Cute character questions for Cord, the best Slytherin ever? 💚

Absolutely, thank you Fae for asking about my girl! Tagging @dancingsunflowers-ocs because Ik she loves her too

The Basics

Name: Cordelia “Cord” Grey

Age: 11 through 17 throughout the series

Zodiac Sign: gemini

One Good Trait: she has this innate ability to see the good in others, even if some don’t deserve it

One Bad Trait: she can get pretty indecisive if certain decisions are left up to her

Habits

One Bad Habit: cord tends to take on too much, leaving her with bad time management skills

One Good Habit: she loves to learn, which is why she’s such an avid reader (she and hermione are platonic soulmates on that end)

One Habit They Can’t Break: whenever cord gets anxious, she stress-bakes (everyone secretly loves the free desserts part, but not the anxious cord part)

One They’ve Broken: while she still doesn’t have the best time management skills, she has gotten better at making sure things due at a certain time are done before that due date

Family

Their Parents’ Names: Sonali and William Grey; Andrea (or “Drea” as everyone calls her) is her paternal aunt

Favorite Childhood Memory: her mother comforting her by singing ABBA songs after a particularly hard day at primary school

Favorite Childhood Toy: her first chapter book (it was Alice in Wonderland)

Embarrassing Story: when cord was 5 years old, she got mad when her parents couldn’t take her to the zoo one day and she used accidental magic to turn her stuffed teddy bear into an actual bear. luckily, drea was there and made the bear disappear before cord could actually see it

Favorite Family Member: her aunt drea

A Story About That Family Member: cord lost her parents on her 11th birthday, which was also the day she learned she was a witch and so was her aunt drea. she fell into a depression after that, and drea would do anything to bring back her niece’s smile. so, on july 31st, she took her to diagon alley to get her supplies for hogwarts. it was the first time in a while that drea saw a smile on cord’s face

🐸 + the bestest Slytherin Cord??

THANK YOU FAE FOR ASKING ABOUT MY BB!

1. Something they collect: Ever since Cord was a little girl, she liked to collect seashells whenever she went to the beach. After her parents’ death, collecting seashells was paused because the beach became too painful for her to visit. Cord resumed collecting seashells when Drea took her and Harry to the beach after the mess that was the Department of Mysteries

2. Their sun, moon, and rising star sign: Gemini, Aries, and Leo

3. The first thing they bought with their own money: It’s funny, all of Cord’s friends thought she would get a bunch of books with her own money. They were struck dumb, however, when she instead bought sheet music to write songs on

4. One positive personality trait of theirs: Her ability to see the good in others, even when they least deserve it

5. Their favorite ‘80’s song: Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie

6. If they’re a good or bad cook: Cord is a pretty good cook, which is good because Drea’s strength lies in baking. So, whenever the two of them are having dinner together, Cord will cook the dinner while Drea makes the dessert

7. Their favorite horror movie: The Rocky Horror Picture Show

8. Who would play them in a biopic about their life: Freida Pinto

9. Who would play their older/younger version: Zaynah Vastani for the younger version, Shelley Conn (who also plays her mother) for her older version

10. An event from their High School reunion: So, no High School reunion because this takes place in England and this is boarding school. However, there was a reunion of sorts celebrating the anniversary of Voldemort’s defeat and Hogwarts being rebuilt. A lot of things happened from Tracey announcing she was dating a Japanese witch she met while traveling to Japan to Harry and Cord announcing that they’re planning to move to California to a certain town (*hint hint nudge nudge*)

i need james pulling regulus closer by his belt and then teasing reg because he’s blushing but regulus is stubborn so then he fixes james’ collar and now that gets an undeniable reaction from james, like comically clearing his throat and then someone passes by so they both take a step back and they go on about their day constantly playing that interaction on loop and hoping to run into each other again

Grown men yet to learn what a children’s fantasy novel series is. More at 11

James Potter not being able to hide his bewilderment when he sees that baby Harry has inherited his mother’s green eyes… James Potter skipping around the house, his and Sirius’s voices draining each other as they stand together looking down at the new member of the Potter family sleeping tightly, their eyes shining and mouths running….

James Potter, who never lived long enough to learn that Harry also inherited his mother’s sarcasm, her humour…

Harry James Potter, who inherited Lily’s gaze, that look in his eyes… like he was older than his age… Harry Potter, who inherited Lily’s desperate need to prove herself, Lily’s posture, the way Lily wrote her g’s… Harry, who inherited not only traits from his mother, but also traits from his father.

Harry with his father’s messy hair, Harry who bounces his leg when he’s stressed and ruffles his hair when he’s nervous, unlike his father who ruffled it to impress girls. Harry with a glimpse of his father’s mischievousness in his Lily eyes. Harry who talks in his sleep like his father, Harry with dimples like his father, Harry with poor eyesight like his father.

It’s all a mess of Lily (can’t function properly under stress), James (showers in cold water)… and Harry himself (short temper). Because if it’s something so many people seem to forget about him, which always pisses him off, is that Harry is his own person too.

He loves Treacle Tart, he has his own awkward little laugh, he can’t control his face, he bites his nails when studying, he loves strong smells, and that’s all him. Just… him.

And what Sirius never got to tell him, is that: if people would try to look past the way his parents are still with him in his eyes, behind his smile and in his heart… they would see a wonderful young boy. So much more than what his parents ever made him. Harry raised himself. Harry grew up to be his own.

But Sirius never got to tell him that, just like he never got to tell him that he had Remus’s awkward flush, Sirius’s shit-eating grin, Dorcas’s frustrated resting face, Regulus’s unbothered expression when he was locked into his own little shell… traits that were Mary’s, Marlene’s, James’s, Lily’s, and most importantly Harry’s own.

Sirius never even learnt if these were things Harry would have liked to hear.

I love the idea of Percy be in all up tight and formal all the time bc that's what ppl expect of him and then you see him with Oliver and he's so much more relaxed and happy and full of energy
