#i headcanon snape had to work his ass off getting good

[juniemunie]

"Close enough."

[theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin]

You wrote your opinions on the Order of the Phoenix, what about the Death Eaters? That's another way of saying Lucius, Bellatrix, and anybody else. I honestly feel that we're running out of HP characters for you to write your opinion and reasoning about, so yeah~

We honestly are. When people start asking me questions about Harry’s nameless and faceless classmates I feel like we’re scraping the bottom of my barrel of Harry Potter opinions.

Though, that said, this is still a very large ask if you want me to analyze very Death Eater ever or even the Death Eaters as a whole (which is worthy of its own post).

So, we’ll compromise, and I’ll just look at the two you name dropped.

Lucius Malfoy

To me, Lucius is by far one of the more intelligent Death Eaters. He’s the guy who makes them almost look classy. I say almost, because Lucius is still a racist domestic terrorist and as the series goes on Tom gleefully drags him into being less classy by the minute (his house becomes a POW camp and housing for the dregs of society, Lucius just sobs, trying to be thankful he’s somehow still alive).

Lucius is rich, sophisticated, and is probably the most politically powerful man in the country. He has a beautiful wife he has... a son (sorry Draco, but you do not live up to your father) the guy has it all.

Which makes it very surprising that he got dragged into this mess. But you see, Lucius is paying for that tragedy we call youth.

Also, as a caveat, I’m about to headcanon hard and will not bother to get into the details of why I think x, y, or z in this post.

Ten years prior to the start of canon, Lucius is a very young man, probably very charismatic, certainly believes he’s intelligent and probably gets decent grades, but nonetheless the kind of stupid you see in men ages 15-25.

He’s likely chafing under his aging father’s strict guidance, knows he’s not going to be Lord Malfoy for years yet, wants to get out there, prove himself, and make a difference for his country. More importantly for Lucius, there’s this hip, exciting, new thing that all his cousins and friends are getting into called “The Death Eaters” (yes, I don’t believe the Knights of Walpurgis/Death Eaters 1.0 ever happened, I think it’s ridiculous that fandom and JKR does, I could go into why but not in this post). 

The Death Eaters are led by the single handedly most beautiful, charismatic, man in Britain. (Yes, I headcanon Tom’s still blindingly attractive at this stage, because it makes much more sense to me but we’re not getting into that here.) A mysterious man by the name of Voldemort, Salazar Slytherin’s long lost heir, who has come to resurrect the wizarding world’s true heritage and purge the land of the muggle stain. (Yes, I do believe that no one, not even Lucius who is later given the diary, knew who Tom really was. I believe Regulus’ had only the vaguest idea, informed mostly by Tom’s use of Kreacher to place the locket.) This is the most exciting thing to have ever happened, the rallies probably consist of rich kids drunk out of their minds and maybe even high on a little wizard cocaine, and Lucius is down for it precisely because his father says “Lucius, this is stupid, please don’t embarrass the family.” WELL LUCIUS IS GOING TO EMBARRASS THE FAMILY, DAD! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?!

And for a while, it looks like Lucius made the right choice. Things are happening, they’re actually going out and killing the mudbloods! Unlike Regulus, Lucius never has that “wait a minute” moment as he realizes that Voldemort’s actually far more efficiently eliminating pureblood families and sowing dissention in what was once a unanimous force among the Wizengamot (the other pureblood lords aren’t necessarily pro muggleborn, per se, but they get a bit queasy at the thought of blowing them up or Merlin forbid actually blowing up their own public venues wizards use). 

And then October 31st, 1981 happens, and it all comes crashing down. Lucius has to desperately lie his ass off, having only the flimsiest lie to rely on, has to hand out a shit ton of bribes, and manages to squeeze his way out of being imprisoned in Azkaban. 

I’m sure Abraxas looked at his son, with his tattoo on his arm that makes him another man’s slave, at the utter destruction of the Black family, and just shook his head going, “Clean up your mess, Dumbass Son”

And Lucius does to the best of his ability. While some will always suspect him of being a Death Eater, while some know it, he’s able to climb very high in influence in their ridiculously tiny community. Granted, I do think he messed up, and could never for example run for minister given everything (if Crouch can’t rerun then Lucius certainly can’t). He also shows us that in some ways he is not above the law, he’s very afraid his house will be searched without warrant in The Chamber of Secrets, and this is in part why he dumps Tom Riddle’s diary off onto Ginny.

However, he wields total control of the Prophet, has a seat on the Wizengamot, has the ear of the current Minister, is on the Hogwarts’ Board of Governors, and has his hands in pretty much every pie he can.

I imagine during this period Lucius grows up. He brushes the indiscretions of his youth under the carpet, gleefully leaving it all behind him, and the only real friend he maintains contact with from that period is Severus, the least zealot like of all of them. (Crabbe and Goyle Sr aren’t friends, they’re minions). 

Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a racist slime bag, and I don’t think he really regrets the domestic terrorism. He just regrets nearly getting caught and putting his entire family’s security on the line. He witnessed first hand what happened to the Blacks.

And then the worst thing happens: Tom Riddle rises from the dead. He rises, impossibly, from the dead when Lucius has his own hand caught in the cookie jar.

Lucius has been living a life of luxury and influence while his great master, the man he had pledged everything to, was dead. Worse, Lucius took what was described as a treasured item to be protected at all costs, and not only threw it away but sent it to Hogwarts where it caused massive havoc and was ultimately destroyed. 

And Lucius, I imagine, no longer wants to serve a master.

But he has no choice. And so begins Lucius’ descent into misery and hell as he’s given an increasing set of impossible, horrific, tasks in punishment that involve him watching as his wife and son are put through hell.

I believe Tom holds a special place in his cold, black, passive aggressive heart for Lucius Malfoy.

First, Tom makes Lucius’ house his headquarters. Oh, Lucius, you have a very nice, very large, estate? Why don’t you host your beloved, mad, cousin, her equally mad husband and brother-in-law? Oh, Bellatrix threatened to cut off your ear? Well, she’s just so passionate! 

Second, Lucius is told to go get the prophecy. Well, this is easier said than done. He nearly succeeds but then it all turns into the world’s largest clusterfuck that ends in two notable things. First, the prophecy is lost forever, shattered. Second, the government admits that Voldemort is truly resurrected. Both of these things are very bad in Tom’s book. And the blame can easily be put on Lucius’ head.

In response to this, Draco is now given an impossible task that Draco is too stupid to realize is designed to cause him (and his family) as much misery as possible. Draco is to assassinate Dumbledore. 

Likely, Tom was already informed by Snape that Dumbledore was dying. The blackened hand was too obvious a tell coming from too obvious a source for the pair to have hid it. I think trying to hide such information would have immediately blown Snape’s cover. So, Tom knows the man is dying, and doesn’t see fit to tell Draco this.

Instead, he tells Draco, “Kill Dumbledore as soon as possible or I deliver you to Fenrir Grayback.” Draco, however, is young and stupid, so he honestly thinks he is doing this to restore the family honor, earn glory for himself and for the cause, and is expected to do this entirely by himself. As a result, when Narcissa begs Snape to aid Draco, Draco blows them both off and only accepts help from Bellatrix because HE CAN DO THIS ON HIS OWN! DRACO IS A MAN.

This, of course, doesn’t work out either. Draco doesn’t deliver the killing blow, Snape does, but Tom decides to give him a pass.

Instead he moves on to his next plan which is making the Malfoy manor his torture chamber and POW camp. Even Draco, at this point, realizes this all kind of sucks. 

And then Voldemort finally dies a second time, and I’m sure Lucius just stares numbly at his malformed corpse, wondering if it will really take this time.

So that’s Lucius for you, paying always for his mistakes, and pretending he’s just as much of a nutcase as Bellatrix to fit in.

Bellatrix LeStrange

God, compared to the novel that is Lucius’ ridiculous life, I really don’t have much to say about her because I feel like there’s not much too her.

Bellatrix reminds me a lot of the Manson family, she gives off those same vibes. Point being, I think even before Azkaban (while Azkaban certainly didn’t help), she was insane and a little too worshipful of Voldemort.

I guess I can start there, I don’t think Bellamort is a thing, at all. 

Tom may have, probably did, have sex with her before he died but afterwards? In that body? Forget about it.

That said, I’m sure Bellatrix both wanted to have sex and is convinced she did have sex to produce whatever the hell Delphi even is. It just wasn’t with Tom, and probably was Rodolphous with a Halloween mask on his face as they got a little too into role play.

And there we go, I suppose, I can’t take Bellatrix seriously. You often see her portrayed as sexy femme fatale Death Eater, the most competent of all of them, if a bit of a sadist.

Oh she might be a very good duelist but she’s... Bellatrix.

She prances around in corsets, shrieking madly, and just what part of that is supposed to be femme fatale? I literally cannot take her seriously on any level. When I even try to write her seriously, in very serious stories, I end up with lines like the following:

"My lord, if there's anything you need… Anything from me, specifically, as a woman…" 

- Bright Eyes

That was my best attempt. That was the best I could come up with. It’s still something that belongs in a comedy.

So, I don’t think Tom really corrupted her. I think without Voldemort she still probably would have been blowing up Diagon Alley, just in a much less organized manner.

Even in canon she does ridiculous things. For example, Bellatrix, frankly, could have easily avoided prison.

