Why do people give Harry more Black family storylines than Draco?!

It's hard being a Draco fan...well a canon Draco fan. If you want great fics that explore his character, you have to deal with a bunch of Drarry and sometimes Dramione. That's not even factoring in how OOC Draco is in so many of these fics. That's why I partly gave up on Drarry fics. It's almost impossible to find a good Draco fic that does not involve him shagging someone in the golden trio.

But this post was inspired by posts by Snaters and/or Dumbles antis who claim Harry should have named his son after Regulus. Here are my grievances:

There needs to be more exploration of DRACO as the Black heir

I don't know how Siri was able to keep his fortune when he was supposedly disowned but it's very frustrating seeing fics where Harry is the Black heir and becomes Lord Black. Just stop and think for a moment. Draco is literally the only pureblood Black offspring left! The Black line is basically extinct! And if you factor in Drastoria, Draco was willing to let his maternal AND paternal lines fade away! The only time Draco's Black heritage seems to be brought up is in fics where abusive Lucius disowns him. It's just sad. Harry is NOT a Black! As much as I love Godfather!Sirius, part of me is disgusted that Harry inherited Grimmauld's place. That house should belong to Narcissa and Draco and I don't care if I am the only one on this hill.

More Regulus & Draco, please!

People seem to prefer to write a relationship with Reggie and Harry. Which makes a bit of sense...but wouldn't it be more interesting to explore Draco & Reggie?? Draco and Regulus are family and they share quite a few similarities. I have seen some fics where Narcissa is so protective of DE!Draco because she sees him as a second chance after she failed Reggie. Or I have seen some fics where Regulus lives but so many of those center on Harry and Draco is lucky to be an afterthought. Why is Draco so divorced from his Black family? There's hardly any exploration with Draco & Sirius either. I don't even recall Draco expressing any feelings about Sirius as a family member in book 3 when the dude is his cousin! Draco, Harry's rival, is related to his beloved godfather and NOTHING is done with this! Like WTH!!!

The positive side!

At least there are incredible fics out there that explore Draco's relationship with Andy and the Tonks family. I love Dora being Draco's surrogate big sister 🤩. So cute!!! I also like the Tonks family being involved in Draco's redemption and Ted being so fatherly towards Draco. Chef's kiss. Please, let Draco interact with his family 😞! Why is JKR so against Draco having a family?! Even his damn wife dies in CC!!! He only has one kid! Please, give this man an extended family!

12 Grimmauld Place

Of all the world’s great cities London is one of the oldest, with its history spanning nearly two millennia. It is the capital city of England; it has been since William the Conqueror won the Battle of Hastings and was named King of England in the newly completed Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day 1066. Through its higgledy-piggledy streets, all teeming with life, runs the River Thames, weaving like an ancient serpent through the city’s bones, coursing away through the thousands of years as the rumbling city swells in size around it, like an ever expanding wave.

Islington is an Inner Borough of London, located directly north of, and a stone-throw’s away from, the old City of London. In the early 18th century to the early 19th century, a new style of architecture was born; the Georgian townhouse. Muggle architects were ever more drawn to the ancient Greek and Roman styles; architectural beauty marked by symmetry, proportion and balance. Towns flourished in this period and London Town most of all; Islington was the proud new home of several Georgian townhouses. In 1807, Henry Dupont started work on the square of townhouses that would become Grimmauld Place, on land owned by the Marquess of Colchester. In the spring of 1812, the houses were completed and became highly sough-after, fashionable houses to own by the British aristocracy.

In 1865 Cygnus Black II, at the age of twenty-two, was walking through London after having visited the British Ministry of Magic in Whitehall. He suddenly found himself in a very beautiful and impressive square of townhouses, with a rather lovely and flourishing garden in the centre. He persuaded the Muggle gentleman living in number twelve to pass over the keys and the deeds (and in one night the home seemed to vanish from Muggle existence) and 12 Grimmauld Place remained in the House of Black for 131 years, until 1996. When Orion Black, the husband of Walburga Black who was the granddaughter of Cygnus Black II, lived in number twelve, he added more anti-Muggle protection and made the home Unplottable. When the last remaining male heir, Sirius Black III, passed away, he left it to his godson, Harry Potter.

The home played an important role in the Second Wizarding War; it was the base for the Order of the Phoenix from 1995 to 1996 and when the Golden Trio were on the run, it provided a safe haven for them in the late summer of 1997.

After the war ended, at the end of the summer in 1998, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley moved back into 12 Grimmauld Place as they were soon to begin their careers as Aurors. As Neville Longbottom also started work in the Auror Office, he joined the boys in London. For the next year, they would be the sole occupants of the old townhouse, alongside Kreacher who lived there until he passed away in the winter of 1999. After Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley graduated in the summer of 1999, they joined the boys and three became five. During that summer, Harry and Ginny got engaged, Ron and Hermione decided to find their own flat and Neville, who over the last year of the war became romantically involved with Hannah Abbott, decided to move in with her after the summer. Harry and Ginny discussed moving house but eventually decided, as they had a house inherited from Harry’s Godfather Sirius, and Ron and Hermione were going to be renting a flat in London, that they would stay and make 12 Grimmauld Place their home.

By the time Harry and Ginny’s first born son James came, 12 Grimmauld Place would be unrecognisable from the Pure-Blood style extravagance it used to be when owned by the Black family. The front door was painted a proud Gryffindor red, the silver serpent knocker became a golden phoenix knocker (in honour of the time the house had spent being a home to the Order of the Phoenix) and inside all of the old paintings and tapestries were removed. The history of the home remained in the old wooden floors and the doors and the wide sweeping staircase crawling up the house, but the old ideas were swept out and the home became brighter and more vibrant.

At the top of the home, on the fourth floor, the bedrooms belong to James and Albus. James inhabits the room that used to belong to Sirius (his namesake) and Albus inhabits the room that belonged to Regulus. On the third floor lies the master bedroom where Harry and Ginny reside, a smaller double bedroom that belongs to Lily and a shared bathroom. The second floor is home to Harry’s study, the sitting room (which was used as a playroom when the children were young, and then transitioned into a family room where the Potters love to enjoy each other’s company) and a bathroom. The first floor houses the impressive drawing room where the curtains used to be filled with doxies and an entire wall held a tapestry of the Black family tree but which now holds pictures of the Potter family. The ground floor is where the dining room is found, where many a large family Christmas has been held with much merriment and cheer. In the basement is the kitchen, with its stone floors, living beneath the house above; it seems to be constantly moving, the life-force of the family home.

"Tom Riddle effectively destroys the country from the inside out, which I believe was his true goal the entire time" (c) wait a second, so you think that he wasn't going to really take over or anything, just destroy the fuck out of w britain?

I have avoided this ask long enough.

I’ll start by saying that asking me about Tom Riddle is like staring down into a bottomless rabbit hole. We could travel down that path, but it is a dark and perilous journey, and by the end of it I will come out looking like the Mad Hatter.

It also requires a few prerequisites that you’re just going to accept as true (or else got off the crazy train here).

We know very little about Tom Riddle or Voldemort

What we do know of Tom Riddle comes to us from suspect sources

I’m just going to go out there and start with the basis that Tom is not crazy

Elaborating a little on number 1. We never actually see much of Tom Riddle or Voldemort directly. He’s a bit like Thanos in the MCU, or Palpatine in the first two movies of the Original Trilogy, he’s this looming threat that we pass by and glimpse every once in a while but never really get quality time with.

