How I personally would've had Rise of the Titans go

Spoilers under the cut

Alright so, first of all, Douxie wouldn't have lost the seals at the end of Wizards to begin with

After having Charlie read the ancient draconic, Douxie would've kept Merlin's staff intact and decided to break it ONLY when they needed it as a bargaining chip or something

When Douxie returns to see that all his friends sans Krel have been taken, he works with Krel to build the time loop machine thing and maybe we get some extra scenes of them being cute together

He lures the order to the shop again, but instead of ACTUALLY GIVING THEM THE SEALS he creates an illusion of some sort, maybe something made in conjunction with Akiridion tech so the enchantment lasts longer and the Order doesn't find out what's up, and he tosses that into the time loop instead

The rest of Wizards basically goes as planned with Douxie and Nari going on the run, Claire keeps Merlin's staff as the only other one that can do magic and as a failsafe in case the Order ever realizes they don't have the real seals

ROTT starts fairly similar, the team has divised a trap to stop the order once and for all, the team fails and Nari and Douxie swap again, because Douxie is a self sacrificing bitch that would rather be in danger himself than see his friends get hurt

They all regroup, James panics, Striklake engagement reveal, maybe Barbara asks Claire to be her maid of honor? 👀 And they try to figure out a way to get Douxie back

Aja shows up and like I've seen a bunch of other people saying, the seven kisses thing is an engagement ceremony rather than a baby making thing, Steve and Aja both panic, especially when Steve realizes this makes him king(? Prince consort?) Of Akiridion-5, cue line from Krel about how their planet would be doomed if the blonde oaf ended up ruling alongside his sister

Krel and Aja actually get a moment to catch up since it's been a long time since they've seen each other

They go to save Nari and of course Claire and Douxie are there because neither one of them is going to sit behind and they don't trust leaving the staff on Camelot because they're paranoid and somehow, in their attempt to free Nari, the staff breaks

The real Genesis Seals are revealed for the first time and they escape with Nari and one of the seals (because there's like three seals right? I had no idea why all three were in the same place it would've made more sense to separate them don't you think?)

The other two seals are with the Order and things are not looking good, the gang is panicking and they realize that running from the Order forever isn't going to work and that maybe they're not the best at setting up traps

Instead they outfit Nari with some magical/Akiridion mind-control resistance just to be safe and try their hand at setting up another trap with the anti-magic ray thing

The trap once again fails and this time the Order kinda knows what to expect so they end up with Nari and the remaining seal and are able to unleash the Titans, except this time Nari isn't completely brainwashed and they're able to help her break from the orders control quickly

Varvatos arrives with the Gun Robot and teams up with Nari to defeat Skrael's Titan, leaving just Bellroc to defeat

James realizes what's wrong with the amulet but instead of needing some cryptic message from Nari to tell him how to get the sword out of the stone, he remembers the whole "WE are the Trollhunter" speech he gave back in like S2, and that's how he figures out how to get it free

Everyone gives it their all to help Nari's Titan fight Bellroc's and through sheer force they're successful, but at the cost of Nari herself

However they did hear about the kronosphere or whatever it's called from Nari before she died so they hunt down that to try and figure out what the heck she was talking about

It takes a while but they're able to figure out how to combine Merlin's staff with Akiridion tech and part of the Heartstone because they realized how powerful it was (also symbolism for the characters from the three shows coming together) with the kronosphere and manage to make a device that lets them travel through time

This also triggers the memories of the Trollhunter gang and the 3 Below gang from the Porgon incident and they're all like "Hey! Would you look at that"

Anyways, with the rigged up Kronosphere they're able to go back in time and save people (Draal, Vendel, Nari, Merlin, Morgana,etc) just before it's too late so it doesn't have an effect on the timestream (think like the Lost series from Margaret Peterson Haddix where they pull people from the timestream like right before they're about to die so nothing bad happens to time)

The movie ends with the Stricklake wedding, and Jim and Claire are both like "that's gonna be us one day" and everyone lives happily together as one giant found family

I just don't align with anything specifically. But I do believe there's something running things, whether that be spirits, the stars, gods, etc. I can't say.

A song that makes you feel seen: Not to be a theatre kid on main but, Breathe from In The Heights. That song and whole musical hold such a special place in my heart, esp with Nina's character cuz I'm Nina. Every part of that song just Gets Me and i ugh, can't articulate it but yea, that song be me.

If you could pick a career: A writer or painter. Anything creative/artsy really cuz crafting is just so calming to me.

Do you have a type?: ngl, I'm kinda the 'falls in love with their best friend' stereotype but beyond that, not really. I kinda just see attractive people and mentally short circuit

What does your soul/heart yearn for?: Not to sound like a character from Hannibal, but to be understood. To be cared for and feel supported. To allow myself to rest and be comforted/loved. Just to feel safe ig. Whoop, that got personal, anywho

Top 5 fictional characters: Rowena from SPN, Bella Crawford, Beverly Katz, Eve Polastri, and Jack Crawford

Top 3 moments in a show that made you ugly cry:

1. The ending of Your Lie In April. Idk if any of yall have experienced that, but let me know if you have cuz shared trauma. I was crying so hard, I couldn't breathe. Dry heaving and everything, it was Not Pretty

2. Like literally all of One Day At Time. I know, it's cheesy but that show means a lot to me and I get so emotional watching it cuz I connect to the characters so much. Anything with Elena makes me sob cuz like she's me but also my baby, ya know

3. Um Queer Eye in general but specifically the episode with the gay pastor. That hit close to home on so many levels and boy, was I sobbing the entire time.

(Before y'all ask, honorable mention to Mizumono, TWOTL, and the ending of BBC Merlin cuz I may have been too tired to cry, but trust me, I was emotionally wrecked after all three)

Introvert/Extrovert/Ambivert: Gonna say ambivert cuz I can be shy but buckle up, cuz the second I'm comfortable around you, it's absolute chaos. You will learn too much about me and that's okay 😌

Favorite literary quote: If poetry counts, it's something like "And if the devil was to ever see you, he'd kiss your eyes and repent". Idk who wrote it but it's an Arabic love poem. Actual book quote tho, "But I'm tired of coming out. All I ever do is come out. I try not to change, but I keep changing, in all these little ways." from Simon vs. The Homosapiens Agenda cuz damn me too.

No real specifics for Europe, defiently leaning more towards Western Europe and the Mediterranean cuz they just seem so pretty. And NY cuz I want a studio apartment hehe and also I adore NY. I went a couple years back and just fell in love. Although live is a loose term cuz I've always thought of moving around a lot. I like traveling and settling down isn't really convenient for that so these are kinda just ideals lol

If you could live in any time in history, when would it be?: Oh, defiently 60s/70s. Also, anytime matriarch societies were common cuz I wanna see what that looked like

If you could play any instrument masterfully, it would be: the acoustic guitar and piano. Maybe violin, but those two for sure

A/N: This took me forever to finish, but here is part three of ‘Where have you been all this time’. I hope you will enjoy this part of the story.

I hope you will enjoy it!

Words: 4.3k

_________________________________________________

“You are not going to leave before Charlie comes here, are you?”

You turned around to look at Penny and shook your head. “No, that would be really unfair to him…” You mumbled to Penny.

“Good. I mean, I like having you around here, but you have basically run away from Charlie.” Penny pointed out. “Besides, I think you two have a lot to talk about now… Don’t you think so?”

You grimaced, knowing exactly what Penny was talking about. You had found out about the news a few days after you arrived at Penny’s place. You didn’t know what to think about it. You never talked about it with Charlie before. You might have been in a relationship for a while, but you have never talked that certain topic you wanted to avoid now. A long-distance relationship for two years and you have been living with Charlie like three months before you left.

“Y/N, you are going to tell him, aren’t you?” Penny asked, giving you a stern look.

“I… I don’t know, Penny.” You said honestly. “I want to help and I don’t think people will let me help if they know… Especially Charlie won’t let me, I’m sure of it.”