For weeks after the dark lord fell neither she, her husband, Barty, nor her brother-in-law were arrested. Bellatrix in grief and utter disbelief that the dark lord could ever do something so mortal as die, said “remember that other house our lord mentioned, THEY MIGHT HAVE INFORMATION, LET’S GO MURDER THE LONGBOTTOMS!” They torture and kidnap Frank, demanding he tell them where their master is, THEY KNOW HE KNOWS. He doesn’t know. They go too far and torture the man into being a vegetable. “Shit, GET THE WIFE!” They go get the wife, do the same thing, with the same results.

They now have no information on the dark lord, two well regarded aurors tortured into brain damage, and are quickly caught and brought before the court with absolutely no “I was imperiused” excuse they can give out. 

How am I supposed to take her in any way seriously?

I mean, to end your life killed in a duel with Molly Weasley. That just says it all.

[miridiums-writing]

Hi babie can I pls request draco headcanons with a super bubbly energetic nd outgoing hufflepuff s/o? 🥺🥺 I been thinking bout dis nd I think it’d be so cute 😭

Ooooh yes bb of course I will

Draco with a bubbly hufflepuff s/o

I think we can all agree Draco is an asshole

To everyone except you that is

You were the one to make the first move to friendship

This is definitely a friends to lovers sort of relationship

Probably put together for a class since Draco wouldn't associate with a hufflepuff for any other reason

You work together for a few weeks only making idle conversation with you

He would probably give curt and short answers not really caring while you hold the conversation

Talking about random things such as your day and favourite classes

Your hope was to relax him

You held no ill will and he could trust you

Then you would need to show him up

Maybe something to show your intelligence

So he can see you as an equal

By far the most important part would be ignoring his continued insults

That would be the very beginning

He would comfortable eventually

You cant tell me you both wouldn't have millions of inside jokes

"What's up yoy dumb hufflepuff"

"Nothing much, how about you, you evil slytherin"

Confuses everyone else

Do yoy hate each other? Do you like each other?

It became a way you both greeted each other

Eventually you both get your head out you asses and confess to each other

Starting the cutest couple at hogwarts

After getting into the relationship the start would be awkward

Draco is really touch starved

So anytime you gave physical affection he would hold onto it like it was the last time you were gonna hug him

He doesn't actively seek you out to begin with

Just allows you to do as you please

You randomly come up and hug him he will return it

No matter what time in the relationship it is he will not tolerate anyone saying anything of ill intent about you

He will fight for your honour

After about five months Draco starts to properly open up

He will initiate cuddles sessions sometimes

He will hug you in the corridor

Or kiss your forehead

Or sit you in his lap without you asking first

When he realizes you aren't going to leave he doesn't let go

Literally you had to yank him off once because you were both late for class

His excuse was it was Professor Snape and he loved him

You had to remind him he hated you

This also means hes really overprotective

So what you are actually strong

Your his sweet little hufflepuff so he has to protect you

Your bubbly personality will always make his day

Doesn't matter what kind of mood he is in

Very much a sun and moon relationship

You are his sunshine and he reflects some of you light back

I literally just thought this up, I dont even know if it makes sense

PDA is mostly when he gets jealous but there is a steady increase over time

He won't full on snog you infront of everyone

But he fine with kisses and cuddles

And will gladly have you in his lap

He loves to just wrap his arms round you because your like a teddy bear

His own personal teddy bear

Dates with him are either in your dorm or his

He likes it to just be you two because he feels he can be more vulnerable without repercussions

His dad probably wouldn't be too happy but Draco literally said screw you to him so he doesn't care

His mum adores you though

She finds you a good balance for him

You are exactly what draco needs in a relationship

You give him adventure and happiness and unconditional love

You basically turned Draco's life upside down and showed him exactly how some one should love another and how he deserves to be treated.

Whenever he gets jealous it cues for a series of events that always end the same

I'm taking that your still both underage get your heads out the gutter

He would come up behind you and put his arms around your waist

And kiss you neck a bit

Then question the person in question

Wow that sounded repetitive

If they dont go away instantly he will just keep glaring at them and kissing you till they do

It doesn't matter what you were doing before after they leave he will pick you up and carry you to the nearest place to cuddle

Now you wont be moving for a good hour or two

I hope you enjoyed please remember to

It makes my day and I always go to your profile if you do to check out your content soooo, I do see you if you do.

[give-her-hell-from-us-pevees]

Hey! I love your writing! Especially the ones with Fred and George. Could you do some headcanons about how each on the twins would flirt/ask a future s/o on a date? Thank you!!

First off, I love these boys so much. Secondly, thanks for requesting!

Okay so let’s start with George!

* For being known as the more reserved twin, this boi can sure flirt.

* The first time he noticed you, it would be your first time playing a Quidditch game. It would not have been a house game, more like you guys were bored and had time to kill. Like George, you played beater. You were friends with Angelina so she brought you to play.  You ended up being on different teams. He wanted to win but he could not help being impressed by you.  

* George came to realize that you were actually in most of his classes and he then decided that he wanted to get to know you.

* He’d start off by flattering you

* “ You did quite a good job the other day. During the match I mean. I’m George by the way.”

* “Thank you and I know who you are. You and your brother have made yourselves quite well known.”

*   You would bond over Quidditch. You tell him how you were muggle-born and never really played before. He would be in shock and tell you “how has someone as amazing as you never played before?” You would explain that growing up you played baseball a lot with your family, the only difference was was that you now had to hit the ball on the broom.

* George would 100% be the person to “accidentally” brush your hand with his. Or if you were “in his way” put his hands on your waist or small of your back and politely guide you out of his way.

*  Every moring he would greet you and say “Morning beautiful”

*  Throwing silly faces at you in the Great Hall during meals. His favorite was when you laughed so hard pumpkin juice came out of your nose. You thought you looked hurdenious but he thought it was adorable.

* He would try to catch you after each class let out and would walk you to the next. And try to catch you in the library.You’d talk about anything and everything. He also tells you about the plans for the joke shop

“ We’ll even have a section that is targeted to females. Pygmy Puff, Love Potions, the whole lot!”

* “Love potions huh? Do you really believe  those things work ?”

* “Of course they do! “

* “Alright then, what  would you smell then?”

* You thought he would list off things that he genuinely loves like broom polish, firework smoke, his favorite dessert that his mums makes but without hesitation he says “your perfume, perhaps we can discuss want you smell at the Three Broom Sticks on Saturday?”

And now for Freddie!

* Fred would be your partner in potions. There was no way in hell Snape was going to let the boys sit together where there is an open flame, worried they would burn the dungeon down. He would start to crush on you when make smart comments either to Snape or about Snape under your breath during class. 

* He started fall in love with you when you did the same thing to Umbridge, old prick. He would also get detention with you because he couldn’t stand the thought of you being in there by yourself with her. 

* You guys would be genuinely friends. George loves you as well and thinks are perfect for Fred. He only wishes he could hurry up and ask you out.

* When Draco came on the Quidditch field and started to say things about his family, he also brought up you. “What a blood traitor you are. Just like your parents! Pinning after a Mud-blood!”

* Lets just say Draco’s nose got rearranged a little bit.

* “Hey Y/N hold out your hand.”

* -proceeds to hold your hand down the corridor”

* You would go to the D.A meetings together as well. 

*He would alway try to be your partner for everything. Even after you were practicing stupefy and you casted a spell so strong you basically flew him on to his ass.

* “Oh Fred I’m so sorry!”

* “ Wells how about you kiss it make it all better?”

* George purposely went back to the dorms with Lee Jordan so Fred could have a moment alone with you. He would casually sling an around around your shoulder as you walk.

“That old git Umbridge should be locked away in Azkaban for the rubbish she teaching us and for how she conducts her dentenions.”

* “ Well if we are being honest here,you should be locked up there as well” 

*” I beg your pardon?”

* “ For you see my dear sweet Y/N, you have stolen my heart.”

* You would roll eyes but the comment still made you blush just as red as his hair.

* “ So, what do you say about me nicking some food from the house elves and we went up to the astronomy tower?”

* So off you two went, after he had run back to his dorm to grab you one of his old sweaters his Mum made for him for you to wear.

Biracial Snape Headcanons

Snape’s maternal grandparents were from Japan and studied at Mahoutokoro School of Magic. They moved to England in the early 1920s and changed their names to attenuate discrimination, but brought Eileen up to be proud of her cultural identity.

Eileen was raised bilingual and she made a point of ensuring Severus was as well. This often led to conflict with Tobias, who didn’t approve and would even punish his son if he heard him speaking Japanese. (“Don’t you ever let me hear you speaking that drivel again! We speak English in this house, do you hear me?”)

Racism and stereotyping was a problem for him at school. He more than often had to deal with offensive slurs and imitations from his classmates - not to mention the various teachers who also scolded him for not speaking English. (“The passion you have for your second language is commendable, Master Snape. However, I would appreciate it if you kept it out of the classroom, as it might make the other students uncomfortable.)  

Severus soon learned that being able to speak two languages came with its perks though. He would often use it to counteract bullies by throwing insults they couldn’t understand, and conjured his spells in Japanese to catch his opponents off guard. 

Lily’s fascination of his culture built the foundation of their friendship. Severus had grown so accustomed to people ridiculing his identity (even his own father,) that someone actually showing interest and respecting his roots was a pleasant surprise.

