#narcissa is the best hp mom

[fanfic-lover-girl]

Narcissa is a total queen. My favourite HP mom.

[picklesonjupiter]

Imagine Draco dating a Weasley during his rebellious phase because it would piss off his dad 🤣 Narcissa would try to be supportive, but she's also disappointed.

Tell me your hp hot takes I desperately need to know (and i am not a marauders stan so I won't care if you're negative)

i have a lot of takes so i’ll keep it to my top 10!

1) I cannot STAND regulus black. he’s barely an idea of a guy, his fanbase is a timothee chalamet circle jerk coated w the same milquetoast white sad boy w a heart of gold character they give to every run of the mill YA-male protagonist. y’all just want a pretty boy and i would respect it if y’all didn’t act like he was the messiah of the era, he fucked up his ONE moment of redemption and didn’t even do it right infact it just made Harry’s time trying to save the world harder than it had to be

2) majority of fans of the marauders just like them bc they’re aesthetics of vaguely gay best friends in a partially idealized 80s where they do not do anything but chain smoke, have relationship problems, and die. they are frat boys, they’re doing a lot of dumb shit constantly and very minor are their problems dating related

3) i don’t like the idea Sirius and Regulus were physically abused by their parents. i actually think until Sirius was placed in gryffindor he was the family golden child and relentlessly spoiled, in the same way dudley was but with his bitchy mom who was not loving but more.. like instigatey and let him get away w stuff? i do think Walburga was emotionally abusive and clearly unstable, but i cannot see her laying a hand on her precious heir to the family name, esp since we Know the black family held that in Very high regard. Sirius was different fundamentally from his family but not to the point Walburga was Beating it out of him, he was given just enough room to push until he actively chose to run away at 16

4) Pandora Lovegood Was A Ravenclaw. Only Ravenclaw Parents like That have a kid like Luna. Xenophilius also was a Malfoy, he was like Sirius and fundamentally different but only Kicked Out when he Chose to marry into the Lovegood family, taking her name. he and lucius LOOK like brothers like cmon

5) Moody is a hufflepuff that is just important to me, also i don’t think he’s that old tbh war just does that to you, but again that’s more for personal reasons

6) Peter loved his friends more than anything and never once WANTED to hurt them. him ratting out the potters was more him ratting out Harry and hoping that Voldemort would Only kill Harry, leaving Lily and James bc he couldn’t imagine a life without them, but they could Have another child (bit fucked up but he was also looking for the easy way out)

7) I think Narcissa and Sirius were the closest cousins besides Sirius and Andromeda. Narcissa was the clear favorite of her family branch and so was Sirius, they’re also the closest two in age, i think they’d get along well at least before hogwarts

8) The Black Family are BROKE as fuck! I’ve told you abt this but for the sake of the post: Grimmauld Place is Ratty and Dirty and Ugly in the middle of muggle row houses! Why would the MAIN family branch of the black family live there if they had a choice? they have no money (at least substantially) and they’re just kinda lying about it and hoping for the best, slowly becoming like the Gaunts

9) I don’t ship wolfstar bc i think Sirius is noncommittal and Remus is too depressed to do this shit rn but during hogwarts all the marauders did kiss a lil bit but in a bro way (also most marauders fans think sirius is bi and remus is gay, i see it the other way around, that’s just me tho. i feel like a lot of wolfstar fans shoehorn them into outdated mildly homophobic character types (the slutty bi, the inexperienced gay, etc)

10) James Potter is Indian and this isn’t so much a hot take as it is a fact bc Harry is brown in most fanon bc he kinda accidentally was written as brown-coded but not a lot of marauders fans seem to equate that with James. However i do think Harry is mixed in the way that he’s half indian, quarter east-asian, quarter white. (Lily is wasian and she and petunia are half sisters. you can guess what ethnicity Petunia is)

bonus: i cannot see Andrew Garfield as Remus in any context i think y’all are insane for that cus it looks nothing like him, just use his actual actor’s younger photos/movie clips??

Officially Yours

Characters: Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Reader

Pairings: Draco Malfoy x Reader

Warnings: None! Pure fluff!

A/N: This came to me as I was doing my yearly HP rewatch. Enjoy! (:

It was a cool fall day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and wizardry. Students were running around the castle looking for their friends. Class had just let out and many students were gathering with their friends to relax and do homework after school.

Girls were giggling in the courtyard as they chatted about who they were going to the Yule Ball with. Boys were walking around with their hands in their robes, nervous about asking said girls.

Two Slytherin boys were making their way through the halls. Some eyes watched them with curiosity, some with admiration, others with anger.

“So who you going to ask to the ball Theo?” Draco asked raising his eyebrows in curiosity. Theo and Draco had just been released from Transfiguration. They were making their way towards their spot under the big white oak tree to meet up with their friends.

Theo Shrugs. “Not sure yet. Figured I’d asked one of those Beauxbatons girls. They seem to be quite interested in us Slytherins.” He waved at a Beauxbatons girl watching them from a distance. She smiled back and turned away, an obvious blush on her face. Her friends giggled as they all seemed to watch Theo with interest. He flashes a dazzling smile as the duo made their way pass them. They all squeal in delight.

Draco rolled his eyes. Theo always had a way with girls. Girls seemed to just throw themselves at his feet. Not that it bothered him. He was in a happy relationship with Y/N. He smiled as he thought about her. He already knew they were going to go to the ball together. He hadn’t asked her officially yet, but he figured it was a given since they had already been dating for 2 years. Hell, they have known each other for what seems like their entire lives seeing how Y/N’s mom and Narcissa were best friends who were attached at the hip.

Draco thought back fondly to when they were kids. They always went to fancy events with their parents. Draco and Y/N would always be the youngest two there, meaning they never had any real fun at those events. They would sneak away and entertain each other away from the boring aristocrats that were their parents ‘friends’. Sometimes it was to go riding on their brooms together. Other times they would sneak off and find a secluded place to watch the stars. 

Draco had a special plan for the night of the ball. He smirked at the thought of you and him sneaking off to your special place. He had been planning this for a very long time. 

“Who are you going to ask?” Theo asked sarcastically, pulling Draco out of his thoughts. 

Draco scoffs. “Who do you think?” He says with a smirk.

“Have you officially asked her?”

“Do I need to?”

Theo stopped in his tracks. Draco stopped and turned at him, annoyed that he stopped.

“What?” 

“You might want to make it official.” Theo says, pointing in front of them.

Draco turned and his blood boiled instantly.

Y/N was leaning against one of the stone arches in the courtyard near the great hall. She was speaking to a boy from Beauxbatons, a boy Draco had never seen before. He looked nervous, a blush on his face. He was surrounded by a group of his friends, all of which seemed to be egging him on. Next to him were a few Durmstrang boys, clearly watching Y/N themselves. They were eyeing her the way a predator watches its prey.

The Beauxbatons boy said something that made Y/N giggle. He smiled shyly, realizing now was his chance. He pulled out a single red rose from his pocket and handed it to Y/N.

Draco shoved his books into Theo’s arm and angrily made his way towards his girlfriend. 

“And what is happening over here.” He asked in a very annoyed and angry tone.

Y/N beamed at the sight of him. “Draco.” She said happily. The groups dispersed as the situation was becoming quite obvious. The boy stood still in his spot, too scared to move. He pulled the rose towards himself as if sheltering it from Draco’s rage. Draco wrapped his arms possessively around Y/N and glared at the boy in front of him.

“Can I help you?” He asked.

“S-sorry, I didn’t realize…” The frightened boy said before he ran off towards his group of friends. Draco continued to glare at them until they were out of sight.

A soft voice pulled him out of his rage. “Hi Dray.” Y/N said placing a soft kiss on his lips.

He looked down at her, his facial expression softening. “What did that kid want?” Draco asked, a bit of jealousy in his voice.

Y/N giggled. “Oh nothing. He just asked me to the Yule Ball.” Draco looked at her in shock. “I was about to say no, but then you showed up and scared the poor kid away.” 

Blaise, who was there for all of the drama, let out a small laugh. “You were quite scary there Malfoy. Even had me shaking a little bit."

Theo laughed, entertained by the entire situation.  “Told you Malfoy.” He said, handing his books back to him. “Make it official.” He whispered, so only Draco could hear.

Draco growls, and takes Y/N’s hand, leading her away. “Common love, let’s go study.”

The next day, Draco made if official as Y/N woke up surrounded in bright red roses. In a second attempt to make sure everyone knew, Draco formally asked in the Great Hall during lunch time, making sure all eyes were on them and that everyone knew she was his. He asked her this time with a beautiful platinum bracelet with bright green emerald jewels stones. Some of which Draco may have asked his mom to include in his urgent owl to her the night before. The bracelet had a single charm; a letter D covered in sparkling diamonds. He wanted to let the entire school know, she was his.

A/N: One day this will be a series. But for now tis but a drabble. Please let me know what you think. I survive on comments.

Ummm...

At this point we are all making shit up in this HP fandom because the writer that shall not be named fucked up a lot of things...

time-lines... ages... places... people... things...