“Bloody hell, Y/N… He has the right to know about this. You can’t just keep this from him!” Penny said honestly.

You frowned a little. “I know I should tell him, but does it really matter if I just keep this to myself? I mean, there is a bloody war out there! For all I know I could die, Charlie could die, and….”

“You will regret it if you don’t tell him… What if he dies without knowing about it? How would you feel about that?”

You ran a hand through your hair and took a deep breath. “I just… I just don’t know what to do… I didn’t even think about this once. For Merlin’s sake, I’m supposed to be a Curse-Breaker! I have to travel around the world to do my job? How will I continue doing my job after… after…”

Penny placed a hand on your shoulder. “You will figure something out, I’m sure you will.”

“How can you be sure?”

“I just have a good feeling about it.”

“When will he be here?” Penny asked, changing the topic just a little bit. She wanted to help you prepare for it.

“Probably somewhere in the afternoon.” You mumbled.

“Why don’t you relax in the meantime? Take a shower to calm down your nerves and then read a book or something.”

“Don’t you need some help with brewing potions?”

“I’ll be fine.” She said with a smile. “Come on, just try to relax.”

You sighed and nodded before you slowly left the room. You followed Penny’s suggestion and decided to take shower. Perhaps it could take you mind off thinking about it. You were so nervous about two things. You needed to relax a little. You knew panicking wasn’t going to help you, especially not at this point. You already panicked about it when you found out. You had spent hours panicking and crying, Penny had to brew you a Calming Draught to help you out. You felt sorry she had to waste her potions ingredients on you, but she said it was okay.

You took a longer shower than usual, feeling slightly better afterwards. You still were nervous about seeing Charlie again. Hopefully you would be able to talk without breaking down. Especially because of the thing you found out. You left to feel useful, but you felt even worse when you figured out what was going on with you. Of course, you would probably have ignored all the signs if Penny didn’t point them out for you. The timing for it was terrible and you were anxious about the whole thing. You kind of wanted to ignore it, but you couldn’t do it.

Once you were dressed you went over to the living room, sitting down on the couch. You noticed Penny had left a book for you on the same couch. She was definitely looking after you, probably worried you would panic again.

You sighed softly and then you began reading the book Penny had picked out for you. It definitely was interesting, because you almost didn’t notice when someone knocked the front door. You gulped and slowly put the book aside. You stood up and walked over to the front door.

Before you could open it, Penny stopped you.

“You know we can’t just open it.” She told you softly. “Even if it is Charlie, we can’t assume he’s the one who is behind the door…”

You nodded lightly and then you slowly grabbed your wand.

Penny grabbed her wand as well and pointed it towards the door before she opened it. Of course, Charlie was standing there, but someone else as well. Penny never told me Ben was also going to be here.

“State your business.” Penny said, still not lowering her wand.

“Penny, it is just us.” Ben said softly.

“And how can I be sure about that?” She asked.

“For Merlin’s sake, just let us pass Penny…” Charlie muttered before his eyes met yours.

“Just to be sure….” Penny mumbled. “Revelio!”

Nothing happened. You could still see Charlie and Ben standing there.

“Okay, you two can come in.” Penny said with a small smile, letting the two young men in.

You stared at Charlie for a moment. Once he approached you, you glanced away, not sure what to tell him. Heck, what would you say to him? Sorry you ran away? You wouldn’t have run away from him if he would just let you help. You two have been arguing so many times about it. Now, if you knew about your situation back then, perhaps things would have turned out differently… Or maybe it would have turned out the same way no matter what.

Penny grabbed Ben’s hand. “Let’s discuss our plans somewhere else, Ben.” She said before you basically dragged Ben, who looked a little confused, out of the room. You knew exactly what Penny was doing. She wanted to give you and Charlie some privacy. She kept telling you, you and Charlie needed to talk things through and she would definitely make sure it would happen as comfortable as possible.

You watched them leave before you stared at Charlie again. He just seemed to stare back at you. It was like both of you didn’t know what to say to each other at this point. You only talked briefly with Charlie when you fire called him to let him know where you were. You didn’t discuss much over the fire call. You wouldn’t have known what to say either.

“Maybe we should sit down when we talk…” Charlie suggested.

You nodded and then you two walked over to the couch you sat down on earlier. You couldn’t read Charlie’s facial expression. It seemed to be very neutral, like he was trying to hide something. You guessed he was probably angry with you for leaving. Once you both sat down, you stared at each other again.

Charlie gently took your hand and frowned a little. “Y/N, I have never meant for you to feel useless and trapped when I was helping the Order out… I mean, I just wanted you to be safe. You could be seen as a target as well, since you are the one who solved the mysteries around the Cursed Vaults. The Death Eaters might see you as a threat…”

You were surprised Charlie seemed to be apologizing for making you feel that way. “The Death Eaters will see you as a threat as well, Charlie. You are in the Order and your whole family is the Order.” You said honestly. “I just thought it would be better if you didn’t do things alone, you know? Also, to protect you during these times.”

“I know you wanted to protect me as well. I guess, I felt very protective over you once the war began. I just wanted to keep you as safe as possible.” He gently squeezed your hand. “I don’t want to lose you again.”

Of course, he was afraid he would lose you again. You have been gone for years after you graduated from Hogwarts. You ran a hand through your hair, wondering if you made a mistake by just leaving him. You wondered if he would even forgive you for such a move. Still, you knew you would probably have done it regardless. Although if you knew about the thing you found out at Penny’s place you might not have left…

You glanced away from him, almost tearing up when you thought about it some more. How were you even going to tell him about this? You knew Penny was right about Charlie having the right to know about this, but you were afraid. What would he do when he knows about this? You two weren’t even married. You have been together for about two years. Would he be ready for this…? You weren’t even sure if you were ready for it either. Especially in this time, it was more of a nuisance than anything good.

This thing would change so many things. Not just during the war, but also for the future. And what kind of future would there be? You would have to change your entire lifestyle for this. You just weren’t sure you would be able to do this…

“Y/N…?”

You looked at Charlie again, feeling he held your hand a bit tighter.

‘He has the right to know about this.’ Penny’s voice echoed through your head again, thinking you might be able to say it right now. You opened your mouth to speak, but weren’t able to say anything when Penny and Ben burst into the room.

“We have to move!” Penny said seriously. “Now!”

Charlie let go of your hand stood up. “What’s going on?”

“Death Eaters… They are near…” Penny looked very serious. It was like she knew they wouldn’t have a chance if they stayed at her place.

“They would search this place too… They did so in the last place I went to as well.” Ben said softly, although he looked just as serious as Penny looked.

You stood up as well and knew you would have to grab one of the bags you had packed with Penny for emergencies like these. You walked over to the bag and grabbed one.

Penny did the same and grabbed the other bag. “All right, let’s go…” She said, making sure her wand was in reach in case of a true emergency.

You, Ben and Charlie followed Penny out of her place. Penny quickly used a spell on her place to make it look more abandoned. After she had done that, she motioned to you all to follow her. So, you all followed her, hoping the Death Eaters wouldn’t have noticed you.

When you were running, you noticed things were starting to look blurry after a while. Where you that out of shape…? You knew there was nothing to do about it, knowing the adrenaline would help you to keep going, but you definitely weren’t running as well as you used to do. You also felt a little nauseous, definitely not helping you at this situation. You kept telling yourself mentally you just needed to keep going as long as was necessary. Apparating or travelling by Floo Powder wasn’t an option. There was a bigger chance of being seen if you aren’t sure if the area you go to is safe, besides, it would probably make your nausea worse.

Charlie had noticed you were falling behind a bit and grabbed your hand, hoping it would help you with keeping up with the rest. He could tell something was going on, but there wasn’t anything he could do right now. They just needed to get away from this place, making sure there wouldn’t be any Death Eaters nearby. He wondered what Penny’s next plan was. Would she return to her place when the coast was clear again? Or did she have another hiding place they were heading to? Did you know what Penny’s plan was? You seemed to be just as prepared as Penny was at this point, grabbing the necessary stuff only when you all fled the place.

