My boy and I have been working on our extended cast for the Cursed Child remake. There might be a part too eventually. But first--- some introductions. Some still a work in progress, but here we go.

Based on a scrapped JK character, we got our good Vampire teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts Nathaniel Trocar. (Harry Lloyd.) Proffessor Trocar took on the empty position after the curse on the class was broken. He's laidback for a vampire and goes around daylight hours with a black parasol. He's able to control his thirst for blood with his blood bank supply, but he's able to enjoy most mortal food so long as it doesn't have garlic (Pukes up blood). It's empty calories, but he'd able to be among mortal wizards. Lily Luna Potter would give him Blood Lollipops from Honeydukes to make him feel welcome. By the time the transfer students come over Trocar keeps noticing someone keeps trying to drug his blood stash. Not to kill him.... But to invade his body.

Yo-yo (voiced by Rowen Atkinson) the free House Elf. Ever since elf kind were liberated by Hermione they were free to pick up different trades like Goblins. As a result Hermione's family are seen as saviors of their kind. One in particular who became a close family friend, is Yo-Yo. He's the first of his kind to be born free. He has never been to Hogwarts and wants to go-- despite him not needing a wand. He just wants to see what it's like. Hugo Weasley then put him in his backpack so he could go and see the campus. The two are very close and love playing games and eating wizard animal crackers.

Amitola Thunderhawk (Tantoo Cardinal) the recent Headmistress of Ilvermorny and Thunderbird alumni. Second in command of the school before Headmaster Agilbert Fontaine suddenly vanished. Wizards in the US had been going missing few quite some time but there was no concrete proof linking them to the mysterious school of Miskatonic University. Considering muggles went there openly, the wizard government choked the rumors up to eccentric fiction. But after Amitola's boss went missing she knew she needed help. She reached out to her old penpal McGonagall and wished to do a student exchange program while she cooperated information to the ministry of magic. It was a risky move, but she knew things would only get worse if nothing could be done. She's protective but fair, and has no time for unneeded nonsense.

Sakima Thunderhawk. Sakima is Amitola's grandson and the first of a long line of Thunderbirds to answer the call of Wampus. He lost his parents to a rogue wizard in his reservation. His grandma is all he has left of his family. As a result his granny protects him and makes sure he stays out of trouble. But being a blossoming Wampus, he naturally wants to be useful in locating these missing witches and wizards. But the headmistress wouldn't have it. She had lost her son and daughter in-law, she would not be losing her grandson to the body snatchers. So she put him in the exchange program to send him to Hogwarts for the year while she worked with other staff to uncover the mystery to these disappearances. Sakima was frustrated, he only wanted to help and had never been outside the country before. But he went. It was a lot to take in all at once and he knew no one there. That was until Lily Potter befriended him and went about showing him around the school. She loved hearing about his home and Ilvermorny. Plus the two bonded over Care for Magical Creatures class. Sakima was very gifted in gaining creature's trust. It didn't take long for Sakima and Lily for form crushes. But not long after their stay, they began noticing students that neither recognized at the school. Ones who weren't part of the program. The body snatchers had infiltrated Hogwarts.

Willow Smith. A daughter of an Ilvermorny Charms professor, Gladys Swan (Kate Blanchett). Her Muggle Born father Jeffrey Smith (Ben Wishaw) went to Hogwarts but was forced to drop out after Voldemort was taking over. He works for the American Ministry of Magic as an auor. Willow herself is a 4th year Horned Serpent student and practicing to be a cat animagus. Her sister Ember Smith is a Squib and it drives her mad. She tried to go to Ilvermorny but when it was her time to get sorted by the 4 idols, none of them called out for her. As a result she couldn't go. Willow would try to comfort her sister, but Ember wouldn't have it. Here was Willow the seemingly perfect sister and then the screw up Ember not worthy enough for magic. Willow would try to throw herself into her studies more, but deep down it hurt knowing their relationship as sisters wouldn't be the same.

De'Aundre Robinson, 1st year Thunderbird. His wizard mother was killed in a hit and run, leaving his muggle father Mr. Robinson (David Oyelowo) to try and raise his wizard son alone. His wife was very secretive of what she did, so it was a hard time for him to relate to his son. De'Aundra is playful and plucky. He wants to get into the Quiddtich team. Personally his father thinks he should stick to something less dangerous like basketball or football.... like other normal boys his age. It frustrates De'Aundre he can't openly show his dad what being a wizard is all about.

Kyoshiro was given up for adoption when he was just a baby. It turned out his Japanese immigrant parents quickly discovered his magical gifts and wanted nothing to do with him. He was then adopted by two witches (Olivia Williams) and (Sally Hawkins) who became his new mothers. They helped him grow and understand how to use his magic. But when Kyoshiro was just getting exposed to wizard life, he couldn't help but notice how much wizards cared about their bloodlines. So many were pure blood, half blood, and muggle born. Though his adoptive mothers were pure and half, he himself didn't know what he was. No one knew much about his real parents and knowing they gave up on him made him sick to his stomach and not want to know what kind of wizard he was. Being a 3rd year Horned Serpent, it's hard to let some thoughts in the mind go.

Sofia Martinez is a 2nd year Pukwudgie and comes from a huge Latin line of Pure Blood wizards. Her family carried recipes that were passed down for generations. Something about their food would heal the soul. Her parents owned an enchanted food truck and would make this food. Knowing how special it was she wants to try and make her own wizard food restaurant so everyone could feel healed too. She's very caring for her friends, almost like a mother hen. In her family, no one is to go hungry or deal with pain.

Onslow and Daisy Dursley. Dudley and his family moved away to the US while the conflict with Voldemort took off in the UK. Dudley went to a community college and was having a hard time fitting in. But one girl was nice to him, Brittany Kowalski. The two started dating and eventually Dudley felt he had to come clean about the wizard part of his family. He braced himself expecting the worse. But to his shock Brittany was actually a Squib, a muggle born from two magical parents. She's Jacob and Queenie's granddaughter. Dudley was overjoyed, he finally could confide in someone over what he had seen over the years with Harry under his roof--- and staircase. Despite having protests from his parents, Dudley married her and they had two kids. Even now they'd take time over the summer to visit their extended relatives with the Potters. Onslow was amazed by his cousins and why they could do. He loved collecting wizard candy and cards. Though he would often ask James and Albus if Aliens existed in the wizard world. To which both would tell him no. That never stopped Onslow for theorizing their secret existence. Not the brightest, and perhaps a bit brash. He's a good kid. His four year old sister is 99.9% convinced she is a wizard. Every day she would take her stick, dress up in her favorite wizard pajamas and crown and try to do magic. This never seemed to work. But even Harry had to admire her determination. Lily would play long to make her little cousin happy.

Benjamin Gulch is not what one would expect for the typical Pukwudgie. He is Confident, irritable, and sarcastic. Ben's family have a talent for healing magic...however it was never enough to pull them out of poverty. As a result they turned to the shady business of scamming muggles. His father, Pastor Gulch, operates a small church out in the countryside where they use their magical talents to fix muggle's medical issues in the guise of faith healing. Growing up poor and somewhat ostracized from wizard society made him tough and combative, prone to blowing up at criticism, especially in relation to his family's legally dubious work. Outwardly he shows pride in his family's ability to help muggles while making some scratch off of them...but inwardly he hopes that one day he can open a legitimate clinic and be a 'proper medical wizard.'

Sunand Alhazred is a melancholic, poetic, and thoughtful boy with a very old soul and a great burden on his shoulders. He is the direct descendant of Abdul Alhazred, The Mad Arab, an infamous sorcerer from ages past and author of the dreaded Necronomicon. However despite his prodigious lineage the young scion resents his family's legacy, believing that nothing good can come from his ancestors accursed books, and prefers to study art and poetry over the mad ramblings of his forebears. A member of the Order of the Bayhakee at Miskatonic University, Sunand is an accomplished Dreamwalker for his age and has visited the Dreamlands many times. He goes there whenever he is able, preferring the fantastical realms there over the 'dreary' mundane world.

Randolph Carter (Jason Spisak) and Sylvia Carter. Randolph is a professor at Miskatonic, Byhakee alumni, and self proclaimed author. An eccentric and curious teacher, Randolph would practice Dream Walking into other detentions. Sometimes he would come out with his mind barely in tact. Sometime he'd be gone for years. This didn't sit well with his wife Wanda Slater (Toni Collette) or his daughter Sylvia. He just wasn't around much and here they were in the heart of Arkham Massachusetts where nothing normal would go on. To Sylvia she longed for a normal life. One with less demonic forces trying to wear her body like a dress or consume her mind like noodles. She'd easily take up a job as a librarian or barista.... if those damn squid people would stop turning her possible clients or bosses into fish. But no, she was a harsh tempered big sister figure in Shantak. Reclusive by nature, but not opposed to give a firm kick to the nads to anyone who was picking on smaller and easily squish-able students at Miskatonic like Judith Whatley.

Judith Whatley is a Fragile, mousey, quiet girl and is the youngest and most human member of the Whateley clan. She bears the least trace of divine corruption in her blood and presents the fewest mutations, having only a handful of slender, hand-tipped tentacles emerging from her back and strange, red eyes. She hates and fears her family, but is too terrified of them to attempt an escape or resist them. She is certain that the only reason that she is still alive is because of her twin sister Joy, who is a mindless, monstrous abomination that only she can control safely. Judith and joy were born conjoined, with Joy as a grotesque tumor on Judith's back. When Judith was old enough the clan cut Joy out of Judith in a ritual that almost killed the small child. Seeing as Joy is necessary to the family's plans, they keep Judith around so she can 'hold the leash' for her monstrous sister who she both fears and loves. Deep down Judith wishes for nothing more than to be a normal child with a normal family, however she has long since given up hope. She was sorted into the Order of the Shoggoth when she was enrolled in Miskatonic University.

Willoughby Wyndham Whatley is cruel, insane, and calculating. The mutated descendant of a corrupted demi-god, Willoughby is a walking nightmare. Despite only being 13 he stands as tall as most adults and speaks with a terrible kind of charisma and calculating intelligence. While he appears as a human from a distance, close examination reveals that something is terribly wrong with him, his worst mutations only covered by extensive clothing. Seen as the 'heir apparent' by his family to his evil great Grandfather, Wilbur Whateley, Willoughby seeks to finish his great grandsire's dark work and bring about the end of sane human life on the Earth. Despite his freakish size and dull appearance, he is also an accomplished wizard and sorcerer, claiming that his 'divine blood' makes him slated for greatness. He despises his younger sister, Judith, for her 'human weakness' while also feeling jealousy that Judith was 'blessed' to be born conjoined to Joy, the most heavily mutated and 'divine' member of the Whateley family. He is sorted into the Order of the Cthonian at Miskatonic University.

a 4-part rec list of my fave drarry fics - the thrillers, dramas, soft bois, and wankbanks getting me through 2020′s shitstorm

[the soft boi list is here and truly i’m not surprised this rec is going to be the longest bc if there’s one thing a bitch is going to do, it’s yearn.

as always! if you love a fic, follow the authors, leave kudos & comments, send them nice msgs bc free art is still labor xoxo]

part 3: soft bois

mood: for when I need respite, a balm to the all-consuming shittiness of life

includes: fluff, comfort, low-stakes, slow-burn fics. a wistful look, a rainy morning, an unexpected grace, a stupidly disarming joke. i could live inside these fics. the smallness of human lives removed from the site of that which hurts & irreparably changes. the story-equivalent of a deep breath after a long day. pregnant silences & pensive mundanity & shy smiles. banter with bite but without the cruelty. the color lavender. weirdly whimsical. soft fics are not necessarily conflict-averse (no drarry fic rly can be, considering the context) but, they offer the reader a generous distance from the initial harm. they’re the quiet cleaning up after a storm. sometimes healing is an exacting surgical knife and other times it’s a slow scabbing. you read these fics to be reassured that the way forward is not always ruthless. and honestly?? they deserve a semblance of peace godDAMmit.