Generally, Voldemort makes an appearance in a moment of crisis.

He and Harry fight over the philosopher’s stone for Tom’s very survival. He and Harry fight over the diary for Tom’s very survival. He resurrects himself with Harry as a witness. We get those very strange dreams from Voldemort’s perspective (half of which we later learn are fabricated).

None of these really lend to our, or Harry’s for that matter, understanding of Tom Riddle. There’s too much going on, it usually happens far too fast, and there’s usually something Tom Riddle desperately wants or needs that eclipses all other concerns or else he has an audience.

This is part of the reason we get those Halfblood Prince pensieve lessons: Harry knows nothing of Tom Riddle and doesn’t understand him at all.

Which leads us, of course, to number 2, most of what we know about Tom Riddle comes from Dumbledore. I’ve talked about this before, so I won’t spend much time on it, but Dumbledore has a very clear agenda in relaying these memories to Harry. Dumbledore already has strong suspicions of what objects are horcruxes and where they’re located, he already has Snape as a very reliable agent to continue work when he’s gone, his job here is to convince Harry there is no path but suicide. And that involves portraying Tom Riddle as the most evil man who ever eviled, was born eviler than the antichrist, and will die eviler than the antichrist.

Now, does this make Tom necessarily good or bad? No.

However, it does mean when Dumbledore tells us things like, “See, Harry, an impoverished child was upset when I lit all his belongings on fire! What a monster!” (especially given that, in a similar situation, Harry thought it was hilarious when Hagrid gave Dudley a permanent physical deformity and Harry was told he was an angel child) we should take it with a very large grain of salt.

Right, so, with all that backdrop what I’m getting at is that a) we can’t take Dumbledore at his word b) even if we could he could be wrong c) Harry doesn’t have the introspection to be able to figure himself when a or b is happening. I won’t elaborate on this last much, suffice to say that Harry’s world is very black and white, divided into the camps of those who personally like him and those who don’t.

So, why do I think Tom’s goal was not to rule the wizarding world but instead to destroy it?

A few things.

First, there are so many easier ways he could have ended up ruling the wizarding world. More, even when he effectively does rule the wizarding world in book seven, he takes very strange actions so that he’s never directly in power.

Second, I never really bought Tom’s racism. It’s too convenient and too contradictory with his backstory.

The second first, because we’re going out of order today. I’ve gone over this before, but I don’t believe Tom had minions early and I think he was effectively treated as a muggleborn (see here and here) until he took on the Voldemort persona many decades later. I’m hard pressed to believe someone as intelligent, angry, and proud as Tom Riddle would willingly believe and accept he was inferior to the likes of Abraxas Malfoy. More, even if he wished he was a halfblood, I think the evidence of him being muggleborn would be stacked too high against him to deny even to himself (and when he finds out it’s not true, he has maybe a month or so before he realized that he’s the bastard son of a squib).

And it’s just so convenient. All the people with the power, with the money, who are itching for a cause against a threat that doesn’t really exist believe in blood purity. Ergo, Voldemort shows up suddenly espousing over the top blood purity rhetoric (rhetoric that directly clashes with his “there is only power” philosophy at that).

In other words, I think Tom Riddle gave himself a line that he knew would get him places very quickly.

And now for the first. For a guy who has had the entire country in the palm of his hands twice, one time taking it over in a bloodless coup, he’s really big on causing collateral damage and really small on actually doing the ruling thing.

The first wizarding war, Tom Riddle as Voldemort has the backing of the heirs of the most prestigious and wealthy noble houses save a select few. These are people with seats in the Wizengamot, which has a frightening control over the government itself (including the minister of magic). I imagine, in 1980 had Tom Riddle wanted to be elected as Minister of Magic, he would have been elected as Minister of Magic. If he wanted a friendly face in office then he probably could have made that happen to.

More than even this though, by this point, Tom had already won. By having control over the majority of the Wizengamot he owns the government. He’s done, it’s over, it’s finished, and many of the characters admit as much which is why Harry Potter was such a miracle. So why all the seemingly random, exceptionally pointless, terrorism?

One answer is that Voldemort is crazy bananas. And sure, I guess we can go with that, except for someone insane he’s oddly effective and very consistent.

I believe Tom was systematically destroying the very foundations of the country through its core aristocratic families. Within a few short years Tom decimates the Black family, it goes from having five heirs to none, and while some of this isn’t Tom’s fault he does take care of quite a few of them. He brands Lucius for life, while Lucius rises high in politics he never escapes the stigma of being a known Death Eater and in the end cannot escape the consequences for his actions. The Malfoy family is very nearly destroyed by the end of the series, had Draco died in the Fiendfyre. The LeStrange family, presumably decimated as well.

More, this is mostly me headcanoning, but I imagine Tom fuels an extremism that the Wizarding World had never contemplated. I imagine, previously, anti-muggleborn sentiment was probably fairly rampant among purebloods. Oh, some were very pro-muggleborn I’m sure, but I think most were fairly “eh” on the people and felt they were a drain on society (such as requiring constant funding for the obliviation department).

However, when Diagon Alley starts getting blown up every other week, when muggleborns start being tortured and murdered, when purebloods who aren’t anti-muggleborn enough are being tortured and murdered, this starts wigging people out in a way they’ve never wigged out before.

By the time we get to Harry Potter’s canon, it is now only a minority that are anti-muggleborn, and they’re perceived as raving lunatics. Nobody wants to be grouped with these people. Which, just goes to show, how much Voldemort rattles the wizarding world in a very small amount of time.

Then there’s Deathly Hallows, rather than become minister himself Voldemort installs a puppet minister. He shows no signs of wishing to change this and instead does things like destroy the sorting hat (which again shakes the very foundations of the wizarding world as whta will we do if we don’t know who’s a Gryffindor anymore?!)

So, where is this ramble going?

Given the results we see, that more than any others it seems to be the purebloods and often Tom’s own followers that suffer colossal losses, I think Tom’s actions are, in part, a means of vengeance against the entire damn wizarding world (but especially the purebloods).

He makes fools of these people, brands them as his slaves, and has them participate in the most over the top ridiculous rituals (the cloaks, the masks, the entire theatrics of it feels like Tom got drunk one night and planned this whole thing out). He destroys them entirely, and better, enables them to completely destroy themselves and the country they believe they’re trying to save.

Basically, I think by the time the series begins Tom is fueled by a nihilist rage that knows no bounds. But dammit all, the wizarding world is going to burn.

What do you think would have happened if Harry Potter had never been born? What would the wizarding world look like? What about if Tom Riddle never would have been?

Ooh, interesting question, anon.

Harry Potter is Never Born

If Harry is never born this means that Lily and James never go into hiding, they do not have the prophesied child. Instead, Neville is the one who is attacked and, depending how you read JKR, Tom Riddle blows up there and Neville becomes the boy who lived.

Since we're in my land, though, I say that this does not happen.

Neville is not the boy who lived, whatever strange combination of events created that, per Lily's actions and feelings, or per whatever Harry himself truly is, I don't think Neville has the right combination of ingredients.

So, instead, Neville and his family all die that night, and there is no prophesied warrior.

Dumbledore likely tries to persuade everyone in the Order to get pregnant and aim to deliver a child by the end of July. Eventually, one of them will be a boy born towards the end of the month.

I'm going to go ahead and stick it on the Weasleys, they seem the type, so either Ron or yet another child is born and manages to fit the parameters of prophesied warrior child.