So... the Potters helped save Sirius after Remus bailed him out, they saw Remus and Sirius get married then Lily, Regie, and James get married, they meet their first-born grandkids; Magnolia, Hermione, Harry, and Cyprus (oc's and Hermione will be explained when I post more one-shots or later when I post the fanfic)... before dying.

Sirius has two other siblings besides just Regulus (and because Cygnus sucks at being a father... Narcissa, Bellatrix, and Andromeda became their sisters... the only nice thing Walburga did. (Pandora Lovegood was Narcissa's twin)

Remus was a mommy's boy because his father blamed himself for everything (when Hope got sick, Lyall grew a pair and decided to try and salvage what little relationship he had left with him)

Peter's mother was a single mom working in the bakery above their basement home.

James was a rambunctious child and his elderly parents could not keep up with him.

The four of them became best friends due to loneliness, chemistry, and similar "traumas" - James took in the three neglected unloved kids and Remus ended up accidentally starting a zoo in fourth year.

(Remus and Sirius had their first kiss at thirteen, don't tell me otherwise... he cherished and loved Remus since he was eleven and finally asked him out when they were fourteen... just a few months shy of becoming animagi for him... realizing his feelings when he frolicked as a wolf-dog with his best friend who happened to also be a wolf... he may have been a dick and might have saw the wolf as something he could fix and cure, but he got over it... he was just a teen after all)

And yeah, Sirius may have almost destroyed their relationship by letting slip about Remus' secret not knowing Snape walked by the library... he quickly realized his mistake because of Euphemia and did his best to make up with them. Hint: it something to do with his family. Hint: they were being dumb teenagers and we all say dumb stupid shit when we are young... we do stupid shit when we are young...

But no one is as lucky as the Marauders were to be able to love each other again after all the shit they put each other through... they lived through a WAR for Merlin's sake! You might have accidentally put your friends through danger too. I am sure there was something you wished you could take away from a friend or a loved one but couldn't, got stuck in your head about it, and didn't realize it until someone slapped you over the head for it.

Moving on...

The Marauders knew about Peter, everyone has a different story to "the prank", Peter is in Azkaban, mostly everyone was gay, Minnie and Poppy were like second moms to everyone, everyone lived, Remus and Lyall still had a sucky relationship but it got better and he went to his dad for EVERYTHING...

We may not agree on everything, we all have different HC's and AU's... but some things we agree on are; JK is not the greatest and Umbridge is worse than Voldemort (even though Tom is pretty fucking nasty as well), and Walburga Black was a bitch.

In other words... I am also slightly saying fuck the timeline and canon because I too, suck at math. (And also the books do not make a whole lot of sense... but I am canon compliant in some ways and you do you if you love canon... that's cool! I got into Harry Potter and Marauders through Pinterest and fanfictions so I already fucked it up for myself... don't come for me!)

A Discussion About Dramione

This is a very difficult ship in the HP fandom, alongside others like Drarry etc.

However, I think there is something to be said for it regardless, since I’ve seen a lot of anti-Dramione content with some valid points and a lot of non valid ones too, so I suppose I’d like a try my hand at rebuking some of them.

1. Dramione shippers romanticize abuse and bullying.

At first glance, it certainly looks that way. Draco Malfoy was a racist, petty, spoiled bully that jumped on every opportunity to bully Hermione Granger and her friends. He is not a good character. In the Dramione fandom, no one claims he is a good character either. Instead, the Dramione fandom recognized the canon potential for change in Draco and uses that to shape their fanfics. The largest majority of the fandom (There do exist those really young fans that don’t quite yet understand everything that will blindly defend him or create extremely problematic fanart, but they are truly a minority) acknowledges entirely all the wrongs Draco has committed, and they are many. Actually, in most Dramione fics, the writers go to great lengths to process the part of DHr’s past that was filled with hatred and insults. You can find examples of this in the fic Measure of a Man by @inadaze22​. Also to the point, most of Dramione fanfiction is written and set in a time many years after the War, after their school years, where they’ve both grown, matured and become adults, changed by time and what they went through, so it is a null point to say Dramione shippers romanticize bullying when their content is almost always set in a time where Draco is no longer a bully and Hermione is no longer a victim.

What the Dramione shippers like to emphasize is the fact that even though Draco used to be a horrible person, he had changed and grown past that, owned up to his mistakes and is now a different man. That’s what the stories they write are about. He had the potential to change already established in canon that he used later through his life to become someone better Hermione could eventually forgive and love.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a Dramione shipper that would say that while they were still in school they should’ve gotten together. Absolutely not. The content most of the Dramione fandom creates is always set post-canon, at a time where Draco’s changed and grown up from who he used to be, and Hermione recognizes his change and forgives him.

She certainly doesn’t have to forgive him, she doesn’t owe him anything, but part of Hermione’s bravery and overall character is that she would have been able to forgive him when she realized he’d changed. Plus, he saved her best friend’s life at a critical point in the war and, even though he did nothing to help her because he literally couldn’t have, which is something I’m pretty sure Hermione would have been grateful for, even a little bit. 

The Malfoy family saved Harry’s life TWICE in HP, in both extremely critical moments in the war (Draco lying at the manor, Narcissa lying to Voldemort), which is something Hermione wouldn’t have been able to just ignore and pretend like it never happened, because that’s not who she is. 

There probably is a very small percent of the Dramione fandom who create problematic content, but every fandom and every ship has toxic shippers, besides they are simply not the majority.

2. Dramione shippers use Hermione to redeem Draco.

The redemption arc Draco got in HP is extremely flimsy at best, especially considering the amount of damage he’d done prior. He saved Harry’s life, yes, but he did nothing to protect either Ron or Hermione, so personally I wouldn’t harp on about that being much of a redemption arc at all. However, I don’t think any Dramione shippers use Hermione to redeem him. In the Dramione content the things he did wrong and the hurt he inflicted is something Hermione recognizes and then, through the story, eventually chooses to leave behind. Besides, she doesn’t have to redeem him, since we know from canon he’d grown out of his beliefs eventually, privately at least if not publicly (more on this later).

3. Draco had a choice in how to act, if he really didn’t believe in blood supremacy.

No, he didn’t. Let me break it down why.

When he was 11 years old and first coming to Hogwarts, he was too young to understand the beliefs his parents ingrained into him were wrong and harmful, he simply didn’t have the mental capacity to comprehend that. He was a child that hung to every word their mom and dad said and he acted accordingly.

As he grew up though, started going through puberty and maturing, he would’ve realized that blood supremacy is wrong. Let’s say this realization came when he was 14. Lucius and Narcissa weren’t with him at Hogwarts, so if he changed his behavior to reflect his new realizations, they wouldn’t have known, right?

WRONG.

Do you really mean to tell me that if Draco Malfoy, only son and sole heir to the Malfoy family, an extremely wealthy, influential family in the Wizarding World and its politics, part of the sacred 28, well respected and with a high status in society, suddenly started being kinder and friendlier to Muggleborns and Halfbloods, people wouldn’t talk? People wouldn’t wonder, get suspicious? That such news wouldn’t reach his father, who’s got eyes and ears everywhere (evident by the fact he was able to bribe someone in Hogwarts to buy his son a position on the Quidditch team). And how do you think Lucius Malfoy, a devout Death Eater, would have reacted to receiving such news? What do you think would have happened to Draco when he came home that summer?

Draco was never abused and I doubt Lucius would start then, but I am positive he would’ve been disowned, for betraying the values his family had upheld for centuries. Lucius is a staunch blood purist and he absolutely would cut all contact with his son (disown him) when news reached him Draco was making nice with Muggleborns and Halfbloods.

And Draco knew this, he knew how strict his father was, he knew how deeply he believed in blood supremacy and he knew the consequences for stepping out of line and being anything less than the perfect son.

What would a 14-year old kid do being disowned? Homeless essentially?

So, even if he had realized the wrongs of his beliefs and renounced them, he couldn’t have done that publicly, and certainly not with Hermione Granger or Harry Potter much less, seeing as Harry Potter is the nemesis of the man his father believes in.

By the time he reaches 15 and 16, Voldemort is already at full power again and living in Draco’s house. Now things get even worse. After Lucius fails to get the Prophecy in the Department of Mysteries, Voldemort decides he has to punish him for his failure by having Draco take the Dark Mark. By this point, Draco had abandoned ideas of blood supremacy, but at this point, what the fuck is he going to do? Refuse The Dark Lord? The Darkest Wizard in all of Wizarding History? The guy who is living in his house AND holds the lives of him AND his entire family hostage? Who could and would murder Draco’s mother and father and Draco himself if Draco disobeyed? The man who murdered a person right on Draco’s kitchen table and had Nagini swallow them whole?

Even if all of that wasn’t true, and it is, how’s a 16 year old kid going to fight off a house full of seasoned Death Eaters, proficient at the Dark Arts who will use Unforgivables on him, plus Voldemort himself, plus a giant terrifying snake?

At that point, Draco is left with literally zero choice but to take the Mark and obey his mission to murder Dumbledore.

He hatches several plots to kill Dumbledore, all of which fail. When they stand at the Astronomy tower, even Dumbledore himself calls all of his plots halfhearted and weak. Dumbledore offers him help, but Draco is very clear in his regret of the things he’d done and the fact there’s no going back now.

