Slytherin Quidditch Team's wands

It got kinda long... But I haven't written shit in so long do maybe that's better

Terence Higgs - Phoenix feather core, cedar wood

Terence had spent nearly an hour at Ollivander's, trying out different wands before finding the right one. And after his first months at Hogwarts, he sincerely doubted that this wand was really the right one.

Phoenix feather wands have a strong self-initiative and are the hardest to tame. At first, the wand often disobeyed him, but the more he used it, the better they worked together. Both phoenix feather core and cedarwood are highly loyal. I really like the idea of wands matching the character of the wizard, and Terence is extremely loyal to his loved ones and, despite his generally nice nature, is very tenacious and unforgiving. Ollivander's grandfather used to say that you couldn't fool a person with a wand made of cedar, because the tree chose wizards who were perceptive and observant.

Although the beginnings were difficult, with each passing year Terence became better and more in tune with his wand. After a few years, it was debatable whether Terence's wand was more loyal to him or he was to his wand. Also, he takes great care of his belongings and handles them extremely carefully so his wand was in perfect condition for years, serving him for his whole life

Marcus Flint - Dragon heartstring core (antipodean opaleye), hornbeam wood

To quote the Harry Potter wiki's description of the hornbeam, it "selects for its life mate the talented witch or wizard with a single, pure passion, which some might call obsession." Yeah, I think that's pretty self-explanatory.

However, another property of hornbeam is more interesting. These wands were incredibly customizable, literally taking over their owner's moral rules. In the hands of another person, they became useless, as well as when someone tried to do something inconsistent with their owner. I think it's very fitting considering Marcus' family. You know, a noble bloodline house where there are rules that Marcus doesn't agree with and individualism is killed. Flint's wand emphasized being himself and kept him from turning away from his ideals in difficult times. Marcus' parents often took his wand away as punishment, but the wand literally protested, wouldn't let anyone else use it, and when his father tried to force Marcus to do something against him, it would reflect the spells at his father. Marcus became very attached to his wand, which was really powerful in his hands.

Once, Marcus' father, upset, wanted to force him to buy a new wand. Marcus couldn't imagine using another, and to dissuade his father from the idea, he began to convince him that this wand had chosen him, the other would be less suited and would be even worse at magic. Marcus was not the sharpest tool in the shed in school, which was a huge complex for him at the time, adding to his already big self-loathing. However, Marcus was ready to say out loud that he's a shit wizard if there was a chance it would allow him to keep his wand.

The core was from the heart of the antipodean opaleye, a beautiful dragon from New Zealand, which despite its size is quite gentle and does not attack unless it has to

Cassius Warrington - Dragon heartstring core (Ukrainian ironbelly), yew wood

Cassius bought his wand in Bulgaria. In Britain, his combination was not popular. Yew wood had a bad reputation, it was said to attract bad luck and black magic. Little Cass did not understand why such a wand had chosen him, but a few years later he found that he and the wand fit together - Cassius was very unsuperstitious, often looking for trouble for fun, walking under every ladder, petting every black cat. It just amused him how much people, both wizards and muggles, cared about such nonsense. No one could explain how a given superstition would work, but just in case they subordinated their lives to it. So yes, Cass and yew wood went well together.

The wand was also powerful, both the yew and the dragon heartstring had a lot of strength and choses wizards with desire to be great. The dragon heartstring in Cassius's wand came from the Ukrainian ironbelly - the largest dragon, one of the more aggressive and dangerous. As the name suggests, they occurred mainly in Ukraine, which made them more popular in Bulgaria than in Great Britain.

The yew wand buried with the wizard sprouted and guarded the owner's grave, I wanted to mention it because I find it very edgy and romantic at the same time

Peregrine Derrick - Unicorn hair core, hawthorn wood

Hawthorn wands were chaotic. Great both for healing magic, preferred by Derrick, after Hogwarts he became a magimedic after all, but also perfect for curses. The problem was that hawthorn wands often reflected carelessly thrown spells back at the owner.

At first, Perry suffered a lot trying to learn the rules and how the wand works. Only after some time did he understand that there are no rules that he can learn, and he just has to accept acting in chaos. Derrick himself worked best in chaos anyway, he and the wand fit together, it chose him for a reason. Perry always had a mess in which only he could find his way, he focused best and worked in noise. He was from a large family, it was never quiet in his house, so he felt uncomfortable in silence and could not concentrate. He did fifteen things at once, and surprisingly they all turned out better than if he had done them separately (then he probably wouldn't have done half of them).