At this point, Tom realizes that Dumbledore's going to have his minions make babies until one of them fits the bill. He likely throws his hands in the air and goes, "No, I ain't murdering any more babies" and decides that he'll deal with this whenever he deals with this.

This has Dumbledore sweating bullets as this means that Voldemort is not marking the child as an equal. Also not good. Dumbledore likely spends all of prophesied child's childhood trying to lure Tom Riddle into making a move to acknowledge the child as his equal. It never works.

Peter is likely never discovered to be the spy, Snape never defects, though I imagine James and Lily's marriage does fall apart eventually as it becomes clear they want very different things in life.

Voldemort takes over the government, though likely he rules from the shadows, installing a puppet minister. He effectively destroys the sorting system, making the multi-house system only one house (which he says is Slytherin but is really just this meaningless concept). The great wizarding families likely still fall apart, the Black family is decimated, the Malfoy family is completely under his control, etc. And everyone, basically, has a completely miserable time.

The Death Eaters likely all but disband, there's no need for them anymore, now that Tom has full power they're a useless organization. Meetings with them just become weekly cocktail parties where they talk about how important they are.

Though Tom still keeps tabs on the Order through Peter (who becomes increasingly petrified he'll be discovered).

As for the Order themselves, they're declared to be domestic terrorists, and are hunted down one by one (Tom, in fact, knowing who every member is thanks to Peter). Different members begin dropping out, in fear for their lives and their families and seeing their own lack of effectiveness.

They've not only lost, but the wizarding world has embraced Voldemort, no one cares. Some become more extreme in their desperation (looking at you, Moody and Sirius), some flee the country (probably Lily and Remus), and some are caught in between a rock and a hard place (the Weasleys and James). Regardless, I imagine the organization crumbles.

Dumbledore probably makes some desperate, last, stand and tries to use the prophesied child (much to the Weasley's utter horror as it finally dawns on them exactly what this means) but it doesn't work out.

Tom Riddle becomes an immortal emperor.

And from there, we get into very large tangents so I think we'll just stop here.

Tom Riddle is Never Born

The Wizarding World and its woes look shockingly similar.

Perhaps there's no dark lord in the 1970's, but I imagine there's unrest and violence, spurred on by the more radical purebloods. Bellatrix, I can see engaging in arson/acts of domestic terrorism utterly unprompted and goading those like Lucius, the LeStranges, and other rich pureblood heirs into joining her.

Snape likely is consumed by bitterness, rage, and the desire for vengeance. I can see him murdering Sirius Black and then killing himself.

My point being, the Wizarding World's problems didn't stem from Tom Riddle, he took advantage of them.

Dumbledore doesn't see this because he believes the world is divided into great men and those that follow them, that it is men who create ideas rather than all of us being cogs in the great machine known as history. As a result, he'd likely blame someone else for stirring up trouble, probably Bellatrix in this reality.

Harry himself has a different upbringing.

His parents are likely divorced, due to how wizarding society works, this means he has no contact with his mother and a very conflicted view of her.

He likely has somewhat anti-muggle/muggleborn leanings because of what happened with his mother.

Harry is now the heir to the Potter line, and is being groomed for the day he'll take over his father's holdings and seat in the Wizengamot. While he's probably still sorted into Gryffindor, in desperate fear of disappointing his father, he's much more like Draco Malfoy in that he's the only child and heir to a very wealthy and powerful family.

He's likely still friends with Ron but never becomes friends with Hermione. In part because Hermione's an obnoxious muggleborn and also because there's no troll because there's no Quirrell (Quirrell is happily Muggle Studies professor and enjoys his life of not being possessed).

Anti muggleborn sentiment is still alive and well and Hermione has an utterly miserable time in Hogwarts. Especially as she has no friends throughout all of her seven years there.

”Hold on, I tried to call Ron, who is this?” Potter doesn’t sound even a little bit out of breath. Twat. Draco sees him run past the Tom Ford store and silently prays that the awful looking grey monster with tentacles that is following Potter doesn’t destroy one of his favorite stores.

”Someone who’s watching this spectacle live. Merlin, I feel like im watching a muggle moving picture, a film is it? Anyways, Potter, watch out behind you,” Draco replies, and takes a sip of his tea. He watches as Potter hastily points his wand at that thing behind him. ”That beast was about to slice you in half, you really ought to be more careful. Didn’t they teach you anything at auror training?”

”What?” Is all Potter says and Draco silently contemplates how he managed to become an auror with such underdeveloped critical thinking skills and terrible awareness of his surroundings. Draco thinks he is absolutely daft.

”Wrong number, and before you ask, yes I am a wizard with a muggle telephone and no I have no clue how to successfully operate this thing. It’s been fun to try though,” Draco takes another slow sip of his tea. Just twenty minutes prior, Draco had sat himself down at this café somewhere in central London for a calm, extremely boring brunch. And then Potter came to ruin it by blasting a bunch of slimey, grey tentacle monsters right down the block. Typical. ”Please, Potter, get this over with. I would very much like to enjoy my brunch as soon as possible.”

”Who are you?” Draco watches as he almost dies, again, and rolls his eyes. He feels as though he should probably be startstruck that Harry Potter, of all people, accidentally called him on his muggle flip phone, but honestly? He’s been through more shocking things. He thinks.

”The name is Draco Malfoy,” Draco tells him as he watches Potter turn a corner up ahead, and he’s gone in a swoosh of monsters and red flashes of light. ”Anyways, you should probably hang up now to focus on that thing following you, it’s about to turn the same corner you just did.”

Draco hears Potter’s swear through the phone, and then a list of spells shouted in rapid fashion. Most likely at the beast. ”Uhm, okay, thanks,” he says.

”Whatever,” Draco says, and then snaps shut his flip phone. He continues to sip his tea.

***

Almost four weeks later, Draco’s phone rings again whilst he is cooking dinner. He doesn’t recognise the number, but he picks up anyway.

”Oh thank Merlin, Ron. Please tell me how to stop a densaugeo hex,” Potter’s, now familiar, voice says.

Draco sighs. ”Still not Ron,” he replies. ”But just use a shrinking charm, it should do the job.”

”Huh? Who is this?”

Draco sighs again, this time annoyingly and loud enough for Potter to hear over the phone. The water starts to boil over in the pot on the stove and he turns down the heat slightly. ”Draco Malfoy, same person you called when those awful grey things were trying to kill you, do you recall? Reducio should save whatever has been hexed, you’re welcome.”

”Thanks,” Potter says, hesitantly. ”So, I still have the wrong number in my phone?”

”Well, considering I’m not Ron or his affair de coeur, yes, it seems so Potter,” Draco snarls, and smirks as he hears Potter laugh on the other line.

”Alright, that’s fair. Thank you,” Potter replies. Draco hears him mutter the charm under his breath faintly. ”Draco, was it?”

”Yes, I’ve told you that twice now,” Draco turns of the stove with a flick of his wand and pours the pasta into a bowl. ”Well, I would like to enjoy my dinner now so, goodbye.”

He hangs up the phone and eats his dinner in the living room. He thinks about Potter.

”Merlin what an idiot,” he says out loud.

***

Draco’s phone rings while he is at work only a week later, and Draco already knows who’s calling. Not that he is keeping track. He rolls his eyes and picks up.

”Hurry up, I’m busy,” Draco says, adding two drops of flobberworm mucus to his cauldron and stirring 4 times clockwise.

”Hey Draco,” Potter says, sounding awfully entertained. Draco huffs. ”Am I disturbing you?”