Penny knew this could happen at any point. She had seen it happening at another place too before she had her own hideout. She had secretly been helping Muggleborns hide from the Death Eaters, especially because a few of her friends were Muggleborns. Also, she was scared because her mother was a Muggleborn. She got separated from her family when they had to flee. Penny was certain her mother was hiding somewhere in the Muggle World with her Muggle father and Beatrice; it was probably the best way to stay low. She just hoped they were fine, since she hadn’t been in contact with her family for quite a while now.

Penny kept in touch with Ben, since some Death Eaters had been after him. Also, it helped they both could do something to heal people. Penny was a Potioneer and managed to make amazing Healing Potions. Ben had become a Healer and knew quite some useful charms and powerful healing spells to help others out. Penny thought it would be good if they somewhat stuck together during these dark times, thinking they would be able to help some people in need whenever it was necessary.

Penny stopped running after a little while and looked around her. She quickly scanned the area, panting softly for running so long. “I think we are somewhat safe here…”

Ben also panted a little, although he had been used to running away from different places during these times. “We probably have to keep moving though… I mean, we haven’t reached the other spot...

Penny looked at you and Charlie and then she walked over to you, looking a bit worried. “Are you all right? You didn’t seem to be able to keep up the pace…”

“I…I’ll be fine, just give me a moment.” You said softly, trying to stay calm. You were still nauseous, feeling like you would throw up if you didn’t stay calm.

Penny looked at Charlie. “What about you?”

“I’m fine.” He said honestly and then he looked at you. “Y/N, are you sure you would be all right…?”

“Positive…” You mumbled.

“I can do a quick check-up if you want.” Ben offered.

You shook your head. “It’s not necessary.” You gave Penny a look like you were saying ‘help me out of this’.

Penny quickly took notice of this and then she wrapped an arm around your shoulder. “She is fine, just a little under weather the past few days. Right, Y/N?”

You nodded when Penny said that. “Yeah, I’m just a little under the weather.”

“She just didn’t want to make anyone worried about her.” Penny said softly, trying to convince Charlie and Ben.

Charlie and Ben both nodded, but they didn’t seem to be really convinced by your and Penny’s words.

_______________________

“I assume you haven’t told him yet…” Penny whispered to you when you two were a bit ahead of Ben and Charlie, walking towards the second hideout.

“I was about to tell him, but…”

“Then we had to leave, I get it. Still, you shouldn’t wait too long… I mean, you should probably go back with him to Romania if you are… you know?”

You frowned a little, knowing it wasn’t really safe to stay her in the United Kingdom. “I know I probably should, but I want to help out here…”

“There are other ways of helping out during these times too… I know you want to fight, but I’m not sure if that would be wise.”

“Then what do you expect me to do? I mean, I’m a Curse-Breaker, not a Healer nor Potioneer. I’m good at Defence Against the Dark Arts.”

“You have other talents too, Y/N.”

“I don’t think these talents will be really helpful right now.” You mumbled softly.

“You would be able to tell who the imposters are with your Legilimency.” Penny said seriously.

You frowned a little. Your Legilimency… You haven’t been really using it, feeling like you would invade someone’s privacy too much if you used the ability. It was handy during your search for your Cursed Vaults and some other Curse-Breaking Adventures with Jacob, but you didn’t always like what you saw. Luckily, Jacob was a Legilimens too.

“I know you aren’t too fond of this ability, but it would be really helpful if you want to help the right people and manage to keep the bad people out.” Penny said honestly. “You have become more skilled at it after all.”

“I suppose I could give it a shot… I mean, I owe you… And I don’t feel like I have been helpful enough when I stayed with you.” You said honestly.

“Rubbish, you have been helpful, but it would definitely help us out, you know? I’m pretty sure all the Muggleborns would be happy too if they are certain the place is safe. No more backstabbing traitors would be inside the hideouts.”

You knew there were spies who would try to betray everyone who tried to help Muggleborns and even some Muggles. You would have to just get over the fact you don’t like using the ability. You were afraid you would use Legilimency too much and use it because of your paranoia or just to know more of someone even though it wasn’t really necessary.

“Just let me know what your plans are… If you are going back with Charlie, I understand it’s not going to happen, but if you are staying here… Just think about it, okay?”

After a little while, Penny smiled slightly. “We are here.” She said softly and then she walked over to place. She held her wand in her hand and began making her way inside hideout. She was definitely checking the place wasn’t found by anyone else yet.

Ben decided to follow Penny, wanting to make sure he could help out if someone was in there. It would be good to have someone to get her back in case it was needed.

You and Charlie waited outside and made sure you would keep a close eye on your surroundings.

“I suppose we have to wait a little longer before we can finish our conversation.” Charlie said suddenly.

“I guess… I mean, we definitely have to talk.” You said softly once again feeling your nerves coming back.

….

You two were still waiting for Penny and Ben to come back and things were feeling a little tense.

“What were you and Penny talking about earlier...?” Charlie decided to ask.

“Oh… We were talking about ways to keep traitors out of the hideouts.” You said softly and then you looked at him.

“Ah, I see.” Charlie said softly. “You just seemed to look a bit uncomfortable. I mean, your body language showed me that.”

Of course, Charlie would be able to see that. It was probably something he had learnt when you two were living together.

“Penny suggested I could use Legilimency in order to figure out if we can trust people. It would make things safer for people who need protection.” You said softly, frowning slightly.

Charlie frowned a bit. “And you don’t like using Legilimency that much, do you...? I mean, I know you used to tell me you felt like it was wrong to read or see other people’s minds.”

“Wouldn’t you feel uncomfortable to see all these memories and thoughts of other people, especially when they have seen or done something horrible?”

Charlie nodded a bit. “I suppose that makes sense; I don’t think it would be pleasant at all.”

“Also… I’m afraid I would lose control, you know? It’s a powerful ability and it needs to be used responsibly.”

“… I don’t think you would lose control. You have a strong mind and you know what’s right or wrong.” Charlie said honestly. “You would know how to use it responsibly, I’m sure of it.”

You looked at Charlie surprised, wondering why he still seems to think so well about you. Why wasn’t he mad at you? You left him without telling where you were going. You only left a letter for him to find out you had left his place. And why? Because you wanted to fight during the War. He was only trying to protect you.

“Y/N…?”

Your vision was getting blurry. You felt like cursing yourself, knowing exactly what was happening.

“Y/N!”

_______________________

“Why can’t I check up on her…? I mean, there might be something wrong with Y/N…”

“Yeah, it doesn’t make sense, Penny. Why can’t Ben check up on her…? I definitely think something is wrong.”

You heard the two voices softly, slowly regaining your consciousness.

“Because… Well… I know what is going on with her.” You recognized Penny’s voice.

“Then tell us what is wrong with her.” That was definitely Charlie.

“It would also be helpful if you tell me, so I can do something to make her feel better.” Yeah, you also recognized Ben’s voice.

“I can’t tell you that.” Penny mumbled. “She has to tell you herself.”

“You can’t be serious… What if she actually needs help?” Charlie said, sounding a bit frustrated.

“I promise you; she is okay. She probably was just dizzy. It can happen.” Penny said softly, not wanting to tell what was going on with you.

“Does this have to do something with what she wants to tell me…?”

“I’m not saying anything.”

“So, it’s about the thing she wants to tell me.”

“What thing…?” Ben asked, sounding a bit confused.

“Y/N wanted to talk about something with me.” Charlie said seriously.

You slowly opened your eyes, realising you weren’t in the woods anymore. You definitely were inside the hideout. Your eyes met two brown eyes, knowing exactly who you were looking at right now.

“Y/N, are you feeling okay?” Charlie asked softly.

“I’m okay.” You said softly, trying to sit up, but Charlie gently made you lie back down again.

“Stay down a little longer, you probably are still dizzy.” He said softly, looking concerned at you.