‘I have to do this, I have to kill you, or he’s gonna kill me.’

AND

‘What do you know about me? I’ve done things that would shock you.’

(I’m paraphrasing here, these aren’t the exact quotes).

At which point Snape shows up and kills Dumbledore in Draco’s place because of the Vow he made to Narcissa.

Any way you look at it, he really didn’t have any choice, even if he did at some point during school renounce his beliefs and grow past them.

4. He tried to kill Ron.

I’ve seen antis blame Draco for this one, which is a bit ridiculous. He did not. He had madam Rosmerta poison a bottle of wine, which he sent to Horace Slughorn, hoping Slughorn would pass it onto Dumbledore. Filch hadn’t noticed any traces of poison in it, because he is a Squib, he also didn’t doubt a shipment from Rosmerta, and so he just gave it to Slughorn. Slughorn kept it around and then later he was the one to offer Ron a glass of that wine. In Draco’s plan, Ron wasn’t ever even mentioned nor included in any way. It had been an unlucky coincidence for Ron, and Draco couldn’t have possibly known that Slughorn would hold onto the wine, that Ron would ever be around Slughorn OR that Slughorn would offer Ron that same wine. Sufficed to say, Draco never attempted to murder Ronald Weasley.

5. He did nothing while Bellatrix tortured Hermione.

We’ve been over this, what could he have done? He had saved Harry’s life earlier, but that one lie couldn’t of spared Ron or Hermione, their faces were too recognizable, even if Harry’s wasn’t.

A room full of Death Eaters, some of the cruelest, most dangerous ones mind you (Bellatrix Lestrange) and he’d be 17, if I remember correctly, still not even an adult, plus at this point in the war even more powerless (considering the fact the Malfoys had fallen out of favor with Voldemort, evident by the fact Lucius tells Draco that if they deliver Harry Potter to Voldemort, all would be forgiven).

What did you expect him to do? Leap into battle and try to fend off dozens of Death Eaters, effectively betraying the Dark Lord in the process and single-handedly getting his entire family killed, if not even himself?

Would you have done that? No, of course not.

6. Draco Malfoy is not redeemable.

Now Draco’s “redemption arc”, if it can be called that, is a powerful moment but it’s flimsy. JK didn’t really ever intend for him to be redeemed or liked either, but let’s take a look at it anyways.

It is canon that Draco stopped believing in blood supremacy at some point during their school years, though we can’t know exactly when.

How can I say this, when his behavior never indicated that?

Well, I’ve already been over why he couldn’t have suddenly changed his behavior, now let’s go through how I can claim it is canon.

The scene where Draco lies to everyone about Harry’s identity.

That moment could only exist IF Draco didn’t believe in blood supremacy anymore.

Think about it, if Draco was devout to Voldemort and his beliefs like his father, he would have had no problem or conscience to tell everyone ‘Yes, this is Harry Potter, hand him over.’ It would have been favorable to him if Harry died.

And let’s be clear, if Draco had said the truth in that moment, Harry would have died. He was captured, wandless (his is broken, when they escape the Manor he steals Draco’s), Ron and Hermione captured as well, he was entirely helpless and surrounded by powerful Dark Arts wizards and witches who would lead him directly to Voldemort the moment they got confirmation it was indeed him and that would have been it. Voldemort would have killed him. Voldemort would have won.

But that isn’t what happened.

Draco looked at Harry, recognized it was him (evident by a later scene where Harry straight up says that. “Why didn’t you tell her? Bellatrix? You knew it was me, you didn’t say anything.”) and at first, still unsure what to do, asked why Harry’s face was like that, and he’s told Harry just came in like that.

Draco says “I’m not sure.”

At that point Lucius grips him and tells him that if they gave up Harry Potter to Voldemort all would be forgiven, Bellatrix brings him closer to get a second look.

Draco knows all the consequences of what he’s doing at this point, he knows what he’s risking, the literal lives of everyone he loves, and what does he do?

He still lies.

‘I can’t be sure.’

It’s a powerful moment for his character, BUT it’s not enough for redemption. The amount of pain and hatred he’d spewed for 6 years (I say 6 years because The Golden Trio wasn’t attending Hogwarts for year 7) is not redeemed by this one instance. His actions, letting Death Eaters into Hogwarts, likely torturing people on command of the Carrows in 7th year, are not redeemed by this moment, even if he did save Harry’s life.

However, though this instance doesn’t constitute redemption, it is telling of the fact Draco has changed, and changed significantly from the hateful, angry, spoiled, racist brat he used to be, which gives him potential to grow up into a different, better man.

Whether JK intended it or not, the way that was written makes Draco Malfoy more than redeemable, if not for the duration of the books, then later through his life.

Being a horrible person at one point in your life does not make you forever evil, does not mean you can not ever change. To prove this, I’d like to humbly request you to watch this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSH5EY-W5oM

Voldemort’s regime is very similar to Hitler’s Nazi movement, so this video is very fitting to my point and HP in general.

Here’s another three:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORp3q1Oaezw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw0vS0qvYo0&list=TLPQMTcxMjIwMjBZfqJdkbbQJw&index=2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4gly9n9RBo&list=TLPQMTcxMjIwMjBZfqJdkbbQJw&index=3

If you don’t have time to watch, let me sum it up for you.

The first video chronicles the story of a man who’d been part of the Neo-Nazi movement, managed to leave it behind and become an activist and overall an amazing guy now.

The other three links chronicle the story of Daryl Davis, a black man who’d attended KKK rallies and even met with the Imperial Wizard of the KKK Roger Kelly, somehow despite all odds became friends with him and eventually managed to get through to Roger Kelly to the point where this man (The leader of the KKK on a national scale) stepped down from his position and left the Ku Klux Klan.

That’s real life, something like that happened, truly happened, but Draco Malfoy is irredeemable?

PLUS, Draco is hardly the first case like this.

Take James Potter as an example. James was also a rich, racist, privileged white boy, and a bully. He’d bullied Snape severely, even set up a “prank” with his friends that would lead to Snape getting attacked by a WEREWOLF, putting him in mortal peril, with great potential of killing him, that required then a rescue operation.

James attempted murder, or if you don’t want to go that far, he set up a situation that quite possibly could have gotten someone killed, and he got to mature and grow past his behaviors and redeem himself, fall in love with Lily and have a wonderful son.

Why couldn’t Draco change when James had?

~

In conclusion, I think there’s a big diifference between what the Dramione fandom actually is and what antis think it is. 

The heart of the Dramione fandom is about growing and changing and maturing and forgiving and falling in love despite the differences of the past.

It’s not about romanticizing bullying or toxic relationships, life is not black and white people, people can change and grow from their past actions and people can also forgive and move on. 

There’s plenty of examples in the books of Harry and Ron mistreating Hermione and they all move past those instances (obviously that can’t be compared to what Draco did, I’m just making a point here).

I do acknowledge that the Dramione shippers have some bad apples among them, some problematic people that take it all too far, but honestly, every fandom and every ship has bad, toxic people so you can’t really use that against them.

All in all, things aren’t the way antis always present them, there’s a lot more gray there, and I hope this entirely too long post helped some of y’all see that.

Seventeen [D. M.]

Pairing: Draco Malfoy x Slytherin!Reader

Summary: Based on the song Seventeen, from the musical Heathers; y/N and Draco have a conversation at the Malfoy Manor during the war that can change everything. But will it?

Hogwarts Masterlist || Musical Hogwarts Masterlist

A/N: So this is one of the fics from my personal project of making hp fanfics from musicals songs and this is the first one! It’s a bit angst, but I love the song and I think it fits perfectly with Draco and y/N. Hope you guys enjoy it and stay tuned for more fics like this!

Words: 1.743

“Fine!” you shouted, locking the door behind you, keeping both you and Draco inside. He wasn’t angry at you, but the amount of strength you used to close the door scared him a bit. You were the last person he expected to throw a fit.

It was the third week in a roll that you got locked up in the Malfoy Manor, and, although huge, the place was getting on your nerves. Draco was actually saving your life, but you were getting uptight.

Since you were a Slytherin and Draco’s girlfriend, he found it’d be easier to hide you at plain sight. At first, you were sceptical, but there was no other option. You came to the Manor and started pretending to be from a forgotten line of Purebloods.

The fact was you were a half-blood, daughter of a wizard and a muggle woman. There was a big chance Voldemort and the others wanted your head, but maybe they could spare you. There are, after all, a lot of mudbloods, completely mudbloods, yet to be hunted. Somehow, though, the idea didn’t make it easier.

“We’re damaged, really damaged,” you sighed, staring at Draco’s eyes. He was sitting on the bed that had been his and yours since the begging of your stay. He didn’t want you sleeping in a room where he would have no idea of what happened — you could receive “unwanted” visitors and get killed. “But that does not make us wise!”

For you to have a room for yourselves, two things had to happen, and they were both requested by Voldermort.