”As a matter of fact, you are indeed Potter. I’m working, get to it,” he says, and tries to focus on the dreamless sleep he’s making.

”Just wondering, do you know anywhere I could get some blood-replenishing potion? The Apothecary has run out and it’s sort of urgent.”

Draco hums into the phone, and presses it in between his shoulder and head in order to cut up some lavender. ”If you’re brave enough, Mr Mulpepper’s is on Knockturn Alley. If you just walk past Borgin’s and to the left, you should see it.”

”You think I’m scared? I defeated Voldemort, I think I can manage Knockturn Alley,” Potter says, and Draco can practically feel the grin on his face.

This would probably be a good time to owl Pansy to admit that he has been properly enamoured by Britain’s golden boy. Ugh. Not fair. Totally not fair.

”You’re not half as cute as you think you are, Potter,” he lies through his teeth. He stirs the cauldron anti-clockwise and adds the lavender.

Potter chuckles, and Draco feels it in his whole body. ”No, but you’re probably twice as cute as I think you are,” he says. ”Anyway, thanks for the tip Draco,” and then he hangs up.

Draco stares at the cauldron of dreamless sleep for at least, like, five minutes. He should be shocked that this was the third time Potter rang, if he wasn’t so dumfounded by the fact that Potter was flirting with him. Harry Potter had called him, on purpose, to flirt with him.

Draco fucks up the dreamless sleep. It turns blue. He gives up on trying to save it after that.

***

Just a few days later Draco is on his way to have a few drinks with Blaise and Pansy, when the phone rings. Draco would very much like to ignore it, but the ringtone is so immensely antagonising he thinks it should be illegal.

”Again, Potter, really? Be quick about it, I’m a busy person,” Draco drawls into the phone.

”Draco Lucius Malfoy, born 5th of June 1980 in Forcalquier, France. Son and only heir to Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy, née Black. Oh, you’re Sirius’ cousin, how fun, I’m totally going to make fun of him for that. Anyway, your father was a notorious death eater, played a major role in the second wizarding war and was considered You-Know-Who’s second in command. Very interesting. Your aunt was quite infamous too, Bellatrix Lestrange. She tortured me once, you know. You grew up in France and attended Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, I suspect for reasons being to stay away from your father, perhaps. Graduated top of your class three years ago, and works as a potioneer, is that right?”

Draco draws in a sharp breath. He had stopped walking and was standing in the middle of the street as if he had been hit with a petrificus totalus. Mild panic claws at his chest, but he continues walking. He couldn’t quite place the voice, but it sounds awfully familiar. The person is soft spoken, and the speech didn’t sound cruel, so he tries to calm down.

”That is indeed right, may I ask who I’m talking to?” Draco asks, trying to sound nonchalant. He drags a shaky hand through his hair.

”Oh yes, of course, my apologies,” the voice says, a bit muffled, as if the person is moving around. ”The name’s Hermione Granger.”

Ah. A lightbulb in Draco’s head turns on. ”Miss Granger, what a pleasure. Thank you for calling, I was just thinking about my cousin, Sirius was it? Last I heard he escaped Azkaban, how thrilling.”

”Hm, yes that was quite some time ago. He’s doing well now, all the things he had been inprisoned for were a lie, so,” Granger gets cut off by someone and there is quiet mumbling. He tries to make out the words but to no luck. Instead, he focuses on the directions to the pub. Something rastles over the phone, and Granger is back. ”Well, I just thought I’d call. Harry’s been very smitten as of late.”

”How fun for him,” Draco says and hangs up. He speeds up the pace.

The next evening, Draco had just walked through the front door to his apartment when that dreadful ringtone starts again. He slams the door shut and walks to his bedroom.

”You know, usually, people don’t keep calling the wrong number, Potter,” he says and squeezes the phone between his shoulder and cheek. ”And, I would very much like a peaceful evening so if this is Granger, please spare me the speech about my own family tree.”

”Wait what?” Potter’s voice fills his ears and he closes his eyes and shivers. ”Hermione? She did what?”

Draco unclasps his robes and shrugs them off his shoulders. He starts at unbuttoning his pants and curses as he almost stumbles over them as they fall to his his ankles.

”Draco, are you okay?” Potter says, sounding concerned. ”What are you… are you undressing?”

”What an excellent observation, Potter. But don’t get your wand in a knot, this isn’t some awful sex line,” he replies and steps out of his pants. He pulls on some old pyjama pants. ”I don’t think you could afford me, if I’m honest.”

Potter laugh is loud through the phone and Draco basks in it for just a moment. He pulls on a t-shirt and flicks a folding charm at his clothes before making his way to the kitchen.

”You’re funny Draco, but what was that about Hermione? What did she do?”

”Oh Merlin Potter, don’t worry. She just called me to kindly remind me of my heritage and the fact that my family is insane, no harm done,” Draco mutters and heats up his two day old Chinese takeout with a wave of his wand.

”Oh fuck, fuck, I’m- I’m sorry Draco, really,” Potter sounds annoyed. Draco wonders if Granger is in trouble. ”I’m going to have to call you back.”

Draco hums, ”Please don’t. I’m going to be asleep in approximately fifteen minutes, and I need my precious beauty sleep. Why do you think I wake up looking perfect every day? Ugh, you understand nothing Potter, imbecile.”

Draco hears another one of Potter’s dark chuckles before he hangs up, and silently prays to Salazar that he’s not going to be woken up by the phone ringing tomorrow morning.

***

The phone doesn’t ring the next morning, or the next until its been almost two weeks since he last spoke to Potter. Bit it’s Thursday afternoon, and Harry Potter walks into Mr Mulpepper’s potions shop. Draco is up front at the register today, and Merlin how he wished he was in the back brewing something right about now.

Potter steps through the door and the bell makes a little jingle. He heads straight for the hangover potions and takes a couple of vials before looking at Draco. He watches as Potter looks him up and down, and he wonders if he knows that it’s him. If maybe Granger had told him about Draco and his family, and maybe that’s why he hadn’t called in a few weeks.

He swallows and throws a small smile at Potter. He smiles back. Okay, Draco thinks, maybe he doesn’t know.

”Just these, please,” Potter says, and puts the vials on the counter carefully. He shoves his hand in a pocket of his robes.

”That’ll be 2 galleons and 10 sickles, Potter,”

Potter’s head shoots up and his movements stop completely. They stare at each other for a few uncomfortably long seconds. Draco looks away first.

”What, forgotten how to count, have you? I really don’t have all day, we have lots of customers you know,” he snarks. Potter shakes his head and slowly, a grin lights up his face. Draco wants to strangle him.

”There’s no one here but me,” Potter says and pulls out a few galleons more than necessary and puts them on the counter between them. Draco huffs out a laugh. ”I’m sorry, I haven’t… I never called you back, work has been hectic.”

He’s still grinning. His hair is in it’s usual mess, looking like he had just had a proper shag. I want to shag him, Draco thinks. Ugh. Not fair, so not fair.

”Hm, you don’t owe me anything, Potter. I was wondering why you kept calling in the first place,” Draco says. Merlin, was his voice a bit shaky? It is totally Potter’s fault for making him nervous.

”Well, what can I say? I kind of like the arsehole that picks up,” Potter says and Draco can feel a smile growing on his own face too. He blames Potter for his future wrinkles.

”Well Potter, are you insinuating that you’ve been calling me only for my arse? I already told you, you can’t afford me,” Draco says and picks nervously at his nails. He looks down and counts out the money since Potter is too preoccupied with staring, still.

