Prompt 1

Prompt 1: A leaning in to kiss B, then pulling away but B tugs them back in and kisses them hard

It was possible that Harry had had a little touch too much to drink, but it was also possible that the warm, glowing feeling inside him was because of the surprisingly pleasant music in the pub that had him swaying a bit back and forth. There was something about the music tonight that made him realize that he really didn't spend enough time appreciating the musical arts.

Not much time, he supposed, between the Dursleys refusal to buy him an instrument (waste of money) and being pursued by dark wizards (Voldemort). For some reason, this combination made him think of snake-faced Voldemort practicing the tuba. He let out a little laugh that sounded a bit like a giggle, but he must be imagining things.

Ginny, who had been saying brilliant things to Hermione, glanced at him with an amused smile, but turned back to her conversation.

She was really good at that, talking. Using her words and being entertaining.

Harry leaned in, intent on listening to her words.

It was inevitable, perhaps, that in his earnestness to listen to her brilliance, his eyes seemed to fall and focus on her lips.

They really were very pretty lips. The prettiest lips he had ever seen, and he had seen plenty of lips.

It was the way her lips were so expressive, curving just enough to hint as mischief without giving it away, like a secret only between the two of them. The way they stretched across her face when she laughed or beamed, so genuine and true. The rosy hue... the temptation when her tongue dipped out to wet them... the freckles on her face that seemed to lead him straight to...

"Ugh."

Harry jerked back, his eyes glancing over guiltily at Ron, who was staring at him with a look of open disgust. "What? I wasn't—"

Wasn't what? Dangerously close to kissing her?

"Mate." Ron's voice was deadpan, like he knew exactly what Harry had been thinking.

"What is it you have a problem with?" Ginny bristled. "This?"

She turned toward Harry, and god she had that blazing look in her eyes that, coupled with her flushed cheeks and flaming hair, would have made Harry a goner just then if he weren't already madly in love. Her hands gripped the front of his robes and tugged hard. His face naturally and willingly fell towards her, his hands reaching for her face, and then she was kissing him the way he hadn't even realized how badly he had needed until that very moment.

There was nothing but Ginny, liquid sunshine pouring into this system. Whatever thought processes he had been struggling with before were officially obliterated. He made what was probably an embarrassing noise, but he could hardly care or notice with her pulling him closer, as if he belonged here with her more than anywhere else.

After what seemed to feel like days or a short but satisfying lifetime, they so regrettably part (who needs to breathe when they could kiss Ginny instead?), and he slowly began to register what might be chips being pelted at him and noises of disgust across the table.

"Not on Wednesday pub night!" Ron shouted, bouncing a well-aimed chip against Harry's glasses.

"Ron, they've been married for years," Hermione cut in.

"Sorry mate," Harry said, not feeling the least bit sorry as he beamed at Ginny. She smiled back in response, before turning to yell at Ron some more.

Harry settled back into the booth, his fingers drumming to the music.

All was well.

Nineteen

I wanted to write something about Harry’s birthday, and ended up writing mostly about Ginny. Oh, well.

She caught her own eye in the mirror above the sink whilst drying her hands, and couldn’t help but grin. The curls in her hair were softer and looser now she’d slept in them, and there were black smudges underneath her eyes where her painstakingly applied eyeliner and mascara had run, but apart from this, she looked good. She peered closer at her reflection as she leaned in, gently wiping underneath her eyes with a fingertip, and realised what it was that made her look so good. The fullness of her lips, the sparkle in her eyes, the permanent flush on her cheeks—she was happy. That was it.

She stepped backwards, deciding to leave the repair job on her eye makeup for now. It wouldn’t do much anyway—she was still wearing last night’s dress, which was rumpled and creased from having been slept in—and she was sure that everyone else would look much worse, when they eventually woke. Besides, none of them would judge her—at least not for her dishevelled appearance. She had a vague memory of overacting her way through a cheesy Celestina Warbeck song last night, pouting and writhing in Harry’s direction whilst everyone roared with laughter, especially once Dean and Seamus joined in as her back up dancers, and if they chose to judge her for her singing instead, well. She couldn’t blame them. She had many talents, but she was utterly tone deaf.

Not that it mattered. After Percy—many shots of Firewhiskey down—had announced that he was going to do a punk reinterpretation of the Hobgoblins’ old hit (I May Not Be A Seeker But) Baby I’ll Catch Your Snitch, anyone else’s karaoke performances would have been considered an aural treat. Even she had had no idea her brother had such a range.