First: get engaged. That was more demanded from Lucius and Narcissa then Voldemort, but he agreed, so. That was also not trouble: that same night Draco gave you a ring. Apparently, he was going to do it — he just didn’t think he’d have to do it in the presence of almost fifty death-eaters.

Second: get the dark mark. That terrified your guts, so you hadn’t get it yet. Draco was stalling the death-eaters, especially Bellatrix, who at every opportunity asked if you were ready. He’d invented something about you being allergic to brands, but it wouldn’t do much more.

“We’re not special — we’re not ‘different’” Draco was surprisingly quiet. He was deep down just like you; he didn’t want to be doing those things as well. “We don’t choose who lives or dies!”

You sighed again. Your fight wasn’t against Draco.

“Let’s be normal; see bad movies, sneak a beer. Bake brownies or go bowling,” you avoided his pity eyes. “Don’t you want a life with me?”

You sat down next to him. “Can’t we be seventeen?” ha, that was rather funny. Be seventeen! You two should be at school, you two should be laughing around the corridors of Hogwarts, he should be playing Quidditch, and you should be having girls night at your dorm room. But now that was all gone, like a distant memory.

Draco was never your best friend, but he was someone nice to have around. He would never admit it, but he was a good student with perfect grades; because of that, more times than often, you requested his help to study. So, when on the sixth year he stopped helping you out, you noticed he was different. Darker.

It was on that year that you realize you had feelings for him. You two came to some sort of agreement around that: both were in love with each other.

It’d be beautiful if it wasn’t so tragic: Draco was already depressed because of his mark and his duty to Voldemort. You couldn’t fight against him, and you couldn’t betray him — the only choice was to stay hidden until you couldn’t anymore, and he had welcomed you into the Manor.

How nice was that? Teenage love and, now, an engagement where the involved haven’t kissed each other yet?

“If you could let me in, I could be good with you,” your voice was barely a whisper, but somehow he heard.

His hand reached for yours, and you looked down at the simple touch. “People hurt us,” you pointed out, taking a great look at his mark, forever on his arm.

“Or they vanish,” he added, reminding you of your mom and dad who had disappeared. It wasn’t their fault — you asked them to vanish — but you still missed them every day.

“And you’re right, that really blows. But we let go—”

“Take a deep breath,” his words seemed to reach every part of your brain and tranquillize you along the way. You hoped your voice had the same effect for him.

“We’ll go camping,” you suggested with a faded smile, trying to make the situation more fun. It didn’t need to happen right now, but maybe one day, yes.

“Play some Gobstones,” he sighed, starting to play your game.

“And we’ll eat some flavour beans,” you looked up in an attempt to meet his gaze. “Maybe prom night.”

“Maybe dancing,” he finally stared back at you.

“Don’t stop looking in my eyes,” you smiled, taking your hands out of his and holding his face, making him keep his gaze on you.

“Your eyes...” he repeated your words, a sign that he was lost in thoughts you could only imagine. Lucius didn’t trust you completely so many times he needed to ask things from Draco, he asked him alone. You had no idea what he and Voldemort were planning from Draco, but something was coming, especially after he failed at killing Dumbledore.

“Can’t we be seventeen? Is that so hard to do?” he tilted his head like he was melting at your touch. “If you could let me in, I could be good with you.”

“Let us be seventeen if we still got the right,” Draco said. His hand that was before laying on your lap lost without your hand traced a path around your body so it could meet your face just like you were doing.

“I wanna be with you,” you said, informing him as if for the first time. Those words expressed more than staying at the Malfoy Manor — they meant you wanted him, you wanted to be his for real.

“I wanna be with you,” he replied. Before the first tear fell from your eyes, his lips touched you for the very first time.

He had kissed your hand before and even your forehead on a cold night. Your heart had stopped both of those times, but nothing like now. It was a new experience; kissing Draco couldn’t be compared to anything you two had done before.

Your hands, once holding his chin, were now wandering his silver locks and finding pleasure with the texture. His hand that was on your face pulled you even closer and the other one once free was now wandering your body with the same eager as you.

“Yeah, we’re damaged,” you muttered when his lips reached for your neck — experience in a whole other level.

“Badly damaged,” he whispered back.

“But...” you tried to continue, but his lips met yours once again, shutting you up.

“Your love’s too good to lose,” he added, pushing you back a little just so you could see his eyes and know that he meant it.

Draco wanted you. He wanted all of you. Not just for the night, but for the next, and the other, and the next after that. He knew he loved you for a while, but with the war happening, things got a little foggy. His priorities were mixed.

His father had just some minutes ago told him that he knew you were a half-blood. Lucius told Draco that you wouldn’t be killed for that, but since it meant your father was married to a witch, they’d hunt down at least the two.

“They will be killed, son, don’t get me wrong,”  said Lucius in a warning tone. “The problem is they’ll probably want her to do it.”

So, yeah, Draco was mad when he got in the room he was sharing with you. He was enraged to the maximum. It was something having Voldemort forcing him to do things — it was a complete and unacceptable other thing him wanting you to do things.

You are perfect; you are his light. He wouldn’t bare seeing you going dark.

So, while he was snogging you — and don’t get me wrong, he was loving it, he was over the moon about that part —, he was planning a way to escape the Manor. It wouldn’t be easy, but it wasn’t impossible. He would need his mom, but he was sure she’d help.

You and Draco ended up in the bed, naked. You guessed all that angst and the war could not stop the teen hormones. Not that you were complaining — Draco was great at it. He was gentle but firm, a combination that surprised you.

You were not very sure of what to do, but Draco was patient.

“Tonight is not about me.”

“That will be a first,” you said, trying to defuse the tension.

He smirked at you in that way that only he knew how. It made you jealous, you really wished you could smile like that.

“I’ve got a plan,” he said when you were laying on his chest. His voice was barely a whisper. “Tonight, we’ll run away. I’ll ask mom, she’ll know how to help, and some house-elves can stock food in a bag...”

“Draco?”

“Yeah?” you looked up at him.

“You’re really going to run away with me? You know you don’t have to, right?” you didn’t know how to proceed. “I mean, you are safe here. ”

“If I am what you choose,” he said with a soft voice, “then I’ll do what’s needed to see you protected.”

You kissed him again, and again, unable to stop. It could have been a happy memory if it wasn’t for the background.

A knock on the door froze you two. Draco was faster, he got up and inside his pants. He was at the door when he turned back to face you, and you nodded for him to open.

Narcissa head popped in, but she was so anxious she didn’t even take a good look around.

“Draco, we need you downstairs. I think we’ve got him!”

“Who?”

You crawled the bed, leaning towards the door.

“I think we’ve got Potter.”

The-Family-Who-Lived AU

Fandom: Harry Potter

Pairing: James x Lily, Harry x Hermione

A/N: I already know I have sooooo many works I'm suppose to get out, but this is just stuck in my head and I can't get it out. So enjoy my first contribution to HP fandom

Voldemort was dead

He was finally gone

James sat heavily on his chair in Pottor Manor cradling his wife and son in his arms thinking of what happened earlier that night

The attack on his family

The obvious betrayal by his friend Peter who now was on his way to Azkaban

James didn't know what saved them from Vodemort or what killed him, but he was grateful

All he remembered was facing off against that evil man in his son's nursery. Begging him to spare Lily and Harry's lives

He saw the spell being cast he heard the words cross Voldemort's lips, but they didn't die

Everything was a blur after that

Them leaving the destroyed house

Seeing Hagrid arrive, telling him to send word to Dumbledore about what happen

Sirius and him capturing Peter and Sirius taking him in

Apporating away from the scene as reporters began spilling in promising answers in the morning

Lily shifted in his arms breaking him from his thoughts

Lily: What do we do now?

James: We treasure the gift we've been given

And that's what they did

James used his position as both and Aurora and the Head of a powerful and Ancient house to make sure every Death Eater that was brought before him faced justice

And when the Minstery refused to put away rich men who turned out to be Death Eaters he would use his title as a member of the Family-Who-Lived to remind people what could happen if they let these men walk

James helped put away men like Peter Pettigrew, Luscious Malfory, Barty Crouch Jr., and Severous Snape, so that his son could have a better and safer future

Soon James was promoted to Head Aurora for all his work against Death Eaters and keeping people safe

But he had a feeling him being a member of the Family-Who-Lived also played a part in thay

As Harry grew older and started to attend primary school (Lily insisted) Lily accepted the job as the Ancient Runes and Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts

At first a lot of the students were nervous around her, she was a member of the Family-Who-Lived, which meant she had to be a very powerful witch and very tough to help defeat He Who Must Not Be Named

As the students walked into the room they were expecting a very stern woman who wouldn't put up with anything

But soon she was able to disprove their expectations with her kindness and patience

Soon she was known as the cool professor throughout all the houses

When they entered her classroom she didn't care about the colors they wore, where they came from, or what their blood status was

They were her students first everything else second

She loved her job, she even started a couple of clubs for the muggleborns and halfbloods to help them keep connected to their roots in the muggle world, with some curious purebloods joining the clubs as well

Such as a muggle sports club with Madame Hooch were they would play sports like football and rugby

Lily would also smuggle in muggle shows using magic, the most popular one being Doctor Who

She showed an episode in class once and got a lot of the purebloods obsessed with it

Now she plays episodes in her classroom every Tuesday and Thursday during lunch

But no matter how busy they got in their professional lives Lily and James always made sure to put their family first

They made sure they were there for dinner every nigh and they would switch off who would pick Harry up from school with Remus and Sirus picking Harry up when neither could

The two men practically lived at Potter Manor with the family the only sleeping in their own apartments when they had a date (Sirius) or if it was close to the full moon (Remus)

With them being known as the Family-Who-Lived James and Lily was careful to not exposed Harry too much to the wizarding world

They didn't want him growing up in the lime light with constant scrutiny from others

Because of this they were very careful with who they let Harry interact with

The first family was of course the one of Harry's godmother the Longbottoms Alice, Frank, and Neville

The Second Family was the Weasleys who did everything they could to help during the war

The third was of course Sirius' favorite cousin Andy and her husband Ted with their little girl in tow who soon became the leader of the children when she was home from Hogwarts

The fourth family surprised a lot of people because it was the Malfoy family.