The Way Down by @letteredlettered - 65k - T “and I thought that if someone talked to you as though you were a human being you might—maybe you could act like one” --the way i think about this line daily. the characterization of draco in this fic is one my favorites bc he’s earnest and neurotic and tired of harry’s shit. which is to say, he cares so so much. and harry doesn’t know what to do with that bc he’s got a monster in his chest and lives as a recluse. but they both humanize each other in ways no one else can. “you’re just a person” has to be some kind of drarry ethics of belonging and it makes me CRY. -

Little Deaths and How to Avoid Them by @greaseonmymouth and dustmouth - 96k - T “Maybe it’s not about deserving it? Maybe you just get to have it anyway. . .I’m allowing myself to want something and to let myself have it and to fight for it.” --harry runs a daycare and also works at a library. draco spends a lot of time in said library. they bond over sci-fi books and therapy anecdotes and quiet philosophical conversations held over cafeteria soup. and harry’s struggling to understand his asexuality. draco’s learning how to live with anxiety and depression. they both want to be deserving of love. incredible fic with beautiful art by dustmouth. -

Open for Repairs by @drarrytrash - 35k - T “A few leaves rustle in the gutter and the muggle world pays no mind to them, to two lost boys holding on for dear life.” --all of their fics feel exactly like this. like you’ve been allowed to look at something private, tender, unexpected. draco, known abba fan, is a repairman in the muggle world & harry can’t stop breaking thrifted things in order to see him? say less, i'm thERE. also “I think I have a crush on you” goddddd - other faves by them: Counting Down By Ten - 2k - T: draco’s stepped outside of the party for a smoke. harry follows him bc of course he does. i could read this 100 times and not get tired of it. - Clouds That Veil the Midnight Moon - 36k - E: FUCKING HILARIOUS I CACKLED THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. draco’s wolfy problem and harry helping him and harry being flustered by how much he likes draco and draco’s hot heroic moment. shutup it’s perfect. “He almost asks if Draco ever gets tired of being a miserable complaining shit all the time, but he knows that he, personally, never ever gets tired of being a miserable complaining shit.” and “It’s the traumas,” Harry says gravely” --lines that live rent free in my head -

Harry Potter and the Future He Doesn't Really Want, Thanks by seefin - 70k - E “That was the only logical thing to do here, wasn’t it? It was the next step, it was the end of hurting each other and the beginning of the exact opposite.” --harry lives with luna and neville and also he dreams about the future sometimes? and he keeps running into draco. draco thinks this is sus as hell, until he doesn’t. feat. taxi rides, museums, cinemas, rooftop conversations beneath a lunar eclipse, mid-sex innocuous banter, draco and harry discussing nicki minaj. this fic charmed my ass off. seefin writes the most effortlessly hilarious dialogues. i smiled at my phone like an idiot at least 7 times. - other faves by them: Wild - 93k - E: “he liked feeling needed, for the things that he was needed for back at the house in Ireland. For cooking and gardening and driving. Easy things.” --this shit makes me cry it’s so good. harry lives in Ireland with these three brilliant, hilarious, wandless witches and draco’s a potions student who's come to study under one of the housemates and the boys have so much shit to work through but their love becomes so tender and honest. draco yells at harry a lot and harry lets him and they both keep each other grounded in something real and fuCK. - Divination for Dickheads - 7k - G: “I’m terrible at having crushes. I’ve never played anything cool a day in my life.” -- oh harry, we knOW. a bus ride, a fortune teller, an aquarium birthday party. god i love this fic. -

Modern Love by @tackytigerfic - 61k - E “But we’ve worked so hard at this, haven’t we? Yeah, I know it’s a horror to have to talk about it, but fuck it. We’re friends now, but it took so long to get here. Have you ever had to work so hard at something before?" --the steady blossoming of their friendship in this fic is so goddamn beautiful i want to yell. it’s draco and harry learning to trust each other and the whole thing unfolds so slowly, in this whimsical mix of london streets, wizarding politics, church halls feat. a Hot vicar, and a magical antique shop owner who’s married to literal poseidon?? goD the environment of this fic. immaculate. [also there’s a tender shower scene that makes me cry every single fucking time so if you read this fic pls dm me so we can be embarrassing about it together tbh] -

Nice Things by aideomai - 22k - M “He kept waiting for the weird shock of touch to not knock him clean out of his head, leave him quiet and warm and happy.” --8th year. harry forms an unlikely friendship with draco that begins with smoking weed on a windowsill. harry is touch-starved and draco touches him like he touches all his close friends - like it’s easy. the quiet affection in this fic, the way harry burrows himself into touch bc he’s been without it for his entire life. reading this is like being held. -

Running On Air by @tinyhistory - 74k - T “do you remember when we were eleven?” --alexa play coldplay’s the scientist it’s sad girl hours and we’re about to fucking yearn. you’ve seen this fic rec on every drarry list under the sun and i'm here to be redundant. the hype is so goddamn real. this story is a lyrical masterpiece held together by lines that act as refrains that will rattle around your brain until you die, probably. draco’s been missing for 3yrs. harry goes to find him. it’s their odyssey of homecoming. -

Title of Their Sex Tape by @cibeewastaken - 12k - T “But Draco, Draco was everything but boring. Draco made sitting in the rain watching an empty house fun.” --auror partners pining and draco being eccentric and harry being very earnestly gay about draco’s eccentricities!! god this fic is so genuinely fun skskd feat. undercover missions, murderous faeries, a book heist, a stunning navy dress, harry’s eyelashes. -

How We Throw Our Shadows Down by @thistle-verse - 14k - T “Draco is about to say something else— to thank Potter for what he’d done, however poorly— but Harry is smiling at him again, and it’s so soft and perfect that Draco holds in any inadequate words, lest he spoil it.” --draco collects tea cozies and of course harry has the one he wants. the sad and tender gays are at it again feat. conversations in the rain at a train station, melancholy Blaise, muggle photos, wizarding e-bay, the Dursleys. -

Helix by Saras_Girl - 92k - E “Draco sighs in his sleep and Harry clings on to consciousness, needing to hold on, to give this tiny, insignificant moment the attention it deserves” --I think maybe you can describe every soft Saras_Girl story as giving tiny, insignificant moments the attention they deserve. like, this is an 8th year fic about snails and it’s full of whimsy, grief, compassion, and easy humor. an absolute must-read author in this genre if you want languorous, episodic fics full of distinct OCs and affectionate creatures. - other faves by them: Light up the Night Sky - 98k - M “Draco, sometimes you make my head feel like soup” --the one where harry is a fireworks artist and has a pet chameleon named ken. draco is on the wizarding arts council. they both pine like hell. - Headlights in the Snow - 71k - M “they stare at each other in silence, Harry’s heart beating so loud in his chest that he thinks the biddies must be able to hear it over the sound of their card game.” --the one where draco drives the knight bus and carts around the biddy club, a group of rambunctious old ladies who knit and drink tea and gossip. harry can’t help but fall in love with the everything about this. -

Follow the Water by @xanthippe74 - 38k - T “Harry’s heavy thoughts lift at the sight, like dark clouds blown away from the sun by the wind. The tent doesn’t feel so cramped and stifling now. It feels cozy. And safe. It’s the same feeling that Harry gets when he’s at the Burrow for Sunday roasts, when a group of people who care for each other deeply are crammed into too-small a space.” --harry wanders to the lovegood house on a sunday afternoon. he’s baffled to see that luna’s taken pansy, greg, and draco under her wing. what follows is a summer of forest walks, scavenger hunts, gardening, water fights, odd cakes, faerie rings, and picnics. so many picnics. i love the pace of this fic, the innocent return to childhood things, the way luna brings out the best in all her friends. reluctantly soft slytherins are just *chefs kiss*!! -

Going Postal (A 125pg comic) by dustmouth - T what. a. beautiful. ass. comic. the wizarding fashion, the textures, the character design!! harry travels a lot for his job as a resourcer. draco works in the regulations dept. they pine like a bunch of lovesick idiots via field report notes. god i love dustmouth’s art. -

All the Earnest Young Men by @tepre - 29k - E “Draco is twenty-seven layers of personality wrapped up in drama and humour, and a wit so sharp it still stings when he doesn’t see it coming. But there is something below that, too. Something that makes Harry ache just looking at him.” --the way i would lay down my little life for tepre’s characterization of draco, whom invented the word earnest. he’s a magical art theory expert and portraits are disappearing all over London and harry’s the auror assigned to this case. and well. they’re both so very avoidant about how gay they are for each other and it’s like!! shutup and kiss!! which they do in fact, shutup and kiss. -

Trenches by sara_holmes - 3k - M “Somewhere in the distant part of his mind that hasn't frozen solid, he thinks that maybe he and Draco are about to become more than auror partners, smoking buddies, wine-mates and co-inhabitants of a snow filled trench somewhere in western Scotland.” --the plot line here is literally “it’s cold and i need a fucking cigarette” but let me tell you how I never tire of the shared loaded-silences of two emotionally repressed gays. -

The Years Before Love by lomonaaeren - 13k - M “That’s one of the meanings of peace, he thinks, as Hermione hugs him...That he can do things slowly, softly, without worrying that they won’t be there tomorrow.” --andromeda taking harry under her wing and harry finding solace in teddy. narcissa and draco showing up and the tentative relationships that slowly develop in the quiet calm of andromeda’s house. found families and kisses in the snow and special xmas gifts ugh what’s not to love -

The Moon Looks Lovely Tonight by Omi_Ohmy - 35k - M “I want this to be a house where people are welcome, where they don’t have to be any one way or another” --in which harry collects lost things--owls, best friends, inept bakers, potions experimenters--and turns the mausoleum that is grimmauld place into a home. feat. your fave drarry tropes like shared-beds and reluctant waltzing partners. -

[part 1: thrillers | part 2: dramas | part 3: soft bois | part 4: wankbanks]

271: CharlieFleur

After the first task, Charlie dawdled in helping to package up the dragons to return to Romania. The champions had done well enough—he'd congratulate Harry later—but Beauxbatons' star witch's performance had made him squirm. "Close call," he said when she appeared to see them off.

"A leetle fire eez no trouble," Fleur replied. But her eyes glittered with fear at the beasts behind him.

"You know, they're not as scary as you think." He smiled. "It takes training to overcome that fear, Miss Delacour."

Slowly, she returned his smile. "…I 'ave nevair been asked out over dragons before."

272: HestiaCHestiaJ

She spied jet-haired Jones in passing when she and Flora tagged along with their father on a Ministry errand. Hestia's eyes lingered on the way raucous laughter lit up the young Auror's face as she returned to the office with her ragged band of colleagues.

But Hestia's twin pinched her arm, hard, yanking Hestia's attention away. "Carrows don't mingle with Aurors for good reason," Flora reminded her sister.

Hestia knew the curse and weight of their surname. But the allure of Hestia Jones' ruby-lipped smile was enough to make Hestia consider it perhaps was time for that fact to change.

273: LilyLPLysander

Lysander has a soft heart. It's what enables him to frown at his twin's antics but say he loves him in the same breath, to speak fondly of his parents' eccentric travels, to love unconditionally.

So Lily's got to be gentle. But when has she ever learned not to be rough and tough in a household with older brothers and a family of Quidditch nuts? The Potters are a hardy family, for good reason.

…for Lysander's sake, though, she'll learn. She desperately wants to, for this sweet boy whose soft heart always has a shy smile to send her way.

274: DaphneNeville

"This place is overridden with people who do not belong."

Pansy's words stung long after the blonde abandoned her friend at the Yule Ball. Daphne knew Pansy didn't mean her but their classmates, but she felt it unfair, especially since Pansy had said that while watching Neville and Ginny dance.

Neville cleaned up so nice, too, and danced like a gentleman. It was why Daphne skirted around the Great Hall, away from Pansy… She was waiting to put her old etiquette to good use, if only Ginny would take a break and set him free for another witch's fancy tonight…

275: HelenaSirius

Helena rounds the ceiling of the Great Hall—and halts when mischievous eyes find hers. "It can't be," she breathes.

But Sirius smiles and shakes his head. "It is."

"But that means," she says with a pout, drifting closer. She touches him, and he's cold and warm at once. It's the unique sensation of a fellow ghost.

