[spiralofdragonfanarts]

A fanfic fanart for Jury of Hearts by @absumoaevum . Such a good fic and I’m looking forward to seeing where it’s going and I really wanted to draw the resident damaged cat Slytherin getting dog piled by golden retrievers Hufflepuffs. I don’t think this exact scene happens in the fic, but these are the vibes I got.

Go read the fic here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52722472

Chapter 5: Blaise Zabini and the journey to the Hufflepuff common room

Series Masterlist

Blaise doesn’t frequently feel genuine hatred for people but there was no better way to describe 

how he felt towards Dumbledore when he heard him rumble, “Prefects, lead your Houses back to the dormitories immediately!” after learning that a troll was in the dungeons.

You know, where the Slytherin dorms are. 

Are you fucking kidding me?

Immediately all the Slytherins turned to their prefects, sixth years William Selwyn and Aliyah Fawley. “Where are we supposed to go?” cried Milicent Bulstrode from further down the table, as William tried to reach Professor Snape and Aliyah did her best to calm the terrified Slytherins. 

They settled on bringing everyone up to the seventh floor to hide in an abandoned classroom, which proved far more difficult than it should have been given the staircases moving at their own accord. By the time Blaise reached the fourth floor he was separated from the mass of Slytherins who didn’t notice his departure in their haste. The staircases then choose to avoid him, moving as far away from him as possible. Blaise rushed down a familiar corridor passing a stack of barrels and running to the portrait of fruit. He was suddenly dragged backwards by a hand pulling on his arm. Turning to see who on earth was holding him back from salvation in the kitchens, he met eyes with Isabella who continued to pull him back towards the barrels. She quickly tapped on the barrels which opened to reveal a winding staircase.

“Go go go go!” Isabella urged as she pushed him down the stairs following closely behind him. 

“Reyes, I’m 95 percent sure this is kidnapping.” Blaise said relaxing now that he was out in the open.

“Blaise shut up and keep walking before I drag you to the dungeons and feed you to the troll myself.” she threatened, keeping her hand firmly on his back, forcing him forward. 

After descending what Blaise could only describe as an ungodly amount of stairs, they reached a large wooden door which swung open as they approached. “Welcome to the Home of the Hufflepuffs.” Isabella sang with a smug tone as she saw Blaise’s eyes widen.

What lay before him was a large room, two stories with a high sloped ceiling. The walls were a light brown and had vines and plants naturally growing on them. Pillars from the first floor all the way to the second, wooden archways connecting them together are also overcome with vines. The second story was adorned with a balcony allowing for an outlook of the entire first floor. The balconies had plants dropping over their edges as well. The first floor had several black couches, armchairs, tables, and desks accompanied with many throw pillows and blankets ( some black others in varying shades of yellow). The second had several hallways which Blaise assumed led to the Hufflepuff dormitories and a vast window charmed similarly to the ceiling in the Great Hall. The center of the first floor had a fire pit with a gold fire that crackled gently providing plenty of warmth for the common room without endangering the plants surrounding the room. 

“The fire never dies, only decreasing and increasing as necessary.”, informed Isabella’s voice as she gently guided him into the common room and to a couch by his hand. “You can hide out here until we get word from the professors saying that it's safe.”

“Right.” is all Blaise could say as he realized he felt more comfortable in the seconds he’s been in the Hufflepuff common room than he’s ever felt in the Slytherin’s.

“I’m going to go let Noah know that you’re here, okay? Just hang out here and make yourself at home.”, with a soft smile she climbed the stairs and disappeared down a hallway. 

Now alone Blaise let himself sink into the couch and reached for a pastel yellow throw blanket, covering himself with it. 

If Malfoy saw me like this he’d make my life hell, Blaise thought to himself as his eyes drooped, falling into a deep sleep.

Blaise awoke to the sound of pages turning and Frank Sinatra's smooth voice declaring his love.

You are my way of life, the only way I know, you are my way of life

I’ll never let you go.

Opening his eyes he saw that he was now joined by Isabella who was reading The Tales of Beedle the Bard on the other side of the couch. “How long was I asleep?”