Despite the fact that they hated each other, James Potter once instinctively punched another student in the face for telling Severus to “go back to his country.” 

When he started teaching at Hogwarts, Severus's grandmother sent him a Howler, which Severus made the mistake of opening in the middle of the Great Hall.

“WELL DONE, MY LITTLE DUCK! I’M SO PROUD OF YOU! I KNOW YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO SEND HOWLERS WHEN YOU’RE CROSS WITH SOMEONE, BUT I FELT THAT A LETTER WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO CONVEY MY FEELINGS AS EFFECTIVELY! NOW IF ONLY YOU’D GET MARRIED AND GIVE ME SOME GRANDCHILDREN! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR WORK “PROFESSOR”! HUGS AND KISSES!”

Mcgonagall just stares at him like, “little duck???” 

Nana Prince is an absolute legend though.

She’s 4″9 and acts like your cliché grandma, but she will kick your ass if you get her mad. 

Whenever she scolds Severus, it’s always in Japanese, because then he knows she’s not fucking around.

She puts Molly Weasley to shame with her Christmas sweaters, though she has a bad habit of enchanting them with some added perks (like twinkling lights that will never burn out.) During the holidays, Severus is often seen brooding in the shadows, lit up like a Christmas tree.

His grandmother also has a slight obsession with Dumbledore. So much so that she occasionally “drops in” to visit Severus and “just so happens” to run into the headmaster at the same time. Severus just hasn’t got the heart to tell her that Albus is gay.

There was also that one time when Severus was forced to share his chambers with Remus for a night (*insert reason here*) and the DADA professor decided to take a bath the next morning. Cue Nana Prince turning up uninvited and knocking on Severus’s door, only to be greeted by a dripping wet stranger, wearing only a towel around his waist.

“Severus never told me he had a boyfriend! Oh, you’re adorable!” *cue lots of cheek pinching*

Remus is understandably confused.

Severus’s head almost explodes and he tries to convince his grandmother that, no, that is not his boyfriend, he’s just a work colleague, yada yada.

“There’s no need to be so bashful, Severus. He seems like a very nice young man - and so handsome! Just wait till I tell your mother, I think she’ll cry.”

“I don’t even like him!”

“You like him enough to let him use your facilities.”

“We can’t have children!”

“You can adopt some.”

“He’s a werewolf.”

“Well, no one’s perfect.”

(Disclaimer: gif does not belong to me, it belongs to mr-barnes tumblr, also female reader) 

Dating Sirius Black Would Include/Headcanons: 

The two of you met on Platform 9 ¾, you watched as his family left him alone to board the train. He looked around clueless, starring at his ticket. 

Your muggle parents had already left, only slightly overwhelmed by all the magic. 

You held your head up straight, clenched your fists and walked towards the cute boy. 

“(Y/N),” you promptly held you hand out for him to shake it. He starred at you clueless and shook your hand. 

“Sirius. Sirius Black.”

“Hello, Sirius Black, I was wondering if you’d like to board the train with me?” Sirius was surprised, you didn’t know the Black name. He nodded yes. 

The two of you walked on to the train, only to meet James Potter, Lily Evans, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Severus Snape. The two of you inseparable. 

You were the only person besides James that could make him burst out laughing. 

The two of you were silly, very silly. 

Your relationship was what your friends called a slow burn 

Your first kiss was in your fifth year, you didn’t start dating til christmas sixth year. 

It was halloween, fifth year, you, the marauders, and Lily were sitting in front of the fireplace around one am. 

Sirius thought you looked cute in your fluffy halloween socks, gryffindor sweater, and pajama shorts, the fire lighting up your skin. 

You thought Sirius looked cute in his hoodie, pajama pants, and messy hair. 

Spin the bottle was going great, especially since it was four boys to two girls. The boys werent spinning on lily or you almost at all. They were starting to blame you for jinxing the bottle. Maybe just a little, you thought.

Until finally, while you spun the bottle, James covering his mouth and flick of his finger, the bottle landed on Sirius. 

Sirius had the biggest grin on his face and you were beet red. 

Sirius leaned forward, his fingers pressing into the carpet. “C’mon (Y/L/N).” Sirius whispered so faintly, you were the only one who heard him. Your face was on fire. The both of you leaned in, both smiling to yourselves. Finally, your lips met. The rest of the group “ooooh”-ed at you two as you two continued kissing for probably too long. 

After the kiss the two of you didn’t immediately become an item. 

You two didn’t let it get awkward, it just got much more flirty. 

“Wanna ditch potions and head into the forbidden forest with me?” Sirius smiled, with his hand on the wall, leaning over you. 

“Sirius,” you smirked. “How about you,” you poked his chest. “go into the forbidden forest, sit there, and wait while I sit next to Snivellus in potions and copy off his work?” You laughed and walked away. Sirius huffing and smiling to himself, he couldn’t help it, that was a good one. 

“Sirius do you remember when you practically peed your pants our first year trying to talk to that transfer student from Beauxbatons?” You teased. His face grew red. 

“Yeah, well I’m not the one who face planted into that cake when you tried flirting with sixth year Jordan Woods.” Sirius retorted. (gif above) 

It was christmas eve when you two officially started dating, but it had been building for months from one particular night. 

You were showering in one of the quidditch changing rooms, one of the only bathrooms with some privacy. 

Sirius hadn’t realized he had walked into the wrong bathroom, they were identical. 

You were singing quietly to yourself as Sirius flaunted towards the showers, he could hear your signing, it sounded so familiar. 

As you stepped out of the shower, reaching for your robe, you watched as Sirius Black, your friend of five years, take off his towel ready to step into the shower. His bare ass for the world to see. 

“Oh my god!” You shouted. Sirius instantly knew who it was and whipped around. “Oh my god!” You screamed again, in a higher pitch after seeing his front size. His eyes widened catching a glimpse of your body as you scrambled to put on your robe. 

“(Y/N)! What are you doing in here?” Sirius shouted, covering himself with his towel. 

“What are you doing in here? This is the girls locker room!” You yelled back, one hand gesturing to the showers and the other clinging to your robe. 

“Oh,” he quietly said, lowering his head trying to hide how red his face was. 

“Sirius,” you couldn’t help but smile as you pushed him into the shower and walked away. 

The two of you couldn’t stop thinking about each other, and finally on christmas eve, during dinner. Sirius stepped onto the dining table, one hand over his heart, the other in the air, quickly and loudly asked, “(Y/N) (Y/L/N)! Will you do me the great honor,” he was speaking through laughter as he could see Mcgonagall swiftly walking towards him. “And be my very special girlfriend?” 

“Sirius Black!” Mcgonagall shouted. 

He waited for your answer as Mcgonagall grabbed him by the robes, probably to send him back to the common room, not uncommon for her to do. 

“Yes,” you replied over the shouting and laughing. Sirius smiled so brightly, he was like a bright burning star in a starless night.

MDZS/Hogwarts au Headcanons

This au is a classic, but per usual I have opinions so here we go. (Also let’s pretend we do not see you know who)

All the patronuses are based on the official list and descriptions (I’ll leave the link below).

Wei Wuxian:

Gryffindor

Do I even need to make an arguement for this??

Patronus: Crow or Dolphin (I genuinely can’t decide)

Has friends in all houses and floats around among the tables in the great hall

Has been in all the houses common rooms tho

Probably good at most subjects, but he is amazing at defense against the dark arts

Definitely plays Quidditch, and is definitely the seeker too

Y’know typical over-achiver, star of the show, but without really trying

Steals books from the resticted section, not because he wants to read them, just because he was told they were off limits

He also steals food from the kitchen on his way back from the Hufflepuff common room (visiting Yanli ofc)

Is the kid that looses all of the points for his house, which means he also has most of the names in trophy room memorized (just from the sheer amount of time he’s had to clean them in detention)

Curfew is more of a suggestion, in his opinion nightime is the best time to roam the castle

He’s ended up in the hospital wing so many times that he basically has a bed reserved

Jiang Cheng:

Gryffindor

Between the loyalty, courage, ambition to “attempt the impossible,” and secret heart of gold, he could rival wwx’s Gryffindor spirit

Patronus: Chow Dog

Grumpily follows around during his misadeventures to make sure he doesn’t hurt himself

Or rather he’s the one who drags wwx’s ass to the hospital wing when he does hurt himself

Only one out of the trio (wwx, nhs, jc) who actaully studies

Hates divination, thinks it’s all a hoax, and it bugs the crap out of him that nhs actually belives in it

Is the captain of the Quidditch team, started as a chaser but now he’s the keeper

Was chosen to be a prefect

His favorite perk is the fancy bathtub, which nhs has definitely bribed him to gain access to

Shares his dorm with wwx, and he’s always complaining how he has to drag him out of bed

Lan Wangji:

Ravenclaw

He do be out here being super creative with that Guqin, and also owning our asses with his intelligence

Patronus: Wild Rabbit

I’d estimate that he spent 90% of the first 3 years of school in the library

Insert intense glaring at wwx as he tries to sneak into the restricted section

Somehow missed that wwx played Quidditch until his brother dragged him to a game

Needless to say he never missed a Gryffindor game after that

Somehow he managed to score one point off of a perfect grade on his OWL

Y’all already know he’d be a prefect, do I even need to say it

His favorite place in the castle is the window seat in Ravenclaw tower

Pretends to protest wwx sneaking into his common room

Imagine: Wangxian Hogsmeade dates and wwx trying to get him to wear his Quidditch jersey

Lan Xichen:

Hufflepuff

Although I feel like you could make a strong case for Ravenclaw, but the compassion and open-mindedness wins out

Patronous: White Swan

Professors love him, even Snape manages to tolerate him, probably by his 5th year he’s friends with half his professors

His favorite class is herbology but he’s also really good at charms and transfiguration

Owns an owl that he shares with his brother that he named something dumb like “Harold”

Has the Daily Prophet delievered every morning, and always thanks “Harold”

He grew up in a pure blood family so he is fascinated by muggle culture, and he is constantly asking jgy questions

Once jgy shared music from his ipod (yknow like one of the og ipods) and it blew his mind

Probably tried to help the house elves in the kitchen at some point, but was kicked out because he caused more damage then actual help

Somehow he was made a prefect in his fourth year???

