[theonceandfuturequeenoftarts]

It happens while he’s having a long-overdue visit with Ginny. After a night of good food and alcohol and catching up, she digs her fingers right into the bruise that is his loneliness.

“So, seeing anyone?”

The short answer is no. The long answer is, frankly, depressing. 

It’s a no, but not for lack of recent effort. He retired from professional football nearly five years ago, and he hasn’t had any luck finding a partner despite going on several dates. He’s tried to meet people; his friends keep subtly (and then not-at-all subtly) pushing him in the direction of single acquaintances or friends-of-friends, but he’s been out of the game long enough that it all feels foreign to him. He hasn’t felt a spark or connection with anyone. And if one more person mentions Tinder or Grindr to him, he might stuff his phone down their throat.

Hell, his last real relationship was… Ginny. Christ, that was almost twenty years ago. No wonder his friends think he needs to be set up. But after he and Gin broke up, he was so focused on playing better, keeping his team in the Premier League, or playing in Euro Cups or World Cups. The long hours spent training and playing and travelling didn’t exactly allow for much time to meet people or date, and a lot of the people he’d meet through club events or at the bars and parties his teammates frequented weren’t exactly looking for a committed relationship. From a couple disastrous attempts, he's well aware he doesn’t do well with one-night stands.

By the time his retirement loomed, he was more excited to spend time with his friends and family – to watch his honorary nieces and nephews grow up. He’d done his best to maintain those relationships when he could, and now he’s going to enjoy the results of that effort. 

But he’s always wanted a partner – a love like he’d heard his parents had. He’s sure there’s someone out there for him; he just wishes they’d stop hiding.

“I’m going to take that as a no,” Ginny says after an embarrassingly long pause. “Oh no, don’t get all mopey on me–”

“I’m not mopey,” Harry grumbles into his beer. Ginny gives him a look. “I’m not! I just. Maybe I’m a bit frustrated. Trying to find someone is exhausting. And demoralising.”

“If you can’t find someone, what chance do mere mortals have?” she teases.

“Oh, ha ha,” he snarks. “I know you’re taking the piss, but… I think that might actually be part of the problem? Most of them want Harry Potter, but I’m just Harry. Once you take away the sports stuff, I’m really quite boring.”

“Harry.”

“What?”

“You are not, and could never be, boring. You, my friend, are a chaos magnet. Even now that you’re not one of the highest paid football players, or on the cover of Sports Illustrated, or modelling underwear, or whatever ridiculous thing, you are plenty interesting on your own.”

“Gin,” he says, feeling a bit choked up.

“There, there.” She pats his hand before leaning back in her chair, lost in thought. “So, dating isn’t working…”

“To put it lightly.”

Ginny gives him a considering look. “Have you ever thought of finding a sugar baby?”

“A wh–” He chokes on his spit and coughs. “Sugar baby?! I’m not some creepy old letch, Gin!”

She waves off his pearl-clutching. “No, but you are rich and desperate.”

“Oi!”

“Oh, hush. Why not give it a shot? One of my rugby mates used this matchmaking service and had great luck.”

“I’m not paying someone to have sex with me,” he says flatly.

“Then don’t. Pay someone to keep your lonely arse company.”

He sighs, running a hand through his unruly hair and wincing when it snags on a knot. “That just seems so pathetic…”

“Harry,” Ginny says, looking him in the eye. “You have money you don’t need, and want someone to care about. There are many people out there who would love to have that money and someone to care about them.”

And that’s a little more enticing.

“But, since I know you, I will add: Do not try to be a hero. It should be mutually beneficial,” she stresses sternly.

“You say that like I’m going to do this, but I haven’t agreed–”

“We’re going to create a profile right now.”

“Ginnyyyyyyy,” he groans. “Noooooo–”

“None of that,” she says, grabbing his laptop. “You need to build up some relationship confidence, and since the old-fashioned way isn’t working, you’re going to give this a shot.”

He finishes his drink and goes to flop on the sofa in protest.

After a fair bit of typing, Ginny calls from across the room, “Ay, Harry – birds or blokes?”

He lifts his face from where it’s wedged into a pillow enough to shout back a bleary “Both!”

Foggy memories flicker in and out of them shouting questions and answers back and forth, with Ginny eventually migrating to the sofa and asking him to look at photos.

The next morning, Harry wakes up with a nasty hangover and a message on the sugar baby matchmaking app saying he has a date that weekend.

What.

The Harry Potter Expert by a (currently) anonymous writer!

Our second work of the week is here, giving us some soft sapphic fun! This week's author is Anonymous for now as this fic has been submitted to two fests!

Summary: Romilda Vane had always been obsessed with Harry Potter.