She looked over at a clock embedded into the wall, “Just over two hours. They found the troll by the way. Noah, that's our boy Prefect, told Professor Sprout about you. Professor Sprout let Snape know that you were here, she told me to make sure you knew you could stay for as long as you like.``

“That’s nice.” Blaise responded, settling back into the couch. 

“If you want you can stay and meet the others tomorrow morning.” 

“Yeah whatever you say Reyes.” he muttered as sleep consumed him again.

That’s how Blaise found himself here, in the kitchens at 6am (an hour before his scheduled wake up time) wearing the same clothes as the day before eating breakfast with some of the Hufflepuffs of his year. “How exactly do you all know the elves again?” Blaise asked as he blew on his porridge.

“Part of the induction into Hufflepuff is introducing yourself to the elves since we are so close to the kitchens.” clarified Wayne Hopkins, a quiet boy that Blaise had noticed was consistently overlooked in class.

“Everybody in Hufflepuff knows the elves.” Ernie Macmillan added unnecessarily, given that is just what Wayne said.

“Do you guys always wake up this early?” he questioned, rubbing his eyes.

“No,” Isabella said with conviction, staring intensely at her eggs with bacon “thankfully.” she added under her breath clearly offended by how early it was.

“Whenever we eat in the kitchens Megan likes to wake us up extra early so that we aren’t in the way of the elves.” Susan Bones explained.

Susan was a kind girl, the type of person to bring people into conversations whenever she felt they were being left out. Blaise could admire this trait… so long as she never attempted to do the same to him.

“It's only fair since we are asking them to cook for us separately from everyone else.” Megan Jones exclaimed indignantly. Everyone grew quiet at this, it seemed as though they had already had this discussion several times before.

“Where is Smith?” 

Zacharias Smith was the kind of person that Blaise didn’t like. Not to the degree of Malfoy but certainly getting there. He was obnoxious and the type of person to insert himself into situations he did not need to be in. 

“Oh, he didn’t want to come with us.” Justin Finch-Fletchley confessed with a mischievous smile that told Blaise he hadn’t tried very hard to convince Smith to join. Blaise quickly decided he didn’t mind Finch-Fletchley.

In fact, by the time they had finished eating Blaise decided he didn’t mind the group at all. He enjoyed seeing the group interact with each other, how the girls defended Wayne when Ernie kept repeating everything he said but louder, how Reyes would lightly make fun of them with no bite to her words and everyone seemed to understand that was just how she was. 

Maybe it wouldn’t have been the worst thing to be sorted into Hufflepuff, Blaise accepted as he dragged his feet back down to the dungeons and away from the welcoming Hufflepuffs.

Author's notes: this chapter is short as hell but I feel it is a good enough introduction to the Hufflepuffs and the common room. We are going to see a lot more of them so hopefully this was a good foundation. As always comment to share thoughts and like if you enjoy, thank you for reading. ALSO thank you for all the support, the comments, the likes and the reblogs are so encouraging so thank you.

❄️HARRY POTTER REC FEST 2023❄️

Lightning round because i for sure got distracted and never finished after day 12

so here we go i wont go into too much detail for any of these I did skip a couple that i didn't have an idea for as expected but enjoy!

13. A fic with over 100k words 

Percy Take the Wheel by KittySmith

My personal favorite long Percy-centric fic!

Based on the concept of “What if Molly and Arthur died between the first and second books and Percy ended up being the brother to step up to take care of his younger siblings”

14. A favorite series

Harry Potter and the Ticket Backwards by viciousmouse

Gen Time travel Au’s my beloved. Another Harry goes back in fic but this one has a ton of focus on smaller characters Dudley, Susan Bones, Hannah Abbott ect ect.

Also Harry convinces Percy to try to become a lawyer. 

16 A fic that made you laugh 

Hexes Are Not Romantic by Electroid

Flintley with Marcus being dumb and not going about this whole flirting thing very well. Very cute.

19. Fic with the hottest smut 

Points (not) Taken by Green

Flintley with honestly, again Marcus just not doing boundaries but i think about it alot, it’s probably one of my favorite Flintley works.

