Into the Forest: A Legacy Challenge

Think about the forest: how each tree stands tall and proud, a singular force amidst the rough and unforgiving terrain. However, what we don’t see is how each tree is connected. Underneath the ground, invisible to our eyes, lies a complex network of roots all interconnected and sharing their same story of life—and death—as the forest grows. This legacy challenge is much like this, where each individual stands tall on their own. However, we will have their roots exposed, and we get to see firsthand how some roots nourish and others infect. This is the “Into the Forest,” challenge.

Rules of the challenge: complete all challenge rules, ALL aspirations must be completed (careers usually  as well, but some are generation-specific), genders are never specific unless actually specified, and remember to have fun! tag #forestlegacy if you play this challenge and show me your sims!

When it comes to sim design, I know a lot of people like to have a color scheme (as do I) so I kind of tried to associate the generational color to the appropriate leaf and tree colors. I included the main color I used for each sim in the description but you are free to do whatever you wish with these sims, as this is your challenge and your opportunity to have some fun!

GENERATION ONE: ELM

Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy Career: None/Odd Jobs Traits: Noncommittal, High Maintenance, Romantic Color Association: White

You grew up with the perfect life, literally. Born to two wealthy, beautiful and successful entrepreneurs, you lived a life where your only worries consisted of which party you had to attend to next and whose bed you would be residing in that night. You’ve been surrounded by success, entertained by only the highest social circles. But all good dreams must come to an end. Your parents have given you an ultimatum: either graduate from college as a doctor or lose your inheritance. What’s a sim to do?

Being an adult is hard, however, and hardly ever goes as planned. Your partying lifestyle eventually catches up to you, and after a drunken night out with your best friends you end up having a stranger’s child. Now alone with an unwanted baby, your desperation becomes inspiration. You’ll show your parents you never needed to become a doctor.

master the violin skill, painting skill, and knitting skill (you can choose a different skill of your own choosing if you don’t have the pack)

make at least 2 good friends with at least one “negative” personality trait, party with them at least once every weekend as a young adult.

throw at least one party where your sim has 3 first kisses within the event (for funsies lole)

complete at least one week of university (or work) before having a one night stand that results in a daughter (you can cheat for this, and if you’re playing as a sim that can’t get pregnant, you can impregnate another sim and raise the child alone.)

drop out of college after having your child

live in an apartment for your entire YA life

have at least 2 children as a young adult that you are not close with, but your third and all others you have as an adult will have high friendship as they are considered a “planned” pregnancy (high friendship, high romance with partner/spouse). this child is your favorite. and it’s blatant.

marry the parent of the third child and move out of your apartment and into a home. no specifications on the build but think of it as your “white picket fence” moment.

GENERATION TWO: MAPLE

Aspiration: Soulmate Career: Education Traits: Gloomy, Neat, Unflirty Color Association: Orange

Born to a parent whose social life was more important than the lives they made at home and another whom you never knew, stability was a nonexistent luxury you have always craved. You are unfortunately also the eldest daughter to a single parent, meaning you were the free babysitter. You smother your siblings in love and affection but can’t help but resent your parent for forcing you to give up your childhood years to play mommy. You barely had time to have your first kiss! You would dream of finding a love worth working for, secure and patient and warm, and you would recant these stories to your enraptured audience of baby brothers and sisters.

Your parent settling down finally gives you the opportunity for a new beginning. But maintaining relationships outside of the home is now a foreign concept, and the world can be a cold and cruel place. With the few relationships you were able to salvage as a youth, you slowly etch out an existence for yourself that is uniquely yours. You find the love and patience you gave your siblings translates really well into your new career and you turned cooking meals from a chore into a healthy and productive hobby. Now that your life is finally in your control, maybe it’s time to rekindle that broken dream and find your true love?

maintain high friendship with all of your siblings

have a bad relationship with the parent you were raised with by the time you move out. it’s your choice whether or not you want to fix this relationship later on in life, but it cannot be until after you’ve moved out of the house.

make no more than 2 good friends as a child/teen (you’re too busy raising your siblings to make any more)

master the cooking and writing skills

have at least 2 children and make sure they get all toddler skills to AT LEAST 3 (hoping for 5) and make sure they get straight A’s in school

GENERATION THREE: CHERRY BLOSSOM

Aspiration: Renaissance Sim Careers: Retail, Culinary, Tech Guru Traits: Genius, Lazy, Slob Color Association: Light Pink

To say you’ve never had a worry in your life wouldn’t actually be an overstatement. Growing up in a loving home to parents who were able to provide for your every need made you a little more than spoiled, to say the least. You’re grateful, though, from the bottom of your little heart, and want nothing more than to prove to your parents that they raised a champion. You dive head-first into every project that sparks an interest to you but find that your focus dwindles and you can only absorb so much. It’s not that you’re unfocused, it’s just that there is SO much else to learn! People just can’t understand the life of a professional hobbyist.