“Maybe, but I’m fine, really… It’s not the first time it happened.” You mumbled softly.

“What do you mean? How often has this happened?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.

Crap, why did you tell him this when you haven’t told him why it was happening in the first place…?

Penny could tell you needed to talk to Charlie now. She grabbed Ben’s hand. “I need your help with setting things up here now.”

“Now?” Ben asked, looking a bit confused.

“Yes, now.” Penny said and then she pulled him along. “Come on, Ben. We need to make this hideout perfect for Healing sessions. I’m sure Charlie would be able to keep an eye on Y/N.”

“Well, okay then.” Ben said, yelping softly when Penny almost pulled him out of the room with her.

You and Charlie were left alone in the room. It was quiet for a moment. It was just like the moment you saw him again for the first time in a while. It just felt weird…

Charlie looked you straight in the eyes, like he was making sure you were going to tell him the truth. “Can you tell me what is going on now…? This all is making me very concerned about your health and safety.”

You bit your lip for a moment, not being able to look away from him though. “You deserve to know the truth, Charlie… Although, I haven’t found out it too long ago either… I guess I found out about it last week…?”

“What did you find out, Y/N? You can tell me.” He said softly.

“I… I just don’t want you to think this is the reason why I left… B-because it’s not, okay…?” You were feeling really nervous again. “I… I didn’t even know when I left… I-…”

Charlie took your hands in his and kept looking with a calm expression on his face. “I believe you, okay…? Just try to tell me what is going on.”

You once again felt like crying. “Just… just try not to get mad…”

“I will try.” Charlie said softly, trying to reassure you.

“I’m pregnant.”

Things were getting quiet again. Charlie’s eyes had widened. He looked completely shocked, like he was petrified.

You knew this wasn’t something he was expecting, something he wasn’t expecting at all. It wasn’t something you were expecting to happen either, but here you were, telling him what was going on with you.

“You… You are pregnant…?”

You nodded a bit, once again biting your lip.

He definitely didn’t know what to say. You could see it in his eyes. He seemed to be surprised, shocked and definitely scared.

“I…I’m so sorry… I didn’t know this would happen, Charlie… I… I don’t even know what to do at this point…” You said, avoiding his gaze when your eyes became watery. “Please… I didn’t mean for this to happen…” You began hiding your face in your hands, not wanting him to see you cry.

Suddenly, you were pulled into Charlie’s arms, keeping you close against him. He had you in a tight grip, like he wasn’t going to let you go. It was like he though you were going to disappear if he let you go.

You were crying against Charlie’s chest right now. Not making a sound, just letting the tears roll down your face.

“We will find a solution…” Charlie whispered, burying his face into your shoulder. “I promise you, Y/N.” He knew he would have to come up with a plan soon. He needed to keep you safe and sound. He definitely wasn’t going to lose you again after everything what happened.

***************************************************************************************

It all started on a mountainside in the United States. 15 year old Remus met a spunky muggle while he was hiking on a family vacation, and he took a liking to her. His parents liked the location, so they decided to make annual trips there, and every time they visited, Remus got to spend time with his friend. The summer before 7th year, Remus invited Sirius along with him. The Potters weren’t doing anything special, and Remus thought Sirius would enjoy getting away from everything in the wizarding world for six whole weeks. Remus has been texting Y/N leading up to the trip, informing her that he was bringing a friend along, and warning that his friend was a massive flirt and to just ignore any crude comments he made. It wasn’t until four days into the trip was when Remus and Sirius we’re finally able to get out of the cabin and meet Y/N in the nearest town.

Y/N spotted Remus’s lanky body walking through the door just before her phone went off with another text message.

“Gee, thanks, Rem,” Y/N rolled her eyes as Remus and his friend sat down across from her in the booth. “I couldn’t tell.” “Just making sure you knew,” Remus gave her a sarcastic smile, but it quickly transformed into a genuine one. “It’s good to see you, Y/N/N,” he told her. “It’s good to see you, too,” Y/N smiled. “Who’s your friend?” She nodded in Sirius’s direction. “Oh, right. This is my best friend Sirius. We share a dorm at school,” Remus started. “Sirius, this is Y/N-“ “I’m his vacation bestie,” Y/N interrupted him with a smirk. “If you’re his best friend on holiday, but I’m his best friend that he brought on holiday, what does that mean?” Sirius tilted his head slightly. “That means you take the back seat, buddy. You’re in my territory now,” Y/N declared playfully. “Well alright, that’s fair,” Sirius chuckled. “It’s nice to meet you,” he grinned. “You too,” Y/N smiled back. “So what do you guys want to eat? I’m starving,” Y/N exaggeratedly groaned, eyes going wide as she began to scan the menu.

“I swear, every time I eat here it gets better,” Y/N sighed contentedly as she covered her empty plate with her napkin. “I definitely agree,” Remus nodded and he finished up his meal as well. “I’m sold on American food, we’re never going back,” Sirius leaned back, eyes blissfully closed. “Maybe we’ll move here when we finish school,” Remus offered jokingly. “Deal. Yes. Let’s start looking for flats now,” Sirius sat up as he nodded enthusiastically, earning a laugh from Y/N. “Do you guys have plans for the rest of the day, or do you want to come over?” Y/N offered. “I wouldn’t mind coming over,” Remus shrugged. He turned to Sirius. “How about you, mate?” “Yeah, I’m game,” Sirius nodded.

Remus reached for his wallet but Y/N stopped him. “I was kidding, I’ve got it,” she laughed as she reached in her bag. “No way. I brought a guest. I’ll pay,” Remus insisted. “You’re on vacation. Let me get it,” Y/N told him with a smile. “Not happening,” Remus shook his head. It was then that the two bickering teens noticed the waitress leaving the table and the check missing. Both of their eyes shot up to Sirius. “You snooze, you lose,” he shrugged with a smirk. “I’m covering the tip!” Y/N declared, quickly slamming a bill on the table. “Oops,” she muttered as people turned their heads to see the commotion. “Ready to go?” She asked.

“We’re home!” Y/N shouted as she closed the front door behind Remus and Sirius. “Remus brought a friend!” She added. “Remus, it’s good to see you, son! How have you been?” Y/N’s dad asked as the teens entered the living room. “I’ve been good, sir. Looking forward to being finished with school,” Remus grinned as he shook Y/N’s dad’s hand. “My, you’re so tall!” Y/N’s mother exclaimed as she squeezed the lanky boy into a hug. Remus just smiled as he hugged her back. “Mr. and Mrs. Y/L/N, this is Sirius, my best friend and flatmate at school,” Remus announced. “Sirius, this is my mom, Y/M/N and my dad, Y/F/N,” Y/N told Sirius. He shook Y/F/N’s hand and leaned into to shake Y/M/N’s, but she pulled him into a hug. “It’s nice to meet you both,” Sirius smiled. “Yeah, so we’re gonna go to my room,” Y/N announced. “Door open,” Y/N’s mom instructed with a serious tone. “Mom!” Y/N groaned, embarrassed at what her mother was insinuating. “Don’t talk back to your mother,” her father snapped. Sirius noticed Y/N’s smile fade, but she quickly replaced it as if nothing happened. “Let’s go,” she mumbled as she started towards her bedroom.

“Uh, yeah. So this is my room,” Y/N shrugged as she plopped onto her bed. “Make yourself comfortable.” Sirius tried not to be in awe at how many things she had that he’d never seen before. He occupied his mind by looking at pictures and trinkets she had on her desk. “How did you two meet, anyway?” Sirius asked, picking up a pen from Y/N’s desk and examining it closely. “We were hiking up the same trail and I saved him from a mountain lion,” Y/N replied nonchalantly. “You did what?” Sirius’ eyes went wide and he dropped the pen. “It was a rabbit, actually,” Remus spoke up. “You thought it was a mountain lion,” Y/N smirked. “Moony, how the hell did you mistake a rabbit for a mountain lion?” Sirius asked incredulously. “Well, I couldn’t exactly see it,” Remus sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. “We were on the trail and a bush rustled, and our good ol’ friend Remus panicked, thinking we were about to be attacked by a mountain lion. I however, knew that there are in fact, no mountain lions here, so I threw a stick next to the bush and out came a frightened little bunny,” Y/N laughed and nudged Remus. “I decided to let him stick around because he seemed like he needed the help,” she laughed.

