sorry for acknowledging harry potter on main but one thing about the books that haunts me to this day is what happened to harry’s dragon miniature that he got in the triwizard tournament. the last time it’s mentioned he puts it down on his bedside and it curls up to sleep and then we never hear about it again. what happened to the dragon. nobody let jkr see this because i don’t want her to pull something out of her rancid ass but i need to know what happened to that dragon.

Broken Pride // Slytherins

TW: eating disorder, child abuse, general mental health.

the joys of being quiet is you tend to fade into the back, you tend to be kept distant from every bodies eyes, able to slip away.

Astoria is not her sister, she isn’t as cold, or ruthless or vain as Daphne, however he is still slytherin, she is by no means stupid. She knows she can’t manipulative people as easy as Pansy does, or charm as quickly as Blaise. So she follows after Draco, and she analyses.

She watches her housemates, and she watches the other houses and she learns. She understands, she becomes better.

The more she learns the worse it gets. Nobody realises just how broken slytherin house is.

They don’t see Blaise flinching away from wandering hands, or Pansy on her knees, fingers down her throat, or Draco with red marks and Theo with black and blue coating his body.

Slytherins aren’t black and white, there’s no black and white evil and good, there’s no easy way to save yourself. Slytherins are a family, despite what others may think. They have each other’s back and when one falls, the others catch.

Astoria listens to the gryfindors taunt and jeer at her fellow Slytherins, joking about rich kid perks and broken loyalty and she seethes.

Astoria won’t ever tell, she won’t let anyone know how Pansy hugs tighter than anyone she knows, and Blaise can flirt up a storm with everybody he meets, and still manage to trip over his words. How Draco cares harder than anyone in his own spiteful way.

Theodore and Draco fight more often than they don’t, leaving Pansy and Blaise to clean up after them. Theyre more similar than they’d like to admit.

Astoria isn’t a child, anyone who’s survived her house, and slytherin house doesn’t come out weak.

When the dark lord comes back is one of the only times she’s ever been truly afraid. Her sister is afraid, no matter how much she doesn’t want to admit it, Theo comes over a lot more after that.

They get back to school and Draco has the mark, Crabb and Goyle have the mark, and Cassius in seventh year has the mark and everybody is terrified.

Draco has a mission, Astoria doesn’t know what it is, she suspects neither does Blaise or Pansy and they’re his best friends. All they know is Draco is scared, and this is bigger than him, and that it’s his father that forced him into this.

broken kids (make for broken stories)

Astoria watches quietly from afar, watches Draco’s grades drop, and Pansy start handing in assignments for him, and Blaise slipping food on his plate while he flirts with Daphne.

She watches as Draco gets sicker and sicker, and watches as they retreat back into themselves, hissing at anyone around. She watches Draco get attacked by Harry Potter and nobody except the snakes make any fuss.

Then, Dumbledore dies, and Harry Potter runs off not long after that and everything goes wrong.

So Astoria does what she does best, she does what Slytherin house does. She watches; and she Pretends

I've been following you recently and I love all your drabbles! Congrats on the new milestone! I was hoping you could do something on Blaise and Theo (or the Slytherins in general)? Platonic or romantic but them defying their parents and idk small choices through the books events that culminate in them fighting side by side the other Hogwarts students in the final battle? Or Fred!Lives! Whichever you prefer! Tyty

Blaise stares at his friends and thinks he can feel his heart breaking.

He didn’t know where all the time went - trickled out of clenched fingers and pooling on the ground. The year had only just started and yet Draco and Greg and Vince had the Mark and Pansy was all bruised and Theo...

“What happened?” he asks and Blaise hates how hoarse his own voice sounds.

Draco shrugs. He keeps running his hands over the Mark, the smooth skin and the dark lines. There’s the shadow of a bruise over his arm, fingers that gripped too deeply into soft flesh and Blaise wonders if it was Harry or Voldemort who made that mark.

“Time’s up,” Theo says, so, so softly. “Looks like we have to pick a side.”

Greg snorts. He holds his arm out; Blaise tries not to flinch at the brand. “We already have. We’re in too deep now. Who’s going to believe us, now that we have this?”