What's to love: Charmingly questionable (or questionably charming?) Harry Potter fan club behavior from the one and only Romilda Vane! Light stalking, frenemies with Ginny, and finding comfort in unexpected places. Romilda is on a journey of discovery, and she'll find that Harry might not be the most important one, after all!

[stabbyapologist]

What would you smell while brewing Amortentia?

I'd smell fresh-brewed coffee, treated wood from a lumber factory, the inside of a new or old book, and leather. :D

[greenerteacups]

Hi, Gt! 🍵 Curious: what character's POV in Lionheart universe you'd enjoy writing the most in regards of showing an outside perpective of Draco/Hermione? Or imagining, that is. And also! What character would be your favorite to write besides D and H in terms of explaining their inner thoughs/actions? 🪻🌺

I always thought it'd be fun to do a "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" ripoff with Lavender, Parvati, and Romilda, where the through line is a gambling ring they've had since third year about when and how Hermione's Friendcest Love Triangle/Five-Year Situationship From Hell is going to resolve. I think that'd be the funniest to write.

As for an actual serious character piece, I would love to do something in Pansy's head. She's so nasty and clever and hypocritical, and I get excited whenever I get to put her in a scene with Theo. Writing the two of them together feels like shining a flashlight down a well and going "hey, you good down there?" and all you hear back is growling.

Of course, the real choice is obviously Narcissa. But I've dabbled with her already, and without spoilers, we'll have a bit more dabbling before we're through.

[pookha]

Operation Panville

The Hogwarts Beauty Club wants to ensure that their member, Pansy, has a romantic date with Neville on Hogsmeade weekend. They run interference for them.

Written for the HPFF discord Masquerade Ball.

The brass plaque titled ‘Hogwarts Beauty Club’ rattled on the door as Lavender closed it behind her. Parvati looked up from where she had been enchanting jewelry. Lavender slipped off her necklace, took out her earrings and placed them on the table next to the others.

“We’re all here now and Hogsmeade weekend is tomorrow. Are we all ready for Operation Panville?” Parvati looked each of them in the eye in turn.

Romilda nodded, as did Padma and Daphne.

Lavender was the last to nod and she added, “I let Neville know about the really romantic glade near Hogsmeade that overlooks the brook that flows into the Black Lake and he said that sounded like a good place to take Pansy. I told him Ron had taken me there one day and we’d snogged the day away.”

Parvati finished her enchantments, and handed the jewelry back to their owners. They all put their pieces back on.

“Testing…” Parvati smiled as her voice faintly echoed from the earrings and the others tested their enchanted jewelry in turn.

The next day, Romilda loitered near the castle doors. Pansy gave Romilda a wink as she left hand in hand with Neville, who talked excitedly about a new plant specimen. Romilda stepped into line next. She’d ‘misplaced’ her slip and Professor Flitwick had to recall it from his office. She smiled as she knew it gave Pansy a good head start.

Further down the path, Padma waited, pretending to have to tie her shoe. She had just seen Pansy and Neville walk by. Pansy blew her a kiss as they went down a side path toward the brook.

Suddenly, Romilda’s voice whispered urgently in her ear.

“Mayday! Red Moon!”

Padma stood just in time to see Ginny and Luna hustling down the path.

“I’m telling you, I saw Neville with Parkinson!” Ginny almost spat. Luna smiled serenely.

“What if you did?” she said, but let herself be dragged along.

“She betrayed Harry; she might be doing the same to Neville.” Ginny sounded frantic.

“But he told me that he liked her and she was different now.” Luna saw Padma and waved.

“I saw them. They were heading toward Madame Puddifoot’s.” Padma pointed toward Hogsmeade.

“What were they doing?” Ginny asked.

“Well, Neville was talking about Mandrakes and Pansy was stroking his arm as they walked. They looked happy.” Padma smiled.

“I don’t trust her,” Ginny groused and pulled Luna after her again toward Hogsmeade.

Daphne and Lavender were sitting on a blanket in the glade, but on the far side. A fifth-year couple was also there and already busy snogging under an umbrella. Daphne watched the path and Lavender watched the other couple. When Daphne nudged her, Lavender released her jar of gnats with a whispered instruction. The swarm flew toward the fifth-years and soon they packed up and left. When she turned back, she saw that Neville and Pansy had set up close to the overlook of the brook. She poured tea for Daphne, who drank it, but kept one eye on Neville and Pansy, while Lavender watched the path.

“There’s a lull in the conversation, but it looks like Pansy’s taking the lead to restart it,” Daphne whispered in Lavender’s ear, who shivered at her breath.

“Good.” Lavender whispered back and felt gratified when Daphne’s neck goose-pimpled.