He just roots for the under dog in Quidditch games, which often leads to a friendly competition between he and his brother (Gryffindor is never the underdog, not with wwx and jc on the team)

Nie Huaisang:

Slytherin

Again do I even need to make a case for this???

Patronus: Sparrow

Doesn’t even try and hide the fact that he let’s wwx and jc into the Slytherin common room

Often sits at the Gryffindor table because he wants to sit with wwx and jc

Instead of studying, he is constantly trying to find ways to cheat by designing bewitched items

By his 7th year he has his own business selling his cheats

His favorite class is divination, everyone assumes it’s because he’s a believer, but in reality he finds the subject hilarious and he’s amazed how a scam can go so far as to have a full educational class dedicated to it

Forged his brother’s signature on the Hogsmeade form, because Mingjue told him he wasn’t allowed to go if he was failing a class

Can’t fly a broom for the life of him

Barely passed his OWLS

In general he’s far more concerned with gossip and playing match-maker then doing any of this school work (who do you think told lxc to bring lwj to a Gryffinsor Quidditch game??)

(My monkey Xiyao controled brain likes to think that he’s been trying to set the two of them up for years, but that might just be me)

Jin Guangyao:

Slytherin

AGAIN do I really need to explain my thought process on this??? He’s cunning and manipulative, case closed, I do not take critism

Patronus: Grass Snake

Struggles in conjouring magic, but makes up for it in written work and testing

In general he works very hard and is most likely top of his class, despite the lack of natural ability

His favorite class is potions, because it’s simply a matter of following directions

The first friend he made was lxc after realizing as first years that they had really similar class schedules and decided to study together

His mother was a muggle, and thus he was raised in the muggle world, so there’s a lot of prejudice from his housemates

Every once in awhile he’ll quietly ask lxc to explain something about the wizarding world

To the annoyance of his house, he was made a prefect

Somewhere along the way he befriended nhs

The relationship dynamic is as follows: jgy forces nhs to study, while nhs forces him to come with him to Hogsmeade (mainly so that he doesn’t have to pay for his own food)

Jiang Yanli:

Hufflepuff

She’s just so sweet, compassionate, and kind not to be a Hufflepuff

Patronus: Doe

Her favorite classes are Herbology and Care for Magical Creatures

She’s really good with animals

She read that you were allowed to bring an animal and immediately went out to buy a cat

Buys wwx snacks on the Hogwarts Express, even though she made him lunch

She brought a phonograph and a collection of records from home, and set it up in the common room

No one knows where it came from, but people started to slowly add to the collection of records

Now the common room is just constantly filled with music

Lxc knows it was her, but he didn’t see the harm in letting it stay, so he let it be (plus he also enjoys music)

She goes to Quidditch games and roots for Gryffindor despite... not being in Gryffindor (she’s a supportive sister)

Spent most of her 4th year stopping wwx from fighting Jin Zixuan (the year before she started dating him)

She really do be living the cliche dream of the Hufflepuff/Slytherin relationship

Jin Zixuan:

Slytherin

He’s the typical pompous, preppy, asshole, that people assiociate with Slytherins

Patronus: Peacock

The first thing he did when he got to Hogwarts was set up his side of the dorm room to make it more up to his “standards”

His dad tried to convince him to play Quidditch, but he refused

Basically ignores jgy’s existence.... even though they’re in the same house

Loathes herbology because it requires getting his hands dirty

Is racist(?) towards muggleborns

He always has a mob of girls surrounding him at all times, yet doesn’t know how to properly process his own feelings for Yanli

I’d say he’s trying his best but that would be a lie, he thinks he’s doing the most though

He takes school very seriously, and he scored pretty well on his OWLS

One time in potions something went wrong and his potion blew up in his face quite literally, and wwx hasn’t let him live that down

Xue Yang:

Slytherin

He is bad man grrrrrr and a sly bastard, so ofc he’s the house of snek

Patronus: Weasel

Everyone hates him, his professors, his housemates, even the ghosts avoid him

Except Peeves, in fact Peeves love him

Probably because he’s constantly messing with people

He’s the only person to rival wwx’s detention record

He is fantastic at defense against the dark arts

He likes to mess with Trelawney by purposely making death omens in his readings

He just doesn’t do assignments, yet does really well on exams and passes???

Snape would vouch for him, that’s the vibe I get

He plays as a beater on his Quidditch team, and he’s known for knocking people out

Xiao Xingchen:

Hufflepuff

He’s kind, selfless, and is always trying to see the good in people, which screams Hufflepuff

Patronus: Dragonfly

Is really good with charms

Even though he’s of age, he hates appariting and will do a lot to avoid it

Runs group study sessions, with the help of sl

A big activist in freeing house elves working for old families

Stops to have full conversations with the paintings

Is the only person in the school that tries to be friendly to Xue Yang

Song Lan:

Ravenclaw

He seems to have that very principled and intelligent nature of a Ravenclaw

Patronus: Dun Stallion

He doesn’t really have a lot of friends outside of xxc, but he doesn’t seem to mind

He’s that one person who actually enjoys professor Binns’ History of Magic class

He lets xxc drag him to Hogsmeade, even though the crowded shops make him uncomfortable

Shh it’s a secret but he also has a major sweet tooth and he will buy a shit ton of candy

Because of his scary amount of knowledge of Hogwarts and its history, he managed to find the room of requirement

So he and xxc end up moving their study sessions there when their group size outgrows the library

Anyway that’s all for now, but if you have a request be sure to ask!

Anyway I’m proud of the patronus choices I made for these, mostly. I know that it’s inevitable that someone will disagree with the house placements, so just note that these are purely my opinons.

On Peter’s magical abilities

This isn’t really a headcanon, mostly canon facts with a bit of my conclusions, but it’s essential for my portrayal, so I’ll put this one into the headcanon category. Here comes a long-ass essay on Peter Pettigrew’s magical and intellectual abilities, accompanied by every single objection I’ve ever witnessed during the years of being in Harry Potter fandom.

There is a lot of misconceptions about Peter Pettigrew that very few people are willing to dispel, because he’s just such a hated character, right?

The two Big Ones TM are: Peter’s reasons for betrayal (that will be covered in my next “essay”) and Peter’s magical skills. He is widely considered to be one of the weakest wizards in the whole Harry Potter series, if not THE weakest one. I hereby proclaim it bullshit. More under the cut.

1)  First thing’s first, Peter was one of the three youngest Animagi ever. At the age of 15 he pulled off a feat that not many adult wizards were able to do. Along with the registered Animagi and Rita Skeeter, there were 11 known Animagi in the 20th century total.

“But he needed help from James and Sirius, and was the last one to become an Animagus.”

McGonagall needed tutoring from Dumbledore to become an Animagus. Not from 15-year-old students, she got help from the most powerful wizard alive. Anyone here has enough balls to call McGonagall a weak witch? Yeah, didn’t think so.

Next, Peter being the last one. Before you embark on a serious enterprise, you study the materials and plan the steps. It was common knowledge that the process of becoming an Animagus was extremely dangerous. It could result in agony, it could result in irreversible mutilation or even death. If there is one thing that everyone remembers about Peter, it’s how easily scared he was.  Knowing all this, he ought to have lagged and postponed it as much as possible, until enough peer pressure had built up to finally make him go for it. Furthermore, the standard time for performing the tasks necessary for the first transformation is one month. No matter how talented or skilled you are, it’s one month of carrying a mandrake leaf in your mouth and repeating the incantation at every dawn and dusk. As soon as that term comes to an end, you have to wait for the first electric storm. Electric storms aren’t known for being exactly punctual. They depend on a million things. Taking into account that Peter did all that shit not at the same time with James and Sirius, he could’ve waited for his electric storm for ages, after James and Sirius had already completed the ritual.

“But in the flashback he couldn’t list the traits of a werewolf despite having spent a lot of time next to one, and he tried to crib his friends’ test answers. How talentless does one have to be for that?”

To be quite frank, I really hate when Peter gets compared to Neville, but remember Neville? It was very clear that Neville had anxiety. He’d forget things, lose his rememberall, make a fool of himself in front of the teachers and was overall clumsy. Then, in a critical situation, he showed himself as a talented wizard, and the fandom welcomed that change. Neville overcame his anxiety once he grew up and learned to deal with his inner demons, and voila, turned out he actually had talent in him, it just hadn’t surfaced before! Yes, the reason for Neville’s anxiety gets named and the reason for Peter’s doesn’t (which is food for thought in another headcanon), but does it really matter if they clearly had the same problem, and that’s what serves as the main reason for comparison of these characters? Anxious people tend to do much better once they are out of school, and here we move on to the next topic.