This habit translates into your social and professional lives eventually, leading to a series of failed jobs and (even more heartbreakingly) failed relationships. You’re a smart cookie, however, and know that persistence is key. You will sow the seeds of greatness.

master 0 skills for sim’s entire lifespan (skills with only 5 levels are allowed) and never max out a career in your life

have level 8 in at least 10 skills

have 3 failed relationships as a Teen/YA, marriage is optional for this generation but if you choose to marry it must be no earlier than as an adult

move once as a YA, and then again as an Adult

must have twins (can cheat for this)

obsessively play one non-skill building activity (like darts or foosball) because you would totally be a professional at something that had no value lmao

GENERATION FOUR: REDBUD

Aspiration: World-Famous Celebrity Career: Actor/Actress Traits: Good, Creative, Loner Color Association: Purple

Some labors of love bear bitter fruit, as you have come to witness with your own two eyes. Born to chaos, you couldn’t even take your first breath without being outshone by the other sibling in the room. It didn’t take long for them to realize they could steal your spotlight easily, and because they were rotten to the core, they delighted in your misery with every opportunity they took to do so. It didn’t help that your parents were busy with their latest fads and flights of fancy, even with the ample love and education they provided you. There really wasn’t any other choice BUT to enjoy being alone.

Your perceived invisibility breeds a lot of resentment, and you vow from a young age to break out of your shell the moment you can. So you plot, and plan, and create in your own little world, waiting for the day you can stake your claim to fame. The life of a wallflower is just not for you!

be enemies with your twin for your entire life (twin must have the evil trait as one of their traits. this is literally your evil twin moment)

master acting and charisma skills

master one music skill (guitar, piano, violin, singing)

never lose a celebrity star once it is gained

host 5 gold-star dinner events with a social circle of friends

marry another celebrity

have only one child

GENERATION FIVE: MAGNOLIA

Aspiration: The Curator Career: None Traits: Loves the Outdoors, Hot-Headed, Materialistic Color Association: Hot Pink

Sure, you are happy that your parents got to follow their dreams and find fame. You could even say that you appreciate the fruits of their labor, given the excess with which you hoard your treasures. However, not once has anyone in this house asked if you shared that dream of the spotlight. Because if they had, they would know that all you want is to spend your time in the dirt, hunting for frogs and finding treasure. You long for the simplicity of a hands-on existence, building your own calluses as your pave out your way.

Much like a dragon, you have spent your years amassing piles of priceless artifacts that you lovingly refer to as treasure. From gemstones to friendships, you have meticulously curated your entire existence out of the spotlight. Some might call you a perfectionist, others a micro-manager, but you would call yourself a sim who knows exactly what they want. This is YOUR claim to obscurity.

make money exclusively from the duplicate items you collect. believe me when I tell you, you will have enough money lmao.

must breed frogs for your entire life, collecting all 25 frogs is not required but if you enjoy the challenge I recommend adding that to your list of requirements

master the fishing skill

collect ALL 15 fossils and ALL 20 crystals

have a trophy room that contains all of your collectables because you really do deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor

have a high school sweetheart and marry that high school sweetheart

when you have children, enforce a strict curfew and ensure they all have good grades in school

GENERATION SIX: REDWOOD

Aspiration: Bodybuilder Career: Doctor Traits: Active, Self-Absorbed, Kleptomaniac Color Association: Red

Perfection is something that is often sought after, but rarely achieved. However, with the advantages that you were given in life—a stable, loving home and a strict regiment—you would be bereft to admit that you are working your way towards your ideal life. And a sound mind, a solid body, and a steady job are the rewards you have sown. The world is your oyster, literally, and everything you grab on to is yours for the taking. And if you rub a couple people the wrong way in your pursuit of perfection, then that is just the unfortunate consequence of success. Not everyone will be able to appreciate the hard work of those who strive for greatness.

So when life throws you a major wrench in the form of a certain annoying sim, you find that your perfect focus begins to dwindle. And, soon enough, you find yourself falling in love. Will this newfound revelation be enough to humble your ever-growing ego? Can you find yourself settling down with someone who is your total opposite, mind, body, and soul? Will they ever let you fish for compliments again?

master the logic and research & debate skills

master the athletic skill

attempt to swipe at least one item from every venue you visit

have a “falling out,” with 2 good friends in your lifetime (high friendship to enemies)

have 5 enemies throughout every life phase

fight santa for his presents every holiday season

attempt to get an autograph from every celebrity you meet and get it appraised if you succeed (bragging rights)

marry a sim with the “opposites attracted” sentiment

GENERATION SEVEN: SPRUCE

Aspiration: Grilled Cheese Hidden Aspiration Career: Astronaut Traits: Ambitious, Glutton, Outgoing Color Association: Blue

Life has a funny habit of being both strangely ridiculous and ridiculously brilliant. Your parents have always told you to shoot for the stars, and that dedication will always sow the seeds of success. Strangely enough, you took shooting for the stars (ridiculously) literally and decided that your childhood dreams needed to be a reality. However, remember that second bit about things that are ridiculously brilliant? There is nothing more ridiculously brilliant than discovering the unadulterated bliss that can be achieved with only two slices of bread and some cheese. That’s right, everyone.