"It does, old friend," Sirius confirms. "There was…a skirmish, and I fell through something that I see now acts like a gateway." He speaks not of death, nor does he mention how his heart led him back to the castle—

—to her.

276: AlbusGellert

Gellert bristled with magic untamed. It both frightened and intrigued Albus, drawing out one visit into two into three, and the whole summer flew past them in a heartbeat. The world would wait for them when the seasons changed.

But then Gellert would smile at him. And Albus' worries would seem so much less, so far away.

Bathilda's and Elphias' concerns were inconsequential… Albus' family didn't need a say… He and Gellert had a connection that none could explain, that none had experienced before…

Gellert smiled, and Albus knew that their moments now, in this moment, were all that mattered.

277: CormacCharlie

Charlie laughs when Cormac arrives at the Dragon Plains. "So you've conquered the world of Quidditch already?"

Cormac rolls his shoulders in a casual shrug, because he's not the ickle firstie yearning to play on the same team as his senior anymore. He's Cormac McLaggen, who achieves anything he sets out to do. "Quidditch one day, Romania the next. I've got this," he states.

"That cockiness won't get you anywhere in Romania."

But Cormac eyes him with a grin; the scrutiny makes Charlie laugh and redden, but he doesn't shy away. "We'll see about that, Weasley."

"Stubborn as ever, McLaggen…"

278: LavenderRomilda

It wasn't so terrible, being vain.

Only Romilda understood it, though, Lavender wanting to cover up her wounds with the latest fashion and the hottest cosmetics and the trendiest spells. She went with her to every store and sometimes even dredged up spells that passed Lavender by. She minded the way she leaned in to the older Gryffindor, too, in case today was a painful day. Romilda understood, and she showed it.

But Lavender appreciated that, Romilda's company and ministrations and more, because not every scar was a badge of honor, even if it brought the two of them together.

279: PenelopeLucius

He's not so severe when he smiles, Penny thinks when she catches him between Ministry meetings and whispers.

Lucius is accustomed to sneering, but he's not all cloak-and-dagger-and-Galleons-slipped-to-officials as everyone thinks and he'd like others to believe. There are certain meetings he exits with a bead of sweat on his brow and a triumphant twinkle in his eye before he smiles in relief. It's a smile of triumph won through hard work of sorts.

So Penny decrees that someone who smiles sincerely and doesn't chastise her for catching him in a vulnerable moment can't be all that bad…she hopes.

280: HermioneBlaise

She didn't need an audience in the library, searching for a solution to Harry's conundrum with Slughorn. Yet, whenever she rounded an aisle, she spied Blaise somewhere in the background. Hermione sent him a pointed stare, a warning to back off.

Blaise nodded in reply but shrugged and held up his hands in a calming manner as he neared. "No need to be hostile, Granger."

"Then may I help you, Zabini?"

He snickered. "You're amusing to watch, you know. Like a storm blowing through the stacks but with a mission." He raised his eyebrows appreciatively.

And Hermione felt oddly flattered.

The Owl House- Future Antagonists (Theory/Headcanons)

Imagine this:

After Luz rescues Eda, Emperor Belos starts to get really intrested in this "human witch". So he orders his most trusted men to bring her to him by any means necessary...

Who are they, you ask?

LEADERS OF THE COVENS

The most respected and (not including Eda and Emperor) most powerful witches on Boiling Isles. And now, Luz's new enemies...

Here's how I imagine them to be...

THE ABOMINATION COVEN'S LEADER

Regis Sator, 38 (voiced by Seán William McLoughlin)

Very eccentric

Seems very overly dramatic and self-centered at first

The first one to try to capture Luz

After he's defeated, he treats Luz with a lot of respect

Hopeless romantic and Theater kid

#StraightAlly 🏳️‍🌈

Extremly loyal to Emperor, but still likes The Owl House Squad

THE POTION COVEN'S LEADER

Justice Solis, 41 (voiced by Jacob Tobia)

Non-binary

Doesn't talk very often

Seems very cold and distant at first

Very patient and kind

Single parent of twins- Stella and Luna

The least problematic Coven Leader

Went to Glandus High

THE ILLUSION COVEN'S LEADER

Levis Blight, 39 (voiced by Jim Pirri)

yes, THIS Blight

Aruza Blight's husband

Owner of the "Blight Wands Corp."

Seems very intrested in Luz...

Not very loyal to Emperor

Extreme perfectionist and hypocrite

Only nice to people when he wants something from them

Abusive father

Extreme mood swings and anger outbursts

Wants Eda gone more than anything else

THE CONSTRUCTION COVEN'S LEADER

Guliver Elatus, 47 (voiced by SungWon Cho)

The youngest Coven Leader in history

Very short and very short-tempered

Perfectionist

Extremly loyal to Emperor

less talking moRE BUILDING!!!

THE PLANT COVEN'S LEADER

Rose Bloosom, 22 (voiced by Erin Fitzgerald)

Very cold and strict

Almost alien-like

Obsessed with the Emperor on a VERY personal level

Worships The Boiling Isles as a divine being

Despices talismans and hunts them down herself, specifically for the Emperor

Saved by the Belos from the terrible monster (*cought!* Bat Queen *cought!*) when she was a kid

Sees a huge potential in Willow...

Despices Luz and Eda, claiming they're "not worthy of using the Isles's gifts"

THE BEAST KEEPING COVEN'S LEADER

Brutus Tutella, 14 (voiced by Tara Sands)

The youngest Coven Leader

Fascinated by the King

Very impulsive and childish

The Golden Child Syndrome

Never had any "normal" friends- only animals

Loves every and each beast on Boiling Isles

THE BARD COVEN'S LEADER

Aruza Blight, 37 (voiced by Rachael Macfarlane)

Yes, THAT Blight

Levis Blight's wife

Very quiet and distant

british accent

Short-tempered

Has a soft spot for Eda, her best friend back in Hexside

Cares deeply about her public image

Neglectful mother

She reminds Luz of someone...

THE HEALING COVEN'S LEADER

Medice Blight, 63 (voiced by Lorraine Toussaint)

Levis Blight's mother

the oldest Coven Leader

the last remaining member of the Coven Founders

Kind old lady

Great cook

The only one not intrested in fighting

Tries to convince Luz to give herself up to Emperor- she obviously says 'no' and Medice respects that decision

Failed to save her son, now she wants to save Luz, from the worst illness of them all, lust for power

THE ORACLE COVEN'S LEADER

Fatum Livens, 25 (voiced by Aimee Carrero)

Usually very clumsy, optimistic and friendly...

...but during the fight, (most of the time) extremly cold and harsh

Thinks Luz is "THE MOST ADORABLE LITTLE THING EVER!!!"

The most skilled in fighting out of all the Coven Leaders

In love with Rose Blossom, who's absurdally oblivious to Fatum's attempts

Has a very grim prophecy for Luz...

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

~S(1)³🌼

🌟 Based on my Hogwarts x TUA AU: where I would sort the Hargreeves siblings?

Number Five || Ravenclaw (others)

"Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, If you've a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind."

“For Ravenclaw, the cleverest Would always be the best [...]”

Said Ravenclaw, "We'll teach those whose Intelligence is surest."

And only those of sharpest mind Were taught by Ravenclaw

I know most people would look at Five and put him in Slytherin, but I think he belongs in Ravenclaw. Especially because they do not care about rules, not really. They often dismiss social expectations and prefer to satisfy their own intellectual curiosity. If this doesn’t sound sound like Five, I don’t know what else can be.

Ravenclaw is the house for the people who seek knowledge and look at the world differently, people who do things on their own way. Five is the same, his intelligence is indisputable and he has wit (all the types of wit: dry wit, rapier wit, ready wit, quick wit etc...lol). His brain both saves his ass multiple times and drives him into troubles as well, that’s so Ravenclaw.

I also imagine Five would be glad to stay in a house where the most have brains and it challenges him to always wonder and question everything (the eagle knocker is his archi-enemy, I can imagine that). He also thinks (knows) he’s the best, which is a Ravenclaw’s flaw too. They often claim all clever wizards or witches come from their house, but it’s not true. Being in Ravenclaw doesn’t mean being the perfect top score student, no. They encourage creativity, individuality and accept your eccentricity.

A great example is, of course, one of my favourite character in the HP universe: Luna Lovegood. She is lovely in all her quirky way and I love how she doesn’t care what the other people think. Despite the exterior one can trust Luna as friend and ally. She has such a great sensibility and her heart is in the right place.

Sometimes it’s hard to classify a Ravenclaw, there a big spectrum of different characters belonging to Rowena’s house and they sometimes distinguish themselves more for their eccentricity than just plain intellect: Gilderoy Lockhart and Sybill Trelawney for example. They are good at one thing (Lockhart with his Memory Charms and Trelawney has real seer power but she doesn’t comand them), but lie the rest of the time about the proportion of their talents. They are funny tho.

A lot of inventors like the creator of Floo Powder Ignatia Wildsmith and the inventor of several love potions Laverne de Montmorency. Some Ministers of Magic like Millicent Bagnold and Lorcan McLaird In the lot we also have one of the best wandmaker of the recent history: Garrick Ollivander.

I like the idea that Five would be fine in any house, but for someone who was so thristy of knowing (how to time travel) in his youth, Ravenclaw would help him to cultivate such desire and accept his oddness. I’ve also sorted Ben in Ravenclaw, so in my mind Ben would certainly be able to contain his most aggressive traits and balance him more by being his friend.

❝ sleeping or waking, the world was a slippery game: fluid stage sets, drift and echo, reflected light. and all of it sifting like salt between numbed fingers. ❞

{ trans woman, she/her } huh, who’s JAMIE CLAYTON? no, you’re mistaken, that’s actually LUNA LOVEGOOD - SCAMANDER. she is a 48 year old HALFBLOOD witch who is A MAGIZOOLOGIST. she is known for being ECCENTRIC, BLUNT, PROUD, ABSENTMINDED, and AIRY but also OPEN MINDED, INNOVATIVE, CREATIVE, PERCEPTIVE, and SERENE, so that must be why she always reminds me of the song THE WIND BY PJ HARVEY and GREEN GRASS TICKLING BARE FEET, SPRING FLOWERS, LOCKING HANDS WITH THE ONES YOU LOVE, ALWAYS WELCOMING STRAY ANIMALS, A WATERY MOON AGAINST A MORNING SKY, UNEXPECTED LAUGHTER, PAINT STAINED SHIRTS, COMFORTABLE SILENCE . i hear she is aligned with THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, so be sure to keep an eye on her.

『 hunter schafer. twenty one. trans girl. she/her. 』 oh heavens, is that SAILOR QUINN from MAIN STREET i see roaming around mapleview? minnie may’s always calling them - GREEDY & - IMPULSIVE. i happen to think they’re not that bad! they’re a pretty cool WAITRESS AT SUNRISE DINER AND LOCAL PSYCHIC and every time i’ve seen them, they’ve always been + WARM & + QUICK WITTED. i hope i see them around again! 『 pepper. twenty four. est. she/her. 』

ABOUT THE MUN. the 2000 claymation film chicken run radicalized me hi, hey, hello, everyone my name is pepper and i am at work 😔 but i am also currently slacking off from work to write this 🤠 we love to see it. the duality of man. a bit about me is that i would lay my life down for hunter schafer !!! i am so excited to finally play her this has been my dream since i laid eyes on her,,, that and to take her hand in marriage but i digress. fun fact number 2, i have just started skins at my big age and i hate tony with a passion!!! i’ll fight that little punk i swear !!! fun fact number three, i have an irrational fear of humanoid beings with gills, looking at you sharkboy !! thanks for traumatizing me as a kid buddy, someone had to do it !! this fear also includes the deep from the boys, that weird fish guy that that one lady banged in that oscar nominated movie, and gill from kim possible. all of these fish men all my living nightmares, thank you for coming to my ted talk 😌 (honestlee,,, why is this such a common trope in media. who started this,,,why do they hate me). and finally, the most important thing you need to know about me, is that as a child i thot that god looked like king trident from the little mermaid. i think we can all relate to that, right? right. okay moving onto the love of my life, ms. sailor quinn.

