Cursed Child redo

Just started over from scratch since our new bad guys are from the Lovecraftian school Miskatonic in the US. Plus, give us some Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff rep!

James Sirius Potter: Eldest son of Harry and Ginny. A braggart who is proud of the legacy he holds and wants to be the best-- especially in Quidditch! As a result he assumes the other houses are not the best and he picks on others like Albus and Scorpius. As a result of this bullying, Albus lashed out and cursed off his eye. Harry was furious, but Albus narrowly escaped getting expelled and was punished through alternative means. James was beside himself, he wasn't always like this. A combination of pressure to be perfect and his closeted homosexuality were something that was weighing heavily on him. Then his father went on a mission to the US to uncover the secrets to a strange school called Miskatonic University where allegedly students of a wizard or muggle background were enlisted together. But something wasn't right, students and aurors alike were going missing.... and Harry Potter hasn't returned either. James enlisted himself under Ilvermorny's exchange program in hopes of finding his father. However the cocky Gryiffindor was going to be in for something much bigger than mere kidnappings.

Albus Severus Potter: Middle child of the Potter family. Albus was worried about what house he'd be sorted into. Gryffindor or Slytherin. But the hat noticed how much the young boy would over think about everything and spat him out in Ravenclaw. Albus was stunned and felt unsure, nothing was going to plan and he worried if something was wrong. Feeling lost too he befriended Scorpius Malfoy. Despite their families complicated history he found Scorpius to be a good emotional rock in his life while they both related to things not going to plan. Eventually they embraced their house despite the earfuls they got from their families. One day Albus had heard about a portrait that was left empty. That portrait was of Severus Snape, dubbed hero of Hogwarts much like Dumbledore and immortalized. His painting was supposed to be a sign of good luck now that the curse on Defense Against the Dark Arts class was lifted. Feeling the need to meet one of his namesakes he tested fate and introduced himself to the painting hoping Snape would appear. At first he was disappointed and was about to leave when suddenly a voice told him to stay put. Snape finally came into his frame. He was amused that Harry had named one of his sons after him, even with a middle name. Albus would confide in Snape's portrait and share his thoughts and troubles to him. In time he saw Snape more like a father than Harry. He was easier to talk to and relate to. He battled with worries that he wasn't living up to his father's expectations. Snape softened up around him and would give him words of encouragement, especially after he accidentally cursed off Jame's eye. As soon as his father went missing-- followed by his brother, Albus felt the need to rescue them both to prove himself. But he would not be going alone.

Lily Luna Potter (Lily-lu for short): The youngest of the Potter family. Taking after her granny, Lily loves to make friends and saw the good in just about everyone she meets. Her best friend being the demi-giant Hibiscus Hagrid. At home she acts as the peacemaker to try and sooth the heavy arguments James and Ablus get into. The results are mixed, given that she's the youngest and seldom anyone listens to the youngest of the family. That is until she plays her wizard lute. She quickly found she had a talent for music and this would make everyone in the room feel better. She can't stand conflict and feels music helps a lot. With her brothers going abroad to find their father she and her friends are now faced with the equally scary task of uncovering students from the US trying to body snatch hogwarts students.

Teddy Lupin: So of the late Remus Lupin and Tonks. Godson to the potters. In his youth he'd frequent between his grandma's domain and the Potters. Until his grandma's untimely death, Harry and Ginny took Teddy as their own. He became a sort of foster big brother to James, Albus, and Lily. He was chill and liked making others laugh, but he knew how to settle conflicts over a nice batch of chocolate. He graduated from Hogwarts and is now the head of Hufflepuff house acting as a TA for the new Professor in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Trocar the vampire. During his time at Hogwarts he fell in love with Victoire and upon graduation they're now engaged to be married soon.

Hibiscus Hagrid: Daughter of Rubeus Hagrid and Olympe Maxine. The two half giants were on and off again until after the conflict of the wizarding war blew over and they got married. Hibiscus was one of the only half giant students going to Hogwarts. Her mother would fly back to France for her school and Hagrid would still tend to the beasts on the castle grounds. Hibiscus like her papa loved animals. When trying to find a familiar she couldn't pick one and ended up with 5. 2 cats, 2 owls and a toad. Seeing as Hagrid's house is close by she'd always trade out her critter between classes. That way no one feels left out. She'd always make time to have tea with her papa and soon Lily-- or Lily-lu she'd nickname her would come along. One day she discovered a dragon's egg in a poacher's camp and it hatched. Unsure of what to do she kept the little dragon in her pocket, seeing as it was the size of a salamander at the time. She'd feed it marshmallows to help keep her belly full for classes. She named the dragon Willow.... and Willow was getting bigger. She dreaded the day she'd have to turn the little orphan dragon loose.