Consumed by the cheese as a youth, you have made it your life’s goal to spread the good word of your obsession. From supernatural beings, to aliens, and even your poor children—no one is safe from your good word. Armed with your career and knowledge, you are unstoppable in your pursuit of grilled cheese supremacy.

pro-tip: you unlock this aspiration by eating 3 grilled cheese sandwiches in a row

master the cooking and rocket science skills

fight any lactose intolerant sim you meet as they are your mortal enemies

marry an alien and join the 50-mile high club

GENERATION EIGHT: GINKGO

Aspiration: Freelance Botanist Career: Conservationist Traits: Clumsy, Self-Assured, Squeamish Color Association: Gold

Many things make your stomach turn, but nothing makes you sicker than the disgusting aftertaste of processed foods. Is it a byproduct of your parent’s crippling grilled cheese addiction? Most definitely. The carbon emissions from your household alone was enough to damage the ozone permanently. For this you feel as though you must atone.

There is contentedness to be found in humility, you find, and living a humble life is something that rewards you by the daily. Even if the day-to-day toils of dealing with creepy crawlies makes your skin boil and your heart faint, the work itself is enough to help you sleep at night. Your home flourishes around you, built from the ground up by your own hand. A small plot of dirt turned into a thriving garden home. And as your garden grows, so does your family. A calming peace after the turmoil of childhood, so long as you keep the cowplant fed!!

master the gardening and the flower arranging skills

master the handiness skill

live on an “off-the-grid,” lot for AT LEAST your entire YA life

cook meals using only your own ingredients

create all woodworking items at the woodworking table

furnish your home with only created or found/flea market items

GENERATION NINE: WILLOW

Aspiration: Bestselling Author Career: Paranormal Investigator (Criminal Career – Oracle if no paranormal pack) Traits: Vegetarian, Erratic, Bookworm Color Association: Green

Now, we wouldn’t make a sim grow a cowplant without putting it to good use, correct? Unfortunately, that means someone you love needs to die. It just so happens that it has to be your high school sweetheart, devoured mind, body, and soul by your precious pet cowplant. This—understandably—has a deep and profound effect on your worldview. Death becomes an obsession, and you find yourself enamored with the world that lies beyond the veil.

Befriending the dead is a lonely venture, unfortunately, and you eventually find yourself longing for the company of those whose bodies are a little more warm. While on your quest to figure out how to appreciate life, you take to meditation as a form of therapy. This self-reflection leads to revelations, and the humans you have shunned are suddenly a lot more interesting. Can you salvage your life before you join your friends in death?

master the Paranormal Investigator career

master the writing and wellness skills

master the medium skill

befriend the grim reaper

start out as enemies with your future spouse and then become lovers

write your spouse’s name in the Book of Life

GENERATION TEN: WISTERIA

Aspiration: Friend of the Animals Career: Detective Traits: Paranoid, Mean, Animal Enthusiast (or Cat/Dog Lover) Color Association: Lavender

It comes as no surprise that having a parent as obsessed with death as yours has had immeasurable influence on your perception of humanity. In a cold world inhabited by murderers, philanderers, and all kinds of unsavory folk you find yourself afraid, and that fear breeds a hatred for your fellow man. There has to be someone who can stand up to all the injustice in the world, and if that someone has to be you, then screw the consequences. The path to justice makes few friends along the way, but that never bothered you much. You’ve always had your furry friends to keep you company on the days where the world feels foreign and hostile, and you dote on them with all the care of a loving parent.

And that was the length of your parental instinct, as there was no way in hell you could possibly bring another life into a world so cold. In your mind there would be no crueler fate, and those who bore those children were committing a selfish act. So it gives you great pause when, suddenly, you find yourself in love (with a married sim, no less. with kids, no less). Cue the drama.

fancy spells that show the truth

Ominis Gaunt x GN!Hufflepuff!Reader (MC from game = Eliza Fig, Gryffindor) part five of the fancy series - [ToC]

Summary: The group of wayward students arrives to help- but causes problems along the way. (So I wasn’t planning on making Eliza an evil-type but the story goes as it does i guess. Hope no one got to attached to her)

“Diffindo!”

“Bombarda!”

You shot your head upward at the sounds of spells being cast, looking across the way through a bit of forest to see lights flashing back and forth, a multitude of colours. Reds and greens pop out mostly, and you sit there holding your breath. This could be it.

“It’s them!” Marcus calls out, running up to his boss. Having sat here long enough, you eventually got a look around. You were currently put aside from the rest of the encampment, close to ‘The Boss’s tent. He seemed annoyed at his entire party and set up his tent- the largest tent- away from the rest of the group. Not trusting them, he also had set up the creature cage nearby, with a table and campfire in the centre of the area. You currently sat among a group of five fwoopers, one of them a lime green colour that slept in the middle of the huddle. The gleaming silver keys to the cage hung on Ed’s belt, who was leaning against a tree nearby after being ordered to watch over the cage.

“But why!” Ed had complained loudly, huffing and crossing his arms. “You finally gave me my own crew and it includes Marcus and now you want me to- to watch over a cage of creatures-”

“I want you to babysit the child you decided to kidnap, actually,” The boss had sneered, glaring at the man you had once thought was the leader. “I’m certainly not going to sit out here watching them, that sounds exhausting. I have boss duties to attend to. Sales to be had, people to talk to, you know how it is.” The boss waved his hand in a dismissive manner, and you wondered if he actually did anything for the encampment besides being absolutely horrid to everyone.

“Fine, okay,” Ed agrees, too easily in your opinion. The boss seems to agree as he narrows his eyes, taking a step closer to the poacher.

