a little continuation on my previous post.

in a little "what if", Ron decided to send a letter, tell Percy what Umbridge did to Harry in detention and sent proof (a photo of Harry's craved hand)

Percy reads it once, sets down the letter slowly and then decided "nope, time to overthrow this fucking circus to ministry and throw that hag in prison"

next thing Arthur hears is that Percy decked Fudge in the face, let the newspapers print out all his sketchy affairs with proof. it's the scandal of the decade, a massive headache for the auror department, the toad got arrested for "physical abuse, torture of a minor and possession of a Dark object" and the public loudly demands that Percy takes over as minister

Arthur fears it's the Black Family Madness™

Molly is so scared that Percy is gonna get thrown into jail or worse

Bill and Charlie has One Fear™, that is Percival Ignatius Weasley

Sirius laughs at everything and finds this utterly hilarious

Fred, George and Ginny try to understand what is going on and wonders if Percy has finally lost it

Hermione is speechless for the first time

Harry is just :o

Ron doesn't know what to do, all he wanted to do was to throw some shit in Percy's face. he didn't expect him to go Big Brother Mode and fix everything again.

Percy: *sips on tea* and that was that Tuesday. wonder what I'll do next week.

Percy Weasley: overthrows sadistic teacher, corrupt politician and the whole ministry in one day.

what an icon.

these are the hands of fate (a dramione soulmate AU)

Her hand collided with his face with as much force as she could muster. She felt a flare of triumph as he staggered back, his pale hand covering the red stain beginning to break out across his cheek.

“You foul – you evil – ”

She was dimly aware of Ron’s hands trying to snag around her waist to tug her away, and she was winding her arm back to swing again when she caught sight of something on her palm.

A faint outline, growing darker by the second, of – is that a – constellation?

When she looked up, Malfoy was staring at her in shock. His hand slowly lowered until she could make out a similar etch on his cheek where – where she had –

“Are those – soulmarks?” Ron blurted.

And that’s how Hermione learned she had a soulmate.

Read part one on AO3!

“you’re married.”

james subconciously twists the ring on his fourth finger. “yeah, i am,” he smiles softly. “nearly a year ago now, actually. our anniversary comes up next month.”

“oh, that’s nice,” lily smiles, tilting her head to the side, sounding half geniune. “so, who is she? and when did you get over sirius’ stupid little brother?”

“actually, i got under him,” james’ gentle smiles turns into a smirk. “sirius’ stupid little brother is now my stupid little husband.”

seventeen moons by we_built_the_shadows_here Pairing: Severus/Lily Rating: G Word Count: 6k “The scar is small, at least,” Pomfrey says, pulling the bandage snug around the cleaned wound. There’s a pity in her voice that makes Severus want to throw up again. “It will be easily covered.” Dumbledore catches him inspecting it, as if mesmerized. “You are lucky to have survived at all,” the Headmaster says. Severus does not say I don’t feel very lucky because it is stupid and obvious. Instead, he says unsteadily, “I want to press charges, sir.” Pomfrey stills, tightening the bandage to the point of discomfort. “Remus Lupin would be executed,” Dumbledore says. “The Ministry takes a dim view of werewolves who infect other wizards.”

🐍 The Runemaster - Tomarry ⚡️

Explicit

Harry trips on a rock and leaps through time. Lost and alone, 1940s Hogwarts is very different from the Hogwarts he is familiar with. To make matters worse, he is dumped into Slytherin – Riddle’s territory.

Harry must navigate his new life in the most unremarkable way possible and blend into the background until he can find his way home. But it’s hard to be invisible when you’re a novelty, new student that knows too much for your own good.

Part I – Ongoing

Hello! So, this might seem like a weird ask. The whole thing is based on the canon world, that is wizards and stuff. Everything that's going on in the books is still happening! I just don't want you to confuse this with a Muggle/No magic AU.

My question is, if Percy—for some random reason please suspend your disbelief here—decided to become an EMT in the muggle world (without using magic that is), how would his family react to it?