After Lucious went to Azkaban, Narcissa reconnected with her estranged sister Andy, begging for forgiveness and to start over

Andy of course welcomed her sister back into her life with open arms and vouch for her with the Potters

The boys from each family seem to take to each other almost immediately

And much to James' glee and Lily's annoyance Harry seemed to inherent James' knack for causing trouble and dragging innocent boys down with him

Harry loved his family and his life

He got to play with his best friends Ron, Neville, and Draco almost everyday

His dad and uncles would tell him all sort of stories from their days in Hogwarts and the trouble they caused

His favorite was about how his dad first met his mom

Lily would always roll her eyes when James told that story making sure to give Harry her side of it

When Harry turned 11 and got his Hogwarts letter the Muaraders sat Harry, Ron, Neville, and Draco down and told them about the Muraders and officially passed the name down to the new group of boys, giving them the map and Harry the invincibility cloak

The group of boys made a promise with eachother that they would become animagis just like the original members

Lily overheard them and made them promise to let her know when they started the process so she can at least keep an eye on them in case something goes wrong

They also promised to stay friends no matter what house they were sorted into

September 1st came faster then expected and soon the Potter family (uncles included) were dropping Harry off on Platform 9¾

As they past through the barrier Harry told them he was going to look to see if his friends had arrived yet running off before any of the adults could tell him no

Lily *shaking her head*: That boy, I swear he's just like you, James.

James *laighing and wrapping his arms around Lily's waist*: He's much more like you my love with his brilliant mind and caring heart

Lily: Flattery will get you no where Potter. Can any of you see Harry or the Malfoys, Longbottoms, or Weasleys?

The men began to scan the crowd looking for the young Potter and his friends

Sirius*pointing in the opposite direction Harry went*: There are the Malfoys

James: And I can see Frank by the train

Remus *stifling laughter and pointing*: And I think I see history repeating itself

The other adults looked over to where Remus was pointing seeing that Remus was right

They could see Harry with a lovestruck look on his face as he talked to a young girl with wild brown hair and her obviously muggle parents

Sirius let out barking laughter as he watch little prongslet grab the girl and start dragging her over to them with her parents following the children, probably a bit worried about this strange boy taking their daughter away

Harry *dragging the girl over*: MUM! DAD! UNCLE PADFOOT! UNCLE MOONY! I want you guys to meet Hermione Granger!

James *trying to hide his laughter*: Hello Hermiome it's nice to meet you

Hermione *shyly*: Hello

The group of adults also introduced themselves to Hermione's parents as the two children continued to chat with eachother

Slowly the rest of the group started to join them with Harry introducing each boy to his new friend

Lily couldn't help but noticed that as Harry eagerly introduce Hermione to the other boys, he also had his arm wrapped around her the whole time not seeming to realize that he was doing it.

As the time came for the kids to board the train goodbyes were exchanged, hugs were shared, and tears were shed (James: They're not tears Lily! It's liquid bride!)

As the kids were about to board the train Harry turned to the Grangers wrapping his arm around Hermione's shoulders again

Harry: Don't worry about Hermione I'll take care of her

Hermione gets a bit of a sour expression on her face, turning to face Harry as his arm fell from her shoulders

Hermione: I am more than capable of taking care of myself

Harry's lovestruck expression returned

Harry: Of that I have no doubt

The two said their final goodbyes to the adults before boarding the train

The adults stayed on the platform watching as the Hogwarts Express drove out of sight

As the adult wave goodbye and the Granger's left the train station sighting the need to return to their dentistry practice and the other families left as well the Muraders burst into laughter

Lily*hitting James on the shoulder*: This is all your fault!

James *still laughing*: What?

Sirius: Don't be too hard on him Lily

Remus *shaking his head*: That poor girl has no idea what she just got drag into

James: Did you see her reaction to Harry's comment at the end? No, she isn't going to be drag into anything else so easily. She's a fighter I can tell

Lily: Well we'll just have to wait and see

Harry Potter characters that I like

In response to a Romione fan who thought I hated every HP character and hated everything about the series because I don't stan certain characters and ships, I want to mention here the few characters I like.

For me, I like a character usually if:

they have an interesting personality and background

I feel sorry for how they are generally misunderstood or bashed by fandom (sometimes I take great pleasure in being a contrarian haha) or treated by the author.

their wins feel earned in the narrative and I feel inspired

So here is my list!

Draco Malfoy + Malfoy family

I love Draco so much. I admit that I was drawn in mostly through fanon but as I explored the books more, I really enjoyed his book character a lot. He has a vibrant and entertaining personality and I like how meta he can be sometimes. Every time he proclaims how bad Hagrid is as a teacher or how Hogwarts sucks as a school, I just want to hug him so badly. I also like his parents and their interactions as a family later in the books. Narcissa is my fav mom, no contest. I just think that JKR wasted his potential. Draco is the most developed Slytherin kid and his character should have represented hope for a better future. But of course, JKR only cares about her lions (and Snape who she tried to retcon as a lion too lol) so screw Slytherins. And the NPC houses.

Black family

Gosh, I absolutely ADORE the Black family. The Black family is the most intriguing set of characters JKR ever wrote in HP. The Black family lore, the constellation theme, the dark history, the tragedy. Chef's kiss! Screw making a marauders' prequel!!! Give me a Black Family series! You shouldn't be surprised that Sirius Black is my favourite marauder. Compared to Sirius, James Potter is an utter bore.

Neville Longbottom

I often wish Neville was the chosen one instead of Harry. I think Neville's story is more tragic than Harry's. It must be torture to have your parents alive but practically dead. And Neville just feels more heroic to me. A lot of times, I hate Harry's hero's journey because JKR keeps letting Harry win due to deu ex Machina. It was nice seeing Neville gradually grow into the man he was at the end. And Neville's rage at Bellatrix just felt more visceral compared to Harry's with Moldy Voldy. I just like Neville, he's so sweet and he deserves better friends.

Percy Weasley

On the surface, I don't care much about Percy but I do feel sorry for him. Ron and the twins treated him like trash. His family just had a hate boner for him. Poor Percy. I can vibe with a family black sheep character. I don't like how people paint him as the bad guy for walking out on his family. And I appreciate how distinguished he is as a Weasley. He is the only Weasley member not to bow down and kiss Dumbles' backside like a brainless puppet. It's a shame it backfired on him but I admire his logic.

Luna Lovegood

To be honest, Luna was a nothing character to me until I began reading Druna fanfiction and I realized how adorable her character is in the books. She makes me smile and I like how she used to talk back to the trio in the beginning. So funny when Luna told Harry that people thought Hagrid was a bad teacher lol! I think Luna is the only HP girl I like...also maybe because I really like picturing her with Draco. No shame!

Severus Snape

What a beautiful and tragic character. Like Draco, Snape is such a pleasure to read. The man is pure entertainment in written form. I don't love Snape the way I do Draco, but I like picturing him with a better life. 'Snape drops out of Hogwarts' is one of my favourite AO3 tags. I love how he dedicated his life to good even though life was cruel to him and gave him a bad hand. Everything about Snape is so intriguing and I like learning more about him. Definitely one of JKR's best characters.

Ron Weasley

I hate the golden trio but I find Ron the most tolerable and the most interesting. It's a shame I found myself disliking the guy in the epilogue. People complain about the movies ruining Ron but JKR was ruining Ron in the books too. Ron started out as so intelligent but gradually JKR made him slobbier and dumber. I like how Ron was the common sense guy. Once again, Ron had to be the one to tell Harry what a complete trash disaster Hagrid was. Lord, I hate that man! Shame Hagrid's spiders didn't kill him!!! I wish JKR expanded on Ron's chess ability. Ron showed promise as being a leader of the trio (Lord knows Harry was a disaster) and Ron being strategic would fit with his chess skills...but JKR never followed through. My fellow HP critic, chicory, mentioned this passage:

‘Hmm,’ said a small voice in his ear. ‘Difficult. Very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There’s talent, oh my goodness, yes – and a nice thirst to prove yourself, now that’s interesting … So where shall I put you?’

applies more to Ron than Harry and I have to agree with her.