2) Peter was a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

“But the Marauders always had him in tow, so of course they made him join.”

The Order of the Phoenix was a near-military organization, its members fought in a war. It wasn’t a “participation award” kind of club. They couldn’t afford accepting inept wizards to make them feel better. They needed members who knew how to put up a fight, skilled, powerful members. Dumbledore was the head of the organization for fuck’s sake, and he was a better judge of people’s abilities than, say, Sirius.

3) When confronted by Black in the street, Peter neutralized Sirius faster than Sirius could neutralize him, framed Sirius for treason and mass murder, faked his own death and escaped. He came up with all of this in mere seconds, under immense pressure. This plan was so good it had worked for 13 years.

With his wand behind his back, Peter wrecked a square and turned 12 people into mince with a single spell, Confringo. Now, this is a dueling spell, normally used in dueling competitions. Not real life fights where wizards might aim to kill each other. There are several mentions of using Confringo in life-or-death battles, and the most known are: Harry destroying the flying motorcycle's side-car during the Battle of the Seven Potters and Hermione Granger trying to kill Nagini. A side-car is not a big deal, and Nagini lived on to the final chapters of the book. Evidence suggests that Confringo doesn’t normally have effects as devastating as when it was used by Peter. One spell, 12 victims and huge collateral damage.

“But he just said the incantation and pointed a wand, that’s easy.”

If that’s easy, why does most of the plot of Harry Potter books revolve around young wizards sweating away for seven years to learn to control and apply their powers when casting spells? Why aren’t they simply given lists of spells to memorize and graduate in a year? Why do inexperienced wizards end up accidentally killing themselves with the destructive magic they fail to control? See Crabbe burning himself to death with Fiendfyre. Why are other wizards in the story considered to be powerful for just shouting spells and pointing wands?

“But McGonagall said Peter was hopeless at dueling, and wasn’t in the rest of Marauders’ league talent-wise. And Sirius called Peter a talentless pathetic thing.”

First, see (1). Second, a character’s bias does not equal narrative truth. Rowling’s books are essentially detective stories that follow the laws of the genre. McGonagall’s and Rosmerta’s words (that fat little boy who worshipped James and Sirius) were supposed to lead us away from any assumptions about Peter other than him being a harmless, logical victim of Black’s crime. So that in the end we get shocked. The Ministry sent DEMENTORS and Hit Wizard Squads (equivalent of muggle S.W.A.T.)  after Sirius. All of this because they thought that Sirius had done what Pettigrew had actually done. We get this picture of Sirius as a terrifying dark wizard, but as soon as the culprit turns out to be Peter, he’s suddenly weak? But the killer seemed so nice and people told stories about him saving puppies! But Peter seemed so weak and people told stories about him being academically unsuccessful!

The Prisoner of Azkaban, chapter 10:

Fudge: “Nobody but trained Hit Wizards from the Magical Law Enforcement Squad would have stood a chance against Black once he was cornered. I was Junior Minister in the Department of Magical Catastrophes at the time, and I was one of the first on the scene after Black murdered all those people. I — I will never forget it. I still dream about it sometimes. A crater in the middle of the street, so deep it had cracked the sewer below. Bodies everywhere. Muggles screaming.”

Now replace “Black” with “Pettigrew”.

3)  Peter is able to cast Avada Kedavra (with a wand that wasn’t his own, which makes it harder to perform magic AND he didn’t even win the wand’s allegiance).

What does it prove, other than Peter being a filthy murderer once again?

The Goblet of Fire , chapter 14:

Crouch Jr as Alastor Moody:“Avada Kedavra’s a curse that needs a powerful bit of magic behind it — you could all get your wands out now and point them at me and say the words, and I doubt I’d get so much as a nosebleed.”

Crouch was insane, his words aren’t reliable.

Despite being a crazy Death Eater, Crouch Jr shares the title of the most effective DADA professor in Harry Potter history, along with Remus Lupin. I also doubt his mental issues prevented him from adequately estimating the features of Avada Kedavra.

4) Peter overpowered a Ministry employee Bertha Jorkins, helped Crouch overpower Moody who was known as the greatest auror of his time, and brewed the very first Polyjuice potion for Crouch.

“Voldemort calls Peter stupid and inept all the time and praises Crouch. Crouch must’ve overpowered Moody alone, and Peter was just a bonus.”

Voldemort is notoriously sadistic. He enjoys causing pain in all forms, mental and physical. He relishes people’s pain. He is also one of the best Legilimens users out there. Having such a rich history with Peter, Voldemort knows his every weak spot, every single one. Not only does he use Cruciatus on Peter liberally, he prods the old wounds, namely inferiority complex. And still, even Voldemort can’t refrain from admitting that Peter tends to have “moments of brilliance”. Peter was the one who found Voldemort when everyone else (the allegedly way more powerful and intelligent Death Eaters) had failed. Peter was the one who conjured a rudimentary body for Voldemort, and brought him back fully with the use of ancient magic even Voldemort doubted would work.

“Big deal, throwing a bone, a drop of blood, and a hand into a potion.”

Big deal, being good at potions? Ask the people who had Snape for teacher. Once again, Voldemort himself deemed the task to be complicated.  Anyone here wants to question Voldemort’s competence in magic? Magic is about inherent ability first and foremost, not the set of steps to complete. Otherwise there would be no such things as muggles and squibs.

“Peter just followed Voldemort’s instructions for that potion.”

And all wizards in the story followed instructions of their teachers at some point. Are they all weak? Peter (or anybody, really) clearly had no reason to be interested in THAT potion until he found Voldemort in his incorporeal state, so why would he learn how to make it beforehand? Harry had Snape’s textbook to help him excel at potions in his sixth year, but does that nullify his power overall? Also, everyone forgets that Peter DID graduate Hogwarts. That requires passing N.E.W.T. levels.

5) Other things: Peter took part in creating the incredibly intricate Marauder’s map. He can cast non-verbal spells (N.E.W.T.-level advanced Transfiguration spell Incarcerous on Harry, stunning Ron and Crookshanks (with another wizard’s wand), levitation of Harry), which are also considered advanced magic that requires outstanding abilities.

Peter Pettigrew is a lot of things, but a weak wizard he isn’t.

Harry Potter, Week 8

Draco Malfoy has a Thing for Harry Potter: Discuss He has turned into a bully by the point.  That was how my bullies acted when I was around them.  Finding out what you feel bad about, in this case Harry fainting when he first met a dementor, and making fun of it.  I didn’t have his friends to help me back when I was 8, so I just cried.

Draco Malfoy is a little shit: Discuss Oh boy is he, until the sixth or seventh book, he is a little shit who tries ever too hard to be in daddy’s good graces, to live up to his standards.  And his father will hear about this.  Always with his father, try to fix it yourself, don’t go crying to your parents!

Professor Trelawney’s “prophesies” - a lot of them are actually true, but she presents them in such a ludicrous manner and has to be all DEATH and BAD TIMES that she isn’t taken seriously. What do you think of Divination? Are you more like Lavender and Parvati or Hermione? I would have taken her class in a heartbeat, I find supernatural stuff so interesting.  I may have played off what she said as a joke, but she is correct on the most part.  I think I would have done great in her class, cause I regularly see things in everyday things, it doesn’t have to be tea leaves.  The predictions and her homework, I would have had fun doing that.

Could Hagrid be a good teacher if given the opportunity? If he had an assistant with him, Hagrid gets so into the creatures that he is showing that he sometimes forgets that he is half giant.  What looks small to him, may look big to the students he teaches.

How do substitutes work at Hogwarts? I don’t really know. I would think they would get a study period if the professor doesn’t show.  With Lupin and his turning into a werewolf every time the moon is full, he could accommodate.  Using Snape as the fill in, was not a great idea, he still hates Lupin and all of his friends.  I get this feeling of revenge with them.  Lupin just wants to have a good time, Snape has spite left in him, so he teaches the class difficult things, things they aren’t supposed to get to until later in the year, like how to recognize a werewolf.  On page 394.

Lupin: Love him or love him. Discuss. I adore him, he wants to do better with his life.  I can equate his werewolf condition as a physical handicap.  No one would want to hire him if his condition got out.  I feel the pain regularly, cause I am physically handicapped.  You might not know it when you first see me, but allow me to get tired and you’ll notice.

Snape: Great character, horrible human being. He is a sneaky bastard, with hate running through his veins.  Hate for Harry’s father and the rest of the crew he hung around with.  And with his frustrations taken out on mostly Harry, Hermione, and poor Neville.

Harry Potter Constantly Risks His Life For Sports: Discuss Most games, if it’s raining, not even thundering, they would call for a reschedule.  But oh no, not for wizards, they think it’s a fun game of trying not to slip off your wet broom as high winds try to knock you off, or get electrocuted and plummet to the ground.  I really think it should have been cancelled.  Stupid school for not cancelling it, and stupid teachers for allowing it to happen and not see the dangers.