The man hums, and Draco closes his eyes briefly. “I mean, it’s a beautiful arse, don’t get me wrong. But, I think the sarcastic personality does it for me too.”

Draco lets himself laugh now, and shoves Potter lightly with a hand to his chest. He swears at Salazar for making Harry Potter so fucking fit.

“So, Draco, what do you say about a date?”

Draco is going to kill him.

Alchemy: Tiny Steps

Chapters: 22/45 Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist/Harry Potter Rating: T Relationships: Edward/Winry, Lan Fan/Ling, and May/Alphonse. Primary Characters: Edward Elric, Severus Snape Additional Tags: Crossover, Teacher!Edward, BrOtp Edward/Severus. Sassy beyond measure. Pro!Snape Series: Part 2 of 9. Summary: Part two of the Alchemy Series. Politics. Either you love it, hate it or you live it. For Alchemy Teacher Edward Elric, he lives it, hates it and loves it when he gets the upper hand. Here is to another year of hell… D/C: I do not own Harry Potter or Fullmetal Alchemist. Discord: La Red(Mesh Mash of… stuff.): https://discord.gg/KYjmVAb Alchemy Series: https://discord.gg/DejEYNJ

"One week. One week. Truth is punishing me. He is testing me." Alphonse kept muttering under his breath, as he watched Tuesday's class walked through the door of his brother's Alchemy class. Well, his class too next year. The main problem Alphonse had been that he wasn't prepared to fully take over his brother and his teaching style. He must continue on with Edward style of teaching and not his own, this is his year not his own. The reason for taking over for the week, Edward is still under guard of Madam Pomfrey's care for the semi-mild concussion to a severer one due to an unfortunate encounter with the school's poltergeist. Peeves had caused his brother to fall down some flights of stairs. There is no telling how long Edward will be decommissioned for the injury and recovery.

Edward will be okay, just needs to rest and the potions and magical remedies are helping the healing process to go faster. Here's hoping that he has a fast recovery.

With sigh, Alphonse pushed himself away from the desk he was leaning on when he heard the familiar ring of the bell. The classroom is filled to the brim with students, from first to seventh years. From the looks of it, he could already sense who has to leave and who could possibly stay. Picking up a clipboard from the desk and looked down to see that today's class focused on teaching the students the non-magical aspect in alchemy. He let out a mental sigh of relief at seeing Edward's side notes, showing that four students from the original class are in today's class, peer teaching by the looks of it.

Fred Weasley: He along with his brother, George Weasley, show a great aptitude in Alchemy. Remember who is who, they may be the same, but they are not. This Weasley still needs to have a deeper understanding the laws but still is miles ahead of his peers. It is noted that when he and his brother are together, their minds seemed to be linked together and are able to reach no bounds in their research. Warning: Chronic Pranksters.

Timothy Jerkins: Needs a huge dose of reality that not everyone is a stepping stone to supposed success. Appears to selfish and narcissistic, give him a hawk's eye and he'll be a replica to Mustang. The only difference… he makes Mustang look like a saint in terms of personality. Shows aptitude in the laws and understanding of the laws but does not understand how it fits in with the human side of it all. Warning: Unlike Mustang, he actually sees people as true chess pieces.

Kasey State: Where do I start? She grew up in an orphanage, said place made no stance that they even cared for her in her physical, mental, emotional and… there's no end on how much they fucked her up. She shows great critical thinking skills but shows little to no skills in non-magical subjects but is more than willing to over pile her work to get ahead. Talk to the house-elves to have food 'randomly' appear by her whenever she looks hungry and ensure it's easy on the stomach. If you suspect anything, inform her Head of House, she'll take care of it.

Elfrida Hopkirk: Very studious but always leaves everything for the last minute. It's that Ravenclaw side of her, having the brains and smarts gives them the excuse of doing things last minute with the assumption they fully understand the subject. She get's it but her heads is stuck in the clouds with that mindset. Needs to understand non-magical concepts and perhaps move her to Wednesday class. (If you are reading this Al, at least I know when to ask questions until I fully understand what the hell I'm doing before I slack off. She doesn't.)Kasey State: Grew up in an orphanage that sees her nothing more than a paycheck they are paid to supposedly to take care of her. Gave her a shitty education before coming here to this place. I swear, when I first saw her, she looked like she was starved. Have the house-elves set out extra meals for her. Needs a huge refresher in her studies but is very eager to learn. Warning: Don't visit the orphanage. Have Madam Sprout do it.

Alphonse couldn't help but smile softly at his brother's notes on his students, noticing the finer details in them. Details that need to be seen. Fred will be no problem, give him advanced work and have him help out the others. Timothy would help him, but needs to understand the human concepts of life. He'll have to break Elfrida out of that habit if hers. Kasey… Edward had once previously mentioned a student that grew up in an orphanage. Seeing said student in front of him, he could see how desperately she is trying to herself in her clothing, and failing desperately. After traveling for so long as he did and seeing the consequences of war, starvation is one of the many atrocities in humanity.

"Welcome to Alchemy, my name is Professor Elric, Mr. Elric your slated teacher is currently indisposed. Yes, we are related. No, we are not related in that way. He is my older brother. I am engaged. I am very happy with her." Alphonse couldn't help but show his utter disappointment how more than half the class visibly deflate. Seems like a lot of his fans are in class and now has to find a way to weed out the fans from the actual students.

-.-

Severus sat beside Edward's bed, a book in hand and a cup of black tea in the other. It was his turn to take care of Edward when Alphonse isn't around to make him stay in bed. Fortunately he was put into a magic induced sleep and it appears it is doing wonders for his healing process. Even so, here's hoping there won't be any long term effects. On the night table besides the bed is a package of stone cakes sent by Hagrid, one of the many forms of apologies from the half-giant.

There was no need to apologize, Edward in his medical induced haze that it wasn't anyone's fault. Animal's just have a tendency on harming him for the hell of it. This only caused Hagrid to burst into tears once more.

"What are we going to do with you…" Severus sighed, placing the now empty cup of tea on the night table and putting the book on the bed. He continued on talking as if Edward was actually listening and responding instead of being unconscious. "Not even a month in, and you already got yourself in this condition… don't give me that look. You have a tendency to get hurt, lost, maimed, insulting the wrong person, or a combination, which results with you in his sort of outcome… What did I say? Don't give me that look… Ugh… you are impossible."

-.-

"Should we accept this proposal?"

"If we do, it would allow us to put more heirs up front to become the next emperor or empress."

"He still has to pick…"

"Instead of possibly only have one choice from ever respective clan, there would be more. Everyone has an equal opportunity, from the smallest to the largest of clans."

"The only prerequisite he has is that they must attend the new school the Emperor is currently creating with the help of Amestris and Magical Great Britain."

"I like this proposal… providing an equal opportunity and dealing with that bothersome marriage law."

"Don't get me started… The Emperor's father keep taking our daughters, sisters, nieces and granddaughters without much of a care."

"Let's not forget… even the ones that were married or promised to someone were not off limits for him…"

"What if he does the same as his father?"

"Don't make me laugh. I've seen that Amestrian threaten him that if he ever does anything to offend that woman's honor, then he will be the one to beat him senseless."

"Can he do that?"

"From what I've heard, he could... He's not the only one who threatened Emperor Ling."