“And there will be no pawning this job off to Marcus. I can’t stand that man.” With a slump of his shoulders, Ed agrees quietly. It seemed that had been his plan after all.

“Who is what?” The boss barked, leaning against the table in the centre with some assortment of papers spread out across it. At one point the wind had blown, and the boss had drawn a dagger from his hip and jammed it into the table to hold one of them down.

“The-” Marcus was breathing heavily, leaning down to rest his hands against his knees. “The attackers! It’s the kid! The student!” Two sets of eyes immediately look at you before looking back to Marcus, the boss straightening up.

“What are you talking about Marcus? Spit it out.”

“It’s the kid! That defeated Ranrok! The one that goes around spewing Unforgivables at us constantly!”

“Oh fuck this,” The boss spits out, then spins on his heels and immediately disappears. The air surrounding this area was quiet, only interrupted by sounds of battle just enough away that neither man felt threatened, yet. Ed and Marcus meet eyes, the latter seeming scared and curling in on himself.

“What do we do?”

“What the hell do you think we do? We fight back!”

“But it’s her!” Marcus pleaded, walking closer to Ed and grabbing his arm. “Look, I don’t want to die, Ed. Just unlock the cage, I’m sure they’re here for the kid.” Neither looked at you as they discussed your fate, and your eyes constantly wandered back toward the flashing lights through the trees. If you paid close attention, it almost seemed like it was getting closer.

“We’re not cowards, Marcus. If we fight and win, we can take over this operation. Fuck the boss, he ran! What do you think the rest of them will think?”

“The rest of them will be dead, Ed! Just like us!” His yell was surprising, having seemed like he was afraid of confrontation. Though honestly, out of everyone here, you probably felt the most for him. He just wanted friends, to fit in, and everyone condemned him for being ‘annoying.’ You hoped he could find better friends- and maybe a better profession. Maybe an actual profession.

“Petrificus Totalus!” A familiar voice called out and Marcus suddenly became as stiff as a board and fell sideways. You immediately jump up- as much as you were able, so really you were just standing on your knees- and clutch at the bars to push yourself further. You could just barely see him.

“Ominis!” He paused and you watched him heaving in a breath. Beside him, two more people ran forward- Poppy and Sebastian. They both called out spells, aiming toward Ed, who had jumped away and was trying to use the trees as cover.

“Y/N?” Ominis called out, taking a few steps forward as if unaware of the flashing of spells careening so close to his head. “Y/N?! Call out again, I can’t find you!”

“Ominis, I’m over here!” He immediately spun in your direction, his wand pulsing with red as he ran toward your voice. You could see a healthy flush across his face- and maybe right now wasn’t exactly the time to be checking him out, but c’mon. He’s literally saving your life right now. A healthy appreciation is warranted. “Over here Ominis! I’m in a- a cage right now.”

Ominis finally slowed his approach as he got closer, his eyebrows furrowing together tightly, his expression pinching into annoyance. “I know you’re here,” Ominis muttered, and you could barely hear him over the sounds of spells being flung around. It seemed the rest of the poachers had apparated nearby, hiding among the trees nearby Ed. Marcus still laid still on the ground nearby, but you could see his eyes frantically looking around as much as possible. Other students had filtered into the area- Natty and Garreth, and- wait. Wasn’t that the new fifth year- or perhaps, ‘used to be’ the new fifth year? What was her name again, Eliza Fig? Her smirk was cruel, and she muttered her spells under her breath, but the lights that sprung from her crooked wand were green.

“I know you’re here, but I can’t see you,” Ominis continued, drawing your attention back to him. “I can see like- a big box?”

“It’s a cage, Ominis. It’s likely enchanted, wards weaved into the bars.” Ominis began to nod, coming closer with his hand stretched outward. He found one of the bars, wrapping his hand firmly around it, serious expression in place. You raise a hand to place atop his, thankful for the contact, and you watch as Ominis’ breathing stutters, his huff of a breath as he finally falls to his knees in front of the cage, in front of you.

“I was so scared, Y/N. When you didn’t get back to your common room-”

“You were waiting for me at my common room?”

“Well, yeah, Y/N. I never want you mad at me.” Ominis’ voice was low, but he was close enough this time that you could hear him clearly. “I thought we agreed you wouldn’t go to the forbidden forest on your own anymore.”

“I didn’t realize I was going there, by the time I noticed I thought a quick brush would’ve been fine,” You were speaking quickly, your eyes constantly scanning the area behind Ominis for any sign of hostility aimed at him. Why he would turn his back to an active battlefield, you didn’t know. You were gearing up to berate him about it when you heard Eliza call out in a wicked, gleeful voice.

“Crucio!” You felt Ominis immediately tense under your hands, and you tighten your grip on him, glaring at the Gryffindor across from you. Sebastian immediately stomps over, throwing a hand down against her wand hand to make her drop the spell, immediately muttering something at her with an angry expression. You couldn’t hear him, however, you heard her reply.

“What’s it matter? They’re only poachers, they deserve it.”

“Where’s the lock, Y/N?” Ominis’ voice was deep, heavy with something you couldn’t quite place. You take his hand holding the wand, moving it before removing your hand from the current cross-section it was at to a closer one, taking his hand and dragging it the rest of the way. One there you tap his wand against the keyhole, muttering under your breath. Your eyes never leave the form of Eliza Fig.