BIO. winks with my third eye

everyone in mapleview knows about the quinns. the family has been here probably nearly as long as the town has and is pretty well known for their eccentrics. let’s just say the quinns were definitely, understandably, some of the first women in the history of mapleview to be accused of as being witches, an act of which they made the good ol’ mapleview history books for. this is a fact that sailor often looks back on with pride. honestly, it was one of the only things that made going to history class worth it, because despite how painfully boring the class was in general, sailor could never get tired of the startled looks of her classmates whenever her ancestry was brought up.

nowadays the quinns are arguably living a less exciting life than the good old days of being accused of sorcery. instead, they’re psychics. fortune tellers, if you will. you can find their family shop on main street, and if you’re ever feeling particularly divinely inspired you can stop by for a reading and a few charms or some crystals (they also offer sagings and exorcisms) . the third eye has actually become a bit of a tourist attraction actually, well, as much of a tourist attraction as you could find in mapleview, due to the actions of sailor’s mother.

to put it simply, sailor’s mother had plans bigger than mapleview could offer. around the time the she was eighteen she left the town for hollywood. now, you would think based in this information that venus quinn had big plans of being on the big screen maybe. or that perhaps she had the voice of an angel and wanted to sing on the radio. you would be wrong.

sailor’s mother became a reality tv show psychic. as you can guess, the psychic community loves her. that is, if love involved a myriad of curses being put on you and maybe a bit of voodoo. okay, she’s universally despised by psychics pretty much everywhere. i think it’s to be expected.

sailor was born into this legacy. as you can guess, it was a pretty heavy cross to bear. she was born into a b-list fame that meant her mother had to call her own paparazzi, that sailor herself simply had to be homeschooled to avoid the ‘mobbing’ of perhaps fifteen avid fans max, and that every morning in their grand living room her mother would let her hate mail fuel their fireplace. sailor would occasionally have her face plastered on tlc, or her voice would be heard as her mother made a ‘heartwarming call to her family at home whilst on tour’ but to put it bluntly, sailor was more of a prop in her mother’s fame than anything else. and it was bargain shop fame at best. but apparently still enough scrutiny that her mother felt the need to take her out of the public eye when she came out and began to transition.

sailor came out to her mother at the age of nine and before she could even reach the age of ten, her mother had shipped her halfway across the country to mapleview to comfortably transition in a town of strangers and in a household of people she’d only ever met at argument fueled holiday parties. her mother swore up and down that this was to make sure that sailor could transition outside of public scrutiny, so that she could have her privacy in this time and not have to deal with the media hounding her down during such a vulnerable period but sailor couldn’t help but feel abandoned by the whole situation. it felt like her mother was hiding her away, like some sort of dirty little secret. it felt like she was ashamed of her, even if the woman swore up and down that she accepted sailor as she was.

sailor moved into the top of the third eye with her her aunts and grandmother and was welcomed into this clan of women with open arms. as mentioned earlier, most of sailor’s experience with her aunts and grandmother has been brief exchanges between her aunts screaming at her mother for being a sell out, her mother hollering back about them not supporting her, and her grandmother pretending to cast a curse on her mother from the head of the dining room table. you know. normal family gatherings, but not enough for you to truly get to know somebody. but it is within the quinn women’s household that sailor finally found her footing. she finally felt like she belonged. her aunts and gram taught her everything they knew and nurtured her lovingly throughout her transition. they gave her her first job working front desk at the third eye, made the place she felt like her mother abandoned her feel more like home than her mother’s place ever had. and she is painfully loyal to them for it. when her mother finally reached out to sailor at the age of sixteen, finally inviting her back home, sailor simply refused. and she’s been here in mapleview ever since.

a few years ago sailor’s mother moved back to mapleview to attempt to repair their relationship. to put it frankly, her views were plummeting quickly, and along with feeling some amount of remorse for her deteriorating relationship with her daughter she also thought that perhaps making her show a mother daughter act would bring some of the attention back to it. sailor has pretty much refused to speak to her, but she lives around sycamore way in a large house on a hill.

despite sailor having no plans to break into the reality tv business, she really has no idea what she would like to do instead. she is currently content to just continue working at her family shop, and occasionally take up a few of the shifts at the diner as well. she likes money, and she certainly has ambitions to make more, the how is simply up in the air at the moment. honestly, life would be a lot simpler if she could see her own future.

or well, anyone’s at all.

HEADCANNONS. are you a virgin? why are you planning a sacrifice?

this is the song that inspired sailor, no i cannot explain why.

sailor’s mother name is venus (vee), her aunts name is persephone (percy), her other aunts name is circe (cece) and finally her grandmother’s name is luna. both her aunts are unmarried and her grandmother is widowed.

that said, sailor does have a father despite the fact that i didn’t once mention him djsdjk he is an artist and he loves her mother to death honestly. their relationship is almost completely based off of the relationship of cassie’s parents from skins, so yeah they can’t keep their hands off each other and sailor’s father kenneth often paints her mother nude. most of these paintings could be seen on display in her old household, so sailor really did just grow up seeing her mother butt ass naked every day. sometimes it be like that i suppose.

sailor has three black cats. she calls them the muses and their names are calliope, clio, and urania. basically, whenever there is a black cat at the pound sailor makes it her mission to them home because the stigma against black cats that keeps them from getting adopted?? wack. sailor will adopt everyone of them.

is currently still living above her family shop is kind of interested in finding an apartment to move into instead. is in the market for a roomie or like three!! all interested parties please apply.

is actually kinda a con artist. honestly, her whole family kinda is but shh, don’t tell nsdkjsdjk none of them can actually see the future but aunt percy (who says she can see the future, but honestly while sailor does believe her aunt percy is also a bit loony so sdjhsdj who knows what the truth is?) and her grandmother. cece, vee, and sailor tho?? all faking it until they make it. honestly sailor is pretty good about it, although she doesn’t actively see the future she does believe in everything she practices for the most part, and it shows. that says, since she is frankly, a magpie when it comes to money and literally anything mildly expensive she will offer rich people tarot readings without any hesitation and proceed to make the whole thing up as she goes along. if sailor judges them to be bad people (aka rude, the kinda people who don’t tip, snooty, assholes) she will give them a horrible reading to instill the fear of god in them and charge them extra for some good luck charms to ward off their impending doom. but if she likes them she will read the cards as they are and do her best to give them good advice based on her gut. her only saving grace is that she has pretty good intuition anyways, so a lot of what she says tends to be right even if it’s just shots in the dark. (her aunt cece is worse though, she looks up all her clients online before they come to see her dskjdsjk all of her predictions are educated guesses based on her research)

the type to crush and crush hard. falls in love every other week, and gets her heart broken just as often. honestly, sailor tends to fall for anyone who is nice to her, or gives her attention, or whose attention she wants. she is constantly on tinder mostly for fun. tends to treat the app more like a game than anything else, goes out on one night stands a hookups at least ??? 3 times a week. will make cast a love spell for the guy who told her to stay dry when she left the grocery store or the girl who smiled at her on the bus.

cannot drive but has a license. if you see sailor behind the wheel, duck. she drives a cute little sky blue bug though. it has eyelashes on the headlights.

colours her hair whenever she is even mildly stressed. by default at the moment it’s a pretty silvery blonde, so she tends to colour the ends often depending on her mood.

actually can sing unlike her mother, you can probably catch her at any open mic nights in town. she has a little guitar that she’s covered in flower stickers and named aphrodite.

that little frowny face florence pugh was making throughout the entirety of midsommar,,, unhappy sailor content. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

the type to go to church and pretend to be overcome by the holy spirit just because she’s bored on a sunday sdkjsdj

your girl is vegan and bisexual, we love to see it.

PERSONALITY. feeling cute today. might commit acts of hubris

CHEEKY. 99.9% of the time sailor is joking. she is the type to generally tend to be in a cheerful mood no matter what, always laughing or making a dry joke. doesn’t tend to often be in a bad mood but when she is it says something. very witty honestly, tends to be quite funny and the type to go out of her way to make someone laugh

GREEDY. sailor loves money. she absolutely adores it. she’s kind of a magpie when it comes to material things, the type to go to antique stores and thrift stores and clear them out of absolutely anything that interests her. a shameless pickpocket and minor thief, but only when it comes to large corporations or people who look like they have a summer house stashed away somewhere. definitely snatched some sort of expensive little statue from her moms place the last time she went to visit a la fleabag. is probably still looking for some place to sell it online, but honestly also kinda wants to keep it. she’s named her no head nancy and she is currently sitting on sailors desk as a paperweight

WARM. all faults aside, if you ever need something from somebody sailor is the one to go to. need a ride home from the club? sailor will come and get you in ten minutes. feeling sick? sailor will be over at your place with some vegan chicken noodle soup and a charm for good health. need someone to cheer you up? sailor is doing a chicken dance on your front porch. she is ultimately kind, and if you are her friend especially she will be there for you until death.

IMPULSIVE. that said sailor does pretty much everything she does without thinking. she is actually, surprisingly enough, a bit of a planner when it comes to life and finances, like she is pretty organized considering how scattered her personality is otherwise. but if sailor gets a whim to go somewhere or do something out of nowhere, she will do it. commitments be damned. the type to suddenly get up and leave mapleview one day to live in hawaii for a year and learn to scuba dive yk. will send you postcards tho.

this is my first time playing sailor so if this is a mess and contradictory it’s because i am too 😌 thank you for coming to my ted talk.

WANTED CONNECTIONS. god doesnt respond why should i

EXES. give. me. ANGST with this please. the more dramatic the better. it’s been a hot minute since i had a good ex connection so maybe something where they dated in high school or even more recently. where they’re trying to be on good terms but some angsty feels linger below the surface, or where they’re on really bad terms and can’t hide it. the kind of exes who keep going back to each other, or who can’t leave each other alone, jealousy, and all that good stuff yk

BEST FRIENDS. pls. i would love for sailor to have like four or five of these honestly, just a little squad. these could be here roommates!! or not!! i plan on putting in a wc for her roommates honestly, so look forward to that.

REGULAR CUSTOMER. someone who sailor is either milking dry or is just trying to reassure. she comes to their place in the middle of the night to sage the place because they swear they heard a ghost. they have a urgent skype call because they broke a mirror and want sailor to go over their future one more time to see how it’s been affected. sailor makes a lot of money off of them and either feels guilty about it or not even a little bit guilty about it depending on their relationship.

OTHER REGULAR CUSTOMER. this is someone who sailor regularly serves at the diner. rip to them because she is horrible at it. they find sailors order taking pencil in their soup. sailor is constantly getting their order wrong. sometimes she sits down with them and steals their fries as she talks their ear off. sailor is honestly probably too comfortable with them considering how bad she is at her job, but she definitely considers them friends.

A CRUSH. open to ladies, theydies, and gents! someone who sailor has a big ol’ dumb crush on. this is the person that sailor thinks of whenever she does a love reading, the person who she gazes at longingly whenever she sees them. she also probably talks their ear off whenever they see each other. big heart eyes atm, but sailor knows it probably won’t last more than a month. right?

EX-CRUSHES. that makes me think omg, i’d love to have some people sailor used to have a crush on. people she had a crush on in high school. people she had a crush on last year. just people she used to be obsessed with who she is completely over now sdkjdsjk maybe they’re friends now and sailor doesn’t know what she saw in them in the first place. maybe they’re enemies omg

OPPOSITES ATTRACT. i’d like someone really grounded to be friends with sailor. like just someone with their shit together who isn’t as airy and whimsical as her. sailor makes them loosen up a bit, and they make sure sailor doesn’t end up dead. it’s a balance.

i think that’s all i can think of for now but honestly i’d also love to see a bully sailor used to have a s child, someone who thinks psychics and astrology and everything is bs just so sailor can like !!! debate with them about it yk, someone who’s a fan of her moms show, someone who maybe comes to sailors open mic nights religiously, a neighbor maybe like just the person who lives above the shop beside the third eye and sees these women baying at the moon during the summer solstice and is like ??? fuck i gotta move, previous one night stands, fwb, ewb, uh someone who bonds with sailor over occult stuff???