“Oh, she just pulled the ‘I’m cold’ and he tried to give her his jacket, but she used the ‘just open it’ and snuggled up to his chest inside it.” Daphne reported. This time her lip brushed Lavender’s ear and Lav knew it had to be deliberate.

“Shit.” Lavender whispered back and Daphne turned to see what Lavender had seen.

Ron, Harry and Hermione started to come into the glade, the two men were in their Silver Auror uniforms. Lavender stood and rushed over to them.

“What do you want?” she whispered to Harry, who tried to push by her. Daphne blocked him.

“We heard that Neville was in danger.” Harry said.

“Heard it from Ginny most likely.” Lavender sighed and Hermione blushed.

“No, it was me,” Hermione said.

“Neville is fine. The Hogwarts Beauty Club is watching out for him and supporting our member, Pansy. They’re doing fine and if they’re dating, that’s none of your business.” Daphne pushed Ron. He started to pull his wand, but Harry put a hand on his arm.

“Look,” Harry said and pointed.

They all turned and followed his gaze.

Pansy straddled Neville’s lap, facing him. Their heads and hands moved both over and under their robes. Pansy whispered something to Neville, who broke the embrace and turned toward them. He lifted a hand and waved them away like shooing a fly.

“Yeah, he’s okay,” Harry laughed.

“Neville can handle himself. You three weren’t here to see how different he is now.” Daphne’s voice was frigid. Lavender took her hand. Daphne squeezed it almost painfully.

“I’m sorry,” Hermione said and blushed even deeper.

“Right, as long as I’m here and you’re here, want to grab a bite?” Ron grabbed Hermione’s hand and she nodded. They Disapparated.

“I’m off to find Ginny. I’ve got a few hours to spare.” He hugged Lavender, who returned it stiffly, surprised at first.

“She’s in Hogsmeade; we misdirected her. Please don’t let her interfere; they’ve faced so much hate from both the Gryffindors and the Slytherins already and we’re trying to calm it down.” Lavender patted Harry on the arm awkwardly.

Harry jutted his chin at the couple, who were now laying under the blanket, which moved sinuously.

He walked away, whistling to himself. Daphne and Lavender went back to their blanket and soon they were under it also. They lost track of what Neville and Pansy were up to, but Lavender hoped it was as nice as what she and Daphne were doing.

[seriouslysam8]

Why do you feel like Harry is so unliked? I thought it showed in OotP how much everyone looked up to him. The way everyone looked up to him for guidance as a leader, showed how likeable he was. Ya some people thought he was attention seekers but not all of them. Lots of people looked up to Harry and liked him. I don’t think he’s as unpopular as you think he is. I think a lot of people saw a different side of him in OotP and I don’t think only certain people got to see the nice side to him. The kid wasn’t rude to you unless you deserved it. He strikes me as polite and kind unless you hurt or insult someone he cares about. I do think Harry was more popular than Ron and although Ron is hilarious he didn’t really have very many friends either. The reason Harry didn’t hang out with Dean and Seamus in GoF was because Ron was with them first, plus Seamus was always a little jealous over Harry so I wouldn’t be surprised if that was something Ron and him bonded over during that time.

Because he really wasn’t.

He was ostracized in second year, fourth year, AND fifth year. People thought the worst of him for three entire years. Not just over small stuff. They legit thought he was petrifying students, cheated to enter a tournament for attention, and that he was a big fat liar. Each time, very few people actually believed Harry. Why? Because nobody really knew him.

I bet, though never stated, quite a few people were just exasperated with Harry in POA because now they had Dementors and Sirius Black breaking into the castle with a knife. Any normal person would be annoyed and bitter that they had to fear for their life because of Harry. Because it’s always something with Harry!

So if he’s on the outs with pretty much the entire school 3/6 years (potentially 4/6 years if you count POA though there’s no solid evidence), how did he become popular? Respecting him in the DA doesn’t mean he’s popular. Believing him in HBP and thinking he really is the chosen one doesn’t mean he’d popular.

And I don’t think it was a case in GOF that Ron got to Dean and Seamus first. I think Ron is more social and likable than Harry in initial meetings. I don’t even recall Harry trying to make new friends in GOF. He just stuck to Hermione. But, you know, I don’t blame him when everyone is wearing Potter stinks badges and calling him a cheat and an attention seeker. Yeah, that screams Mr Popularity.

Seamus thought Harry was a liar in OOTP. He wasn’t a close friend of Harry’s. If he was, he never would have jumped on the “Harry is a liar” bandwagon. Furthermore, he LIVES with Harry. He would have saw a very traumatized Harry in a more intimate way than others after the final task. Yet, he still believed Harry was a liar.