“Stop,” Draco whispers - his face looks shattered, blown open like bits of glass. Blaise grips his shoulder, tightly, fingers digging into bone.

“I won’t,” Theo says. He’s twisting the bottom of his robes between his fingers; his lip is bleeding where his teeth worried at the skin, though he didn’t seem to care. “I won’t. I won’t take it.”

“They’ll kill you,” Vince warns. “Look what they did to Pans. And you’re not an heir - you think your parents will spare you? They’ll make an example out of you.”

Theo flinches back. Blaise swears under his breath, reaching over to take his hand. Theo stiffens ya the contact, then relaxes slightly, his thumb tracing over Blaise’s wrist.

“I don’t want it,” Theo says, in a cold, hard voice. “I won’t join a side that wants to kill halfbloods.”

“What does it matter?” Greg mutters. His voice is strained. “They’re halfbloods - if it comes down to it, I’d rather sacrifice a few of them then have any of you die - “

“Shut up,” Pansy says, eyes flashing. “I won’t sacrifice anyone to save my ass.”

“I’d do it,” Draco replies. “I’d burn the world down to save any of you.”

Blaise takes a deep breath, mind whirling. They were Slytherins - them against the world and in some twisted way it’s always been like this, always been them 6, fighting and lying and protecting each other, shielding each other from the war.

The curtain had dropped though. People were picking sides and Blaise couldn’t breathe, knowing that this could be it - the last time they’d all be in a room together, the last time they were all alive -

“I’m not taking it,” he says. Beside him he can feel Theo shuddering, letting out a long breath of relief. “They can do what they like to me. I won’t take the mark.”

Draco gives him a bitter, twisted smile, full of envy and sadness. “What will you do instead?”

Blaise shakes his head. “What will you do?”

It felt like a promise. It felt like a goodbye.

Draco’s grin is somber. “I guess we’ll fight.”

Draco, at the beach: Living my best life.

Pansy: Blaise is drowning.

Draco: This isn’t about him.

I am really annoyed with the idea that Slytherins are always cool, calm and unemotional. Most of the Slytherins we see are very emotional, and make a lot of important decisions based on strong emotion, and even foil themselves because they get too emotional. They’ll absolutely tear themselves apart for whatever they love, whether that’s a person or power. You have to feel strongly about something to be truly ambitious.

I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THE EXAMPLES. Someone insulted you/your family/someone you care about? Forget the snide comebacks, it’s time to SCREAM, YELL, CURSE THEM WITH BOILS. Family doesn’t approve of your boyfriend? ELOPE, it doesn’t matter whether this turns out to be a terrible decision. Boy Who Lived refuses to be your friend? OBSESS OVER HIM FOR THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS. Telepathic Dark Lord is threatening your son/childhood friend? Lie on the spot AND RISK A TORTUROUS DEATH TO DEFY HIM. Dark Lord is threatening your house elf? DRINK POISON AND THROW YOURSELF INTO A PIT OF ZOMBIES.

Slytherin is the House of cunning, not the House of rational decision-making??

hi! trick or treat for luna from siat? have a great halloween! (who cares that it’s a month away)

Luna notices things others don’t, sees things other’s can’t. But sometimes she’s sure her father’s ignorance is willful. 

Her cousin wears his heart on his sleeves, tries to appear cold and uncaring, but he’s so very bad at it. When her father couldn’t bear to speak her mother’s language because it hurt him, it was Draco who studied with her, who spoke with her, until Japanese fell as easily off their tongues as English. 

She doesn’t speak Japanese at home anymore. Not since her mother died. Her father can rant and rave about his side of the family all he wants, but it was Draco who coaxed her into playing when they were little, Draco who learned to speak her language so she would never forget, and Draco who calls her Loony and steals her shoes and puts himself in between her and whatever danger he thinks is coming. 

And it was his parents that let him, was Lucius who suggested he learn and Narcissa who combed her hair and called her darling, and maybe they’re not good people. But she doesn’t think they’re all bad either.