There are also several instances of Ron just being a sweet friend to Harry and Hermione and I wish he had better friends. I don't care what Romione/Hermione fans say. Hermione does not deserve a guy like Ron. Never did and never will. I don't even think Harry deserves Ron either. Ron does so much more for Harry than Harry ever did for him. I would have preferred if the Luna friendship was developed more for Ron. Ron has his infuriating moments but his great moments offset them. Out of the trio, I think Ron is the best character and sometimes I wish he was the protag instead of Harry.

Well, let me end it at 7, the perfect number! I can't fully word why I like or love some of these characters but this is a gist.

Of course, there may be other characters that I enjoy for what they are in the story (the Death Eaters, Dumbledore etc) but I don't care about them enough to mention them. Blessings!

What and who are some of your best or most stand out rp experiences and people throughout your time in rp?

hooooooooooooooooo boi this is gonna be list

every single rp i’ve ever been in has made it’s own impacts on me, the people i’ve talked to, the amazing community and friends, the inspirational writing, the time spent talking about fandoms and ocs and everything in between.

i’ve been rping for over half a decade now ( a decade? i think, time and memory r both hard ), and, can you believe it, it started at hexrpg. i remember trying so many threads but there was this one narcissa rper who i shared a thread with ( i was playing lucius, seventh year hogwarts, enemies to romance lovers arc thing ), and they were so encouraging and i remember being blown away by their talent. they gave me a piece of advice that has still stuck with me - write an emotional response to their para, then a physical, then an emotional response to your own actions, and make sure that you give them something to respond to - whether ic or world things. Easy guaranteed three paragraphs. I still go through that advice any time I struggle with a reply. Whoever you are, know that I owe you my life.

Actually, time is hard, so the first rp may have been a superwhoavengerlock chatzy rp? the - group of excellent moffats? i just got hit by seven different waves of cringe and nostalgia, but i was there for at least a year and that was the first time that i made friends online. i was playing capn jack harkness, and got to explore the possibilities of non-straight sexualities, group rp, had this one lady ( who played??? thor’s mom? ) talk me through one of my first major panic attacks, i learnt to write really fast ( open chatzy channel with seven active players u had to be fast and still get a decent reply in, it was a fun challenge ). again, i owe so much to them.

then @somnacin introduced me to tumblr rp ( during a snow day from school GOD what a throwback ), and i lingered in the hp fandom for a while, getting better at writing ( i built a whole radio ep for one muse - glenda, who was a radio host, i should try and find that ), tilden still has a place in my heart, every narcissa i’ve played a lucius against has been incredible, dani (??? im bad at names im sorry) who i played remus against their sirius and i still remember planning the star wars prank for the dash.

then my first foray out was diverona, and i had the time of my life playing cassian. then worthfightingfor - victoria, if you’re out there, thank you for one of the most memorable rps. i took a six month hiatus for my gap year and couldn’t wait to come back every moment. i love leverage, but i also adored all the different mechanics and event methods, especially the ongoing heists and tasks.

then came the shift from skype to discord, and all the rps and incredible writers i’ve had the honor of writing with since. menagerie, millennium, arcana, behindsanity, highcourt, colloportus, and currently, terror. every single one brought something unique and incredible to the table and truly helped me grow.

and all the people who have truly levelled up my writing. @icaruswritings ( for showing me the truth about the longing in hands ) @annabcths ( how many groups together now? i will follow you anywhere ) @rajkumariwrites ( you have my heart my glittersatan ) @venlirps ( i’m so glad to have met you and infodumped about leverage on you this past year and groused on the adhd ) @mintyxtea ( the ecnouragement! the care! the patience for a new player! ) @polarisdreams ( rhi you inspired so much of my rp style and ilu i will always add u back into the discord ) @hailthequeens ( if there was anyone i’m happy to lose a muse to, it’s you ) @boy-wcnder ( for all our talks on a solarpunk reality ) @lxcuna ( for all your incredible creations and encouragement ) , @dionysins (  who knew me back when i was still going by lotzo ) everyone in terror rn, all of you who’ve deleted your blogs, all those who i never got your urls, k, zero, riley, the list is endless.

the rpc and the people and the creations and the journeys we have been on have been incredible, and wow this got long and sappy, but yes! many many standouts, it’s been a blast.

Catch Up. (HP)

Hi! After all these years I still have strong feelings for Harry Potter and this has been in my drafts forever. This isn't my best or favorite work, but I do like it. When I wrote it eons ago, it was meant to be a dramione fic. This takes place after the war. Comments are appreciated and encouraged :)

Masterlist

Warnings: None. People are dealing with the aftermath. 

Note: I will be posting You’re Special (billy x oc) part 4 in a few days, as well as adding this to my masterlist.  

Summary: Hogwarts is opened after the war, and students are trying to deal.

Hogwarts was closed for one year until it re opened, welcoming back new and old students. The first years were in a shock, their eyes wide open and staring up at the castle in wonder. Hagrid stood by them stiffly, ushering them along to the canoes. 

The old students, however, knew better.

They knew that there were new ghosts that roamed the Great Hall, and that some paintings were a blank canvas from lost artworks. New walls and new bricks lined the halls that they used to know so well and there were different twists and turns that rendered the Marauder's Map useless. 

Hermione Granger sat in Great Hall, dragging her peas around her plate. The enchanted ceiling showed a cloudless sky, and the constellations shown down on them. Sadly, she was never very interested in astronomy, and wasn’t able to name any of the stars. She thought back to the night of her sorting, smiling gently at the memory. Then she looked up to notice that Lavender Brown’s usual seat was empty further down the table.

Ron Weasley didn’t want to be there. He wanted to be at home, wanted to be with his family. It made his heart ache knowing he couldn’t see anyone, save for his little sister. But when his mom begged him to go back to school, he agreed. He would do it for her, and he would be there for Ginny. She was down one brother, and she couldn’t do without another. 

Harry Potter got an owl last night from George Weasley. He poured his worries out to Harry, warning him about Ron’s temperamental mood that had taken over him. He also thanked him again, like many others. For once, people kept their distance from the trio. They must have understood for once that they needed time to heal, like everyone else.

“It’s strange, isn’t it?” said Harry, finally breaking the tension. “I keep thinking I’ll wake up, and nothing bad had ever happened.” Harry watched his friends across from him pick at their food, their gaze fixed pointedly downwards.

“It really is different this year, you know. I feel it. Hogwarts's changed.” said Ginny, sitting down next to Harry. She placed her hand gently on his knee, giving him a sympathetic smile. All Harry wanted was his two best friends back. “But I’m glad it opened, of course. Where else would we go?” she tried to keep it light, but the words hung in between the four of them.

Where would they go?

“It’s home.” said Hermione. “We would be lost without it. I can finally return all of those books I had to read last year.” She smiled at Harry, hoping the small joke would reassure him that she was okay.

Because she was, really. She was going to get her parents back soon, as Mcgonagall had promised. Her friends were alive, she had her health, and she was getting her very own head girl common room.

Things were looking up, it was just hard to fixate on them.

Across the Great Hall, the Slytherin table was being completely ignored, as always. Because they were trapped in the dungeon during the battle, their parents chose their destinies. Because if you were sorted into Slytherin, you might as well have the Dark Mark. 

It was silly to think anything would change, but when old Slytherins couldn’t help but to believe in something better. 

Draco Malfoy was sitting in his seat alone. Two days ago, his father went to jail, and Draco stood in court wearing the same suit he wore on that night and watched his father get carried away without saying a word. One day ago, His mother was free, and he knew it was better this way. Yesterday night, Draco’s mother told him they would be moving, and that they were due for some change.

They couldn’t stay in the Malfoy Manor a second longer. The memories haunted both of them, and his footsteps echoed in the halls, and Narcissa still heard her sister’s evil cackling.

Draco wanted to change. It seemed like a fog was lifted, and suddenly, everything he knew was rubbish. He was working hard to prove that he wasn’t like he used to be, but his peers were holding him back. They looked over their shoulders to catch a glimpse of the famous coward, of the screwed up son, of the bully, of the tormentor. He was stranded in his own house; a true Slytherin would have known where his loyalties lay, whether it be with Harry Potter or Voldemort. If anything, they pitied him. 

Just has Draco shoved a fork full of mashed potatoes into his mouth, Pansy Parkinson sat down in the seat next to him, a plate magically appearing for her. “I didn’t think I would see you here.”

“I sent you an owl telling you I would be, Pans.” The nickname rolled off his tongue naturally. 

She eyed him carefully, taking in his familiar profile. He looked better. In a way, he looked healthier. His skin was back to it’s normal ivory shade, and his eyes had lost their dullness. However, his demeanor was rigid, compared to his typical relaxed posture. Now he looked on edge, hovering over his dinner, eyes skirting around. Rejection hurt.

“I know you did, but I didn’t let myself believe it until I saw you.” She said. “How are you?”

“I’m okay.” Draco was glad that Pansy was painfully oblivious of others (or that she didn’t care), and that he had an old friend to sit with. “I’m glad you’re here, I couldn’t take another second of this.” Pansy regarded him with a sympathetic smile. To her, Draco was Draco, forever and always her oldest friend. 