Marauder’s Map and Fred and George: Discuss A supposed dead guy is sleeping next to Ron every night?  Well, better not tell him about it and instead do some hijinks with Filch.  What dumb asses, I’m sorry, but at the moment, they were dumb asses.

Do you remember how you felt when you first read about Sirius “betraying” the Potters? How do you feel now? I felt so sad for him when I was little.  How he was after Harry, and wouldn’t leave him alone, even went so far to attack the fat lady who guarded the common room.  But it was scabbers he was after.  I didn’t realize until the middle of the book, or something, before the two have to go back in time.

Share any headcanons you have about these chapters. Welp, have I told you about I think Crookshanks was once the Potter’s forgotten cat?  Cause of his eagerness to go after scabbers every chance he got?  Cause I do.

I’ve been wanting to do a Harry Potter read through for a while now but have never really had a lot of time and…frankly I don’t know if I can really add a lot to the discussion that hasn’t already been said. But to heck with it! May as well! XD

Quick warning: I have read the series countless times – this is NOT my first read through and I WILL make frequent references to things that occur in future books – possibly as well as Pottermore, companion books and JK Rowling’s comments in interviews and on her twitter.

If you have somehow not read the series yet, please do not read this! Instead, I would highly recommend reading the books. Once you have inevitably fallen in love with the series, come back to me and we can gush about it together! :D

Quick introduction if you’re reading this and have no idea who I am, I’m Leigh! I’m a Hufflepuff and my patronus is a mink. I never actually did the Ilvermorny test – I considered it but if I was to attend one of the great schools, I would be attending Hogwarts (or Queen Maeve’s school if that’s still around. Personally I like to believe it is. The big ones we have names for ARE just the most prestigious after all). Anyhow, basically I just never bothered with finding my Ilvermorny house as it wouldn’t really apply to me anyhow….

Anyway, lets just jump into this! I plan on reviewing a chapter at a time for the moment. I don’t know how often I’ll post new reviews but I’m aiming to do 1 a week for now J (although I imagine it’d take me years to cover the series at that pace so hopefully I will post more often than that at times).

Chapter 1 – The boy who lived.

One of the very few non-Harry POV chapters (I think 5? Poor Frank Bryce in the beginning of Goblet, The Other Minister in Half-Blood, Narcissa and Bellatrix’s meeting with Snape, also half blood and the death eater meeting in Hallows!). Actually, I think out of the five Other POV chapters, this might be my least favourite. Frank > The Other Minister > Narcissa & Snape > Death Eater Meeting > this one.

I think one thing that’s fascinating is just how young these characters are to be so..established. If I remember correctly, Petunia is a year younger than Lily who was 21 when she died. So Petunia’s 20, married, owns a house and has a one year old child. Which would also have made Petunia a teen mum – the sort of person that you would THINK the Dursleys would look down on.

“Mr Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills.”

And as much as we all dislike the Dursleys, it is impressive how well Vernon has done in his career. I don’t think we’re ever given the impression that Vernon Dursley is much older than Petunia and yet he’s the director of his company. In his early 20s….man, does that make me feel like a complete an utter failure!

“Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley’s sister, but they hadn’t met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn’t have a sister.”

Casual reminder that for all Petunia’s seeming loathing for her sister, they were exchanging letters and gifts in secret. In many ways, Petunia and Vernon seem made for each other – apart from them both being pretty nasty, they do seem to work pretty well together as a couple; but the fact that her husband doesn’t even know that Petunia maintains correspondence with Lily also seems really…REALLY unhealthy!

I know JK is highlighting Dudley’s tantrum to contrast him against his sweet, angelic orphan cousin but considering Dudley’s a year old here, it seems rather ridiculous and judgmental on JO’S part to condemn him for this.

“wearing an emerald-green clock!”

There is a really fascinating piece on Pottermore called ‘Colours’ which everyone should read. Despite the rather uninteresting title, the content is really interesting. The most magical colours are purple (the colour that we see on Dumbledore most frequently, if I’m not mistaken) and green - green representing rebirth, death and misfortune. Apt clothing choice on the part of this wizard given Voldemort’s apparent death! J Later in this chapter, Vernon knocks into another wizard who is wearing a purple cloak.

“And the old man hugged Mr. Dursley around the middle and walked off”.

I don’t think Jo’s ever said who this old man is, but I low key headcanon that this was Dedalus Diggle, the wizard who bow to Harry in a shop when Harry was a child. We also know that that night, he was suspected to have been responsible for the shooting stars which appeared on the news.

Actually, rather aside from the point but given that Diggle and other wizards appear around Harry, I tend to assume that the blood connection charm around Harry and the Dursleys worked and  that Death Eaters and other followers of Voldemort would have tried and failed to attack Harry and Privet drive in Harry’s childhood unbeknownst to them.

“The newscaster allowed himself a grin. ”Most Mysterious.”

Ted Tonks you little shit! Someone’s enjoying being the only one in the station in the know as to what’s going on.

“Harry. Nasty, common name, if you ask me.”

Clearly Petunia wasn’t consulted by the Royal Palace considering this is ’81 and Prince Harry was born in ’84…actually because I’m a dummy with no life, I googled it. The name ‘Harry’ had been steadily declining in popularity since the 1940s. And then Prince Harry was born and for the first time in decades, the name became more popular. Petunia must have been furious!

Anywho, back to Potter!

Thank goodness JK retconned the ‘put-outer’, renaming it the Deluminator. Perhaps Dumbledore had only JUST invented it and was still looking for a good name!

Given that Mcgonagall says that the news of Voldemort’s demise at Harry’s hands are ‘rumors’ and rather than say that Voldemort is dead, opts for the word ‘disappeared’, it seems that, like Dumbledore, McGonagall doesn’t believe that Voldemort is dead. Hagrid later mentions that Dumbledore doesn’t believe that Voldemort is really dead – just biding his time, so it makes you wonder – has McGonagall since changed her mind or is she simply less vocal about her belief about Voldemort? Or is it JUST because McGonagall hasn’t come up at all in conversation yet?

McGonagall’s grief over Lily and James’ deaths really gets to me. She’s known them since they were 11. She’s watched them grow up. McGonagall is very motherly to Harry and the other kids in her house and I can only assume this was true for Lily and James too.

“We’ve had precious little to celebrate for eleven years”

and

“All this ‘You-Know-Who’ nonsense – for eleven years I have been trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name”

pretty clearly establishes that Voldemort was in power from the years 1970-1981. I don’t know if there’s any significance to the number ‘11’ but it is interesting that Voldemort first reappears in this book, when Harry is 11 years old.

I can’t help but wonder if Dumbledore’s golden watch has functions similar to Molly Weasley’s clock. Of course, it has planets on it rather than names or faces but perhaps that’s because it’s SUPPOSED to be rather cryptic. I think rather than family, on his watch are members of the Order. It allows him to see which Order members are travelling, dead or in ‘mortal peril’ and therefore he knows when they might need backup or when they’re travelling and therefore their mission might have gone on without a hitch. Therefore it’s very important that the watch only be understood by Albus least anything happen to him and the watch fall into the wrong hands. Maybe I’m thinking far too much about a watch which I don’t believe we ever see again but oh well! :D

A lot of people seem to believe Lily’s protection and the blood protection spell are the same thing. Just a reminder, Lily’s protection was cast over Harry with her death and prevents Voldemort from harming Harry. The protection spell links Harry to Privet Drive through Lily’s blood. It’s NOT part of Lily’s protection though. It was cast by Dumbledore and is in place as long as he calls Privet Drive home. And you know, if Dumbledore wasn’t such an ass, I’m sure he could’ve thought of a much better solution than tying Harry to the Dursleys. For example, Sirius. Sirius is Harry’s legal godfather. Surely he could’ve cast a spell that played on the legal aspect to tie Harry to someone who actually cared about his wellbeing and would see to it that Harry grew up in a happy, loving home – and you know, would actually tell Harry stories about Lily and James and show him photos of his parents….not that I’m bitter or anything Dumbles…

“Young Sirius Black lent it to me.”

As much as Cursed Child would like us to forget that Sirius was there, lets all remember that his world was falling apart as well. We know that the Marauders had fallen apart a little – none of them trusted Lupin and believed him to be the spy. So to find out that the only friends you have left were murdered and betrayed by your only other friends…I don’t blame Sirius for laughing hysterically when Peter escaped him the next day. What a great birthday eve for poor Sirius!

I know the fandom talks a lot about the missing hours between Hagrid picking Harry up from Godric’s Hallow in the morning and appearing with him at Privet Drive that night (personally I like the headcanon that Hagrid brought baby Harry to some celebratory parties as the guest of honour), but seriously, what about the missing hours between Voldemort killing Lily and James the night before (early enough for there to be children trick-or-treating for Voldemort to contemplate murdering) and the morning? No one, muggle or magical hears the explosion that destroyed the Potter house? Or the screaming baby that would’ve been lying in the rubble all night? Even if we assume that no one heard the explosion because of the fidelius charm (although the explosion was when he tried to kill Harry. The fidelius charm would’ve broken with James and Lilys’ deaths), NO ONE heard the screaming baby? NO ONE?! Bathilda was right next door – idk what sleeping pills she must’ve been on to have missed poor baby Harry all night but...any chance you could share some Bathilda? When my stress and anxiety is high, I get really bad insomnia. Pills strong enough to help you sleep through the next door house being blown up might be helpful.

