Summary

Ever since the battle of Hogwarts, and the defeat of you know who along with his death eaters, The Wizarding World has been at peace. Wizards and witches feel secure, and don’t expect any nasty surprises or uprisings in the near future. So what happens when alliances against them form in the most unlikely places, And a new struggle for power begins? Well, the newest generation at Hogwarts is about to find out!

Lucie gave a cat like stretch, and tossed her quill onto the table in front of her. She squinted down at her watch, it was a quarter to midnight, and they had to meet the others in 15 minutes. Lucie Felt the nervous excitement, that always came when she was about to do something she knew she wasn’t supposed to be doing, mixed with exhaustion. It had taken much longer than previously anticipated, to finish her potions essay on the draft of a ternal sleep. Matthew seated beside her wasn’t even halfway through his own essay he kept sneaking glances at Lucie’s when he thought she wasn’t paying attention. Christopher was seated in his favorite arm chair by the fire, immersed in one of his well thumbed notebooks.

Christopher usually did not join Lucie, And Matthew when they did school work together, In the Ravenclaw common room. This wasn’t because he didn’t enjoy spending time with his friends, Christopher was very intelligent, and had an amazing memory. this meant that he excelled in all of their classes, and finished assignments incredibly quickly. instead of using his ample amount of free time to socialize with his friends, he spent it on his research. He was fascinated in the ways that everything magical, and non-magical function. None of his friends ever got annoyed at Christopher for this, they knew it was what he enjoyed doing. If it made her cousin happy then Lucie was satisfied.

Lucie scanned the common room. Ravenclaws despite their reputation of put togetherness, And Great organizers were a very untidy bunch. Scraps of parchment, with half thought out calculations, and ideas scribbled on them, Lay strewn across tables, and chairs. Broken quills lay beside chocolate frog wrappers, and empty ink bottles. The mess looked even worse contrasted against the common rooms elegantly arched ceiling covered in constellations, And spotless white bookshelves. She wasn’t judging her fellow comrades housekeeping however, Lucie was making sure everyone else had gone up to bed.

Matthew gave her a teasing grinn, which Lucie ignored. They both knew that the last Ravenclaws, A group of giggling fifth year girls had made their way upstairs, A half an hour ago. Despite this, Lucie had been nervously glancing over her shoulder, every five minutes. The sick feeling at the pit of her stomach had been increasing, as the night wore on. Lucie suffered from terrible nerves, every time they snuck out of Ravenclaw Tower, ever since she was 12 years old. In fact, she suspected they had only intensified throughout the years. Matthew treated the situation as he treated everything else, not very seriously.

He always tried to reassure her, By pointing out the fact, that if they hadn’t gotten caught by now, they probably never would. In response to this, Lucie would always remind him that she was the head girl of Ravenclaw, And Matthew was both there Quidditch team captain, and the Minister of Magic‘s youngest son! So they couldn’t afford, to rely on probably. She would suffer through her nerves, however to be able to spend a few hours spending time with her beloved friends, each week.

“Luce shouldn’t we get going?” Matthew inquired, looking over at her. She nodded, neatly rolling up her essay, and stuffing it inside her school bag along with her quill, And ink bottle. Matthew looked down at his essay, and side dramatically. “I guess I shall have to bring this accursed piece of paper along!” Lucy gave Matthew a questioning look. Shall?, but all she said was “I am sure you can get Daisy to help you.” He made a face at her, and she grinned. They both knew, that he would prefer to work with James, or Thomas. Cordelia was one of Lucie’s favorite people in the world, but even she could admit that Daisy could be a little intimidating at times.

Though Cordelia could be withdrawn at times, she always gave off a quiet aura of confidence and authority. Lucie doubted that her best friend, was even aware of this aspect of her personality. She knew with certainty though, that they played a big role in Cordelia being Quidditch captain, And head girl of Gryffindor house. Whenever Daisy helped Math with his homework, she watched him intently the entire time to make sure he was focused, and didn’t put up with his dramatics. Jamie on the other hand, usually ended up getting into trouble with Matthew, or just doing most of the assignment for him. They were best friends as close as Lucie and Cordelia, and had been best friends before even coming to Hogwarts.

Matthew gave her one of his best winning smiles “ come on Luce help someone in need.” She Scoffed “ oh don’t try that on me Math. I have been immune to your charms since you tried to eat Christopher’s pet ladybug Mr. spots on a dare from my brother when we were eight.” He frowned “ not One of my finest moments. It’s a good thing father stopped me, I’ve heard ladybugs are positively ghastly for one’s complexion!” Lucie wasn’t even going to bother asking, where Matthew had gotten said information. “ Matthew no matter how many times you refer to my father as yours it will not make it true.“ and I still haven’t gotten over Mr. spots you know.” Christopher said quietly from the fire. Lucie laughed, You never knew when Christopher was listening and when he wasn’t. Sometimes she would recount a long story to him, or an explanation of something, before realizing that he wasn’t paying attention in the slightest. Christopher wasn’t rude he was just, as his older sister Anna put it off in his own world.

