Can someone write me an au where James Potter wasn't home when voldy attacked, killing his wife and child and causing him to go fucking ballistic, please? Him killing Peter and panicking to Remus and Sirius afterwards? The three of them hiding out for years so James isn't sent to azkaban? James getting caught anyways and sent to azkaban only to find out a few years later that the child he thought was dead is starting his third year at hogwarts? Him escaping and immediately wanting to know why his friends didnt tell him sooner, only for Remus to show him a bag full of hair from his last haircut and the batches of polyjuice potion him and sirius have spent the last year or so brewing so James could be harrys DADA teacher (disguised as Remus) until they find a way to convince the ministry how his actions were justified? Thank you.

more on writing muslim characters from a hijabi muslim girl
- hijabis get really excited over pretty scarves - they also like to collect pins and brooches - we get asked a lot of questions and it can be annoying or it can be amusing, just depends on our mood and personality and how the question is phrased - common questions include: - “not even water?” (referring to fasting) - hijabis hear a lot of “do you sleep in that?” (we don’t) and “where is your hair?” (in a bun or a braid, usually) - “is it mooze-slim or mozzlem?” (the answer is neither, it’s muslim, with a soft s and accent on the first syllable) - “ee-slam or iz-lamb?” (it’s iss-laam, accent on the first syllable) - “hee-job?” (heh-jahb, accent on the second syllable)
- “kor-an?” (no. quran. say it like koor-annn, accent on the second syllable) - people tend to mess up our names really badly and you just get a sigh and a resigned nod or an awkward smile, maybe a nickname instead - long hair is easy to hide, short hair is harder to wrap up - hijab isn’t just covering hair, it’s also showing as little skin as possible with the exception of face, hands, and feet, and not wearing tight/sheer clothing - that applies to men too, people just don’t like to mention it ( i wonder why) - henna/mehendi isn’t just for special occasions, you’ll see people wearing it for fun - henna/mehendi isn’t just for muslims, either, it’s not a religious thing - henna/mehendi is not just for women, men also wear it, especially on their weddings - there are big mehendi parties in the couple of nights before eid where people (usually just women and kids) gather and do each other’s mehendi, usually just hands and feet - five daily prayers - most muslim kids can stutter through a couple verses of quran in the original arabic text by the age of seven or eight, it does not matter where they live or where they’re from or what language they speak natively - muslim families tend to have multiple copies of the quran - there are no “versions” of the quran, there has only ever been one. all muslims follow the exact same book - muslims have no concept of taking God’s name in vain, we call on God at every little inconvenience - don’t use islamic phrases if you don’t know what they mean or how to use them. we use them often, inside and outside of religious settings. in islam, it is encouraged to mention God often and we say these things very casually, but we take them very seriously - Allahu Akbar means “God is Greatest” (often said when something shocks or surprises us, or if we’re scared or daunted, or when something amazing happens, whether it be good or bad; it’s like saying “oh my god”) - Subhan Allah means “Glory be to God” (i say subhan Allah at the sky, at babies, at trees, whatever strikes me as pleasant, especially if it’s in nature) - Bismillah means “in the name of God” and it’s just something you say before you start something like eating or doing your homework - In Shaa Allah means “if God wills” (example: you’ll be famous, in shaa Allah) (it’s a reminder that the future is in God’s hands, so be humble and be hopeful)
- Astaghfirullah means “i seek forgiveness from Allah” and it’s like “god forgive me” - Alhamdulillah means “all thanks and praise belong to God” and it’s just a little bit more serious than saying “thank god” (example: i passed my exams, alhamdulillah; i made it home okay, alhamdulillah) - when i say we use them casually, i really mean it - teacher forgot to assign homework? Alhamdulillah - our version of “amen” is “ameen” - muslims greet each other with “assalamu alaikum” which just means “peace be on you” and it’s like saying hi - the proper response is “walaikum assalam” which means “and on you be peace” and it’s like saying “you too”

Lily was the first to figure it out. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise, after all she was known for coming in first in all her classes.
When James didn’t bother her for a week she thought he was planning something big. When he didn’t bother her for a month she thought he was finally giving up. When he showed up two months later with an apology, that’s when she knew.
He was over her. Fully and truly. Cause when James loved someone he loved them with his whole heart - which meant he had moved on to a new target.
So it doesn’t come as a surprise that when she goes into the potion room after hours to work on her extra credit assignment, she finds James making out with someone instead.
“So you do know where the potions room is.”
The happy couple jumps apart and James turns a sheepish look at her. That’s when Lily finally gets a good look at who James was with.
Black curly hair, regal features, slytherin tie.
She raises an eyebrow. “You never took things the easy way did you?”
James groans as Regulus laughs.
Lily smirks at Regulus. “Him going after you, I get. But you? You voluntarily chose him?”
“It was a lapse in judgement”
“Hey-“
They both ignore James.
It’s the start of a beautiful friendship.

