CUDDLES 💚💚
An: Just a little drabble I thought of randomly
*Ominis and MC are sitting on the couch by the fire after a long day*
Ominis: *Reading with his wand*
MC: ......Ominis?
Ominis: Hmmmm?
MC: *Closes her book and yawns* I feel so tired...and cold.
Ominis: *Looks up to MC* Oh, well why dont you head up to bed, Ill be right up.
MC: *Frowns because she doesn't want to go up bed yet* Hows the book?
Ominis: *Sighs* Well the history of muggles is quite strange but interesting turns out they have a lot in common with-Oh.
MC: *Interupts him by crawling over the couch and straddling him*
Ominis: *Puts the book down and immediately rests his hands on top of her thighs*
MC: *Sighs at his warmth* Go on..
Ominis: *Chuckles* What, you would like me to continue my boring take on this book?
MC: *Her head rises from his chest before she leans forwards and kisses his nose* I never said that. I just want to listen while I suck the warmth from you.
Ominis: *smirks before he lightly smacks her ass*
MC: *Giggles* Hey!
Ominis: *Smiles* Just know that I am pretty comfortable now, so now your stuck.
MC: *Rests her head against his head and smiles* Oh dear, looks like I have no choice.
* Ominis reaches to the side and grabs a blanket before draping it over MC on top of him*
Ominis: *Smirks* Afraid not. Might as well get comfortable then. *wraps arms around MC waist and scoots her closer*
MC: *Snuggles up close to him* So, whats so interesting about muggles?
Ominis: The way they function in their day to day life without magic for one is intriguing. Their technology is very unique to try and compensate for their hardships.
MC: I cant tell you how shocked I was to find potions like wiggenwalds. Muggles have to rest for weeks for wounds to heal that fast.
Ominis: I forget sometimes that you grew up in the muggle world.
MC: *Smiles* Yeah, its not all bad. You'll find no matter what people are the same. There good, bad and in between. I suppose I dont get why the wizarding world looks down on the muggles so much, if anything we should be amazed at how they survive without magic. Imagine if we didnt have any.
Ominis: *Tucks hers hair and listens attentively* You make a very good point darling.
MC:.....Why dont you tell me what you think? Id love to hear it.
*Ominis smiles as he continues to voice his thoughts for a while before he hears light snoring and realized MC had fallen asleep*
Ominis: *Hugs her close and leans down to kiss her temple* What did I do to deserve you....

I use Tarot as apart of my spiritual practice and for personal comfort :) i think the most brutal thing that's happened is like. actually speaking with dead relatives + deities coming through and this one time someone said i predicted a death but *i genuinely didnt*, you cant do that with tarot, but i got a card called "The Tower" in that reading that signifies something that's supposed to happen and feels traumatizing but you'll learn and grow from that experience and they informed me of what had happened in their life. everytime someone tells me im being spot on or the thing i predicted ACTUALLY happening is so so insane and fulfilling to me.
Do you have a favorite myth or God in Norse mythos?
!! I'd love to read your book, maybe you can read it to me sometime since I don't speak Swedish, unfortunately ^^' ATM I am reading through Odin: Ecstasy, Runes, and Norse Magic. It's in English but I'm trying to learn old Nordic pronunciations and words! I've also been looking into a few other resources my friends who are fellow Norse Pagans have sent me! I know Odin sees me as a newcomer that's still learning, so I'd love to take any information you might have if you're open to sharing it! ; w ;
OK Sorry this is like. so rambly ahaha. you're really easy to talk to!!
8 OF PENTACLES:
Pentacles is the earth suite, it brings forth light to matters within the more physical matters of the realm. You need to be grounded here. In order to make peace- you need to put in genuine hard work and effort- which can be hard. The shadows you face are big, and loom in over you and remaining calm in the face of that can prove to be a challenge, but it's not something you can't do! The guy here is at peace and diligent as he gets into the process of creating something great.
I think that this card gives you a good energy to begin the process of making that peace within yourself and is showcasing a good start to beginning that journey. Doing things that heal your inner child, like doing things you couldn't do or experience during that time- forgiving yourself for wrongdoings, accepting you can't change others, etc. Coming to terms with the cards you've been dealt in life and appreciating what's in front of you can help. Know you have the power within you to control yourself and make what you want to see, it's a matter of labor to build that reality up. Facing your demons is simply some work- which I'm sure you're used to since I know you're always working extra hard to pick up Toki's slack :3 (/joke /light hearted, he's a great guitarist!)
QUEEN OF WANDS; REVERSED
The Queen of Wands is a very determined, powerful lady who gets her shit done and is fiercely by your side! This energy is in it's reversal, meaning it's lessened or there's some sort of blockage here. You're *used* to this kind of energy from fans, and you're looking for something more genuine that's coming from yourself. This card is reminding you that it's in there, try to think of ways in which you genuinely feel validated through a less superficial lens. You might be able to find some peace within yourself through aiding other people, as well. There might be a lot of problems surrounding you and being able to be someone that can fix or ease it for those around you might help.
4 OF SWORDS; REVERSED
This card is usually about BIG NAPS, BABEY. You might be feeling isolated from others- I know sometimes people think you're a fertility God or something? You're on another level, and every now and then it's good to come down from that, and be by yourself for a little bit.
You might need some alone time to meditate and really get comfortable with yourself and the thoughts that come in through your head- whether they be positive, negative, anxiety inducing, or something stupid or ingenious.I think the energy here is reversed because it's something that's kind of hard for you at the moment? To just, sit with yourself. Sit with your thoughts, and either accept them or just give em a simple "huh that's weird." and move on if they're like, especially disturbing or something! thats where I think some of that work from the 8 of Pentacles comes into play- just accepting what comes into your mind during the silence of it all and going about your merry way after it.
anxiety can be something really hard to deal with, but the best course of action sometimes is to not act on anything in the moment and just breathe your way through it, and accept stuff for what they are and redirect yourself. Soul search so you can obtain some solid truths about yourself so you can know exactly who it is you are with certainty, (like. example! you're someone with a sarcastic set of humor.) and know how you'd react with certainty in any situations (hypothetical or otherwise) with confidence!
Push forward, no action is needed- you just need to take yourself to greater heights with this journey with some stillness and meditation.
OVERALL; I think yes- you are more than capable of finding peace with who you are and i think you'll get to that point! This just seems to be a description of how to get there as well as what might be in your way of that and how to get through it in order to obtain that peace. i hope this was ok! ;w; if you have any questions feel free to let me know!
Tumblr media
ooc:
This was an amazing reading, and I took my time really reading through it. I will come back to this but this must be posted so that people can see how great and wonderful a job you did!

Only You.
masterlist taglist
draco malfoy x reader | angst | fluff | smut | req.
summary : you and draco got into a big fight but he make it up to you.
Tumblr media
“why cant you believe me, y/n? how many times do i have to prove it to you that you are the only one for me!” draco shouted loudly slamming his fist onto the desk.
they were having a big fight after what y/n just saw in the common room, pansy parkinson was sitting dangerously close to draco, flirting with him. but pansy has taking things too far this time, she was placing a kiss on his neck and y/n saw the whole scene.
draco reacted fast, pushing her off of him but y/n already ran to her dorm. he cursed at pansy before running after his girlfriend.
“how am i supposed to believe you if you yourself let her lips going near your skin?!” y/n yelled back, throwing her hands in the air.
“for godsake i didnt let her touch me i pushed her away as soon as she crossed the line! but you already gone before you see what i did!”
“yeah? but you still let her pressing her body to you and you dont even seem bothered by it!” she was still bothered by the fact that pansy dare to flirt with her man.
“what the fuck?! i dont even noticed she was doing that? okay you’re just being overdramatic right now.” he turned his head to her.
“overdramatic you said? as if you wont act the same when you see harry flirting with me!”
“its totally different, you know he is my enemy!” he snapped in disbelief.
“so what? he also happened to be my friend!” she snapped back at him letting her anger out.
they both went silent for a few seconds before draco took a big sigh and stand up, anger still plastered on his face.
“fine, believe what you want. i’m so tired of you!” and with that he walked out of the room slamming the door shut loudly.
y/n flinched at his harsh action, regret immediately filling her. did she really being overdramatic? but he would do the same too.
tears rolled down onto her face remembering his last sentence, he’s tired with me.
she curled her body under her blanket, burying her face onto her pillow letting her tears wetting it.
>>>>>
two hours passed, and draco hasnt come back to her dorm. y/n cried harder when she realized she had messed everything up.
draco on the other side isn't doing any better, he was calming his anger down in his own room, reading a book but his mind always coming back to her. he lets his ego get the best of him and choosing to stay in his room longer.
he continued reading but her face flashed to his mind. then he rememberes the last argument he threw at her. “i’m tired of you.” fuck- how can he said that? the words obviously empty. he quickly pulling a shirt on panicking at the thought she must be crying now.
he grabbed his wand and casted a spell that make a white rose appeared on his hand then he made a way out to her dorm.
>>>>>
“y/n love, its me draco..” draco knocks softly on the door.
he waited for seconds, worry filled his face as she hasnt respond him. he twisted the doorknob only to see y/n curling up to her bed with her face buried on the pillow.
“love..” he approached her, sitting on the edge of her bed, his other hand shakily pulling her wrist to sit up.
his heart broke when he saw her face, eyes red because of the tears and her body shook due to her sobbing. he wrapped her in his arm burying her face onto his chest. his hand stroking her hair softly making her sobbed harder.
“sshh.. calm down love, i’m here..” he rubbed her back and placing soft kisses to her head.
“i’m so sorry draco.. i’m so sorry i upset you, i’m so sorry i’m tiring you” y/n look up to him still hiccups.
“no darling i swear you're not. i’m sorry i said that my love, it meant nothing i promise i just said it out of anger” he cupped her face, wiping her tears with his thumbs and give kisses all over her face to calm her down.
“i shouldnt have accused you, dray..”
“its okay darling.. its over now i’m here, we’re okay. besides you were right, i would act the same if i was in your position.” draco reached beside him and handing her the white rose.
“here, your favorite.” he kissed the tip of her nose making her smile.
y/n brought the rose to her nose sniffing it, the scent could always calming her down.
“thank you so much draco..” she wrapped her arms around his neck burying her face on the crook of his neck.
“you know i love you, right?” he tucked her hair behind her ear, tilting her face up to him.
“i know and i love you too dray..” she looks at him through her eyelashes letting him putting the rose to her vase.
“good. let me show you how much i love you, let me make it up to you princess..” he closed the gap between them, catching her lips in his, savouring her taste like he couldnt get enough of her.
y/n slowly laid back on her bed pulling draco on top of her without breaking the kiss. she let him exploring her mouth, heavy pants fill the room as the kiss heated and get deeper.
“i adore you so much my love.. you have completely stole my heart” he said as he broke the kiss and lowering it down to her neck, sucking on her sweet spot.
“draco..” she tilted her head back allowing more access for her boyfriend, her hand grasped onto his hair.
“may i?” she opened her eyes and look at him who tugging at the bottom of her shirt.
“yes dray, please..” she said allowing draco to take it off of her.
draco take her shirt off of her as soon as he gets his permission then he takes off his own, he groaned when he saw her not wearing a bra.
“you’re so beautiful princess” his lips instantly latched onto one of her nipple suckling while he twirled the other in his fingers.
“mhmm dray..” she arched her back as she feels his warm tongue swirling around her hard bud, his free hand playing with the bands of her shorts.
draco plopped her wet breasts out of his mouth, looking into her eyes when he was about to pull her shorts down. she nodded eagerly lifting her hips to help him.
“fuck.. looking delicious as always, i could eat you out for the rest of my life, doll” he began to eat her out like a starved man, licking her glistening folds and sucking on her sensitive clit making her body jolted out.
“dray..” she choked out of air at his sudden move, her hands pulling him close between her legs while he gripped tightly on her thighs spreading her legs wider.
all draco could think now is just her, her taste, and for her pleasure. he was making it up to her, but this was for his pleasure too. he would do anything to have her in his mouth.
he inserts 2 digits of his fingers into her slowly, stretching her out and thrusting them into her making the girl squirming there and then.
“fuck dray i’m close..” y/n cried out moving uncontrollably as he curled his fingers inside her hitting her spot making the coil tightened.
draco sped up his pace, both of his fingers and tongue helping her to finally reach her high. the slurping sounds and moans of him and her making her face heated.
“oh- draco..” y/n moans his name out loud as her high snapped hard through her body making her legs spasmed.
“you taste so good princess, i can't get enough of you..” he brought his fingers into his mouth sucking on her taste. closing his eyes and humming at it making her blushes madly and butterflies filling her.
draco kicked off his sweatpants, hissing as his cock slapped up to his lower abdomen, precum oozing out of it.
he pulled her hips closer to him, positioning himself at her entrance, lining his cock on her cunt making him grunted.
“you ready, love?”
“yes dray..” with that he pushes into her slowly, letting his cock inch by inch disappeared inside of her, both of them were moaning each other over and over again.
draco let y/n adjust for few seconds after being balls deep inside her leaving no gap between their bodies. his eyes never leaving her face.
“move.” she pulls him closer by his back to her face and reconnect their lips, muffling their moans as he slowly moved in and out of her.
“so t-tight love, so good for me” he broke the kiss to catch some air burying his face on her neck moaning against her neck.
“feels so good dray to have you inside me..” he groaned louder at her words, thrusting harder and deeper into her, his balls slapping the curve of her ass.
moans, groans, sounds of skin against skin filling her room, full of ungodly yet intoxicating sounds.
“i love you so much, y/n.. its you, only you’re the one for me” he intertwining their hands and put it on the side of her face as he snapped his hips harder.
“i love you draco, you’re the only one..” she said between her moan, her breath hitching as he hit her spot repeatedly.
“fuck y/n lets do it together” he caught her lips in his again to muffled their scream, both of their hands squeezing each other as they were near their high.
they disconnected the kiss and moaning each other loudly as they both came together. her walls pulsing and clenching hard milking him and longing his orgasm, filling her up with his cum, only.
“holyshit.. you are amazing as always, princess..” draco collapsed on top of her, resting his head on the side of her face. his hot breath tickling her ear as he catches some air.
draco grabbed his wand and muttered a quick spell to clean both of them before rolling to her side, getting both of them under the covers.
“i only have you in my heart, i promise.” he pulled her closer to him by her waist and reconnecting their lips one more time before falling asleep next to each other.