Again, the things that happen in the books are still happening, the only thing is that Percy's decided to go into muggle EMT instead of the Ministry.

Like, would they be kinda mad because Percy is putting muggle stuff/outside stuff over the war they're fighting?

Or would they be much more understanding? Maybe think Percy's cooler? Ngl, I'm asking you this for the sake of my daydreams.

Sorry for taking so long to respond! 🙁

Oh wow! That is a very unique idea/question! 😄

Do you mean that Percy became an EMT right after Hogwarts (instead of working for Barty Crouch)?

That would be super interesting!

Hmm... 🤔 You know, I surprisingly don't think most of them would react badly.

Arthur

Arthur is obsessed with muggles. However, he does not seem to see them as equals. In his mind, muggles are poor fools that need to be protected. It's less like fighting for racial equality and more like people fighting for animal rights.

In Book 2, he states:

“Just Muggle-baiting,” sighed Mr. Weasley. “Sell them a key that keeps shrinking to nothing so they can never find it when they need it.. Of course, it’s very hard to convict anyone because no Muggle would admit their key keeps shrinking — they’ll insist they just keep losing it. Bless them, they’ll go to any lengths to ignore magic, even if it’s staring them in the face…"

Then in Book 4, when Fred gives Dudley Ton-Tongue Toffee, he says:

“It isn’t funny!” Mr. Weasley shouted. “That sort of behavior seriously undermines wizard–Muggle relations! I spend half my life campaigning against the mistreatment of Muggles, and my own sons —”

So he probably doesn't think Percy is making a good decision to actually work in the muggle world, but I don't think he gets too upset about it either. If anything, he may see this as an opportunity for him to learn more about a topic that he clearly enjoys, and it could potentially help his cause by having proof (from Percy's testimony) that muggles deserve to be treated fairly.

Molly

I definitely think Molly reacts the worst out of everyone. She doesn't hate muggles, but she certainly isn't overly fond of them either.

She definitely dislikes Arthur's obsession with them (though in her defense, that probably has more to do with him wasting money on it/focusing on it instead of helping her with the kids/house).

In Book 4, Arthur says,

“Ah yes, I can see the plugs. I collect plugs,” he added to Uncle Vernon. “And batteries. Got a very large collection of batteries. My wife thinks I’m mad, but there you are.”

Also, what's even more telling is that in Book 1, when the Weasleys are at King's Cross Station, Harry overhears her say:

"-- packed with Muggles, of course --"

I know that JKR included this line so that Harry could identify another wizarding family, but she should have used something else (like Platform 9 ¾) instead, because they are literally in a muggle train station, so the comment seems unnecessary and rude. Think about if you went to Chinatown and said "packed with Chinese people, of course."

Plus, Molly wants all of her children to work at the Ministry of Magic. This is a comment in Book 4 (about the twins):

“And then there was this big row,” Ginny said, “because Mum wants them to go into the Ministry of Magic like Dad, and they told her all they want to do is open a joke shop.”

This is the same instance where she literally burned all of their order forms. She seems to have (sort of) accepted Bill & Charlie's choices, as well as Fred & George's joke shop (after they make a lot of money), but Percy is the child that she expected to go into the Ministry the most.

There would definitely be a massive row with her.

Fred & George

They likely wouldn't care much, because they clearly don't mind muggles either. In Book 4, after they gave Dudley the Ton-Tongue Toffee and Arthur yells at them, they say:

“We didn’t give it to him because he’s a Muggle!” said Fred indignantly. “No, we gave it to him because he’s a great bullying git,” said George. “Isn’t he, Harry?”

If anything, I think they love that Percy is now the family "disappointment" because they've spent so long getting yelled at by Molly that this is a nice change of pace. Plus, it takes the pressure off them. Even if they open a joke shop in the wizarding world, Molly still won't be as angry with them as she is with Percy.

Suddenly "Perfect Percy" isn't so perfect anymore, and it probably (ironically) improves their relationship.