“In my defense, I’m not exactly from here,” Remus smiled brightly at her. “Whatever you say, Moony,” Y/N teased, repeating the nickname Sirius had previously used. Remus’s eyes went wide. “What’s the deal with that, anyway?” She asked. “Well, at our school, our group of friends are known for our pranks and-“ Sirius began, but Y/N cut him off. “Actually, never mind. I just thought about it and I really don’t want to know,” she laughed, shaking her head. “Are you sure? We’ve got some stories,” Sirius waggled his eyebrows. “Ew no! Oh my god! I’m sure,” Y/N waved her hands as she laughed and shook her head. “I’m good, trust me.” “Suit yourself,” Remus shrugged playfully.

“Hey, what’s this?” Sirius asked, picking up Y/N’s U Speaker and examining it. Remus’s eyes went wide. “Oh, it’s a Bluetooth speaker,” Y/N told him. “Hold down the button on the bottom.” Sirius had no idea what Bluetooth meant, but he did as Y/N said and pressed the button, jumping with the little round thing jingled. He nearly dropped it when it started blasting out music, he couldn’t hide the shock from his face. Remus grimaced to himself. “I know, it’s little but it’s loud,” Y/N laughed, interpreting his surprise as being at the volume. “Yeah, really loud,” Sirius nodded. “Sorry, I’ll turn it off,” Y/N laughed. “You don’t have to turn it off,” Remus told her. “Maybe just turn it down a little?” He suggested. “I can do that, too,” Y/N shrugged. “I’m gonna go get a bottle of water. Do you guys want one?” She offered as she stood up from her bed. The boys gave her a nod and a “yes please” and Y/N left the room.

“Alright man, listen. Do not ask her about anything else. If you have any questions, wait and ask me later,” Remus sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Do all muggles have that little speaking thing?” Sirius grimaced. “Not that exact one, but yes. Most of them have something similar and would be able to spot that it was a Bluetooth speaker,” Remus nodded. “What is blue tooth? Why is it blue? That thing was gold?” Sirius furrowed his eyebrows and Remus groaned. “Merlin, I should have tutored you in muggle before I brought you here. Haven’t you ever taken a muggle studies class? Bluetooth isn’t actually blue. And before you ask, it has nothing to do with teeth. It’s a kind of wireless connection between two devices,” Remus explained. “I always thought muggle studies was a waste of time but I’m quickly realizing that not taking that class was a mistake,” Sirius frowned. “Clearly. I’ll teach you the basics when we get home, just don’t ask any more questions,” Remus pinched the bridge of his nose.

The rest of the evening went smoothly, other than the accidental odd question from Sirius. The teens put on a series of movies, made themselves comfortable on Y/N’s bed and in her desk chair, and chatted amongst themselves throughout them. 10:50 rolled around and Y/N spoke up. “Alright, not that I’m not having fun, but Remus knows the rule. You guys have to be out of the house and off of the property by 11,” she told them. “Wait, seriously?” Sirius laughed as Y/N logged out of Netflix and turned off her television. “Yeah, Y/N’s dad usually doesn’t let boys stay over past nine, but Y/N and I are only friends, and her dad likes me so we get a little extra time,” Remus shrugged. “And I thought my parents were the only ones with weird rules,” Sirius joked. “Nope, we’ve all got them. Now get out before you aren’t allowed over anymore,” Y/N smiled, playfully pushing the boys toward her bedroom door. “Yeah, Yeah, we’re going,” Remus rolled his eyes as Y/N began walking the two boys through her living room and to the front door.

“It was good to see you, Mr. Y/L/N,” Remus called to Y/N’s dad who was sitting on the couch, waiting for the boys to leave before he went to bed. “You, too, son,” Y/N’s father called back. Remus nudged Sirius before Y/N closed the door. “It was nice to meet you, sir. Thank you for letting us spend the day in your home,” Sirius called. “Anytime-“ Y/N’s dad started, but Y/N shut the door. “Thanks for hanging out and letting me show you my poor taste in movies,” Y/N grinned. “I actually liked them,” Sirius shrugged. “Figures you’d have rotten taste in movies,” Remus muttered. “I heard that, you prick,” Y/N playfully elbowed him in the side. “It’s two against one, the movies were good,” she stuck her tongue out. “I’ll see you soon?” She asked, pulling Remus into a hug. “Yeah, we’ll be in touch. Maybe you can come hang out with my folks tomorrow,” Remus agreed as he picked her up and swung her around as he hugged her. “Sirius, it was nice meeting you. I’m glad you came with Remus,” Y/N smiled, opening her arms to offer Sirius a hug as well. “Yeah,” Sirius nodded with a smile. “Me too,” he stepped forward to hug her and gave her a tight, but meaningful squeeze.

As the boys stepped off the porch and made their way to the end of the yard, Y/N called after them, “See you soon!” “See you!” Sirius grinned back, turning to face her and walking backwards to keep up with Remus. “Hey, text me,” Y/N called with a grin. “We’ll see,” Sirius shot her a wink and one more famous Sirius Black grin before turning back and walking with Remus. Sirius took a breath to say something but Remus cut him off, “I know that look in your eye and I’m going to stop you right there,” he told Sirius. “The answer is no. No, I will not help you get her. No, you cannot date her. No. No,” Remus shook his head. “But Moony! She’s so pretty and funny and different from anyone I’ve ever met!” Sirius sighed dreamily. “She’s different because she’s a muggle, Sirius. She’s my friend and I love her, but we have to keep her a safe distance from our world,” Remus said with finality. Sirius sighed in defeat.

“Anyway, do you still have questions?” Remus asked. “So many!” Sirius exclaimed. “First and foremost... what is a text and how do I do it to her?” He asked. “It isn’t something you do to someone.. well you kind of do but.. don’t say it like that. It’s weird. A text is a message you send between phones,” Remus explained. “Oh, is that the little thing you use to talk to her?” Sirius slightly cocked his head to the side. “Yeah, we’ll have to get you one,” Remus nodded. “Why don’t you just send her an owl?” Sirius raised a brow. “Because muggles don’t do that. Plus, it’s faster,” Remus shrugged. “Faster than sending an owl?” Sirius gasped. “Oh Padfoot,” Remus sighed. “You have so much to learn,” he swung his arm around Sirius’s shoulder as they walked down the dark street to the Lupin’s place.

[Spoiler Alert!!!!!!] Random speculations about Merlin/Harry in Kingsman

Rumours have been circulating around that the character Merlin from KTSS would be portrayed as non-heterosexual in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s much acclaimed adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic series.

Spoiler alert, this has not proved true in said sequel. However, as someone who never boards the ship that is Merlin/Galahad, oddly enough, I somehow walked out of the cinema more convinced than ever that Merlin/Galahad now stands a greater chance of turning canon (should FOX opt for, say, a third sequel to the series). This post is not concerned as much about commenting on the film as about sharing my speculations. If someone else agrees with some of the points discussed, great to know; if not, it’d still be helpful to be acquainted with different perspectives.

1. Merlin does stand a chance of surviving that landmine.

We have seen at least one picture taken behind the scene of the amazing actor Mark Strong with green-screen legs, in full Scottish formal attire, the only one likely occasion for this being Eggsy’s wedding. Creating tragic premise and motivation for revenge by convincing the protagonists, falsely, that someone they care about is killed off by the antagonists has been applied millions of times in recent-year Hollywood blockbusters, Marvel Studios’ The Avengers and Thor: The Dark World AND Kingsman: The Secret Service to list but a few.

