Bill nudge Artemis with his elbow. “This is all provided that you haven’t outgrown me now that you’re almost of age yourself.”

“I could never outgrow you.”

“That is true, you could barely outgrow an elf.”

Artemis pushed Bill and he laughed, retaliating by putting her in a headlock and ruffling her hair as she attempted to kick him in the shin. Eventually, he let her go, still laughing as he summoned his jacket from the back of a chair.

“I’d better be getting back to my actual studying,” he told Artemis. As he got to the door, he turned back and his smile became less mocking and more kind. “It’s good to have you back, little one.”

Artemis wrinkled her nose. “I never went anywhere.”

“You know what I mean. You’re looking more like yourself again.”

“Am I?”

“Yeah. Maybe not quite the same as you used to, but a bloody sight better than you did the last time I saw you. See you tomorrow.”

“Yeah. See you tomorrow.”

Barely had Bill left the classroom before there was a quiet knock on the doorframe. Artemis turned to see who was there, and found herself looking straight at Chiara Lobosca. 

“I’m sorry, Chiara. We’ve already finished for the day,” she told her. “Really, it’s a shame. It would have been nice to have had you here.”

“Thank you. I’m sorry I haven’t been at any of the meetings so far.”

That was true. The Circle of Khanna had been meeting daily for four days now, and Chiara had yet to attend a single meeting; even at the first one, which Artemis had expected her to arrive late for, she had been absent for the entire duration.

“That’s okay. I know you’re helping out in the Hospital Wing, and that you must be really busy. I just meant that everyone would have liked it if you had been able to join in.”

“This is actually why I came to talk to you,” Chiara said, closing the door behind her. “I don’t think they would.”

“What do you mean? Of course they would!”

“No, Artemis, they wouldn’t. Not if they knew… Well, you know,” Chiara pursed her lips, her eyes drifting across the classroom to a poster about lycanthropy that had been stuck to one of the walls. 

“I’m sure none of them would mind,” Artemis said, knowing as soon as she said the words that they might not be true. Penny still was terrified of werewolves, and she did not know how Penny would react to Chiara’s secret. “And you don’t have to tell them.”

“I feel guilty not telling them, though. It’s like you said last week when you told us all about the Cursed Vaults and what happened to Rowan. People deserve to know the truth. How can I join this group you’ve put together, be friends with them, and let them trust me, when deep down I know that I’m lying to them?”

“Okay,” Artemis nodded. “So, why don’t you tell them, and then if they don’t-”

“It’s not that simple, though, is it?” Said Chiara, smiling sadly. “You know how much stigma there is about this. Remember Professor Lee? He was in charge of the Werewolf Capture Unit. There’s a whole unit in the Ministry of Magic that is dedicated to capturing people like me, like we’re…” Chiara shook her head. “You know why I have a room to myself.”

“So that you can take your potions in peace. And so you can’t accidentally hurt someone when you transform.”

“I wish. It’s so that no one has to know that I’m a werewolf. There are people who would try and get me kicked out of school if they found out the truth about me.”

“Well, they’re stupid and wrong,” Artemis said. “And besides, they’d never get their way.”

“They might. People like me lose their jobs all the time when their employers find out about them being werewolves. That’s how Lupin ended up in Hogsmeade, he had just been fired and he was desperate,” Chiara’s pale face was flushed with anguish. “I want to be a Healer, Artemis. It’s what I’m passionate about and it’s what I am good at. But if it becomes common knowledge that I’m… what I am…”

“Then you might not be able to be a Healer?”

“No one is going to want a werewolf looking after them when they are sick.”

“Well, they should,” said Artemis. Chiara shook her head. “I mean it. You’re a brilliant Healer.”

“I’m not a Healer, Healers go through training and-”

“Yeah, and you’re brilliant even without that. When I was in the Hospital Wing before Christmas… You were the only thing that wasn’t completely horrible about it, actually. I can’t imagine anyone being a better Healer than you, not ever.”

Chiara closed her eyes, a tear running down her cheek. Artemis swallowed.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you.”

“You didn’t,” Chiara rubbed a tear away. “I’m just… I wish I didn’t have to go through life lying to everyone about who I am.”

“You don’t.”

“Not everyone is accepting, Artemis.”