Bill, Charlie, Ron, & Ginny

They are probably all rather incredulous about the entire thing and think Percy is mental for not wanting to work in the wizarding world (and Hermione encourages this idea because she clearly wants nothing to do with the muggle world anymore), but I really don't think they treat him badly over it.

They probably just think he's finally cracked under all the pressure he puts on himself, and if this gets him to loosen up, then it's not all bad.

I do think Charlie & Ginny would find it a little cool though, and they're both more likely to actually talk to Percy about his new life, whereas Bill & Ron will probably avoid the topic altogether.

Other Thoughts

One of the most interesting parts about this AU is that is has the potential to drastically change the story. If Percy doesn't work for Barty Crouch, then chances are, whoever is in his position doesn't do as good of a job running the department on their own, so people figure out something is wrong with Mr. Crouch much sooner.

Once that happens, they (i.e. Dumbledore) may very well be able to put the pieces together about Barty Crouch Jr., and then his plan fails, Harry never goes to the graveyard, Cedric never dies, and Voldemort never officially returns in a body. So is the war even going on anymore? Possibly not for a few more years while Voldemort tries to capture Harry!

Even if the war continues in the exact same way as canon, I think Percy's job in the muggle world could actually be beneficial. He could be there to prevent some of the damage & protect the muggles, and he could help muggleborns & their families escape through the muggle world in a way that wouldn't be traced back to them.

There's a lot of potential there for a great fanfic! 😉

Thanks for the ask! 😊

regulus becoming a death eater at sixteen is something that i have a hard time wrapping my mind around, mostly because i can't imagine him doing a lot between joining and dying

the only other case that we know for sure of this happening is draco malfoy, but under very different circumstances. draco was marked after nine death eaters, including his father, were arrested, and tasked with the seemingly impossible task of killing dumbledore. the main purpose of this was to torment his family and, later on, ensure his collaboration

i think something similar to this secondary goal might be involved in recruiting soldiers so young

at sixteen, your brain is not fully formed and it's hard to see nuance, hard to structure arguments, you don't know enough of the world and it's easier to get attached into worldviews or political parties or philosophies or cults

i think that, to voldemort, ensuring the collaboration of these boys when they were at their most eager would guarantee their loyalty later on

because, realistically, there's not much he could have done with teenagers inside hogwarts. spy on dumbledore? he would know. have them sneaking out at night to hogsmead and side apparating to go kill some muggles and then be like oh sorry gotta comeback i have charms in the morning

so young death eaters — in 'padfoot returns' sirius lists some names he knew who were friends in hogwarts and later were arrested or killed — would have little use in the killing and torturing, but they still could be potential recruiters, feeding discourse into their colleagues, radicalizing other children, creating the illusion for other people that they are already winning and there's no point in fighting against it

so for the specific case of regulus, i can see him growing up with parents who believe in pureblood supremacy, his brother gets chastised for acting out and he doesn't want to be like sirius, does he? everybody in slytherin is talking about the dark lord and his oldest cousin who is so smart says he is the greatest wizard to ever exist — and he falls into the trap

he's obsessed, he's only sixteen, he's got his parents approval for his politics (what does a sixteen years old knows of politics?), sirius left and he feels lonely, he fills up a wall with paper cuts of everything that's it's being talked about the dark lord, because the dark lord is all people talk about these days

finally, he's attractive to voldemort because of his name. he must be reasonably smart. and bellatrix recommends him. that's it

i can lay it all in a way that makes sense to me, not only from what we know of regulus, but also from what voldemort might do as a military leader. ultimately, i believe sirius was right in assuming regulus was unimportant to voldemort, that's something i've always assumed from 'kreacher's tale,' volunteering a house elf was his first chance of being properly useful and that was why he was so eager to do it