If I could survive being a fat teenage girl during the thigh gap craze I can survive any stupid ass beauty trend the world has to offer. Like if my body is unfashionable that’s too bad but I’m gonna keep on looking like this anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️

[mortallynuttygalaxy]

i am sick of reading unnecessary angst like harry ignoring ginny after war,they both could not communicate to save their lives. whenever i am in angsty mood i read fics like brontide which is actually well written makes sense.

I mean these two are literally effortless couple i can see them few fights after war but they both know that they are endgame. I especially hate golden trio vs ginny dynamic in post war fics. Ron and ginny are siblings they love eath other ok they are not enemies. Golden trio is not perfect clique where ginny has no place after the war. If we go re read hp harry and hermione's dynamic is not uncomplicated and perfect.

Hey Sam, do you think Harry and Ginny would have broken up sometime in between the end of DH and 19 years later epilogue? There’s so many fics with them spending years dating pointless people before they make their way back to each other and it always confused me because Ron and Hermione remained together and had this strong relationship and even got married before Hinny. I can’t read about a world where Hinny breaks up but Romione remains strong. Those two have clashing personalities and their relationship would require a LOT of work. I don’t mind Romione but I’m open to reading stories of them dating other people, but Hinny��� if those two aren’t with each other then I don’t want to read it.

My personal headcanon is that they got back together fairly quickly after DH and they married before Romione.

I’m a pretty open shipper. I don’t mind reading stories with different side ships. But I highly dislike fics where Hinny date other people. If done correctly and I know they’re end game with an author I trust, I can read it. But if there’s a time of relationship angst between them with a nasty breakup and it’ll take 20 chapters for them to even consider talking, I’m out.

If that makes any sense 😂😂😭

how to make me cry in five words or less:

Prongs rode again last night.

[mortallynuttygalaxy]

I am starting marathon of my favorite childhood books and mangas and dramas things i used to love when i was child. adult life sucks So i have made a list of series and who used to my favorite :-

1)Pecy jackson- percy ( i only read Olympian series)

I have finally completed pjo series - i honestly loved it overall. my fav character still is Percy Jackson but i really loved some other characters like Nico,Thalia,Zoe ,Blackjack,Mrs o Leary and for some reason i really like Rachael Elizabeth Dare( i feel she is unnecessarily hated by fandom),Artemis and Hestia are definitely my fav among gods.

I sort of dislike Luke castellan's arc tho i feel its just inconsistent l mean initially like there was no plan of his redemption and but after BOL suddenly Rick decided to make him hero and what bothers me that he was sort of pedophilic.

Now i am starting Naruto series

2)Naruto-Naruto, Hinata, Minato

3)little woman- amy and laurie

4)city hunter (k drama )- yoo sung

5)Batman -Bruce

6) spiderman- mary jane and peter

7) HP- harry, ginny,James potter

Every time I see someone claiming the teenage characters are annoying in HBP, I get reminded of when Victoria Aveyard explained that when you write teenage characters, if you write them behaving maturely people are going to say they are unrealistic, and if you write them realistically people are going to say they are annoying.

[mortallynuttygalaxy]

“The map they created during their time at Hogwarts appears to be a blank piece of parchment unless activated by the phrase; I solemnly swear that I am up to no good, a phrase that, in the case of three of the four makers, should be understood as a joke. The ‘no good’ of which they wrote never denoted Dark magic, but school-rule breaking;”

—

something everyone should remember because unlike Snape they didn’t use Dark magic for their pranks (The Marauder’s Map, Pottermore)

“…thought we were supposed to be friends?” Snape was saying, “Best friends?”

“We are, Sev, but I don’t like some of the people you’re hanging round with! I’m sorry, but I detest Avery and Mulciber! Mulciber! What do you see in him, Sev, he’s creepy! D’you know what he tried to do to Mary Macdonald the other day?”

Lily had reached a pillar and leaned against it, looking up into the thin, sallow face.

“That was nothing,” said Snape. “It was a laugh, that’s all – ”

“It was Dark Magic, and if you think that’s funny – ”

“What about the stuff Potter and his mates get up to?” demanded Snape. His color rose again as he said it, unable, it seemed, to hold in his resentment.