“I know, but that’s not what I mean,” Artemis told her. “I just mean that… Yes, you’re a werewolf, but that isn’t who you are. It’s what you are, and even then it’s only a part of what you are, like… I don’t know, how many brothers and sisters you have, or whether you’re allergic to anything. It’s not lying to not tell people about that, why would it be lying not to tell them about this, either?” When Chiara didn’t reply, Artemis sighed, “You said last week that you regretted not spending time with Rowan when she was alive, not getting to know her because you were too busy putting a distance between yourself and people. If you keep doing that, you’re only going to regret missing out on spending time with more people who would probably really like you, if you’d only give them a chance to get to know you - actually you the person, not a werewolf - because they would.”

“You really think so?”

“I know so,” said Artemis, smiling mischievously. “Especially Jae Kim.”

“Jae Kim?”

“Yeah. You must have seen him watching you dance at the Valentine’s Day ball.”

“As if,” Chiara laughed, despite still looking tearful. “You really were tipsy that evening.”

“Tipsy, but not blind,” Artemis said, with a little giggle. “Come on. Join us. You know you want to.”

Chiara breathed. “Are you sure?”

“Positive. I lost one of my oldest friends this year. I’m not going to lose a new one as well.”

Artemis held out her arms, and Chiara hesitated before hugging her. At first she was tense, as if she were not used to being hugged, but then she exhaled, and her body seemed to relax.

“Artemis,” she said, lifting her chin from Artemis’ shoulder.

“Hm?”

“Does that blackboard really say what I think it says?”

“Yeah. Don’t ask.”

With Chiara Lobosca now officially a member, the Circle of Khanna was complete. Or at least, Artemis had assumed it to be so until one afternoon near the end of the Easter holidays, when there was another newcomer in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.

“Artemis will say that it’s okay,” said Beatrice Haywood, looking expectantly at Artemis as she walked into the classroom. 

“Uh, say what is okay?”

“Beatrice wants to join the Circle of Khanna,” Bill explained, looking between Beatrice and Penny, whose lips were pursed and arms crossed.

“But she is too young!” Penny said tersely.

“No, I’m not. You were all breaking curses when you were in second year.”

Artemis looked at Penny. “I mean, she has a point.”

“That was before we understood how dangerous this was,” Penny sighed, and Artemis looked between her and Beatrice. “Artemis, you can’t be considering this. She is twelve!” 

“And a half,” added Beatrice. Beside her, Bill chuckled.

“I’ve got an idea,” he said, sitting on the desk behind him so that he no longer towered over the small girl. “Beatrice, your sister is right. You can’t join the group. This is too dangerous for you to get involved in.”

“But-”

“But,” Bill raised his eyebrows and smiled, “we are also learning some self defence spells. Maybe you could join in for that bit. You could be an… associate member.”

“What does that mean?”

“Well, it’s like a guest. A special guest who is invited to join in for special occasions, even though they aren’t usually involved. How about that?”

Beatrice frowned before nodding her head and going to sit on a desk near Jae Kim. Penny watched her before looking across at Bill.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Artemis tapped her foot through the pause in which neither Bill nor Penny spoke. When she could bear the awkwardness no longer, she cleared her throat.

“So…”

“Yes. Sorry.” Bill jumped up onto his feet as Penny stepped backwards and away from him. He raised his voice so that everyone could hear him, “Artemis, do we have any updates on the Cursed Vault?”

“Yeah, I think so,” Artemis nodded. “So, Talbott was able to get a bird’s eye view… I mean, a view from above the lake.” As she corrected herself, she saw Talbott sigh quietly and roll his eyes. “Anyway, the water is really still in the middle where the water is deepest. It’s only in the shallows where the Grindylows are that things look kind of angry.”

“Does that mean that the Vault isn’t in the very deep part of the lake, or just that only the Grindylows are affected by it?”

“It doesn’t mean either of those things,” said Talbott quietly. “They don’t call it the Black Lake for nothing. I only saw the surface, I don’t know what is going on underneath.”

“So we know nothing new, then?” asked Merula, her eyebrows raised.

“Not exactly,” Talbott looked out of the window. “Dumbledore’s banned the dementors from going near the areas where students are, but there’s still the odd one around. They’re spread out around the perimeters of the grounds. There are two or three on the other side of the lake.”

“That’s concerning,” said Bill, frowning deeply. “We don’t want to attract their attention.”

Artemis shrugged. “They’re all the way over on the other side of the lake. What are they going to do? Swim to the Vault to stop us?”