(he died in '79, either still on school or in the first semester after graduating, not older than eighteen)

note 1: barty crouch jr was described as a teenager at the time of trial, later in 1981, meaning he was also recruited very young. he would have been attractive to voldemort for the possibility of spying on crouch sr, and he was one of the most fanatical followers

note 2: it's safe to assume regulus became a death eater not long after sirius ran away and while i think the aftermath played a role in his mental state leading up to that point, putting the blame on sirius doesn't make any sense because there were many other factors, sirius was right in leaving a place where felt unsafe and he had no responsibility to calculate all of the possible repercussions of his actions in influencing his already blood supremacist brother of joining a cult

#hp meta #i'm trying to fill the gaps between canon information without diverging from it #what voldemort was actually thinking during the first war it's something i can't be so sure #most of the younger death eaters joined by the last few years of the war #i also have a theory on barty but thats a different post #regulus black #death eaters #first wizarding war #lord voldemort #sirius black

more than anything (pt. 1)

ship: leander prewett x sebastian sallow

word count: 938

warnings: mild angst, anxiety, vaguely implied transphobia.

summary: leander is returning to hogwarts for 5th year after transitioning over the summer. he struggles with anxiety over his identity as his family sends him off for the year.

a/n: @kaidynsarell completely inspired this lil fic. you’re the best! (don’t know pic credit sorry, please let me know if it’s yours so i can credit!) part 2 should be semi-soon idk

Leander stood on the train platform, feeling a bit faint. As usual, it was busy- trunks were loaded, parents said goodbye, students boarded the train- but to him, it all felt alien.

Would anyone even recognise him?

He had the same face, maybe, but he’d changed so much that most days when he looked in the mirror he didn’t even recognise himself.

Maybe they would all hate him. That was a thought that had been plaguing him for the past few weeks. No one would accept him, he’d have to move schools, lose all his friends… he tried to stop that thought. Worrying would do nothing.

His own parents hung back a few steps, letting him decide what he wanted to do. Lily had come along to send him off for the year, too, which was slightly embarrassing- no one else needed their big sister there. Then again, no one else, to his knowledge, had made such a big change, either.

“Are you ready, sweetheart?” His mum had come up and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. “We can wait a few more minutes, if you like?”

“Erm…” Leander cleared his throat, feeling a bit more embarrassed. “No, that’s okay..” He picked up his trunk. “I think I’m ready.”

“If you’re certain…” She moved her hand as if to pat his head, but seemed to think better of it, her hand pausing halfway.

Leander wasn’t certain at all. His stomach was in knots, and his knees shook slightly. He still felt a bit light-headed.

“We can wait a few more minutes, you know. There isn’t any rush,” Lily said quietly. Her eyebrows were knit together, her fingers drumming slightly on her thigh as she stood. She looked almost as anxious as Leander felt.

“But there *is* a rush,” Leander muttered. The train would be leaving soon- he couldn’t stand on the platform all day like a baby.

“There doesn’t have to be,” Mum said, worry seeping into her voice. “We can take all the time you need.”

“Don’t even have to take the train. We could just use the Floo network later this evening,” his father added.

Leander slammed his trunk down, growing annoyed. A few people glanced their way. “It’s fine! I’m fine!” He snapped. They hadn’t been this overbearing since his *actual* first day at Hogwarts. Although back then, Lily had still been attending, and she’d been able to look out for him. This time he would be all alone.

Alone and completely different.

Mum backed off, seeming hurt. His father, too, seemed upset. He knew he shouldn’t have been snappy- they were just trying to be supportive of him. That was more than a lot of people like him could say about their families. But it was almost too much. Maybe it was entitled of him to complain.

Lily motioned for their parents to step away for a moment, coming up to Leander herself.

“Hey, kiddo. What’s going on?”

He shrugged. “I guess I just… I just…” Leander stared at his feet. The platform was clearing out as more students boarded the train, probably making them stick out more. Was everyone staring at them? Judging him? Did any of his classmates even recognise him?

Leander didn’t quite know how to phrase what he was feeling, but thankfully he didn’t have to. Lily always seemed to know what he was thinking; it was part of what made her his favourite sibling, not that he’d admit that to the others. But they probably already knew that anyway.