[please note that the next paragraph(s) is/are my opinion. You are allowed to have your own, but that doesn't mean you can hate on mine.]
Why are people anti-dumbledore again?
"He left Harry at the Dursleys"
-
He had no other choice??? Despite the fact that many people would have taken him in (Remus, McGonagall, Dumbledore himself, etc) Harry had to be protected.
-
Did you want to let Harry get tracked down and possibly murdered if the blood protection couldn't protect him at any other house? He didn't know about the Horcruxes then, but he did know Voldemort wasn't gone.
"He let Sirius go to jail"
-
I'm sorry what??? How the hell was he supposed to know that James and Lily (and Sirius) switched secretkeepers?? He isn't the all knowing god that most of y'all portray him to be just to hate on him. He knows a lot of things but that isnt everything.
-
Besides, with Grindelwald, I think he would know how easily a friend could turn into a foe. (To add, he was the one who gave Hermione and Harry hints on how to save Sirius in poa, y'all trippin' with this one)
"He would've let Harry die"
-
You know what, I'll give you that one. That was his intention UNTIL the end of Goblet of Fire. Those who have read the books may remember a ✨gleam of victory✨ in Dumbledore's office after the return of Voldemort. In the chapter "Parting of the ways" , Page no. 585.
-
That's when he realised that Harry had a chance to live. He had to make his next few steps carefully.
-
Either way, if Harry didnt have a way of coming back to life, Do you guys really think that one person's life is more important than the whole wizarding world? Really? Don't get me wrong i absolutely adore Harry but even I would get that-
"He hired Moody who was actually Barty Crouch"
-
Bro it is a 100% clear that he did NOT know that Moody was Barty. That's how good of a death eater Barty was. I don't even know how yall got this. Again, he isn't an all knowing god.
"He ignored Harry in OOTP"
-
True, he was at fault here. He even admitted it, he even admitted that he did so to protect Harry from the burden of saving the wizarding world because he'd grown to care too much about him.
-
Sure they were things he could have done differently, and Sirius's death definitely could have been prevented but that doesn't mean it's his fault.
"He's manipulative and scheming"
-
-
Now, I'm aware that he's manipulative and scheming, but that's not always a bad thing. Like for example, what if a character that always told the truth in every situation, had to manipulate his way out of something??
-
He did what he had to do to save the wizarding world. Hell, he even sacrificed himself to do it. Like it or not, without Dumbledore's intervention Harry would have died.
Also, he's the only one who heard the prophecy. What did you guys want him to do? I'm sure before that point he took it upon himself to kill Voldemort, seeing as he's the only one he ever feared and supposedly had the most powerful wand in the world.
-
In the end, it was many people's fault that the Potters died. (Snape, Pettigrew and in a way the Potters and Sirius themselves), I really saw someone that said that 'Dumbledore definitely planned their death i just can't prove it' GOODBYE 🏃
Now, there are several things he could have done differently but he did what he could and it worked out so y'all can leave my profile rn if you disagree 🚶‍♀️

Ashes To Ashes
Pairing: Fred Weasley x Reader
Request: ‘Please could you write a Fred Weasley imagine where you’re inside the burrow when Bellatrix sets it on fire and Fred runs in to get you out?? Thank you, I’m really loving you writing!’ For anonymous
Ps- i havent read the books or seen the movies in a while so I kinda went w the time it was fleur & bills wedding & intergrated it w that, sorry if its not what u wanted but I did write Bellatrix’s attack in x
Tumblr media
————
Today was the big day. For today was the the day where Fleur & Bill were finally to be wed. For their celebration to erase war from anyones thoughts, today they were just two kids in love, not undercover Order Workers. Today they were simply girl & boy.
“Oi Y/N hurry up, Fleur’s asking for you” Ginny shouts practically breathless as she runs past your room, trying to find Hermione for the bride.
You pick up the gorgeous bouqet that earlier today you picked up from the florist for the woman and made your way downstairs into the living room. As you take a closer look, you notice something is off. Fleur was standing rigidly still, looking in the mirror unblinking.
“Fleur, darling, are you alright?”
The woman remained silent, Y/N had no idea what to do, she’d never seen her friend so paniced, so immobile. Ever since Y/N’s sixth year (after the Triwizard Tournament) the two kept in contact, maintaining a solid friendship with the other, who wouldve known that years later Fleur would join the family that you had already been apart of.
“Its okay to be nervous.” You sit beside the Frenchwoman “Just talk through it” grabbing her hand you pull her down to sit beside you.
“It’z all so scary Y/N. I love Bill, I really do, but what if he realises he doesnt feel the same about me and leaves me there?” She faces you, eyes glossed over
That caused you to frowm slightly “Bill loves you more than he loves life itself Fleaur, everybody knows that he’d do anything for you just to see you happy- not many can say that they have a person like that.” You smile lightly, thinking about your person. “You constantly say how much you love him, so if you stil feel that for him, theres no need to be scared of getting married-These are the normal pre wedding doubts, none of them are true. Besides, I’m sure if Bill tried to run away from such a gorgeous and talented person as you, Molly would raise havoc and go to the ends of the earth to get him back.”
Fleur looks up at you, smiling, but with stray tears going down her face “Thank you Y/N” she throws herself forward and hugs you “It’s just a big step & I’ve been so emotional lately because of-“ she hesitates
A look of realisation dawns on you and you beam, hugging her once more but tighter “You’re joking? Congratulations!” You give her a peck on the cheek “Does Bill know?” You queried as she shook her head
“Non, I only confirmed it a week ago. Please dont tell anyone Y/N.” She looks at you with pleading eyes and you vigorously nod
“Of course. I wont say a thing, this is your secret. But how about we start getting ready for your wedding hmm.”
As Y/N started to do Fleurs makeup, Hermione rushed in with the wedding dress that her and Molly had been making final adjustments to, Ginny was running around frantically trying to get all the guests in the right places and seats. Once commisioning your help to shout at a group of loiterers to leave the premises because they wouldnt listen to the red head girl. All in all, after many hours, Fleaur was ready.
“You look gorgeous.” Gabrielle beamed at her sister
“Stunning.”
“Ethereal.”
“I might just steal you from Bill” you wink and cause her to laugh and blow you a kiss “I’ll go get everyone ready, you still have plenty of time to relax.” Handing Gabrielle the bouqet, you rush out of the room, which proved to be quite difficult in heels. But bearing through the pain, you get outside and see rows and rows of the fragile golden chairs set on either side of the long purple carpet. The supporting poles to the gazeebo top were entwined with gorgeous white and gold flowers. As you look to where there was supposed to be an enormous bunch of balloons, you frown to see it bare.
“George!” You shout getting his attention “Wheres Fred? You were supposed to the balloons up ages-“ you feel strong arms pick you up and spin you around, making you let out a shriek of surprise, thankfully not loud enough to get the attention of the others
“I’m here my love, disposable at your command.” He purrs into your ear, sending chills down your spine
“Put me down asshole” you laugh and turn to face him, before you could manage to say anything you were taken aback at how he looked. “You got a haircut.” You stated plainly and ran a hand through his hair as he put his arms around your waist.
“Correction, George cut my hair when I wasnt paying attention so ‘people would be able to tell the difference between us’” he wrinkled his nose
You stare at him, dumbstruck “As if the hole on the side of his head wasnt enough.” Fred laughs and says thats what he said “I like it, it suits you.”
Fred grins and kisses you, “Lets face it Y/N you like anything when its to do with me.”
You roll your eyes and hum in agreement “Thats because I love you Fred. But I will seriously consider breaking up with you if you dont get the balloons up as you promised.”
Fred gives you a small peck & jumps back from you “I’m on it!” and runs over towards his brother to finally do what he had to. You smile at him, reminiscing at how you managed to fall in love with such an idiotic man, yet you could never wish for more. Fred Weasley was truly perfect.
Shaking your head you turn back to the guests that were not where they were supposed to be before shouting “Get to your seats and away from the food please! Thats for after the ceremony!” You swat their hands before adding “If you dont know where youre supposed to be, go to Hermione and Molly, they will tell you.” You motion to the pair before walking around to make last minute adjustments.
The wedding ceremony went beautifully, Fleur was walked down with her bridesmaids: Gabrielle & Ginny. When in sight, she rendered everyone breathless, she was ethereal, the most gorgeous a person could possibly look. Molly teared up from the get go at the sight of her eldest marrying, many more joined in when they said their vows. You could not believe that the day of your friends wedding had finally arrived. Throughout the entire sitting down portion of the ceremony, Fred was holding your hand and rubbing circles on it, an assurance that through everything you went through- you were still together- still alive.
*
The loud music was ringing through the field, dancing bodies surrounded you, but you paid them no mind, your main focus on Fred.
“Did I tell you how gorgeous you look Y/N?”
You laugh lightly as you sway to the beat “No, I must’ve missed it the other ten times you said it”
“Well you do, absolutely bewitching, are you sure you didnt use a love poition on me? I never knew feeling this was possible.” He jokes as he spins you
“Must be my natural charm and charisma that got you so captured Fred.”
“Must be.” He mutters softly looking into your eyes. Fred was completely besotted by you, more than anyone had ever seen him be, he just knew that Y/N was perfect. The way that she’d light up any room she walked in, the way that she’d never back down from a challenge, and just simply how she made him feel. Dear Merlin he loved the girl. “After this do you fancy going away for a bit?”
You look at him sceptically “Planning out your murderous fantasies are we?”
He laughs and shakes his head “You’re impossible. No, since the shops closed I thought we could go away somewhere before everything with the war kicks off, I want as much time with you as I can get.”
“Oh” you forgot that the wizarding world was on the brink of war “Yeah. Yeah, I’d like that. But if you sneak George along i swear to Merlin I will live through my murderous fantasy & kill the pair of you.”
Fred chuckles again, before nodding “Promise, no George. I think he got an eyefull when he barged into our room without knocking.”
“Serves him right.” You mumble “I told him on multiple occasions to knock.”
The rest of the song died down and you stayed in Freds arms for a moment, before he was being wisked away to dance with Aunt Muriel, he held an awfully sour look as you giggled when she hounded on him to straighten his back, then saying that he was too tall.
“I’m a bit cold, I’ll go get a jacket then I’ll be right back” Y/N kissed his cheek & left to get back inside the burrow. Thinking nothing of it, she poured herself another drink, smiling to herself at how Fred would have to have another dance with Muriel. What an awful woman.
Unbeknown to the girl, a silver patronus intruded on the celebration to announce grave news. “The Ministary has fallen. The Minister of magic is dead. They are coming. They are coming.” Everyone scrabled to find their loved ones, to make sure that they were safe, but before Fred even had the chance to look for Y/N, everything burst into havoc. The gazeebo was now engulfed in flames, Death Eaters showing up everywhere to curse them.
“Y/N!” Fred shouted, frantically looking around for the girl “Y/N!”
He turned around and was greeted by a paniced Mr Weasley “Theres not much time Fred, I dont know where she is, you need to get to safety and leave. Now!”
Fred ignored his fathers protests and ran, dodging various spells being shot from either side. He had to find you, he had to know you were safe.
An abrupt crash jolts you back into reality, you get up to run and go outside but with a sudden ‘whoosh’ and black smoke- two Death Eaters appear infront of you.
“Shit.” You mumble & grab your wand, quickly dodging their spells you manage to knock one out & try to deal with the other. “You’re quite persistant-“ blue sparks shoot from your wand, the figure ran upstairs & you follow.
“And you’re associated with mud-blood scum!” A flash of green emerged from their wand that narrowly missed you, you grin
“You missed.” You kick a chair at the figure, momentarily distracting them to cast a spell “Stupefy! Petrificus totalus!” As the figure was knocked out & bound together, you walk over and spit out “Get a life, prick” snapping their wand in two.
In the middle of your fight, you had not noticed that the commotion outside had turned to an arsonists playground. looking through the window you call for Fred, hearing no response your heart stops, you leave the room & try to get down the stairs but now they were already engulfed by flames.
“Oh shit” you panic and shoot spells at it to stop the fire from spreading, but to no avail, it only got worse. Smoke was now clouding your vision, realising that if you were not to jump down you’d perish in this fire. Letting out a short breath, you hype yourself up for the leap of your life “You can do it Y/N. Come on” violetly coughing, you jump. Unfortunately landing a fair few stairs too high. Unbearable pain shoots up through your leg & you cry out in pain.
Sinking to the floor you couldnt even move, the pain in your arm and leg restricting you. This was it, this would be how you die. All alone, with no one to help you, no one to save you. In a burning house. Yet the only thought racing through your mind was ‘Is Fred safe’. Thankfully most of the fire was behind you, the staircase had completely gone up in flames however, the roof was begining to crumble down. A plank toppled down, narrowly missing you, but making the room next to you catch on fire.
As you were losing conciousness you hear a strained yell “Y/N!” You try to respond, but all that came out was a series of violent coughs “Y/N im coming, hang on!” You couldn’t see what was happening, i dont know if it was the thick cloud of smoke or the fact that you were breathing most of it in, but your vision blurred.
A faint figure emerged, breathless, trying to get through the flames & to you fast enough “Hey Y/N ive got you, im here.” You felt yourself being picked up & your body fell like a ragdoll. “Oh merlin dont die on me Y/N.” Was the last thing you heard before passing out.
*
The abrupt light and noise woke you up, yet you were unable to open your eyes, they were far too heavy for the little energy you had. Were you dead? Is this what death felt like?
“Stop pacing Fred, she’ll be fine.” You heard a voice say, however, unable to distinguish who it belonged to “shes a strong girl, the nurses said so.”
“Yeah they also said she’d wake up yesterday, so my apologies if I dont believe what they have to say.” He snapped
Fred. Oh yes, Fred. He came into the building to save you didnt he? So that answered your question of being dead. You were very much alive, but dear Merlin you were in unbearable pain.
“She’ll be up and about soon though? Her body was exhausted thats why shes sleeping so long right?” He continued, sounding unsure. Well if this is how they reacted to you passing out you wouldn’t want to know how theyd react if you died.
“And id appreciate it if I could sleep some more.” You croak out as you let your eyes open. Coming to face the whole clan of distressed red heads, Harry, Hermione & Fleur.
Fred snaps to face you and a look of relief washes over his features “Y/N” he whispers and rushes to your side hugging you “You’re okay. You’re alive. Thank Merlin.”
You try to chuckle, which abruptly turns into a wheze “I’m okay yeah, in a lot of pain but I’m fine.” Fred retreats from you, an apologetic look on his face.
“Come on kids lets give them some space.” Molly ushers everyone out of the room “I’m glad you’re okay Y/N” she sends you a smile and leaves the room for you and Fred to be alone.
Moments pass with Fred just looking at you with glassy eyes before he abruptly let out “You bloody scared me half to death!”
You motion for him to help you sit up “Oh I do apologise that me nearly burning in a fire scared you. I wasnt very happy about it either.”
Fred looks at you speachless, confused at how you can joke about it so soon. He remains quiet before letting out a big sigh and hanging his head into his lap “I thought I lost you.” He mumbles, barely loud enough for you to hear
“Hey, look at me.” You say and put his face into your left hand with the little energy you have “I’m okay, I’m alive. And so are you” he smiles faintly before you continue “Obviously as gorgeous as ever, so nothing irreversible happened.”
He laughs “Obviously.”
While in the room Fred filled you in on what happened, that after the Death Eaters showed up & they fought them off- Bellatrix Lestrange set fire to the burrow & he ran in to get you out. He told you that you passed out & that you had to be taken to St Mungos to treat your broken leg and the burn on your arm.
“The nurses said you were lucky to get out alive Y/N” he said lowly, not being able to bear the thought of your death.
“Im alive because of you Fred. Thank you.” You offer a weak smile “There were two Death Eaters in the house when it burned up-“
“Thats not on your concious to bear, Its on Bellatrix Lestrange.”
You nod, in all honesty you didnt feel bad that they perished in the fire- their downfall was their own undoing. But what was on your mind was the fire burn “When I’m better do you recon I’ll l have a cool badass scar?”
Fred shakes his head as he holds your hand, of course thats what Y/N is thinking about “‘course you will, It’ll become part of badass backstory.”
“Good” you mumble and close your eyes. After a long silence you relax back into your pillow, the sleeping draft & skelly-grow hitting you like a brick. You begin to mumble incoherent sentences
“Hey Freddie?”
He looks at your peaceful face, all calm against the pillow and responds “Yes my love?”
After a little pause of small mumbles, you ask “When I’m better, can we leave for our trip?”
“Whatever you want Y/N.” He smiles lightly & watches you drift off to sleep, hoping that ‘better’ would come along faster.
—————
Ahh okay hi! Omg this took so long to write, again sorry its not the actual bellatrix fire story, i jus forgot how it happened & when I remembered I wrote too much of it. <33