“No, but if they think that what we are doing is suspicious, they might well break Dumbledore’s rules. I’m sure they’d be allowed on the grounds properly if there was a genuine reason for them to be there. We don’t want to give them that reason.”

“So, what do you think we should do?”

“I think we should learn to protect ourselves against them, just in case,” Bill nodded his head. “Right, chaps. Who wants to learn how to conjure a Patronus?”

He raised his wand and called out the incantation, and conjured a large silvery white creature, one with large paws, a long tail, and a thick mane of fur. 

“It’s a lion!” Bea Haywood’s eyes lit up at the sight of it. “Are we all going to get one?”

“Hopefully, but they won’t all be lions. And they’re not easy, so some of you might not be able to make actual animals, but let’s give it a go.”

Bill enlisted the help of Tonks to help teach the group the Patronus charm, and soon the Circle of Khanna were having the best meeting they had ever had, surrounded by a menagerie of silvery-white animals: Bill’s lion, Tonks’ jack rabbit, Merula’s blackbird, Jae’s fox, and Tulip’s rat. 

“They’re rather delightful, aren’t they?” Penny giggled, watching her dolphin patronus swim through the air around her, spinning and frolicking as it went. “I never thought that anything to do with Defence Against the Dark Arts could be so pretty!”

Artemis smiled, and looked around the room at the other patronuses. A bear was bumbling around Barnaby, a peacock strutting next to Andre, a bushbaby curled up close around Liz Tuttle’s neck, and a dove flitting though the air above Chiara’s head. Even little Bea Haywood had managed to conjure the tiniest of patronuses, a bumblebee that only managed to buzz around for a second before disappearing as Beatrice gasped at it. 

But when Artemis attempted to conjure her own patronus, she found herself unable to do so. Instead of her familiar lithe cheetah, the only patronus she could produce was a silver shield that shimmered in the air in front of her before disappearing. It was an improvement on the last time she had attempted the spell, the same night that she had left the mirror in the Room of Requirement, but she had not expected to find casting the spell so difficult even now. 

Disappointed in herself and her feeble excuse for a patronus, she lowered her wand. As she did, Badeea raised her own and conjured yet another silver-white animal, a giraffe that moved through the classroom slowly and gracefully, its doe-like eyes watchful and intelligent-looking. Artemis stared at the giraffe patronus for a minute, before slipping out into the corridor to sit on the staircase alone, listening to the distant gasps and giggles of her friends from a distance.

“Wotcher,” said a voice, and Artemis turned around to see Tonks standing behind her, her hair the exact same shade of silver as the patronuses themselves. Artemis shuffled sideways, and Tonks sat beside her on the step. “What’s up?”

“Nothing, really,” Artemis told her, and Tonks raised one eyebrow in response. “I just couldn’t conjure a patronus, that’s all.”

“But you did, I watched you do it.”

“Not a proper one, though.”

“Oh, yeah,” Tonks nodded. “But you know, corporeal patronuses - you know, ones with an animal form - are really hard to produce. Loads of witches and wizards can’t do it, not everyone in there has managed it, even. Charlie is finding it really tricky, and so are Ben, Alanza, Talbott, Ismelda, Diego…”

“I know, but this is the first time they’ve tried. I used to be able to do it properly. I had a cheetah. I don’t know why I don’t anymore, why I can’t do it like I used to,” Artemis brought her legs into her chest and rested her chin on her knees. “It feels like I’m kind of broken.”

“Nah, you’re not. It’s actually really normal for this kind of thing to happen.”

“It is?”

“Oh, yeah. Big changes and shocks and stuff can massively affect patronuses. Some people who can produce them stop being able to, and some people who couldn’t before suddenly find that they can.”

“So, what you’re saying is that I’ll never be able to cast a patronus ever again?” Artemis frowned. That didn’t make her feel better at all.

“That’s not what I said at all,” Tonks shook her head. “I mean, you might not, but that’s not the end of the world. It might be that you end up having a completely new patronus.”

“As in a different animal?”

“Yeah. They can change, sometimes.”

Artemis blinked. “But I don’t want it to change. I like my cheetah.”

“I know you do,” Tonks shrugged, then tilted her head. “Hey. Did you ever choose a name for it?”

“My patronus? No,” Artemis sighed. “And now it’s either gone for good or it’s going to be completely new patronus, so I never will.”

“You don’t know that for sure.”

