Lately I've been pondering alot on footwear in the wizarding/wixen world...

There's so much to tap into fashion wise...like what the hell does just "robes" even mean Terf-face McRowling????

And I feel like the fan base has done such a wonderful job to portray their own beautiful and unique designs and descriptions... but not so much on shoes 🤔

Like the most generic thing is for them to be walking around in muggle shoes or "loafers" or "dragonhide boots"....

Hell no. These mfs are walking around rocking THESE bad bois!!!

✨️S L I P P E R S✨️

At least for dress robes, formal wear, and those who are fun, fancy biatches on the daily......

That post about Dumbledore always thinking the worse of Tom no matter what job he is doing brings forth a hilarious image to my mind.

Dumbledore camping outside in the bushes, binoculars on, staring through a window at Tom as he works at like, Baskin Robbin’s or something

Dumbledore: This is all part of his EVIL master plan, I just know it.

Tom: *internally* the post-grad job market is shit.

Honestly, yes.

Just a reminder that Snape was probably the youngest professor at Hogwarts.

That being said.....

Snape picked the band for the Yuel Ball. He rolled his eyes so hard it actually hurt Professor Sprout when she suggested "a dandy little string quartet! The kids will love it!" Professor McGonagall sighed, "Then what do you suggest, Professor Snape."

"Maybe someone they like? Weird Sisters are popular. Get them."

"That's not in the budget," Albus dismissed before turning to the charms professor, "What about the school choir?"

One huffy potions master, a wand call, and a triumphant smirk with his boots kicked up, "Weird Sister's are playing. For free... Mostly."

They all prodded him for an explanation until Minerva caught Snape and the drummer snogging behind stage during the Ball.

so tired of everyone saying James Sirius would be just like his namesakes when he's literally an oldest child. he'd be the one dragging albus and lily by the ears back into their rooms before the professors find them out of bed.

(not saying he would get caught tho)

You all talk about Albus jealousy in fics but Scorpius is a possessive boi as well.

He didn't want Delphi to tag along because he was irritated by her flirting with Albus. The script was written as if he first declared that Delphi shouldn't come, the justification comes second. They could have found a way to make her not stand out but Scorpius was like no don't come either way. And Albus priority is Scorpius so there's no way he would say no to him. And I think that's a trope in their relationship later on. Scorpius understands that someone tries to get between them and discreetly pulls Albus away from them and Albus is like "ok, sure".

He was mad when he heard that Albus owled her not because Albus didn't owl him( he figured out Harry was the one to separate them ) but because he felt like this girl now could just snoop in and he could do nothing about that. It's like a homophobic dad split apart his son and his lover and the latter is wondering how many times this other girl is seeing his love interest. And the question " are you okay, red and sweaty at the same time" clearly meant " did you like it? Because it looks like it", because come on no-one can get hurt by a kiss on the cheek, it was meant to be accusatory. Scorpius appears naive and dorky on these subjects but in reality he might know much more about that stuff than Albus. By that time, he hasld already visualised him and Albus in several non platonic scenarios and he is also the first one to give a romantic hug ( I mean, he hugs him from steps below and rests his head on Albus heart? ) This hug suggests adoration and longing, I mean look at his smile, it screams " I love that man and want to cuddle with him".

Albus jealousy can serve in fics as comedic effect because he is impulsive, direct, funny and petty. But Scorpius jealousy is just sad and deep because the boi can pick up on the subtlest form of interest coming from another person for Albus. And a part of him will always fear that Albus Potter being conventionally more handsome and socially acceptable can find someone better even tho Albus proves him wrong every single day.

It's interesting to note that Albus got jealous when Scorpius showed interest in another person and Scorpius got jealous when another person showed Albus interest. Albus deep down fears that he might not be a good boyfriend to Scorpius and that might make the latter feel unfulfilled and unconsciously look for someone else. Scorpius is much more confident as a boyfriend ( and he is a faster learner when it comes to interpersonal and intimate practicalities compared to Albus ) and his biggest fear is that the other people that show interest in Albus might make him realise he settled for Scorpius when he could have so much more.

Either JKR didn't think through her writing or everyone knew that Sirius was innocent and they did nothing about it.

Like it was absolutely canon that Sirius and James were brothers, that James's mom literally took Sirius in as a teenager. Dumbledore and McGonagall both endured years of Sirius and James acting like complete fools at Hogwarts together.