“Look,” she started. “I understand this is scary-“

“You don’t understand, though,” he cut her off. “You’ll *never* understand, not really.” Maybe it was a rude thing to say, but it was true. Lily had always been so confident and sure of herself, all the time Leander had known her. She had no idea what it felt like to be trapped in wrong body, to hate herself every day for it. Maybe he was a little envious, even, that she’d always known exactly who she was.

“…you’re right. Maybe not *understand*, but I know that this is scary for you.” She looked into his eyes with a deep intensity that was almost uncomfortable. “You have already been so brave these past few months. I know you can do this. And I think you do, too. If anyone gives you any shit, you write to me as soon as you can, and I’ll sort it out. I promise.”

“I will.”

The train whistle blew, loud and shrill. Last call for students to get on board.

“You certain you’re ready for this? No shame in going tomorrow, you know.”

“It’s alright. I’m ready.” And he was. Leander turned and rushed to give his parents a hug. Maybe they could he overbearing, but he knew it was just because they loved him. It meant the world to him that his father had gone out of his way to get time off work, to see him off. “See you at Christmas,” he said as they all broke apart.

He grabbed his trunk, heaving it behind him as he got on the train.

“Good luck, kiddo!” Lily called after him. He waved, loaded his trunk, and went to find somewhere to sit.

There was an open compartment, completely empty. He sat down just as the train began moving, and waved goodbye to his family through the window as it left the station.

So long, London.

Soft-Spoken

Theseus Scamander + Reader who has a hard time with compliments

Gn reader

'You have a pretty smile'

The two were sitting on their respective sides of the bed, y/n cuddling with the big hugger that is Theseus Scamander. Y/n’s head resting on his collarbone while he’s reading a book gifted from his brother, Newt. Looking down at them, having felt their y/e/c eyes staring at him. A knowing smirk on his lips. ‘You’re staring.’ The usual cue. Y/n, no matter how long they knew Theseus could never confidently say what was on their mind. Especially compliments. Reaching out, clasping his face. ‘You have a pretty smile.’ Pausing his reading to kiss their forehead, ‘Oh do I?’ Nodding, y/n grabbed his hand, squeezing it three times. Their unspoken ‘I love you.’

‘I love you too.’

'You feel safe'

Theseus had been away for a while, time spent eagerly on cases. Y/n had spent the time on creative endeavors; catching up on their beloved podcasts, writing little scraps here and there. Anything to keep their mind busy so they didn't feel the ache that came with missing their auror. 'Y/n, I'm ho-' Theseus cut off by y/n running to the door, pulling him into a hug. 'And people say I'm a hugger.'

'Sorry, but you feel safe.' mumbling under their breath, hoping he wouldn't hear it. 'What was that?' titling their head up, letting them initiate eye contact. 'Nothing.'

'No, no, no. I want to hear what you have to say treacle.'

'I said you feel safe.' Theseus tightening his hug at Y/n's admittance.

'I trust you.' (Hogwarts times)

Y/n hated using brooms as a mode of transportation. They hated it less than floo powder but they had agreed to lessons with Theseus on the quidditch pitch after classes ended. 'Thought you'd never show.' Getting a raspberry in response. Theseus laughing, holding his hands in mock surrender. 'Let's go over the basics, just to make sure you have that part down.' Theseus correcting how y/n sat on the broom, noting that they'd fall off if he let them fly away like that.

After going around the field a few times, Theseus had them get behind him on his broom. 'The view will be worth it, I promise.' Seeing the nervous expression on y/n's face. Placing their hands around Theseus' waist, 'I trust you.' The words giving way to a warm feeling in his heart—fondness. 'You sure about that?' Not giving y/n the chance to answer, speeding off.

'THESEUS!'

‘That new hair cut suits you very well.’

Y/n had been debating on whether to get their hair styled, possibly even cut short. Queenie had convinced them, easing their anxieties. Reassuring them that it’s just hair and that it'll grow back if they didn’t like it. Queenie being a legilimens was able to pick up that the underlying cause of their anxiety was of what Theseus would think. ‘Oh honey, he’ll love it and if he doesn’t, then he’ll have to deal with me.’