Pansy patted his shoulder. It was the first time someone had touched him besides his mother in months. He leaned into her hand instinctively, his shoulder pushing into her hand. Draco turned slightly and offered a smile, for old time’s sake. “Consider me your new, personal bodyguard.” she said.

Blaise came into view and sat down across from Draco. He wasn’t wearing his tie, and he left a few of his buttons undone. He never saw the uniform as mandatory, but merely a suggestion. “Excuse me, but I don’t think you can just replace me like that.”

“We can work together and be a duo.” said Pansy, laughing. She reached over and took one of Draco’s meatballs with her fork. 

“Double the trouble.” said Blaise. “What do you think, Malfoy?” Malfoy only thought back to his old bodyguards for a moment. It was weird, but he couldn't but feel like he was replacing Crabbe and Goyle. (With one dead and one in Azkaban, though, he figured he had to leave them behind.)

“Double the trouble, 2.0." Blaise and Pansy highfived as a seal of agreement. The noise caught the attention of the other houses, who were so eagerly waiting so something. But instead of a confrontation-a fight, they got joy. That would show them, thought Draco. Slytherins are nothing but people, and it was time they understood that. 

He was going to get better sooner than he thought.

Sirius Black and the unjust treatment of his character

Sirius Black is a very important character to me, for various reasons. One of them is how realistic the character can be when compared to some of the other near perfect and unflappable HP characters, like Harry, Hermione, Ginny, McGonnagal, the twins and most of the Weasleys, etc. 

Sirius’s treatment in book 5 highlights the lack of tact and emotional sensitivity present in the wizarding world, as well as a failed opportunity for J.K Rowling to discuss depression in a thoughtful way. 

Book 5 is my favorite Sirius book and represents an understandable change in character. In the third book, Sirius was unhinged, but free, and driven by a destructive desire to kill Peter. This urge sustained him and kept him going throughout the book. We saw little of Sirius but his actions vacillated between thoughtful (the Firebolt, signed Hogsmeade permission slip, Pig the owl, etc) and recklessly careless. In book 4, he was free, healthier, no longer alone and driven by a desire to keep Harry safe. As such, he is mostly a stable, positive influence to Harry - someone reliable and who offers good advice. In book 5, he regresses, in some ways, to how he was in book 3. He was back in the family home he had been abused and neglected in (just look at Kreacher and his mom's portrait), was unable to help Harry and was treated many times like a dog (no pun intended).

Poor Sirius went 12 years without affection, hope, hygiene, sun light, proper food, entertainment, comfort, and all in the ghastly presence of dementors. All of this is enough to make a person lose their grip on reality. But to be forced into a family home full of bad memories? I nearly go insane when I go back to my parents', I can imagine how Sirius would take it. 

So, to me, it’s understandable that Sirius shuts away in his room (it’s not like anyone except for Harry and some of the Weasley kids like Sirius), that he is bitter and often unable to keep a lid on his emotions. He should be allowed to express his emotions, yet tries to keep it together for Harry and so that people like Molly and Hermione don’t accuse him of being “selfish” and having “fits of the sullens”. 

Honestly, it's despicable the way he is treated by everyone apart from Harry. Dumbledore keeps him under lock and key because it is convenient, Molly insults Sirius of being a bad godfather (going as far as saying she’s like a mother to the kid she never writes to or knows) and treats him like it's not his house she's staying in. Hermione, as usual, as the sensitivity of a sociopath. She tells Harry that Sirius is being selfish because he wanted Harry to stay with him. It's natural that Sirius was, in some ways, disappointed by the fact that Harry would leave and he would be alone. But Sirius also didn't say anything to Harry, and pretended to be happy. That's not selfishness. And it's natural that he can't fake it very well because he's bloody depressed. 

There’s also Molly’s words about Sirius treating Harry like James, and how the whole fandom seems to believe them. 

Sirius never calls Harry James, never talks about his issues (and frequently says things like "Don't worry about me", "This isn't about me", "Take Neville and go"), never asks Harry to be something he isn't. Just because he said "You're less like your father than I thought", it doesn't mean he is disappointed by the fact that Harry isn't James. Sirius was being passive aggressive, and he was wrong. He wanted to visit Harry and was disappointed when Harry said he couldn't. Harry was the only person for whom Sirius would leave the house, so his hopes were crushed. 

However, Sirius isn't the only person to compare Harry to James in an admonishing way. Remember when Remus told Harry that he was being like his father in book 7 because James considered it the height of dishonor to suspect a friend? Remus essentially used the comparison to James to call Harry naive. It was a similar method to what Sirius used, except the motives were less selfish. Remus compares Harry to James frequently without being told he can’t tell the two apart. 

Sirius was often a bit impatient and rash in book 5, yet he also offered Harry more support than all of the characters apart from Ron and Hermione, he got most of his act together after the aforementioned Floo conversation, he tried to keep in contact with Harry. His love and devotion for Harry remains, to me, the best example of active parental love (which rules out Harry’s parents). 

Dumbledore and Hermione’s treatment of Sirius after his death is also incredibly unjust. He is blamed for Kreacher’s actions - which were his own. Sirius’s treatment of Kreacher was on par with Kreacher’s treatment of Sirius and is based on a relationship that goes back to when Sirius was just a baby. Had Sirius treated Kreacher with the respect the elf did not deserve, Kreacher could’ve still made the choice he made. Kreacher’s alliances were always with Regulus and, at the time, it was believed that those alliances were with Voldemort and his followers. Naturally, Kreacher sought Narcissa and Bellatrix. Regardless, Voldemort’s plan would surely not have been thwarted by Kreacher alone, had the house-elf decided not to betray Sirius. 

Blaming Sirius and his reckless nature is equally unfair. Sirius chose to fight in that battle for Harry, his godson, just like everyone else in the Department of Mysteries did. Because Dumbledore warned Sirius to remain locked up, that doesn’t mean Sirius is to blame for his own death. We don’t blame Tonks for dying in the Battle of Hogwarts even if she could’ve remained home with Teddy. Sirius chose to fight regardless of the threat of death or capture, because he loved Harry and believed in what he was fighting for. 

Despite Sirius’s flaws, he was brave, intelligent, loving and did his best to be there for his godson. Until the moment Sirius died, Harry never doubted his love. Sirius is infinitely more admirable than characters like Snape or Dumbledore who get all of the glory and respect from the writer and the characters despite being genuinely guilty for many deaths. 

But this is just my opinion. Feel free to contradict me.

My answers to the Harry Potter Ask Game!  *:・ﾟ✧

Hope I didn’t miss anyone! :) Thank you for asking, this was a lot of fun!!! <333

Dobby: Who are you most loyal to? Hm... I’d say myself first of all, even though me and I have a very love-hate relationship, mostly hate :D but umm, I guess I’m most loyal to my family, particularly my mom, grandmother, brother, and my partner :)

Sirius Black: Have you ever been accused of doing something you didn't do? I have, one instance in particular was extremely uncomfortable and didn’t end well (I mean now I’m glad it happened but at that time it was horrible), but that’s one of the most personal, private stories I have so I’m sorry I cannot share <3

Hedwig: If you went to Hogwarts, what kind of pet would you bring? (ex: cat, owl, rat, frog) Cat!!!!!

Remus Lupin: If you transform into any one animal or creature, which one would it be? Hmm... probably some bird? That’d be lovely :) OR some land animal that’s relatively small, pretty fast, strong when they have to be, good at camouflage and hiding... So what fits this criteria? A badger? :D Is this the ultimate confirmation of my Hufflepuff identity? :D It better be!

Draco Malfoy: Is it better to be feared or to be loved? Oh easy :) I cannot even stand the idea of somebody being afraid of me.

Harry Potter: Tell us about a scar on your body. I don’t have anything interesting with a cool story, I just have a few boring leftover chicken pox scars, an iron burn scar (lol), a little scar at the bottom of my chin from tripping on the sidewalk on my first day to kindergarten (i’ve always been a loser haha) and a few random cuts on my finger and forearm and elbow, I don’t even remember how they got there :D

Neville Longbottom: Tell us an embarrassing story. Does my whole life count? :D It’s funny how long it took me to think of an answer actually, I involuntarily think about all of my embarassed moments all the time, but now that I’m asked this question, it took me a lot of thinking to remember something :D I mean there was one short film competition I participated in as a teen, I was ambitious but very inexperienced, so after my video was played during the festival in front of the audience and the panel of judges, everyone literally started laughing because it was so fucking terrible :D It’s kind of funny now, but at that moment I wanted to disappear from the universe forever, I didn’t expect such a harsh reaction and I was very embarrassed. Plus I don’t handle failure that well so yeah, it hit me pretty bad :D But I’m over it of course, I’m a legit videographer now, I’m glad that moment didn’t stop me from continuing to pursue my dream :)

Narcissa Malfoy: Do you have a good relationship with your family? Who are you closest to? Yes, I think so :) I’m bad at showing affection but I love them very much :) And I’m closest to either my grandmother, she’s like my spiritual guide or something, always there for me and I love her so much, or to my younger brother, there’s nobody I care about as much as I care about him. They’re both very very important in my life because my grandmother is who is there for me, and my brother is who I am there for :’)

Dobby: Who are you most loyal to? (already answered and copy pasted) Hm... I’d say myself first of all, even though me and I have a very love-hate relationship, mostly hate :D but umm, I guess I’m most loyal to my family, particularly my mom, grandmother, brother, and my partner :)

Arthur Weasley: What do you think is the best "muggle" invention? Printing press :) Everything we value today started with that.