midnight swim
Tumblr media
draco x reader
summary - basically draco is whipped for you but he hasn’t accepted it yet ;)
part 1/?
warning - none i think
a/n - initially this was part of another fic but it was getting way to long and i didnt like the beginning so i cut it in half and so basically this is the second half , wasnt going to post it but people said i should post some of my stored fics so here it is! feedback appreciated
“I need some fresh air.” Pansy said standing up . You and your friends had been sitting in the common room for hours you had tried to study but Blaise and Theo were messing around making it very hard to focus.
“It’s late were not supposed to be out of our common rooms.” Daphne said
“Are you forgetting that Draco and I are prefects, we basically have free range.” You said standing up finally closing your potions book and grabbing your robe.
The six of you headed outside and laid in the grass by the great lake laughing as you stared at the sky.
“Can I tell you a secret y/n?”Blaise said whispering to you.
“sure.” you said
“Draco hasnt stopped staring at you all night.” He stated, you whipped around to face Blaise
”You’re such a liar Blaise.” You said trying to hide the fact that you were blushing
“Am I really? Plus I’ve seen the way you look at him too.” You sat up
“You’re losing your mind. And I’m done with the conversation.” You said standing up as you made your way down closer to the lake.
“If you get any closer you might fall in.” Draco said as he stood next to you. Gosh he looked so goregous, the way the moonlight shined on his face. Not that you would ever tell him that.
“Lets go for a swim.” You blurted out Draco looked at you like you were insane.
“You’re not serious, its freezing!”
“It’ll be fun!” You said as you waved your friends down
Before they could even reach the lake you stripped down and jumped in off the rocks.
While Dracos stood there watching you the rest of your friends followed and jumped in yelling as the cold water hit them.
Draco was right it was freezing, probably not the best idea to go on a swim in september. But you all ignored it too busy enjoying yourselves.
“Are you gonna come in? we’re thinking of swimming to the more shallow water and playing chicken and I need a partner.” You asked Draco
“As much as I’d love that, I like not freezing even more.” He said
“Help me out then, come give me a hand.” He looked at you and laughed
“As if im falling for that.”
“I’m not that childish.” You said as he sighed in defeat stretching out his arm for you.
“I swear if you pull me in-“
Once you got the chance you pulled his arm making him fall in. Once he rose he was red, how he managed that even though the water was freezing was beyond you.
“You’ll what Draco.” You said getting close to him. Your faces were so close mere inches a part. He grunted moving away from you and out of the water.
“You’re already wet why get out.”
“Because I dont fancy the idea of getting hypothermia unlike the lot of you.” He said motioning to his friends who were still splashing each other.
“STUDENTS WHAT ARE YOU DOING.” You saw a very angry McGonogal making her way towards you. Draco quickly pulled out his wand doing a charm that dried his robes.
The others stopped splashing
“Get out now.” She said still absolutely fuming.
The 5 of you climbed up onto the rock with help of McGonogall and Draco and stood awkwardly in your undergarments.
“Get dressed immediately.” She said pointing to all your robes sprawled in the grass. Draco tried not to laugh as you scrambled to get dressed.
“All of you come with me, I’m sure Professor Snape would love to hear what you were doing at the lake at this time of night.”
She walked extremely fast especially considering her age and you almost slipped trying to catch up with her. She mumbled all sorts of statements no doubt about you, all the way down to Snape’s office.
“Severus, I caught your students swimming in the lake!” She said , Snape always looked upset but now he looked as if he might just off all of you.
“Leave them to me Minerva, I’ll handle it.” He said as Ms.McGonagall left.
“Well is anyone going to explain what you were doing out swimming so late.” He asked
“We needed some fresh air.” You said after no one said anything . The moment you said it you knew how dumb it sounded.
“Of course.” Snape didnt look impressed what so ever
“Go to your beds. You all have detention for the next month. Dont let me catch you out of your beds at night again.”
“Of course professor.” You all mumbled as you made your way out of his office.
“Sorry I got us detention.” You said as you all walked to the common room
“Its no big deal, plus it’s not your fault we jumped in cause we wanted to.” Daphne said
“Its okay Y/N. I know you did it on purpose to get me to spend more time with you. Its understable Im devishly handsome, I seem to have that affect on many girls.” Draco said teasingly and wrapped an arm around you. You couldnt help the blush that grew on your face. Both Pansy and Blaise wiggled your eyes at you suggestively.
“As if.” You said as you got away from him and held the door open to the common rooms for your friends, they all went in but Draco waited.
“How you hurt me love.” He said getting closer to you, god you wanted to kiss him so bad. Not that you would, Draco was your friend and it was better to just leave it that way . You smiled ar Draco and went up to your room leaving him at the door.
“You should’ve kissed her. It’s obvious you like her.” Theo said as they walked up to their dorm
“No I don’t, we’re just joking around.” Draco stammered
“Right.” Blaise said, he was tired of this endless pining they seemed to have. At first it was amusing but it was sad at this point.
“Im going to sleep so leave me alone both of you.” Draco said before turning off his lamp. He couldn’t get you out of his mind. You two had always joked around like that, but he didn’t want it to be a joke anymore he wanted you.

tbh i mostly associate u with deja vu but thats already been done so. i also associate u with that hogwarts au u wrote.
Tumblr media
I have another fic that im known(tm) for! Huzzah!
Alright secrets for my Hogwarts au....
1) The original plan for this entire fic was a scene of Virgil and Janus (going by Dee because thats how old this fic is) in the Room of Requirement. It was supposed to be a old shot, which you can imagine didnt work out since chapter two is 52 page long. Anyway that one scene that the whole fic is based on? Yeah its no longer in the fic. I cut it out. Rest in pieces.
2) Logan as a half blood, grew up with muggle music and he carried an ipod around with him because when hes upset he listens to playlists he made for everyone else (this is talked about in chapter four which i havent posted). Those music playlists are pulled directly from my own love of 80s music and i made the lists while on a road trip listening to my own dads play lists.
3) Janus's favorite class is History of Magic with Binns. Binns did not know what to make of his own student that stayed awake and asked questions. Janus still sends him letters looking for book recommendations, which is how he lands on the book he’s reading in Patton’s chapter (which ironically is a combination of Janus's love of history and Pattons love of wand lore).
BONUS!
Another for Deja Vu: I did not intend for anything to happen in Portland when i first wrote this. I legit just picked a random place when i was writing the chapter with Remus's call home, and then i realized that everything spirals from there and i said "cool...i should do more research about Portland"
[Do you think of another fic when you see my username? Let me know and gain a secret about the fic :D]

WHY DIDNT SHE STAY WITH PANTO IN THE FAIRYTALE LAANNDDDDD OH MYGOODDDDDDD their dynamic was so good... and speaking of him, of course i love a gay icon, love his boyfriend too, another dumb gay!!! so many dumb gays. so much representation. im sad we didnt get to see a lot of them. i was so fuckign afraid they were also going to fucking die no i would riot!! i was ready to say "sO GLAD THIS GOT CANCELELDLDLD!!! OF COURSE THE GAYS GOT KILLED !!! NOT EVEN FICTIONAL FICTIONAL GAYS ARE SAFE!!" KJljdslklk i really was prepared for the worse after what happened to my other kings...... ill never get over that
and to be honest i was not vibing with the second season at first (probably, for sure..ly bc of what happened to my kings in s1. all these new characters were being introduced, i felt like pure shit just wanted them back. i couldnt properly enjoy it) also the whole.. fantasy thing.... is not my thing... idk... from the start, when i saw the fucking wand i wanted to scream dlkjas i knew it wasnt going to be for me. but i think it got better as it went on, it just didnt captivate me like the plot from s1. i didnt follow it as well? i enjoyed how i could easily pick up the little clues in s1 but tbh i think that just reflects dirk's state cuz we sorta follow his pov... he was v e r y lost during s2 and that rubbed on me!!! i didnt enJOYYYY ONE BITTT SEEING HIMMM SO FUCKING SAD... he was just sad and freaking out and he just needed a friend >:( and todd ugh he pissed me off a lot of the time dlkajskl........... ill never forget him saying dirk deserved to be alone 🚶‍♂️being a dirkette isnt easy.
but anyways its not like s2 was bad and dumb (im editing this and i just remember them trying to make todd/farah a thing. absolutely loathed that. that was bad and dumb. faratina for the win), the weird stuff did make sense in the end. of course thats what a child would imagine, even the scissors as weapons made sense. aND AMBOOLENTS.

oh my god i wish s3 existed and it was about heeerrrr. mona and dirk would be great besties 😔 and he would finally have his actual detective agency :(((((( but do u mean what i want to happen or this that might have happened? cuz im only looking at dirk/assistent romance lkdjakls mister sir lieutenant assistent was funny and so brave for putting up with friedkin so hes prepared for dirks intelligent dumbness and i want to see dirk happy its a win win. TODD BEING A ROCKSTAR AGAIN YES! all the other stuff yes too except bart teaming up with ken idek why she would do that after he 1. became a dick and 2. betrayed her (PLUS he shot dirk, im resentful, therefore i hate him forever and i dont want bart near him ever again)
sooooooo unfair that the show only has 2 seasons..... its such a rich universe with good characters.... all of them.. amanda and farah got great character development.. i already miss it im so sad..... im strongly considering making a sideblog to reblog stuff..

