FEW could describe anyone at Hogwarts "ordinary". You were no acception. But you might've been less ordinary- scratch that, you were less ordinary. Perhaps it was the way you ran from water like it was going to kill you. or the way you grew a fish-like tail whenever you made contact with water. either way- you were certainly different, and so were Pandora and Lily.
You girls had been out exploring one night around The Black Lake and the forest area that had surrounded it. You remembered Pandora falling into a small divit in the ground and sliding through to a passage, just before You and Lily followed behind her.
The small passage led you to a large circular pool- not a swimming pool- rock pool.
"Are we sure there's no way out?" Lily asked, "The only way out is to swim, Y/N. Unless, you wanna be stuck here forever." You snarked, slowly stepping into the pool of water. Pandora followed in shortly after. "Come on, Lily. It'll be okay, I promise." Pandora was a very calm and serene person, so it was easy to trust her judgment. Lily stepped in carefully with the help of Pandoras hand.
"Okay, it seems like theres an underwater passage up to the surface of the lake-" You started, before being cut off by the sounds of rippling water and bubbles. You all collectively looked up to see the full moon shining through the circular hole at the top of the cave you were in.
"We should get out of here..." Lily stated. "I'm sensing these... weird vibrations..." Pandora gently splashed around the water, and all you could do was nod, (even though you didn't really understand what she was saying). "Remus is probably having his transformation right about now, if we want to get back to the castle without anyone seeing us we need to go now." You responded, diving under the water once the bubbling had stopped and swimming through the small passageway, letting yourself float up to the surface, the other two followed suit.
You gasped for air as you sprung out of the water, your legs kicking helplessly under you to stay afloat.
"Follow me!" You whisper-yelled, not wanting Filch or even Hagrid to hear you. You swam to a exit out of the lake, pushing yourself up to the grass with your arms. "We made it-!" Said a breathless Lily. "Let's hurry. We have the furthest away common room, Y/n." Pandora reasoned.
You both had dropped Lily off at her common room, before making your way to yours.
and that was the night that changed the rest of your lives, possibly forever.
Tumblr media
Now, it had been two weeks since that night.
You, Pandora, and Lily had been adjusting... adjusting. But it became harder every single time you touched water, even when it rained you had to stay inside, and watch out for the Marauders and their pranks.
"This is torture! All the sixth years are going go to The Black Lake this Saturday to swim, and we'll look like the priss' who don't want to get wet." Poor Lily paced around the dorm until she flopped onto your bed, laying her head in your lap as you stroked her hair calmingly.
"It's okay, Lils. I'm sure nobody would think that, besides. I'm sure there will be other girls out of the water." You reasoned, attempting to calm her. "James will be there, that's her concern." Pandora didn't even look up from her book, while Lily blushed up like a rose. "I-! N-no! That is NOT it." It was difficult for you to contain your giggles as Pandora joined you.
"I say we go, but be extra careful." You state, quite sure of yourself. "Is there some sort of potion we could make? maybe it would stop the transformation-" Lily started. "If this is your silly attempt at getting James to look at you in a bikini its not going to work."
"that isnt what this is about!!"
"you are so very convincing."
"Shut up, Y/N!"
Tumblr media
As Saturday rolled around, Lily was practically bouncing off the walls- from anxiety and excitement. Lily was absolutely stunning, with her firey red hair and almost sagey green eyes. Her thinking James wouldn't be impressed with her (The boy had been obsessed with her for the past five years) was one of the worlds most biggest mysteries.
Pandora was beautiful, too. with her almost platinum blonde hair, yet it still had warmer tones hidden within, and her light green eyes. You were curious why nobody had pursued her yet.
Lots of nervous vibrations were coming off of Lily according to Pandora. James was one of her good friends (through trial and error on his part), and she really did like him.
"As long as we stray clear from the water it'll be perfectly fine!" Lily tried to make it sound like she was hyping us up- but really she was hyping herself up.
You were sure it’d be fine, as long as you all stayed safe.
merlin were you wrong.
“Stray clear from the water, huh?” You scoffed, crouching down to Lily’s level.
“I didn’t know people would splash us.” Lily shrugged, struggling with her tail.
“Lily?” someone called out, definitely not Pandora, and you were right next to her.
“Sh!t!” Lily whisper-yelled.
“Don’t worry, i’ll handle it.”
You stood up and walked to the source of the yells, James Potter.
“Y/N! have you seen Lily? she got splashed then ran off this way-“
“She’s fine.” You cut off.
“… o..kay? what happened?” He asked, blinking a few times
“nothing.” You attempted to say nonchalantly.
“I know Lily, she would’ve have ran off for nothing.” He tried to pass you, but you blocked him again.
“She’s changing, James.” You blurted out.
“and…?”
“Don’t be a pervert! go! i’ll bring her back to you when she’s done.” You totally felt like puking at his words.
“fine-fine! okay!” He ran back to the lake, as you heard a sigh from Lily.
“She’s changing? really?” Lily giggled, “Sorry, I just saved your ass.” You snarked.
Lily took a while to dry off, the mossy ground of the forest was dense and moist.
Once she was dry you both took the short journey back to the lake, most sixth years had gone back since the sun was setting, but it spread a gorgeous golden light over the lake.
"What took you so long?!" Pandora stood up infront of us. "Sunsets, Panda, Sunsets." Lily sighed, that was your codeword for "someone touched water.
"ohh..." Pandora tilted her head back slightly, and then she sat down. James looked casually confused at the length of which you two were gone, but you had hoped it wouldn't continue to bug him.