While people may have come to respect Harry in OOTP through the DA, it’s not like everyone was going out of their way to talk to him. He still stuck to Ron and Hermione. It wasn’t until HBP that we saw people taking an interest in Harry (mostly girls) because he was dubbed the chosen one. Romilda Vane didn’t like Harry for Harry. She liked him because he was dubbed as special again. As a bulk of other girls did. Plus, I think, Harry has blossomed from 15 to 16 to being taller and coming into his own. So girls probably legit thought he was cute too.

Harry wasn’t popular with the girls before. He struggled hardcore to get a date to the Yule Ball. It wasn’t like girls were flirting with him and trying to get an invite. He legit asked Parvati, someone he wasn’t close with but knew him enough to know he wasn’t a jerk. But I’m sure after that an abysmal date, she had a slight change of opinion. Parvati and Lavender were gossips. You know that got around the school.

Everyone and their Muggle cousin knew Ron was pissy at the Yule Ball because of Hermione and Krum. While it doesn’t excuse his behavior, it doesn’t linger like a cloud over him either after Lavender sucked his face off in HBP. Meanwhile, Harry had no reason to be a grump. He was a grump to be a grump.

When Ron and Hermione were prefects, Harry had no idea where to sit on the train in OOTP. He chose to sit with Ginny, Neville, and Luna. He probably chose it because of Ginny because he knows Ginny better than the others. It’s no secret that Harry loves all things Weasley. Harry hates sitting there with Neville and Luna. If Harry was friends with Neville, he wouldn’t have been so embarrassed to sit with him when Cho came around. (Though his opinions of Luna and Neville do change after the DOM debacle and he probably considered them friends).

So, if Harry wasn’t close with Neville or Seamus by OOTP (people in his own dorm), what makes you think he was popular in general? He wasn’t even popular amongst the boys in his own year. Furthermore, we can assume even in HBP that Seamus AND Dean weren’t close to Harry or really his friends because they made fun of him enough for falling off his broom that Ginny laid into them. I don’t think Ginny would have laid into them if they were Harry’s friends and taking the mickey.

So maybe you could say that Harry was “popular” in first year. Maybe he did talk to more people than we saw. But nobody stuck by his side in COS besides Romione, the Weasleys, and possibly the Quidditch team since they’d know him better than most. I can’t remember if the Quidditch team was salty against him or not. But if you believe your friend is petrifying students, well, they weren’t really your friend to begin with.

I think if anything, you could say Harry was popular in the sense that everyone knew his name, who he was, and things that he did. I do not think you can claim he was traditionally socially popular. He stuck with the same friends. You never really saw him interacting with very many people outside of Romione, the Weasleys, and the Quidditch team.

Harry is never surrounded by a bunch of people like Cho and Ginny who are described as popular. I look it as who are Harry’s friends and how does he interact with his peers to determine if he was popular. And, well, that’s lacking. Harry doesn’t have a lot of friends and he doesn’t interact with a ton of people all the time. The closest he came to that was the DA but, again, respect does not equal popularity.

That’s okay! I personally like that Harry wasn’t popular. I think it makes him more relatable and human. Given his childhood, it makes more sense that he has a tight-knit group of friends he trusts more than anyone else. I don’t think Harry would want a big group of friends. He likes the intimacy of a small group, knowing they are tight and he can count on them.

For @hinnyfest, prompt #7 - Getting caught in the act.

Surprisingly rated T. Set during HBP.

***

you know

The whispers finally reached them by dinner time. Considering how his newfound relationship status had been the subject of many debates for the past ten days, Harry was surprised it took all day for the gossip to spread through the castle back to where it had started.

A Second Year girl was stealing glances at them. “His brother caught them—”

“Did he fight for her honour?” Her friend asked, eyes widened. “If my brother saw me like that—”

“No, they are friends… But Romilda said he was pissed.”

“What exactly Romilda said?” Asked another, with his face burning red. “Have they really…?”

“She heard from Lavender who heard from Seamus who saw them talking about it,” said the first girl solemnly. “And what her brother said was that he didn’t want to catch them sleeping together again.”

Harry let out a dismayed sigh. Across the table, keeping a distance from him that looked too proper for everyone and too large for Harry’s taste, Ginny threw him a consoling smile.

“They will be talking about something else tomorrow,” she promised him. “Merlin knows there is enough gossip to entertain them.”

“More than the fact we are supposedly sleeping together?”

“Well.” Her cheeks pinkened as she lowered her head, suddenly busy with her book again. “We did sleep together.”

“Not as how they are making it sound. I will have a word with Seamus about spreading this kind of gossip.”