The Dog Star 2
[cw: some shouting, anger, could be triggering for some]
<previous chapter>
If my little brother — a Death Eater who made Walburga, our mother very proud — had not gotten himself killed at the hands of the Dark Lord, I most likely would not have inherited my family’s home. Twelve Grimmauld Place loomed below us. The House of Black had never been welcoming, but I needed to make this Hari's home; its needed to welcome him.
I revved again as we made our descent, careful to make sure that Hari was still safe as we landed.
But there was a shadowy figure at the door. I wrapped Hari with my jacket, separating his sleepy head from what may lay ahead, panicking at the thought that he may be taken from me, or worse...
I neared cautiously, I daren’t say fearfully, my life had overflown with it for too long and I needed my courage more than ever now. The closer I got, the more I became certain that this was someone I knew, but the pressing fog in my head made it impossible for me to say who until —
Fearful amber eyes turned to me, lowered on the slowish breathing lump in my jacket and glistened under the light of the street lamps and the stars — I was named after the brightest one — and the no longer full moon.
Remus teared up more and more the closer I drew. He reached his hand out, once I was near enough, as if to touch Hari, but retracted it just as quickly, thinking better if it.
I did not want to let go of the baby. He was a lifeline then, keeping my head over water, stopping me from drowning in the grief and the mess and the truth and —
Remus had always been the best at gauging my emotion, my confusion radiating to him perhaps, permeating his ever calm demeanor, telling him that my hands and this baby were, at least for now, surgically attached. He tapped his wand to the door causing it to clunk painfully through the soundless night, and pushed it for us all to get in.
He lit the fire in the drawing room, all the candles and lamps and eventually took to standing in a far corner of the room staring at sleeping Hari, occasionally wiping his eyes with his tatty jumper sleeve.
“W-why didn’t you tell me you weren’t the Secret Keeper?” I started at the sound; it was the first voice I’d heard all night aside from Hari’s cooing and babbling.
I lifted my eyes to Remus’s; red and bloodshot, just like mine probably.
“Forgive me... we didn’t think we could trust you... Voldemort had so much he could have offered you in exchange for...” I gulped. The mistake I had made, it cost my best friend and his wife their lives and I could hardly bring my self to telling Remus.
“I went to Peter’s hiding place,” I continued, “I was supposed to check if he was still ok, but he was gone. No struggle, nothing to suggest he left against his will even... it was my idea to make him Secret Keeper...” I whispered the last bit, tears rolling down my own cheeks, landing on Hari’s little blanket.
Remus hurried next to me, wrapping his arms around me and the baby, his tears mingling with mine.
“No one blames you,Sirius. Peter, well he...”
“Talentless rat,” my voice filled with anger suddenly, burning and smoking just like the Potters’ cottage... “Must have been his proudest moment, selling out his friends and their baby son...” I sobbed drily. “Lily was pregnant again... she and James told me last week, while you were recovering from the moon. They were going to tell you, once you were better and... and...” I trailed off. I didn’t want to stop talking, not when there we’re still so many truths wanting to get out, squirming and rioting in my stomach. I wanted to let them all out, to talk and talk until this was all a distant memory. But Remus’s eyes. His eyes were wide and they had stopped leaking. They were staring at me and for a second — perhaps it was my own paranoid mind, perhaps I imagined the contempt — he did blame me.
I think he was going to say something else before the fire had glowered iridescent green. We both took out our wands and and stood abruptly, Remus in front of me, me covering Hari. Ready for the worst.
A purple wizard’s hat, followed by a great mass of flowing silver-white hair which hid a benevolent old face and then the rest of the purple clad body. Dumbledore.
"I thought I might find you all here." His voice, a seemingly perpetual tone of casual amusement, irked me. My best friends were dead and he had the nerve to stand in my house and tell me, matter-of-factly, he knew he'd find me here? "I'd asked Hagrid earlier tonight to bring young Hari to me," he said, sitting, uninvited, on the nearest armchair. I was shooting daggers at him, but he seemed not to care, looking only between Remus and the baby I held. "But by the time he got there, the baby was gone, taken, the locals told him, by a man in a leather jacket and a flying motorbike... I knew, instantly of course, that his godfather must have taken him to safety."
I shifted my feet uncomfortably and redistributed Hari's weight in my arms. Why was Dumbledore here? What did he want?
I looked at Remus, who was in turn looking at Dumbledore, who was finally looking at me.
"I'm not sorry," i said, chin lifted in the airin defiance, daring him to make me apologise for having gone against his will.
"No one is asking you to be bu--"
"And I am not giving him to you."
My interuption was punished by silence, broken only by a dry cough from Remus. Dumbledore's eyes, bright moonstone, penetrating to the depths of my soul...
"Sirius, from what I gather, as Hari's guardian, you wannt what is best for him. However, you do not seem to have the full measure of things," Dumbledor was now making a dome with his hands, leaning forward on his seat. "I have good reason to believe thathis mother's sacrifice, Lily'sbloodshed for her son, has formed an unpenetrable protection on Hari. This is little understood magic, magic which is the sole reason Hari got away from Voldemort's attack with only a scar."
It was his turn to shoot me daggers; he most likely didnt mean it, but his gaze made me want to run and run. I didn't want to hear about what really happened, I'd seen enough, endured enought, I did not want anymore.
But he did not care, he kept talking, telling me everything, feeding me more and more dark, worm like truths.
"This is why i believe Hari needs to live with his aunt and uncle, blood relations of Lily's." I stared.
"WHAT?!" I bellowed, unable to control the sudden influx of anger bubbling over the surface. Hari woke at the sound, fussing and sqirming. remus made to take him from my grip, but I pushed him away, making him nearly-stumble back,eyes wide.
I rocked the baby slowly, allowing him to ease back to sleep.
Instead, I took to a menacing whisper; "You mean to send him to live with Muggles? People who dont even know him? Did you know Lily never wanted him to meet Petunia and..." I struggled for a name, "Whats-his-face? You want to send him to a place where, perhaps for most of his life, he won't know who he is or where he came from? A-and can't ypu imagine what that'd do to him? That no one will have bothered to tell him about his parents?" I panted as if I had shouted; I said all of that in one angry breath.
"I suppose I'm an easier book to read than I imagined." He was wiping his glasses with the hem of his amethyst robes and, my, did I want to throw stones at him just then, to watch him and his stupid, calm face, shatter into a million pieces, leaving only his delicate, half-moon glasses.
"I'm his godfather. I was the one James and Lily appointed as his guardian if they..." I couldn't say it. Maybe tomorrow could wake up, take some Fire Whiskey down to drink with James as we laugh loudly, like we did in schoool, before the war, laugh about the pathetic dream I'm having...
"Isn't... isn't there some magic in that?" I pleaded, finally defeated perhaps. Dumbledore paced the room twice round, Remus' eyes on him the whole time while i closed mine and imagined James grin, full of laughter and love and... life.
"Perhaps... But more than anything, I think I am to trust the Potters' judgement and their own trust in you, for now. I will decide if this is really a good choice after I have gathered enough information. Until then, you are not to leave this house under any circumstances. Not until I have good reason to believe he will be magically protected from teh Death Eaters out to avenge their fallen Master. And, I am also to understand, given that you are both here, that Peter Pettigrew was the spy the Order had so many whispers about, correct? You are not to search for him either, as I am sure you might be tempted to."
Remus and I just nodded deftly. I could not have cared less about this sentence at Grimmauld Place, though the fleeting urge to go after Peter, to throttle him and rip him limb from limb, did possess me for seconds. But Hari was just so much more important to me, and every second with him was precious, like little glittering pearls gathering in my hands.
"That concludes my bussiness here, and my welcome has been long over stayed, so I shall leave you to it." He Dissaparated.
The next moments all blurred into one,and i cannot say how, by sunrise; the pale greenish orange promisisng a cold, summer's morning, we found ourselves laying in the guest bed, Hari between us, still fast asleep. The both of us staring into space, our pillows damp and salty.
Despite the growing sunlight, Sleep's teder fingers caught up to me...
[A/N: gods this one was long, im sorry it took so long to post, ill try to be faster with chapter 3 (which mind you is longer still than this). i hope dumbledore moral ambiguity shows, dont worry if it doesnt, it really will further on. hope you enjoy and thanx for reading!!]

