Tom riddle/Hagrid

cheers, anon!

regrettably... i am going... hot.

voldemort canonically loves a big snake and a long wand, so he's clearly a size queen. hagrid is probably the only man on earth who could please him in this regard...

similarly, the voldemort of chamber of secrets has a great time yapping about hagrid to harry in a way which definitely suggests he's interested... how do you know he was always sneaking off to the forest to wrestle trolls, baby? were you - perhaps - watching?

and - of course - the teenage voldemort is the only person we meet in canon who habitually refers to hagrid by his first name. this is all the evidence we need that he's looking to get to know him on a more... intimate level. although i can see that the whole "framing him for manslaughter" thing doesn't help this really go anywhere.

but the main reason i back this is because it gives me a chance to drop the link to my favourite deranged fan theory of all time... that hagrid is canonically a death eater.

New Theory: Buckbeak attacked Malfoy because he sensed that one day, he would become a ferret.

people online be like" albus severus is such a terrible name!" and then proceed to suggest an even worse name

LITERALLY bro i remember being upset about the name too, but all i had to do was glance at the alternative suggestions and i was at peace again 😭

[remus-poopin]

i humbly request a flonks playlist and maybe also a teatime at hagrid’s hut playlist (from superfallingstars)

Omg sorry this took so long

Fmk: Dumbledore, Flitwick, Hagrid

(Guess who I am ~)

you are- annoying me (either siv or ari im guessing)

fuck hagrid (i mean hear me out, he's most probably hung. also i think he's service top material and he'll be very respectful and attentive)

marry dumbledore (im asuming he's rich, and take his money after his death)

im so sorry flitwick but unfortunately im gonna have to kill you. no hard feelings i just dont have any use for you tiny man.

Kinglsey patronus is canonically a Lynx! Loving to hear about your headcanons. How about Hagird and Remus?

oh i didn't remember that but it's interesting because i chose lynx to be alice's patronus! i think i'll stick to it since i'm also inspired by his fight style to write hers. in my timeline she'd an active auror by the time he starts his training and i can see her having a lot of belief in him

hagrid most likely can't cast a patronus with his broken wand but if he could it would be fang. remus' is a wolf (not a werewolf, just a wolf)

they also have canonical wands: for hagrid is english oak with an unknown core (i'd choose unicorn hair)(there's actually an interesting commentary on why jkr chose this and it's because oak is considered the king of the forest and it would suit hagrid). remus' wand is cypress with unicorn hair and it indicates someone who will probably die a heroic death. do we think ollivander told this to eleven years old remus or he had a rare moment of sensibility?

hagrid adores remus, of course. they have complicated relationships with being only partially human and are interested in other magical creatures. i think they'd have engaging conversations (sirius often joins) and that remus is more attuned to his woes in a similar way to hermione in making en effort to keep him company and offer practical ways of solving his problems

How about 17. Goodbye Hug between Freyja and old Hagrid?

H A GR ID 😭😭

Hug 24/79

December of 1998, when Freyja went up to Hogwarts for Hagrid’s 70th birthday. Early December, she sent Hagrid an owl asking if they could catch up. She never forgot how he made her a cake for her 11th birthday, and spent it with her because she didn’t have close enough friends yet at that point. As a belated thank you, she baked him a cake (and then cast Engorgio on it) and brought it for a birthday afternoon tea. The initial greeting was a little awkward, as they hadn’t spoken in so long, and the greeting was a slightly stiff wave from Freyja.

When it came time to go, she decided to just bite the bullet and go for a hug.

And yes, she would absolutely go to his funeral…. 😢

((hug prompts))

Tom and Hagrid friendship could be kinda wholesome ngl

Imagine like if Tom wasn’t evil and he decided to show Hagrid his basilisk. Hagrid would love the basilisk!!!

Why do you hate Hagrid?

Anon if you look at my anti Hagrid posts, the answer will be quite clear why I think Hagrid is a piece of trash.

Hey, have you played the puffskein sq? If so, what do you think of it?

No, but I did watch @dat-silvers-girl's playthrough of it. Sadly, though, I don't really have many thoughts about it, though of course I'm glad at the end we were able to help Best Slytherin Boy Barnaby find his Fanged Puffskein and by extension cheer him up. I mean, really, trying to prevent Barnaby from adopting or spending time with that Puffskein on its own is kind of silly, because what's illegal is the creation of such creatures, under the 1965 Ban of Experimental Breeding. Simply interacting with one isn't a crime -- if it was, then Hagrid would've been rounded up and put back in Azkaban for bringing Blast-Ended Skrewts to his Care of Magical Creatures class during Harry's fourth year. (Even after Rita Skeeter exposes that they were a case of experimental breeding in her article about Hagrid, there's no proof provided that Hagrid was the one who actually created them, and honestly, there's a very good chance he wasn't, given he never finished his magical education.) Even Dumbledore could've gotten into trouble, for later putting those creatures in the maze during the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament.

in all the hagrid ships, it doesn't look like anyone else has suggested this, so: hagrid/dumbledore? it's got the devotion.. the loyalty..... and, of course, the death eater hagrid theory.

thank you very much for the ask, pal!

unsurprisingly, i back this for the mess.

hagrid's unwavering loyalty to dumbledore - which dumbledore encourages through some pretty blatant grooming techniques [above all, through priming hagrid to see him as the only person who truly appreciates him, and the only reason why he isn't in azkaban] and which dumbledore uses to his advantage by making hagrid do various things for him which are almost certainly of dubious legality - is something which i would find quite sinister... were i not aware of the fact that hagrid is canonically a death eater:

but with this important context, i am obsessed with seeing the double-crosser double-crossed. dumbledore's chuckling malevolently to himself while thinking about how easy it is to keep hagrid pliant with only a few forehead kisses [even if he has to stand on a ladder to deliver them], while hagrid is lumbering off to his master with memories purloined from the pensive archives while dumbledore was distracted looking for a towel to wipe himself off with...

thrilling!

❧ Random / Discussed Asks ☙

➤ @merveiilles asked: Hagrid gives Hermione some freshly brewed tea. (hi hello pommy, 5ever been wanting to interact with your girl. also, headcanon my man buys normal-sized dinner/silverware, cups and mugs especially for his guests when they come to visit <;3)

   ❝I'm sorry for dropping in so unannounced,❞ Hermione smiles politely, taking to cup of tea from her hands, taking a light sip of it. She was a grown woman now, and since she was teaching at Hogwarts, it made visiting Hagrid so much easier. In fact, she reckoned she was one of his more frequent ones, sometimes even with Neville accompanying her. Though frequent was absolutely an understatement since she had so much to do with her time. She ran two subjects in one lesson and the library, after all, a lot of parchment to read over and things to mark.

   Settling in her seat, Hermione's fingers tapped on the sides of the teacups. ❝How're you doing? Oh, and how are your lessons? I hope the students aren't running rings around you.❞