-.-

Mustang mentally grumbled to himself as he left Grumman's office, he was just kicked out of his leader's office while his Captain stayed behind. It was suspicious to say the least. Maybe there is something going on without his knowledge? There are constant whispers behind his and Hawkeye's back, all of them revolving around this upcoming law that will permanently change the military. Whatever it is… it has to be big…

-.-

"I had made a list of all possibly candidates for once the Anti-Fraternization laws are abolished, so that you know who I approve from greatest to least." Grumman handed his granddaughter a long list of possible candidates for supposed marriage.

Riza's hand were shaking at what her grandfather had just told her, the answers to all those whispers, innuendos, and so on. Her grandfather, the Fuhrer of Amestris, is removing one of the biggest laws the Military has for who knows how long. The only problem is that… why is he giving her a list of candidates for marriage?

"I am going to be officially announcing everyone you are my granddaughter, to avoid having issues of my own."

Riza gave the old man a deadpanned expression, she swore that Roy took a lot after Grumman than she cares to admit. "The list?"

"What? I am giving you my approval to anyone you choose from the list as a possible partner in the future and not worry about me. Plus, once word get's out who you are to me, there would be marriage proposals just for your connection to myself. I want to make sure you know who would be a good possible candidate for yourself."

"Why did you have General Mustang leave the room? Shouldn't he hear the news?"

"I'll leave that for you, I'll be making everything official at the end of the month."

"Thank you?"

-.-

"I'm the twelfth person on this list?!" Roy didn't bother to hide his look of utter disbelief and dismay at the list Riza just presented him with. "How in Truth's name did Havoc get to be number four while I'm twelve! And both Armstrong's are the first two on the list! ugh!"

Jean, for his own part, slowly hid underneath his desk to avoid his head officer's wrath.

"Sir… you're missing the point." Vato called out from his spot in the office, he was scanning through the paperwork that was required to officially abolished the anti-fraternization law.

"How are you above me by one!" Roy called out to Vato, pointing accusingly at him. "How are all of you above me!"

"You could see his pride being demolished bit by bit…" Heymans whispered out to his comrades with a chuckle but stopped with Riza glared at all of them.

"They should just make it official now…" Kain sighed.

"I'm just waiting until Hawkeye slap some sense into him." Jean whispered out from his spot from underneath his desk.

Roy snapped his fingers and ignited the list up in flames. He promptly ran his hands through his hair in frustration. So, this was what was being hidden from Riza and himself, Truth… he already had plans to get rid of that law down the line. This puts a wrench into his plans. His plans involve… it involves Riza helping him bring it down under Maes's name.

Who was their main supporter…

"…I wanted to romantically propose to you…"

"Sir, the law hasn't been abolished yet."

"Is that a yes or no?"

"You haven't asked me anything yet."

Hello 👋 Do you have any recommendations for stories written with accurate, in-character Tom? Not necessarily from his POV. Please and thank you! 😊😘

Hey anon! Thank you so much for the ask!

“In character” Tom is relative. I’m assuming you mean from what we know about him in Cannon. So, let us take a look at what we know about Tom Riddle from cannon shall we?

We are going to throw out what we know about VOLDEMORT, because after Tom started splitting his soul, he practically became a different person.

So what do we know about Tom? The answer is not much really. J.K. only introduced us to him a handful of times, not truly interested in giving his whole story. Harry needed a villain, and that is where Tom came in. He was just there with little snippets of what made him villainous

We DO know that he is handsome (thank you Harry), that he is charming, and intelligent. From the one time we actually met him, we know he likes to monologue. He was well liked, was a prefect and later became head boy. We know that he was ambitious and wanted to live forever. Also know that he was the heir of Slytherin, liked to bully people in the orphanage, and take trophies (psychopathic tendencies) .We also know he killed his father, framed his uncle for the murder of his father and family.

So! Keeping these few things we know about Cannon Tom. I complied a list of MY favorites that should hit these points. Hope it helps!

~Kyoki

The Diary by LittleMulattoKitten, weestarmeggie

Rated M| WIP| Non Cannon |61K

A Change in Priorities by Seanymphe

Rated M| WIP| 95K

Tom Riddle develops a fixation on his new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Granger. What begins as fascination slowly morphs into obsession.

Blood and Gold by ObsidianPen

Rated M| WIP| 78k

The true time-turner was slammed savagely into Hermione’s throat. It shattered against her neck, bits of glass and gold piercing into her skin. The last thing she saw before blackness consumed her was a plume of metallic dust and vitreous fragments, tiny prisms dancing behind her eyelids.

(In which Hermione accidentally ends up in 1950, pitted against an ascending Dark Lord in his prime, caught in the entanglement of pureblood politics, dark magic, and Tom Riddle’s interest)

Fostering a Nightmare by NinjaFairy

Rated M| WIP| 111K

A ten-year-old foster child named Tom Riddle showed up on the Granger’s front doorstep with his social worker in the summer of 1990. Hermione spent the following years adjusting to life with her new foster brother; so, she never realized how often he kept an eye on her. “I’ve always watched you, Hermione; and you’ve always been mine.” [Magical AU]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang by LovelyVillain

Rated M|WIP| 207K

Hermione hasn’t seen Tom since he disappeared from Wool’s Orphanage eight years ago, taking a piece of her heart and soul with him. Until the day he comes back, the bloody corpse of Lucius Malfoy at his feet and honey dripping from his lips. British Intelligence Officer Harry Potter leads the investigation to catch a highly skilled killer wreaking havoc across Europe, and Hermione is caught between her heart and conscience. AH AU Tomione

His Persephone by Reneehart

Rated M| WIP|216K

Hermione Granger is in a losing war, one causing the world to fall apart at the seams. Ever since the Battle of Hogwarts, things have only grown more dim, with Voldemort creating even more horcruxes and his army growing larger still. The order has been disbanded and those she loved are either dead or soon to be dead. But even when the world is at its darkest, light will find a way to break free, and she may be the key to turning the war around- long before it took a turn for the worst.

“1943? And you’d like me to…kill Tom Riddle?” Dumbledore shook his head, that annoying twinkle glowing thrice as bright as before. “No, my dear. I’d like you to join him.”

To both Defy and Define Darkness by Shadowedcries

Rated M| WIP| 48K

“That hurt,” The feel of his voice against her ear sent an unexpected shiver down her spine. Hot lace that trickled up her nerves, more inviting than her heart had ever hoped for. Tom laced his fingers through the hair at the base of her neck, then pulled until her neck arched up towards him. “It’s not nice to shoot the man who just saved your life, Hermione.”

“It’s not nice to kill people, Tom.” She snarled in return.

(while I wait for my wrist to stop being weird, I'll inflict more of my Team Hiruzen Hogwarts AU on you all; here comes the derail canon train, choo choo; no one is safe)

----

"I still think the Orochimaru kid is the Heir."

"Potter can literally talk to snakes."

The rumor mill could not decide on who the Heir of Slytherin could be. Harry was just relieved he wasn't the sole target and that nobody really wanted to cross Orochimaru. Or Tsunade. Or Jiraiya.

Actually, no one wanted the ire of any of the exchange students. They all remembered what happened with Lockhart on the Quidditch pitch.

Harry smiled as he took a moment to replay it in his head.

---

Tsunade looked up and watched as Orochimaru entered the Great Hall and wandered towards her. He was holding a rat tightly in his hand. It looked like it was desperately trying to free itself as it squeaked in terror.

Tsunade really didn’t want to know, but it was probably her job as a good teammate to ask, “What are you up to now?”