What’s Wrong With Me?! Chapter 1~
~~ Third Person POV ~~
•••••Sadie crept onto the bus, the Malfoy’s standing behind her. Draco and her decided that once they stepped foot onto the train they would go their separate ways. Well...they decided it was for the best, considering everything going on.
She nodded at Draco, at the exact same time he did. She then turned her back to the only person that’s ever been kind to her. Sadie had to go to the train with the Malfoy’s, since her mother Bellatrix Lestrange couldn’t be out. She was hiding from the Ministry. Sadie wasn’t proud, she didn’t like having the last name Lestrange or Riddle. That’s right, her father was the famous Voldemort, more commonly known as You-Know-Who.
Sadie plopped down in an empty compartment, pulling out a Muggle book she had found on the ground. She would deny it-since her mother would disown her-but she was okay with Muggles, Muggleborns, Half-Bloods, and so called ‘Blood Traitors’.
She started reading, until a pair of red hair twins ran into the compartment, slamming the door shut. Sadie was about to say something but both quickly put a finger over their lips. Sadie quickly shut her mouth, waiting to hear what they were hiding from.
“Where is those dirty blood traitors?! Find them!” A voice yelled out angrily. She flinched, knowing it was Draco’s voice. Sadie didn’t do anything, her eyes squeezed shut.
“Hey, sorry ‘bout that,” one of them finally said, looking at her. She opened her eyes and shrugged, not really minding.
“Malfoy just had one of his minions get pimples all over their face, and his robes set on fake fire,” the other said, causing her to hide a smile behind her hair. Sadie had to admit, it was hilarious. She just didn’t want to open up, afraid of what would happen if they figured out her parents.
Finally she gave in, laughing at the prank they had described. She knew his two ‘minions’ Crabbe and Goyle, thinking of how one would look with pimples covering his already ugly face. And she imagines as her almost-brother started to play drama king at the sight of his robes caught on fire. Once she settled down, she titled her head up to look at the boys who were a year older.
“You’re the Weasley twins, am I correct? Fred and George?” Sadie questioned, pointing at one then the other. Their mouths fell open in awe, their eyes sparkling. The train hadn’t started moving, so she was glad to have somebody to talk to while waiting.
“How’d you guess us right?! You’ve never even seen us before!” Fred exclaimed in astonishment. She shrugged, hiding the slight smirk that pinched at her lips.
“I don’t know. Lucky guess?” She replies cheekily, her smirk growing by the second. They both chuckled, slowly sinking into the seats in front of her.
“I like her. She’s outgoing, has a sense of humor, cheeky, silly, funny, and she doesn’t seem to be a snitch,” George stated, looking at Fred. Her shoulder length hair hit her face as she looked up completely. Fred nodded, a smile plastered on his face. The second years leaned back, completely forgetting about why and how they had ended up there.
“Not to mention she’s friendly and seems to get along with everyone,” Fred added, making her smile grow. George nodded, staring at her.As Sadie sat up straighter her book fell to the floor, forgotten. She flipped her hair from her face, huffing as it ended up hitting her in the face. The three laughed as she pulled hair from her mouth.
“FRED?! GEORGE?!” A voice called out angrily, making the twin’s heads whip up. Her heart sunk, thinking about how she’d be alone again.
“Bloody hell, we forgot about Lee!” George shouted, hitting himself in the forehead with his hand. Fred groaned, throwing his head back. Sadie watched curiously, her head cocking slightly.
“We left him behind, he had to face Malfoy alone- we’re going to die,” Fred mumbled. They opened the door, starting to leave. She felt slightly hurt, even if they’d just met, they left without even a word.
“Wait! We didn’t catch your name,” George said quickly, both of them peeking their heads back in. Sadie instantly felt better, her smile that had faltered returning.
“Sadie. Sadie...Cissy,” she replies hesitantly, using her middle name rather than her last name. She wasn’t ready for anybody to know about her parents. Not yet.
“See ya around Sadie-“ “If we’re not dead by then!” They said in sync, letting the door shut behind them as they ran. She shook her head, a trace of a smile gracing her lips. She didn’t have many of those, unless she was with Draco. Not even a minute later, two boys slowly opened the door. One had black hair, that fell messily on top of his head. The other had fiery hair just as the twins. She remembered Narcissa talking about the Weasley’s youngest son, Ronald.
“Hey...sorry to bother you but...everywhere else is full. Do you mind if we sit?” The boy with black hair asked. She nodded happily and smiled, marking her page this time before setting the book down.
“I’m Sadie. Sadie Le-...Cissy,” she stated, correcting herself quickly. They both nodded as they heaved their trunks overhead-well tried to. Sadie smiles and coughed. They set the luggage down and looked at her.
“Allow me,” she said, standing up. She pulled her wand out of her boot, standing to her feet. Her purple sweater sleeves tried to slip over her hands, before she pulled them up slightly.
“Wingardium Leviosa,” she called out, her hand moving in the motion that Narcissa had used once before. The luggage floated in the air and she almost burst out giggling. She was almost positive she would fail, seeing as she’s only ever watched Narcissa. The boys watched in awe as Sadie moved their bags onto the shelf above their heads. They looked at her when she slipped her wand back into her boot and sat down.
“I’ve watched my...mother do a few simple spells,” Sadie stated simply, shrugging her shoulders. They nodded, slowly sinking into their seats just like the twins.She turned to the boy she believed to be Ron, who had sat down by the window beside her. She took her book and her bag of money beside her, that way she wouldn’t pull a clumsy act like usual.
“You’re Ronald Weasley, aren’t you?” Sadie asked shamelessly. She didn’t see anything wrong with it, even if it seemed slightly creepy. She was just too scared to speak around the people at her house, so she mostly listened.
“Y-yes actually. B-but I go by R-Ron,” he stuttered, looking at her in awe again. She smiled, something she seemed to be doing more that day than her whole life.
“Nice to meet you Ron. And,”—she turned to the other boy, throwing her hands toward him—“you are?”The boy seemed slightly taken aback, as if she was supposed to know everyone or something.
“Well I’m Harry Potter,” he responded, giving her a crooked smile. She felt as if somebody hit her with the Stupefy jinx. This was the boy that her father tried to kill, who’s parents were killed by her father.But, Sadie regained herself quickly replacing the once again faltered smile. She was glad that he had survived, she wasn’t like her parents. So she wasn’t going to try and get vengeance, she would congratulate him if she wasn’t afraid of one thing.
“Really? That’s cool! But, I’m guessing it must be quite tiring,” Sadie said, putting her elbows on her knees and leaning forward. He nodded slightly, his untidy hair parting enough to show her his scar.Ron opened his mouth to say something when the Trolley came by. She opened the door, a kind smile on her face.
“Anything from the trolley dears?” She asked sweetly, holding a trolley filled with sweets. Ron looked down, embarrassed or ashamed as he held up sandwiches wrapped in plastic wrap.
“I’m all set, my mum packed me sandwiches,” he mumbled, setting it down as he pet the rat in his lap. Harry and Sadie both stood with their bags at the same time. When the Trolley left, there wasn’t much left on it. Harry and Sadie had been rich -Sadie was technically a Malfoy now, so she had more money sent with her than she knew what to do with- so they had bought almost all the sweets.
They had light and causal conversation as they ate, Sadie sticking multiple Sugar Quills into her backpack. She was kind of zoned out until she heard the compartment door open.
“Has anyone seen a Toad named Trevor? A boy, Neville, lost him,” a girl with crazy curly hair said, leaning against the door. The three shook their head, each having a piece of candy in their mouth or hand. The girl looked at Ron, and that’s when Sadie noticed how he had his wand out.
“Oh, you’re practicing magic? Let’s see it then,” the girl ordered, causing Ron’s face to morph into somewhat disgust or unbelief. Harry and Sadie were looking at each other with just confused yet amused expressions.
“Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow. Turn this stupid fat rat yellow!” He yelled, wailing his wand around a few times. Hermione stood there, a look of disapproval on her face. She looked at Ron, shaking her head.
“Are you sure that’s a real spell? Well, it’s not a very good one,” the girl commented in a matter-a-factly tone. She stepped into the compartment, pulling her wand out. Sadie and Ron now looked at each other, Ron’s face full of disbelief, disgust, and revulsion. Sadie shrugged as Hermione sat across from her and beside Harry.
“Of course, I’ve only tried a few simple ones myself. For example”—she whipped her wand out,almost hitting Sadie in the face with the action, and pointed it in Harry’s face—“Oculus Reparo!” Her wand lit up and a spark hit Harry’s glasses. His broken glasses fixed instantly, causing all three to look at her astonished. Sadie had only learned two or three, and DIDNT even know if she could actually do them. She always watched Narcissa and Lucius around the house.
“I’m Hermione Granger by the way,” she greeted, looking around at them. The girl named Hermione waited for them to say something, but they were too stunned by the way she was talking and the spell she had done effortlessly. Finally she sighed and rubbed her temples. “And who, if I may ask, you guys.”
“Ron, Ron Weasley,” Ron answered first, a face full of chocolate frog. Sadie had to bite her tongue to keep from giggling, and from the looks of it Harry did too. Hermione looked at him like he had just eaten a piece of rubber on fire.
“And I’m Harry Potter,” Harry said next, bringing her attention back to him. Her eyes seemed to light up slightly and Sadie couldn’t hide her eye roll at her reactions. She knew that he had survived Voldemort as an infant and that he was really famous, but people had to stop.
“Really?! I’ve read all about you, you’re in almost every book that’s been written recently,” Hermione rambled, leaning against the back of the seat. Sadie waited for her to be done, putting another Sugar Quill in her mouth. She had plenty to spare-she bought twenty two. Finally Hermione stopped rambling and Sadie instantly opened her mouth.
“And I’m Cissy, Sadie Cissy,” she stated plainly, the blue Sugar Quill hanging from her mouth. Once again, Hermione gave that look again. The curly haired girl stood, her wand in hand.
“Well, I’m off. You three should get dressed in your robes, we’ll be at Hogwarts shortly,” Hermione stated before walking out the door, letting it slam shut behind her. Finally, the three burst into laughter. They couldn’t help it, the way she had acted smarter and the revolted faces she made and the way she talked.
“Well...that was a nightmare,” Ron finally said, causing them to giggle a little longer. Finally, after Sadie had finished the Sugar Quill in her mouth she stood. The girl stepped onto the seat, standing on her tip toes as she stretched to reach her robes. She finally grabbed the material, yanking it from the shelf.
“I’ll be back boys, I’m going to change. Scabbers, you’re in charge. Keep these two out of trouble,” Sadie joked, causing them to laugh. She walked out of the compartment laughing, walking towards the girls changing room.
Sadie walked with her head down, mostly afraid of running into Draco. Sadly, she ran into something else. A human. She fell to the ground with a OOF! She stood, helping the person she knocked down. Sadie saw a red headed kid, a black kid, and a kid with dark brown hair.
She was helping the red head up, picking up her robes as well. Sadie smiles softly as the boy got to his feet with her help, dusting off himself. They looked at each other and he smile as well.
“Bloody hell, sorry ‘bout that. I need to watch where I’m goin’,” Sadie quickly apologized, smiling at all three boys. They seemed to be her age, and when she focused on the dark brown haired boy, she realized he was Neville Longbottom. Oh no...not another person that her parents scarred, tortured, or tried to kill. She could add him to the list.
“No worries lass. I wasn’t watching either,” the boy replied, his smile lopsided. The other two boys smiled as well, and she quickly grabbed her robe which she had dropped. When she popped back up, she held her hand out.
“I’m Sadie,” she introduced herself, as the red headed one extended his hand out as well. He shook her hand with his free one, his other arm holding his robes as well.
“Seamus Finnagin. And this here is Dean Thomas”—he gestures towards the dark skinned boy as they shook hands—“and he’s Neville Longbottom.” She smiled, taking Neville’s hand. They shook, and then she pulled away.
“Well, it was nice meetin’ you three. Once again, sorry about runnin’ into you. I’m a bloody idiot at times. Anyways, I hope to see you guys at the castle,” Sadie said, gently moving between Seamus and Neville to get to the girl’s changing room. They nodded, all bidding goodbyes and then walking off.
Sadie came back into she compartment as the trained slowed to see the two boys already ready. They had even gathered up her left over candy, her book, and her money for her and put it in her backpack. She smiled widely as she threw it over her shoulder and pulled her wand out.
“Wingardium Leviosa,” she shouted, all of their luggage floating down and hitting the floor with a dull thud. The boys smiled gratefully as she shoved the wand back into her boot. They grabbed their things and started walking out.
“Boys, if I must...let’s make a pact. No matter what, no matter the house the secrets the circumstances, no matter what life throws at us we’ll do it together,” Sadie mumbled, feeling like she had to make them promise. She knew that there wasn’t a way to stop them if they figured out, but maybe if they promised it’ll make it harder to leave her.
“Agreed,” they said at the same time as they stepped off the train. Sadie smiled, the brightest smile she’s ever had. She knew, that once she stepped into that castle everything was change. And she was ready.
Ron, Sadie, and Harry stood near the front, waiting for the woman named Professor McGonagall to come back with a stool and the sorting hat. From where she stood she could see the Weasley twins sitting at the edge of the table. They were already looking at her and the boys, so she waved. They energetically waved back-maybe a little too energetically. Fred smacked some boy in the face. She giggled before turning her attention back to the two beside her, leaving her back facing towards the red head who was apologizing to some innocent bystander.
“So, the rumors are true. The famous Harry Potter was on the train, and is actually at Hogwarts,” a familiar voice exclaimed, making her head snap up. She saw the platinum blonde that had been her friend since birth. It ached, seeing the boy. Apparently, he hadn’t noticed her yet. “This is Crabbe and Goyle,”—he threw his thumb towards the two boys(one which still had at least ten pimples covering his face)—“And I’m Malfoy. Draco Malfoy.”
Ron snickered and Sadie ducked behind a random black haired girl, trying to stay out of Draco’s sight. She didn’t want to break the arrangement, but it’d be easier if he didn’t see her. Apparently, she sucked at staying out and away from these things.
“Think my name’s funny, do ya?! No need to ask yours-red hair and a hand-me-down robe...you must be a WEASLEY!” Draco jeered, and Sadie’s blood started to boils. Sure, she just met Ron and she’s known Draco her whole life. But, even if she didn’t know Ron, she would’ve been angry. For one, the Weasley family weren’t bad, from what she’s read. And secondly, nothing gives you the right to treat someone like that.
“Shut it, Dra-Malfoy,” Sadie ordered defensively as she moved around the girl and in front of Ron. She knew he was smiling, and that his ears were tinted pink. The boy honestly looked like she’d jabbed him in the throat but quickly shook it away. He faced Harry again, even though she could see the way he was lightly hurt.
“Soon you’ll learn that there are some witches and wizard you want to associate with...and others,”—he jerked his head towards Ron and Sadie-“that you don’t. You don’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort.” Sadie felt her heart crack at that. They agreed to go their seprate ways, but why was Draco being such an arse?! Draco held out his hand to Harry, before saying “I can help you with that.”
“I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks,” Harry responded calmly, causing Sadie and Ron to snort. Draco snapped her head at her, and she could see it all. She felt terrible, but she didn’t get to do anything. Professor McGonagall walked forward, a rolled up piece of parchment paper in her hand. She poked Draco with it, and he silently walked away.
“The sorting hat will determine what Hogwarts house you belong in. You could be Hufflepuff, house of the patient and the loyal. Or Ravenclaw, house of the wise and intelligent. Or you could be sorted into Slytherin. The house for the cunning and the ambitious. Or will you be sorted into last but most certainly not least, Gryffindor. The house for the daring, the brave, and the chivalrous. While at Hogwarts your house will be like your family, and throughout the year there will be a house contest. If you are an excellent student then you gain points for your house. But if you disrespect teachers and the rules points will be takes from your house. In the end of the year the points will be tallied and the house with the most points will win the House Cup,” Professor McGonagall shouted, everybody silent the entire time. Ron started making faces and Sadie had to look away so she didn’t laugh. She watched as McGonagall sat the hat on the stool.
“I will call your name, and you will come up, sit on the stool and be sorted! Please listen closely, we don’t need a repeat of last year with what happened with Fred and George Weasley, and Lee Jordan,” she yelled, looking over at the Gryffindor table. The whole room burst into laughter, other than the first years who had no idea what they were talking about. Finally, McGonagall started calling out names.
“ABBOTT, HANNAH!” She called put and a red headed, shy girl slowly crept towards the stool. She sat down and the hat was slowly placed onto her head. Not even a minute later the whole hall echoed with the word HUFFLEPUFF. She stepped down and scampered towards the yellow table.
Sadie zones out, daydreaming as she waited to hear her name or a name that sounded familiar. Finally, when she was about to give up and completely give in to fanasty land she heard a name.
“MALFOY, DRACO!” The bleach blonde walked up, fixing his robes as he turned to face us. Sadie already knew what house he’d be in, only because she knew about how the hat decided and what he wanted. SLYTHERIN! The word rang in her head as he walked to the green clad table.
“GRANGER, HERMIONE!” Sadie watched as the know-it-all girl walked up, sitting down on the stool elegantly. The hat hummed, making small comments here and there. Better be...GRYFFINDOR! The hats voice filled everybody’s ears as she got down and McGonagall didn’t waste a second callling the next. NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM”
GRYFFINDOR. It rang loud and proud as he tried to scamper down the steps with the hat still on. McGonagall quickly jumped, grabbing it from his head as he tripped and groaned. Everybody grimaced, except a few people from Slytherin, a few from Ravenclaw, and two from Gryffindor. Oh, and the three form Hufflepuff who had been laughing at every mistake.
“WEASLEY, RONALD!” Sadie watched as her red head friend stepped up, slowly lowering himself onto the stool. Everybody could see his nervous, afraid face. The hat started humming, commenting on how he was another Weasley. GRYFFINDOR! Ron let out a laugh that signaled relief. He walked towards the Gryffindor table, high-fiving George.
“POTTER, HARRY!” The hall went silent, everybody staring at him. He walked forward, and the hate dropped above his head. He took a little longer than the others, five minutes. You could hear him muttering and whispering until finally he was silent. GRYFFINDOR! Sadie clapped loudly, sending the boy a smile. He smiled back and jogged towards Ron.
“CHANG, CHO!” The girl with black hair that she had hid behind when Draco was there stepped up, sitting on the stool. The hat had barely been in her head ten seconds when it made up its mind. RAVENCLAW! Sadie clapped lazily, waiting for the next person.
“RIDDLE-LESTRANGE, SADIE!” All heads turned towards her, everybody focusing on her. She slowly walked forward, sinking onto the stool. *Great, know everybody in the blood school knows!* she thought to herself. The hat started talking, but unlike the other times he spoke clear so everybody in the hall heard him.
“Hmm...yes very loyal. Serves one cause, and wouldn’t leave anybody behind...would die for what you believe in, very loyal,”he hummed, as if he was digging through her brain. She let him do his thing, sitting quiet and still. “Very clever, witty. Intelligent. Very intelligent. Got a good student here, the best of the best is my bet. Yes, very wise.” He laughed, making her ears tint pink. She couldn’t believe this, why was he so vocal during hers?
“Ah, yes. Very ambitious. Ooh. You, Miss Lestrange, are overly cunning. You seem to be exactly like your mother,” he exclaimed, causing her body to go numb. Like her mother? Like a killer? A torturer? A murder? Like a death eater?! She pushed the thought away, listening to him continue. “Aaah, there it is. Daring. All of it. Very brave, would stand up to anyone for anything. Really chivalrous,” he stated, his voice echoing throughout the hall.
‘Not Slytherin, Not Slytherin’ was all she could think. She didn’t want to be any more like her mother and her father like she already was. Luckily, she didn’t look like them, but she still felt like them. The hat ‘ooh’d and shook on her head.
“Not Slytherin, ay? Why’s that? Why not Slytherin?” He said aloud, causing her to want to throw him in what muggles called a blender and turn him into a smoothie. She refused to answer, thinking it. He hummed and nodded. “Don’t want to be like them? Don’t want to be like you father, your mother?” He called out, causing her fist to clench. She knew everybody could see, everybody could hear.
“Well, you’d do amazingly well in Slytherin. You’d do great actually,” the hat sang, causing all her muscles to be on edge. She couldn’t do anything, just sat there. Her head shook in the slightest motion, causing the hat to sigh. “Very well then...guess it better be...GRYFFINDOR!”
As soon as the hat was off her head she jumped from the stool. There wasn’t many claps, wasn’t many hollers. She knew that everybody was staring and she couldn’t take it. She quickly slid between Fred and George, across from Ron and Harry. As the Sorting began to pick back up again she laid her head on the table, not daring to look up.
Sadie was right on top of Percy, the Prefect, so she’d be the first into the Common Room. She couldn’t face the few people she’d made friends with, not after that. People had already started it. She had already been shoved, insulted, and called ‘Filthy Death Eater’. As soon as he told her where the Girl’s Dormitory was she started running for it. But, Fred gripped her wrist and pulled her back.
“Wait,” he whispered, holding her so she wouldn’t run off. Sadie squirmed in the older boy’s arms, trying to shake him off. Not that she wasn’t strong, the boy was just much taller and a year older. Also, there wasn’t much she could do when her hands are stuck behind her head and her legs are short.
“Okay, everybody’s gone,” Fred called out. Most of the people she had already met came out, which included Neville, George, Hermione, Harry, and Ron. She continued to squirm, trying to break free. Fred sat her down on the couch and everybody stood around her. Fred and George sat on either side of her, wands gripped in hand since they knew a few jinxs in case she tried to run. “Why didn’t you tell us?” Fred asked quietly.
“I just c-couldn’t. I-I...My parents have done so much to hurt people, and seein’ N-Neville and H-Harry made it worse since I-I know w-what th-they did. And I-I thought you guys w-would hate m-me,” she stuttered, tears welling up and slowly falling down her cheeks. Slowly the twins dropped their wands and both gave her a sad smile. “A-And...W-we just met and...I’ve only e-ever had o-one friend a-and we just w-went o-our sepr-rate ways. A-and since w-we just m-met I th-thought there w-would be a b-bigger possibility o-of you guys h-hatin’ me and I-I just couldn’t do it. It hurts too much,” she whimpered, earning sad smiles from them all.
“So what if we just met? That doesn’t mean that we don’t care about you already. And who cares about who your parents were?” Neville mumbled, and that felt like a stab to the heart. Her mother tortured his parents, used crucio until they went mad. She looked down and Fred awkwardly wrapped an arm around her shoulder, rubbing her arm slowly. It was an awkward and simple gesture, but it relaxed her more than you would think.
“Besides. It doesn’t matter how your parents are or were, it doesn’t matter what they’ve done, what they’re doin, or what they’re going to do. What matters is how you go on. What matters is how you treat each scenario thrown at you,” George whispered, causing her lips to form a very thin, barely-there smile. Tears still rolled down her cheeks, but she was feeling better.
“Hey, remember what we said when we got off the train? No matter what, we go through it together. Did you really think this would change that?” Harry asked. She looked down, and everybody gave a sad smile when they realized you weren’t sobbing as bad. They all started talking, ending up with her laughing loudly.
“Thank you guys,” she whispered, her eyes getting droopy. It had been two last time she checked, and she hadn’t slept the night before. So, to say she was sleepy was an understandment. Crying herself out just made her realize it. The last thing she remembered before falling asleep was Hermione grabbing her wand, lifting her up and Fred whispering goodnight to the young girl.
“SADIE!” The girl jerked up, gripping the wand that’s been in her hand since the Triwizard Tournament. She looked around, and realized it was only her friends. The twins sat on either side of her, while Hermione, Harry, and Ron sat across from them.
“You fell asleep. We let you sleep for a while, but we’re almost to Hogwarts,” Fred stated before she even had the chance to ask. She nodded slowly, smiling at the boy. Most people that were close with her-mostly girls- could see that she liked him. But, she always denied it because she didn’t want to fall in love.
No...she couldn’t fall in love. She can’t fall in love. Sadie can’t afford to fall in love, she can’t get hurt anymore. Sadie has been down this road before, she has to push away all feelings. Too much happens when you fall in love. The cycle is endless and cruel.
Sadie has learned that when you love, you get hurt. When you get hurt, you hate. When you hate, you try to forget. When you try to forget, you start missing. And then...when you start missing you fall in love all over again.
She’s done this before she can’t afford to get hurt again. Yet, here she is, falling head-over-heels for Hogwarts number one prankster. Sadie leaned against George’s shoulder despite his protest and threw her feet in Fred’s lap, with Hermione in a similar position with Harry and Ron.
“Well then, I must thank you for your kindness, My Prince.” She joked, using the boys nickname she gave him. Sadie finally answered after what felt like forever but in reality, was only a couple of seconds.
“Anything for you, my Lover Girl,” he replied causally, yet in a teasing way. Sadie hopes nobody noticed the way she tensed at the nickname, or the way her ears slightly tinted pink under her long blonde hair.
Of course, Hermione and George-the two sly, observant jerks- noticed and had to hide their smirks. They both knew you more than anybody else-well...that’s a lie. Someone used to know her more. The boy that she’s forgotten all about ever since third year, the boy she completely erased from her mind.
But, at the moment, they knew the most about her. And they both knew that she loved Fred. No, not fancy him. Loved him. Even if she tried to fight it, they knew. They just had to find a way to make her break her pact.
“Okay Lovebirds. Get a room, you’re making me sick,” Ron teased, which brought Sadie to acting like a little kid. Sadie was funny, silly, and kid-like girl. Which is why she stuck her tongue out at the red-head.
“You’re like a child,” George stated playfully, his smirk still a ghosting his lips. The train slowed until it stopped, which by now Sadie had turned and stuck her tongue at George. He chuckled and pushed he rolled her off him and into the floor.
“Jerk!” She huffed, getting to her feet and dusting her robe off. They all laughed as they stood up, grabbing their luggage. Sadie swung her backpack over her shoulder, opening the door.
“Well, let’s see what this year holds! Rather it’s fighting an army, or a teacher with two faces. We go through it together,” she smiled, and they all nodded. She crossed her arms, stepping off the train.
Fred stepped off the train after her, standing by her side. He looked down at her, a soft smile on his lips. He opened his mouth, and whispered softly, “Together.”

