#happy battle of Hogwarts anniversary (may 2)

Your voice is my favorite sound -- Neville Longbottom x gn! Reader

Summary: Nevile begins rambling about plants and Neville apologizes for talking too much. Reader assures him that they do not mind at all.

A/N: Reader and Neville may or may not be dating. It’s up to you <3

Happy reading! :)

Neville had been rambling on about plants for the last 6 minutes. You didn’t mind. You liked plants as well, and you loved learning more from Neville. You also loved it when he felt confident and comfortable enough to talk as much as he was right now.

“ohandmynewfavoriteplantisohmymerlinitssooooooocoolandithealsanditsfriendlyand [oh and my new favorite is oh my Merlin it's soooooooo cool and it heals and it's friendly and]- oh my Merlin I’m so sorry I’m talking so much. I’ll stop now.” Neville says abruptly, cutting himself off.

“What? Why?!” you questioned.

“Well- because- I-… am I not talking too much? I mean most people tend to get annoyed and tell me to shut up and-”

“Then those people won’t get to hear all the lovely and helpful things you have to say,” you responded with a smile, indicating that you weren’t annoyed in the slightest and that you wanted to hear more.

“Oh… um… thank you. For saying that.”

“Well, I meant it. I love listening to you. I could listen to you talk all day, although I don't know if I could go all day without accidentally interrupting when I get excited,” you chuckled. “But honestly, I love it when you talk, and I love talking to you. And you're super helpful. I've learned a lot from you and the information you share is extremely useful.” Neville grinned widely but sheepishly all the same. After a pause, he spoke again.

“So then, would you… like for me to continue?” he asked nervously.

“Of course!” you replied positively.

“Really?” Neville asked. His surprise that you wanted to hear him talk broke your heart a little bit. Even though the two of you had been close for a while now, he still wasn’t always sure of himself, even about simple things. You knew you had to say something to reassure him and demonstrate just how much you truly did love to hear him talk.

“Neville,” you began. Neville looked way more nervous than he should’ve. You gave him a smile to ease his worries as you continued. “Do you know what my favorite sound is?”

He pauses, taken aback by the seemingly sudden question, but not necessarily thrown off by the randomness in of itself. You can be pretty random at times, but he doesn’t mind. He thinks for a moment, then responds,

“Um, n-no. I don’t,” he responds, awaiting a revelation that he will surely take note of later, so as to not forget.

“Your voice.” You smile, and Neville looks like he could burst with joy and like he can’t believe his ears. It seems he really can’t believe his ears because he asks for clarification.

“M-my voice?” he asks tentatively.

“Yes.” you smile sweetly, and Neville swears he looking at the kindest person he’s ever met and ever will meet, “your voice.” He smiles even wider than before, and you swear his brightness puts the sun to shame. He continues to tell you more about plants and you continue to listen faithfully, adding in a few questions and thoughts of your own along the way. Neville’s jubilance doesn’t fade one bit for the rest of the day, and you could swear he must’ve worn his smile to sleep because he was still grinning a bit when you saw him the next morning.

Random Fandom Recs, Vol 2: Banner Edition

No real theme, other than they're all Snarry 😅

If you haven't noticed, I've been on a bit of a Canva-craze, making all sortsa images to accompany my self recs!

For my own, I've sorta moved away from a proper banner shape...I've been using the "Instagram post" size for...you know...Instagram. And I don't feel like making 2 versions of stuff...anyway, not the point.

THE POINT IS, I was having so much fun I ventured into throwing images together for fics I love! And it seems a shame to not show them off, so what better way than another rec list??

After surviving the Battle of Hogwarts, a long convalescence, and a short trial, Snape walks free and promptly vanishes from Wizarding society. Six years pass before he shows his face again. A lot can change in six years, and a romantically disillusioned and inebriated Harry hits Snape up for a friends-with-benefits arrangement. After all, they share an experience most people have never had: they both know what it's like to be dead. Their liaison works surprisingly well until Harry's reckless behaviour as an Auror leads to unethical practices and personal calamities, and things start to fall apart.

Ever since the horcrux in his head is gone, Legilimency comes easy to Harry. It’s nearly laughable how easy it is, considering how much he used to struggle with it back in his fifth year. But he reckons half of that had been Snape’s fault anyway. Who on earth would enjoy the nasty git invading their mind?

But as life as Harry has known it changes, Harry’s opinion on the matter changes with it ― rather drastically so if he’s being perfectly honest.

It’s been 24 years since the Second Wizard War at Hogwarts. The famous Battle of Hogwarts, were many beloved characters died. This day is always been a day of remembrance and used be a hard day for me personally as my favorite character Severus Snape had been killed this day as well. But today I don’t feel sad, I feel actually okay and a little happy because this day has now became even more important to me. It was already so important to me, but now I have a a good memory for when I get sad on this day. A year ago on this day of usual sadness, I meet a rather practical person. I never thought they were going would became a important to me. I never thought in general I would find another person online that would became one my best friends. This person has made possible a Roleplay that I always have wanted to do and never thought possible. We have our ups and downs like ever friendship. But it is learning as we go and it been a roller coaster. I’m glad meet this person. They taught me a lot. Happy one year of friendship anniversary to the one and only, Mo or other words @trash-000.

And happy 24 years to all my Potterheads. Have a self care day. You deserve it. We will remember this day. Always.

So Doctor Who is making Thasmin canon. I don’t know how to feel about that. It hard to see Doctor with someone other then River and Rose. I still wanted River to meet 13th. But I don’t think it will happen. Which is sad. I hated Clara. I never shipped her with The Doctor. But Yaz, she is great and does show her emotions for the Doctor, that she true does love her. She does remind me of a little of River. But not a lot. She is her own person. Anyone else having a hard time with it? I don’t want to seem like a hater. I never shipped them in the first place. I didn’t want them to be thing. But now it is and it is showing representation. Everyone thought they won’t do it. But the BBC did. I’m glad. I’m open to anyone telling me how they feel about it? No hate. Respect ships. As long as it not illegal.

Dan really knew all along. I love him to pieces.

End of the Tunnel: I

Description: It’s almost been a year since Freed Weasley was lost to the Battle of Hogwarts, and for George Weasley it might as well be an eternity. He is lost in the dark, no color to be found. Until suddenly there might be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Warnings: (future as well as present) suicidal thoughts, smut, angst, fluff, depression,  attempted SUICIDE, self harm, torture, mentions of torture

A/N: So, this is pretty dark, just FYI. There will be happy moments but a lot of the time it will get pretty dark. Trigger warning applies now, just be forewarned. Please enjoy though if you are willing to suffer through the tragedy to get to the light at the end of the tunnel.

MASTERLIST

***

The world ended on May 2, 1998.

At least it did for George Weasley.

He was not dead, of course. His mother and father still loved him. Bill, Charlie, Percy, Ron, and Ginny all still hugged him. His business was doing splendid, far better than it ever had before the war, Ron was even helping him run it. And yet, the world felt as if it no longer turned because Fred was gone and that was all that really mattered.

May 2 had been awful, but the funeral was even worse. Friends, family, and strangers wanting nothing more than to hug him or shake his hand when all he wanted to do was destroy everything that touched him. He hadn’t shed any tears that day. He figured he was all out, but now that he considered it, he was sure he had just grown numb.

