For the prompt: “As the wise Scooby Doo said; “Ruh Roh”.” And one of your fave pairings bc I can't think of one

“As the wise Scooby Doo said; “Ruh Roh”.”

This, of all things, made Voldemort pause. Next to Harry, Dumbledore frowned, braced for an attack and confused as to why Voldemort had hesitated.

Harry just flushed red. It wasn’t that he’d forgotten Voldemort could read his mind- they’d had full on conversations using their mental connection before, so it wasn’t exactly unusual- but Voldemort tended to block out Harry when they were in the company of anyone else. With Dumbledore by his side, Harry thought his less sophisticated thoughts would fly under the radar, but apparently he was wrong.

“Sometimes, Harry, I question your sanity.” Rolling his eyes, Voldemort sent a lazy curse towards Dumbledore which was only remarkable in that it was the least flashy spell Harry had ever seen Voldemort cast.

“You’re not really one to talk,” Harry pointed out as Dumbledore retaliated with a blizzard of fire that Voldemort managed to remain untouched by. “Torture, cults, and terrorism aren’t usually hallmarks of sane people.”

“Oh, don’t be simple, Harry. If you think that’s all I stand for you’re not paying attention.”

Harry was about to retort, rehashing an argument they’d been having for around a year, when Dumbledore grasped his shoulder and pulled him backwards, away from Voldemort, and towards the edge of the anti-apparition wards Voldemort had activated moments before.

Harry felt Voldemort’s rage before he saw the narrowing of his eyes, the clench and twist of his hands. Birds, vicious silver crows, burst from Voldemort’s palms and threw themselves at Dumbledore, pecking and dodging the defensive shields Dumbledore conjured. None of the birds so much as glanced at Harry.

Something about the way Voldemort stared combined with the birds reminded Harry of Hermione’s own wrath, and Harry only barely resisted the urge to pull up the zipper of his hoodie to fight the sudden chill in the air.

Their eyes met across the dark hall. The last time they had seen each other like this in person had been when Sirius… but it was different now. The space between them was saturated by a desire to understand, or maybe just a desire. Dumbledore was destroying the birds one by one. If there was to be a change, it had to be now.

“I want to pay attention. I want to understand… er… I’d like to unmask the monster,” Harry thought, suppressing a grin.

Voldemort tilted his head. “I’ll take you with me and no harm will come to you on one condition.”

“What’s that?”

“You’re not allowed to make a single reference to ‘Scooby Doo’ for the next twenty-four hours.”  

Harry pretended to consider this as Voldemort glided towards him. The last bird was destroyed. Dumbledore and Voldemort reached for him, but Harry only reached for Voldemort.

Twenty-four hours later, Harry would say “Jinkies!” and Voldemort would promptly push him off of the bed.

send me a pairing and a sentence?

9 and all the angst questions on the fic ask

9. What is the longest fic you’ve read?

Not sure actually. Probably HPMoR

13. Has a fic ever made you cry?

No, but a couple fics have made me stare blankly out the window silently asking why

MEMORY GAVE ME EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED AND THEN IT PULLED IT AWAY AND EVEN MADE ME ADMIT THAT THAT WAS PROBABLY NOT A BAD THING BUT IT STILL HURT

No, it’s fine as long as it’s in character

No

[theselkiesea]

Do Selkie and/or anyone else you'd like to--or do them ALL if you'd like. Do any #1 and five other questions you'd like to answer as well bc I can't decide on any others (I'll also answer the one OC sharing thing soon I am bad at replying lmao)

Aww dear, yer a dream! Take your time, no rush for the OC fact thing. Thank you darling!

For Selkie:

7. What feature (physical or otherwise) do they hate most about themselves?

She hates her silver hair. Basil is constantly playing and stroking it, makes comments on how beautiful it is. He decides everyday what style it should be in, up, down, braided etc It astonishes her that he even controls her hair. She fantasies about cutting it all off.

16. Is there anyone who makes them feel inferior?

Apart from Basil, there is Silvan and Peter. They are Basil’s henchdudes that normally take the shape of black dogs because their human forms are unnerving. 

23. Have they ever been assaulted/abused/raped? 

Basil has struck her across the face once or twice, he usually has her in a tight grip around her arm or wrist. 

37. Have they ever had their freedom taken away?

Too many times. First as a child being kidnapped and sold in a black market then being stolen away from her adopted father by Silvan and Peter to live with Basil. Her seal skin is locked away, it is the key to her freedom.

42. Are they comfortable with where they are in life?

Whenever I think about Selkie its still the first part of her life as her story is constantly being reworked.

But at the moment she isn’t. She’s scared and miserable and needs to escape Basil before their marriage. 

Bonus question for Basil:

13. Which of the 7 Deadly Sins best describes them?

He’d be greed without a doubt. He loves to flaunt around his pretty things and boast about his money. Constantly buying things to show up and get one up on his friends. He acquired Selkie just for this.

[vexalia]

got tagged by @marinxttes so here we go

pumpkin or apple // cocoa or cider // Halloween or Thanksgiving // leaf piles or apple picking // hay ride or corn maze // wooly sweater or furry slippers // pumpkin carving or knitting // squash or sweet potato // black cat or bat // skeletons or witches // fake blood or fake spiders // mashed potatoes or stuffing // orange or black // apple pie or maple donuts // marshmallows or candy corn // vampire or werewolf // fireplace or cozy nook // spiced wine or craft beer // candied apples or s'mores // big scarf or oversized hoodie

in the spirit of conformity my analysis is: as previously stated knitting is not remotely in the same vein as pumpkin carving it happens so much more often of course i must pick it. also s’mores and candy corn are equally terrible it’s a conspiracy to say otherwise. and listen. i love pumpkin spice. i am That Girl, it’s true. but apple is always good at all times through all year, and pumpkin just can’t meet that standard ripp (rest in pumpkin pieces)

i tag @heuheu-the-goose @andrastes @valkyrieraisingcain and anyone else who wants to make their opinions known on the internet