Matthew gave them both Hurt looks “ no respect even from my closest friends!” “ you’ll get respect from me when you finish your essay.” She said, Pointing to the piece of paper on the table in front of him. “ you’ll never get it from me.” Christopher said matter-of-factly, Turning a page of his notebook. Matthew waved his wand, and sent all of his possessions including the much hated essay flying into his bag, in an unorderly jumble.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t smart, Matthew was as intelligent as all of his fellow Ravenclaw’s. He would just rather do the spells, and potions they were assigned. Then in his words “ wasting hours of my life shut up in Ravenclaw Tower, up to my ears in books, and essays depriving the world of my many talents!” His friends also knew, though he would never admit it that Matthew struggled sometimes under the expectations set for him. His mother Charlotte was the minister of magic, and his older brother Charles had been head boy of Ravenclaw house. Everyone was always watching him, waiting to see if he would be another success of the family, Or a screwup that they were secretly ashamed about. The professors, even treated him differently than the rest of the class sometimes. This caused Matthew to say rude things in class, and act out sometimes. Lucie, And her brother never stayed mad at him for long because of it though, they knew he was just constantly under a lot of stress. Matthew was at his best when he was with his friends.

He looked over at her his dark green eyes reflecting the fire light, as if he knew she had been thinking about him. “ ready to go?“ yep.” She replied, standing up and crossing the dark blue carpeted floor to Christopher, as Matthew bent to retrieve their brooms from their hiding place beneath the table. Beside Matthews chair Oscar wined. Oscar Wilde, was Matthews much adored golden retriever. He had been a present from James, back in their fourth year, for Matthews birthday. Oscar hated it every time they left him at night, he was incredibly loyal to Matthew and his friends. Whenever they were in the common room he would follow Matthew wherever he went. Matthew spoiled Oscar to no end, and loved his dog as much as Oscar loved him. They even bared a resemblance to each other, With the same shaggy golden hair, and green eyes, though Oscars were much lighter than Matthews.

She gave Christopher a gentle tap on his shoulder “ Time to go Kit.” In the space of about a minute, her cousin had slipped back into his own world. He blinked his dark blue eyes up at her, from behind his gold rimmed spectacles. They were the same as Lucie’s father, and aunt Cecily’s. Though their other cousins, Thomas, Barbara, and Eugenia did not share them. he blinked “ is it? Odd how quickly time passes, we were just talking about my poor ladybug Mr. spots.” He glared over at Matthew, who was stroking Oscar’s floppy ears. His own, and Lucie’s brooms on the floor beside them. She didn’t bother telling Christopher that it had only been a minute or so, instead she went to the window, and slid it open. Freezing night air streamed into the room, causing the fire to sputter wildly in it’s grate. Lucie was glad for the cold air, she leaned out the window taking in big lung fulls of it. Enjoying how it helped clear her nerves, and wake her up.

Matthew tide their bags to the back of her broom, with a practiced hand. As Oscar Wilde sat looking up at him with a disgruntled expression. Christopher gave Matthews broom a look that matched Oscars, he despised flying he was the only member of their group that was not on there house quidditch team. He didn’t even own a broom, Christopher said he would prefer to keep his feet on the ground at all times. He usually rode on the back of Matthews broom, and Lucie carried her own, and Matthews school bags on the back of hers. There was usually no need to bring Christophers, since he almost always had all his work complete. Sometimes Lucie would leave some of her work to the last minute on purpose. So she could work on it with Cordelia. Even though they had had this routine in place since their second year at Hogwarts, Christopher still hadn’t adjusted to it.

Matthew and Christopher joined her at the window, as Oscar slunk over dejectedly, to a spot by the fire, no doubt to wait for their return a few hours later. Matthew handed Lucie her broom, it was a bit awkward with the two bags tied to the end of it but, they managed to get it out the window, where it floated there like an odd bird. Matthew performed in over the top bow, and held his hand out for her to take “ my lady your chariot awaits. Lucie rolled her eyes at him, but took his outstretched hand. Usually in the winter months they needed to help each other clamber out of the window, since the sill was usually slick with ice. She climbed up onto the cold slippery stones. The sharp edges of them bit into her knees through her robes. Wincing Lucie began to slide off the ledge, and Matthews warm fingers still clutched tightly in hers, into the still dark Night below.

OK now let’s do characters you haven’t read about yet kit Herrondale Matthew Fairchild and James Herrondale

Let's go in reverse this time. I'm going to marry Matthew, specifically because I know that you would too, and I trust your opinion on that. I'm going to kiss Kit, because even though I haven't read the book he's in, I know I'd like him based on what you told me about him. And finally I'm killing James, only because he's the one I know the least about.

Who knew that you could make even tiger king romantic?