#mapleviewintro #whew #this took a hot minute but here it is y'all we love to see it

♔ ◦ ˚ ⋆ ◦ ━━ i heard that this “ there is a thin semantic line separating weird and beautiful. and that line is covered in jellyfish ” describes LUNA LOVEGOOD perfectly. they are an EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD and are considered a HALF-BLOOD witch who is currently a STUDENT. she is known to be very CREATIVE, KIND, and HONEST but they can also be quite ALOOF, ECCENTRIC, and DISTANT. when you look at them you often hear LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS by THE BEATLES come to your mind. not to mention that you tend to think of fireflies, walking barefoot, pleasant dreams, and paint and ink stains when they are around. i also noticed that they have ties to THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. keep your eyes out for them because you never know what’s going to happen. { elle fanning, she/they, cis-female }

𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘

𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙜𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨: luna was born in a house that looked like a chess rook, near the village of ottery st. catchpole to her parents, pandora and xenophilius lovegood.

she loved that house, not minding if it looked crooked or unstable, because it was not. she did not mind the clutter or the strange noises that came from her parents’ work–with her mother working on her spells and her father churning out at the printing press. “our house is alive,” her mother always told her, and she believed it.

her parents gave her all the freedom to do whatever she wanted. there was never a shortage of little things to do and tinker with. and so she played with dirt, gears and screws, inks and paints. she planted a tree of dirigible plums with her parents when she was three, and filled the living room walls with her own scribbles and paintings at eight.

her father told her storied about fantastical creatures that she had never seen before, but had felt their presence. her mind feeling a bit fuzzy? it was the wrackspurts of course. she pored over volumes describing these creatures, and other events that her father had told her was true. she loved learning about these things, and dreamed of finding them one day.

but her mother, oh, how much luna adored her mother. she would watch her as she scribbled over tiny sheets of parchment, testing out spells and potions and whatever she could think of. she learned not to jump as much at sparks and explosions, because they were soon followed by her mother’s laughter. “sometimes spells fail, and so we try again.”

one day, however, she heard an explosion from her mother’s study but she did not hear her laugh. she waited for a bit. her father was away doing some shopping. slowly, she creeped up the stairs, into her mother’s study and found her lying on the floor, her eyes open. luna did not cry. she lay beside her mother and snuggled into her arms. when she woke up, she saw her father standing over them, wailing and trembling.

she cried in the nights that followed. she missed her mother deeply. she cried when she got her hogwarts letter, and she cried when she got her first wand, but always in private.

in her first night 𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙜𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙨, she did not cry anymore. she got sorted into ravenclaw, like her parents before her.

she did well in her classes, with her favorites being charms, care of magical creatures, and defense against the dark arts. she loved learning, and often talked to her professors after class to talk more about things she was interested in.

luna soon realized, however, that not everybody knew about nargles and wrackspurts and crumple-horned snorkacks, and many, if not all of them did not believe her. she did not expect that everyone would be the same, but she did not think that many of them would make her feel so different, so alone.

of course she had some inkling that the other students were hiding her things, she was called ��loony’ too many times, sometimes even to her face, but the nargles could have done that, couldn’t they? the wrackspurts too. hogwarts was full of them.

she was not angry, no, or at least she tried not to be. besides, she enjoyed solitude. and the friends that she did have, they were more than enough.

𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

best friend (ginny weasley? or anyone else)

close friends

a crush

a weird friendship, someone you would not expect to hang out with her

bullies

All Draco wants to do is be a wandmaker, but to do so he needs to understand the soul of trees. Of course, the only man who might be able to help him is the one man who is more of a mystery to him than any tree.

Excerpt:

"Can we sit for a while? This is one of my favourite spots."

Draco nodded.

All around them beech trees spread their branches wide, and the canopy was aquiver with their leaves. Light moved in patches on the forest floor, carpeted with old leaves, and in the shade of the trees the day was comfortingly warm rather than overly hot.

They sat in silence, watching the trees. Draco was aware of Potter beside him, of his tatty t-shirt over brown skin, of the hair that curled at his neck, of the broad hands that knew how to speak to trees.

"I don’t have a wand," Potter said, very quietly after a while. "I don’t know if you’ve noticed."

Draco turned to him. Potter being so quiet, and so still, made this seem important. He nodded. "Wandless magic. Are you… are you really that powerful? Is what they say about you true?"

"No," said Potter, sounding pained. "It’s not that at all. I barely use magic now, only for important things like containing my fires," He glanced at Draco’s leg, "Or setting broken bones." He paused, and took a deep breath. "Do you remember when we used to talk, in eighth year?"

"Yes," said Draco. "For a time, you were the only person who did speak to me."

"I’m sorry." Potter’s voice even more small and tight. "I want to be able to say I didn’t realise how alone you were, but… I did know. And I still ran away."

Draco thought about it. "It must have been bad, whatever it was, for you to run away."

"It was," Potter said. His hands were moving, wrapping over themselves in his lap. "I started to use magic to hide what I was feeling."

"A spell to dampen feelings down?" Draco hadn’t heard of such a thing before. A part of him yearned for it though, was immediately drawn to the idea that he could simply wave his wand and make all the difficult feelings recede.

"No," Potter whispered. "Worse. I used magic. Powerful magic that I could feel coursing through my body. It… for a while I didn’t feel like me."

This Draco had heard of, but he would never have imagined… never Potter. Some witches and wizards became almost addicted to powerful magic. Ultimately, it could destroy them as they sought out darker and darker magic.

"What happened?"

"Ron and Hermione worked it out. I thought they were too wrapped up in each other to notice, but I was wrong."

"So you came here."

"I needed to get away. I left my wand behind."

"That’s why they were so worried when you left!" It made sense now, of the way it had been splashed so much across the headlines. It had felt like too much, even for the Chosen One. If the Ministry had known Potter had left his wand behind, they would have assumed the worst.

"And then something happened when I got here. The trees… they saved me."

Draco stayed silent. It didn’t seem the time for comments or questions.

"I didn’t know where I was going, or what I was doing. Like you, I arrived in Marseille first – I took a random Portkey from the collection I’d put in my bag – and then I simply walked. I followed a stream, I ate the bread I had carried with me. I bought more food from the villages I passed. And then one day, when I’d barely slept and my whole body felt as though it was vibrating with pent-up magic and grief, I stood beside a tree and put my hand to the trunk."

"And you felt that… that…"

"That peace. That strength. It was as though a switch had been flicked, deep inside me. When I touched the tree the shaking in my body stopped, and I felt only stillness and the slow flow of sap through wood."

If Draco hadn’t felt it for himself, he never would have believed Potter.

"And then when I let go," Potter continued, "all the terrible feelings came back. I slept that night wrapped half around the tree, just to get to some peace."

"And you decided to stay."

Potter pointed at a large beech tree, the nearest to where they sat. "It was that tree."

Draco stared at the tree that had saved Potter. It rose, tall, calm, majestic. Oblivious. "It happened here?"

"I still like to sleep wrapped around it."

Suddenly everything shifted, and the world looked different to Draco. It was as though blue had become green, or the sky changed place with the Earth. He’d thought Potter eccentric, maybe a bit potty, but instead now he saw that Potter still lived with all that pain and grief, exactly as he had done when he’d run away ten years before.

"I learned that I didn’t need a wand to do magic, not in the woods. I use the trees; I channel magic through them, and somehow it… softens the magic. Gentles it, and me," he added.

"And then I turn up and all I talk about are wands."

"It’s been… it’s been OK. Maybe if you’d been a master wandmaker it would have been different."

"But instead I was a failure and couldn’t feel the trees at all."

"But you can now."

Draco was aware, all of a sudden, of how close they were sitting. The air between them seemed clearer than normal, a crystal clear silence. The beech leaves above them moved, and sunlight rippled in patches around them, and yet everything seemed still. Without thinking, he reached out and touched the skin on Potter’s cheek, touched the stubble there and ran his finger down the side of Potter’s jaw. A vein pulsed beneath the skin on Potter’s neck.

Potter’s lips parted with a shaky inhalation.

"I…"

"I get it," Draco said, his own voice shaky. "I get the pain of it all. The way it never really leaves you. The way it’s easier to shut everything else out than feel it."

"And then sometimes," Potter said, "Sometimes something happens and it feels," he licked his lips, "wonderful."

Potter wasn’t talking about trees, Draco knew that. He moved his face closer to Potter’s face, saw the way his eyes widened. He felt the ground beneath his body, the layers of leaf and dirt, the tangle of roots and worms. Rooted in the earth, rising from it like a tree, he leaned forward and touched Potter’s mouth with his lips. The response he got was immediate: warm and hungry, Potter’s mouth fitted to his own. A groan rose from deep within Draco, and he grabbed Potter’s t-shirt to pull him closer.

He wanted to devour Potter. Consume him. Touch him like a tree, and feel his energy from the inside.

As they kissed, all the jittery feelings became keener, and grew an edge. Draco pulled back when he felt as though his skin might break apart.

"Is this…" His breath was coming in shuddering shakes, and he didn’t know how to feel. Part of his heart was still full of sadness, another wanted to climb into Potter.

This time Potter took hold of Draco, pulled him close again. "It’s OK," he whispered. "Fine, even."

Draco gave a little shaky laugh. Potter’s breath was against his skin, warm and close. Potter kissed his neck, softly, gently, and a different sensation bloomed across his skin: one of warmth.

"Breathe," Potter said, and he sat back. His hand found Draco’s, and he squeezed it. "Let yourself breathe."

Draco took a deep breath, and then another. "Sorry," he said. "It’s all a lot, all of a sudden."

Potter stroked Draco’s hand. "I think you’re amazing."

[ cassidy, 20, pst, she/her + none. ]

wow hi hi !! i’m cassidy, i’m 20, and i reside in the pst timezone ! i’m currently a stressed out of college student and lover of alllll things magical. i haven’t written in the trio era in ages but i love these misfits with my entire heart 💖💖 this is my baby luna aka everyone’s favorite weird girl who i would die for !

ALL ABOUT LUNA LOVEGOOD:

luna has always been strange. perhaps it was because of her family, but she embraced it all. she was never ashamed of being different. however, as we all know kids can be cruel. once the nickname loony lovegood appeared, it stuck.

bc really, who’d want to be friends with the weird girl?

the girl didn’t mind being on her own. besides, she always had animals. animals didn’t care how weird she was or didn’t taunt her for not conforming to their standards. luna thought she was just fine on her own, that she didn’t need anyone.

until she joined dumbledore’s army. she found her people in dumbledore’s army.

of course her and harry bonded over seeing thestrals and the fact that people thought they were both mad. her just mad in general. him for believing voldemort was back.

luna loved her friends so fiercely. she loved them so fiercely that she followed them to the ministry and risked her own life. for them. for justice. because they had something to fight for.

the years just seemed to get worse as they went on. the adults were as useless as ever, and who has to save the day? a bunch of teenagers. nbd.

after the golden trio left hogwarts to research for horcruxes, death eaters ended up kidnapping her and holding her in malfoy manor solely based on the fact that her father was in support of harry.

she was there for months. only escaping after dobby transported them to shell cottage. she doesn’t like to talk about it much– nor think about it. it’s a memory that has been pushed so far back in her brain.

okay let’s be completely honest here, luna doesn’t know she how survived the battle of hogwarts. everything was such a whirlwind from start to finish. she just remembers how drained she was when it was all over.

hagrid carrying harry's body back and seeing voldemort fall at their wands are something that will be burned into her memory forever.

heroes. they were heroes. everyone said so. these kids defeated the dark lord! they were on the front page everywhere. yet, it is true what they say. the heroes always fall the hardest.

she doesn’t feel like a hero. she just feels sad. because voldemort might be gone, but so was everyone else.

her mom died right in front of her eyes at age nine, her friends died in front of her eyes at age seventeen. she was starting to think it was going to hurt forever.

she eventually went back to hogwarts to finish up her education. of course she didn’t have to. but she wanted to, no matter how hard it was. luna lovegood was a proud graduate of hogwarts.

currently, she’s a magizoologist. animals have always been her passion and she couldn’t think of a better job. it makes her feel alive. something since may 2, 2014 she’s struggled with.

she’s been in therapy for a few years now and honestly? it’s been helping her deal. she still has nightmares at times and a lifetime full of PTSD, but she’s healing.

her motto is even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise and even has it tattooed on her rib cage.

the sun will rise and we will try again.