He had never had a problem smiling before, and even in the winter he was constantly warm, denying every coat his mother sent his way. And now, he was sure he had forgotten how to smile and even in the hottest part of July he wore a sweater, fighting off the chills that ran along his spine.

His mother had pleaded with him to go to therapy, to talk to someone about the tragedy but he had refused. There was nothing a therapist could tell him that he didn’t already know.

He knew he was depressed; he knew Fred was never coming back, and he knew he needed to move forward. He had no interest in reliving the moments when he had witnessed the cold lifeless body of his twin lying on the floor of the school they had once attended. All he wanted to do was the lock the door to his new flat and never come out. He had considered returning to his home above the shop but every time he thought of the memories he had built there his stomach churned and before he knew it he was emptying the contents of his stomach into the nearest sink. So, he gave it to Ron and Hermione and bought himself a smaller one.

He was laying in the bed that occupied most of the studio flat, thinking about the day he moved in as he struggled to get up. The walls were grey, and the bedsheets were white. He hadn’t bothered to buy curtains, so the dingy light of the cloudy morning was highlighting the dust he had let build up over the months. No pictures hung on the walls; no Knick knacks sat on the shelves. Dishes were piling up from the last spout of motivation, not that he ate a whole lot these days. Most importantly, there were no mirrors. He had ripped the bathroom one from the wall and shattered it in the street the moment he moved in, completely satisfied with giving up his security deposit for a little bit of sanity. His world was completely colorless. His skin was pale and the warmth that had generally resided in his face had seeped away like water from a washcloth. In fact, the only color one could find in the small room was his hair, shining just as brightly as it had the day the world ended.

He had dyed it once. A dark brown, the most boring color he could think of, but the moment his mother had seen it she burst into tears and begrudgingly changed it back, if only to avoid the dirty looks that Ginny shot him through the very uncomfortable family dinner.

Today was the first of March, and George could feel the anniversary of Fred’s death drawing nearer with every movement of his body. His muscles ached and his bones creaked like an old rocking chair no one had touched in a century.

As he laid there he considered never getting up, but eventually with great effort he pulled himself from the cold sheets and pulled on the dullest clothing he owned. A grey tailcoat covered a white button up and black slacks, severely pressed hung a bit short over his ankles. The shoes were so old they no longer shined. He didn’t bother brushing his hair, sure that the howling wind would mess it up anyway.

He left the door without eating breakfast and turned down the street in the opposite direction of the store. He couldn’t bare to go to work today, and Ron could handle it.

Ron had gotten a lot better at handling it.

He was right about the wind, it battled against him like it was trying to force him to go to work, but he pushed on, determined to spend his day in miserable loneliness. Somedays he imagined Fred was screaming at him from the clouds, telling him to stop being a git and move on with his life, but he had never been good at taking orders. So, without any regard for the signs of the universe he continued to push on, wrapping his arms around himself as he tried to keep warm.

In honor of his mood, it began to pour and before he knew it, he was drenched to the bone, the neat he clothes he had donned pressing tightly against this skin. By now he was in a muggle town he had never been to. The streets were completely empty, no one wanting to get caught in the torrential downpour.

He was going to turn around, go home if not to work, when he heard a voice shouting through a roll of thunder. He glanced around, searching for the source, and was met with the sight of a woman hailing him towards her store. He looked behind him, checking for someone else, when he heard a sharp laugh.

“I’m talking to you, silly. Now, come in before you catch a cold,” she called, stepping into the rain to usher him closer. He walked quickly, ducking through the doorway as he followed her inside. He watched as she shoved the door closed against the atrocious wind, the bell jingling ferociously overhead. When she had succeeded, deadbolting it for good measure she turned to face him. She wrung out her blonde hair as she studied him with bright eyes (they reminded him an awful lot of what his used to look like). “What on earth are you doing out in this weather?” she laughed, and he shrugged, unsure of how to approach the situation. He had not been met with such glee in an exceptionally long time. When he didn’t respond he smile faded and concern rested heavy on her shoulders. “Are you alright?”

“I don’t think so,” he muttered, and she nodded.

“Then I think you need a drink.” She ushered him to barstool and disappeared behind the counter. “Butterbeer or tap?” His eyes snapped to her when she mentioned the magical drink. “Butterbeer then.”

“You’re a witch?” he blurted, and she laughed, shaking her head.

“Oh no, but I know my customers, and you are clearly a wizard.”

“How can you tell?”

“The wand in your tailcoat.” He glanced down and sure enough, a faint outline of his wand was visible against the fabric. “No need to obliviate me though, I’m no snitch. I’ve had all types in this little pub of mine, vampires, werewolves after a particularly bad night, wizards, what you call muggles, I’ve even had a couple goblins gamble in my back room, no bias here.” He didn’t say anything as she twittered on, setting the mug in front of him and leaning on her elbows as she took him in with earnest curiosity. A few minutes of silence before she spoke again. “Do you want to talk about it, that’s what bartenders are for to hear all your tragedies while you drown them in the best liquor we have?”

“Who are you?”

“Hannah Gladdis. And you are?”

“George Weasley.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“How old are you?”

“Nineteen, twenty in June. You?”

“Twenty-one in April. How’d you come to own a magical bar at nineteen?”

“It was a tragic thing really, last year the owner died in a war with your sort. I was a waitress then, but he left it to me in his will, so now it’s all mine. Honestly, I’m surprised I survived long enough to own it, luck I guess.”

“What happened?”

“These men in masks came and tore the place apart looking for the owner, shouting something about blood traitors, but he wasn’t in. It was just me, hiding right behind this counter praying that they wouldn’t find me.”

“Did they?”

“Yes,” she whispered, fear creeping into her eyes as she thought about the night she was describing to him. “They used two spells. One made me feel like I was on fire and the other made me bleed, I can barely remember it. The whole thing was awful, by the time they were sure I didn’t know I could barely move. They set the place on fire and left me to die, still hunting for him, I guess since he’s dead now. Somehow someone saved me, I don’t even remember them but they must have performed a counter curse because I got out with only a few scars, but you would know all about those,” she said noting his missing ear. “Were you in the war?”

“Right in the center of it. Do you have any firewhiskey?” She nodded and dropped beneath the counter and pulled out the familiar bottle.

“I’m sorry for your loss.”

“How do you know I lost anyone?” he growled, and she offered him a sad smile.

“I lost friends and I’m not even a witch, I figured a hero right in the center of it wouldn’t come out unscathed. Also you’re missing an ear.” He grunted and threw back the shot of liquor she had poured. “You won though?”

“Sometimes it doesn’t feel that way,” he mumbled, and she nodded, taking one of his hands into hers. He watched her hands cradle his as if he were the fragile one, but he could see the scars that were etched into her fingers. He ran is thumb along one of the more prominent ones. When he glanced up, she was biting her lip, eyes focused on the thumb that was stroking the harsh scar. He whispered her name, but she didn’t move. He said it again and this time her eyes met his. He wanted to say they were blue, but that didn’t seem quite right. Her dark eyelashes were hanging heavily over them, casting shadows into the two small pools of ocean that stared back at him. He was going to say something more, let the light buzz from the liquor take control and pull her against him, but she moved away before he could. With an awkward laugh she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and pulled herself a shot, downing it just as quickly.