dont let me fall (day 1)
Tumblr media
AN: @obxmermaid​ here is day 1: Ice skating!
Fandom Universe: Harry Potter
pairing: Draco Malfoy x reader
tags: having a quiet moment on the ice, fighting to have a forbidden school romance, Draco meeting the reader to the ice rink in a secluded part of school grounds on break during the day and the 2 of them use their school shoes to skate on the ice
25 days of hogwarts list
this was your 5th year at hogwarts, this year was one of great importance, for this was the year of you starting to tutor. you had tutored partially this last year, but it was a strange start to your tutoring career, for you got assigned to tutor one student in particular. 
Draco Malfoy, from a pureblood family his father a death eater and a follower of Voldemort. you were a strong opponent in dueling and now in quidditch. for you made quidditch captain within your first few games. 
He was also unfortunately a quidditch captain except he played for Slytherin. the captains tent for Ravenclaw (your house) was shared with Slytherin (Draco’s house) sadly though this was only for show. 
as always you sent a fire message to Draco asking to meet in the captains tent to discuss the practice schedule, but also the tutoring schedule it was the most private place away from prying eyes to meet. 
For during the summer in the last few days before the train boarded to go to hogwarts you and Draco bumped into each other. It went something like this:
Draco: YN, how are you?
Yn: Draco, I'm good, yourself!?
You ask casually as though waiting for a miracle. 
Draco: hiding from my family. 
YN: well maybe i can help you hide a bit. 
Draco: what did you have in mind?
YN: we could hide amongst the muggles. 
Draco: you mean hide in plain sight, live like normal people for a few days.
YN: exactly besides then we could actually be a normal couple for once in our almost year together!
Draco: lets go... 
you both went to olivanders and begged him to let you both use his flue travel. he said he would keep your secrets and you would both be safe from the authorities.  that was the start of your first few days as a normal muggle couple. 
after that the start of your 5th year together, you were 16. your 17th birthday would come at the end of your 5th year. draco’s birthday was a month and a bit before yours. 
this made you feel like a normal person the day that Draco first approached you not for quidditch but for tutoring. this was the time when you would now start to build something other than a rivalry with Draco. 
Draco and you had waited a month and a bit before you would meet in the astronomy tower for the tutoring schedule. to have the first tutoring session, plus you would get to greet each other properly... if no one else was around. 
you and draco had your first kiss that final time in the quidditch tent at the end of your 4th year. it was your magical time, it was your own happy ever after. or at least the start of it anyway. 
Draco had slipped you a note on the split off to the dorms. you opened it when you got to your dorm. you made sure no one was around first before opening it. 
Draco’s note: meet me in the tent during spare... i have something to show you... love Draco...
you smiled hiding the note hearing voices approaching. one of them Hermione, the other Harry. both looking at you smiling like a idiot. 
Harry: are you alright YN?
YN: of course why wouldnt i be...
Hermione: why are you smiling ear to ear and why are you giggling.
you had to come up with something believable.
YN: i was talking with the constellations on the ceiling that leo was telling some really good jokes. made me smile. 
Hermione came to sit beside you.
Hermione: your parents again. 
YN: yes they insist on showing me suitor after suitor when i dont want any of those pompus annoying dirtbags, i want someone real and honest and happy to be with me for me. i just want someone of my choosing, not of my parents choice.
you take a breath as a few tears fall.
YN: i just want to be with someone i love and that loves me in return. 
Hermione: dont worry girl, you will find your special person. 
Harry: of course you will trust me its never an easy thing talking to the opposite sex especially if they arent your friend. you just have to make sure that you keep it either within our house or a wizard elsewhere.  
YN: i know but what if my future lies outside of what im supposed to do.  
Hermione: well then we will cross that bridge when we come to it.
You nod as you realize that there is a few moments till charms. then its your spare where Draco wants to meet to give you a surprise. you would be livid if the next hour didnt go by quickly. 
you kept your cool, you didnt show any excitement. though it didnt help that you could feel Draco’s eyes on you the entire time. you were in your own state of mind. you were just thinking about how this entire time your destiny has been right in front of you. 
professor flitwick: alright class who would like to come up here and show us a new charm they learned over the summer! 
You looked back slightly “stretching” your neck Draco nodded slightly to you. you stood up and spoke.
YN: ill demonstrate one professor, but ill need a volunteer... 
meanwhile draco was looking a little bored, he was keeping up his image. 
Professor flitwick: how bout you Mr. Malfoy you look like your kind of bored. come on down, front and center. 
the class watched as draco made his way from his seat to stand before the class. the rivalry between the 2 of you was legendary, well at least among hogwarts anyway. 
Draco: YN
YN: draco
Draco: let me guess the little girl learned some new spells over the summer...lets see this little magic trick...
You pulled out your wand and stood ready. you stare directly at Draco holding his gaze as you speak the spell. 
YN: SILENCIO
the spell was cast. Flitwick was impressed.
Flitwick: impressive YN, very impressive, keep it up and you could possibly take over my class some time. well, Mr Malfoy how do you feel?
Draco’s mouth was now moving but no sound was coming out. the class laughed as the bell rang, people began to get up and gather their stuff, Flitwick waved his wand allowing Draco to speak again. 
Flitwick: don't forget students to speak to YN if you need any help with your studies and work on your wrist movements. there will be a physical spell test before the holiday break.  see you all tomorrow!
the class dismissed, you walked out of the room with Harry, Hermione and Ron. splitting off to go on your spare. which meant dropping your books off at the dorm and then getting ready to meet Draco.  you heard a bunch of merry excitement...
you looked out your window and see a fresh blanket of snow coating the grounds. you decided that your house colors and some winter shoes/jacket would be an appropriate attire. 
you head off for a walk on the grounds in the snow. sticking to the path you take a spin in the snow falling snow. straightening up for the final approach to the tent. you wave your hand silently spelling the tent, to prevent anyone who might hear anything said. 
you enter the tent. Draco’s head turns toward you.
Draco: your early...
YN: no im right on time. sorry about charms class. i was really trying to demonstrate a simple spell that wouldnt get me into deep trouble. i know now that i am happiest when im with you, or reading your little notes, or happily walking through the streets as a normal couple. i know that my future is lucky to have you in it. 
Draco: how could you think that i would be mad over you demonstrating that spell to the class. i was amazed when you cast that. you continue to surprise me every day, and as long as i live i will not let anyone tear us apart. even if i have to give up a part of myself so we can be together. 
YN: now whats your surprise. ive been itching to know. 
Draco: use the same spell thats on the tent on us. we dont want to be heard. 
you do so, Draco takes your hand and smiles as you both walk outside to see the ground now covered in snow. but one thing remained to be seen. an ice rink...
Draco: watch this ive been practicing... call this a demonstration of what you had me study. 
Draco stands beside you wand at the ready pointing it at the snow in front of you. 
Draco: Glacius!
in a few short seconds a rink of ice had been formed before your eyes. you smiled a few moments before moving to hug Draco. 
YN: this is amazing. well done on that spell. but we dont have any skates... 
Draco: we dont need them. come on we just have to smile as we walk gently across the ice. 
Draco takes your hand and both of you walk onto the ice. Your shoes slide a bit, but between the laughter and slipping you got lost in Draco's eyes, that made you loose your balance. You knocked you both into the snow.
The laughter became softer as the gaze you both held now calm expressions of love expressed through soft kisses.
The both of you got up brushed the snow off each other and then heard the curfew warning bell.
Walking halfway back to the school made things easier to say goodbye but it also made things easier to keep up appearances.
One more kiss before you parted ways. You went back inside and Draco waited a full 5 minutes before he followed.
You make it back to your shared dorm and you go sit on the bed, Hermione come in short while later.
Hermione: how was your walk?
Yn: it was amazing! For the fresh snowfall it is really nice out. I went to the quidditch tent and checked the schedule apparently ravenclaw is versing slytherin tomorrow. That means the press will want more draco/ YN rivalry.
Hermione: well let's rest up, it's a new day tomorrow.
Yn: ya it is. Night cuz!
With that you both went to sleep. Draco had made it back to his dorm room and sent u a little text message saying "good night my sweet love." before he too drifted off.
*to be continued*

Drarry prompt: "Well, that's a creative way to say hello..."
Thanks love!
Drarry, past Hinny | Teen and up | 1.2k words | Post-Hogwarts, Anxious Harry Potter, Smug Draco Malfoy | Read on AO3 | Read part 1 on Tumblr
This is a continuation of my one-shot An Enlightening Session.
***
It all happened in a flash. One second Harry was shouting Draco’s name across Diagon Alley, earning all kinds of looks from the people who were enjoying the sunny day in the streets, and the next he was tripping and crashing against Draco with a gasp.
He wanted to check what the heck he’d tripped over, but was distracted by a cold, slimy feeling spreading all over his chest. “Ew, what…?” He tried to put some space between Draco and him, but his legs were not cooperating. Luckily, Draco grasped his forearms and steadied them both.
“My ice cream, that’s what,” Draco deadpanned, looking far too composed for a man whose robes were all covered in blue goo. “That was a creative way to say hello, I’ll give you that. Do try not to ruin my dessert next time, though. It was my favourite flavour.”
Harry took a step back, pulling his soaked shirt away from his chest.
“Sorry,” he muttered. “The Ministry should really start fining people for littering…”
Draco arched an eyebrow at Harry’s lame excuse, then reached for his wand and cleaned both their clothes with a swish, saying, “So what did you want? I hope it was worth the ice cream.”
“Uh… well, not really,” Harry mumbled. “Just — you know, to catch up.”
“Harry Potter catching up? Please. You wouldn’t do that if we hadn’t seen each other in months, and we had coffee together just last Saturday.”
Harry clenched his fists to keep his hands from playing with the hems of his shirt. “Yeah, coffee,” he quickly corrected himself. “That’s what I meant. We should have coffee.”
“Right now?” Draco chuckled.
“If you’re free.”
Draco shook his head. “Whatever it is just spit it, Potter. Preferably while walking — I’d like to buy a few books before Flourish and Blotts closes today. And yes, silly, we can have coffee afterwards.”
“Okay. Cool.” Everything is cool. Just tell him already. As they started walking, Harry braced himself. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said,  "Do you… do you know that feeling of not wanting to get into the shower? But when you finally do, you’d do anything to stay there forever? Like, you just feel so warm and calm that even though you’re wasting water and it’s probably a bad idea to stay five more minutes you just do it, because how the hell are you supposed to make sensible decisions when you’re feeling so fucking good?”
“Potter,” Draco said, a small, curious smirk playing at the corners of his lips, “What are you trying to tell me, you babbling nincompoop?”
“That… um.” Fuck. All the courage, all the ache and desperation that had been consuming him since his conversation with Jane, were rapidly abandoning him, and he swallowed. “That you’re — you’re sort of like… like a warm shower. Like finally taking that warm shower when I was too tired to move from my bed. I guess. If that makes sense.”
It doesn’t. Harry, you idiot, what are you even sa—
“Of course it does.” Draco raised his chin with a grin. “But you didn’t need that many words just to tell me I’m hot. I already knew that.”
Harry spluttered, his skin suddenly burning. “That was not—”
“Relax, you idiot,” Draco said lightly, “I know.”
Harry huffed. “Arsehole.”
They walked in silence for a few seconds, then Draco asked, “So, I’m like a warm shower, right? Does that mean I’m a guilty pleasure or that I’m an annoying necessity then?”
“Ugh, can’t we just forget I said all that?”
Draco huffed. “You wish.”
“Oi, stop throwing my own words at me!” Harry pinched him, and Draco giggled and elbowed him in the ribs.
“It’s not my fault you were such a drama queen as a kid!”
“Oh, I was the drama queen?”
“Absolutely,” Draco said solemnly. “Though I must admit, it was quite charming at times.”
“Shut up, you twat.” Harry suddenly felt like his heart was on fire. They’d stopped walking, and he realised they were at Flourish and Blott’s — except right behind the shop, in a narrow alley that was deserted except for a tabby cat that was eyeing them suspiciously.
“Okay,” Draco said, his voice soft but confident. “I’ll shut up if you really want me to.”
Harry’s breath caught when warm fingers brushed his. The touch was tender, but it felt piercing, and like a hot wave of something crashing against him.
“Draco.” The name fell from his lips, breathless, panicky. “You don’t want to do that,” he urged, pulling away from the caress. “The reason I wanted to talk to you today—”
“I know.”
That cut Harry’s verbal incontinence short.
“You — know.”
“Duh.” Even though Harry couldn’t move — couldn’t face Draco as his mind reeled trying to gather the meaning of those words — Draco reached for his hand and intertwined their fingers with a strong grasp. “You’ve never been particularly good at hiding your feelings toward me, whatever their nature,” Draco said, so casually Harry almost wanted to laugh. “Pining suits you, by the way. You’re really cute when you’re flustered.”
Harry stared at nothing, his eyes fixated on the shape of a rock on the wall beside them. His hand felt sweaty, but he didn’t have it in him to pull away. “Why… why didn’t you—”
“Don’t be an idiot. How long has it been since you and Ginny broke up?”
“Uh… about two months now?”
“Exactly,” Draco said. “I didn’t want you… I didn’t want us to rush into anything, Harry. I didn’t want to be that person to you.”
“Then — then why are you holding my hand?”
Draco finally faced him, looking oddly relaxed. And smug, the little shit. “Because you wouldn’t come mumbling and stuttering about it if you weren’t ready to take a step.”
“Oh.” Harry felt a grin pull at his lips. “So... You like me.”
Draco let out a breathless laugh. “I do. Don’t ask me why. I happen to have a very embarrassing weakness for charming idiots.”
Harry bit his lip. Hesitantly, he took a step forward. Draco seemed completely unfazed by the invasion of his personal space, and in fact smiled a little bit wider when Harry gently rested his hands around his arms.
Could he kiss Draco? Could that actually happen? After everything he’d gone through, after almost convincing himself Draco would always remain out of reach, could he really…?
His body leaned forward on his own accord. His heart jumped, his eyes fell closed, and then—
And then there was a hand on his chest, holding him back.
He opened his eyes to a slightly flustered, yet still way too smug Draco.
“I don’t kiss before first dates,” he declared.
“What? What did you bring me to a deserted alley for, then?” Draco smirked, and Harry pushed him playfully on the chest. “You bloody tease!”
“Books, Potter. Then coffee. Then we can go somewhere nice and comfy that doesn’t smell like cat pee and you can show me exactly how much you love me.”
Before Harry could protest, Draco took his hand and walked them back to the busy street.