20. A fic rated G

Dancing Lessons by HPfanatic12 

Gen fic where Percy teaches Harry how to dance for the Yule Ball. Very cute and fun concept.

+ Ludicrous by mrsprobie 

Justin Finch-Fletchley/Percy Weasley, meet cute. Very cute.

23. A soulmate fic

Into Oblivion by hmweasley

Draco Malfoy/Percy Weasley, I know someone else has Rec’ed this one for this fest already but i am too it’s very interesting 

24. A holiday fic

Saving Christmas by A_Door 

Percy Weasley/Blaise Zabini, Very cute story of Blaise trying to show Percy their into him without saying it despite their many attempts going right over Percy’s head.

25. A fic rated T

wholly true by starsailing

Flintley, Once again awkward Marcus trying to court/flirt will never not be entertaining to me. In this case with gift giving 

26. A fic with an ending you can’t stop thinking about

There's Rue for You by Mr_Customs_Man

Flintley but only like kinda, anyway Ok so i’ll admit i'm stretching ending here. The part I think the most about with this is the end of Percy’s stay with Marcus but still I think about the regular ending too, because that whole last paragraph is just oof.

It’s fic exploring an AU where Peter polyjuiced as Percy after the fight and Percy goes through hell

27. A Muggle-AU fic

blueberry eyes ( seem to make time still ) by pandorascrate

Hannah Abbott/Percy Weasley. I liked that they didn't immediately get together. It took years in the story for them to get together. Also Percy feels good in this. I like the way he was written.

29. A post-canon fic More Lessons in Grieving as Taught by Dennis Creevy by angeladex

Gen Dennis and George talk after the final battle. Pulling Dennis into stories revolving around the Weasley’s grief for Fred is always really interesting to me and i’m not going to lie this one almost made me cry.

30. A pre-canon fic Life Lessons as Taught by Luna Lovegood by angeladex

Gen When Luna’s mom dies she goes to the burrow to tell the Weasley’s her family won’t be coming over for dinner after all and Percy walks her home. I really liked this. Percy’s reactions to a 9 year old Luna trying to weave around saying outright that her mom is dead was really good.

31. A fav amongst favs Vivaldi and Hot Chocolate by Patriceavril

Stan Shunpike/Percy Weasley, I’m very biased towards this one i won’t even lie but i love it very much. It’s cute, it’s sweet. Percy’s characterization is really nice. Stan’s characterization is really fun.

Justin Finch Fletchley

Canon:

Born between the 1st of September 1979 and the 31st of August 1980

Muggle-born

Was sorted into Hufflepuff, and was in the same year as the Golden Trio

Good friends with housemates & year mates Ernie Macmillian and Hannah Abbott

A member of the Dueling Club & Dumbledore's Army

Was petrified by the basilisk during CoS

Was supposed to attend the public-school Eton before he received his letter to Hogwarts, implying his family is upper-class.

British or Irish

My Headcanons:

He was born on the 14th of April, making him an Aries Sun & Moon.

British

Was born in Oxford but raised in Reading.

His father, Christopher Finch Fletchley, was a lawyer, and an alumnus of Eton College.

His mother, Eleanor Finch Fletchley (nee Scott) worked as a secretary, but only part-time.

He has a younger brother, Timothy, and a younger sister, Belinda.

His family & he are Catholics.

He's a big fan of cricket and joined an Under 9s cricket club in Hurst before going to an Under 11s cricket club in Reading.

Although once he started attending Hogwarts, he wasn't able to play cricket, he still tried to practice during his time there and in the holidays.

Doesn't really understand soccer or football, or whatever you call it

Dean almost thumped him when he said this, Seamus had to hold him back.

Is always asking questions about his father's work and developed a love of having lively debates because of it.

Definitely was intrigued about the inner workings of the wizarding world and would constantly ask Susan questions about the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot when she said that her aunt worked there.

His wand is 11 3/4 inches long, made of Red Oak, with a dragon heartstring core.

His best subjects were Charms and DADA.

Became good friends with Colin Creevey after they were both petrified.

He taught Colin how to play cricket.

Could sometimes be a bit quick off the mark in judging people but is very loyal to his friends.