“It’s not even noon,” she laughed to herself and he shrugged.

“I’ve been drunk before noon before, nothing to ashamed of.”

“Isn’t that a sign of alcoholism?”

“Not that I’ve ever heard of before.” He flashed her a tight, unpracticed smile that made his heart cringe against his ribs but it seemed to work. Pink washed over her cheeks and she was quick to busy herself among the empty glasses, searching for one to clean.

“So, what’s someone like you wandering the streets during a downpour?”

“Escaping.”

“By catching a cold?”

“Or something like that.” She laughed awkwardly, running a damp washrag over the top of the bar, avoiding eye contact at all costs, and it was killing him. He wanted to look into her eyes all day. He had to think of something, do something, say something that would draw her back.

“Why didn’t the Ministry take your memories?” he asked, and then silently cursed himself. Out of all the topics he could have chosen, he chose the one that terrified her. He hadn’t spoken to a stranger so domestically in such a long time it seemed he was out of practice.

“They don’t know, as far as I know they don’t even know I exist. And I would like to keep it that way if you don’t mind.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to forget?”

“To forget what?”

“All that pain and fear.”

“I considered it at first, but then I decided it was better to know what was coming then feel broken all over again.”

“No one is going to hurt you like that again,” he growled, far more aggressively than he had intended and she laugh, taking his hand and finally allowing their eyes to meet once more. She didn’t seem scared when she looked at him, it was if she almost wanted to believe him. She really seemed to believe the idea he could chase away her nightmares. He knew he would disappoint; he could barely chase away his own.

“You sound so sure, George, but alas, you won’t always be sitting in my little bar to protect me.”

“Then come home with me.”

She was shocked to say the least, at least that’s what her eyes said.

“I barely know you.”

“Then get to know me.”

“I’m working.”

“You said it yourself, no one is out in this rainstorm.” He sauntered towards the window and flipped the sign around and locked the door. “And anyways, it seems you’re closed.” She studied him closely, and he was acutely aware that she was still holding his hand. Finally, she nodded and for the first time in ten months his heart jolted with joy. He spun her around the bar and caught her in his arms. “Ready?”

“For what?” she began to ask but they were already gone, whipping through the air as he apparated them to the small flat.

She was laughing when they landed, clutching her stomach as she tried to catch her breath.

“My god, that was exhilarating,” she gasped. She was still holding his hand, tighter than ever. He watched her as she looked around and cursed himself for not keeping the place cleaner. “I like your place.” He was sure she was lying; it was so dull and lifeless it was almost a prison cell. The counters were dirty, and the trashcan was overflowing. “It could use a little color, but maybe that’s the beauty of it. I can never decide how to decorate so I’m constantly having to remodel, this way I can just close my eyes and imagine the walls orange.”

“Orange?”

“Or maybe a soft teal, I don’t know, it depends on my mood.” He caught him smiling again for the second time on the day he woke up feeling like death. She was like a ball of sunshine and she was standing in the little place he called home. For the first time since he had been born, he found himself wishing his home was bigger. Even when he was a kid he had never cared, but now that there was someone he was dying to impress he wished he owned the minster’s mansion.

“It’s not much…”

“It’s lovely.” Color tinged his cheeks and now it was his turn to busy himself in the kitchen.

“Would you like some tea?”

“Oh, yes, why thank you,” she said as she glanced out the window, “What part of town are we in?”

“Just on the edge of Diagon Alley.”

“Oh really! I’ve always wanted to come; I’ve heard it’s absolutely beautiful. Wow, a real wizard town. Is it true what they say about Hogsmeade?”

“It depends on what they say,” he chuckled, bathing in her excitement. It was a welcome tone, something he had not felt since months before the end of the world.

“That it’s absolutely picturesque. Someone showed me a post card once, and I called her a liar, told her nothing but a painting could be that beautiful, but she assured me it was all true.”

“She wasn’t lying, if you want, I’ll take you sometime.”

“Wow, not even a first date and you’re already promising to whisk me off to some beautiful village in the countryside.” He blushed when he realized what he had said, abashed that this woman had gotten into his head so quickly. He had never been so infatuated with anything. He turned quickly, spilling hot tea over the side of his hand, but he barely even noticed. Her eyes were big and blue as she stared at him, cheeks pink and lips parted. “George…” she began but the teacups hadn’t even hit the ground when he was taking her into his arms and kissing her as softly as his feelings would allow.

She tasted like Christmas. Cinnamon from the firewhiskey and butterscotch from the beer tainted her lips like frosting on cake he had only eaten in a distant memory. He wanted to throw her to his bed and devour her, experience every inch she would allow him, but her tentative fingers stopped him. He was stranger who had apparated her to his flat in a place she did not know, and now he was doing everything in his power to ravish her like the goddess she appeared to be.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered, pulling away as far as he dared. He was not sure he would ever be able to be far from her again, not when he knew how wonderful she was. She stepped forward, still hesitant, and cupped his cheek in her hand.

“No, don’t be. That was brilliant.”

“Then would you mind if I did it again?” She laughed and leapt into his arms, pressing her lips against his. He had never understood people comparing others to home, but as he wrapped his arms around her and he felt her fingers unbuttoning his shirt as fast as she could manage. His hands dropped to the hem of her shirt, prepared to pull it off and admire her entirety but she jerked back. He stopped immediately, pulling away as he searched her face for what he had done wrong. She wasn’t looking at him again, eyes crossed over her chest as she shuffled her feet.

“I’m sorry,” she mumbled and he shook his head, taking her cheek in his hand.

“Don’t be. Tell me what you want. If it’s nothing then we’ll do nothing,” he whispered and with tentative fingers she brushed the place where is ear had once been. He wanted to pull away, but he didn’t dare, not when she looked like she was going to break.

“Very few survived your war without scars, even us muggles.” She pulled her hand away and took a deep breath before pulling her shirt over her head. He watched it hit the ground before trailing his gaze over her skin. She hadn’t lied. Scars were etched across skin that had once been soft. They were harsh and angry, still red after what he had assumed was months of healing. Silence crept into the room as he stared, anger coursing through his veins as he imagined the kind of pain that had caused these scars. “Say something,” she whispered, words catching in her throat.

“If I ever find who did this to you, I will not hesitate to kill them,” he growled and she let out a short laugh. “I’m not kidding.” She leaned up and kissed him softly, gratitude laced in every touch. He pulled her closer, fingers trailing the scars that plagued her. They tipped into his bed with unexpected grace, laughing between kisses. Quick fingers undid his pants and he followed suit, exposing soft skin raked with more scars. She didn’t pull away anymore, in fact he was sure she was trying to get closer than possible. Her legs pressed against his hips as her fingers explored every inch of skin. He flipped them over, admiring her against the bedsheets, blonde hair spread out like a halo. He leaned down and kissed her softly as she giggled against his lips.

“Don’t leave me,” he whispered before he could stop himself and with all seriousness she nodded.

“Not in a thousand years.”