“What’s Potter got to do with anything?” said Lily.

“They sneak out at night. There’s something weird about that Lupin. Where does he keep going?”

“He’s ill,” said Lily. “They say he’s ill – ”

“Every month at the full moon?” said Snape.

“I know your theory,” said Lily, and she sounded cold. “Why are you so obsessed with them anyway? Why do you care what they’re doing at night?”

“I’m just trying to show you they’re not as wonderful as everyone seems to think they are.”

The intensity of his gaze made her blush.

“They don’t use Dark Magic, though.”

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

There you have it, folks

(via comealongraggedypond)

I’ve always thought that the above quoted scene is significant in two very important ways. First, why would Lily ask what James had to do with anything if the marauders were the general bullies they are thought to be by many? After all, the topic of conversation was Snape’s friends’ bullying. It would have made sense to talk about the marauder’s bullying if in fact they did so. Yet, Lily was confused by the change in topic. Did she just not know?

Snape’s answer to her question is also very significant. If in fact the marauders were bullies or had been systematically bullying Snape as many believe, and somehow, Lily didn’t know about it, that was the perfect chance for Snape to tell Lily. Yet all he talks about is the marauder’s habit of sneaking around at night and Lupin’s weirdness. We all know snape would not be doing them any favors, and at the very least would have ratted them out to Lily. But he doesn’t. And i find that very telling.

Harry Potter Characters as Foils for the Marauders’ Generation

I have this theory that Neville is supposed to represent everything that Peter could have been. You know, both of them were the weak link in the friend group, the guy easily influenced. But instead, Rowling made Neville weak to prove the two paths an individual could take. How each of our weaknesses manifest in different ways. Peter’s weakness made him a villain, ultimately worse than Voldemort because he betrayed his friends, while Neville’s weakness made him work harder and in the end made him Harry’s strongest ally.

Peter Pettigrew being in love with James is an interesting angle

Last Line

Tagged by @four2andnew to share the last line I've written in my current WIP (and there are far too many to choose from):

 James had reached him first, damn his long legs, and swiftly swept him into his arms, pressing the crying baby to his chest so hard that Lily thought he might smother him. 

Am I back on my Jily BS? Most definitely. This is from an old WIP that I started writing again this weekend. I'm slowly adding to it as inspo and my other fics allow. But this is the last line I wrote.

I also don't think I can tag as many people as there are words, so I'm tagging anyone who wants to participate (and please tag me if you do so I can love on your WIPs) and @harryissuchalittleshit @athenasparrow @uncertainwallflower @anagpotter @hinnyweasley and @brightlybound

[mortallynuttygalaxy]

You've mentioned before that you had a journey with Remus and now you have a specific characterisation of him. What works for you when you read him in fanfic?

.I've spent 3 days in Remus headspace, both for my own fanfic and to help @bluethepineapple with her lovely character study - Of The Fallen (read it now!). So I have a lot of thoughts on what makes Remus work for me. My reading of Remus, first of all, is very Watsonian. In that, I recognise there is a certain author intent in that he doesn't necessarily come across the way she means it to (for example, I don't think she intends for him to come across as manipulative as he does). That's fine by me - because I think Remus, as in text, is far more interesting and complex this way. So here are my non-negotiable Remus traits that works for me in fanfiction: 1. He hides his anger. In fact, he is extremely guarded about his inner world.