“Hum.” She didn’t elaborate. There was a small frown on her forehead that made him lean closer on the table, his hand reaching for hers.

“What?”

“I just—you look more nervous about this gossip than all the others. I don’t know—if this is really about my honour or something like this—”

“No, it’s—” His face reddened. Harry wished they weren’t at the Common Room to discuss this, but he also knew he wouldn’t get to take Ginny to any secluded corner that night with all those prying eyes. “It’s also my honour—I don’t want people thinking we were—you know—here.”

He gestured around the Common Room, still filling with people coming back from dinner.

Ginny leaned closer as well, her face a mask. “So the problem is with ‘you know’, or ‘here’?”

“Here,” he said truthfully.

“So if people were assuming you took me to the lake to steal away my precious flower—”

“What? No, I mean—that would also be a problem—I don’t want people talking about us, you know, anywhere!”

She let out a laugh suddenly. “You are too cute when you get flustered, Harry,” she said, moving her chair closer to him and clearly forgetting all about the distance they had cultivated that day. “Don’t worry—Ron knows we just fell asleep on the couch, he won’t spill any gossip to my family.”

“That’s a relief,” he mumbled, still recalling the way Mrs. Weasley had once treated Hermione; if anyone would think he was taking advantage of Ginny... “All this talk and it’s not even true—”

“And did you wish it were?” She asked innocently.

Harry frowned, confused. “What?”

“A true gossip for once. That you and I, you know—”

She was just teasing him, he knew, but still, his cheek burned bright, his mind always easily compelled to imagine any scenario that involved Ginny, and even more, you know.

“Well,” he said slowly, caressing her hand. “What I do wish is that Ron wouldn't catch us then.”

Wandless

Wandless https://ift.tt/5k6tXdv by JCAndrijeski Born with a form of magic unseen in centuries in the wizarding world, Draco Malfoy's very existence is illegal according to ancient wizard law. That same law says he should have been killed at birth, but Lucius had other ideas on how to use and train his son. Hermione Granger always thought Malfoy didn't quite add up, in terms of who he seemed to be, or who he wanted everyone to think he was, at least. She's heard the rumors about him, of course, about how he supposedly suffered from some rare illness as a child and was never seen until he appeared at Hogwarts as a first year. By sixth year, the contradictions strike her as even more obvious, but her best friends only see him as a possible death eater, one likely infiltrating the school on some dark mission from Voldemort or his father. Note #1: There's some overlap with the original storyline in the beginning / during 6th year, but there's pretty big divergences planned, particularly post-Hogwarts Note #2: I'll update tags as I go.

[ellorypurebloodculture]

Hi Ellory! I absolutely love your writing. I am wondering if you have any recommendations for similar stories or writers that you've enjoyed? Much love!

Hi Anon! Thank you very much!

Lokne has a James/Narcissa and a Neville/Female Harry that I like, as well as a few other pureblood-esque stories.

Summary: Romilda Vane was as cunning as any Slytherin and when she decided she wanted something, she got it. What she didn’t factor into her scheme to gain the love of the Chosen One was that he might just be as much of a Slytherin as she was.

Summary: A series of one shots following the Deathblood twins Lily Eileen Prince and Severus Sebastian Prince as they navigate their twin bond and Wixen Britain.

Summary: In the Pureblood Magical society of Avalon, the creations of Jewel-Artisans become storied love-tokens, birth courtships and romances, and perhaps even put mysteries into action.

Summary: Miss Hermione Granger has plotted and planned her life and her courting schedule out for the next four years. Unfortunately, Mr. Ronald Weasley's ridiculous infatuation with Miss Lavender Brown is forcing her hand. He isn't going to know what hit him. After all, Hermione believes in taking charge of one's own Fate and the Sorting Hat put her in Gryffindor for a reason.

[saintsenara]

hi! if you're doing ship opinions still - could you please do parvati/lavender and/or ginny/pansy?

thank you so much for the ask, anon! lovely choices!

lavender brown/parvati patil

i mean... it's canon, isn't it. i just think there's something so beautiful about these lovely lasses, giggling and being undeniable hotties and jointly fancying a horse. i love that parvati canonically doesn't have a date for the yule ball for far longer than a woman of her calibre should have [because she was raging lavender was going with seamus, change my mind], which allows her to finesse going with harry but also allows her to ditch him as soon as humanly possible without having to risk a midnight kiss. i love that parvati is demonstrably unimpressed when lavender starts going out with ron, because she knows her bestie can do better, with her.

and - of course - i love both the inherent tragedy of their relationship being cut short before it's ever really begun by lavender dying of her wounds in the battle of hogwarts and the inherent beauty of them building a life together across the course of a long and healing post-war love if lavender survives. lovely.

pansy parkinson/ginny weasley

pansy's canonically into it - she's clocked ginny's great rack, and she's right to give it a shoutout to the slytherin boys [full respect for draco "i'm not in the closet" malfoy not having a clue what all the fuss is about] in half-blood prince.

ginny, i think, would regard pansy much as she clearly does romilda vane: annoying and worth messing with for fun. so it's not giving long-term relationship, but it is giving ginny fantastic - albeit cruel - stories to regale her pals with at brunch.