[vespiiqueen]

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box of the last 10 people who reblogged something from you (if you want !! 💛💖)

Wow I rambled a lot with this but i can't add cuts bc I'm on mobile rn DHSISHSJ sorry :"))))

.

.

1. Ik Ik "haha how cringe are you" of me to say, but honestly? Homestuck. Homestuck helped me in a time of need and when i so desperately wanted something to latch onto. Finally, I caved into my friends telling me to read it-- and it's been a blast!! The epilogues / hs^2 make me feel kinda sad though, because so much of what I loved about the original was yeeted through the nine circles of hell and into the trash. I love Y/ffany's (I call her Yippi tho) design, the art is really pretty at times, Harry is a major dork, I LIVE for seeing Vrissy bc honestly?? Her design is 10/10, very early 2000s emo style and I also live for that. Tavros is cute and a nerd and I think that's swell!

But in terms of story and how any of this happens, it makes me sad to see it happen. If Vriska could return as Vrissy, why not OTHER beta trolls? Where's my Eridan fish man, writers?? Give me the boy or perish by my fury.

2. Also super "haha how cringe are you" but,,, murder cats (Warriors), esp the early 2005-2015 amvs and stuff. I remember watching Flightfootwarrior's "I Will Not Bow" Scourge amv for HOurs and having no clue what was happening, but all these edgy kitties were KITTIES! It's introduced me to a lot of music I still listen to to this very day (Imagine Dragons, Young/the entirety of Hollywood Undead, Breaking Benjamin). And yknow what?? This new arc is absolute chaos, but in the good way.

I'm an "OG Fan". I prefer the first arc, The Prophecies Begin, to almost any of the other arcs. I just could never get into the other arcs-- not to say I haven't read them, I HAVE and the Fire Scene was probably one of my favorite moments beside grumpy Jaypaw, god complex Lionblaze, and fear the gods Hollypaw. I thought the build-up for it was SUPER satisfying. Gray Wing is my baby and I fully embellish in the Gray Wing is Silverpelt theory.

This new arc is definitely something new for the universe. While I didn't read aVoS (but I may do that if i can find the files for it), and so I don't know the major events of it other than what I've seen M.A.P.'s (Multi-Animator Projects, for clarification,,, bc unfortunately that term is also something disgusting). There's fucking cat possession and all the Clans questioning their belief system, yo. Shit be on fire.

Also the Imposter is 100% Ashfur, that's canon now, yeah??? Also im sorry but fuck Root x Bristle that's the dumbest shit I have ever seen. Give me Root x Shadow or face the wrath of my dragon plushies.

RiverClan is my Clan and my gov assigned warrior name is Fireshell 🌟🌟

3. As much as I hate the author,,,,, Harry Potter. It's been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can never really remember why, but I've always just loved it- the movies, the books, the extra little merch that would pop up in my local Walmart. Of course my favorite character is Draco Malfoy. I could go on and on and ON about how I think his character arc was SHIT and JKR didn't have the balls to make him a confident gay man that was always implied through the text (at least, my lesbian ass thought it was implied but i may just be projecting, idk). I could ramble about Draco for HOURS and what I think his character SHOULD have been and how his parents are horrible (more specifically, Lucius bc Narcissa [?] Actually showed a few good moments), and a child should never have to pay for their parents sins.

Oh noo, Draco's a villain because he's a victim of major abuse and peer pressure? He's a villain because a literal child can be horrible and they'll always always always stay as a horrible little fiend?? Fuck that. He's a child.

Unlike manchild grease pan Snape, who was a racist piece of shit and shouldn't have became a fucking school teacher but it's okay because he was ~~~in love~~~. No, fuck you, he was a creep. James Potter n Co may have been a little posh bitch to you, Snape, but that's no fucking excuse to continue to bluntly be a little cunt all the way into adulthood. You're an adult who flatly changed your PATRONUS to imitate Lily's. You have no excuse. And Harry went and named his child after you LIKE JESUS CHRIST, DID RON'S SISTER NOT HAVE A SAY IN THE NAMES TOO?????

I also fully adore the idea that Muggles can run into Hogwarts and their patronus can 100% be a made up, fantasy creature. Imagine you learn the patronus spell and suddenly fucking ARCEUS comes from your wand. Imagine learning the spell and CHTULU (i did not spell that right but im so tired) comes from your wand-- an entire ass fucking Lovecraftian, Eldrith horror is just the embodiment of you. What if it was a fucking Homestuck character like Vriska? How fucking METAL would that be?? Hskajssowjjsjs get on it fandom.

4. Hee hee very evident by my url but Pokemon is another major thing of mine. While vespiquen isn't my favorite (that title goes to Hydreigon), it is definitely up there!

I've ALWAYS enjoyed the idea of Pokemon. You run around, training up these fight monsters and collecting them. I remember playing my sister's Ruby version on her flip-up Gameboy. I couldn't even read but I ran around catching god only knows how many of the same pokemon wherever she was. Apparently, I had fought for hours in the same area and leveled her Blaziken up to lvl 50 something and left her lvl 30s in the dust LMAO.

I got my first game when it was Pearl/Diamond. It was Pearl, and it still holds a very fond place in my heart. I could barely read, I could barely write-- I had named my Turtwig something along the lines of "MmorpHy" and my player boy "ZbsibJ". Yes I remember the names slightly. I really didn't get far-- I barely got to the first gym but I was just so happy to play it.

I eventually lost the game, as a 5 year old would do, but I can still vividly remember what was happening when the game arrived. I had just came back from the dentist and was quite tired from fighting the dentist bc I was super scared. Mom suddenly handed me a box and said it was mine-- my overseas (at that time) dad had bought me Pearl and my sister Diamond, because I lost my shit about it when he visited one time.

Well, tdlr, I played it for about five minutes while struggling to stay awake against the loopy gas they made me take. I fell asleep listening to Twinleaf Town's soundtrack. Every time I play a rom of Pearl and I get to where the player's house fades in and I hear that first tune of the song, I get a huge smile on my face and cry-- as.. Weird as it sounds.

A few years later, I had gotten Pokemon Black bc I liked Reshiram on the cover. Now, this one I could actually READ when playing, but I don't remember a lot of things about it. I probably lost this one too, as a 8/9 year old would do. I DO remember, I chose Snivy and my sister chose Tepig (hrmm there's a theme here of grass/fire goin on......) and vibing to the music. I was so amazed by the sprites moving, I just kept getting into encounters to see the sprites move (oh boy, no one tell younger 7-9 y/o me about Zelda......oh wait....)

Playing Pokemon NOW, as a 17 year old """gifted""" chick, I stil have very fond memories. I recently beat Pokemon Black again and GOD the OTS SLAPS. I fucking adore the soundtrack-- the track that plays when you battle a trainer, the low health dings being turned into a legit song that also slaps, the battle! gym leader themes-- and oh my gOd, the legendary theme is amazing? It really tells you just how glorious these pokemon are supposed to be. It's not intimidating like Groudon/Kyroge/Rayquaza's themes. It's not action packed like Palkia/Dialga's is, it's not filled with tension like Giratina/Arceus's is-- but it radiates the GLORY that the beasts portray. And I live for that. (Also, Kyurem's version is my favorite because it glitches in the beginning and that's rly cool)

P/D/P and BW/BW2's stories, imo, are some of the greatest ones. Yeahhh, US/USUM's is cool and I haven't played XY nor SwSh-- but the ones I can find memorable are PDP and BW/BW2. I love N. I love Barry. They're my sons. Ghetsis is fucking terrifying, Cyrus needs a hug. Giratina scared the piss out of me when I was younger, which was NOT helped by Giratina and The Sky Warrior.