After some time, Derrick learned to cooperate with the wand and became attached to it, even when it did not always want to act as it should in class when it was required of him. The wand, however, worked perfectly at work. Derrick became a medic at St. Mungo's, and both hawthorn and unicorn hair support healing magic. Derrick and the wand have gotten along great over the years. Perry was close to tears when the core of his wand died and he had to have it repaired. Without it, he felt like he was missing a part of himself, even though he was given a replacement wand and was free to use magic

Lucian Bole - Thestral tail hair core, apple wood

When little Luke heard what the core of the wand that chose him was, he turned pale. As a child, Lucian witnessed a group of strangers crash while flying on a flying carpet, and some drunk passengers ended up falling from a great high which caused death. This obviously affected Luke hard, who from then on preferred muggle ways of transport and was able to see thestrals. So when he heard that his wand had a thestral hair core, he thought it was an unfunny joke, reminding him of his trauma.

Ollivander didn't quite understand the boy's reaction. Indeed, quite a few wizards believed that thestrals were bad luck, but he hadn't expected such superstition from an eleven-year-old. Despite everything, he tried to reassure Luke, explaining to him that many adventures and journeys awaited him because such people were chosen by wands with a Thestral hair core. This piqued Lucian's interest, and he started asking Ollivander about the various wand specs (perhaps the days before the start of the school year when the traffic is incredibly busy is not the best time for such conversations, but Ollivander couldn't let go of educating the kid who was so eager to listen). Lucian was very happy to hear that the apple tree chooses likeable people, leaders with personal charm. Ollivander made Luke promise on a small finger that he would do his best at school and educate himself because apparently, the wand sees in him the ability to achieve great goals and openness to the world.

Lucian actually traveled a lot, he was passionate about getting to know different people and cultures. He also had a strong interest in the muggle world, eventually attending a muggle university. After a lesson in Care of Magical Creatures, he also became more fond of thestrals, seeing that despite their bad press, they are intelligent and gentle

Adrian Pucey - Unicorn hair core, willow wood

Adrian quickly found his wand. To be honest, he wasn't interested in its characteristics, preferring to go shopping instead of reading the description of his wand. His wand worked great from the start, the core of unicorn tail hair was consistent and loyal, it fitted Adrian quickly, and was a great tool.

Adrian had learned more about the characteristics of his wand in a fourth-year Charms class when Flitwick was ill and Binns was teaching instead. The historian wanted to combine their subjects and make a more theoretical lesson about the history of wands and their characteristics. Adrian read the description of his wand core, nodded, matching. He also made a mental note for the future that the hair sometimes needed replacing.

Then he read the description of the willowwood. He read the last sentence of the description and felt personally attacked. "The owner of such a wand was often insecure." Exposed by your own wand. Adrian has indeed always been insecure. This demotivated Adrian a bit in his fight with overthinking and complexes, because he thought that it must have been innate then, if the wand, choosing him as an eleven-year-old, had already noticed it.

During the summer, Lucian forcibly dragged him to Ollivander's shop to explain to him that wands, like the Sorting Hat, see potential and possibilities, but we create who we are. A wizard may have the most powerful wand, but that does not mean that he will be the most powerful, only that with his own work and the right conditions he can be powerful. Luke kept telling Adrian this, but he could see that he wasn't taking it seriously, that he needed an expert (also a stranger who wouldn't really care about him) to tell him that

Graham Montage - Thunderbird tail feather core, ebony wood

Graham had barely entered Ollivander's shop when the wand literally flew towards him and hit him in the chest. Ollivander, genuinely surprised, only commented "I hope you're here for the wand, young man, because this wand wants to be with you very much."

The wand was imported from America. Ollivander struck a deal with the American wand maker Aleshanee Wolfe, a relative of Shikoba Wolfe, so that he had some of her wands for sale and she had some of his wands for sale. This was for mutual promotion in new regions. Still, Ollivander wasn't particularly happy that a wand he hadn't created, had chosen Graham, but there was no denying that they were a perfect match when the wand reacted that way.

The wand, both core and wood, was great for transfiguration, which Graham was a genius at (I have to get my shit together and write a headcanon about Graham and transfiguration). Montague had learned this from Professor McGonagall, who had quickly noticed his great potential and deliberately asked about his wand characteristics to see if the wand that had chosen him also wanted to highlight the boy's Transfiguration abilities. Years later, when Graham had grown to be the best student McGonagall had taught, in conversation Montague mentioned the history of buying a wand, and McGonnagal merely nodded unsuprised.