“Hmm?” Orochimaru looked at the rat as if he just noticed it for the first time, “Oh, I thought I’d use it in a dissection.”

“Huh, alright.” She was about to turn back to her reading when she paused, suspicious. "Hold on. Where did you get that rat?" she asked.

"I found it," Orochimaru said.

Tsunade arched a brow. "Uh huh. And where exactly did you find it?"

"...In a cage in the dorm room."

"In a cage—Oro, that's someone's pet! You can't just take someone's pet!"

"I see. That's bad?"

"Yes, that's bad."

Behind them, they heard Ron Weasley ask, "Has anyone seen Scabbers?"

Tsunade and Orochimaru looked at each other and then the rat. The rat continued to squeal.

Tsunade started to quickly usher Orochimaru towards the door as she hissed, "If we leave right now, maybe he won't notice us."

They booked it out of the entryway. Tsunade made a hurried greeting to Luna Lovegood as they escaped down the hall, "Good morning, Luna, you never saw us, okay?"

Luna bobbed her head. "Okay. I'll pretend I never saw you with a man-rat."

They paused in their escape. "A man-rat?" Tsunade asked.

"Oh yes. He's a rat but also a person. Likely transformed in a Norwegian anti-witch campaign covered up by the British Ministry and the luxury hotel industry, who to this day refuse to admit the existence of Potion 87." Luna hummed in thought, then added, “Or he’s an animagus hiding in a boy’s dorm.”

Well. The second option sounded as sensible as any other magic shit. Tsunade sneered at the rat. "Ugh. Of course the rat's some secret magic pervert."

Orochimaru looked down at the rat in newfound scrutiny. It renewed its efforts to escape and he squeezed tighter. "Fascinating. And how shall we make him a person again?"

---

Harry watched as Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Luna Lovegood trekked back into the Great Hall. They marched right up to the staff table, with Jiraiya scrambling out of his seat to join them.

He squinted. Was Orochimaru holding—

"Hey, what are they doing with Scabbers?" Ron asked, alarmed.

Harry shrugged, "I don't know. I guess they found him?"

Hermione placated Ron. "I'm sure they're bringing him to a professor first for a good reason. Let's wait and see what happens."

They turned to watch the staff table.

"Professor McGonagall," Tsunade said, "we have a question. Is there a way to reveal a person as an animagus when they are in their animal form?"

"Well, yes. One would use an untransfiguration spell that is a distant variant on the Homorphus—."

"Ah, yes," Lockhart interrupted, "The Homorphus Charm. Very complex. I had to use that on the Wagga Wagga Werewolf in order to—"

"Thank you, Professor Lockhart," McGonagall snapped. She glared at Lockhart until he reluctantly returned to his oatmeal, sulking.

She continued, "...It is a distant variant on the Homorphus Charm. Does that answer your question?"

Orochimaru held up the rat to McGonagall, "May we have a practical demonstration?"

"That is not exactly the most appropriate request during breakfast,” McGonagall chided.

"Please?” Luna insisted with wide eyes, “It would clear up so many wrackspurts, Professor."

“Uhh, yeah, what she said,” Jiraiya said, “please?”

McGonagall caved to the four pleading looks and sighed, "Oh, very well. Just this once."

The moment Professor McGonagall performed the spell, the rat transformed into a rather ugly and mousey man.

McGonagall was so startled she stunned him with her strongest hex. And so did half of the staff table.

Tsunade kicked the stunned man in the head to make sure he was out. Insisting he join in, Jiraiya also kicked him in the head.

After a long moment of shock, the entire Hall erupted into shouts.

"Who is that?"

"Good lord, it's Peter Pettigrew!"

"He's supposed to be dead!"

"I thought Sirius Black killed him!"

"That guy was Scabbers?" Ron shrieked. All of the Weasley kids looked completely grossed out. The thought made Harry's skin crawl, too.

The shouts eventually died down to animated chatter as the staff worked to deal with the mess. Students from every House mingled around the Gryffindor table, offering baffling condolences to Harry. Even some Slytherins rolled up to comment.

"Wow, Potter," said Blaise Zabini, "maybe your godfather isn't such a bloodthirsty murderer after all."

Harry blinked, "I have a godfather?"

The students around him gave varying stares of disbelief. Even Malfoy looked incredulous. "Honestly, Potter, no one told you?"

Harry sighed, deeply annoyed. "I don't get told a lot of things, Malfoy. Story of my life."

"Sheesh," Jiraiya wandered over to chime in, "what kind of assholes don't tell a kid about his own family?"

Zabini frowned, "I hope Black gets good representation for a retrial. My mother knows some good solicitors."

Susan Bones from Hufflepuff piped up, "And you could write to my auntie at the Ministry about it. She would help you too."

Harry smiled, "Thanks, I think I will."

Then they heard Madam Pomfrey suddenly gasp, "He has a Dark Mark!"

And the shouting started again.

---

Harry watched as a group of aurors hauled Pettigrew away through the Great Hall. As other aurors began to question the still-hysteric students and staff, Harry turned to Hermione and asked, “Could you help me write a couple letters?”

Let me make something clear: Draco is the rightful Black heir, NOT HARRY POTTER.

I literally can't stand seeing Harry as the Black heir. As far as I'm concerned, Sirius Black was disowned and has no right to the Black inheritance. Funny how people like Sirius hate their families but have no problems inheriting the sweet family money!

As the last recognized male offspring of the Black line, Draco should be the rightful heir of the Black estate (and maybe the Lestrange estate if Rudolphus does not have any other male relatives).

Draco is more of a Black than Harry freaking Potter will ever be! And no one can tell me otherwise!

We all read stories about Harry all good/ All Evil or grey. But, We have never read about a Harry Potter who desires Power and Wealth of a king/god, was an anti-hero, and cared only about his few friends/followers and those he considers his family. How, would this Harry react to the Marvel universe and the Wizarding World. Noble Harry.

I agree with your Jily thoughts but wondering if you could talk a bit more about it? Why did James bother wasting all that time chasing Lily? Was she just that pretty? Were they ever happy or truly in love? Why did she say yes? If the war didn't happen who would have Jily ended up with? I'd like to think someone like Andromeda (not her exactly, but someone from a pureblood family who held non racist values) for James and i dunno maybe a muggle for Lily? Considering muggleborns arent exactly set up for success and I cant see Lily being okay with living as a second class citizen

For reference, some heretical thoughts on James and Lily's marriage. Also some thoughts on James which include some thoughts on his relationship with Lily.

And you really want me to get flayed over the internet, don't you anon?

Well, I guess that's what I'm here for. So here we go, hopefully people very upset by this sort of thing have their anti filters up.

Why Did James Bother Wasting All that Time Chasing After Lily?

For what it's worth, especially when they're teenagers before real life sets in, I do think James likes Lily.

She's very pretty, which certainly helps, but she's also very driven, very smart, and seems to be very personable (though it does not seem as if she is close with many).

Lily has a lot of likeable qualities beyond just her face that James could be interested in.

That said, there's also her background. I think, especially for a young James in Hogwarts, Lily being muggleborn would make her very appealing.

By pursuing her, he is actively spitting in the face of the Blacks, the Malfoys, and pretty much name your smarmy pureblood family. More, Lily is... not the token muggleborn per se, but the golden standard.

She's pretty, very smart, achieves very good results, again is personable, and all around pleasant. She's the muggleborn that defies the rules and you can take to parties and say, "Wow, look how amazing muggleborns are!"