I think my favorite movies are the gen 4 ones. The Rise of Darkrai having a tear-jerking theme for such a mysterious pokemon (i still tear up when i hear Ocarion), Giratina being spiteful is a mood and Shaymin was cute, Arceus being angry is also a mood. Yeah, Pokemon 4Ever made me cry my eyes out over Celebi, Mewtwo Returns made me again cry because Mewtwo accepting who he is, I remember how vastly different the BW movies are-

I just. I have a lot of memories with the series, even if Gamefreak and Nintendo kinda do the series dirty a lot (your top-grossing thing and you made That monstrosity for the Switch? How dare you.). It's comforting to be stressed and pull up my roms for the games and to play them. Mystery Dungeon is incredibly fun to play, Pokemon Ranger is really fun with the concept (Shadows of Almia continues to kick my ass to this very day and FUCK the Jungle Relic, I hate the Water Challenge fucking gyarados bullshit). I remember the pokemon I got for MD (I got Time, my sis got Darkness) was Mudkip, if that is any help.

I love my little fictional pixel monsters.

5. Yup, someone told tiny 7-9 y/o me about console games. The legend of Zelda. My first Zelda game was Twilight Princess on the Wii and BOY did I play the fucking SHIT out of that game.

Honestly, looking back and looking at playthroughs now-- I still love TP. Twilight Princess is still one of my top favorite Zelda games-- yes, even after playing OoT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, the anniversary four swords edition for the DS where you could play by yourself (Nintendo pls bring that back, I don't have friends to play it with ;-;), Phantom Hourglass- ect.

Something about Twilight Princess grabbed me by the head and yeeted me into the world. I can remember playing it for hours with little to no breaks. I, a tiny 9 y/o, had gotten the hang of the controllers and managed to get past the tutorial quite easily. And then, I was launched into the game and I wasn't stopping for NOTHING. Mom and Dad would have to force me to save and get off to go and eat dinner. THAT sucked.

I had done everything on my own up until the first temple, the forest temple. Not where/when you saved the dumb kid, but when you were saving the spirit's light. Theeeeeeennn I got stuck on the fucking Forest Temple for deadass six months straight. I'd play for hours, running around in circles, unable to figure out where to go, and because I didn't grasp the temple's purpose of being that way- I'd get angry and get off. It wasn't until dad looked up a walkthrough and talked me through what I was supposed to do that I learned how to get through temples.

I had gotten to the last little fight with Ganondorf before the Wii broke and i could no longer play. Despite the Wii being broke and we got rid of it, I was ADAMANT on keeping the game, and I kept that game for YEARS. It was an original copy out of a sealed box, and I eventually lost it when I left it accidentally at my now ex-friend's house.

She had a Wii and I went "hey I have a Wii game!" And I brought my Zelda over. Worst fucking choice of my goddamn life. Mom called me to come home and said I couldn't sleep over like the original plan was, and that was it. My ex-friend stashed my Zelda and I never saw it again. And, even if I wanted to-- I couldn't get it back, which makes me upset. We had a BAD falling out. She likely doesn't even remember it's there, or sold it to the local game junkie kid who buys ALL games.

But I still love the game. Midna was amazing, and I loved how snarky she was and she has a very cute design! The game's OST is fucking phenomenal. Midna's Desperate Hour makes me cry bc goddamn it really sells how serious that situation is. I love Hyrule Field's theme in this game. I love the Twilight Realm's song. Zant was fucking hilariously scary. Ganondorf's design in this game scared the piss out of me when I was younger.

Midna and this game's Link and Zelda are def my favorites. Yeah yeah, Sheik is cool and all I Guess but dhsushwishs Midna holds the special place in my heart. She was totally my gay awakening BUT

For other game antagonists, I adore Ghirahim-- let's go you funky little queer-coded villain. Skull Kid was great, I love the entire dynamic of him. Prankster lost soul stumbles upon Majora's Mask and the mask makes him act out due to powers-- which, I actually took very heavy inspiration from for one of my OCs. The moon falling to Hyrule was a fucking terrifying looming threat.

But the game series holds a place, and I've yet to be able to play BoTW-- although, I'm fairly certain I'll like it. The playthroughs I've watched of it are all fairly decent! I just. Gotta save up enough money to buy it haha.

Dang guess I gotta go watch a Twilight Princess playthrough again.

Honorable Mentions:

Avatar: the Last Airbender, specifically Book 3

my OCs definitely make me happy, they're my children and I'd ramble A LOT longer if given the chance WHEEZE

My friends, but I didn't add them here bc it's more fictional stuff, I presume

Baking. I love to bake cupcakes.

Painting is fun. I'm an artist and goddammit im going to use painting as an excuse to make a mess.

Fire. I rly like fire, down to a pyromaniac level. However, i hate the fires that happened to my home town, the Great Smokey Fires of 2016-- THAT pissed me off. How dare you burn mountain landscapes to the ground. Perish.

History. I'm a history nerd.

I'm also a science nerd.

But fuck math, I cannot comprehend math to save my life.

For some reason, I rly like learning how the human body works??? like did you know, organs are actually sticky when touched by a bare hand?? Did you?? How fucking cool is that.

Bakugan. I love Bakugan, esp the DS game. I love my Darkus Leonidas. Give me back the online world, you peasants-- I want my Darkus Dragonoid. (Also fuck all my friends from when I was in kindergarten- my theory that Alice was Masquerade was somewhat correct.)

Although pretty much all of our fic recs are for Louis/Harry fics, we recently received a request for a non-Larry bottom Louis fic rec list. In order to make that anon and whoever else may be interested in this happy, this list features fics with Louis/Liam, Louis/Zayn, Louis/Nick, Louis/Niall, Louis/Luke, and Louis/Greg. And after this, it’s back to our usual Louis/Harry fics.

There is a second part to this rec list that has been posted here. Check it out!

1) And Then Relief | Liam/Louis | Explicit | 2050 words

The first time Louis kneels for Liam is almost an accident.

2) Longer Night | Luke/Louis | Explicit | 2067 words

What happened after the 'Long day' photo was taken? Probably this.

3) Rough Trade | Liam/Louis | Explicit | 3328 words

It was Liam, wearing those boots and filthy fucking jeans slung tight around his hips and loose everywhere else, like they were meant for him. To say nothing of the sleeveless situation and black fingerless-gloves and his, frankly, unfair arms.

4) And I’m Walking In | Liam/Louis | Explicit | 3344 words

“What do you want?” Liam asks, moving them back to the bed, pressing Louis down and looking at him. He quirks his eyebrow, runs a hand down Louis’ chest. “We’ve got all night, you know.”

Louis swallows. “I thought—thought you said something about fucking me?” His voice cracks on the last word. He’d be embarrassed but Liam’s just pulled his shirt off and tossed it to the side, and fuck, that’s always the sexiest thing Louis has ever seen. “Getting your mouth on me?” he finishes, a whisper in Liam’s ear.