Graham learned the other features of the wand, just like Adrian, in Charms class with Binns. His ego was greatly flattered when he read that he apparently knows who he is, is steadfast in his beliefs, and does not change under the influence of his surroundings. The wand was difficult to master and tenacious, but that was what made them fit together so well. Graham, stubborn and steadfast, was just the one who was able to master this wand and use it perfectly

Miles Bletchley - Veela hair core, black walnut wood

Miles's shopping at Ollivander's went fairly quickly. Ollivander offered him several wands, and Miles didn't know how he should feel to know that wand was the right one. However, as soon as he picked up this one, he felt that even a simple wave of this wand would be what he was looking for.

Already at Hogwarts, he himself went to Flitwick to ask if he knew about the characteristics of wands, because he had a few questions. Black Walnut is characterized by forcing the wizard to be honest with themself. It dramatically lost power when the owner lied to themself and was dishonest. This suited Miles, who was very boldly seeking himself and reaching for various forms of expression. In the 1990s, he openly painted his nails, used makeup, and wore women's clothes, he never restrained himself from expressing his opinion, he did not act more posh and polite than he was, he did not analyze what would benefit him. After learning about this feature of his wand from Flitwick, back in his 2nd year, he felt more motivated to be himself. He was a kid who had different visions of who he wanted to be but was afraid to try and experiment in fear of being judged by others. However, his own wand motivated him to seek himself and become who he is.

On the other hand, the hair of the veela could be capricious when the wand was not properly cared for and handled roughly and without respect. However, when treated well, in the hands of the right person, it was consistent and subtle, yet powerful. So yeah, Miles' wand was really demanding and high-maintenance

Also, I didnt reread it for correction, sorry. And life update. I worked in call center for 3 months (I would never manipulate someone into contract btw, I made everything crystal clear and none of my clients had any complains) and now I finally have some holidays, idk how it is in other countries but in Poland university year starts in October instead of September. So yeah, i'm going for short vacation now, then I will have to sort and buy and pack my things because im moving out of my family house to another city for uni

hairy disaster - adrian pucey

Description: The boys make you feel a bit better after you try to cut your own hair Warnings: Swearing. Mainly dialogue Word count: 640 A/N: wrote this after absolutely butchering my hair last night and now i have almost a bob no its fine guys i promise.

“I fucked up”

That statement alone was enough to snap Adrians attention away from his conversation with Terence and Graham. When he saw you walk up he smiled, nodding in acknowledgement whilst patting the cushion next to him, careful not to disturb Graham's train of thought. He assumed you would nestle yourself under his arm and join in as they spoke about the upcoming holidays. Yet there you stood completely still, shoulders hunched in defeat and embarrassment.

“What happened?”

He straightens his back a tinge of concern knotting in his stomach. You bite your lower lip scratching at your tied up hair.

“I cut my hair” you pause sighing shamefully “and it’s pretty bad”

“You cut your own hair?” Terence squeaks out eyes brightened in surprise.

“Oh I'm excited to see this,” Graham grins, leaning back in his seat, legs spread open in front of him.

“It can't be that bad” Adrian reassures you but your face twists unconvinced “Go on show us then”

You sigh again, taking your hair in your hands and slowly pulling out the hair band that was protecting your dignity. You want to tell them not to laugh but part of you would rather them do it to your face than later on.

Your hair drops, zigzagged lines, uneven ends. Layers that weren’t supposed to be there.

“Oh it can be that bad” Terence laughs standing up to run his fingers through the choppy hair.

“What the hell did you use? What was it again Terence, a chainsaw?” comments Graham scratching his cheek trying to recall their muggle studies lesson from earlier.

Your gaze travels between them and you grimace as Terences fingers brush through already made knots.

“No, a chainsaw would do a better job than this,” Terence responds, his laugh ringing louder in your ear.

You could take their jokes and stupid remarks knowing their affections as friends wouldnt change. However your stomach churns in fear at Adrians opinion. You’ve known him long enough and been officially together for months to be certain he wouldn't break up with you, not over this at least. When you think about it you had both seen eachother go through every ugly phase and loved each other just the same and even more.

When you finally look at Adrian he has a twinkle of amusement in his eyes and he grins as assesses the damage “Cute”.

“Adrian shut up it's horrible” you groan, slapping away Terences hand just as he tries to undo another knot.

“It's fine we can fix it” his shoulders shrug unbothered.

“No we can’t”

“I'm not sure if you want me to comfort you or agree with you?” he questions, eyebrows frowning with a cheeky smile.

“I don't know either”

“Hey at least it's not as bad as Graham's hair in second year-” Terence begins pointing at his friend reclined back in his seat.