2. Harry Hart’s sexual orientation, like Merlin’s, is one among the many loose ends yet to be tied up.

What’s worth paying attention to is that nearly ALL of the few lines about Harry’s sexuality in the two films are playing with the idea that he gives a stereotypically queer impression to strangers. In KTSS, we have one of the thugs assuming that Harry is looking for a rent boy; Harry tells the lady in South Glade Mission Church that he is having an affair out of wedlock with his boyfriend, mostly making it up to annoy her, yes, but that does not necessarily mean that EVERYTHING in that punchline is made-up. This time, in KTGC, we have one scene echoing the Black Prince Pub fight in the first, with one of the local thugs hurling even more outrageous insults at Harry, all about him looking gay. And oh if you don’t mind me over-interpreting that brief exchange he has with Elton—I’ve asked a friend about whether that’s to be interpreted as a full-on parallel (with very subtle innuendo) to Eggsy’s encounter with Tilde in the first film, and both of us think that it’s a possibility. None of them are statements to be taken seriously by the audience, sure, but at least should Harry turn out to be non-heterosexual, I think most of the reasonable audience will not be surprised because of all the half-serious punchlines building up to that. Moreover, in both of the pub fight scenes, supposedly iconic of the KSM films now, Harry snaps and delivers that 3M line precisely when they take the insults on his sexuality way too far. I doubt if they make any hints on Harry’s sexuality on purpose, and it would be equally perfectly logical that Harry would stay without romantic interactions with any character throughout the whole series, but, once again, should Harry Hart ends up together with Merlin, the audience may not be so surprised.

3. There is clearly a parallel between Harry and Eggsy as characters.

We see it from the water-test. We see it from the fact that their relationship in KTGC is kind of a reverse of what they are like in the first film, one protecting and taking care of the other. In KTSS, Eggsy, as someone new to the Kingsman, learns from Harry Hart and makes that learning a pivotal reason for his own character development: Harry gets him out of the mess, introduces him to the prospective of becoming a spy, rebukes him when he gives up, and remains the one character Eggys strives not to disappoint. In KTGC, however, we see that the roles of the one who guides and the one guided reversed: when they meet, amnesiac Harry with only his younger memory is the one knowing nothing about Kingsman, while Eggsy, current Agent Galahad, tries to bring him back; Harry’s reaction to the water test, the way they film it and the way this scene is presented somehow repeatedly hints on subtler parallels between Eggsy and Harry’s younger self (he reaches for the ceiling, looks at the door, probably thinks about the one-way mirror as the camera suggests, all just as Eggsy does it in the first film, all except that he does not break the mirror). It may or may not be a coincidence that the stake is so high when they bring in the puppy test in both films, the first with Eggsy unwilling to shoot JB and Harry subsequently getting mad at him, the second with Eggsy threatening and Harry panicking before the conflict resolves when Harry regains his memory. The point is that, if we are to go on with the parallels, does that mean Harry will probably learn something new from Eggsy as well? Can it be something about having personal connections? Perhaps Harry learns from Eggsy that there is nothing wrong with having significant connections with others and end up with someone? That remains a plausible way to round up the character parallels.

4. Should Harry have a major change of mind, there is a reason provided.

We see the interactions between Merlin and Harry when the former steps on the mine. We see emotional eye contacts and infrequent attempts to mention their old days as colleagues. If Harry is going to opt for some significant personal connection and giving up the isolationist lifestyle he’s been having for decades, Merlin’s return may just make it click in. If Merlin’s ‘my favourite singer’ and Harry’s reply are to be altered, should the two characters end up together, that doesn’t sound too implausible.

But again, while there are positive speculations, there are things pointing to a negative answer.

Merlin may survive the mine and make a surprise return, should they have another sequel, yes, but would that still be that much of a surprise? Filming something and putting it into the next film, killing off a beloved character and then bring said character back have been done once (aka the table etiquette scene filmed during KTSS, and the return of Harry Hart), and it is questionable whether they’d be so bold to do it twice. They do give the impression of not complying with clichés and normal expectations, but the return of Merlin can make this a plot pattern iconic to the KSM series.

My guess would be that at least one of Merlin and Roxy may stand a chance of returning should they be up for a third sequel, and either is likely to be gladly welcomed. Both? BETTER. So basically it’s a kind of mixed feelings here: if either Merlin or Roxy is going to return, it’d be hard to decide which one the audience wants more; both are killed off in ways too similar to be faked twice; I hate sounding like a PC police, but M. V.’s portrayals of female characters in KTGC are not the most plausible, if Roxy’s to return and redeem the film in this aspect, it’d be fantastic. But in sum it’s perhaps impossible for fans to decide which of the two is loved more, should it comes to decide between them.

There is no conclusion to this piece of random babbling. I forgot what I’m talking about three paragraphs in.

Needing Help

Members of the Order of the Phoenix crowded around the Weasley dining room table. It was late, dark and quiet, and there was a sense of tension that hung in the air. It was unshakable, and everyone could feel it, even the more junior members of the organisation. In the upstairs of the Burrow, a large group of teenagers sat around. A set of twins, their brother and sister, two black girls, a blond awkward boy, and a dark skinned boy, all crowded around, staying close to each other for they knew something was coming – but what, they couldn't say.

The answer came around one in the morning, with a panicked knock at the door. Arthur Weasley opened the door, with a ready-to-pounce Remus and Tonks nearby. The Weasley patriarch had gaped, before acting quickly at the sight before him: The Malfoy boy, looking as if he hadn't slept in weeks, held an injured girl who was a familiar face to him.

She was one of the girls that Ginny had invited back to the Burrow, Holly. Despite being in Ron's year, she'd found a friend in the only Weasley girl. He'd nearly had a heart attack when he'd seen her own red hair, thinking for a moment he really did have another child.

Part of him had that shock when he opened the door.

Arthur called for Remus and Tonks, who charged in, before realising this was not an attack but a cry for help. Remus and Arthur took the injured girl from Malfoy, who stared at Tonks. They were cousins, or something; she hadn't cared to do the math on it, but they were family. He'd brought back the young woman who Remus considered his own. And they needed answers.

She brought the blond inside, keeping a heavy hand on his shoulder to keep him grounded. Molly Weasley had come downstairs, made a noise of surprise at the frightened young man, before waking the adults in the house.

In the upstairs of the Burrow, Remus and Arthur woke Charlie and told him to move, to give his bed up to the not entirely conscious Holly, to which he didn't complain.

They laid her down on Charlie's thick furs, and the eldest Weasley son asked her a series of questions before fetching whatever magical medical supplies he needed.

'Keep her awake' had been his only instruction.

Remus sat beside her, taking her cold and clammy hand in his and talking softly to her. He didn't want to interrogate her too harshly, but he hadn't seen her in months. Nobody had heard from her in weeks.

So he didn't. Instead, he kept her up to date on all she'd missed. His marriage was going well. Tonks was having a boy. They liked Teddy for a name. Hermione and Ron were still dancing around each other, but Madison and Neville had bitten the bullet. George kept making jokes about hearing whatever was around his missing ear. They'd all missed her terribly.

He heard Charlie's sharp instruction of 'stay in your rooms' somewhere into the bedrooms before returning. He swapped places with Remus, who came downstairs to the Malfoy boy, where he was halfway coddled between Molly and threatened by Moody.

Tonks, it seemed, was creating a brilliant halfway point, after wrapping him in the closest thing they had to a shock blanket and sitting on the table in front of him.

"What happened?"

They all gathered around the young Malfoy as he began to speak.

"I got forced into this Death Eater stuff in the middle of sixth. She was looking after me the whole time. She just wanted to help, you know, make sure I was alright... only wanted to take care of me. Anyway, I... I disappeared for a while, but wrote to her when I could. They caught me, though. They brought her in. They..."

He choked on his words, sniffling. His white-knuckled hands gripped the couch cushions, searching for purchase.