“But I c-c-can’t stand it – Lily an’ James dead – an’ poor Harry off ter live with Muggles-“

Although Hagrid lives on the school grounds and the trio and Ginny are good friends with Hagrid, most of the kids at school don’t befriend Hagrid.  I think it’s sweet that Lily and James obviously seemed to have been pretty good friends with Hagrid as well – enough for Hagrid to mourn them rather than celebrate like most of the wizarding community are.

he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs. Dursley's scream 

Seriously though, between the missing 24ish hours and Dumbledore leaving Harry on the doorstep overnight in early NOVEMBER, it’s nothing short of a miracle that baby Harry didn’t catch pneumonia...

So...yeah :) That’s chapter 1, if you have anything to add to the discussion, I’d love to hear from you :) Otherwise, I’ll be back in a few days with chapter 2.

so i know it was a while back but i found fowl pals going through my bookmarks and i really loved that fic lol can you please give us a few hcs in that verse? xD

Fowl Pals

Summary: 

@strangesoulmates on Tumblr Prompted: If you're still taking prompts, I would love a Tomarry fic with them as anonymous pen-pals (owl pals?) meeting in person for the first time.

Tags: AU, Pen Pal AU, Bad!Dumbles, Bad!Potters, Basically Dumbles and Potters are too far up the Light side’s ass and are self-righteous assholes, BWL(defeated Grindelwald, Voldy doesn’t exist in-universe), Flirting, Drama.

Headcanons:

1. Harry’s parents got too invested in Dumbledore’s BS and practically worship him and his actions. They emulated him to the point of becoming incredibly arrogant and self-righteous.

Since Harry ‘defeated’ Grindelwald, he has been in the spotlight for his entire life, and James obviously loves it because he’s an attention seeking asshole who thinks he’s the best thing since Merlin. The fame brings a lot of Dumbledore’s attention upon the Potter family though, with Dumbledore coming around frequently to make sure that Harry is still ‘pure of heart and soul’ and performs routine check ups on Harry, using Legilimency often.

Harry resents them for taking his privacy, his time, and basically treating anyone that doesn’t agree with them, like shit.

2. Tom isn’t necessarily gay. He is Demi-Romantic though. And he grew to have a crush on his Fowl Pal after months of writing back and forth to each other. He thinks Harry is attractive aesthetically, but his interest was caught by Harry’s mind first and foremost. Harry is Bisexual though in this fic.

3. Tom plans to take over the entire community of Magical Britain with Harry. Both have ideas and things they want to change and Tom intends to do something about all the problems, with Harry by his side. Harry has pretty much guessed what Tom will be up to and approves wholeheartedly.

Tom courts and tutors Harry appropriately and Hermione helps because she has some things she wants to be changed and it would just be better for all of them to work together. Knowledge should be shared, not hidden, in her opinion.

4. Severus Snape, the Potions Professor, ends up becoming their confidant. Snape and Harry used to be on bad terms until Harry proved to be nothing like his shitty parents. He isn’t nice, but decent is the best way to describe it. Tolerant of their actions.

It is by his credentials that he can teach at Hogwarts, because ignoring a Potions Master would be foolish. He is watched closely by Dumbledore and the Order because he has a Dark Grey Core and is suspicious to their sensibilities. (There were no Death Eaters in this and he didn’t follow Grindelwald, so it’s just bias and bigotry that drives their actions.)

And Severus was never friends with Lily to begin with and didn’t know each other in Cokeworth. He hates her as much as he hates James.

5. Harry ends up being the one to propose to Tom once all the pieces are together and the takeover can go on as planned. Tom had planned to propose but Harry is impatient as hell so he just decided to take the control.

This is only done once Harry secrets away a large sum of the Potter fortune and basically anything he can, thereby not leaving himself destitute when word gets out about his marriage. The funds will be used to help gain he and Tom prominent support in the Ministry.

Hermione gets a job in the Ministry and becomes a high ranking official in a Head position.

6. They adopt a little girl the day Tom is declared the new Minister for Magic. She is a Werewolf cub and they name her Sylvia. She ends up going to Durmstrang when she grows older and has a Dark Core.

Papa Tom is very protective and has already prepared a ridiculously long speech for when she finally gets into a relationship. Her significant other will be in for one hell of a shovel talk. Threats of dismemberment will be on the list, and promises to do horrible things should she ever cry.

Harry’s plan is to wing it and hope he’s threatening enough.

7. The little Riddle family lives well and it pisses the Potters off so badly, they become angry and try to start shit, and get busted. The Potter Estate is left to ruin since Harry was disowned once he got married to a ‘Dark Wizard’ and no one ever goes to try to take what is left. The Potter name fades into nothing. 

8. Dumbles goes out with a bang and his reputation is left in tatters once Harry comes clean about his experiences at the hands of his ‘family’.

9. Tom finally gives his shovel talk and it is glorious.

^-^ Hope those are good for you. A classic Bad Potters fic I suppose. Though if you support the actions of those in the Light, you would probably think they are Good.

Potions Headcanon

Hello. I am late again. Anyway, here’s my Day 2: Potions Master of Snape Appreciation Month. Let’s get on with it. Yeet!

Since he is a potions master, he visits a lot of shops. I don’t mean mainstream ones like those in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, I mean those little private businesses that are native to the lands in which many of his ingredients are from. The ingredients are usually fresher and he wants to see these kind people live in the realm of magic, though he would never admit it. By doing this, he’s made many acquaintances throughout the world, many of them considering him a friend of theirs because he’s one of the rare few that doesn’t harshly judge any of them for making a simple living of selling fresh ingredients. There is one elderly man in particular that Severus always looks forward to seeing again when he needs potion ingredients from Africa. The elderly man always offers great wisdom, beautiful stories, a kind face, bomb-ass tea, and somehow always makes Severus feel like a small child no matter his age when he visits the elderly man.

When Voldemort returns, no one suspects Severus a DE because his charges were minimal to none, so his involvement wasn’t as widely known as other DE. The people that work in those shops know Severus Snape as the man who, while not always agreeable, was always offering to help in any way he could; they wouldn’t be able to fathom Severus a DE.

Come seventh year, each owner of these little businesses notices Severus acting different–more reserved, not as open to conversation, more anxious though he is good at hiding it. There was an old lady in Russia Severus accidentally snapped at. She was frightened and squeaked. Upon hearing that, Severus muttered an apology, then went on his way, believing she could not forgive him for that incident. He was wrong.

When Severus visits the old man in Africa, the old man does not inquire as to Severus’ changed disposition; he actually ignores it and pretends Severus hasn’t changed. For this, Severus is grateful because that means some stability in his ludicrous life.

About a month before the Battle of Hogwarts, Severus makes one last stop at this old man’s business and it is then that the old man acknowledges Severus’ changed demeanor. The old man invites Severus to tea in his little greenhouse, and there he starts speaking, rambling like old men do. He reminisced about the years before the whole atrocity, recalling some memories in an attempt to get a laugh or at least a smile on Severus’ face, the one that used to be filled so much hope and innocence that only appeared once in a blue moon as a child, even rarer as an adult. The old man never was graced with even a relaxed Severus and it hurt his heart. He dismissed Severus after the purchases, catching Severus off-guard with his final words: “The reunion of your heart is soon upon you.”

The old man had the misfortune of feeling every death in the Battle of Hogwarts, every innocent one at least. I don’t mean innocent as in child innocence or free-of-sin innocence, I speak of the innocence that the abused and young souls seem to preserve, no matter how bitter or angry or not-innocent they seem to the naked eye; this innocence takes an extremely trained eye and an even more experienced soul. Among those, Severus’ was the strongest because he never deserved the ending he got; he never deserved to have his life ended by the hand of the foulest creature to walk this earth; he didn’t deserve to die.

Shit, now I wanna write a fanfiction about this. I also may have made myself cry a little. @snapeloveposts

*invasive asks, don't have to answer if you don't want* I keep wondering what is the appeal of slasher movies (nothing wrong with them, just not my thing)? I never read The Cursed Child, what's that about and what do you like about it?

these are good questions don’t worry xoxo

a) i can’t actually explain my penchant for slasher movies in a tumblr-wise moral manner, bc obviously slasher is a genre that tends to be filled with shit like fetishization and a demonization of mental illness and whatever else i can’t list it all right now it’s just a very flawed genre.  so i can’t really discuss it on that kind of intellectually moral level - they are very much a guilty pleasure that i feel i’m permitted.

the thing is that they are such a cheesy b-movie genre that it’s hard to be feel supremely guilty about it?  obviously they’ve gained some mainstream focus that necessitates serious discussion about various harmful shit going on, and i could go more into it if prompted and if i consider myself capable, but they are also SO DUMB.  not dumb some are smart-ish but you always know what to expect from them, you can always expect some dumb caricatures to get slaughtered, expect some final girl expy to limp their way to survival, you can expect the build up, and if there’s a surprise then that’s just an extra treat.  i guess it’s kind of cathartic, being able to exorcise some of my more serious anxieties through them, even when they get positively decadent in the blood and gore and sadism

i guess that while i also like horror as a general genre and am super happy to discuss horror films that take themselves more seriously (ie babadook, get out, that kind of stuff i sincerely believe that horror has great potential for commentary that often gets overlooked or underdeveloped), it’s a bit easier to latch onto singular slasher villains fandom-wise (your michael’s and jason’s and i guess the freddy’s altho freddy can go choke) than it is for more concept-based horrors, bc you don’t NECESSARILY have to take them seriously and you can just have some fun with them (altho they do have their place in a serious discussion, like how michael and jason are horrors that stalk otherwise safe environments, or how freddy is literally thematically about violation)

it’s hard to really explain in a justifiable way rather than a guilty-pleasure way, and i can’t really argue that i’m somehow a morally superior person for liking them and i don’t want to bc that’s dumb and exhausting.  they just tend to be fun i guess.