As planned, they ended up getting a bob. ‘How was your day with Queenie?’ looking up from the cookbook he was trying to decipher measurements from. ‘You-you cut your hair.’ Y/n looking anywhere but Theseus’ face, not wanting to see any glimpse of unhappiness. Walking towards y/n, Theseus made sure not to make y/n feel as if they were trapped in a corner. Tucking a piece of hair behind their ear, ‘It suits you.’

‘Thanks! Now do you need help?’

‘Please’

‘You don’t smell like boogers’ (Childhood)

You and Theseus had been best friends since childhood. The two always challenging the other to races across the muggle playground. Whether it was on the monkey bars or down the slide. But for a few weeks around the beginning of spring, Theseus worried. His friend, y/n hadn’t shown at the playground for some time, sick in bed at home.

To the point that when y/n recovered, Theseus ran to y/n, stealing them away from their parents with a quick ‘hello’ followed by a ‘goodbye.’ Hardly the bare minimum for a greeting. ‘What’s the rush Thé?’

‘Haven’t seen you in weeks y/n/n. Just glad you don’t smell like boogers.’ Y/n lightly shoving him before running to the monkey bars.

remus lupin x reader

a/n: me when i write explicitly in run on sentences ☝️🤓

the stars had their reasons for bringing them together. his revolution was hating himself - hating the way he was and what he had become. he believed he found his freedom in his disbelief of things he deemed out of his reach. things like love, joy, and fellowship.

their revolt was in heart. the boldness of being unafraid of loving, and the enlightened knowledge of being loved. it was no coincidence that they found each other - he had fallen for them long before he knew they knew who he was.

now, when face to face, he was looking up at the sky, the clouds covered the stars, but their light still shone through regardless.

"you need someone who can love you," he muttered to them, "i'm a burden to try to talk down. i get fired up and anxious, and i can't escape. please, it's a hard ask."

"why would it be? what makes you less deserving of care?"

looking at them, the stars shone though their pupils. he believed he could've seen a whole other galaxy within them, if he had just stayed. but instead, he left for his dormitory without saying a word.

but the stars would never leave him. any time he looked up into the moonlit night, some part of him would feel empty - devoid of what could have been.

"i'm going to keep caring about you, whether you like it or not," they responded to remus' back.

“and you can ignore me or call me crazy when you’re talking to james or sirius or peter, but you can’t make me forget your favorite color, or how you fidget with your fingernails when you get too anxious to look people in their eyes, or how you can’t help loving everyone you meet, even if they’re your worst enemy; you might not feel like it sometimes but you are just so… wonderful.”

the words were warm, like the tears pricking at the corners of his eyes and the blood rising into his cheeks. warm like a blanket on the couch of the lovely home he had never had—a home in the (hopefully near) future with two cats and a dog and them, that he had imagined during many a sleepless night.

it was the same warmth that they shared in heartbeats together; a hand taking an arm; two foreheads, finally succumbing to the gravity of the thoughts behind them and connecting; two pairs of lips, confident in the reciprocated feeling of longing, at once meeting.

and in a moment, the thoughts of what could have been became the evolution of what could be.

Dear Cousin, Love Regulus

Title: Dear Cousin, Love Regulus

Author: LLAP115, XxTheDarkLordxX

Pairing: No Regulus pairing, Draco/Harry

Rating: Mature

Status: Completed

Length: 86,569

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Tags: Canon Divergence, Pureblood Politics, Letters, Friends to lovers

Summary:

As the sole Malfoy heir, Draco understood that his path was set long before his birth; who to be, how to act and what his choices should be. What he had not counted on was the power of outside influences. Letters from his deceased cousin caused him to realize that he did have choices, starting with the choice to be someone else, to be who he wanted to be. The road to self-discovery was difficult and navigating that path in the shadow of Harry Potter was its own challenge but maybe, just maybe, his friends would help him along the way. And he would owe it all to Regulus Black.