“You choose interesting company, Ominis.”

“I did not choose her. She forced herself along, and the rest of your friends are apparently enamoured by her.” Ominis muttered angrily, tapping the lock and muttering Alohomora under his breath. It took three tries of him doing this and Ominis progressively grew antsier as it wouldn’t work. Finally, the lock clicks open loudly and the gate just barely swings outward. Ominis audibly sighs in relief, reaching forward to take hold of the gate and pull it wide open. You take initiative, rushing out of the cage and crushing Ominis in a hug.

“Thank you for coming for me.”

“Always, Y/N.” He immediately wrapped his own arms around your midsection, pulling you close and squeezing you. He holds you close for a long moment, in no hurry to release you- and you the same. Your arms were wrapped around his shoulders, face buried into his neck. You weren’t sure how long, exactly, the two of you stood there, but it did take a long minute before you realized that silence surrounded you. You lifted your gaze and saw the fighting has stopped, the colourful flashing of spells having ceased and all of the poachers were nowhere to be seen. Your friends stood around awkwardly, most watching you, and Eliza had a long smirk on her face that you wished you could hex away.

“It’s safe now,” Sebastian calls out, glaring toward Eliza before jogging over to close the distance. He places a hand on one of your arms as they were wrapped around Ominis, trying to gently smile for you. “Glad we got to you in time.”

You heard a mumbling against your neck from Ominis. Sebastian furrows his brow in confusion, unable to make out the grumbling tones, but you could’ve sworn you heard him say, “Go away.” You bit your lip to hold back a giggle, tightening your hold on Ominis and placing your chin on his shoulder.

“Thank you for coming.” You grin cheekily at him, your eyes dancing between all of your friends before landing back on Sebastian. “You didn’t have to.”

“What are you talking about? Of course I did.” Sebastian scoffs, crossing his arms with a self-satisfied smirk. “If I hadn’t helped you out, I wouldn’t hear the end of it from Ominis. Or Poppy.” You felt your chest shaking in a laugh, looking between Poppy and him a few times before raising your eyebrows. It was still dark outside, but you could’ve sworn you’d seen Sebastian’s cheeks grow dark at your nonverbal insinuation.

“Let’s get going,” Ominis finally spoke, pulling away from you mostly, but leaving one arm wrapped around your midsection, pressing his side against yours. He faces the rest of the group, void of the emotions that seemed so vibrant to you earlier. “We don’t want anyone reporting us missing.”

“Yeah, Merlin forbid,” Eliza mumbles under her breath, raising a hand to inspect her nails. You grit your teeth at this, narrowing your eyes at her.

“Why are you here, anyway?” You asked, then watched as Natty raised her eyebrows and took a few steps to get closer to the huddle of students forming, stepping up right next to Eliza. Eliza, instead, stands her ground but raises her eyes toward you, sizing you up. She drops her hand to place it on her hip, tilting her head.

“I’m sorry, who are you again?”

“They’re the student we literally came here to save, Eliza,” Ominis responded, venom spewing from his voice.

“Hey, hey, what’s with all the hostility?” Natty steps into the middle, holding her hands out on either side. She looks to Eliza and they seem to have a small conversation with their eyes before Natty turns her back to her, facing you and Ominis. “She literally came here to help, what’s the problem with that?”

“I’m sorry that I don’t enjoy being rescued by someone who would willingly- and joyfully, might I add- use Crucio on a person.” You watch Natty’s eyebrows furrow, her head tilting in confusion. There was no way she hadn’t seen that… right?

“I’m with Y/N on this one,” Ominis mumbled, tightening his hold on you. Natty’s face crumbles slightly, her head shaking from side to side. She turns around to face Eliza, a question clear on her face, though she still voices it.

“What they’re saying can’t be true, can it?” Eliza looks away, biting her lip and refusing to meet Natty’s gaze. Natty takes a step forward, raising a hand toward her. She looked to be in the middle of saying something but was interrupted by a shout.

“Crucio!” The green bolt flew from behind you and Ominis, aimed directly at where Eliza stood. Except Natty had taken two steps forward instead of one, and the green bolt hit her back instead. Her screams were horrid, haunting, and she fell to her knees and curled up in pain. You and Ominis spun around, him with his wand held outward and pulsing, and you with your eyes wide, looking for danger. You could just barely see one-half of Ed’s face behind a nearby tree, very close to where the spell was originating from.

“No!” Eliza called out, and you spun back around in time to see her on the floor in front of Natty, shaking her head quickly. The Gryffindor then jumped up, snarling in the direction of the spell. Taking a few steps forward, she lifts that crooked wand- the sight of which was beginning to shoot fear through you- and aims it toward the trees. “Avada-”

She was interrupted when, once again, Sebastian strode forward and slammed his hand down on her wand. She snarled at him, raising a hand to throw a punch, and you spun around at the sound of another voice.

“Depulso!” You see Garreth not five feet from you, standing at the entrance to the cage you had been in and pointing toward the trees as well. The green light that had been aimed at Natty fades away and everyone hears a pained grunt, followed by the sound of something slamming against wood, the wood cracking.