b) okay so what cursed child is about is essentially the relationship between harry and his son, albus severus, and how they are both essentially similar in ways that, coupled with harry’s complicated legacy and upbringing, drive them apart and eventually bring them back together, particularly in their opinions on hogwarts - this results in albus jr attempting to one-up his father via what albus understands as his first failure (cedric’s death) through time travel.  things escalate from there.

honestly i think that cursed child is a really important continuation of the themes and lessons from the main harry potter series in a more grown-up sense, and i really hate how it’s been spoiled on this site by a bunch of dumb spoilers that never fit well out of context.

like part of the problem i think is that a lot of ppl online tend to a) overidealize harry as some sassy angel child and b) try to freeze him at 11-17 years old rather than consider how his adolescent experiences might map onto who is is as an adult father.  so when he says “sometimes i wish you weren’t my son”, they decide to ignore the context leading up to that moment (albus essentially needling and baiting harry and accidentally touching upon triggers relating to his past abuse, and the two of them essentially having two different conversations) and then everything afterwards (harry’s horror and guilt over speaking in a moment of anger and spite, as he was prone to in the main series, and his desperation to protect and apologize to albus in a time where he’s triggered for a sustained period of time and afraid that his greatest enemy is somehow returning), and decide to declare that jkr must not know her own characters if she dares to write harry as a “bad dad”.  as much as ppl like to try and discuss how terrible it was for harry to suffer abuse at the dursley’s, they sure seem to want to underestimate how it affects him in the long run.  and by fuck does cursed child dig into what harry went through with the dursley’s, particularly petunia!  he’s having nightmares about her and this gets discussed and ppl still like to act like this play misrepresents how he suffered!  it’s so fucking stupid!

i guess i also can’t really lie - i initially bought into all the bad hype surrounding the play when spoilers were released, tho i hope in a more muted way than a lot of ppl i followed, and i only really got interested when i read a particularly moving think-piece about snape, and then i knew i had to have it bc i cannot stress enough how snape was One Of Those Characters that i latched onto in my childhood, and how it felt good to be a bit vindicated in the face of how this website trashes him.  also i cried a lot w snape bc it’s such good closure for his character, it helps you understand how his character potentially developed in the light of the main series, and also i got a better understanding of dumbledore too like you got the impression after the kings cross chapter in dh but when he admitted his insecurities re: how he only hurts the ppl he loves in cc?  it literally like blew his character wide open for me, it really helped me piece together a lot of the things i was unsure about with him.  so i also think it provides a lot of retroactive understanding and clarification of the characters that some ppl like to deliberately misinterpret for notes 

also ppl’s complaints about the time-travel plots are fucking stupid to be perfectly honest, esp in comparison to POA.  first off, poa did hint that it’s possible to change the timeline, cc established that we are working with very different time-travel tools than in poa, and thirdly in poa time-travel was a plot device and in cc it’s a thematic device so who even gives a fuck honestly.

basically: i think the play is a vital and important continuation and conclusion of the original series and its thematic elements, and if ppl don’t like then what the fuck ever but at least they can try to dislike it on legitimate grounds rather than things they heard secondhand or deliberately misinterpreted/decided didn’t fit with their headcanon

i can actually talk like.  a lot about this play bc there was a lot of what i liked and what i think tumblr should like if everyone could carefully remove their heads from their asses.  there are a few things i think could have been improved (while i don’t think it was necessarily baiting, i do believe scorpius/albus was a sorely missed opportunity), the play is more positive than it negative and i would kill to see it onstage.  i guess if ppl don’t like reading script it’s fine but honestly i loved the script, but i’m also fairly used to reading script so idk

also it justified my belief that hermione would be an awful teacher and i feel vindicated even tho i have not seen anyone talk about it tbh

also it made my mother cry (in a good way) and she loved it and that’s literally all the assurance anyone should need. my mom’s a good person and everyone should trust her.

That guard who’s walking up behind Ron looks muggle af. Why don’t they give these guys proper wizarding robes?!

GRIPHOOK YOU SLICK GIT

Well that goblin that got roasted by the dragon is super dead

Gringotts just went through a massacre. Welp.

“We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose.” Harry Potter, a summary.

Lol Aberforth’s savage. “Where would you be if I didn’t [have the mirror]?”

Ugh I hate how Ariana looks like she’s 20 SHE’S A FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD.

THE BIRTHDAY BOY’S HERE (Neville I mean)

Goah I love Alan Rickman and the way he does Snape with the pauses and everything

YAS MINNIE SLAY HIM SLAY HIM

Oh here comes Voldy with his creepy monologue

SHUT UP PANSY

Lol Filch no one asked

Ok I think it’s really messed up how Minnie just dismisses Slytherin and everyone else cheers. No matter they’re all so bitter

YES SEAMUS’ EXPLOSIONS FINALLY GET TO BE USEFUL

Minnie looks so happy with herself when she says “I’ve always wanted to use that spell” What a cutie

YES LUNA TELL HIM

Damn that army is big

Bitch just tell him where it is [the diadem]!

I have a headcanon that Kingsley and Remus have a small rivalry going on.Like, they always seem so uptight around each other

RONKS

I don’t get why the Elder Wand cracked in the movie. Yeah the wand didn’t work well for Voldy, but they never said that it cracked in the books

RUN NEVILLE RUN

YAS KINGSLEY KICK SOME ASS

Ugh I feel so bad for the Slytherins. At least they broke out tho.

Lol Hermione is so in love with Ron when he figures out the map thing.

Ron getting protective over Hermione is so freaking adorable

YAS ABERFORTH KICK SOME DEMENTOR ASS

Okay, so snape is an asshole, but even I’m cringing as he gets killed.

Nuu FREEEEDDDDDD!

RONKS!!! NOOOOO

First year Snily and Marauders are adorbs

Lol Sev would you like some peanut and butter with that jelly?

Aww poor Harry looks 500% done. He got duped by Dumbledick so hard.

UGH I HATE HOW RON’S JUST STANDING THERE WHILE HERMIONE HUGS HARRY. THAT’S HIS BEST FRIEND SURRENDERING TO DEATH. THEY WEREN’T EVEN SUPPOSED TO SAY GOODBYE. THAT’S WHAT MADE IT SADDER

The ressurection stone is here. Ugh...the feels

“Until the end.” UGGGGHHH MY HEART

Omgs Hagrid sounds so heartbroken NUUUUUUUU 

NO ONE’S DYING EXCEPT YOU YOU NO NOSED BITCH

Okay, Dumbledore’s a dick, but he has some of the best quotes in the series. 

Exhibit A: “Of course it’s happening inside your head Harry. Why should that mean that it’s not real?”

OMGS BELLATRIX JUST GOT REJECTED BY VOLDEMORT SO HARD GET REKT BITCH

Lol Narcissa literally played everyone with one word. What an icon.

The worst thing about this is that Hagrid is the one who has to carry Harry’s body. Also, Voldy do me a favor and never laugh again.

Gosh that hug is so damn awkward.

NEVILLE STOP TUGGING AT MY HEART STRINGS. 

YES YES YES SHIT IS GOING DOWN SHIT HAS HIT THE FUCKING FAN SHIT HAS HIT THE FAN

Does Nagini rob people of their ability to remember that they have a wand because this is the second time the trio physically try to fight that damn snake? YOU’RE A WITCH HERMIONE YOU HAVE A WAND FUCKING USE IT

YES MOLLY YES MOLLY YASS KICK HER ASS

Why does Voldy keep using physical force to fight? That’s way too muggle. He’d definitely use magic in a lot of places where he doesn’t.

Harry: -falls off several stories down and gets pulled into a wild fight while having his head jerked around- -glasses stay on his face Me: -moves an inch- -glasses fall off my face-

YES IT’S HAPPENING IT’S HAPPENING

Ugh Voldy looks like he’s constipated. Here we go with the disintergrating thing. Why couldn’t they just have him die like a normal person?

AWW THAT HUG WITH HAGRID MENDED MY HEART JUST A LITTLE

Ugh him standing on that edge gave me so much anxiety. I definitely thought he was gonna fall off

UGH WHY YOU GOTTA SNAP THE WAND HARRY YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO FIX YOUR OWN WAND WITH THAT UGHHHHHHHH

Aww I’m tearing up and it’s not even the Epilogue.

Lily Luna looks way too happy.

All the kids are so cut and the trio looks so content and ahhhh the feels!

So overall this movie destroyed my fangirl with all the angst. I did think the final battle was done a bit sloppily, but other than that it was great. This whole reaction thing was lots of fun to do! I hope you enjoyed it too if you read it. I’ll be kinda busy tomorrow with summer homework and stuff, but hopefully I’ll have time to react to OotP.

Oh! Forgot one thing. Happy birthday to Neville and Harry!