[elisedonut]

can you rec me some f/f fics in the hp fandom idc what ship or rating or whatever i am DYING WHY ARE THERE SO FEW WLW FICS :,)

im going to be real with you anon as much as I do like thinking of f/f and write it occasionally I don't actually read fics much at all

typically when i really want a wlw story I actually jump to anime/manga, VN's or webcomics dsjfasdl

like I've fallen head over for Lavender yeah but unlike Percy where when i first jumped in i would read anything in sight and only in the last few months have grown picky on how he's portrayed

with Lavender i was picky from the very start and my thoughts on her don't seem to line up well with what i have seen from others fsadjfljsd so i think about her far more then i actually seek out fics involving her

Thats not to say i don't have any but just a warning ig

most are short and most are from the rare pair servers flash comps

Also secondary warning make sure to check tags and such

Marietta Edgecombe/Pansy Parkinson

Though I will say something that's worked for me in the past when fic hunting when you don't have a specific ship you want is

Going to a character tag you like (or you know just the fandom page itself i normally do this to have less to look at so i tend to do characters i want to read)

filtering out everything except the couple type you want (so in this case everything but F/F though if you don't want gen fic make sure to click F/F in include as well)

and then excluding every popular character

(this is to get to the really fun rare stuff as well as cut out a lot of the people who are annoying and over tag characters

it makes it more likely to pull up fic actually related to the character you want but its a double edged sword since if you do like those popular characters they wont appear)

But overall it really cuts down the list fast and makes the search easier

then you can just add more or exclude more like normal

Like I just did this with Luna

cutting down a selection of 8k where most of the first page didn't even seem to be f/f focused to around 400 with all of the first page being what I was looking for and after sorting by length I got these three at the top

Metamorphosis by WantsUnicorns

Millicent Bulstrode/Luna Lovegood

The weight of surviving by vendettadays 

Cho Chang/Luna Lovegood

(make sure to check the tags before reading) give my name to the abyss by evawrites 

Bellatrix Black Lestrange/Luna Lovegood

I haven't read them so I can't vouch for quality but i think its a good example of stuff you can find

its one of the ways I used to hunt for Percy fics

you do have to tweak what character you use as your meat shields depending on who you've looking for and you'll always miss things but I just think that means you have more to discover later

The most evil wizard of all time

For @Hinnyfest, prompt #12: Valentine's Day

Her shadow vanished, leaving behind a thread of coppery sparkles. It was the third time so far that morning that Harry had witnessed a similar scene. He had first tried to say hello to Ginny over Valentine's Day breakfast. but before he could even say her name, she had vanished with a half-formed excuse about books and plants, and something else which Harry made no effort to listen for fear it would rhyme with Dean and Madame Puddifoot.

Only now Hermione was informing him that Parvati had overheard Romilda Vane in the bathroom telling to her friends about a fight between Ginny and Dean that had happened that same day immediately after Harry's second attempt to greet her on the stairs. Now without the nerves of having to hear the words tea room and cupid from her lips, Harry had to fight the urge to run after her. A urge he needed to control because Ron was walking right at his side, using him as a shield against Lavender, and because his best friend couldn't suspect at any cost about that dream he had had the night before about his little and innocent and not so little nor innocent sister.

Avoiding him after that dream would have been the sensible thing to do, but the alternative to serving as some kind of invisibility cloak for Ron was to sit next to Hermione in the library and endure her questioning him because he was suddenly interested in the rumors Parvati was starting. He didn't mind them in the least, they were just a distraction to avoid doing his Defense Against the Dark and Arts essay. After all, what better way was there to pass the time than to calculate how long it took an average woman to get over her ex and be ready to date someone new. Harry was by no means a relationship expert, but thirty minutes was more than enough for him.

But Ginny kept running terrified at each crossing in the corridors. His brown eyes drifted to the floor ignoring his questions. The real rudeness didn't happen until the afternoon, though, where after two minuscule exchanges about  the upcoming Quidditch practice, Ginny suddenly turned right out the door, leaving him standing in the middle of the Gryffindor common room with a joke cut in half. and a punchline unsaid  that  he had spent hours and hours  thinking about.