"Oi! Y/N." a mocking tone called out from further down the lake, one you could only recognize as Sirius Black. "The water is great, you could get in it." He chuckled, "Thanks for the offer, but im fine." You really did believe for a moment that you had brushed him off successfully, but of course... "Come onnnn. It'll be fun!" Sirius pursuaded, "i've already said no!" You rolled your eyes at his silly attempts, which were about to not be silly anymore. "Just a little dip!" James yelled jokingly. "she said no, you idiots!" Lily fought, until Sirius scooped you up and tossed you in, before promptly running off with James, Lily and Pandora attempting to keep them away while ultimately forgetting Remus was there.
Remus stood up in a hurry to try to help you, rushing towards the waters edge as the same sparkly bubbles surrounded your legs in the water.
"w-what's happening?' Remus inquired, peering at the water confusedly. "Remus... don't freak out..." You shook your head anxiously, as your tail appeared. it was a sunset-y orange tail with scales and a large fluke.
"I-I..." Remus covered his mouth with a shaky hand. "You have to help me get out of here, Remus..." You pleaded with a gentle, yet anxious tone. "B-But... how is that even...?" He struggled.
"I just need you to tug me out, please!" You held your hand out to him, and he hesitantly grabbed your hand and pulled you out. "H-Have you always been... like... this?" He stuttered. "Its recent, i'll tell you everything later-"
"Y/N!" Pandora ran over, "Remus..." She stuttered out. "W-we can explain-"
"He knows, Panda." Lily nodded.
-
After you girls explained to him what had happened, you could tell he was bewildered. "You cant tell anyone, not even James and Sirius." Lily stated. "if you guys aren't careful enough they will find out on their own, you know." He responded, you three nodded and thanked him before leaving to your dorms.
Remus had one thing to say about today.
"cool."

Gardening headcannons for the pastas please?
thanks for the request! this was very fun to write
wow i guess tumblr wants to be a lil twat today
great plant parents
slenderman, hoodie, jane the killer
they lose their children sometimes but it works out ?
ticci toby, BEN Drowned,  jeff the killer 
call child services
masky, eyeless jack, bloody painter
                                                      -------------
+ slenderman
+ Plant Daddy (TM)
+ it was previously established that slenderman is a good plant papa
+ he doesn’t have a garden per say, because the conditions of the forest around the mansion would in no way allow life to thrive
+ why do you think all the trees are dead
+ he does keep an impressive array indoors though
+ he has a strict schedule for watering his plants
+ he favours leafy plants most
+ you know, anything with big, chunky leaves or an agglomeration of leaves [like ferns]
+ he has a very healthy and gorgeous calathea
+ he also has a fiddle leaf fig plant and rows of english ivy that are starting to expand quite nicely through his room
+ slenderman is the type to bring you potted plants as a gift because he himself has too much of them
+ get him to favour you over other residents in the mansion by buying him new varieties, preferably as a seed. he quite likes tending to it until it sprouts and grows into a healthy plant baby
+ he does have a few flowers such as orchids and peace lilies
+ has somewhat a collection ?
+ some of his plants require lots of care because they are very easy to kill
+ definitely the kind of gardener to grow a plant for 40 years, only to see it bloom for only 10 seconds
+ hoodie
+ he’s probably more of a cactus guy
+ cacti with big spikes that could be used as a weapon
+ toby probably gets stabbed every 1 out of 2 times he goes into his room
+ his very first one was a barrel cactus
+ it’s not rare for the other proxies to bring him a new addition every once in a while
+ like a christmas cactus, courtesy of toby
+ it looks very pretty when it blooms
+ has definitely used his african milk tree as a swatting bat to keep unwanted visitors jeff at bay
+ hoodie might have given toby one of his plants that are less spiky
+ like a bunny-ear cactus
+ hoodie is away often, but his plants do well.
+ sometimes masky takes care of them, when his fellow proxy can’t
+ considering the type of plants he keeps around, hoodie’s probably desensitized to the prickle
+ masky ... well, he might have tossed one of the pots at the wall at some point in frustration
+ hoodie was not pleased.
+ could probably be on par with slenderman, if he actually had the same resources
+ bloody painter
+ it’s not that he’s bad at taking care of plants
+ he just doesn’t really care
+ definitely passes in front of a windowsill or something and go like “oh. that was there.”
+ he’d most likely just buy bouquets for when he wants to paint flowers
+ then, he’d probably dry them and use them as decor
+ dried flowers are very pretty
+ until they disintegrate into pieces and get everywhere
+ it drives helen mad
+ he ends up just tossing them all out
+ it’s totally possible to see him paint a bouquet and give it to jane afterwards
+ she thinks it might be him just being nice (?)
+ he’s actually just trying to rid himself of extra trash
+ jeff the killer
+ this man will probably just take a look around his room one day and think “huh. this place could use some livening up...”
+ so he steals a few plants
+ some of them will probably die immediately because his room does not have the right conditions for them
+ definitely kills a bunch of them 
+ overwatering, underwatering, too much fertilizer, too small of a pot
+ eventually, he starts to get a hang of it though ?
+ and turns out he’s not that bad of a plant dad actually
+ he has one or two succulents and a spider plant
+ definitely names them but shh don’t tell anyone
+ also talks to them or plays his music out loud for them cause he read that it’s apparently good for them?
+ he’d probably lose them all to some kind of plant disease [fungus infection or something]
+ he will mourn little jeff, joseph and jerry