“I’m defenceless here,” You mumble, causing Ominis to pull you close and wrap himself around you like a personal shield. You didn’t want that- of course, you’d never want Ominis hurt- so you begin to pull away until you hear Poppy’s soft voice right next to you.

“I have your bag, Y/N.” Ominis finally releases his grip on you, his eyes flying wildly from side to side as if trying to see anything that could hurt the group of you. You take one step closer to Poppy, reaching forward to take the bookbag. “I put your wand in there too. You must’ve dropped it when they nabbed you.”

“Yeah, they petrified me. I dropped my wand, I don’t even know where it rolled to. They didn’t think to look for it until we got to camp. It wasn’t on me so they couldn’t take it.” You immediately flipped open your bag, pushing past the scattered fwooper treats and reaching down the side to pull out your wand from where it rolled to. Sighing in relief, you shoot Poppy a grin. “Thanks.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“Not to rain on this charming parade,” Garreth finally intones, stretching his arms out to either side to herd the three of you closer to the rest of the group. “But this forest is creepy, I hate spiders and there are spiderwebs everywhere, and we just got attacked by a stray poacher. I say we do like what was originally suggested and get out of here. The arguments can wait until we’re in Hogwarts.”

Eliza wandered back over to Natty, helping her up as the two mumbled to each other. Poppy sticks close to your side that wasn’t plastered to Ominis, and Sebastian- walking with blood running down his nose- walks on Ominis’ other side. Garreth sighs and, with a shake of his head, walks lonely between the two formed groups.

“So what the hell was that, Eliza?”

Your group had only just made it through the Hogwarts gates, not even halfway through the courtyard to the castle before Sebastian finally spoke up. It made sense that he would be the first to break, he never was very patient. But Eliza had been quietly carrying Natty along the path with nary a word, although that only seemed to ramp up the antsiness between the rest of the group. Even Garreth began to lag behind, walking closer to your group than the two women ahead of you.

“What was what?”

You shook your head, aggravated that someone so smart would pretend to be dumb. Ominis tightened his hold on you, halting your movements and turning you to face him. You complied, looking into Ominis’ milky eyes as he keeps his head bowed toward you. He was obviously listening, wanting to know how this would resolve, but it seemed almost like he didn’t want you involved. Was there something more to this than you realized?

“You know damn well what was what,” Sebastian spat out, and you tilted your head in confusion. He could have a temper for sure, but you’ve never heard him sound so nasty.

“I’m sure I don’t know-”

“Like hell,” Sebastian growled, and you almost instinctively moved to calm him down, but you stayed in place with Ominis’ gentle insistence. You turn to see Sebastian taking a step closer to Eliza, who had also stopped. Eliza sat Natty down on the edge of the fountain, turning to sneer back at Sebastian. Garreth had ended his walk sooner, ending up closer to your group than the argument. He had an arm wrapped around Poppy currently, pulling her into his chest- almost like shielding her from the fight. With how she held her hands close to her face, it seemed she needed it. “You told me you would stop.”

“I never said that,” Eliza growled, taking her own step toward Sebastian. “You told me that you thought we should stop. I never agreed with you, I just let you go.”

“Let me go?” Sebastian scoffs, laughing with astonishment. “So you’re telling me all this time? You’ve been practising Unforgivables after everything-”

“Fuck you, Sebastian! You’re the one who left me!”

“I never left you! I tried to be friends!” Sebastian yelled back, anger mixed with something foreign colouring his tone. “You were the one who pushed me away! But I get it now,” He laughs again, the normally jovial sound now tinged with something bitter, and he continues with a quieter voice, “I do, I really get it now. You kept going, you kept up the research.”

Eliza remained quiet, her sneer slowly transforming into a stoic expression. Garreth began walking Poppy slowly toward Hogwarts, and you couldn’t blame them. You’d talk to Poppy later about the whole ordeal. But you stayed, you waited with Ominis. Sebastian was his best friend, and he even seemed to know what this whole argument was about. You also couldn’t help your curiosity.

“After everything that happened,” Sebastian continued, his voice a low growl now, “After having to perform the cruciatus curse on me. I thought you would stop, I thought-”

“You thought wrong,” Eliza interrupted, her voice cruel. It was silent for a moment, crickets chirping in the background. When Eliza opened her mouth once more, ready to spout out some sort of excuse or reasoning, she was interrupted by weak coughing. She spun quickly and rushed to Natty’s side, kneeling down and placing a hand on Natty’s knee.

Natty flinches away violently, scooting away from Eliza on the fountain with wide eyes. You watch in trepidation as Eliza’s shoulders fall, followed by her head.

“Stay away from me,” Natty coughs out, scooting away again before stumbling and falling onto the ground. You take a step forward to help, Ominis’ hands falling away from your hips and letting you. You stop yourself, though, once Eliza stands and takes a step toward her as well. “I didn’t want to believe it. There was so much-” A wracking cough interrupts her sentence, and at this point you rush forward. You help Natty to sit up straight, letting her rest her back against you as you hold her. “It was too loud, out there during the battle. I didn’t hear it. I saw the green flashes but wanted to fool myself into believing it was the poachers.”