Trick or treat!! Harry Potter if you please

a continuation of x

Draco Malfoy shows up bleeding and half dead to his office, and Kinglsey doesn’t know what to do, how to react, because he’s almost certainly a death eater, but he’s also only seventeen. 

“I killed Voldemort,” he says, and Kingsley’s eyes stop focusing on the vicious gash down his sides, “His inner circle is either dead or restrained at the manor. You should go take care of that.” He pauses for a moment, then adds, “If you try and harm or take in either of my parents, it will be the last thing you ever do.” 

He’s never considered Lucius’s son to be particularly intimidating. Clearly he should reconsider. “What?” 

“It’s not over,” he says, and suddenly looks much older. “All I’ve done is bought you some time. What are you going to do with it?”

[hufflepuffdefensesquad]

Trick or Treat!!! 🎃🎃🎃 SIAT or ATLA??? If you please

“Back to Hogwarts?” Perenelle murmurs, watching him pack. ��I thought you didn’t want to go back there for another hundred years.” 

“It’s almost been a hundred years,” he says, but deflecting hasn’t worked on his wife since before they became immortal. “Albus asked.” 

“Oh, well, if Albus asked,” she says. “Are you doing this as a favor to a friend, or because you’re hoping to have him over his desk in front of all those former headmaster portraits?” 

Nicolas’s eyes gleam for the moment before he can control his expression. “I don’t see why it can’t be both.”

585 apparently ive been in a long term relationship for the past 1 1/2 years w/ out knowing Harry Potter

“When are you going to invite your boyfriend over so we can meet him properly?” 

Ginny blinks. “My what?” 

Molly sighs. “Well, dear, you introduced us to Luna about a week after you got together, but you and Neville have been together for what, almost two years now? And he’s been around, of course, he’s very sweet, but I really wish you’d let us all sit down together as a family.” 

“Um. I’m still dating Luna,” she says, as if her mom could have somehow missed that when she and her girlfriend comes over every Saturday. 

“Yes,” Molly agrees, frowning, “and we love her, but you really should introduce us to your boyfriend too. You know we love Neville, it’s not like we’re going to disapprove, dear.”

Happy Holidays!! Harry Potter/BNHA, the trio are the reincarnations of three characters from the BNHA world? Your choice of who?

Ron has a particular talent for ice and fire spells. Sometimes he reaches up to his eye, as if expecting to find something there, but it’s just his smooth skin. 

Hermione hates wearing clothes with a high neck, if she could she’d wear things dipping down to her navel. She doesn’t know why. It just feels unsafe, somehow, to have her chest covered. Like she might need access to it, for some reason. 

Harry loves flying. He wishes his feet never had to touch the ground. The only time he feels right is when he feels weightless. 

[hufflepuffdefensesquad]

Happy Holidays! Luna Lovegood?

a continuation of 1

“This is Luna,” Harry announces, shoving their compartment open and gesturing her to go inside. 

“Luna Lovegood?” Ron says before Hermione slaps him in the arm. Pansy rubs at her temple, while Blaise looks at her with bland curiosity. 

But it’s Draco who shoves himself to his feet, frowning, and for a moment Harry worries. The war is over. They’re all friends now, even if his and Draco’s parents kind of hate each other, but the look on his friend’s face worries him. 

“Lovegood, huh,” he says. “Your grandmother was my father’s third cousin. That makes us family.” 

Luna brightens, her eyes going even wider. “Really? I don’t - did you know my parents? My foster parents never told me anything.” 

Something dark flashes over Draco’s face before he can control it. “I didn’t know them personally, of course, but they were rather infamous. I can tell you some stories. I’m Draco Malfoy.” 

He holds out his hand, waiting. 

She grasps it instantly, shaking with enthusiasm. “Hello Cousin!”

Silkie Chicken Harry, an addition: because he keeps his glorious hair and also can’t see

[hufflepuffdefensesquad]

it must be really weird for anyone who was taught by dumbledore and mcgonagall and the rest to become teachers and have to, like, treat them as colleagues

like, snape and lupin have one (1) thing in common and it’s a pathological inability to call dumbledore by his first name