5) If You Ask Me To | Zayn/Louis | Explicit | 3698 words

Zayn and Louis are friends who fuck. It's nice.

6) Baby Go On Twist The Knife | Zayn/Louis | Explicit | 4390 words

Zayn left the band without a word to Louis about it. After three years of being in a relationship Louis had expected more, so when Zayn had tried to get into contact with him afterwards Louis had felt very justified in ignoring every single one of his texts and phone calls. But it's been months now and Louis knows he needs to start getting closure on what happened between them, and when he goes to Zayn's house to collect all the things he'd left behind he ends up accidentally falling back into bed with him and realising that maybe he isn't ready to let go.

7) Clearly Intended For You | Liam/Louis | Explicit | 4455 words

“Look, you’re in university! It’s like the time for you to, y’know, experiment and try anal once or nine times,” Louis says in what he thinks is a comforting, calming voice.

8) When It Gets Loud, I Turn It Up | Greg/Louis | Explicit | 5405 words

Louis and Greg have a dinner party. People think he's the cute little boyfriend... but truly he's slightly slutty (but only for Greg). When all the guests go home, Greg carries him upstairs. :)

9) Taste Too Good | Greg/Nick/Louis | Explicit | 5609 words

Note: This is locked and can be read by AO3 users only.

When they pull back for air, Louis is panting.  “God,” he breathes, lips pink and wet and parted, pupils already blown.  “Is that that, then, or do you want to fuck on Grimmy’s bed?”

10) And When I Hit That Dip Get Your Camera | Liam/Louis | Explicit | 5719 words

He's pretty well known in the industry at this point and he likes to say with a certain amount of nail shining and hair flicking that he’s kind of a gay household porn star name now. (Louis is a gay porn star, Liam's strapped for cash and agrees to make a gayforpay video - basically PWP.)

11) Flawless | Greg/Louis | Explicit | 5732 words

Greg has a thing for Louis and his flawless body.

12) One Shift At A Time | Liam/Louis | Explicit | 6372 words

Liam's first few months on the job in the paediatric ward as a junior doctor would be easier if the head nurse didn't hate him. They would probably be even better if he could do anything about the hopeless crush on said nurse.

13) Wild Is A Fire | Nick/Louis | Explicit | 6653 words

Nick has a kink. Louis uses it to his advantage.

14) Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better Than You | Nick/Louis | Explicit | 7991 words | Sequel

Basically, Louis and Nick have grumpy sex and ignore their feelings.

15) I'm Just A Reader, You're Every Chapter | Zayn/Louis | Explicit | 8274 words

Zayn and Louis are uni roommates, Zayn may have a crush, and Louis can't handle it.

16) Nothing You Can Fake | Nick/Louis | Explicit | 8742 words

Nick is not sure what Louis Tomlinson is doing at the Breakfast Show’s one year anniversary celebration.

17) And I have Promises To Keep, Miles To Go Before I Sleep | Nick/Louis | Explicit | 9042 words

“Also… grateful if you don’t cum and tell.” Louis keeps going with his fingers, now dancing dangerously close to Nick’s crotch and Nick is hard, he is really fucking hard and it’s not nice of Louis to tease him this much, especially not in a bloody bathroom belonging to Harry Styles of all people. “Because I don’t usually do this you know, and I don’t need a reputation of getting to the place I am today by spending time on my knees.”

18) Something Personal | Nick/Louis | Mature | 10570 words

Nick is a young, renown neurosurgeon. Harry is his worker-minion. Liam is Harry's new boyfriend. Louis is Harry's best friend and an absolutely wretched little monster, and Nick is stupidly, stupidly in love with him.

19) He Walks Like A God | Liam/Louis | Explicit | 10754 words | Sequel

Fame hit faster than one of Liam’s fists and Louis didn’t want to duck the punch.

With Liam’s rising fame after every fight Louis doesn’t want to be left behind for all the glitz and glamour by the best friend he secretly loves with all his heart.

Hopefully one of those knocks to the head will make Liam realise that the person who was made for him has been standing in front of him since they were 10 years old.

20) You and Me, Baby | Nick/Louis | Explicit | 11455 words

Three or four days, stuck in a cabin alone with Louis Tomlinson. Honestly, Nick doesn't know what he did to deserve this bad karma, but he hopes it was worth it.

21) Not A Bloody Thing | Nick/Louis | Explicit | 14875 words | Sequel

This thing that Nick has with his intern's friend really isn't a big deal.

22) Get Another Coal On The Fake Fire | Nick/Louis | Explicit | 16452 words

Note: This is locked and can be read by AO3 users only.

In Louis’ defense, this had seemed like a smashing idea with high potential for success six weeks ago when he’d first thought of it. // “I get that you’re jealous and all,” Zayn adds, “because—we all get it, yeah? Harry’s got like a million mates now outside of the band and he’s never around when we’re home—but it has never occurred to me that this problem might be solved by one of us sucking Grimmy’s dick.”

23) I’m Not Looking For A Lover | Zayn/Louis | Explicit | 20006 words

Zayn has recently come into possession of a fortune he wants little to do with and time he doesn't know how to waste. And then there's Louis, someone who can solve both of these problems even though he has his own load of baggage. They meet in New York.

24) Nothing Is More Fantastic. Nothing Is More Tragic | Nick/Louis | Mature | 20162 words

After the Breakfast Show and after One Direction, Nick and Louis find themselves in the same place at the same time.

The place is Paris.

25) Heart Out On My Sleeve | Niall/Louis Explicit | 29277 words

After Zayn drops out of Hogwarts just before their last year in Slytherin, Louis is left adrift. In a high-level Charms class tasked with finishing the rebuilding of the castle, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with Niall Horan of Hufflepuff, and learns more than he expected along the way. (A Harry Potter AU set eight years after the Battle of Hogwarts.)

26) Truly, Madly, Crazy, Deeply | Liam/Louis | Explicit | 29744 words

In which Liam and Louis wake up married after Zayn's bachelor party in Las Vegas.

27) Set the Pace | Nick/Louis | Explicit | 34052 words

It's not always easy, but sometimes it's harder than it has to be. University meets Radio 1 AU.

28) Under Me, So Quite New | Liam/Louis | Explicit | 34135 words

Liam knows what Louis needs, even when Louis doesn’t.

29) We Were Good (Almost Perfect) | Zayn/Louis | Explicit | 40863 words

Zayn doesn't want to leave on a bad note. A hurt Louis still tries to cut him off completely, but then a baby factors in and changes everything for the better.

30) Not Your Fault But Mine | Nick/Louis | Explicit | 127258 words

It's the beginning of Louis' second year at uni, and he's sharing a house with his four best friends in the world. This is going to be the best fucking year ever, Louis can just tell. The best fucking year ever.

R/S Games 2017: Week Three Roundup

We’re doing lighter posting on the weekends, so now is your chance to catch up on Games works!