"They needed to know she wasn't letting out secrets. She's a Hufflepuff, and she's been seen with your lot forever. They didn't trust her."

"Did they hurt her?" Remus had asked, gasping.

"Veritaserum and an Imperius curse, to make sure she hadn't told anybody anything. But I hadn't told her anything to begin with, so it was pointless."

He didn't mention how she'd been knocked around a bit, and had been returned to him with a bruising cheek bone and rope burns. He wasn't sure it'd help.

"They made her stay. She couldn't really leave after she'd seen who she had, what she had... we stayed together the whole time. She never hurt anyone."

"Did you?"

The question hung in the air, Moody's gruff voice and looming presence leaving him gaping, stuttering for an answer.

There was a scuffle in the adjacent hallway before a weakened but a visibly more conscious Holly appeared, leaning heavily on Charlie and Arthur. Draco moved to go over to her, but he was kept in place by Remus' heavy gaze.

The eldest Weasley child helped the injured girl over to the couch, where very easily she curled into Malfoy's side. His arm fit comfortably around her, although it was a worried gesture.

Charlie sat at the other end of the couch, keeping an eye out for her injuries.

"She's got a concussion, and a pretty nasty one, and some awful bruising everywhere. Fever and nausea. She's not broken anything, though. Which is good. That's a positive."

"I'm fine."

Her voice was scratchy, as if she'd been screaming for hours. Her throat was dry and sore and she coughed to punctuate her sentence, but she was communicating.

Mrs Weasley hurried off to get a glass of water, and Holly drank the whole thing when she returned with it.

There was so much relief in the Malfoy boy when he saw her drinking and talking. He stroked her arm with his thumb, pulling her closer to him. When she looked over at him, she offered him a tired smile.

He could've cried.

Always smiling. She was always smiling. Merlin, he loved her.

Remus, having watched this entire interaction, sighed heavily.

"We can interrogate them more tomorrow. I think we need rest. She's on the mend, and he's... fine." He finished lamely.

Charlie rose to his feet and offered his large, calloused hands to Holly. "You better get to bed. You heard your dad."

Holly clapped his hands, but didn't take them. Her tone was playful, but her eyes were rather serious. "I couldn't go taking your bed, Charles. I'm fine wherever you put Draco."

Arthur, who had waited in the doorway, cleared his throat. "We, uh. We don't have another bed. With so many guests you're bound to run out of beds eventually."

"We could get you some blankets though. You could have a couch each." Molly offered, truly unable to let a child go without, for which Draco was endlessly grateful.

People dispersed quickly after that. Molly fetched bedding, Arthur went to check on the (hopefully) still sleeping teenagers, Moody took over the watch. Tonks, sharing a look with Remus, dragged Charlie from the room, leaving the older man with the two newcomers.

"Are you... dating, then?"

He was painfully awkward. He felt himself revert back into his teenage self, trying to find out if some girl had started to go with Sirius.

They shared a look, seeming to communicate silently. It was Holly that spoke.

"We're married."

"They made us." Draco added quickly, anxious for the kindly man before them to not panic. "I mean, I'd have liked to marry her anyway, years away. It's... they didn't want her sharing anything she shouldn't have."

Remus, quiet, nodded. Holly pulled herself from her husband's hold and wrapped herself around Remus. The man had basically been her father for as long as she could remember, and she loved him dearly.

"I'm sorry." She told him. "I love him, but... I'm sorry all of this happened without you knowing. I'm sorry I scared you."

He kissed her forehead. She was forgiven, of course she was forgiven. His heart had constricted when she said she loved Malfoy, but Remus couldn't help it. That was his girl.

"I love her too. Sir." Malfoy spoke softly, almost as if he felt he was intruding in a conversation. The older man watched Holly smile, softly, despite this whole situation. She almost blushed before catching herself.

"Well. Good. You two sleep, and Moody's always lurking, so... behave. Or whatever."

His sort of daughter kissed his cheek before curling back up next to her husband, his sort of son-in-law.

It was a rough morning when the whole house awoke to Madison yelling.

She'd stumbled into the lounge room, and despite eyes being bleary from sleep, she had been affronted by the image of Malfoy and Holly, curled up under a thick rug on the couch tucked into each other.

At the sound of the shout, Malfoy wrapped his arms around his wife in a knee jerk reaction. It seemed this was a familiar scenario for the two of them: a poor rest and awoken to loud voices.

Holly took a moment to gather herself, unsure of where she was for just a moment. The sight of her best friend calmed her down, and she sat up slowly. Her spine creaked and Malfoy moved with her, sitting up so she could lean back against him. She still looked incredibly ill. The whole night, she'd suffered through her fever, comforted by her husband's soft voice and softer kisses. She looked awful.

But she was alive.

Madison cried, and the sound of her sobbing had alerted the young people. They were all glad that Holly was alive, but greatly offended by the sight of Malfoy.

"Leave him alone. He's kept me safe this whole time."

"It's Malfoy." Ron had insisted.

"It's Draco. We're both Malfoy."

The pair of them told the whole story, again. The same amount of detail, filling in some blanks with the speculation and rumour that had surrounded the two of them at Hogwarts.

It had been a combination of both Holly and Draco that had gotten the captives in Malfoy Manor sufficient food and water, distracted their torturers and made their sentences lighter where they could.

They talked about their wedding. How forced it was and yet how genuine it felt.

It was Madison who attempted to lighten the mood. "Wow, Holly. I thought we were friends. You didn't even invite me to your wedding."

Holly laughed. It hurt her to do so but she did so anyway. The girls and the twins smiled, despite themselves, and Draco nervously smiled into his wife’s freckled shoulder. It seemed Ron and Harry were still cautious. Rightly so.

The married couple were separated quickly, divulging information about what they’d seen, heard, and done, but Holly was released a good few hours before Draco was.

As Charlie attended her remaining ailments, Madison stood with her.

"Did you want to marry him?"

"Not in that context. But eventually, sure."

"Really?"

Holly shrugged, wincing as Charlie poked at the lump on her skull.

"Yeah. I love him. Why wouldn't I?"

"It's Malfoy."

"He's like, been kept prisoner in his own house. I can't even imagine how fucked that is. Seeing rooms that used to be your nursery or your childhood bedroom get turned into guest rooms for criminals and torturers. Become literal prison cells. As if his family didn't hurt him enough already."

"You were kept prisoner there, too."

"Not for seventeen years, though."

The two were silent for a moment as Charlie gave her a few instructions to look after herself. He left, leaving the two alone.

Holly smiled at Madison, and although it didn't quite reach her eyes, it was still a genuine one. "I missed you."

"I missed you, too."

"Are you alright?"

Madison was silent for a moment before smiling coyly. "Neville and I had sex."

Holly scoffed. "Fuckin' finally. How was it?"

Madison laughed.

Three days went by and they got all the information they could possibly get out of Draco. Holly's fever, a side effect of some sort of potion, had mostly gone, and she was concussion free. The two stayed together, mostly, but they were always touching, as if afraid to leave the other one.

They had to return to the Manor. There was no way they wouldn't go looking for either of them. Despite how angry that made the entirety of the Order, they knew it was the only option. After forging a letter to Snape explaining their absence, Draco and Holly planned their leave.

"What was the excuse?" Neville asked.

Malfoy had answered. "Spur of the moment honeymoon. We didn't have one."

Holly looked up at him and smiled. "We can have one later. When we're not, you know. Busy."

He chuckled. "Busy."

It seemed to be an inside joke between them.

Holly said her goodbyes, spending a bit of time talking to Madison and Neville and Charlie. Nervously, Malfoy approached Remus.

"I'm looking after her. She can look after herself, of course, but I–"

Remus put a hand up to stop him. "Do you love her?"

"Yes, Sir." Malfoy's answer was earnest, with his hands clasped behind his back.

Remus sighed. "That's all I can ask. I don't want her hurt." He paused. "Or grandchildren. None of that, not yet."

Draco smiled nervously. Remus extended a hand for him to shake, which he clasped.