And you're telling me NOBODY protested Sirius going to prison without a trial? Nobody was like, hmmm seems fishy. Maybe something else was going on here?

Which makes me think that either JKR doesn't care enough to explain it, or Dumbledore knew and didn't care. And with the way he treated Sirius in OotP, I truly think it's both.

[sassysadisticsarcasms]

Does anybody else think it's stupid that Harry named his secret little delinquent group Dumbledore's Army? I mean that gave him absolutely no deniability!

Correct me if Im wrong, but at least they had been calling themselves the D.A. in public. That gives them some room to deny the shit out of whatever allegations they're facing.

Marietta Edgecombe: It's called Dumbledore's Army, Prefessor Umbridge.

Neville: Actually professor, we're the Dog Appreciators. We all agree dogs are not appreciatated enough.

Luna: I thought we were studying to be Districy Attorneys?

Ron: I'd heard we were the Defence Association.

Gred and Forge: We both could of sworn we were a smaller branch of the wizard's Dental Association.

Ginny: Wasn't this Delinquent Anonymous?

Harry: We're -

Hermione: If you hadn't gathered enough already professor, we're the Dumbasses.

Either this or they could just out Karen Umbridge.

Or this...

Harry: Just wait till my father hears about this!

Umbridge: Your father is dead Harry.

Harry: Well excuse me, you looked like you'd be joining him soon.

Sometimes I forget that these kids would literally be famous. Like tabloid stories written about them every week and being stalked by the paparazzi famous.

I now imagine them all gathering round the lake every week to read about the new and exciting things they’re up to.

Rose: “Oh wow Dom you have been seen getting steamy with 4 whole boys this week”

Dom: “Oh my god I’m such a little slut please don’t tell my girlfriend!”

James: “Well Vic has threatened the life of several students who called her a bitch”

Vic: “It was one student and they didn’t just call me a bitch. Anyway you have been caught getting drunk in Hogsmede again”

James: “oh my god I was barely tipsy!!”

Roxanne: “this one’s hilarious, Albus Potter has been seen sneaking into broom closets with a certain blonde slytherin on numerous occasions”

Hugo: “HAHA that’s ridiculous”

Fred: “Albus and Scorpius imagine oh my god”

Molly: “they’re obsessed with a potter and a malfoy dating they just won’t accept it’ll never happen”

Albus: “haha yeah that’s insane literally crazy who would ever even think that…”

Everyone: “wait…”

[louvhoney]

imagine that the one who actually killed dorcas was dumbledore. because voldemort took everything from her but dumbledore never got evan, barty and regulus help knowing what was happening to them and he did nothing to protect marlene and the rest of kids, literally fucking teenagers, who fought for his case. so she went and confronted him about him, so he started seeing her as a threat. like my girl would have him begging her for mercy for all that shit he pulled off

[therealvinelle]

if dumbledore faked what was in the prophecy what's your headcanon about what it actually said?

(Relevant post.)

I don't believe he faked what's in the prophecy, you must have me mistaken for some other blog.

What's in the prophecy doesn't actually matter.

“The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches… born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies… and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not… and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives… the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies….”

First half is a "how to find the person of interest", which Voldemort apparently used to find Harry, second is cryptic and profound-sounding nonsense. Dumbledore has channel the energy of a thousand English literature classes to get any meaning from it, and even then he doesn't actually explain the lines in the prophecy, he says "I believe X has to happen, and the prophecy doesn't outright contradict that which means I'm right."

If Dumbledore wanted to fake a prophecy, he'd have made it a lot clearer and to the point: "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches, criteria criteria criteria, and he will destroy the Dark Lord's tethers to this world until he is mortal once more" would have been a good one, for instance, Harry could excitedly shout "That means horcruxes!" and Dumbledore could say "I believe so, yes."

That Dumbledore is instead out there saying "He came to your house first, that means he marked you as your equal, and either must die at the hand of the other, Harry, you see what that means? He must die at your hand." and hoping Harry won't ask what his parents thrice defying Tom meant nor what neither can live while the other survives meant or if perhaps the prophecy hasn't already been fulfilled, as Harry did vanquish Tom, in 1981, there's nothing in it to indicate it's still valid in 1997.

Dumbledore is right about one thing, which is that the prophecy is only relevant because Tom made it relevant, sadly he forgets that this means the prophecy... isn't relevant, nothing in it can guide Harry nor is it even relevant to Tom anymore since Tom will be trying to kill Harry anyway.