The offhand line where Sirius mentions in OOTP about Umbridge ("You should hear Remus talk about her") shows how much of himself Remus carefully curates away from the world, because of the "occupational hazards of being a werewolf." Harry sees that anger, anguish and self loathing in full force in Deathly Hallows, and he sees a breakdown of Remus at end of HBP (where Harry felt he was encroaching on something private. And Harry is right to sense it - Remus would not have wanted anyone to see that breakdown! ). Even with Harry, it took until Harry reliving James’ death for Remus to admit that they were friends. It takes a lot for Remus to slip up and reveal something about himself. So his anger, unhappiness slips by in moments of passive aggression, or complete avoidant shut down. I go into this more with a meta with wonderful @thecat-isblogging-blog : The Gentleman Monster and this meta by criesbyjudas For Remus in all his passive aggressive glory: Verbal Fencing Over the Marauder’s Map 2. He idolises James, while his dynamic with Sirius is a little more complicated. James is the ideal for him - the confident golden boy. An embodiment of reckless teenager Remus wishes he could experience (and does, through his various adventures with them). The way Remus talks about him is fond, and is unwilling to cast him in a bad light - he also, in a moment of weakness, turns to Harry invoking James’ name (”James would have wanted me to stick with you”). Meaning, that in Remus’ mind - James is a refuge when things get overwheling for him. He is a protector. (With regard to Peter, Peter is a representation of himself - an underdog who needs to be protected. Remus gets to perform the protector here by bringing him into the fold) His dynamic with Sirius, on the other hand, is complicated.  Sirius is his shadow aspect projection, a boy who can display anger and be combative against the world in ways Remus can't afford to because of the very prejudices the world has against werewolves. Remus wants to be the “good boy” who likes to be liked. @thecat-isblogging-blog wonderfully put it as, "There's an envy - it plays also on how they are both in the 'canine family' but Sirius has choice and consciousness. Which Lupin does not." (For envy, refer to Remus' schoolboyish regression of "He always got the women" on Pottermore). Of course, you can play this aspect of the dynamic any way you want - it lends well to queer readings too! I’ve talked about the Marauder dynamics in SWM here: - the meta analyses the scene in terms of the interpersonal relationships in the group, post Prank. 3. The forest runs make him happy.  This is crucial to me. However guilty Remus feels in retrospect, he explicitly is said to enjoy the runs (”best times of my life”). His spirit is happy to be back in scene of adoloscent wanderings in DH, he refers to himself and the Marauders, “young, thoughtless and carried away with our own cleverness.”  @urupotter brilliantly put it as - his jaunts as a wolf with his friends is a way to exert control over the wolf/his condition in a sense. The wolf may command his body, but it acts under parameters he and his friends set.  He recognises the danger, he feels haunted at the prospect of what can go wrong - but it is also something he enjoys. Too many interpretations of him forget what exactly draws him to friends like the Marauders and why this friendship is so formative for him. They have offered to help him experience a source of shame and self loathing, a creature that his father once denounced as “soulless, evil”, as an embodiment of freedom and youth.  There is a psyche integration that is happening here that is ripe for rich explorations of Remus’ character.

4. He would have killed Peter in POA and would have lost no sleep over it

I mean, that is an exaggeration - I do think there is a part of him that will always wonder how things went that south. But I don’t think he (or Sirius for that matter) would have regretted it (points to Remus being aghast at Harry’s expelliarmus in the air in DH, and then later on comparing him to James XD).  What I love about POA is that the moment Remus appears in the shack, he already believes Sirius. He just doesnt have the full story - but he has an inkling what happened. So the entire chapter of exposition where Remus is asking questions of Peter - he is cornering Peter into incriminating himself more, thereby building up his own anger - which gets colder and quieter.  I mean, look at this chilling line - “You should’ve realised... if Voldemort didn’t kill you, we would. Goodbye Peter.” 

Other stuff that is fun: - he is a good DADA teacher! His interest in Dark Creatures (probably comes from his father - given what Lyall does, as per Pottermore) takes on more interesting dimensions because he is himself seen as one by the Wizarding world. What does this mean for him? Cat and I tried to explore this in Toys in the Attic. Yeah, these things are what makes Remus to me. So if these aren’t present, then it’s most likely not my cup of tea. :)

[mortallynuttygalaxy]

the name “ginevra” is so pretty and sounds so regal.

tbf, i headcanon that harry once called her ginevra and followed it by saying her name suits her and how it’s so pretty-sounding.

Well, she is called after a queen.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, you might be interested in this analysis of mine -> here

Also, fun fact, I did actually theorise the system with which Harry calls Ginny (and I used it in Back to the Eclipse).

Ginny is the generic one, the one he uses when he talks about her with other people, and it's the neutral way in which he calls her

Gin is sentimental, originally very private, and intimate, but as time goes on, he basically always calls her like this when he speaks to her

Ginevra is for when he is trying to make a point, regardless of the mood, he could be playful or angry but he is always trying to make a point

And while I'm on this topic, can I just say how much it annoys me when people write a Ginny ashamed of her name? Ginevra is a bloody normal name in Italy. Just because a name is from another language it doesn't mean it's weird. There are weird names in Italian, especially the ones related to religion. The name Crocifissa exists! It literally means crucified! That's a weird name. Ginevra is a bloody normal name. Like, come on, it's currently the fourth most given female name in Italy.