A Very very belated secret Santa gift for @flori-doodles that's been sitting in my notes app for far to long. This secret Santa is (was??) brought to you by @song-tam 👏
Merry halfway through February!
Anyways, Keefe and Fitz smool story under the cut.
The're dating. It's a bit gay. Idk what else to tell y'all
(Idk how to label stories and stuff, so nothing more here)
And sorry about the the hearts, they keep moving and changing size and idk. I can't bear the thought of getting rid of them tho.
Keefe and Fitz were close friends, VERY close friends. That was all. There was no other attraction between the two. At least that's what everyone else thought.
Because what would people say, if they were more? The elven world was outraged by people with twins or triplets, what would they say about two boys dating?
So, it stayed a secret.
♡♡♡♡
"Will you be coming over after school today?" Asked Fitz, his brown hair and abnormal teal eyes sparkling in the light glinting off the glass side of the level three wing.
The two sit in an empty corridor, enjoying the little time they have alone together.
Keefe, squashed up next to Fitz, leans over until his head is touching the others shoulder. Sighing softly, he closes his eyes "I wish I could, but father has some important dinner and I have to be there apparently."
"I'm sure we can come up with something. My dad could ask him if you could stay, maybe even for a sleepover" he says, a glint of determination in his eyes.
"Fitz, it's alright. I can deal with one evening of stuffy nobles" Keefe replies warily, glancing up at the boy above him.
"Well, I'm not letting you spend more time in that house than is strictly necessary. I'm gonna ask my dad to ask yours about a sleepover" determination growing, he grabs his imparter from his bag, but is stopped by Keefe’s hand.
"I don't need you to save me from everything, Fitz " Keefe mumbles.
Both of them fall silent.
♡♡♡♡
Keefe and Fitz knew each other well, and they were always said to be 'like brothers'. Which is a lovely compliment, yet they still cringed at the word 'Brothers'. Because no one could know they were more.
If they could tell the world, they would. But the elven world is disgusted by bad matches, what would it say about two boys dating?
so, it stayed a secret.
♡♡♡♡
Before heading home, Fitz approaches Keefe, with the same offer as before.
"Are you sure you don't want to come over? I'm sure my parents would be fine with it" he asks, growing slightly desperate.
"Fitz" Keefe says, gently grabbing Fitz’s hand "I would love to, you know that. But I can't. Not tonight"
"But-" Fitz is cut short by a single finger on his lips, making the 'shhh' sign on his mouth.
"Not today, okay?" Keefe says, with a slight grin, as Fitz's eyes develop a haze of confusion.
"What's this meeting about anyways?" Fitz says, once Keefe finally removes his finger.
"I'm not really sure.” Keefe admits “It's probably just some semi-legal paperwork my dad's doing again," he says, his voice slightly softening.
Fitz fell quite again.
And he stayed quiet on the walk back.
♡♡♡♡
Keefe and Fitz were so close. In fact, the Vackers might even consider Keefe their son. But never for the reason the boys wished.
Maybe they wished it could be 'son in law' instead one day.
And maybe one day it would be, but the elven world was uncomfortable around the talentless, what would they say about two boys dating?
so, it stayed a secret.
♡♡♡♡
That afternoon, over Pathfinder Fitz had finally convinced Keefe.
"I don't wanna be caught up in anything too illegal, you know?" Keefe joked, but it was all to real of a possibility to be funny.
♡♡♡♡
Keefe and Fitz were close, never one without the other. They just balanced each other out so perfectly.
It's funny no one suspected anything, but who would've thought two boys could be more than friends. Because the elven world was distraught around the very thought of humans what would they say about two boys dating?
So, it stayed a secret
♡♡♡♡
Fitz rushes up the Stairs at a Superhuman. speed, almost running smack bang into a slightly visible Della.
'Sorry!" he across yells, still sprinting across the house.
A few minutes later, he reaches his destination, out of breath. Still panting, he enters his bedroom, levitating things out of his way as he goes.
His room was a mess, and that needed to be changed right away.
Because Keefe was coming over.
It wasn't like he hadn't been over before, there'd been endless days of base quest and mallowmelt. But this time things were different. Because Keefe was staying the night.
The very thought of sleepover with him made Fitz heart do silly little flips.
He didn't have time to think about that, when there were only 2 hours until Keefe arrived, and his room looked like it'd been hit with bomb. (As his mum would say)
♡♡♡♡
Keefe’s heart seemed to be attempting to gymnastics as he tried to keep his blushing under control.
clothes and a random assortment of items are spread across his room as he attempts to pack a bag.
the thing is, he'd never been to a sleepover, especially not with someone so- perfect.
He’s so under prepared.
He looks at the clock hanging over his bed.
Frick
He only had an hour left to turn to the explosion in his room into a a neatly packed bag AND find something to wear.
And on top of all that, he needed to do his hair.
♡♡♡♡
Keefe and Fitz were close, to close to be just friends. Whispers of them being something else flitted through foxfire, and it wasn't met with outrage or disgust or discomfort.
It was met with hope.
The elven world was disapproving of anything less than perfect, but what was imperfect about love?

Character intros ig!
So for a bit of backstory, there was a war between the mundane and magical communities ten years before this is set.
And this all takes place during the time of the black Death, which both nations believe is the others falult.
I just realized how hard this is to do without including spoilers so the descriptions are quite simple. Sorry about that.
Coventina- Human, female,
Cove has lived on a ship with her father and a few other people since she was left at his doorstep, by her mother. She is unsure why her mother left.
Atlas- Half human, male
After his family died of the black Death when he was young, Atlas has been training in the kings atmy, in case another mundane-magic war is sprung. Then, something happens.
Azra- Siren, non binary
Since azra died when they were 15, they have risen through the ranks of the sirens and is currently one of the leading sirens in the colony.