“Enough” Graham interrupts “We’re meant to make her feel better not bully me”

“No that did make me feel better thank you” a weak smile spreads across your face remembering Graham's infamous second year hair. He had shown up after summer holidays wearing a beanie and it wasn't until Miles Bletchley snatched it off his head that everyone saw what lay beneath.

Adrian drags himself up from the seat, cupping your face smiling down at you softly “We’ll go to the hairdressers tomorrow yeah? They’ve got a potion that will grow it out and they can fix it”

He kisses the top of your head before leaning his forehead against yours “Its fine, I promise”

“Thank you”

“Remind me to never let you touch my hair with a pair of scissors though” he hums, sneaking a kiss to your cheek as he grabs your hand to pull you towards the couch.

“Seriously shut up”

matilda - terence higgs

date: august 5, 2022

summary: a love letter to his friends

notes: not romantic

warnings: child abuse

a/n: i’m gonna rant rq but i’ve been feeling horrible recently bc i found out the only cousin i’ve trusted told her mom when i came out as bi (effectively taking away the opportunity for me to come out to my mom on my own), my mom found out thro them that i was suicidal (again before i could reach out for help on my own terms). and they said how much they pity me and feel bad for me. i can’t help but feel betrayed and ridiculed and i’m just frustrated bc i’ve never felt supported by my mom’s side of the family or my dad’s

tags: @limerenze @loverssfevers @ghostofscarley @dayangestre

i didn’t know love until i arrived at hogwarts. i didn’t know care until a group of ruined kids, some more than others, most less than me, took me in. i didn’t know what it felt like to melt into another people.

adrian had a healthy home life. he had the family i always wanted. his parents showed each other affection; his mother had her hands hooked in the crook of her husband’s elbow and her head leaned into his shoulder. his sisters always giggling alongside him. at first it made me sick with jealousy because he had cousins to keep his secrets, to keep him, and i didn’t. at least i didn’t until i met him. i didn’t have someone to keep my heart and my soul warm while i slept and shivered. i didn’t have someone to bandage me when i pretended there was something in my eye but really i was wiping away tears.

marcus didn’t think he deserved the praise we gave him. we argued a lot, him and me. i refused to let him believe everything his old man would tell him. i didn’t realize until one fight we had in front of the whole team and he called me out, marcus was me and i was him. i diminished everything that happened to me, the good and the bad. marcus did what he had to do and he thought that he didn’t deserve anything to compensate for any trouble he might have come across.

miles showed me i can express myself any way i please. he never had an issue with self expression. i learned i don’t have to be mean to get what i wanted. (and i never did get what i wanted, i always felt empty.) miles rearranged me on his bedside table like a supermarket bouquet of flowers. he filled my empty space with baby breath, making the rose thorns in my ribs disappear. my finger nails are no longer jagged and hair doesn’t cover my face. i like my smile (with teeth). i finally like my smile.

derrick didn’t have a voice. he spoke and replied but they were never substantive words. he spoke slowly, in pauses. i later found out if he didn’t think about what he was going to say, his entire day could be ruined. he cried to me once that his mother always apologized for what she did and not what she said. he couldn’t care less than she yelled at him, but he couldn’t stop pressing the wound of being called useless when all he’s ever done is try to stay afloat for her and his siblings. his dad wasn’t not in the picture but he wasn’t fully out of it. “‘i’m sorry for yelling at you, baby,’ that’s what she told me,” he cried into his pillow after coming home from winter break, “i never accepted that apology but she went on the rest of the day acting like i forgave her.” he speaks faster now, more animated. i don’t know he helped me or i helped him. i don’t spit insults like i spit out my gum though.

lucian was a pretty boy. i was actively jealous of him. not because he had anyone he wanted falling to his feet. but because whenever he had a shit night, his shoulders pushed back and his chin stayed high. his afro stayed perfectly around in the off season, his braids were almost neat during the season. he helped miles build me up. i didn’t know it then but he felt the same pressure derrick felt. he had a deadly fear of failing. i didn’t think it was possible for him though.

warrington and montague were brutes, i think that’s why they liked each other more than the rest of us. they get it from their fathers. “i got this from a game of qudditch this summer.” warrington told us. it was a new bruise on the side of his ribs. montague didn’t come back with new bruises or scars, at least not ones we could see. summer before sixth year, his dad kicked him out. both of them got help. they’re doing better now. it took me a while to follow their lead. i know they changed me but while they don’t feel as though they are dragging through the mud, i did. they were able to get to a safer place, both physically and mentally. but i’m only a few meters away from where i started.

i never knew the loves of my life would be a group of nasty teenage boys. but after seven years, my knuckles have been bandaged after fights and my knees have been smoothed over, my heart and soul have been tucked into bed with a bedtime story, and the supermarket flowers were replaced with flowers from my garden.

