I feel like I'm gonna combust.
James dies in fifth year.
What do his parents do? His father works in the DMLE and I have no idea if his mother has a job (can you tell me?). What is their course of action?
Are they going to sue the school for the loss of James or Snape personally? I feel like they have a pretty solid argument for sacking (punishing) dumbledore or sending Snape to Azkaban.
And I that which ever they choose, the would get easily.
Or do they have a big enough heart to forgive Snape, and Dumbledore? Ik Albus hasn't done much wrong, but if a dark curse has been made and used (killing a pureblood- even if it is a blood traitor), dumbledore will be blamed, or could be, right? And they (Potters) would have enough money and power to get their compensation, in whichever way they take it, wouldn't they?
I wonder about Sirius too, but I these are some, that, as far as I know, haven't been asked and it's intresting side for me. Like we know Sirius and lots quality from head to toe but all we know about his parents are that the are old, rich and loving. And that they have a big heart.
hello hello hello! can i just say,,,i love ur questions bc literally the same things go thru my mind lol it’s why i spend so long on worldbuilding (often the unnecessary kind too lol)
let’s take this one by one:
1. i…don’t know of flea was in the DMLE actually? 🤔 wasn’t he a potioneer? and no, i don’t think we have anything for effie but idk why, i like to think she’s a socialite with like. an enchanting business on the side? (v random ik lol but it’s fun) i’m also gonna plead the fifth on this one since i…might include it in the fic and i’ve got a few options i wanna go with there (depending on how i do the macro characterisation for the —are they ruthless, forgiving, more upset than angry etc etc)
2. definitely think they’ll take action against the school, tho, regardless of however they choose to deal w snape personally! they’re def the type to hold authorities responsible for their actions (and lack of) and i do think they’ll push for some outcome pretty hard. idk about getting dumbledore sacked bc,,,if he’s the only one who can keep the school safe during voldy’s rise… not sure that’ll happen.
3. i do err on the side of wealthy potters so i think they’ll have enough money for whichever route they take. i tend to think of them as like…new money types who’ve earned through inventing and travelling? so they earn a lot, and spend on fun things, and it’s a constant cycle. but they don’t have the kind of…historical prestige that the ‘old families’ do tho they enjoy a nice enough reputation.
i haven’t said a lot here, but i do think that a part of them will be diverted towards taking care of sirius as well, because i firmly believe they considered him a second son and they can see how much it’s affecting them and fhey’re the only other ones who get it, right, how devastating the loss of james potter can be. that being said, i find it very, very possible that they’ might ‘die of a broken heart’ and i don’t say that all that lightly. from what we get: james is a surprise child after years of trying to elderly parents. he enjoys a level of pampering and spoiling and unconditional adoration that’s far above the normal avg amount a child gets, imo, and i think after he was born, his parents poured everything of themselves into him. james was effie and flea’s entire world, and they never hesitated in showing it. i totally see them as the kind of overprotective, almost helicopter, parents who panic when their child gets even a scratch on their body—so for him to die? for them to bury their child they wished for so strongly and celebrated as much as they were able to? it’s the definition of heartbreaking. it’s so, so painful, and neither of them would be able to get out of the bed for days or even keep so much as a piece of toast down or do anything, really, for a while.
when they find out the news, effie lets out the most gut wrenching, grief-filled scream, falling to her knees. flea tries to hold onto her but he’s even weaker and both of them just. sink to the ground over their baby boy’s body. not one person had a dry eye around them. no one has seen such a level of shame on dumbledore or mcgonagall’s face before. it might be the first time snape realises the *magnitude* of his actions.

rant teehee 🤭
How are you so entitled that two people whispering to each other irks you to the point that you cannot eat your food.
and every time I say something that effects me in a negative way, you have to follow right after me.
a few days ago, I told dad that I felt sick.
and you just butt in and went “oh yeah, I’ve been feeling sick all day. I feel awful.”
and when I told you that I felt really bad about my body and that I felt way too overweight, you said “yeah, I feel like I’m so fat.”
like, I know you have never been taught differently because dad thinks that there is nothing he can do, but you do not need to be the main focus. Please, let me have my own problems without having to worry about comforting you.
I need you to not get angry the moment something doesn’t go your way or when someone says something you don’t like.
I need you to not blow up at me when I try to call you out on your behavior.
I need you to not scream at me to shut up and leave you alone when I try to talk about your behavior in a calm manner.
I know dad says you just don’t know how to process negative emotions very well, but I really need you to grow up and mature.
because there is only so much of your behavior I can take before I get agitated at you and then I get in trouble for “continuing the argument”
I don’t know how you have gotten away with this for so long. And I don’t understand why you continue to get away with it.
but please stop.
I cannot be around you for extended periods of time.
I feel so guilty for thinking like this.
I feel like I should give you the benefit of the doubt, but I cannot keep doing this to myself
I can’t keep pushing my frustration away because “you don’t know better” but I cannot do anything but bottle my emotions when it comes to you, because you will not allow me to express them.
you should be old enough to let me tell you that this is badly affecting me, but the slightest mention of anything negative that you have done and you yell at me like I’ve lost my mind and I’m suggesting something absurd.

So—
I spent $150 on chronicle.
Yes it was within my means. I made sure beforehand.
No, I don’t plan on doing this again (until maybe Dainsleif).
Yes, I now have Diluc. Also Diona.
I’ll tell you how it went.
So as soon as the banner dropped, I set my path for Diluc. I had about 25 wishes saved up and got some free ones from purchasing with stardust. No luck. I have never used the big crystal packs before so I decided to get the $50 one with the top up bonus. This put me near soft pity and I was able to get a couple more wishes from starglitter and got a 5 star.
It was Mona, my second 50/50 lost to Mona recently (I lost Nahida to Mona as well) and my first 5 star constellation ever. I haven’t built Mona yet but I do plan to eventually. I have about 8 characters waiting to be built and only so much xp to go around.
I was upset. So I waited a couple days and chipped away at it. I had a guarantee on Diluc now. I was at 6 pity. I have some other expenses I need to deal with and I get paid weekly and had covered groceries so I decided to get the spending over with instead of having to wait until the end of the patch.
So I bit the bullet and got the 99.99 crystal pack with top up. Had it not had the top up I wouldn’t have done it.
I did a 10 pull and got Diluc pull 1. So I was at 7 pity on my guarantee and got him. The next pull was Diona who I didn’t have yet and is good support in Ayaka teams. (Ayaka and Wanderer are my two built characters).
I still had about 75 pulls left and immediately went for WGS. I think I got a 5 star in like 2 ten pulls but it was skyward spine (my first five star polearm tbf)
A couple ten pulls later I got WGS.
Then I stopped and decided I should save for Arlechino. Then I looked at my crystal count and still had like 4k. I decided to buy Diluc’s skin.
I did some free starglitter pills on Itto’s banner and didn’t get anything. I decided to save the rest for either Nuevellete or Arle (I haven’t decided yet, I have a limited 5 star guarantee but I’m not at high pity) and called it a night on pulls.
So yeah, that was a wild ride lmao. I was able to get Diluc to level 60 right away and used the artifacts I pre farmed for him. Next priority is getting him to 80, final ascension, getting WGS as high as I can, and working on talents.
Anyway I’m just relieved it’s over. I’m never spending that much on a banner again.