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

friends.

ride or dies.

roommates.

enemies.

exes.

old friends.

crushes.

and lit anything else? i suck at connections bye don’t @ me.

#listen... this is a whole ass mess and i apologize #nox.intro

five times luna gave ginny flowers (and the one time ginny gave luna flowers)

Ginny wasn’t expecting visitors, not after her family had left, so when her curtain rustled around her hospital bed, a brief moment of panic went through her. A thousand thoughts went through her, mostly coming down to one panic-filled plea.

Please don’t let it be Tom.

She held her breath but released it when a quiet female voice asked if she could open the curtain. Tom would never be so timid.

“Yes,” Ginny found her voice eventually, wondering who could be on the other side of the curtain. It opened and Ginny found herself facing a familiar Ravenclaw student from which she shared several classes with.

“I heard that you were in the infirmary and I thought you’d like some flowers.” The girl says in lieu of a hello. Ginny racked her brain for a name. Luna Lovegood, the odd Ravenclaw that had gotten detention for daydreaming.

“That’s um- thank you,” Ginny says, surprised. Luna takes the flowers from behind her back and Ginny’s eyes widen at the sight of them. There were only three, delicate-looking white flowers that emitted a gentle glow. They weren’t bright enough that you couldn’t look at them, but they were gentle enough to chase away the lingering shadows of Ginny’s closed off infirmary bed.

“They’re moonflowers,” Luna says, placing them on the nightstand. “Whenever my room became too much for me my mother would go pick some from the garden. They catch nightmares, turns them into light.” Luna smiles, and Ginny returns it, brushing away the tears that came from her eyes. She wasn’t allowed a light with the other patients in the infirmary, but no one had said anything about having flowers.

“They’re perfect!” Ginny exclaims a little louder then she meant too. Her hands go to her mouth and both girls waited for a brief moment to see if Madam Pomfrey to come and lecture them about proper infirmary etiquette.

When she didn’t come, both girls fell into a bout of stifled giggles.

From that moment on, Luna was Ginny’s closest friend.

Luna sits down next to Ginny, putting a flower crown in her hair as she went down.

“Tell me all about your trip to Egypt,” Luna says while Ginny adjusts the crown on her head. “Did you run into any crocodiles? I heard that they liked to cry.”

“No crocodiles,” Ginny says, smiling brightly. Luna was picking at the grass beneath her legs, her jeans a bright purple color. Ginny always liked how Luna wore so many bright colors. “No mummies either, there was a sphynx, but it was sleeping.”

“A shame,” Luna says in her dreamy voice and Ginny laughs just a little. “Next time I go on a trip, I’ll ask my father if I can take a friend.”

“I think I’d like that.”

“You look lovely,” Luna says, watching Ginny as she twirls in her new dress. “You’re just missing something,” Luna’s hand is rubbing her chin, investigating Ginny’s look for the Yule Ball.

“Neville forgot the flowers,” Ginny says, rolling her eyes. Neville is a good friend, and you’d expect someone whose passion was in botany to remember to get flowers for a dance. “Ron and Harry only remembered because Hermione reminded them. Boys are really hopeless like that.”

“Oh!” Luna says, standing up from Ginny’s bed. “I can fix that, hold on.” Luna runs from the room and comes back moments later with a small glass cup, and a string.

“What are you-” Ginny starts, but Luna shushes her. Ginny closes her mouth, smiling. She has long since been used to Luna’s eccentric behavior, so instead of asking questions she just let Luna grab her arm and tie the cup and string around her wrist.

“Hold still,” Luna says and pulls out her wand. She waves it around Ginny’s wrist, mumbling quietly. Ginny had never heard the spell before, so she’s not sure what to expect. “Just give the glass a moment to listen to my instructions.”

“Alright,” Ginny answered, always trusting Luna. There’s a moment where she wonders if the spell didn’t work, but soon the glass beneath her grows warm, and she watches amazed as the glass twists and turns and blooms into a corsage of beautiful glass flowers, attached to her wrist with a delicate blue ribbon that had once been an ordinary string.

“Perfect,” Luna says, turning Ginny’s wrist in her hand. “The ribbon doesn’t match your dress though, I can never quite get the color right.”

“It’s lovely,” Ginny says gently, amazed. “I don’t even care if it’s not the right color, its the most beautiful flower I’ve ever seen.”

Luna blushes slightly and twirls Ginny around her dorm. Dancing before Neville would come and pick Ginny up for the ball.

Ginny wishes she could have taken Luna instead.

Ginny is swiping at her eyes, furious with herself. She was foolish to believe that maybe because it was her birthday that her brother would reach out to her, but here she was with nothing from Ron. She didn’t even know if he was alive.

“Wanker,” Ginny says, kicking her trunk.

“I don’t know what your trunk did, but I can help you bury it if you’d like,” Luna says from the entrance to Ginny’s dorm with an amused look on her face. Ginny sighs and wipes at her eyes again, wishing that Luna didn’t have to see her so disarrayed.

“I think my trunk can stay around for a little longer,” Ginny says, trying to joke back. Judging by Luna’s soft expression though, her friend isn’t buying her attempt at humor. “It’s Ron.”

“Ah,” Luna says, walking into the room. Ginny notices then that Luna has a small bouquet of flowers in her hand, they’re brightly colored and seem to shimmer in the light of her room. She sits them on the dresser before pulling Ginny into a tight hug. “He’s okay, they’re all okay.”

“You can’t possibly know that though,” Ginny mumbles into Luna’s shoulder, her eyes fresh with tears once more. “They’re out there fighting off You-know-who and I’m here at school wishing that my brother would just give me that same stupid birthday hug that he does every year.”

“There’s nothing stupid about that,” Luna says, pulling Ginny away slightly so she can wipe away her friend’s tears. “It’s okay to miss them. It’s okay to cry.”

“Yeah?” Ginny asks, and Luna nods, pulling her into a hug once more.

It’s not the lift her body up and twirls her around hug that Ron would give her, but at that moment it was the kind of grounding hug that Ginny needed.

It’s been a year since the war, a year since Fred’s funeral, a year since Ginny had been with anyone.

Part of her had been waiting. Waiting for Harry to come back to her, waiting for her life to go back to before she was a child soldier.

The other part of her had been waiting for Ginny’s head to catch up with her heart.

Luna.

It’s always been Luna.

Ginny wasn’t sure when her feelings had changed, but she can recall the exact moment that she realized that she just knew she wanted Luna to be in her life forever.

She had been doing the dishes after a get together that her mother had insisted on throwing. The whole night had been ruined when George had come in roaring drunk and had started a fight with Ron. Their mother’s good vase had been ruined in the process and George had only stopped fighting when he passed out.

The whole ordeal was a fucking disaster and Ginny had offered to do the dishes while their mother had gone up to be with her passed out brother in his old room.

Harry had gone off after Ron into the night and Hermione had gone with them naturally. In the past, Ginny would have been upset by being abandoned by them yet again, but Ginny had learned that theirs was a connection she would never understand.

Luna, in her usual fashion, had gone outside to fetch something for George to feel better, and so Ginny was left alone. Not for too long though, Luna would never leave her alone for too long. That’s just how they worked.

“I got your brother some sage that’s been kissed by a gnome,” Luna says, walking in through the back door. Her boots are muddy and she has leaves in her hair. In one hand is the sage, but in the other is a bunch of wildflowers that Ginny knew instantly Luna had picked for her to lift her spirits.

“You always know when someone needs some flowers,” Ginny says smiling. Luna smiles back, setting the flowers into her mother’s newly fixed vase.

Ginny isn’t sure when her feelings for Luna turned away from friendship into something more, but the morning after when Luna had been braiding her hair at the table Ginny looked at the flowers that Luna had brought her and decided that right then and there would be a really great time to kiss her best friend.

To say that Luna looked beautiful would be an understatement.

Her dress was white, but the intricate flowers sewn into the lace shimmered in the light, catching the colors around it. Her blonde hair was down, long waves cascading down her back. Instead of a veil, Luna had decided to wear a crown of flowers that matched her dress. Ginny was wearing a similar one. It reminded her of summer afternoons when Luna would make a pair of them to wear as they watched the clouds pass by.

“You look stunning,” Ginny says, walking into the room to see her fiance moments before their wedding. “I’m one lucky witch.”

“We’re both lucky,” Luna says in her dreamy voice that Ginny can’t believe she gets to listen to every day. Ginny smiles and pulls Luna in by her waist, kissing her deeply. They separate after a moment, Luna smiling at Ginny brightly. “You should same some for the ceremony.”

“I was practicing,” Ginny states, going in once again to give Luna another kiss, a shorter one this time.

“As much as I love seeing you in your bathrobe, I think your mother would be a little cross to not see you in the dress she helped you pick out,” Luna says, gesturing at Ginny’s unclothed state. “Why aren’t you ready yet?”

“I had to give you something first,” Ginny says. She guides Luna to sit at the edge of the bed while she pulls out a handkerchief wrapped item from her pocket gently. She hands it over to Luna and waits as she opens it.

There are tears in Luna’s eyes as she undoes the last tuck of the handkerchief, revealing the delicate glass corsage she had given Ginny years ago.

“The ribbon matches this time,” Ginny says. It had been something she had insisted on when her mother was making adjustments to her dress. That the blue from the ribbon was in her dress.

“I love you,” Luna says quietly, voice filled with emotion. Ginny feels the same and knows that they both look like a bunch of lovesick teenagers

“I love you too.”

THE BASICS:

Full Name: Luna Lovegood

Label: The Dissonant Serenity ( x )

Nicknames: Looney, Luns

Birthday: February 13

Birth Place: Near Ottery St. Catchpole

Gender: Transwoman

Sexual Orientation: Pansexual

Occupation: Student

INTERIOR:

Blood status: Halfblood ( Pureblood father, halfblood mother )

House: Ravenclaw While Luna does show qualities that belong to other houses ( she’s definitely courageous and noble, has a deeply proud streak that often brings her more bad than good, and is a loyal and kind person ), she fits best in Ravenclaw. It’s where she can flourish, where she can feed her endless intrigue with everything around her. I think Luna is a true Ravenclaw, as she uses her sharp mind in most situations she’s in --- I chose innovative as her defining positive trait for a reason; I think Luna is able to look at situations with an unique perspective and because of this, she often brings good solutions and/or insights. She’s an original, incredibly stubborn when it comes to her convictions, and always down to learn.

Wand: Pine wood, unicorn hair core, 14 inches, inflexible. Pottermore on pine wood: “The straight-grained pine wand always chooses an independent, individual master who may be perceived as a loner, intriguing and perhaps mysterious. Pine wands enjoy being used creatively, and unlike some others, will adapt unprotestingly to new methods and spells.” /// This, I think, perfectly fits Luna --- she’s a strong individual, who is definitely an experimental and creative person, both when it comes to magic and other aspects of her life. I chose an unicorn hair core, because wands with this core struggle to perform Dark Arts -- like Luna -- but are very faithful -- like Luna. Her wand is long, as she’s quite tall and has a strong sense of self, and is inflexible because she’s most often an incredibly stubborn person.

Boggart: Her mother’s death scene --- it’s what scarred Luna most, even if she doesn’t admit that to herself. It’s a memory that startles and shakes her, one that’s been buried down due to the trauma linked to it --- seeing it again, experiencing it again ( especially knowing what the outcome would be, what the long-term effects would be, how much the longing would ache ) would be one of the scariest things for Luna. It could also take the shape of that scene, but with her father in stead of her mother; losing her father is another great fear.

Patronus: The Hare

Pets: None, but then Luna doesn’t really believe in the idea of pets. Animals are their own, after all, and she feels connected to plenty of them. Cats from her housemates, the thestrals, mice running around the hallways; she loves all of them, but none of them are hers. At home, there are often stray animals hanging around --- she and her father tend to them, if they need help, and Luna does sometimes name them ( carefully, though, because what if these creatures have a name of their own already? ).