Good friends with Neville, amongst his other Hufflepuff friends, and always encouraged him to keep trying his best.

Augusta got in contact with his parents and offered them assistance in navigating the wizarding world.

Justin was a Beater on the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team for a year in 1996

Ok, so, i'm very intrigued to know what you think: 2, 37 and 49 for Justin Finch-Fletchley (i had to google his name, didn't know how to write it lol, English is soo weird😅)

english is weird and the english posh are weirder still! justin finch-fletchley, double-barrelled icon — let’s be having you 🎩

2. A canon or headcanon hill I will die on

justin is descended from aristocrats — the earls of aylesford, in fact, who were granted a peerage in the 17th century, and whose titles run in the finch family to this day. the men in his family have been attending eton for generations. his mother was terribly worried about him when he was petrified in the 1992-92 academic year, but his father assured her he had gotten into much worse scrapes in his own school days, including being trampled during a shoot on a friend’s estate and having to be revived by a stiff lick on the face by the family beagle

37. What do they actually think of themselves

i think justin knew he wasn’t ambitious or political or sporty or clever enough to thrive at eton, and loved being a muggleborn wizard until the outbreak of war because it meant his parents couldn’t have too many expectations of him. (his mother was horrified to learn that wizards have no oxford equivalent, demanding “but where on earth do wizards source their ministers, then?”)

49. Favourite toy as a child

a to-scale replica of the family seat, packington hall in warwickshire, complete with walled garden and japanese-inspired ornamental bridge designed by none other than singularly celebrated english landscape architect capability brown himself:

dean thomas once asked justin what football team he supported and was disgusted when justin replied that he was ‘really more of a polo man’

thank you @finitajarjarana!

[stabby-apologist]

Do I think that Hagrid would take care of a Basilisk? Yes. Do I think he'd be especially fond of it based on how vicious and dangerous his other creatures are that he's like in the past? Yes.

But did I believe for an instant that Hagrid (who nicknamed a three headed dog "Fluffy" and a dragon "Norbert") was ever responsible for releasing a bloody great snake onto Muggleborns? No. Literally, I was more convinced that Draco Malfoy did it.

[ala-baguette]

So I get it into my head to include a recipe for a Lemon Drizzle cake at the end of one of my upcoming fics (it’s relevant, I swear).

But then I think, ‘well, I can’t just pick a random recipe off the internet, I need to try it first and make sure it tastes okay!’

So then I make a Lemon Drizzle, and as it’s baking, I think, ‘well, if I’m going through the bother of making the thing, I might as well take some photos of it to include as a fun visual aid!’

Then, as I’m planning the photos, I think, ‘wouldn’t it be cute if I hand-wrote the recipe with a few quirky spells mixed in rather than just typing it out?’

Then, as I am hand-writing the recipe I almost let the cake burn. But I catch it in time! …mostly…

Then, I take my photos and finally get to eat a piece of the cake, and…

It was okay.

Why did I do all this again? Oh yeah!

Join me next week for the next Left Behind installment and a slice of Lemon Drizzle with Justin-Finch-Fletchley and Michael Corner!

"If Harry had a twin sister" head-canons

I see a lot of "Harry's twin sister" fanfictions, so I decided to make my own headcanons for if he had one.

Her name would be Euphemia Lily Potter (named after both her paternal grandmother and mom).

Her nickname would be "Effie"

Effie would receive hand-me-down clothes from Petunia that her aunt didn't want anymore or just didn't fit.

She would have brown hair and blue eyes like Harry (I personally imagine her as Malina Weissman. Also IK that Harry has green eyes but I went by what Daniel Radcliffe looked like.)

She would be sorted into Hufflepuff, because although she is smart and brave like her parents, Effie also valued kindness, loyalty, and hard-work.

Effie would be friends with Hermione and Ron. But her main friend group would consist of some people in her House (like Hannah, Justin, and Ernie).

Her and Draco Malfoy are enemies, but her main nemesis is Pansy.

Her love interest would probably be someone in her friend group, or one of the Weasley's (specifically Fred or George.)

[hplyricistsfest]

Stay tuned for Fest updates and more fun content!