Rose Weasley: Daughter of Hermione and Ron. Being the daughter of the minister of magic, she expected nothing else than to be in the exact house her parents were in. To her horror she ended up in Slytherin. She about had a fit, but the hat dubbed her worthy as one and she was ushered into her house. Rose thought this was the worst thing ever and worried how her parents would react that their witty girl didn't get into Gryffinfdor. But as it turned out she found some of her cousins there too. She became friends with Erin who helped her adjust and see things from a different point of view. Slytherin house was very different from what is was in the past. Where as she heard stories about pure blood extremists she found very clever and insightful people. Perhaps not all Slytherins were bad.... But her prejudice flared up when she saw her cousin befriending a Malfoy. She'd shout and tell Scorpius to back off thinking he was going to send Albus down a dark path, but slowly found that wasn't the case. Once again Rose began to contemplate that in her fears of finding bullies she ended up being one. She eased up on her temper and found a healthy spot to be in over time. But as soon as her uncle Harry went missing she turned to her father. Ron was once the Watson to Harry's Sherlock, they were a great team until Ron got into an accident and a dark wizard got away. He stepped down to recover and would work with his brother at Zonko's Joke shop. Once his leg healed Ron felt like he had the fight taken out of him. Was he just slowing everyone down? Should he just be a stay at home dad and watch the kids? The man was in a state of doubt and it sparked some tension in his and Hermione's marriage. Rose worried if she screwed up it would make her parents get divorced. It wasn't true, but it worried her to death. Something her little brother didn't seem to catch. Still she got word about Harry going missing and told her father she, James, Albus, and Scorpius had to go and find him. Ron was hesitant to get his daughter and nephews involved, but he vowed he'd watch over them and bring back Harry Potter. He could finally prove himself he wasn't an old fart who lost his spark.

Hugo Weasley: Son of Hermione and Ron. The scruffy joker of a boy became fast friends with his cousin James. He'd act as his hype man at every turn. But when he wasn't in James's shadow he was tending to his house elf friend, Yo-yo. After his mother freed the house elves from bondage, there had been a new generation of house elves who were born free and wore clothes like the wizards and goblins. Yo-yo couldn't get a wand-- didn't need one really, but he wanted to go to Hogwarts like all the other wizards. So Hugo had him hide in his book bag so he could see what wizard life was like. Hugo despite being a touch naive himself felt the need to protect Yo-yo. This would get them into danger sometimes.

Scorpius Malfoy: Son of Draco and Astoria. Scorpius was the first Malfoy in generations to end up anyway else but Slytherin. Given his family's reputation Scporius is used to having people assume the worst in him. But seeing as he got sorted into Ravenclaw he was hoping to prove everyone wrong. And to kick it all off he befriended Albus. The two got into Astronomy and would spend hours at night trying to spot the constellations in their dorm. Scorpius was cool headed and clever and as soon as Harry went missing he jumped at the chance to help his best friend. He has a crush on Rose, but it's gonna take some time before she'll like him back.

Griselda Trelawney: Daughter of Sybill Trelawney and Omar Amid. Her father died when she was little and her mother supposedly saw visions of something dreadful befalling Griselda. From her two colored eyes, the star birthmarks on her back, even her beauty mark. All of these were supposed to be signs for different outcomes. As a result it left her with a lot of depression. No one could tell if her mom was telling the truth or was just old and senile. She confided in her partner Dominique who could somehow pull her out of her funk and be happy for once.

Hilda Longbottom: Daughter of Neville Longbottom and Hannah Abbot. Being the daughter of the current Herbology teacher and the Land lady of the Leaky Cauldron, Hilda became a feisty Gryffindor. She was aware of folks poking fun at her softy of a dad-- despite him slaying Nagini-- and would sick her cane toad familiar at students she felt needed to be taught a lesson. She didn't care if she got detention, she had 0 tolerance for bullying. Hugo has a huge crush on her.

Lysander and Lorcan Scamander: Sons of Luna Lovegood and Rolf Scamander. Arguably the new Weasley twins in spirit. Despite being sorted in different houses the twins act in sync almost like stoners. Being related to the famous Newt Scamander they both gravitate to the care for magical beasts. They want to be wizard vets when they graduate.

Molly and Lucy Weasley: Daughters of Percy and Audrey. Also fellow Weasley's who got sorted into Slytherin. Molly is their current prefect and head girl, she sets strict rules and expects everyone to follow them. Her twin Lucy, being a fellow prefect is more lax about the rules and even encourages them to be broken. This results in massive heated debates between the two sisters.