Compare her to Snape, who is a halfblood, comes from an abusive household, is impoverished, is not good looking, and is not personable.

Notice that James and friends torment the living hell out of Snape, but it's cool, they're progressive because James likes Lily.

And then there's also the challenge of it.

Lily keeps saying no.

Rather than get discouraged, this just encourages James, as it means he's not trying hard enough. James seems to be the guy who likes the chase, if he wasn't, then he would have given up years ago as you said.

Were They Ever Happy or Truly in Love?

I imagine there was a time when they were happy.

They did date shortly in Hogwarts and it must have gone well enough for the relationship to survive graduation. If it was unbearably awful they would have broken up with each other long before that point.

Now, do I think Lily knew the full extent of how much James and pals harassed Snape? No.

Do I imagine Lily had to put up with a lot of talk about how progressive James and Pals are because Sirius has an ACDC t-shirt? Yes.

Do I think Lily's life without Snape proved very bleak and she faced a bleaker future with prospects of unemployment and poverty? Yes.

Do I imagine that Lily got in the way of bro-time for James? Well, he probably made bro-time happen anyway, but she must have to some extent and I'm sure Sirius asked him, "Dude?! What happened to us?!"

But again, if they really were miserable together, they wouldn't have made it to graduation.

In love?

Well, it's hard to say, but I'm inclined to say no.

In Hogwarts they're too young, they don't know enough about each other. They might be riding high on puppy love, maybe, but that's not the same thing.

What we see outside of Hogwarts points to constant stress and hardship that would ruin even the most functional relationship. The small glimpses we do have into their marriage then (that James would run off while in hiding with the invisibility cloak, risking all of their lives, for no reason) is not good.

I imagine as the realities of being in hiding, of having a prophesied child, sunk in their relationship fell into complete disrepair.

If they were in love, I don't think love could survive that, at least, not with these two.

Why Did She Say Yes?

God, you people are going to kill me.

Well, first, Lily as a muggleborn has no prospects and after losing Snape she has no friends.

Lily's last few years of Hogwarts are desperately lonely, James seems to have toned it down and appears to be one of the few purebloods sympathetic to her, and he really seems to like her. He has never wavered in liking her once over many years.

He seems like he's changed.

Perhaps, she can give him a chance.

I imagine Lily at first tentatively agrees to go on a date, and he is charming and funny, so one date turns into two and then they're officially dating.

As for marriage.

... Yeah I just have to say it, shotgun wedding.

They get married and have a child very quickly, and granted, that seems to be the norm in the wizarding world but remember their circumstances.

Both Lily and James are active fighters in Dumbledore's illegal vigilante group, neither appears to have a career (James being old money doesn't have to but I imagine Lily tried (and failed) to find one).

Lily is muggleborn. I don't care how progressive James' parents are, as the heir of a very wealthy and established pureblood family I'm sure they looked at this red-headed muggleborn without a galleon to her name and just died of a heart attack.

True, James was their only child and the product of many difficult years conceiving, and he's from a more progressive family but...

I just see the Potters and many other of the 'lighter' pureblood families having more of the philosophy of "Muggleborns should absolutely go to Hogwarts, get an education, and have a place in society. But don't invite them over for dinner."

That James is allowed to marry Lily very quickly, with seemingly little fuss, with seemingly no obligation of turning down a previously arranged marriage (though the surviving Marauders could have left out such details when recapping things to Harry), and how quickly Harry is born in the times he's born in...

Shotgun wedding.

If the War Hadn't Happened Who Would James and Lily Ended Up With?

Well, I think the shotgun wedding would have happened regardless. But let's say that's not in the books and that there's not a war disrupting things either.

I imagine the relationship doesn't work out as they realize they have different interests and are too different of people. There's very little tying them together.

James likely marries whoever his parents arrange for him to marry. A daughter of a well-to-do established, pureblood line. Which of these women this would be is anyone's guess, but somebody. Probably not any of the Black sisters as they're already accounted for.

As for Lily, I imagine she remains single for a good while. Everyone she knows in her age range is from Hogwarts, this world is very small, and she's probably not going to end up with any of them for the issues you list.

Purebloods really don't get it. The closest are... Arthur Weasley. And when he and Sirius Black riding motorcycles are the closest your culture gets to respect, you're in for a rough dating scene.

If she does end up in a relationship it's with somebody outside of canon or non-obvious.

(And look at me not plugging my ship because I know it's ridiculous. Be proud of me readers.)

Once she learns Voldemort's true ambitions, however, Veronica flees—but not before she learns of Regulus' death and Wormtail's betrayal of the Potters, information she feels obligated to pass on to the only Black heir, Sirius.

Now that “Full House” has been up for a few days, I can officially share this simple family tree of the Cosma and Fairywinkle families in my fanfics! Because naturally I just assume that if you don’t read my fanfic updates .2 seconds after they’re posted, you obviously don’t care if you come across any spoilers.

> Yvainna von Strangle is the Fairy Elder. She never had children, but the von Strangles took her family name to honor her when they devoted their lives to serving her. Cosmo was confirmed to be a distant cousin of Jorgen’s in the episode “Cosmo Rules”.

> Grandpa Gonzo and Nana Cadabra are confirmed relatives of Cosmo and Wanda revealed in their canon family trees.

> As much as I despise “The Fairy Beginning”, Cosmo’s uncle and aunt Harry and Potter are 100% canon, and he WILL be running away from home to stay with them during Frayed Knots. What would make him do that, I wonder...?

> Black stars represent those whose Anti-Fairy counterparts are “royals”.

> Brown stars are for those who show the long brownie nose trait. We learned Cosmo has it in the episode, “The Boy Who Would Be Queen”.

> Cosmo’s dad mentioned he had a brother in “A Grain of Truth”.

> I dunno if anyone still protests Mama Cosma’s name just meaning “Cosmo’s mother” anymore, but her mailbox says Cosma, so I treat it as a legitimate surname. Her husband died when Cosmo was two, and she kept his name.

> Wanda discussed her will o’ the wisp heritage, being a descendant of Ilisa Maddington through Fennel’s line, in “Temptation”. Not included: Kylia’s other relatives. Apart from me mentioning once that Anti-Wanda has eleven uncles (and presumably a lot of cousins), they’re not very important. They might get cameos at family gatherings, though.

> Crystalli, Jasmine, and Lyren are Poof’s second cousins. We haven’t seen them in my fanfics yet, but their counterparts appeared in “Step Back” and will show up again later in the 130 Prompts. They’re among Foop’s rivals to the throne; his status is “heir presumptive”, not “heir apparent”, meaning he can be displaced as heir if it’s determined he isn’t suitable to be High Count. This could be for many reasons, such as being deemed a threat to Anti-Fairies, if it’s decided that having an alternate personality makes him too unstable, or if it’s discovered that he’s had a color-eyed baby before his coronation as High Count. The risk of losing his inheritance is one thing that keeps his evil-doing in check.

Dotted lines represent a period of many generations.

Everything else should be self-explanatory.

All the cards on the table, a few people were left off... we’ll get to them later with a much prettier family tree. Gonna draw ALL the family!

#Oh wow I wonder where the Cadmean Vixen and Laelaps joke is going hmm gee #Why are all my swan maidens boys?#ridwriting #FAIRIES!#Dragonfly parents #Frayed Knots #The toughest tag #Purple hippie dragonfly #The bat with the hat #The best bat queen #Nerdy blue bat son #Alternate bat prince #Family tree