Moral Alignment: True Neutral. Luna looks at the world with a bit of a distance, at time, and is able to look at situations with objectivity, when she wants to. She’s not apathetic, though, or coldly distant; she just acts without prejudice or compulsion. And more than often, she does do what is morally good ( and she does lean towards being neutral good very much ), but I think that the way she views the world and how she approaches things is more true neutral than anything.

Tarot Card: The Hermit

Goals / Desires: Luna wants to do what fills her heart. Make art. Discover the world. Research magical creatures. Those are all things she would like to do with her future life, but then there’s more --- she wants to do what is right. With a sense of justice -- or, well, more a deep hatred for injustice -- she is motivated to take strides to make the world a little brighter and better.

PHYSICAL:

Height: 178cm / 5′10

Eye Color: Pale grey

Hair Color: Light blonde

Clothing style: Where can I begin? Luna’s style can only be defined by her own person --- I don’t think there’s anyone else who dresses similarly to her, haha. She makes plenty of her own clothes, likes accessories made of unconventional objects, adores a bit of magic in her clothing. She likes colours, especially pastels. When she wears shoes, she likes converse. Mismatched patterns are always good. Flowy dresses? Yes please!

Left handed or Right handed: Left handed

Distinguishing Features: Her hair and eyes.

Tattoos or scars: Usually has some minor scars from animal or branch scratches, that fade easily.

FAMILY:

Parents: Xenophilius Lovegood ( father ), Pandora Lovegood néé Henneberg ( mother, deceased ).

Siblings: None

Children: None

FAVORITE:

Book: Luna doesn’t like picking favourites, but she really loves her old picture books still, mostly for sentimental reasons & because she likes illustration. She mostly reads non-fiction these days, preferring her own fantasy over fiction.

Movie: N/A -- Luna has never seen a movie, sadly. I think she would love studio Ghibli, though, as well as documentaries ( both nature and more conspiracy theory based ).

Food: Strawberry bavarois

Flower: Lily of the Valley

Season: Spring

Animal: This one is so hard, haha. Luna loves animals! I think she feels especially close to thestrals, but she’s also simple in the sense that she really likes cats and bunnies.

Memory: The summer she and her parents went to Iceland.

THIS OR THAT:

Cats or Dogs: Cats

Mornings or Nights: Mornings

War or Love: Love

Smoke or Drink: Smoke, if it’s weed. Otherwise drink.

Coffee or tea? Tea

Writing or reading? Writing

THOUGHTS:

Death Eaters coming back Luna is rationally scared and quite frustrated. She also has her fair share of theories on Voldemort’s return ( none that conflict with Harry’s story, though, just ones that fill the gaps ), some more logical than the other. She and her father have had many discussions about these --- like the role Fudge played in it all ( bigger than in reality, of course ) and whether the Death Eaters are using midges to communicate.

Enemies coming back Luna doesn’t necessarily have enemies that are personal. I suppose she’s not looking forward to seeing her bullies again at Hogwarts, but she doesn’t consider them enemies. As for enemies that aren’t personal, those are mostly the Death Eaters ( as well as the Ministry and a few Quidditch teams ), and for that see above!

Loved ones coming back Luna thinks she will see her mother again already, but if it were to happen now, she would be incredibly surprised and more than happy --- she’d be euphoric. And confused, and very lost, but mostly just incredibly happy.

Love At First Sight Luna thinks that love exists in an infinite amount of ways, so love at first sight as well.

One True Love / Someone You Will Always Love She will always love her father --- it’s an unconditional love, and if we look at his canon future and how he ends up selling out her friends, that is something she will forgive him for.

QUESTIONS:

What is their family history like? How does it affect them? How do they feel about their family? How does their family feel about them? Pandora was born to a muggle and a witch, and raised by her father alone. And, being able to see the magical world through her father’s muggle eyes, she grew interested in the limits of magic from a young age. She began experimenting with charms early on, and met Xenophilius at Hogwarts, where they bonded over their love for the unknown and their willingness. Xenophilius comes from the Lovegood family, of course, which has always been a tad eccentric, though never as eccentric as he himself. Luna was born to this set of openminded parents, and it was exactly what she needed to flourish. Her own mind has always been open, but she was able to dream outside the lines with her parents. Growing up was a world of opportunity --- no questions unanswered, no desires unfulfilled. Luna got to paint and run and discover from a young age, and was a perfect mix of her two parents, with some of her own qualities mixed in. Luna is extremely proud of her family. She sometimes pities others, for having parents that restrict them, keep them from all that she did get to do. When people speak ill of her father -- who is a somewhat public figure, and often painted as a crazy conspiracy theorist -- she gets uncharacteristically fiery and angry, and will lash out. Her mother, she is proud of as well, but it’s more complicated than that --- and luckily, people don’t bring her up as often as her father. Of course, a big part of her family history is her mother’s death --- it was a turning point in the way Luna’s homelife functioned. In the years after Pandora died, her father grew codependent on her ( which is not how it should be --- and Luna vaguely knows this, but doesn’t feel any anger over it ), but on the other hand the two grew incredibly close as well. But Luna worries about her father when she’s not near, as he’s of the opinion that tasks like eating, washing and sleeping are meaningless in the grand scheme of things, a waste of time when there’s so many more pressing and interesting things to do --- and it’s Luna who often was the one to remind him that, dad, you’re a human being despite it all. And then her mother, her mother is just a massive gap. And yes, Luna believes that she will see her again, that she isn’t truly lost ------ but that doesn’t ease the waiting, the longing, the aching. Her mother’s death left her with mental scars and a hole in her soul and while there’s plenty of beautiful and comforting things she can say about death, it doesn’t change that. Her mother still died, and she’s not there --- and she will be there one day again, yes, but sometimes Luna just wants her mother now.

Who were their first love and do they feel the same now as they did then? Luna hasn’t really been in love yet, I think. She has had crushes, but she’s never been in love with someone, has never had a connection that deep --- it’s just flings and crushes, connections that lasted just a night, a week, a month at most. She doesn’t mind.

Do they believe that a person can redeem themselves from mistakes of the past? Yes, in most situations --- I think even Luna, an eternal optimist, draws a line here with people like Voldemort and the Lestranges, for example. She does believe in people’s strength to do good and does believe that there’s almost always a way to make up for ones mistakes --- but of course, there are things that are inexcusable. Luna is able to be very unforgiving, though, so sometimes it does take a lot for someone to redeem themselves in her head.

What scares them? Losing her father. The war. Complete silence.

How do they feel about death? Have they been significantly affected by it? On one hand, death is just another mystery --- and Luna does love mystery and life’s bigger ones. It’s a mystery she can’t solve, though, and sometimes she’s at peace with the fact that she can’t have all the answers. Other times, she’s just incredibly frustrated and angry, because death took her mother away from her and there’s nothing mysterious about that --- she’s just gone. One day she will see her again, that she is sure of, but right now she’s a young woman who grew up without a mother and that’s just painful. That just hurts. And that’s definitive. Luna has seen death, and that has affected her deeply. Seeing her mother die at age nine was a traumatic experience that still haunts her -- despite her denial about this -- and it’s triggered her to dissociate from the world around her and herself quite a lot. On another hand, it has given her a bit of wisdom and insight, an ability to understand death perhaps a bit better than others do -- or at least give it her own interpretation.

Pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed and sloth. If your character was a seven deadly sin, what would they be and why? Pride, with anger on the second place. Luna is incredibly proud and can be, because of this, very inflexible. Yes, she is openminded, but when it comes to her beliefs and convictions, she won’t change her mind unless there’s solid proof. When people question her, she doesn’t reflect on her beliefs, but rather thinks that they’re narrow minded and limited. When it comes to her father, she’s quite prideful as well --- she holds him and his work in high regard and if someone dares insult this, she will becoming steely and hard

Do they believe Voldemort is back ? Yes. Why shouldn’t she? When Harry came out of that maze and spoke those words, it was clear that he spoke nothing short of the truth, and you will never find Luna believing the Daily Prophet over someone like Harry Potter. It’s not a truth she likes, but it’s clear to her that it is the truth, and she won’t shy away from that.

PICK THREE:

Lyrics that describes your character best -- Runaway by AURORA ( the whole song, tbh ) ------ I was painting a picture / the picture was a painting of you and / for a moment I thought you were there / but again, it wasn't true / and all this time I have been lying / oh, lying in secret to myself / i've been putting sorrow on the forest plains -- Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac ------ she is like a cat in the dark and then / she is the darkness / she rules her life like a fine skylark and when / the sky is starless -- The Wind by PJ Harvey ( I chose this song for her app more for atmosphere reasons than lyrics, but I wanted to add it still ) ----- Catherine liked high places / high up, high up on the hills / a place for making noises / like whales / noises like the whales / here she built a chapel / with her image / an image on the wall a place where she could rest and / and a place where she could wash / and listen to the wind blowing

Quotes that your character lives by -- “The knowledge of all things is possible” --- Leonardo da Vinci -- “There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.” --- Federico Fellini -- “Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” --- Marcus Aurelius

Fictional characters that your character can relate to Allison Dufresnes from The Little Friend by Donna Tartt. --- All of the quotes on my blog are quotes about her --- she just really reminds me of Luna in a lot of ways. Both of them saw a family member die at a young age and both of them were damaged by it. Both of them deal with dissociation because of their trauma, have trouble with communicating with people at times and are described as a dreamy, soft, vague. They also both have a soft spot for animals. Orla McCool from Derry Girls. --- Orla just ... screams Luna. Both have convictions that others think of as wacky, naive or just downright nonsensical, both make incredibly out-of-the-blue comments that do, somehow, make sense. They’re both a bit ignorant of social cues and don’t have much of a filter. But they aren’t just similar in that sense, they’re also both very loyal friends. ALSO when Orla danced with her grandpa? That’s Luna and Xeno. Spot on. “Protestants hate ABBA.” -- Orla. “Purebloods hate ABBA.” -- Luna. I’m just SAYING. Phoebe Buffay from FRIENDS. --- I feel less passionately about this one than the two above, but I just think that Phoebes role in the group of friends really mirrors that of Luna in the dynamic of her ( future ) group of friends. Phoebe’s optimism, creativity and straightforwardness are also things she has in common with Luna, and honestly? I could see Luna writing a song like smelly cat.

People who have changed your character’s life immensely I think her parents have had a massive impact on Luna --- they allowed her to flourish, to grow, to develop her passions and beliefs and convictions. Because of the freedom she was given as a child, she’s been able to grow into who she is now. Her mother’s death, of course, has impacted her life greatly as well. Ginny is also on this list, I think, as one of her first friends. :’)

Hi how do I become a male witch for real to support to women I love who is a witch and because I'm honestly curious and interested in being a male witch

✧･ﾟ:* Sᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴘʀᴀᴄᴛɪᴄᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʀᴀғᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ʟᴇᴀʀɴ sᴏᴍᴇ ᴍᴀɢɪᴄᴋ ᴀs ᴀ ᴍᴀʟᴇ ᴡɪᴛᴄʜ! *:･ﾟ✧ Merry Meet! ☆ Thank you for being my first ask! First I would like to begin with the fact that being a witch means something different to everyone.