“Natty-”

“Every time.” She coughs again and you tighten your hold on her, reaching a hand up to push a stray, thick lock of hair away from her sweaty forehead. “Every time we’ve gone out together, I saw those flashes. That colour. You were doing it every time, weren’t you? Casting Unforgivables like they were any other spell.”

“Yes.” You widened your eyes in surprise, turning quickly and locking eyes with Eliza. She couldn’t seem to meet Natty’s eyes, but she glared into yours like she could will herself to trade places with you. You were surprised at her blatant honesty. Especially knowing how Natty would react to it. Predictably, Natty’s voice was cold as she glared at Eliza.

“You’re worse than them. Worse than the poachers. Worse than the bandits from Uagadou.” Natty begins to push herself up, and you help until she’s fully stood. You watch as pain wracks through her body in waves, the after-effects of Crucio, but you drop your hands away once she’s standing stable. You could tell she needed to do this, needed to show independence and strength when facing someone she used to consider a good friend. The castle grounds were quiet for an extended time before Natty finally huffed, shaking her head. “I’m ashamed to share a house with you. Just stay away from me.”

Natty stomps away, toward the doors that Garreth and Poppy had disappeared through earlier. You stood there frozen, wondering what exactly you inserted yourself into. Turning slowly to face Ominis, you’re taken off guard at how close Eliza was to you. You widened your eyes as she took another two steps closer to you until only a few feet separated the both of you.

“Don’t think this is over,” Eliza harshly whispered toward you, a sneer lighting up her face. “If you hadn’t been stupid and vulnerable then this would’ve never happened.”

“This isn’t their fault, Eliza.” Sebastian’s voice interrupted the harsh words, and you quickly glanced with worried eyes to Sebastian a few paces away, who held his arm out to hold Ominis back. Ominis looked livid, both hands on Sebastian’s arms were squeezing with visible effort, but he remained in place as Sebastian wanted.

“I don’t give a flying fuck,” Eliza spat, reaching a hand out to grasp hold of the front of your robes, pulling you in closer. “Your idiotic actions took Natty away from me. Turned Garreth and Poppy away from me.”

“I think those were your own actions,” You mumbled back, raising your eyebrows. She was scary as hell, but you weren’t to blame for anything. “You were the only one flinging the un-”

You were cut off abruptly as you were pushed to the ground, Eliza pulling her wand and kneeling down on top of you, pressing the tip against your neck. “Shut the fuck up-”

“Y/N!” You look over toward Ominis, watching Sebastian fully holding him back now. He was struggling, Ominis was insistent on breaking free. You couldn’t even smile at him to calm him, so you tried to clear your throat and raise your voice for him to hear.

“Everything’s okay Ominis. It’s fine.” You watched his struggle lessen some, but he still angrily pushed against Sebastian’s arms. “Just a little cuddle session. You can be next.” Eliza’s scoff takes your attention once more, meeting hazardous eyes.

“You’re so pathetic. No wonder I didn’t know you existed until tonight.” She stood up once more, pocketing her wand. “You better stay out of my way, Hufflepuff.”

“Fuck you, Eliza,” Ominis called out, hatred lacing his voice. “Stay the fuck away from them.” He finally broke away from Sebastian- not for lack of trying on Seb’s part- and ran toward you on the ground. Eliza took a few steps back, turning to face all three of you as if realizing her back had been turned against potential threats. Ominis’ hands on you were a welcome treat as he assured himself you were fine, then pulled you up from your laid-out position.

“Seems we have the same idea then, Ominis.” You turned to meet her eyes after those words but were struck short when she wasn’t there. She had disappeared, and you turned questioning eyes toward Sebastian.

“She apparated. We’re alone.” He added on the last part for Ominis’ benefit most likely, and you let yourself finally relax in Ominis’ arms. “I’m sorry I let her come along, Ominis.”

“You didn’t,” He mumbled, pulling you closer to him. You let your head rest on his chest, closing your eyes to hear his heartbeat. “She had everyone else fooled, just like she fooled you in fifth year. But it’s fine now, they’ve seen her true colours.”

You didn’t hear a reply from Sebastian aside from a sigh. It was quiet for a longer time and you opened your eyes to see Sebastian approach slowly and sit cross-legged next to the two of you. Eventually he spoke, keeping his eyes on the stars above. “Perhaps sitting out here isn’t the best idea. Wouldn’t want to get detention.”

“We could spend the detention together, at least.” This was your suggestion, a smirk forming on your face as you stared at Sebastian, resting against Ominis.

“We’re just studying for our Astronomy class, that’s all,” Ominis mumbles, pulling you closer before he mimics Sebastian, raising his face to the sky. You laugh, shaking your head at him. “They look very pretty tonight.”

“You’ve never seen stars before in your life, Ominis,” Sebastian muttered, but you were pleased to hear a return to his jovial tone.

“I’ve been told they’re the same every night.”

“They are,” You affirm, sitting up further to be able to look at his face again. He really did have the prettiest face, his gaunt features highlighted by the half-moon’s light.

“So then if they were pretty two weeks ago, I’m sure they’re still pretty now.”

“Who said they were pretty two weeks ago?” Sebastian asks with a laugh, plucking grass between his fingers before throwing the handful back down and repeating the process.

“Y/N.” Sebastian raises his eyebrows toward you, a slow smirk forming on his face.