Erin Chang Campbell: Daughter of Cho Chang and a Muggle, Mr. Campbell. Erin was a quiet girl who was gifted with potions. She helped befriend Rose while she got situated at Slytherin and showed her Slytherin wasn't so bad to be in.

Victoire, Dominique, and Louis Weasley: Victoire is a Ravenclaw graduate and fiance to Teddy Lupin. She acts as an assistant for Minerva McGonagall. She's an animagus who can turn into a swan. Her siblings and cousins would joke she's the swan princess from Swan Lake. Dominique is a Gryffindor senior and is transitioning from girl to boy. Currently dating Griselda. And Louis is a werewolf. He accidentally got bitten by his father but tries to not let that hold him back. Best friends with Jahnu.

Freddie and Roxanne Weasley: Son and Daughter of George and Angelina. Two cunning pranksters who are trying to bring some fun back into Gryffindor. They befriended Peeves and are on the lookout for their uncle's ghost who apparently haunts around the clock tower. They hope to find him so their father can have some closer.

Harbeth and Apus Finnegan: Sons of Seamus Finnegan and Lily Moon. Both are of Irish and Korean decent. Apus loves food and wants to work at Honeydukes when he graduates. Biggest of all he wants to add more flavors from Korea to his confections to make brand new wizard candy. However his confections still have a lot of progress to go. When they're food, they're really good-- when they're bad things tend to go BOOM. Harbeth is his designated taste tester, often accident prone but willing to try-try again. Both are on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Both have a tendency to raid the Hogwarts kitchens while no on is looking.

Freya Onai Wood: Daughter of Oliver Wood and best keeper in Ravenclaw's Quidditch team.

Jahnu Thomas: Son of Dean Thomas and Parvati Patel, best quiddich player for Slytherin house and rival to James.

hibiscus, holly, lavender, oak, salvia, rose, poppy (many but ily)

[ i. ] HIBISCUS : how does your muse view the gentler, daintier things in life? as things worth preserving & caring for, or things only bound to wither & disappear?  

Ziggy is gentle by nature, and his heart really does belong to anything that seems in need of care or protection. His literal job is to foster growth, happiness, well-being — to care for things others might consider useless. To him, nothing is useless, and everything matters a little bit more than we all think. Very much the type to care for anything or anyone broken and tearfully watch as they leave the nest off to bigger and better things. Is he pretty much Hagrid in this sense? Yes — big hair, cool motorbike, crybaby tendencies and all.

[ ii. ] HOLLY : how strong is your muse’s sense of intuition? are they aware of it? do they ever fear that it is only paranoia?  

His intuition is ... historically, not great, but not terrible. There’s something about the fact that he’s an idealist who’d rather see people for what they could be rather than what they are that throws his intuition slightly off-kilter. Tends to be a ‘first thought / best thought ( oh shit, maybe that’s not actually the best thought )’ kind of guy. Most truly important decisions have been levied by countless hours of mental spiraling — only to...probably land him at a decision that was better off avoided. In short...meh. Could be better. 

[ iii. ] LAVENDER : how easy is it to gain your muse’s trust? once their trust is broken,  how might one go about mending it?

Pretty darn easy, honestly? It’s not that he’s necessarily gullible, but he does feel compelled to connect with just about everyone he meets, and so is quite open both in terms of what he offers of himself and how / what he receives from others. Trust is pretty freely given, though there are certain things that he only lets a few in on, and only after some time, shared experiences, etc. 

He’s the type to leverage more blame on himself than the person who broke his trust, to constantly question where he went wrong, how what he did led to the betrayal, etc. A good, honest conversation ( with a box of Kleenex nearby ) should mend most things, however.

* gonna put the remaining answers under the cut so as to not clog up the dash bc i have no editing skills, as per *

[ iv. ] OAK : who would your muse consider the strongest person they know?

Ziggy’s definition of ‘strong’ more often aligns with someone who is open, eager to learn, content with their individuality, expressive, compassionate, unafraid of being silly — characteristics he’s always had but chose to close off early in his life before finding them again. 

I imagined it’d be hard for him to choose just one person ( shoutout to his friends for all being rock solid in their own way <3 ) but ... He’d likely say Lola, not just because he’s a sappy, heart-eyed flower king but? Because her strength ( in the way he’s come to define the word, at least ) is almost definitely what drew him to her in the first place, and she played a big part in him finding some of those aspects of himself again, so... Yeah. Plus, the cute lil irony of the tiniest person he knows also being the strongest person he knows? What can I say, he’s a sucker for that. 

[ v. ] SALVIA : is your muse possessive over people or things that matter a lot to them?  how do they express that possessiveness, or lack thereof?