FlintWood as a Medical Specialties

I've always wanted a FlintWood Au fic of doctors, at least a one shot, but I'm having a hard time trying to imagine Marcus studying such a complicated and time consuming career 100%, because he would be the typical one who wants to leave since the first semester and just doesn't do it for his family and until his fifth semester he realized that he could not do it anymore.

So i prefer doing this.

Of course, it wouldn't be all specialists, most of them would be residents, Katie, Adrian would be interns and Daphne would be the medical student going to internship

But since we are only talking about specialties for the moment.

Marcus Flint

Trauma would be a good choice, those are not afraid of God and when they operate it looks like they are killing someone.

Besides I'm not a fan of grays anatomy but I have in my head the trauma certification that April Kepner did and I'm sure Marcus will do the same shit just to make the other residents cry.

Always decides to be in the ER rotating to see Oliver.

Oliver Wood

Emergency medicine. I need something where Oliver is entertaining and moving around and the ER is never quiet, I like ER for the same reason, you can go from having one patient with a simple food poison to having three bastards in the shock room because they were killing each other.

I can't imagine Oliver in a specialty clinic just consulting, he'd be the deranged guy who would think it was a quiet day after treating a giant car accident.

Adrian Pucey

Pediatrics i am sure Adrian would be perfect for the pediatrics area, the sensation among moms, he wore different cartoon lanyards identification every week.

He would get along very well with the children, and he would take his console to play with the kids in the hospital.

He always loses and not on purpose.

Percy Weasley

Pathology, I don't have a very substantiated reason I just hate Pathology and only Percy could study a subject I hate.

But if it is not pathology, internist

I'm not so much of the idea that Percy would go into a specialty like neurosurgery or something like that, I do feel like he would be looking for something big and possibly if he was in intern medicine he would do a double specialty like infectious disease along with nephrology or hematology.

He's a real prick.

Daphne Greengrass

Oncologist. It's not an easy specialty and to begin with it is a sub specialty, you need to be good and agile to make accurate decisions but above all you need to have the heart.

I don't have the idea of Daphne as a complete stuck up child, she is calm and I am sure that if she couldn't do more to her patient she would be with them all the fucking time.

Odd as it sounds she gets along well with Percy because he is her seconded.

Katie Bell:

Neonatology. If anyone asked her why she chose that specialty she would say that her patients are very polite because they don't talk, she would certainly make a lot of jokes at family parties saying that her children are waiting for her.

She gets along very well with Adrian because he gets to have the patients she had and surely they would send each other pictures of any accessory they buy with the image of a cartoon to buy the same one.

Graham Montague

Resident in General Surgery, surgeons are pretty stuck up, but let's believe Montague would be the cool surgeon who buys you coffee in the morning.

He never looks worried and always goes to bother Marcus and play his respective round of video games with Adrian when he is sent to pediatrics to see a patient (if there is no pediatric surgeon in the hospital, the general surgeon does the operations).

Alicia Spinnett

Sports medicine. She takes advantage of it and some of her patients have given her tickets to several games of different sports, Oliver forces her to take him if they give her an extra ticket.

She gets along well with Marcus and has given him tickets so that he and Oliver can go alone.

I like sports medicine and I just put her there because I have a teacher who has that specialty and I'm sure Alicia would be like that teaching.

Terence Higgs

Psychiatry, he is interested in people from another field and from my point of view, one of the most important, although he might have a hard time when he starts seeing so many people with problems. It is very exhausting at times

He likes to joke and tell Marcus that he has narcissistic tendencies, he forces Adrian to go to a psychologist after one of his patients died.

Angelina Johnson

She would be a nurse for sure.

Head nurse when she was older, she hates it when a doctor thinks she's better than her and when they say the nurse's job is simple she would tell him to his face to do if he believes he's so smart.

If she doesn't like you, believe me, the on-call will not be easy, because she will be one of those who tell you that they will let you sleep on call but in reality they will wake you up after 10 minutes.

George and Fred Weasley.

I would surely study something that went hand in hand.

Fred would be in obstetrics and gynecology and George in pediatric surgery, they would keep talking about opening a hospital and they would hire all of the above mentioned except Marcus.

George would surely go through pediatrics and tell the kids "I brought you the world".

Fred would agree with Katie and Adrian to go together for a celebration like Christmas.