Severus Snape: Are you a trustworthy person? Yes, I genuinely think I am :)

Answered a few asks above! <3

Remus Lupin: If you transform into any one animal or creature, which one would it be? (already answered and copy pasted) Hmm... probably some bird? That’d be lovely :) OR some land animal that’s relatively small, pretty fast, strong when they have to be, good at camouflage and hiding... So what fits this criteria? A badger? :D Is this the ultimate confirmation of my Hufflepuff identity? :D It better be!

Aunt Petunia: What is your favorite flower? White tulips :) I remember sitting in my grandmother’s backyard as a kid, I just sat there enjoying the weather, and I looked at the white tulips growing nearby and I stared at them forever, loving them so much, and I said to myself, “this is the most beautiful flower in the world.” It still is :)

Molly Weasley: What is the proudest moment of your life? It’s not a very interesting answer but I guess getting into college :) I’m from Europe and I applied to the United States just to try my chances, just for “what if,” I did not expect to actually get in to my very top choice university AND be offered a full tuition scholarship. It was something I was afraid to even dream of, but it happened, and it makes me feel both very proud of myself and very fortunate :)

Lily Potter: What color eyes do you have? My eyes are of that weird color, neither blue nor green, kinda dark and greyish, really hard to describe :D

Cho Chang: If you were on the Quidditch team, what position would you play? First of all, I don’t know what in the world would make me join a Quidditch team :D Like I probably would have to have my family held hostage or something for me to actually be forced into Quidditch :D haha but if I were playing Quidditch, I’d go with Seeker.

Mr. Ollivander: What would your wand look like? Very simple, straight, smooth, easy to grip so it’s comfortable and doesn’t hurt my fingers, either clean black or looking like very old wood, and maybe with a little gem somewhere, a stone that has some significance to me, like a birthstone or something so that it serves like an amulet :)

Harry Potter: Tell us about a scar on your body. (already answered and copy pasted) I don’t have anything interesting with a cool story, I just have a few boring leftover chicken pox scars, an iron burn scar (lol), a little scar at the bottom of my chin from tripping on the sidewalk on my first day to kindergarten (i’ve always been a loser haha) and a few random cuts on my finger and forearm and elbow, I don’t even remember how they got there :D

Hermione Granger: What is your favorite book, how many times have you read it, and why do you love it? I mean it’s a boring answer but the Harry Potter series x) I’m not a reader, I don’t have much to choose from, so naturally HP is the most meaningful to me :) I’ve only read it twice (I read it in 2015 for the first time), and honestly it kind of changed my life? It inspired me to learn to write and to draw and to be creative, it led me to meeting new people (like my best friend) and learning a lot about myself and about the world.. I’ve changed so much since reading the books :)

Ron Weasley: Something you're afraid of? (Heads up it’s gonna be dark) Shame, failure, poverty, pain, losing my mind, and dying, or rather having my family suffer, because I don’t care about dying but I cannot stand the idea of my family grieving.

Aunt Petunia: What is your favorite flower? (already answered and copy pasted) White tulips :) I remember sitting in my grandmother’s backyard as a kid, I just sat there enjoying the weather, and I looked at the white tulips growing nearby and I stared at them forever, loving them so much, and I said to myself, “this is the most beautiful flower in the world.” It still is :)

Draco Malfoy: Is it better to be feared or to be loved? (already answered and copy pasted) Oh easy :) I cannot even stand the idea of somebody being afraid of me.

Voldemort: If you were to create a Horcrux(s), what would it be and why? I actually don’t know... I would want it to be meaningful, like Voldemort did, but I don’t really think I have anything like that. Well I mean I do have a gemstone amulet, so maybe that, but I can’t think of anything else besides it.

Answered right above!

Harry Potter: Tell us about a scar on your body. (already answered and copy pasted) I don’t have anything interesting with a cool story, I just have a few boring leftover chicken pox scars, an iron burn scar (lol), a little scar at the bottom of my chin from tripping on the sidewalk on my first day to kindergarten (i’ve always been a loser haha) and a few random cuts on my finger and forearm and elbow, I don’t even remember how they got there :D

Rubeus Hagrid: What is your favorite mystical creature? I actually don’t think I have one! :) Probably because, when it comes to fiction, I prefer realistic over fantasy :) I want to say werewolf but really I just care about Remus only :D

Professor Sprout: What is your favourite class that is offered at Hogwarts? I think Arithmancy is really cool, I’m into maths and Numerology and Astrology and things like that, so Arithmancy would be my jam :D I also like Charms! :)

Aunt Petunia: What is your favorite flower? (already answered and copy pasted) White tulips :) I remember sitting in my grandmother’s backyard as a kid, I just sat there enjoying the weather, and I looked at the white tulips growing nearby and I stared at them forever, loving them so much, and I said to myself, “this is the most beautiful flower in the world.” It still is :) 

Lucius Malfoy: What is your most prized possession? If we’re talking about material possessions, then probably my photo albums I made from the time I lived in Thailand and from different trips I’ve taken so far :) There’s one huge section with photos from my trip to Harry Potter Universal Studios in Orlando, it was literally the best time of my life :D so I really care about never losing that album and those memories!

Voldemort: If you were to create a Horcrux(s), what would it be and why?  (already answered and copy pasted) I actually don’t know... I would want it to be meaningful, like Voldemort did, but I don’t really think I have anything like that. Well I mean I do have a gemstone amulet, so maybe that, but I can’t think of anything else besides it.

It was something I was afraid to even dream of, but it happened, and it makes me feel both very proud of myself and very fortunate :)

Both of them answered right above! <3

Ginny Weasley: Have you ever been in love with an unexpected person? All the people I’ve ever had a crush on or loved were unexpected :) I wouldn’t like that person from the first impression (I would literally treat them cold because I simply disliked them this much lol), but then I would fall in love once I get to know them and get comfortable with them.

Peter Pettigrew: Are you a leader or a follower? Tough one because it’s something I cannot answer to myself x) I do often have an urge to lead, normally when I feel very strongly about what I think should be done, but I think I’m more valuable as a follower, I’m good at listening to others and doing my best to complete my tasks :)

Argus Filch: What's the worst job you've ever had? I’ve only had three jobs in my life, and all of them were pretty okay, especially the recent ones, so I don’t have an answer! :)

Nymphadora Tonks: If you could change one thing about your appearance what would it be? I’ve grown to love myself and all the little things I used to dislike, but one thing I’m still annoyed about is that I think my body is a little disproportionate, by that I mean my feet, hands/fingers, and my head are a little bit small in comparison to how tall I am :D And I’m not making it up, I’ve had other people tell that to me too :D I’m not exactly chubby, just generally a big woman hahah but my feet, hands, and head look kinda small for a body like this :D It’s not a big deal or anything, even kinda funny when saying it aloud, but if I could change it (preferrably become shorter/smaller) with a snap of my skinny ass fingers, I probably would :D

Lavender Brown: Who is the last person who texted and have you ever had a crush on them? That’d be my best friend, my bae Shelby ( @shewhomustnotbenamed ), but no, haven’t had a crush on her! But also like, I love her she’s my wife my bae I’m gay for her will u bear my children shelby????????? .....so... :D #bffgoals

Aw thank you so much, glad to be back! :)

Cedric Diggory: Have you ever had a near death experience? I did get very sick as a kid and stayed in the hospital for a long time, but I don’t think it counts as a near death experience :)

Severus Snape: Are you a trustworthy person? (already answered and copy pasted) Yes, I genuinely think I am :)

Arthur Weasley: What do you think is the best "muggle" invention? (already answered and copy pasted) Printing press :) Everything we value today started with that.

Dolores Umbridge: Make a list of rules that your family (or whoever you choose) would have to follow if you made the rules. I would love it to be the rule for my boyfriend to make sure we never run out of ice cream and roasted seaweed. That’s all that’s important to me :D

Harry Potter: Tell us about a scar on your body. (already answered and copy pasted) I don’t have anything interesting with a cool story, I just have a few boring leftover chicken pox scars, an iron burn scar (lol), a little scar at the bottom of my chin from tripping on the sidewalk on my first day to kindergarten (i’ve always been a loser haha) and a few random cuts on my finger and forearm and elbow, I don’t even remember how they got there :D

(Cute art btw! <3)

Love you too!

Remus Lupin: If you transform into any one animal or creature, which one would it be? (already answered and copy pasted) Hmm... probably some bird? That’d be lovely :) OR some land animal that’s relatively small, pretty fast, strong when they have to be, good at camouflage and hiding... So what fits this criteria? A badger? :D Is this the ultimate confirmation of my Hufflepuff identity? :D It better be!