I was wondering if you could do a soft Hogwarts!Jaemin AU? I've been obsessed with your Regular!NCT series lately, but I was hoping for a small break from all the well-written (too well-written ;w;) angst and switching it up for something light and sweet (your post for Jeno and the recent one for Haechan were all golden.) If you cant, though, that's perfectly fine! Keep being amazing, and I'll be patiently waiting for your future posts! Hugs and kisses, Mom ~~
thank u so much!! here’s more hp!dreamies ~
“don’t be so nervous, he’s not going to bite you or anything”
renjun encourages as you sit in study hall, sweating over the notes you barely managed to find this morning for your very much hated ancient ruins elective
“renjun,,,,,he’s like the top student of hogwarts. i can’t just TALK to him,,,,”
renjun huffs, picking up his wand and poking its end against your cheek
“just. go. ask. him”
you swat the wand away, sticking your tongue out at him 
“if you want to pass ancient ruins, jaemin is the person to ask for help. and plus - i know you like him.”
you bolt upright, glaring renjun down as you press your finger to his lips and look around
to make sure no one heard mr. loudmouth over here
“shuttup, no one is supposed to know that! how did you even find out?”
renjun shrugs
“i put a spell on your diary and it told me.”
“did-”
“yes, haechan taught me the spell.”
you let your hand drop back down as you slouch over your notes with a defeated sigh
it’s true you do like jaemin,,,,,,,,,,a lot
he’s unlike anyone you’ve ever met before. and that’s saying something since you go to a magical school
where people can turn into animals or make their eyes turn red
jaemin ,,,,,,, jaemin just stands out to you
with his perfect O.W.L scores, his ravenclaw scarf tied neatly around his neck 
the neverending nebula of gorgeous brown in his eyes,,,,
you sit a couple of rows back from his in your worst elective class, ancient ruins
that you’ve skipped and fell asleep in all semester
and now the damn final is coming up and you can’t do anything,,,,because no matter how much you read the textbook or try to memorize all the dates
you can’t
it’s b o r i n g
but you know jaemin loves that class, he’s the teachers favorite person and you’ve seen him stay behind after just to talk about it even more
so - with all your might you get up
renjun giving you a thumbs up
and you make your way over to the desk where jaemin is
all his books stacked neatly beside him, his wand polished and perfect with absolutely no scratch marks or bandaged up tips (contrary to yours,,,)
“h-hey jaemin,,,,”
you start
and he looks up, putting his quill down carefully 
his face doesnt change into a smile so you immediately regret interrupting him
until,,,,,he sees the stack of notes in your hands
and then the smile comes
“ancient ruins?”
he asks and you sigh, your shoulders sagging
“i,,,,,,i suck at this class. is there anyway you could help me?”
jaemin shifts in his seat
“well, im sure you’ve learned something - it’s the end of the semester.”
you make a face
“if by something you mean that i don’t like it, then yes. that’s what i learned”
jaemin gives you a sad chuckle, but then suddenly motions for you to sit down
you shyly do, handing over your messy notes and watching as jaemin bites back his lip
“oh this is worse than i thought.,,,”
you groan, putting your head in your hands
“im going to failllllllll”
you mutter, but suddenly you feel something tap the side of your head
you look up, seeing the feathery end of jaemin’s quill tickling your hair to get your attention as he continues through your notes
“well - if you promise to really work hard with me, i think we can get you to pass”
he finally rips his eyes from your papers and back to you
but you’re more focused on the magic quill, now doing little loops around on the desk
“stop that”
jaemin orders and the quill falls to the table with a thud
you look back at him and snap out of it
“i-yes i promise!”
jaemin smiles, hands you back the papers to which the scrambled words and messy corners have magically been straightened out just from being in his hands
“ok then, see you tomorrow here during study period.”
and with that you get up, thanking jaemin a million times over, before joinging renjun on the otherside of the room
he pats your back
“see, you didn’t get rejected”
“i - i - i didn’t ask him out?!!??”
“oh i know, i meant you didnt get rejected to be his student”
you narrow your eyes, but renjun just laughs in response  - even when you threaten to turn him into a toad if he tells anyone about your,,,, “crush”
the next week or so, you and jaemin meet every day to go over his notes
they’re all perfectly organized and with a small spell he turns them into tinier - easier to read flash cards
which he uses to quiz you on some of the material
you’re kind of hopeless,,,,seeing as though you really dont have any interest in old castles or lost muggle artifacts 
so jaemin gets a new approach
he picks up his wand, tapping it against the textbook
the images of the castles, the greek ruins, the broken fragments of magic history
start to dance off the page
tiny little versions of whatever is on the page
you watch in wonder, but jaemin can tell the little magical touch has you interest
he points to a minuscule version of a famous castle in england
“what do you know about it?”
“um the great wizard,,,merlin once lived there - right?”
jaemin grins, “correct! what year did he leave?”
you rack your brain, but then remember and answer
slowly, with the added help from all the moving images and magic aspect of the studying, jaemin gets you interested
enough to at least get the basics down for the exam
“how do you do it? what’s the spell to make images come to life like that?”
you ask one afternoon
“it’s quite simple, i learned it from the newspaper club. here-”
jaemin motions for you to lift your hand, holding your wand out
he gently wraps his own hand around your wrist to guide it over a picture in your open book
and you redden at the feeling of his warm fingers
“just move your wrist like this and whisper-”
he tells you the spell, the softness of his voice almost sends you into shock
but you concentrate, stuttering out his words
and slowly, the image of an old palace peels off the page and scrambles onto the table
jaemin lets your hand go, smiling and congratulating you on learning the spell
you can sense his eyes on yours, but you’re too shy to meet them
the day of the exam finally comes 
you’re still nervous, but before it starts
jaemin turns to look at you from his desk in the front
and gives a tiny thumbs up
it makes your heart do a flip - but also energizes you for the test
and when it’s over
the teacher takes a moment, using a checking spell to distribute out the grades
you close your eyes as the paper flutters down in front of you
and after a deep breath check the score
it’s a 68, barely passing - but passing
and when everyone piles out of the room
you rush up to jaemin, grinning
“i didn’t fail!”
he hides his perfect 100 grade behind his back, wanting you to be happy about your hard work for that 68 instead
and as he watches you, glowing smile and all 
he knew you were cute - spending those afternoons studying with you
but now you just look
extra adorable
“you should thank me for being a good tutor”
he suddenly says, tilting his head
you blink
“o-oh sure! let me buy you some chocolate frogs or i could get you a bottle of that expensive wand polisher-”
“a kiss on the cheek is ok too.”
you freeze, “a-a-a wh-what-”
jaemin leans over, tapping his cheek
and you shake a little, shy and embarrassed to do this in the hall in front of everyone
but still - you lean in and do it
when jaemin pulls back you want to ask why he asked for a kiss of all things,,,from you too,,,,
but from behind jaemin you see renjun
who gives you a wink and makes a heart behind jaemin
“jaemin,,,,,did renjun tell you by any chance-”
“that you wrote how cute i was in your diary? yeah he did.”
you flame up, ready to charge at renjun
but jaemin stops you
“you can turn him into a toad,,,,after we get lunch together”