"Next time we meet, Mister Malfoy, I hope it's under nicer circumstances."

"As do I."

The newlyweds stood by the fireplace, holding each other's hand. They planned to travel through several floos and apparate so they could not be tracked, but it still made them nervous.

"We'll fight, you know. When the time comes." Holly told Harry, staring at him. He said nothing, but nodded. Draco kissed his wife's hand.

"You ready, darling?"

"Of course."

"So how was the honeymoon?" Ginny asked, in an attempt to ease the tension.

Holly turned to her and smiled. "You remember that rumour that Draco was like, the Slytherin sex god?"

"Yeah?"

"It's all true. So my honeymoon was fantastic."

Draco had the decency to blush, but Madison laughed. "Where'd you go?"

"Paris. Her favourite." Draco supplied. Holly turned to him and smiled.

"You're a considerate husband."

"Oh, you know. I try."

"You two should be going." Snape reminded them. To Draco, the man seemed softer, if just for a moment.

They both sighed, but nodded.

"Thank you very much for your kindness. All of you. I can't tell you how much we appreciate it."

"Love you all."

And with a whoosh, the two disappeared in a fog of green flames. It was silent for a moment, nobody quite knowing what to do with themselves, before people began to disperse.

For a while, Remus sat on the couch opposite the fireplace and watched. Waited. Just in case they came back.

But they didn't, and wouldn't until the Battle of Hogwarts. There they would both arrive with scarring and bruises, but until then all would be silent on their end for what seemed like an eternity.

Untold, Unsaid, Unseen, Unheard: Part 2

A/N: Hello again! here’s my second installation of the ‘ Untold, Unsaid, Unseen, Unheard’ series :) the series is basically a collection of unrelated one shots based on minor characters in Harry Potter. This one is basically my headcanon on what was going through Peter’s mind on Halloween, 1980. Hope you like it! xx

Part 1: Rosmerta and the Marauders

Word Count:1308

Peter’s heart was thumping wildly in his chest, his mouth was dry and he had already thrown up twice. In the back of his mind he wandered if he’d ever be free of it; free of fear. Hands shaking, he rushed about his little apartment, grabbing essentials and stuffing them in his bag, swearing to himself every time his wand slipped out of his sweaty hands.

He needed to move quickly, he knew Sirius would be arriving soon to check on him and see if he was safe. “… If his friend was safe” said a withering voice in his head. His legs gave and he forgot how to breathe - what had he done? James, Lily, little baby Harry with his big, innocent, green eyes and his chubby little hands that always reached up to grab his hair. Beads of sweat streamed down his forehead and into his eyes, nearly blinding him.

Oh Merlin, Merlin…What had he done? James who had protected him, James who had trusted him, who had been his friend for nearly a decade. Lily, sweet Lily, who was always immensely kind and little Harry with whom he had played peek-a-boo. The Dark Lord will kill them, he was sure of it, this was one encounter the great James and Lily Potter will not survive. “You can still save them, undo this” said another pleading, urgent voice. He would have to hurry, it was nearly time; he would apparate to Godric’s Hollow and warn them, tell them what he’s done. They would have time then to run, find sanctuary elsewhere.

“And the Dark Lord will kill you for it”.

Fear consumed him again. No… no, he must run.

He heard the roar of a motorbike soar through the open window. Sirius. He could feel the bile rise up his throat again, he tried to apparate but his body trembled uncontrollably and his mind was reeling. With a moan of despair he struck his forehead with his palm several times trying to force his mind to concentrate on his destination. Sirius cannot find him here, Peter will not be able to lie to him, the moment he walks through that door and sees him, Sirius will know what he’s done and there will be no forgiveness. He knew it like he knew his name was Peter Pettigrew; Sirius Black will strike him dead where he stood.

He heard the lock click, the sound seemed to jolt his body into action and he ran, ran for the back door and out into the dark, windy night… the Dark Lord was his only protection now. Through the thudding of his own heart he heard the town clock strike 12 O’ clock, and he knew that the Potter’s were dead.

***

Peter was hurrying through a Muggle street, he wasn’t entirely sure where he was but the street looked familiar which only served to increase his anxiety. If the street looked familiar then it’ll be easier for Sirius to hunt Peter down and Peter was sure Sirius was looking for him. If he was frightened before it was nothing compared to how he felt now. Lily and James were dead, the Death Eaters, who had cornered him half an hour ago outside the Malfoy Manor where he had been lurking, had confirmed it. Lily and James were dead… but so was the Dark Lord. He couldn’t believe it, The Dark Lord? Dead? There was blood still trickling down his face from the nasty cut left by Lucius’ wand. He had begged them to believe him, he had not sent the Dark Lord to his end. It must have been Dumbledore! Or the child! The child must possess some dark magic of his own. This was not his doing, they had to believe this was not his doing! And they had to help him; Sirius Black and the Order of the Phoenix were surely after him for his betrayal, they had to help him hide.

No amount of imploring and pleading convinced them of his innocence, so he had transformed and run. He knew they would not chase him far… for now at least, they needed to plan their own escape from the Ministry’s clutches. The Death Eaters were the least of his problems right now. He must first find refuge from The Order, and most of all from Sirius, who will surely kill him. First he must hide from them…and then from the Death Eaters.

He pushed past muggles blindly and reaching a forked junction, turned left into the small, nearly empty street. He was almost at another turn when he heard the low, sickening, growl. With a shriek of terror he turned around to see Him standing a few feet behind.

Sirius Black looked positively mad. His whole body was covered in mud and dust, his grey shirt was bloodied from a nasty cut on his right shoulder, his long hair, a black, knotted mess, fell around his tear-stained face, his mouth was twisted in a demented grin, his teeth were barred and blood stained, and his body was shaking in violent rage. And his eyes… His eyes were red, and filled with something he had never seen before and empty of all things they once used to hold.

Peter had faced the Dark Lord, he had looked into his snake like eyes, and seen the perversion, the maliciousness, the evil that they contained. He had thought to himself that nothing could be more terrifying, his fear had mounted when the Dark Lord, as though in response to this particular thought, had smiled. Sirius’ eyes were different, they contained nothing and everything; they were unhinged, a maelstrom of hysteria, of unconstrained rage and an unquenchable thirst for blood. Peter stumbled back, terror unlike any he ever felt surging through every cell in his body.

Sirius laughed, a malevolent bark that chilled Peter to his core, “Hello, old friend.” He growled.

“S-Sirius…” he stuttered, backing away, towards the turn ahead. His eyes were whizzing everywhere; he needed a plan. His hand inched into his back pocket, reaching for his wand. Sirius was advancing on him, snarling, he made none of his usual quips, the ones Peter had heard him utter several times as he fought off Death Eaters. Peter began to feel the slimy, cold hands of Death paw at his heart.

Death… uncharacteristically, an idea struck him. He looked around at the muggles who had stopped in their tracks to stare, his hand tightened around his wand, he needed to be ready; he needed to be quicker than Sirius when the time came.

“What did you do Sirius?? How could you?! You sold them to Him! James and Lily! You sold them to the Dark Lord didn’t you? They were your friends, your friends! You killed them! Lily and James are dead because of you! You, Sirius!”

Sirius’ eyes widened, his body convulsed in anger, he bellowed like a wounded bull and his shaking hand took aim…

“Ava—“

No…

Peter pointed his wand at the street and screamed the spell that lay ready at the tip of his tongue, the ground beneath him exploded, his head swam and his ears rung. The buildings and street around them were collapsing, he couldn’t see anything through the dust and smoke. He needed to hurry, while everyone was distracted. He pointed his wand at his hand and muttered the slicing spell. Before the pain had time to spread he shifted to his animagus form and ran through the broken street, navigating through the fallen rubble and the harried feet of panicked muggles. He ran as fast as his rat legs could carry him, as fast as he could away from the deranged laughter that echoed through the air, louder and more terrifying than the screams of muggles or the silence of the dead.