A modern Thomastair au where they are in quarantine together

Not going to give a summary so everything is a surprise😉🧡

Thomas sat on the couch with his boyfriends head laying comfortably on his shoulder. Alastair had suffered through a long day full of calls, and emails from angry customers. He worked as an insurance agent, and people weren’t happy about having to pay their bills during quarantine. They couldn’t work so they couldn’t make money, Thomas and Alastair had heard shouted down the other line of the phone that day. So Thomas had decided to do all of Alastair‘s favorite things. He had even agreed to finally get it over with, and watch tiger king. Though he denied it Alastair was a sucker for trashy reality TV.

So they sat snuggled up on their couch together, with the lights off and Windows open letting in the warm spring air. Thomas and Alastair were trying to support their local restaurants each week. So a pizza box from their favorite Italian place lay Open on the coffee table, only a single slice remaining. The smell of baking cupcakes filled the room, at Thomases protest Alastair had insisted on baking them for him. Thomas suspected that it was just so he could have something to do. He was having a harder time constantly staying inside then Thomas was. Thomas didn’t blame him however, Alastair had an extremely stressful job, and was a very social person. Thomas on the other hand had always been shy and reserved since he was small, and only had a small group of very close friends. He currently wasn’t working at the moment because his job at the animal shelter was considered nonessential. So he had made it his mission to make his boyfriend as happy as possible.

Just as Thomas was starting to drift off to sleep his chin propped on the top of Alastair’s Head, the timer went off in the kitchen. Alastair stirred moving away from Thomas and rubbing his eyes, Thomas silently cursed his boyfriend’s cupcakes for going off at that moment. Alastair smiled at Thomas and kissed him on the forehead, before heading into the kitchen. Just as The incessant beeping of the oven stopped, his phone pinged. It was a text from Lucie

You guys are watching tiger king finally! After you refused so Math and I had to watch it with Jamie and Cordelia over FaceTime without you!

He smiled to himself and wrote back a response.

Yes ☹️

He paused for a moment, and then added a lol so it wouldn’t seem like he was annoyed with her. Before tossing his phone down on the cushion next to him. Alastair returned carrying a plate with neatly arranged purple frosted cupcakes Thomases favorite color. Alastair laughed as Thomas snatched a cupcake off the plate and bit into it. Thomas loved everything his boyfriend made him but he was an especially good baker. He looked at Thomas with an odd expression on his face.

“What?” He asked around his mouth full of sugar.

“ you have frosting all over your face!”

Thomas grabbed a napkin from the coffee table and wiped his face.

“ all gone?.” He asked grinning up at Alastair. He shook his head laughing and took the napkin gently from Thomases hand cleaning off his face for him.

I am sorry!.” Thomas blurted. Alastair looked startled.

Thomas there’s no need to apologize it’s just a bit of frosting it was cute actually.”

“ No” he interrupted him.

“ tonight was supposed to be about you, you had a hard day and I just wanted to make you happy, but I feel like I took away from the focus of that or something.“ He fumbled through his explanation looking down at his lap.

Instead of sounding angry his boyfriend sounded like Thomas had just said something in credibly romantic. He put a hand on Thomases cheek

“ Thomas lightwood you make me happy just by existing!” Then he kissed him it was sweet not just because it tasted of frosting. Thomas grinned stupidly up at him.

“ Who knew you could make even tiger king romantic?” As if in response Thomases phone chimed once again with a response from Lucie. They both looked at each other and doubled up laughing.

This turned out a little longer than I intended but I love these two so much! This is my first time writing just about A specific ship but I hope you guys enjoyed!❤️

Even though Max is a warlock and not a shadow hunter jace treats him and Rafael exactly the same giving them both the same amount of in his words guidance and his special junior shadow Hunter training program. Whenever he and Alec go out on patrol Alec always checks Jace for stray children that he’s trying to sneak out of the apartment to come along. Claries background picture on her phone is of Jace on the couch with Rafael on his shoulders watching cartoons and Max on his lap while Rafael is watching TV Jace and Max are both asleep. Jace teaches Max and Rafael about some of his ancestors like James Lucy and will Herrondale. Max and Rafael are convinced that Kit and Jace are brothers not cousins so whenever they see kit they run up and bear hug him yelling uncle kit! Uncle kit! Jace thinks this is hilarious and after a while kit stops protesting that he’s not there uncle to. Jace usually lets Max and Rafael watch whatever they want but he never! Ever! Let them watch DuckTales! He teaches them about what he calls feathery demons from hell Jace explains that they are the worst and nastiest demon out there. Four Raphael‘s seventh birthday magnus and Alec get him a blue pajama set with little ducks on it Rafael and Max run screaming into their room and lock the door when Alec ask Jace why he’s tearing up he says because he’s so proud. Simon and Jace are constantly having who’s the better uncle battle which involves a lot of different presents and fun activities for the two boys. But their aunt Isabell always seems to win. Clary was on the fence about having kids for a while but after seeing how much their uncle Jay’s meant to Max and Rafael and how much he loves them she decided that maybe it was time to start popping out little Herrondale’s after all.