- ‘’Is something happening between you two ? ‘’-Ron asked him.

- ‘’Something?’’- Harry said sweaty- ‘’Something like what?’’

-"She seems angry"- Ron said.

-"I'm sure this has nothing to do with you, Harry, but with his fight with Dean."- Hermione turned her back on Ron, still ignoring him after his very public Valentine's Day display of affection with Lavender- "It's better to give her space, she must be very distressed."

But anguished, what is said anguished, was not a word he would you use to describe her. Although Harry was not so familiar with the world of emotions he could still distinguish laughter from tears, and her smile brighter than ever under the candles that lit the large dining room table, was not something someone could fake. A glowing aura surrounding her, while retelling Neville a story of the twins' early prototypes of the puking pastilles. Harry sat in front of her and as if she suddenly saw something worse than the Grim, her face darkened making her stumble with those last words.

"...in front of Bill's date" -Ginny muttered turning pale.

-"Are you okay?" -Neville asked.

"Yes"- Ginny hurried on -"but I forgot my essay at the… at the…

"What essay?" - Ron sat next to Harry and grabbed a piece of Turkey - "You were hiding all day playing with Arnold’’

-‘’Ginny!’’- Hermione reproached her taking the seat that Neville leave – ‘’You are supposed to study for your OWLS!’’

-‘’It's just that...’’- Ginny tried to say

-‘’Ron-Ron’’- Lavander arrived- ‘’Ron-Ron I have one last gift for you!’’

"I better go"- Hermione stood up.

-‘’It's a poem’’- ​​Lavender ignored her- ‘’Not as good as yours in first grade Ginny but..’’

-‘’Oh Merlin! I want to die!’’- Ginny let her head collapse on the table splashing a little food- ‘’It was obvious that it was going to happen, first Dean now her, why do they have to remind me?’’

"Gin…"- Harry said- "Are you okay?"

"Shh"- Ginny said- "Just give me two more minutes."

Her arms wrapped around her hair majestically strewn on the table mixed with potato scraps as she mumbled something Harry  couldn't understand.

"Ginny"- Harry said starting to worry.

-‘’I'm fine’’- Ginny straightened up taking a deep breath- ‘’I'm fine, I'm over it. Are we over it Harry? Are we over thar poem?’’

-‘’The poem I received on second year? The one that cupid sang?’’ - Harry said incredulously and at the same time immensely happy to hear her voice again.

"Yeah, how many poems do you receive in your life?" -Ginny rolled her eyes. Though Harry hoped it was due to the second part of the Valentine's show Ron and Lavender were starting and not because of his question. The truth was that several letters reached him at this time of year, more so now that he was label as the chosen one, something that Ginny seemed to notice as well at that very moment.

-‘'But the one you sent is my all-time favorite’’- said Harry aware of his experience with Cho last year.

-‘’I didn't send it’’- Ginny said in a red blush- ‘’Do you see now why I didn't want to talk to you today? It was obvious that everything was going to return to that damned poem. Every Valentine's Day it’s the same and someone has to remind me, and with someone I mean EVERYONE, about that childish and stupid poem. And on top of that I have to see you later at the face and pretend that I …oh I want to die.’’

"That's why you avoided me?’’- Harry couldn't help but laugh earning himself a murderous look. ‘’ I don’t even remember what it said, something about my eyes being green and the toads and the blackboard and…’’

-‘’I was possessed!’’- Ginny said – ‘’Uff, I can't believe they remind me every year of this and if it wasn’t enough I  have to see your green eyes right now to remind me more and more about….about toads’’

-‘’Hey, wait’’- Harry said suddenly remembering something- ‘’I had the diary on Valentine's Day, Tom coudnt send it’’

- ‘’Tom wrote it when he still had it!’’- Ginny said almost drifting the pudding- ‘’He wrote it!’’

- ‘’Gin, are you telling me that Voldemort wrote me a poem comparing my eyes to those of a toad and made everyone believe that a sweet girl had written it instead? It makes no sense’’

"Wake up, Harry!" -Ginny said snapping her fingers- "You don't realize he's the most evil wizard of all time! What have you been doing all these years? Don't you pay attention?’’

"Yes, yes," Harry said resisting a smile. "Poor Ginny making you write a poem for me, the meanest thing he's done so far, by far."

-‘’Exactly’’- Ginny said taking a deep breath- ‘’I'm glad we talked about it once and for all’’

"Making you knock the vase off the table that time you saw me go into the kitchen after playing Quidditch, making you stick your elbow in the butter…" Harry took a sip of pumpkin juice- "Making you blush every time you spoke to me, all of that was his work and everyone here thinking it was something else’’

"I have no idea what you're talking about" -Ginny imitated Harry and brought the glass to her lips.