” Witch for me is my most powerful self. Deeply grounded. Always healing and protecting myself and those I love. Bending attraction into my direction. Spreading peace and love wherever I go. Respecting nature. Following my intuition. Calling on my guides. Working with my inner wolf. Connecting with myself on all levels. Increasing my vibration. Meditation. Gratitude. Love. Light. This is what witch means to me. ” -Lunas Grimoire " I think that magic plays a part in my day-to-day effort to visualize goals, deal with problems, and connect myself to nature. Spells and visualization are all about intentionality and channeling your life force!" -HS “To put it simply, witchcraft is the practice of magick. This isn't to be confused with magic, which is what magicians do. Magick is a series of techniques a witch uses to harness energy (both external and internal) in order to change one's surroundings as well as one's self. It's also important to note that being a witch is not the same thing as being Wiccan. Unlike witchcraft, Wicca is a religion. However, it is common to meet witches who are Wiccan and vice versa. And most importantly, anyone can become a witch. Witchcraft is truly for everyone.” -The Witch Mommy ☆ So what is a witch?! ”First, many people do still use “witch” to mean “someone who worships the Devil and/or evil and who engages in gratuitous malevolence.” Present-day Witches generally feel that such a definition of “witch” results merely from Christian politics and propaganda. True, there are now “Satanic” churches, the most prominent having been Anton LeVay’s Church of Satan and the Temple of Set, and its members do call themselves “witches,” which certainly confuses outsiders. However, as J. Gordon Melton has pointed out, the members of these churches are actually atheistic, hedonistic, and egoistic in their ethics. Pagan Witches regard Satanist witches as Christian heretics and not Pagan at all. Setting all that aside, we can look at the more positive usages of the term.First, “witch” is often used to mean “someone who practices some form of magic.” But “folk magic” is ubiquitous, and those who practice it usually consider themselves to be devout members of the faith community around them, just with a special gift. They very rarely seem to think that their magical practice constitutes a unique religion. Nevertheless, there are quite a few such “magical witches,” and they logically must be considered part of the Craft movement.Second, “witch” is often used to mean “someone who has and uses unusual psychic talents.” It can thus be applied to Spiritualist mediums, to clairvoyant readers, to diviners, and so on. Again, such people almost always consider them to be members of the surrounding faith community, just with a special talent, and likewise do not regard that talent as constituting a different religion.Third, “witch” is now (and only recently) used to mean “someone who honors or worships the Old Gods” of whatever pantheon, though “Pagan” is also used with this meaning. Here the self-concept is that one is pursuing a religious path different from that of the surrounding community, but such pursuit does not necessarily involve any use of magic or psychic talents.It is only within the Pagan movement as inspired by Gardnerian Witchcraft that these three different meanings have been bundled together into the current concept of the Pagan Witch as practicing a unique and magical religion.At first, before the rise of the festival movement in America about 1980, a fourth meaning of “Witch” was included in this bundle: “someone who has been initiated as a member of an organized group (yes, a coven) that practices Witchcraft as a Pagan religion or as an apprentice of a master teacher of witchcraft.” Once the festivals had evolved to provide people with a way to celebrate the Wheel of the Year, and once enough “how to” books had been published to give people all the information they needed to practice the Craft as a solitary or only within their own families, joining a coven was no longer the only way to follow Wicca or a more generic form of Witchcraft as a spiritual path.There had been some solitaries even in the 1960s and 1970s, but as a result of the festivals, around 1980 the movement divided into two categories, one being a laity, who now constitute at least 90 percent of all Witches in America, the other being those who have been initiated into and practice the Craft within a coven or equivalent group. However, a First-Degree initiate of a coven is not regarded as having any special authority or expertise, given that anyone can learn from the published books about 99 percent of what that initiate would know. Instead, there is another level of meaning.” -Aidan Kelly Before you get started you must understand, there are many different paths or well types of witchcraft. ☆ The most common types usually include: 1: GARDNERIAN WITCH: A Gardnerian Witch is someone who follows the belief system of Gardnerian Wicca, which was created by Gerald Garner in the 1950s. Gardnerian Wicca is hierarchical system that consists of a high priest and priestess as well as various initiations. So, one is not a Gardnerian Witch until they have learned their specific traditions and have gone through proper initiation. 2: ALEXANDRIAN WITCH: Alexandrian Witchcraft is like Guardian Wicca in that it is a formalized belief system which contains it’s own traditions and initiations. Alexandrian witches follow some of the similar traditions in Guardian Wicca, but also incorporate ceremonial magic as well as the Qabalah. 3. SOLITARY WITCH: A solitary witch is someone who performs spellwork and rituals alone and without a coven. This may be by choice, or perhaps they just haven’t yet found a group of fellow witches they would like to work with. A solitary witch can incorporate various different paths based on their interest and may or may not use witchcraft as part of a wider spiritual path or religion. 4. ECLECTIC WITCH: An Eclectic witch is someone who pulls from various witchcraft traditions for their spellwork and rituals. They rely on a variety of different cultures, beliefs, and systems to formulate their own personal witchcraft practice which may change and evolve over time. 5. TRADITIONAL WITCH: A traditional witch is someone who takes a historical approach to witchcraft. They look at old grimoires, witch trials, various witch lore, and historical accounts to lay the foundation for their own spells and rituals. Often traditional witches focus on working with the nature and history of the place they live and may work with the genius loci, or the local spirits. 6. HEREDITARY WITCH: A Hereditary witch is someone who was born into a family that practices witchcraft. Usually their knowledge is passed down through generations and each family may have their own traditions and belief system. Though, just because someone is born in a witch family it does not necessarily mean that they will be more knowledgeable or powerful than a non-hereditary witch. 7. HEDGE WITCH: A Hedge witch works with the liminal spaces and the spirit realm. In the past a ‘hedge’ would mark a boundary of a village or settlement and thus represents the boundary between our physical reality and the spirit world. A hedge witch may be skilled at crossing that boundary through practices like astral travel. 8. KITCHEN WITCH: A kitchen witch enjoys making their home and surroundings a sacred space. They often like to incorporate witchcraft with their cooking and put their energy and focus into to the food and the meals they create. They care deeply about the ingredients, and may have their own herb and vegetable garden. 9. GREEN WITCH: Green witches are extremely nature based. They are likely to be in-tune with the seasons and often use natural materials to create their own magical tools. They most likely try to perform all their spellwork and rituals outside in nature when possible. 10. COSMIC WITCH: A cosmic witch incorporates astrology and astronomy into their witchcraft. They most likely closely follow the alignment of the planets and they will often will coordinate their spells and rituals based on the location of the planets and the moon. ☆ Labels.. Labels.. and more labels! Also, here are a few labels that are commonly passed around as well! It’s very important to remember that labels should never limit your practice. These are just classifications that I find useful in describing myself, and others have used to describe themselves. This list was made purely for fun. This is, by no means, a complete list. You do not have to ‘fit’ into any of these. A person’s craft is unique to them, that’s what makes it so awesome. (Warning: you may see some repeats from the previous list!) Omni Witch: A bookworm and a know it all, this type of witch studies and practices all the fields of magick. They are innately curious about everything, and love to learn. They are talkative and eager to share the massive amount of knowledge they have absorbed. Eclectic Witch: The Boho witch. She uses a combination or mix of whatever paths suit her best. Typically specializes in 2-4 different sects of the craft. She often will wear a mix-match of clothing, but enjoys long flowing things. She tends to be very random and eccentric, but is friendly nonetheless. Kitchen Witch: This type of witch uses easily obtained items and weaves magick into every aspect of their life. They are particularly fond of cooking, arts and crafts, sewing, cleaning, gardening and baking. They are skilled in potions, herbology, and subtle magick.

Star Witch: Not to be confused with a Space witch, who works with all of the cosmos, primarily aliens and astrology. Star witches draw their power from constellations, stars, and the sun. They love star gazing, have star charts hanging on the walls of their room, and never miss a meteor shower. Very chipper individuals who always want to go to the planetarium rather than out to see a movie or to the park. They may also work with planets as well as stars.

They are empathic individuals and always feel things to the extreme, there is no middle ground with them. Its black or white. Winter Witch: Witches who reside in the colder climates of the world. They cast snowstorms, collect hail and make poppets from snow. Blizzards are their best friends. They love cold weather, and usually draw their power from the snow and clouds, rather than the sun or the moon, as neither are usually very visible during storms. Despite their chilly disposition, they are warm and friendly once you get to know them. Sea Witch: These witches hone their craft near a body of water, and center their practice around it. Some sea witches will work with fresh water, such as rivers or lakes (in which case they will usually call themselves ‘river’ or ‘lake’ witches), some with the ocean. Sea witches without immediate access to a body of water are called ‘land-locked’.

Witch of the Waste: Desert witches who work with sand and limited supplies. Hardy herbs are their best friends and they often use a lot of bone magic. They have an extensive fossil and skull collection and are constantly pouring over old field guilds for their local area. They can whip up sandstorms in the blink of an eye, and befriend scorpions, snakes, and coyotes alike. They are an enduring species of witch, weathering everything the world has to throw at them. Few things dampen their spirits. Urban Witch: City witches who graffiti sigils on abandoned buildings, grow herbs in pots in their apartments and are very technologically savvy.

They use dance in their practice, and are very physically sound. They may practice one on many kinds of dance, or even martial art. And they do so skillfully. They are usually very quiet people, but not at all shy or unsure of themselves. They would rather express their thoughts through movement and body language than actually speaking.

Astro/Space Witch: A witch who works with aliens. Usually very paranoid individuals, they adore star gazing, always know when the next astronomical event is, and love the documentary TV Show ‘ancient aliens’. They are usually adept at astral travel, astrology and sun magick. Demonic Witch: These witches work with Demons. They differ from Exorcists in that they actually summon them and get them to go their bidding, rather than casting them out. Can usually hold a grudge a hella long time. Not people to mess with. Stubborn and bull headed. Otherkin Witch: A witch who is Otherkin. They relate to an inhuman or an animal in either personality or spirit, or believe they are a reincarnation of such.

An example would be that a Felinekin might like using catnip in their rituals, and might call on Bastet, Sekhmet or Freya in their magick. Ceremonial Witch: A combination of ceremonial magic and witchcraft. They focus on rituals and formal casting of magic. With robes and altars and everything.

Hereditary Witch: Someone who is born into a witch family and brought up learning about witchcraft, or folk magic. They take great pride in certain traditional magic passed down through the generations. Secular Witch: A witch who does not involve religion in their craft. Now that you’re a bit more familiar with the paths and labels- ☆ Let’s hit the books! Many people assume that becoming a witch simply means giving yourself the title of witch and then casting the occasional spell. This would be like buying yoga pants and mala beads, and calling yourself a yogi. But the truth is, becoming a witch takes a lot of hard work, discipline, and time. Therefore, after you decide which kind of witchcraft you are interested in, it's time to start studying. In order to learn about your craft, get your hands on as many books and articles as possible. Thanks to the internet, you can now watch videos online about becoming a witch, and you can even take witchcraft courses. Being a novice witch can be very overwhelming, so it's also a good idea to find a guide. An experienced witch can recommend reading, teach you some techniques for spells, and encourage you along your journey. ☆ Next gather your supplies!! You can never have to much in my opinion! Of course, you may also wish to buy some supplies in order to practice magick and cast spells. While you don't need to buy everything at once, here are some of the most common witchcraft supplies and tools: Mortar and pestle: These are used to mix herbs and other ingredients in order to create your blends and remedies.

Crystals: Crystals can help purify a sacred space before a ritual, as well as provide healing and protection.

Wand: This is a short stick (often selected from specific trees) used to cast a circle

Salt: Typically used to cast a protective circle

Book of Shadows: This is where you will organize and record things you are learning within the craft, as well as spells and rituals.

Herbs: These are used in spell workings, rituals, and magickal preparations.

God and Goddess statues: Used to decorate the altar and as a focal point during rituals, to draw attention to a particular god or goddess.

Altar: This is where you will hold sacred space, practice your craft, as well as keep your crystals, statues, and other witchcraft supplies. While there is more we could include on this list, these are the basic supplies witches use. As you refine your area of focus, you will have a better idea of the supplies that your brand of witchery calls for. ☆ What about spells?! Now, you're probably wondering, "Ok, but how do I cast a spell?".. The truth is, as frustrating as it sounds, there is no exact answer on how to cast a spell. This is because every witch is different and every witch has their own path. This means that a spell that works for one witch may not work for another. Learning to cast spells that work for you takes research, practice, and introspection. That being said, it can help to have some basic guidelines to get started. Then, you can tweak spells based on your own individual needs. This Simple Pleasures in Life spell is a great place to start. As you can see, becoming a witch and practicing witchcraft involves a lot more than just waving a wand around. ☆ Witch Youtube Channels: https://www.youtube.com/user/VideoJamGarden https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZfyjjVFNqNBLRg6p964AWQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO6HYyldrzr3fTUWXLyJ3yg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChHS4NI6U4XgCuYgsrygVCA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoJQafFd9es78EhaqXl4WNA ♡ All credit goes to their due sources. ♡