Day 13:

Team: Sirius Title: Colours Rating: E Word Count: 8700 Summary: Today is their wedding anniversary. It’s the first time Sirius has remembered it, since Azkaban. He decides to mark the occasion. Prompt: E - "We are not the same persons this year as last; not as those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person." - W. Somerset Maugham Team: Remus Title: Nothing On Rating: T Word Count: 1600 Summary: The two-way mirrors didn't always unite James and Sirius. Before doubts and decisions came into play in the shadow of Peter's betrayal, Remus was the keeper of the other side. And maybe, the keeper of Sirius' heart. Prompt: #14 - "It's the friends you can call up at four a.m. that matter." - Marlene Dietrich Team: Sirius Title: A Day Like Any Other - ART Rating: M Summary: The one where Sirius keeps receiving unwanted mail, Remus drinks a lot of tea, Peter's out on a hot date, and James is offering unwanted make overs. (Or the answer to the question of exactly how many cursed letters can you flush down the loo). Prompt: #39 - "We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.” - from the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard

Day 14:

Team: Remus Title: The Purpose of Stonehenge Rating: M Word Count: 20,000 Summary: Follow Remus on a journey through the sacred summer solstice ceremonies in four different years, taking place at Stonehenge. 1977, when Remus and Sirius first started dating. 1982, the summer following the Potter deaths. 1992, the summer after Harry started at Hogwarts. And 1998, six weeks after the Final Battle. Read along as they both sacrifice and receive gifts from the gods. Was it worth it? You tell me. It is canon-divergent, but only where necessary. No graphic sex, but it is there, though it’s mostly skipped over. Prompt: #105 - Picture of Stonehenge at sunrise. Team: Sirius Title: Honey Rating: PG Word Count: 1500 Summary: Sirius’ reality has changed. And while he’s never needed sex to know that he loves Remus, now that they’ve done it, the world seems more concrete. Prompt: #81 - painting: "Dans Le Lit" by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1893

Day 15:

Team: Sirius Title: A Different Man Rating: M Word Count: 2100 Summary: I had made my peace years ago with the knowledge that my Sirius was never coming back to me. Prompt: #38 - "And the wheel that broke as the cart went by. It is not a voice that is under the eaves. It is not speech, the sound we hear In this conversation, but the sound Of things and their motion: the other man, A turquoise monster moving round." - excerpt from the poem “Continual Conversations with a Silent Man” by Wallace Stevens Team: Remus Title: Aduantas Rating: T Word Count: 26,000 Summary: ADUANTAS: a feeling of loneliness or unease caused by being in new or unfamiliar surroundings. A fallen star might be everything Remus needs to turn his entire life around but tracking it down might mean biting off more than he can chew. Prompt: #4 - “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” - Douglas Adams, from the novel The Long, Dark Tea-Time of the Soul Team: Sirius Title: Temptation Rating: T Word Count: 2600 Summary: Quidditch and a prank lead to Sirius acting on his feelings for Remus. Prompt: #42 - "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it." - Oscar Wilde

Day 16:

Team: Remus Title: Hiraeth Rating: M Word Count: 5000 Summary: Hiraeth, noun. Welsh. A feeling of yearning to return to a place that may never have existed. An earnest desire. During the first rise of Voldemort, Remus gets into the spying game. No one told him it would be quite this difficult to lie for a living. Prompt: #13 - "A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image." - Joan Didion Team: Sirius Title: Burning Candles Rating: PG Word Count: 11,000 Summary: Being an adult isn’t anything like Sirius expected it to be, and birthday cakes with a growing number of candles on them is just a reminder that he isn’t on track. He’s not quite certain what to do about it, but sharing his worries with his friends might be a good start. Prompt: #73 - picture of a birthday cake with lit candles.

Day 17:

Team: Sirius Title: Saving Me Rating: E Word Count: 5600 Summary: "I don’t have much to do here other than think about things; what I think about the most is you. It’s always been you, Moony. What a twist on those stories, huh? I fell in love with the big, bad wolf. No princes here, just two bloody fools who couldn’t save each other.” Prompt: #2 - "Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale." - Unknown Team: Remus Title: The Magical Tale of One Man and His Dog Rating: G Word Count: 3700 Summary: Once upon a time a wizard fell through a veil and was reunited with his love. This is the tale of what happened after. A sort of bedtime story about stories, a second chance at life and happy endings. Prompt: #92 - photo of an elderly man walking a large black dog. Team: Sirius Title: Stargazing - ART Rating: G Summary: Sirius stargazing with Remus in the Gryffindor room window seat. Prompt: #19 - “A philosopher once asked, 'Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?' Pointless, really.... 'Do the stars gaze back?' Now, that's a question.” - from the movie Stardust

Day 18:

Team: Sirius Title: Seven Simple Machines Rating: M Word Count: 60,000 Summary: From Azkaban, seven machines for remembering the who, the why, and the what now. Prompt: #38 - “And the wheel that broke as the cart went by. It is not a voice that is under the eaves. It is not speech, the sound we hear In this conversation, but the sound Of things and their motion: the other man, A turquoise monster moving round.” - excerpt from the poem “Continual Conversations with a Silent Man” by Wallace Stevens

Pity The Living

Summary: On the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, a student comes to Neville to offer some help. Neville ends up returning the favour. Warnings for discussion of mental illness. 

Word Count: 1,222

“Time heals all wounds. But not this one. Not yet.” ― Marie Lu, Champion

Read it on AO3

              “Excuse me, Professor Longbottom?”

               Neville looked up from the Flutterby Bush he was tending to see Ellie McEvoy. A third year, the young Ravenclaw was one of his more perplexing students. As a teacher, he tried to know the more important things going on in his students’ lives—he’d learned the hard way how easily a child could be hurt by careless talk. Ellie, on the other hand, seemed happy, even normal by Hogwarts standards. A fullblooded witch with kind, attentive parents (judging by the amount of owls) and brilliant grades and friends, she had every right to be.

               And yet…

               “Hello Ellie, what are you doing here?”

               It was May 2nd, after all. Classes were cancelled that day, and while there was no official memorial services students were encouraged to spend some time reflecting on the Battle of Hogwarts. Or study more, Neville wasn’t particularly fussed about it. He himself spent May 2nd working until the night, when he and several of the D.A. survivors joined him and Hannah at the Leaky Cauldron to toast the fallen. It wasn’t completely traditional, but that’s what he did.

               Ellie twisted her blue tie nervously. “I just wanted to…to stop by and offer my sympathies.”

               “For what, exactly?” Neville asked, bemused.

               “For your parents.”

               Neville put down his shears, closing his eyes. When he opened them Ellie looked sad.

               “I’m so sorry,” she whispered. “It’s just…no one really talks about them, and I know they were heroes, because  we’ve learned about the original Order, and I know that you must be sad today…”

                Neville took a deep breath.

               “I’m sorry Professor. I’ll just…go…”

               “No, Ellie, it’s alright.” Neville conjured a chair and motioned her towards it. He sat down on his stool, lowering it so he and Ellie were face to face. “What exactly do you think happened to my parents?”

               “Well…they’re dead, aren’t they?” Ellie’s eyes were bright with sympathy. “That awful Bellatrix Lestrange killed them, because they wouldn’t give her any information. They were wonderfully brave sir, like you.”

               Neville couldn’t help the smile. Even with what Professor McGonagall had told him yesterday, he still had a hard time thinking of himself as brave. But there was something that needed to be corrected.