"No, no"- Harry said- "me neither, we're over it, I think we're over the poem."

"Okay" -Ginny said.

-‘’Also the singing Get well card’’- added Harry with a big smile

"I hate you" -Ginny said.

"The time you fell down the stairs because I saw you in pink kitty pajamas…" -Harry continued to remember with an affection he hadn't known until now.

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore" -Ginny said, looking like she was fighting not to smile back.

"The collection of letters written to the boy who lived asking him his favorite color"-Harry said.

"Who told you about that?" -Ginny said leaning over the table- "Was it George?" Sure it was George

-‘’Do you know Ginny? I feel a little offended that you never asked me my favorite color in person." -Harry shook his head- "What about the other questions? All these years and you never took the opportunity to ask if I liked yellow iguanas or not, a waste of friendship if you want my opinion’’

- ‘’Harry, if you don't shut up, I swear I'm going to….’’- start Ginny

-‘’If you sent them by owl like the rest of my fans, I could even consider answering them-‘’ Harry said with the most serious face he got- ‘’But it has a price...’’

-‘’Ginny I've been looking for you all day’’- Dean came running to the table- ‘’Can we talk, please? I want to apologize for...

"Dean…" -Ginny said.

-‘’Harry, can you let me sit here?’’ – Dean asked Harry and hating himself Harry nodded feeling how the monster in his chest clawed at his chest. He didn't deserve to be in Gryffindor, he was a coward. So close to the summit and yet so far.

---------------------------------------------------------------

The next day at breakfast time Hedwig entered the sea of ​​gray and red owls with a parchmet attached to her leg.

To the boy who lived

I wanted to thank you for fighting for all of us and saving us from the evil ones who force us to act shamefully. I also wanted to ask you which is your favorite color for iguanas? Do you like yellow ones?

Cheers,

Ginny

Small Introduction:

Hey there! I have done many iterations of this and honestly I just miss it! I hope you all will take the time to read this over as i spent a lot of time on this and it's not fun when people don't read everything.

Plot:

This does go chronologically through Harry Potter's years at Hogwarts and the struggles he deals with as well as his friends and enemies at school. But not only will we be following Harry Potter but some other characters.

My main character, Catalina Thorne, has gone through quite a lot. Not by any means as much as Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived. But she has dealt with things her classmates and friends could scarcely ever go through. She had to watch her life unfold as a lie and had to lie about the true death of her family. She has to keep a secret of the family safe. The one person she shouldn't trust her secret to is the son of a death eater. But Catalina, the shy sweet innocent girl that she plays, goes and gets a crush on the worst person she can, Draco Malfoy. Can she manage to keep her family secret when her boyfriend's family is one of the darkest wizarding families? Find out!

Rules:

1. Please make sure you know Wizarding World lore and background. I will make a channel for information if anyone has any questions.

2. Sexual activities must happen in a private channel and with the proper procedures. The students can only do this if you are in year 5. Younger years are allowed to do hand holding and kissing and the like.

3. You are allowed to play as many characters as you can control. Just please don't play too many that it's a burden for you.

4. Any ocs are allowed. Just please provide a bio and picture and let it be approved beforehand.

5. Please no fighting for ships. I have set some but if you want to create one, let me know

6. I will need help to make this group as making groups isn't my forte. I'm not great at creating a bots channel. So if you want to help me, please inform me immediately.

7. I would like you all to be semi literate to literate and speak in full sentences. The more details, the better!

8. If you need a refresher course in how to make bots and tulls, let me know. I forgot after a while but once you learn, it's not hard to do!

9. Have fun and make friends!

Lavender/Romilda, which literally just came to mind now XD

Send me a ship and I’ll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it (and also maybe a fic rec).

Now here's an interesting ship. What do we know about Romilda Vane? Not much tbh. She's pretty (she manages to catch Harry's attention for longer than a few seconds), she's scheming (see love potion incident), and she's two years below Lavender.

I haven't thought much about this ship honestly, but I would be interested in seeing it. Maybe after Lavender is jilted by Ron in Sixth Year and Romilda comes and comforts her. If we're going with Dark!Romilda, the love potion angle could be a really fun spin. "Everyone loves Romilda. No one ever questions why."

Would this be a top tier ship for me? Probably not. I still ship Parvender at the end of the day, but it could still be a fun ship to explore. Or maybe a stepping stone to endgame Parvender.

My ship rating: When in Romilda

My fic rec: If You Don't Mind by @le-amewzing [T, 681]

Because if there's one thing Lav can't stand, it's having her image ruined. Oh, and cat fights.