No need to lie about its contents.

i get that the blitz basically shapes your characterisation of tom, but the way jkr has dumbledore treat tom in canon makes it seem like... did she just not realise he was growing up during ww2? i just FEEL like she intended to make it seem like oh, he only wants to stay at hogwarts because he has no family at home, not because hes literally getting BOMBED 😭

The absence of the cultural impact of WWII in Harry Potter is weird and a constant mystery to me. It's not just Tom's backstory (being set in a period and from a place where this is very relevant) but the entire story for that matter.

Could be she just didn't want to include any of it/didn't want to get into it at all. Which is fair because this is a children's fantasy series that's deliberately set in the 1990's and not about the war (vs. Chronicles of Narnia where Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe is deliberately set on the premise of "children are sent out of London to mysterious countryside house they've never been to and are exploring" or Bed knobs and Broomsticks which has pretty much the same premise of "children sent away to mysterious household where woman turns out to be a witch")

Except that she then goes on to make very strong parallels between the Death Eaters/Muggle-born Registration act and the Nazis, Dumbledore and Churchill, etc.

So... it feels like she kind of forgot the whole part where Britain was under severe threat of invasion (army across the channel, submarines in the channel) as well as the bombing campaigns particularly against London and how much of the city was destroyed and many people died.

I haven't read any interviews, but this woman is awful with dates and history to begin with so... I'm left wondering if JKR either didn't know. Somehow. Or forgot. Somehow. Or got her dates wrong. Somehow.

The treatment of Tom Riddle definitely seems to be she intended just "oh he's a poor orphan who feels Hogwarts is his home and wants to stay because of that" to parallel with Harry who also wants to stay over the summer and is told no and not, well, de bombs. (Added to this that Dumbledore/JKR never tells us where Tom is sent during the war. Dumbledore implies Tom was just chilling at Wool's the whole time.)

What if Snape was a dad?

So, I'm not talking secretly Harry or Hermione's father. Draco is just his godson. Severus Snape is just a dad. A single dad at that.

He had a one night stand where the condom broke or he forgot protection charms. Maybe the sex was great, maybe it was forgettable, but either way that awkward conversation on what's next happens about 6 weeks later. Severus was always the type of man to do the work, so he wouldn't be any different when it came to his own child he was terrified of having.

And Baby comes faster than he thought possible, with diapers and bottles and all of the laundry spells. Honestly, his wand is getting tired and he needs to grade. But he loves his child more than he thought possible, keeping them close and safe and never hurt like Severus was. He would never abuse his little one. The other parent was out of the picture (died in the war, didn't want the baby, in Azkaban), so he does everything by himself and with the help of the most investigated and monitored (not that they know that) MUGGLE babysitter he could find.

Severus is the best dad too, makes good dinners and plays outside, reads bedtime stories, and always gives his child the love he never saw. He helps them with their homework and teaches them about magic and potions. Severus makes sure that all of their clothes fit, even if it's with a quick spell before he can get to the shop. He listens to all of the playground drama and attends all of the class parties and shows (With the help of a time turner of course). Snape also participates in the bake sale even though "The flyer was passed out last week and you didn't tell me why?" But he had so much fun rolling out cookies with the most precious person on the Earth.

Of course, Snape is strict when it comes to safety. He has given a few timeouts and a handful of groundings and extra chores, but he would never ever raise a hand (or belt or wand) to his baby. He wasn't his parents and refused to stoop to their level.

But the real kicker, no one knows. Well, until Hogwarts that is. Professor McGonagall chokes, checked her glasses, then reread the name on the list of first years when one ended in SNAPE. But up stepped a first year in new robes that looked undeniably like their father. The child eagerly waved to the professor who smiled and waved back, giving a big thumbs up (students swore it was a stroke). And was promptly sorted into Ravenclaw.

Severus enjoyed stealing from Minerva's scotch stash as Albus and her lectured him for HIDING A FULL CHILD FROM THEM!!! Snape did not apologize. Then he went to find his child and checked that they were comfortable and knew exactly where his rooms were where he had an extra bed added.

Imagine Albus or Severus annoying Minerva and she just silently makes direct eye contact and pushes something off their desks.

Grindeldore Headcanon #7

Albus and Gellert were able to feel each other with the blood pact, it didn't just kept them from fighting aginst but it also made them feel connected. And once it's broken, the look on their faces are the realization, of emptiness, of not being able to feel each other for the first time after 30 years...