“But-”

“Ugh, I’m so bad at this kind of thing,” muttered Tonks. “Look, I’m not going to lie to you. You might not ever get your cheetah patronus back, but it’s just a patronus. There are worse things to lose than that.” She winced slightly, and added, “Sorry.”

“It’s fine. I know what you mean. And you’re right, we know that more than anyone,” Artemis smiled sadly. “I just feel like part of me is missing without Rowan here, and I don’t know how much of that is me missing her, and how much is… I know that what happened has changed everything, and it’s changed me, too, but I’d just like to know that I’ve still got most of me left as it was.”

Tonks said nothing for almost a minute. When she finally spoke, she said:

“Okay, so a hag, a goblin, and a house elf walk into a bar.”

Artemis stared at her blankly. “What?”

“I dunno. You’re sad, so I thought you might like to hear a joke to cheer you up. I told you I’m no good at this,” Tonks sighed, before raising a single eyebrow at Artemis. “You sure you still don’t want that snog?”

In spite of everything, Artemis laughed, and so did Tonks.

“Come on,” she said, standing up and pulling Artemis to her feet. “You’re never going to know if you’ll be able to get your cheetah back if you don’t even try.”

Still grinning, Artemis nodded and followed Tonks back into the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, still illuminated by the soft silver glow of her friends’ patronus charms.

Elanza Alves cosplay

I've made the castelobruxo uniform a while ago, so I thought it would be fun to share some pictures of it:

🍃🇧🇷🌳

[abianeverdecides]

So my social batteries are low right now and instead of replying to my messages and asks (which I will soon I PROMISE WHEN I'M NO LONGER TIRED AND SICK AS HELL I WILL 😭) I will show y'all the currently most memorable moments of the carnival for me in this fucking game

In the POV of a year 3 Abia EMPHASIS ON THE YEAR 3 YOU'LL SEE WHY LATER

⚠️ 😩 WARNING THIS IS NOT SPOILER FREEEEEE YEAR 6 SPOILERS AHEAD 😩⚠️

Yes I know Year 6 stuff even though I didn't reach there in game f*ck Google and it not being spoiler free ALL I SEARCHED UP WAS FANART-

Help

First thing I need to knock out of the way is wtf did I make Abia wear, this is hardly suitable attire for a thirteen-to-twelve year old in a school carnival/festival/whatever-the-fuck ⚰

Much better I almost dressed her up as Jesus

Is this Andre cause wtf is he doing? 💀

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky-

PENNY IN GRYFFINDOR COLORS YESSS QUEEN ILY 😌😌💖💖💖

Aww there are cruppiesss

But why does the oldest one look like it wants to murder them?

RAKEPICK WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE I'M NOT READY FOR THIS YET, LEAVEEEE

THE GUYS FROM BEAUXBATONS ARE BACK OMGOMG

Aurélie isn't in the picture unless I-forgot-his-name decides to photobomb please remind me of his name I feel like an idiot 💀

Noo poor Leviosa Kid is all alone

UHHH WHY IS ALANZA HERE? DOESN'T SHE SHOW UP AT YEAR 6?? AND AFTER ROWAN PERISHES

SHE'S TALKING TO HER TOO

--------------------------

Have a nice day, watch me disappear again 🦆

I don't think I'm okay I'll probably forget I even posted this by tomorrow damn FEVERSS 💀💀💀

[elizabethhm1967]

There's a new student at Hogwarts. She's been fun and its a nice break from the pain of Rowan

Nevermind pain is everywhere.

[avidrawsthings]

since the game pretty much forgot about Alanza does she have a bigger role in your au or is she not involved at all?

As I had just finished planning out Year 6 in the reboot, she has a larger supporting role and more involvement. She still doesn't join the ARC but does provide help whenever she can. There's no Castelobruxo in this setting, but rather multiple Brazillian magical schools simply because the country alone is massive. Alanza instead attends the magical equivalent of a visual and performing arts school, and her major would be Music.

As Vytarian Magic is also practiced in her town, she's a Mage herself and has Symphony Magic, Flora Magic, and Fauna Magic. At Hogwarts, she's given a private room in Hufflepuff since it reminded her of home the most. Whenever she's not hanging with Reina and the group, she hangs out with the Weird Sisters to the point she's considered an honorary fourth member.

Alanza, to MC: This is not yours to fix alone. You act like you're all alone out there in the world, but you're not. You're not alone.