               “Ellie, my parents aren’t dead.”

               “They’re…they’re not?”

               “No.” Neville swallowed. “Bellatrix Lestrange did torture my parents for information.  She and a few other Death Eaters attacked them quite soon after Voldemort fell the first time.” Neville was absurdly proud of Ellie’s lack of reaction to Voldemort’s name. “My parents were very brave, and they never gave up any information. But the Cruciatus Curse—it doesn’t kill, you see. However it can, if used long enough, cause insanity.”

               Ellie’s eyes were wide with horror.

               “They live at St. Mungo’s,” Neville said quietly. “I’ve asked about bringing them home to Hannah and I, but they do need constant supervision and they are…they’re getting older, and their illness is making that worse.” His mother hadn’t left her bed in three years, and his father was having vision problems.

               Ellie put her hands over her mouth.

               “I’m sorry,” Neville said as gently as he could. “I just didn’t want you to have the wrong idea. In some ways I’m very lucky; I can still see them, I can still talk to them.” There were so many war orphans, from both wars…it felt wrong to take attention away from them.

               “Do they know who you are?”

               Neville swallowed. “I think so. I—I hope so.”

               Ellie didn’t speak for a minute. Neville wanted desperately to pick up his shears, continue working, and let the girl escape. She’d been sweet, really, seeking him out today, and he didn’t want to repay that with such an awkward chat.

               “Could they ever be cured?”

               “No,” Neville said, and it hurt, it hurt more than telling how they’d become the way they were. “St. Mungo’s does wonderful work with people who have mental conditions, but there are some wounds that cannot be healed.”

               Ellie blinked hard. “I thought magic could fix everything.”

               Neville reached out and put his hand on hers. “I wish it could, but everything’s got rules, Ellie, and sometimes they need to be kept.”

               Ellie ducked her head for a moment. “St. Mungo’s…does it hurt, what they do to cure people?”

               Neville raised his eyebrows. “Not from what I understand. I’ve been involved with that part of the hospital for several years now, talking to Healers and doing what I can to help. They’ve got different ways of treating people depending on what they need, but I don’t think anyone’s been hurt.” Not that I’d let that go on if it was happening.

               Ellie fidgeted. Neville leaned forward. “What is it, Ellie?”

               And then it all came rushing out.

               “My little brother—he’s been odd for a long time, my Mum and Dad thought he’d grow out of it—he’s really sweet, he’d never hurt anyone, but something’s funny with his magic—he’s almost nine, and Mum and Dad don’t know what to do and they think he might be crazy but no one can help—”

               Ellie was gasping. Alarmed, Neville gripped her shoulder. “Alright Ellie, breathe, nice and slow.”

               It took a few tries, but Ellie did calm down.

               “Ellie,” Neville asked carefully, “have your parents…have they spoken to a Healer?”

               Ellie shook her head. “They’re frightened that he might have to be shut up.”

               Neville took a deep breath. “Can I write to your parents?”

               Ellie stared at him.

               “Your brother needs help, Ellie, and if your parents can’t give it to him…I know it must be scary, but there might be something Healers can do for him.”

               “But what if—”

               “If he truly does need to be in a hospital? Ellie, it’s not that bad there, I promise. It was a gloomy place there long ago, but it’s changed, honestly. And it is much better knowing now; if it is something to do with his magic, it’s only going to get worse.”

               Ellie looked at him, eyes bright with hope. “Do you really think Danny could get better?”

               “I think there’s a chance,” Neville said gently. “And either way, you’ll all know, and then you can do what’s best for Danny.”

               Ellie threw her arms around his neck. Startled, Neville patted her back. “I’ll write to your parents first thing tomorrow,” he promised as Ellie drew back.

               He had an extra stop to make that night, to a cheerful hospital ward with two old people who recognized him enough to give him sweets, but not call him by name.

               That was enough.

               Two years later Neville watched as “McEvoy, Daniel!” was sorted into Ravenclaw, clutching an enormous tabby. The boy was small and still a bit nervous, but the cat calmed him, and so long as it was in the room with him he did brilliantly in all his classes (the cat did enjoy eating the Flutterby Bushes, but Neville learned to keep them out of reach).

               The cat was very friendly and sweet, and Danny explained very seriously to Neville that he named her after the lady that always smiled at him when he spent a day or two in hospital for treatment.

               The cat’s name was Alice.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. *Belated moment of silence* I wanted to post a photo but I was out of town. 😭 Oh the struggles of a #bookstagramer. If you didn't see Rowling's annual tweet (where she apologizes for killing a character EVERY YEAR -TWISTING THE KNIFE, MAKING MY FANGIRL HEART DIE A LITTLE BIT EVERY TIME... but I digress) this year she chose a controversial character; Severus Snape. I know a lot of people mourned his death, me included, but there were a lot of people who disliked Snape and thought it was a just act on Rowling's part. What do you think? . 🎉Special thanks to @shovingcrayons for helping with this shot -and for lending me your #SiriusBlack Pop! figurine. . . ○•○CHALLENGES○•○ 1. #FrenchieFantasyMay ▪@frenchiefiction ▪ DARK AND BROADING •▪• I intended to pick Sirius (hence his Pop! figurine featured) but, after seeing J.K. Rowling's tweet yesterday, I realized that Snape is a better fit. 2. #MayBookPlaylist ▪@krachela + @mata.books ▪ A WHOLE NEW WORLD: ALADIN -- AMAZING WORLD BUILDING •▪• How could I not chose Harry Potter for this prompt? It is one of the best built worlds I have ever read. 3. #PomReadsDADM ▪@Pomeranian_books + @Whiterabbitreads ▪ BALOO: BEST ADVICE •▪• Albus Dumbledore was a man full of wisdom -I loved his moments with Harry, giving him pieces to a puzzle that would span the entire length of the series. Rowling truly is a master. 😭 4. #bookstaBINGO ▪@bookslayerReads ▪ Magic •▪• *Cue Coldplay* I mean, come on... they're wizards.

Harry Potter Golden Trio Roleplay

gold && silver && bronze || a post-dh roleplay

May 2, 2003. On the fifth anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts, old friends, old lovers, old enemies reunite at Hogwarts for a memorial to the fallen. When the dead have been counted up, how do the living keep going? How do the bonds formed in childhood persist outside the walls of Hogwarts, under the shadow of trauma? What curves lay in the road ahead?

Gold, Silver, and Bronze is a Harry Potter roleplay based on the canon characters of the Golden Trio era with diversity-forward, headcanon-based characterizations. It is set post-Deathly Hallows without epilogue compliance.

To create a community of like-minded adults, it is 18+ only (NOT smut-focused) and paragraph-based with an application requirement.

The roleplay itself will be a mix of group and one-on-one channels with flexibility and an emphasis on collaborative storytelling rather than plot being handed down from above. There's endless possibility for inventiveness and fun through faceclaims (+ Tupperbox!), music, and aesthetics.

Come check us out! Basically every character is currently open, and acceptances will be held on Wednesday at 11 PM EST.  I'm always happy to answer any questions.

Our promotional tumblr can be found here--still under construction, but feel free to send asks or messages:
