Prompt 26 - Aimless

@jegulus-microfic April 26, Word count 682

Previous part First part

Regulus had been about to try and explain his way out of being found at the top of the Astronomy Tower with none other than James Potter as soon as Flich’s head had appeared but James had thrown a thick cloak over them and pressed his hand to Regulus’s mouth stopping him for making a sound.

James’s hand was warm, so warm it felt as though Regulus’s cold face was burning under it. He inhaled through his nose and wished he’d been able to use his mouth. Having James’s hand so close to him, that golden skin just beneath his nose, made his scent intoxicating. Regulus's mind went blank as they waited for whatever happened next.

They watched as Filch poked around in the dark crevasses and called out, “Aha!” A few times in vain as he peered into the shadows.

Eventually, he left, and they were alone again. James pulled out a piece of parchment and scanned it. Regulus couldn’t see what was on it as James kept it angled away from him. Only when James let out a sigh of relief did he remove his hand from Regulus’s mouth and pull the cloak off them. The brisk night air filled his lungs with relief after the near-stifling confines of the cloak.

“Sorry,” James said as he tucked the parchment back into his robes and bundled up the shimmering material in his lap. Regulus reached out a finger and tentatively ran it down the cloak. His eyes widened, and he looked up at James in amazement.

“Is that an invisibility cloak?” James nodded at him. “Can I—Can I have a look at it?” He asked, not expecting James to agree, but the boy surprised him and handed it over without a second thought, his face full of trust.

Regulus let the watery material skim through his fingers and draped it across his lap. His legs completely disappeared. Not even a shimmering outline was left behind. They were just gone. He knew James was watching him, but at this point, he didn’t care.

Reluctantly, he returned the cloak, letting it run through his hands as James took it back. “Thank you.” He said quietly, looking at his hands still tingling from the cloak. Or was it from before when he’d stroked James’s fingers and held his face? He flexed them, trying to get them to behave.

“Anytime,” James’s voice penetrated his thoughts.

“Huh?” He said inelegantly.

“You can see it anytime you want.” James suddenly sat up in excitement. “Hey, what about tomorrow night? We can sneak around the corridors, and I can show you this room me and Sirius found…” And just like that, the spell was broken. The mention of his brother’s name brought him back to his senses.

He jumped up and fled. Getting as far away as fast as he could.

He slowed down when he’d gotten a few floors below and in an aimless way wandered around the quiet corridors, his thoughts filled with images of James while still keeping alert enough to avoid Filch and his cat.

He was on the Charms corridor, his eyes scanning the tapestries as he passed them, when he walked into something warm and solid.

James pulled the invisibility cloak off himself and pushed Regulus up against to wall, pinning him on either side with his hands and gazing deeply into his eyes.

“Why did you run away?” James whispered, his voice husky and slightly out of breath. Regulus didn’t answer, just stared right back into those warm pools of hazel. James cocked his head to the side as if trying to read Regulus’s unspoken words. He stepped closer, crowding Regulus more against the wall. Regulus felt his breath hitch, and James’s eyes lit up. Before Regulus knew what was happening. Soft, hot lips were pressed against his, and his hands were reaching up all by themselves into messy black hair. The smell of cedar, summer days and bergamot filled his nostrils and mouth, relaxing him into James’s touch, and for the first time, he felt like he was home.

4 years after graduation wasn’t long enough for Filch to forget the silhouette of a spidery student skulking around in the dark.

I saw a post (can’t remember by whom) that said something along the line of Snape probably getting mistaken for a student by Argus Filch when he first started teaching at Hogwarts. I thought it was funny, so I put it into a drawing🌝

Nobody in any Austen novel is as relentlessly, unredeemably awful as Mrs Norris.

Henry Tilney’s dad is horrible, but he barely has a presence in the novel. John Thorpe is awful but his scope is limited. Mrs Elton is appalling — but she’s more often rude than a bully, and she does love her husband. Same for Edward Ferrars’ family.

Mrs Norris, however, is selfish, sycophantic and bullying in nearly every single chapter of Mansfield Park.

Why?

Why is it important to the story that the Bertrams allow a viper in their nest, for years?

I was trying to imagine a fic in which she’s sent away much earlier, as a way of figuring this out for myself — but I can’t imagine a single legitimate scenario in which Tom, Edmund or Lady Bertram bestir themselves enough to send her away!

Maybe that’s the point. Mrs Norris is meddling and cruel, especially to Fanny, and she pilfers, and yet nobody in that family can be bothered to do anything at all about it.

They won’t get rid of her any more than they’ll stop Tom from wilding, or Maria from marrying a man she despises, or Edmund from throwing himself at Mary Crawford. They’re each of them utterly self-centered.

The fandom hates Mrs Norris, and yes, she’s awful; but I say the other members of this family are just as bad: because they can stop Mrs Norris — they very easily could send her away — but they don’t bother.

Breathless - a wolfstargazer microfic - word count: 303

Feet pounded the flagstones. Filch's cries rang in their ears. It turned out that the coast had not been clear as Peter had insisted, and they had been spotted by Mrs Norris on the fourth floor.

"Split up!" James had cried, grabbing Peter who was closest and pulling him under the cloak.

Sirius had spun round in time to see Filch appear at the end of the corridor. He hadn't hesitated to grab Remus by the wrist and to insist, "Follow me."

Remus was not as fast as Sirius. He struggled to keep up, but he kept his eyes focused on the back of Sirius' head as he disappeared around a corner.

"Quick! In here!" Sirius hissed, skidding to a halt in front of a tapestry before disappearing behind it. Remus followed and was surprised to see a narrow door concealed there. Sirius drew his wand and whispered, "Alohomora." The door unlocked with a click. In a moment, Sirius had disappeared inside, pulling Remus in after him and closing the door behind them.

They stood in the narrow alcove, so close that every laboured breath Remus exhaled was stolen by Sirius' inhalation. It was too dark, and they were stood too close to see one another clearly. A breathless, silent moment passed, and Remus tried to hear if Filch had yet gone by.

"I don't know if he's gone," Remus whispered. "I didn't even know this was here. How did you?"

There was a pause. Sirius cleared his throat and said, "I've been here before."

Remus' stomach lurched. All at once, his mind went to places he really rathered it wouldn't...involving Sirius and someone else pressed close together in the alcove.

When he finally found his voice it sounded strained, and Remus hoped Sirius wouldn't hear the disappointment in just one word...

"Oh."

Prompt 6 - Admirer

@wolfstarmicrofic February 6, word count 395

Sirius and Remus were hurriedly moving down the corridor. Remus had the Marauder’s map in his hands, keeping his eye on Filch and Mrs Norris.

Sirius had to reach out and help steer him around corners and down secret passageways.

“Crap!” Remus hissed at the map.

“What’s wrong?” Sirius asked, his voice hushed just above a whisper, trying to peer at the map.

“They’re coming around. They’re going to corner us.” Remus looked at Sirius. Worry etched into his face. “You make a break for it. I’ll distract them.” He said as he handed the map over to Sirius.

Sirius had always been an admirer of Remus and his bravery, but right then, he could have kissed him. However, being a brave idiot himself. He refused to let Remus take the fall for their prank.

He grabbed Remus’s hand and yanked him forward. Running straight at Filch only to dart behind a tapestry just as Filch came pounding around the corner.

Sirius refused to let go of Remus’s hand as they stood there, barely breathing, listening to Filch’s footsteps stop.

He squeezed Remus’s hand tighter and let out a sigh of relief when Filch’s footsteps continued.

“Did you see where they went, my sweet?” Filch’s out-of-breath wheezing voice drifted into their hiding place.

Remus dug into Sirius’s pocket and pulled the map out again. He paused his movements and sighed.

“Sirius, I need my hand back to check the coast is clear.”

“Oh, sorry.” Sirius quickly dropped Remus’s hand, feeling the sudden emptiness and not enjoying it one bit.

Remus drew out his wand and tapped the parchment.

“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.” He muttered, then cast a Lumos, illuminating the tip of his wand so he could see the black lines spidering across the parchment to form the map. He peered at it, watching the markers labelled Filch and Mrs Norris heading in the opposite direction. “If we go now, we’ve got a clear run straight back to Gryffindor Tower.”

They set off quickly. It was a good thing Remus was paying attention as all he could think about was how right Remus’s hand had felt in his and why that might be. He was so distracted he was genuinely surprised when they were before the portrait of the fat lady and crawling into the safety of Gryffindor Tower.

That’s right, HEDWIG gets her own week. She is open to being joined by the other creaturely ladies of the series, however! Mrs. Norris, Norberta, Winky, and the Basilisk have entered the chat and are ready to tell their stories through you.

HEDWIG! Tell us her story. What was it like to be the owl of the famous Harry Potter?

Mrs. Norris - explain that special bond with Mr Filch perhaps?

Winky, the poor house elf who loved the Crouches and was never the same. Tell us her story too.

The Basilisk - what if our snake queen just wanted a good nap, or a gaggle of baby basilisks to raise? Tom Riddle, you ruined her perfectly good beauty sleep. How could you.

HP Rec Fest - Day 26

Prompt: A fic with an ending you can't stop thinking about @hprecfest

Haeligeweille

Characters: Argus Filch, Mrs. Norris

Creator: redsnake05

Rating: T/PG-13

Word Count: 8,052

Summary: When two Unspeakables set out on a bright summer day to continue their arcane research into holy wells, no one, least of all Argus Filch and Evadne Norris, expects it to end as it does. The bitterness of life without magic is pervasive, corrosive, and there is little light to find their way. One day, though, they'll walk that sunny path again.

Why You Should Check It Out:

"Haeligeweille" is a marvelous fic that does one of my favorite things in fandom: it visits a character that's played largely for fun in canon and gives him a backstory that is touching, thought-provoking, and very believable.

The author shows us how Argus Filch became so attached to Mrs. Norris and how they came to Hogwarts together in the wake of a tragedy. The story lyrically weaves different and very complex types of magic into a haunting story that makes Argus human and paints a relationship between him and Mrs. Norris that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

Monster Mash: I Asked My Love

Pairing: Minerva/Severus

Creator: Milotzi

Rating: M/R

Word Count: 1,202

Summary: Severus Snape would like to have a conversation but gets ignored

Why You Should Check It Out:

Lyrical, creepy, obsessive—this is observant Snape at his mordant best, a brief ghost story about love, loss, and making uneasy peace with the outcomes of our lives.

The Widow’s “Mite” or Where Can you Find True Generosity in Mansfield Park

I was just reading in my annotated copy that when Mrs. Norris says she contributes her "mite" she is referring to the story in the Bible of a widow who gives two small coins and because it is such a high percentage of her income, she is the most generous. Mrs. Norris actually has an income of 600 a year, lives rent free (probably), and has no children so she's fine and lying about being so generous.

We see other acts of “charity” from the Bertram family, such as Tom buying Fanny the same present over and over from his apparently ample allowance as an eldest son. Sir Thomas takes over Fanny’s care but houses her in what would probably be considered a servant’s room and its heavily implied that her education and possessions are far below what they should be because it’s a half-hearted gift at best.

Contrast this with Fanny and William. William uses what little money he has to buy his sister an amber cross, which makes it the most valuable gift. Mary talks about how she barely remembers how many things Henry buys her because he is always buying her presents. I don't think she's fibbing here, it's probably true and shows the low intrinsic value of these gifts because they are easy for Henry. The biggest "gift" would be if Henry actually moved to Everingham with Mary (as she requested), but he won't do that because it's too big a sacrifice. Henry is unwilling to sacrifice for his sister, but William is fully ready to.

Fanny also shows herself to be truly generous. When she goes to Portsmouth she has 10 pounds. She uses a portion of this to buy a silver knife for Betsey and solves a longstanding argument. She uses some more to subscribe to a circulating library which is for both her benefit and Susan's education. Both of her gifts are from a very small pool of money and it seems like the rest goes towards her purchases of food (she sends her brothers out for buns because she can't eat at home). Fanny did give from her small wealth.

We also know Fanny was involved in individual acts of charity even when at Mansfield. Her room contains some projects of chairty and she has given before to the very poor (she thinks about this before giving the new silver knife to Betsey). Fanny, in contrast to Mrs. Norris, has always been giving her mite.

#william price #mansfield park #fanny price #mrs norris #jane austen #giving their mite #true generosity #William is the best brother in Austen #contrast the amber cross to a piano #Darcy could buy a thousand pianos #not saying that Darcy isn't a good brother but William is the best #James Morland comes in like fifth #Bingley seems to be a decent brother

So the following characters are from my work on AO3 - Housewars at Hogwarts.

These characters are here as you chronologically meet them in the work. Please do keep in mind that this is only my personal interpretation of these characters. If you have any other vision of them, you're more than free/welcome to create it and show it to the world. =)