The Disappointing Crimes of JKR
so it’s 2 am and I have a fight to finally get home (i’ve been MIA for a while because I needed a vacation tbh) THIS IS A LOOOONG ONE, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED! but on one of my flights I finally got to watch FB2 and it’s taken me a while to gather my thoughts. Like, I knew the disappointing confusion I was signing up for... I had seen SO many YT reviews on the film and from HP fans to just FB1 fans had gathered their opinions... and it was all negative...  So I had my apprehension going into watching this (thank fuck it was free) and I’ve got a lot of my own opinions to say... So if you are aware of myself, you know that I actually loved FB1 and how the flow and characters went. Genuinely, I think as a stand alone film it was actually a good, comprehensive piece of story and film; you had exposition, build up, character development, tension, climax and fallout/outro/conclusion...  So, what went OH SO WRONG in FB2, in my humble-ass opinion?  Well, lets get into this adventure with me, pals... stick with me as I rant my good ol’ heart out, grab some snacks, a drink, maybe some liquor of choice (in my case).  In the beginning, there was... well, absolute confusion??? For an entrance into a film, especially a franchise that has a previous film, I firmly believe there needs to be SOMETHING that explains and ties the previous entry to the latest one... Especially since this series hinges on a handful of characters (Newt, Tina, Credence, Grindelwald, and Queenie + Jacob) and to just throw us into Gellert’s VERY confusing transfer to Europe’s Ministry to answer for his crimes... The intro threw me off; there’s a time jump and there’s an extreme LACK of having our previously established characters development and fallout from the first film being EXPLAINED so we (audience) can make a connection to this next entry.  Like, Credence’s survival (yes, I’m well aware of the deleted scenes that were actually supposed to be shown at the end of FB1 according to Yates...) because we don’t get to connect the dots on screen of HOW and WHY Credence and his Obscurus survived with the additional information of his Obscurus being HANDLED (like, wasn’t the premise of the previous film the urgency of how this THING was going to KILL him and EVERYONE in NYC?), him finding his adoption paper, getting to Paris and into a travelling circus (which, also... makes no sense??)... We’ll put a pin on that for a bit here...  Also, Tina and Newt’s relationship; we really are left wondering how and why they are even romantically involved as the first film established them as strangers to mutual friends at the end... Something that should’ve been shown on screen could’ve been Newt choosing to continue his Beasts studies and books over staying and risking himself being in America for his love interest, Tina. Again, put a pin on that for now...  But instead, I just felt the into to the film was as vapid as JKR’s writing when she simply just doesn’t care for CONTINUITY and actually making sense of ANYTHING.  But nnnooooo, we just get an hour and a half of meaningless exposition and threads that aren’t even expanded or given closure to...  Gellert putting Abernathy as his doppelganger really pissed me off, because we never are shown an inkling as to WHY Abernathy chose or perhaps had always been on Gellert’s side (could’ve even expanded on the idea of Abernathy playing a role in Percival’s capture/implied death in the first film)... Even Seraphina doesn’t mention or show ANYTHING about their most powerful wandless wizard being GONE... he was SOMEONE alive and WORKING in MACUSA for a substantial amount of time... that had connections, powers above anyone, and obvious trust and influence to Seraphina... which also begs the question, why is there such a heavy emphasis on Gellert using his wand magic, when he had been using wandless while impersonating Mr. Graves?  Now, to get into another huge issue; character development continuity: How did the time jump from the intro give us very DIFFERENT characters than the one’s we had been introduced, learned to love/hate be turned into vacant shells of all their development?  Like, I’m sorry but what in the actual FUCK did JKR do with Queenie’s character? She seemed like a genuinely sweet and subtly powerful witch that used her gifts to her advantage... to this, desperate, powerless, and lost character? The Queenie we were shown had a sparkle for adventure and curiosity that gradually came to admire Jacob and truly was heart broken when his memory was erased--to kidnapping him, putting a love charm against his will, and forcing him to go to London with her? She acted the very opposite of who she is and she seemed to have strong morals to stand by her sister’s side, help no-maj’s out, and using her powers for what she felt was right.... To being hapless in Paris, because she wouldn’t own up to her kidnapping and using magic on Jacob against his will, and then DECIDING to JOIN Gellert’s very VAGUE AND STRANGE CULT.  Newt seemed more like a confused boy the entire installment with flashes of him and his abilities with connecting to beasts, thrown into this second installment as a reminder that “fantastic beasts” is in the title of the movie...  Also the broken up dialogue; I DIDNT GET A SINGLE STRAIGHT ANSWER IN ANY GODDAMN CONVERSATION HELD BY ANY CHARACTER! like WOW for a two hour+ movie I got ZERO dialogue that made me go ‘ahhh i get it now!’ no, everyone was running away from each other like a grade-school gym dance.  Jacob was still, sort of, Jacob... but he and Newt’s friendship didn’t feel authentic in this film as it did in the previous. The banter (or lack thereof) was kind of just a callback to me of saying ‘ahahaha, dont you remember Jacob being funny in the last movie????? well look at this funny moment thats totally not needed!’  EVERYONE AVOIDING EACH OTHER FROM MISCOMMUNICATION LIKE THEYRE TEENAGERS REALLY MADE THE ADULT TONE OF THE LAST FILM JUST FALL FLAT... I had screamed internally every time some interaction happened and then someone RUNS AWAY! like, aren’t they adults??? even HP films has young TEENS being more accountable and willing to talk than every adult in this MOVIE.  Lets get into Gellert’s confusing vague cult of reasoning; Gellert’s wishes and aspirations and him killing people and children to comparing his reasoning that he will stop WW2 with his hookah skull... just didn’t make sense, I’ll also add that Gellert’s LACK of character really just pissed me off, like, Voldemort wasn’t revealed until waaaay later and even when he was a face on the back of someone’s bald ass head; made a more CONVINCING and REASONED character with his motives. Gellert just seemed like a casual shit disturber and running a murderous vague cult because Albus won’t do shit and he knows it... He’s like an angsty teenager that never got had someone sit and hug it out type deal. Also, the way he treats his followers and the lack of showing HOW he got so many followers; like, I’m sorry but how did this angsty man-baby get followers???? Oh, right, he used his words that... AGAIN, fall goddamn short even when we FINALLY got to see his “gathering” and “speech” that was so hyped for almost 2 hours... It didn’t make sense to his reasoning or why he was acting out IMHO.  Alright, now let’s get to the character introduction... or really, half-assed intro to the many people I COULDNT CARE FOR... Expect my personal surprise with Theseus, we’re introduced to a man that seems more compelling and complex than Gellert (seriously tbh). Somehow we’re led to believe a guy who constantly (as we’re shown) to reach out to Newt that HES the one making their relationship complicated? When it becomes apparent that Leta and Newt are the two with complicated history and Theseus loves them both deeply????? Enough that he just stands back knowing damn well Newt and Leta have a past but he’s secure in his relationship between all both people he just wants them all to get along. Now, I get that Theseus wants Newt to be an Aura, but we’re also shown he has his reasons to help Newt (ultimately); Theseus showed more character development than ANYONE in this ENTIRE MOVIE (well Albus is second in this) but him CHASING HIS BROTHER TO GET ANSWERS is somehow ‘BAD TEMPER’ according to Tina... like really, almost all the female characters were lacking level-headed sanity purposely written by JKR so I would resent the characters I had grown to actually like???? Nagini is just thrown into the plot as a mother-like figure for Credence but Credence is displayed as some selfish man-child, he can’t reason with Nagini and it leads to their strange relationship ending with Nagini feeling betrayed. And then there’s Leta and her over-played storyline to be cut short by her sacrifice that literally didn’t do anything for the plot but make me want to punch a wall because Theseus is left with a broken heart and a brother who will ditch him in a minute to talk to Albus...  There were other characters that were so lacking in development that if any or all of them died, I felt like I could still sleep like a baby knowing that JKR had made such shitty vapid characters and lack of development, I felt NOTHING for practically everyone. Albus, Theseus, and Queenie had the most emotional complexity but even then, I’m giving them kudos because everything else was lacking so much I clung onto whoever threw an emotional fit first.  The whole dynamic between Albus, Gellert, and Credence really just angered me. Red herring the entire premise of Credence wanting to know his identity so DESPERATELY he was willing to join Gellert’s vague emo posse of a cult, only to be revealed as not a Lestrange (which we had been hyped tf up to know) as, instead, THE BRO ALBUS AND NOBODY IN THE HP UNIVERSE APPARENTLY KNEW OR WAS EVER EXPLAINED JUST WHY ALBUS’ BABY BROTHER IS ON A BOAT TO AMERICA (i’M GUESSING THIS EXPOSITION WILL BE EXCRUCIATINGLY TOLD ONLY TO BE SOME OTHER LIE AND BAM CREE IS DEAD)???? But YES lets not elaborate on the queer baiting of Credence, Albus, and Gellert... JKR just wanted to hype us up for nothing and all of Credence’s development and complexity is summed up to ‘lol ur a dumbledore, cree’ really is a slap to the face. Albus being trapped a majority at the school was a half-ass way for us to not have Albus confront Credence to get him to fin d his answers at Hogwarts... Lets be real.  But basically, everyone wasn’t themselves, people we were introduced to were flatlined or placed in stereotypical tropes, and every exposition turn was a red herring thats never elaborated on or concluded... the lack of goddamn comprehensive dialogue, and we got queer baited by the ever infamous JKR....  and my final take: WHERE THE FUCK IS PERCIVAL GRAVES?????  So, this was my long-ass ranting about this movie and why I probably watched it for the criminal reasoning to hurt myself and be disappointed in the end... Was i surprised? NO.  Am I going to watch the next installment... maybe... just for closure to this epic failure of a second installment.  Thanks for making it to the end, I hope this was less painful than the actual film.

Teachers Pet-chapter 17: wanting
Tumblr media
All chapters
chapter 16
Potions seemed to drag on forever, Snape was just teaching a lesson, his velvety monotone voice going on and on about a potion we were gonna brew soon. I was trying my best to stay awake, I was still very exhausted and his voice was slowly lulling me to sleep. My eyelids felt heavy and I let them close for one second, or so I thought. I began drifting off and it was too difficult to open them again. I could hear his voice get quieter as I slipped into unconsciousness. I should have known better, I saw a kid fall asleep in his class once and he practically hexed them, he took away house points and yelled at the boy, which ensured he never made that mistake again. 
I jumped awake to a tap on my shoulders. My head was now on the table on my arms and I opened my eyes to see Draco staring at me. "Y/n, come on class is over." he said, collecting his books. "What?" I looked around and saw most of the kids had already left and Snape wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Where's Professor Snape? Why didn't he wake me up? Why didn't you wake me up!" I said lightly shoving his shoulder as we headed out of the classroom. "He left as soon as the bell rang, and I didnt think I needed to, I mean I tried and you didn't move so I figured you needed the sleep." He said smiling. "How odd that he did not get angry with me, did he even say anything?" I asked as we went to the Slytherin common room. "No, when he looked and saw you asleep he just rolled his eyes and kept teaching, I guess he figured if you have the time to sleep, then you don't need to learn haha" I thought over what he was saying, that's not like Snape at all why would he do that? And he knows I'm bad at potions so you would think he'd want me to pay attention.
We went to our rooms for our free period and I said I'd see him at dinner. I was alone in my room and decided to get the book out I had stolen from Snape's room earlier. I began from the start and read the first few chapters, I noticed it began getting dark out and looked at the clock, "Great I missed dinner." I realized I had gotten through almost half of the book, it was very informational, and sadly to say, was giving me some ideas. I mean there's no way I could earn Severus' affections but a girl can dream right? I got my bag and quickly headed out to make it to Snapes lessons. "Draco! So sorry I missed Dinner I got caught up reading!" I said seeing him in the common room, "Oh that's ok I actually saved you this dinner" he said handing me a dinner roll. I smiled taking it from him, "thanks so much I'll catch you later!" I took a bite of the roll not realizing how hungry I was and headed to the potions classroom. The door was closed so I stood there and knocked on it. Recalling when Severus rescued me from the weird encounter with Lockhart that one day, I smiled to myself thinking about how he's always been there in my times of need, so conveniently.
"Come in" I heard him say from the other side and I walked in smiling, taking another bite of my roll. "Evening Professor," I said, sitting down in Dracos seat. It was closer to Snape's desk, easier to hear him from here of course, no other reason. "Today I figured we would look over the Amortentia potion" he said looking up at me, I dropped my smile, that was the potion he was teaching earlier that I so happened to have fallen asleep during the lesson. "About that," I said, getting up and walking over to his desk, "I wanted to know why you didn't wake me up during class." I said fiddling with my fingers. He looked down at his papers thinking for a moment. "I figured you deserved it after last night, although you should have indeed been awoken, I didn't want to disturb the lesson either." He said not looking up at me. "About last night.." I began "No need to discuss the matter Ms.L/n, It was wrong of me to have not sent you back to your dormitory immediately." He interrupted. "What? No..I wanted to thank you once more, It was almost a miracle you showed up when you did, and not punishing me, it helped a lot, I've been having a rough time and i'm glad you were there." I said within a small smile, I hoped this wasnt to far a reach and he didn't find it weird, I mean he was just comforting a student, nothing more. He didn't say anything he just stared down at his papers, I had said too much. I turned and sat back down. "We should get started." he said, stacking his papers. "Right." I said not looking up at him. It fell silent and I needed to break the silence, "Professor how well do you know Professor Lockhart?" I said looking up at him. "As well as any teacher I suppose why?" he asked furrowing his brows. "If I tell you something will you promise not to get angry and get me in trouble?" I said looking around and then pulling my chair up to his desk. He straightened up and looked at me with worried eyes.
"I might regret it, but sure." he said with a sarcastic tone. "Um, well... During Defense Against the Dark Arts today, we were practicing the protection spell, and I didnt have a partner again, and so Lockhart made me practice with him. He said to do easy spells to practice against. And at the end of class I was arguing with him because he used a dueling spell and he proceeded to say it was because he knew I could 'handle' it," he continued listening to me closely growing more and more confused and concerned as I went on. "And he was like 'watch' and raising his wand, and I wasn't prepared and I didnt know what he was going to do.." I looked down at my hands scared to let out the last part, "And so out of defense I hit him with Expelliarmus and he flew across his desk." I said breathing out the last part. Snape's eyes went wide for a moment and then his mouth grew into a small smile. I let my shoulders relax at his response and let out a light chuckle. "Wow Y/n you really like to test this mans limits." he said back in his normal tone. "He just makes me so furious, and I was so shocked he pulled his wand on me without a heads up so I got afraid." I added. "Are you gonna tell Dumbledore?" I asked with furrowed brows. "Well what did Lockhart do about it?" he asked looking in my eyes, I shifted in my seat, he had such an intense stare and his dark eyes looked so strong. "You see, that's the weird part, he didn't do anything," at this he returned his face to its normal stern look and looked a tad shocked, "All he said was 'be careful, you never know the consequences of your actions' and then let me leave." I said using air quotes and mocking his voice.
But Snape did not seem amused, he just looked away and dropped his gaze on my eyes and looked at the wall in thought I presumed. He didn't say anything or the next minute and I grew worried, "What?" he didn't respond. "Severus what is it?!" I said raising my voice a tad looking in his eyes. He snapped his gaze to me and opened his mouth to speak, "Dont scold me for using your name, what are you thinking about." "Nothing Ms. L/n, it's fine I just wonder why he did not assign you a detention. And I told you not to call me Severus'' Wow. The way he said his own name was beautiful, but now's not the time for this. "Well we are friends now, and friends don't use formalities such as Ms. L/n and Mr. Snape" I said jokingly but he didn't seem amused, "Definitely do not call me Mr. Snape" he said in a cold tone, I guess I hit a soft spot, I mean it makes sense, he didn't like his father and I'm guessing that was what he would hear a lot. "We are friends though, I mean at least here in our lessons, I won't do it during school.." I said reassuring him. "If it will make you focus then fine, now let's get started we have wasted enough time."
Hours had passed and I suggested he teach me how to brew the potion now for practice, and to prevent me from any mishaps in class. But he refused and said to just wait until we did it as a class since it was already so late. I was sitting next to him at his desk since we were going over stuff in the textbook. I went to close it and my arm brushed against his, I paused for a moment and let the feeling linger on my arm, I looked over at him and made eye contact with him, I got up and walked over to my table putting my book down. "I uh was organizing the books today but didn't get to finish, I can do that quickly if you'd like?" I asked, looking at the last bookshelf. "No that's alright" he said, not looking at me. "I-I should probably go now anyways heh '' I said awkwardly collecting my things, "Yes that is probably best" he said shuffling random papers around. "Ok um I will see you in class tomorrow, Goodnight Severus." I said walking to leave, "Goodnight Y/n" I smiled and walked out down the hall. I got to my room and one of my roommates was still awake, I smiled at her as I sat my bags down and sighed, "Y/n you like to read right?" my roommate asked, her name was Ruth and she was pretty popular, she had long dark brown hair and beautiful green eyes. Lots of the boys liked her, but we never became friends, but she was nice. "Yeah I do" I said looking up at her. "Good here, my muggle friend had this sent to me, but I'm not gonna touch it so you can have it." she said, extending the book to me. "Oh t-thank you! Are you sure?" I asked looking up at her hesitantly taking it from her hand, "Yeah at least i'll get some use if you have it." she said smiling, "Well ok thanks" She just nodded and said goodnight turning out her lamp and going to bed. I laid it on my bed and went to get ready to go to sleep.
When I finished I sat on my bed picking up the book, "Lolita" hmm I said reading the title to myself. I put it in my bag and told myself i'd read it once I was done with the one I stole from Severus, I grabbed the small book and continued to read through it, it was actually very helpful, except for the fact I wasn't going to get to try any of these things with him. "If the one your heart desires, does not at first glance your way, find someone to make them envy and draw attention to thine self." Merlin this translation was kind of hard to interpret, unless it was really suggesting to make them jealous, my only issue was no matter who I dated, Severus still wouldn't look at me the way I want him to. I needed to get this idea of him eventually falling for me out of my head. I looked in the margin at at a note that was scribbled in, 'she has found someone' I frowned reading it. This poor person, they must have really wanted things to work with this other girl. I flipped to the beginning to where I left the flower. It was a little white one flattened from the pages. I grabbed my wand and murmured a small "Appare Vestigium" A swirl of gold went over the pages and the flower and a few small fingerprints appeared on the flower. This would show me any magic that was lingering but it was not helpful in finding out where the flower came from and who wrote in this book. I guess I was just gonna have to tell Severus I took it and ask him whose it was, that was going to be fun.