Truthfully, yes — but he’s wary of tapping into his inherent toxic masculinity to display the extremes of those feelings, so he does somewhat hold himself back from showing it altogether. That being said, when it comes to people who matter a lot to him — historically, this is displayed in some kind of self-sacrifice, 

[ vi. ] ROSE :  how much does your muse value other people? do they wish to have many friends, lovers, and/or associates? are they an easy person to love?

To quote Fleabag — something I imagine Ziggy actually would do lmao — “People are all we’ve got.” He’s a fan of people, has a lot more faith in people than he probably should, and actively wants to see people succeed, especially where marginality comes into play. Prefers to keep the number of close friendships he has to a number that can be counted on ten fingers or less. No limit or ideal number to lovers ( although ... that year in between working politics and flowers was definitely his hoe phase where he likely did have a goal. ) Ideally, he’d like a solid number of associates ( i.e., like-minded political connections ).

I’d like to think he’s easy to love — in general, because he’s a nice dude and pretty much always has been, but especially now that he’s more or less come into his own as this bohemian-individualist-idealist. Possibly best to consult Abe and Lola on if he’s easy to love even when he gets into his head, because uhh... That mental spiraling of his really took ‘em both for a tailspin, huh? 

[ vii. ] POPPY : what comforts your muse?

Ziggy Hawthorne is a man of simple comforts — a good cry, a bowl of street corn, walking around the Bowery to look at all the funky street art, DOGS ( the man def thought he’d have a dog by now, okay !! ), John Lewis speeches, a well-rolled blunt, dance / karaoke parties with friends and well-intentioned strangers.  Let him have one or all of these on a rough day and he’ll perk right back up, promise!

❥ STARTER CALL: BULSTRDE

They're surprisingly the only Slytherins in the common room, as Astoria felt too ill to go to class && had decided to spend the day in her pajamas, getting ahead on her classwork. Daphne had briefly returned to excitedly break the news that Hagrid was probably being sacked due to the Hippogriff incident, much to Astoria's dismay. She thought his excitement to teach was endearing && the creatures he presented thus far were quite interesting. But after quickly gossiping with the youngest Greengrass, she had run off to spend her newfound freedom with Pansy. Leaving Millicent && Astoria behind rather quickly. She pouts at the thought of Draco's foolishness causing any more misfortune, before shrugging it off.

' ' Would you like some tea, Millie ? It's pomegranate with hibiscus flowers && lemongrass. ' ' She sits across from her, teapot && teacups at the ready amongst the mess of books && parchment paper she's has scattered about.

' ' I bet that was frighting to witness, ' ' She can't help but find SOME humor in the platinum-haired boy's misfortune, ' ' --- Or was it funny ? regardless I have to admit it sounds like Draco provoked it. ' '

[wot-an-idiot]

Neville and Hagrid :D

Neville: Your favorite flower.

-Probably the one I got permanently drawn onto my body, which is a purple hibiscus.

Hagrid: Your favorite animal.

Well you know this and I feel like you just want to see me say it, so: FUCKIN DRAGONS. I loooooOOOOOVE dragons my dudes. And don’t come at me with that “dragons are mythical creatures blah blah blah.” They’re real. How do you think so many cultures across the world had some kind of lizard like fire breathing creature in their mythology without communicating to each other about it? Because they fuckin exist and you cannot convince me otherwise. I’d also love to bring one back to life and ride it off into the sunset, only to come back and take over the whole damn world…

Today’s the day for all the crab updates, heh. Finished putting together their food dishes while Hagrid enjoys his swim! They got a little more than usual, partly because I’m excited that there’s more activity again, and partly because I’m excited about the new foods from Mountain Rose Herbs.

Click to read on if you’re curious about what all of this is! :)

Top dish is earthworm castings, with cuttlebone pieces. Dish on the left below that is green sand, which they TORE through in the past week. Nothing but poop left in the bowl!

The green kidney dish has 8 grain mix, two food mixes from an group seller, the new roasted red pepper powder, the new chlorella powder, and some elderberries. (This is the extra dish, because I forgot about trying to new powders & still wanted to put them in!)

Pea pod dish has bee pollen, tubifex worms, cranberries, plankton, and mushrooms.

Flower dish has minnows, beets, apple, duck liver, and astaxanthin millet puffs.

And the foraging dish has the rest of their new MRH goodies! Birch leaf, raspberry leaf, artichoke leaf, birch bark, hibiscus flowers, calendula flowers, elderberries, and rosebuds (the only thing not new/MRH).

Can’t wait to see what they think of the new stuff! :) Once Hagrid gets his butt out of the salt pool, I’m going to change their waters & possibly clean some shells (too late to get through all of them tonight, it’s a pain). I’m gonna wipe down the glass as well, and see if I can get some good pics of everyone now that they’re active again. ♥