“Don’t give me that look, Sallow. We were actually studying for Astronomy that night.”

“Sure you were,” Sebastian mumbled, earning an elbow to his side from Ominis. “Well! With that,” Sebastian throws his hands down onto his knees, a loud slap echoing around the trio. “I’m tired.” That was the only goodbye you received as Sebastian stood and made his way inside. The night was quiet around you, silent aside from the insects buzzing and owls hooting in the distance. You both waited for the sound of the great door closing before speaking.

“So,” You begin, taking in the way the moonlight played against Ominis’ cheekbones. “I should probably get back to my common room at some point.”

You felt his hands tighten around you before he slowly, gently begins to pull you closer. You knew you could easily back away from this if you wanted, this wasn’t a forceful movement at all. But you wanted this, wanted him, and you didn’t care how much this action showed the heart on your sleeve. You gave in, laying against him once more.

“I don’t want to let you go tonight,” Ominis muttered against your hair, dropping his head to curl around you. His voice wavered, full of emotion. “I feel like I almost lost you and I-” He doesn’t continue his sentence, leaving whatever he had meant hanging in the air between you.

“What are you going to do, sneak me into the Slytherin rooms?” You giggle, shaking your head against him. You lifted your gaze to see him, watching a scrunchy type look cross his face.

“Maybe another night, but not tonight. I don’t want to be around those boys- I don’t want to be around anyone else but you tonight.” You breathed in deeply, hoping to calm the butterflies that scurried at those words.

“Then, what are we to do?”

“I know a place.”

My Headcanons for Poppy Sweeting for Hogwarts Legacy:

• Looks like a cinnamon roll but will actually show that Badger side of Hufflepuff if anyone harms animals or someone she trusts. Cause she is a fierce duelist she just doesn’t like to show it.

• Growing up with her parents as poachers she’s got tough skin and not afraid of any bully that tries to pick on her at Hogwarts.

• I feel like Poppy and Ominis would get along very well. At first Ominis wouldn’t want someone new in his inner circle but as the MC invites Poppy to sit at the Slytherin table and on the adventures with them, they start getting along because they both know what it’s like being raised by horrible parents. It’s a surprise friendship.

• Prefers being around animals instead of people because animals won’t judge or harm you in ways people can. Being around creatures helps soothe all the pain she’s seen growing up and strives to make sure all animals are protected.

• She had enough of being around poachers when she was traumatized by a huge slaughtering of innocent creatures which resulted in her being able to see Thestrals. She immediately left her parents and moved in with her Gran.

• She is the sunshine and healer of the group. She radiates positivity and keeps everyone in the light of any dark situation they get themselves in. She’s always ready for any adventure outside the castle and is there for her friends and will stand by them thick and thin.

• After saving the Golden Snidgets Dorran spoke to his herd and they had Poppy and the MC become trusted by the Centaurs which is high honor and it is rare that Centaurs will trust a witch or wizard. So whenever they’re in danger in the Forbidden Forest they’ll come to their aid.

• After everything Poppy opened herself up and to making new friends at Hogwarts. She became close friends to Adelaide Oakes, Natsai Onai & Ominis Gaunt.

• She cherishes any gift given to her by her friends and she’ll already have another gift planned for them.

Just throwing this out there. Power to weight ratio is a real thing. Even my 98 LGT wagon is probably closer to the GC/GF Impreza's highest weight after a ton of weight reduction and weighs less than any modern Impreza past '02. Honestly hate how huge the Impreza, Forester and Legacy/Outback got over the years after the GD/BD & GG/BG/BK/SG chassis.

Surprisingly the newer Impreza (STI version) isn't crazy heavier but still heavier and bigger nonetheless. Why only sedans?! No more Impreza WRX/STI hatch only the lifted ass Crosstrek?

I mean look how massive my friends 2020 Outback XT looks compared to my 98. It's like a foot taller and longer. Ground clearance of a truck but we can't get a Subaru truck, cool. Why no more car height Legacy wagons? Not to mention they created huge blinds spots with the stupid D pillars and tiny rear quarter glass compared to the full "paranaramic view" of the 98, I have like zero blind spots.

+20 year juxtaposition.

Why did we get the ridiculously massive (+2 tons) and cartoonish Ascent? No 2-4 door ute or truck? No awd coupe? No more Impreza STI/WRX hatch, only Crosstreks? No more Legacy wagons, only Outbacks? Oh but hey Subaru (only with Toyota) did give us the 2 door BRZ. That is only RWD and no turbo option? Lame. This gripe may be partially due to my location, US.

Anyways, rant over. Bigger is not always better and more HP's don't always equal faster when you weigh hundreds of pounds more than the other dude, me? 🙃 Have fun driving your 2 ton turbro bricks.

Dai’s Prom Drama 1/2

So prom was a few hours away (Like every week... it’s becoming meh) and some classmates invited Dai to hangout in... Sulani? Ok. Sure. That makes sense.

Anyway, Dai said yes and went to a little beach trip without parental sueprvision. The kids went full party mode and got a little too carried away with the drinks, but everything’s good. Dai had a great time and made some new friends while at it!

unsure if this is the same lake from prisoner of azkaban but it sure gives me the same vibes (and she did mention stags when she walked up so like 👀)
