What was Bellatrix like after Azkaban? How did it impact her and her relationships?

Anon I have to be honest, I hate fanon interpretation and the more I watch the movies the less I enjoy HBC's interpretation too. Don't get me wrong she's an exceptional actress and I absolutely fell in love with her the moment we saw her on screen but her version of Bellatrix is very very ooc from book canon.

There are some aspects of her I absolutely love from the films, but honestly book Bellatrix is where its at. Now, we don't know what Bellatrix was like pre-Azkaban. We get snippets of her but everything else we get is from Harry's perspective and he thinks her simultaneously repulsive and attractive.

So here's my take on post-Azkaban Bellatrix:

Mentally changed - no, not insane. Not in the way the films showed. I think she was marked criminally insane when she was sentenced to life in Azkaban however the actual meaning of 'criminally insane' is: not being responsible for ones criminal actions because of a mental disorder. She was fully aware of what she was doing and she did it all with pride for the love of her life and likely also because every action she took acted on her own personal beliefs that muggleborns and halfbloods and muggles are below her.

Similarly, a personal headcanon - she is mentally changed because she's been occluding so deeply and for so long. I think her perceptions of reality are slightly distorted, I think her perception of time is completely thrown off and I think this is because she was locked in a cell for 14 years and unable to be with the love of her life who she knew was alive but no one else believed her and she couldn't do anything about it.

I see her physically changed too. I think Azkaban didn't leave her too thin for too long and too ragged looking (like HBC's version with the birds nest hair and disgusting teeth) considering witches have a lovely little thing called magic... and Bellatrix also strikes me as too conceited to let herself look that bad. She was described 'feverish' in the department of mysteries but I personally put this down to bloodlust like a predator finally released from its cage. I think she practiced a lot of wandless dark magic in her cell whether it was rune marking - with her own blood too probably. I don't think she just sat there and rot away. I think she went deep into her magic while she occluded, calling to the stars to keep her love safe and so on.

Relationships:

Rodolphus. I think she missed him. I will forever headcanon they are best friends (who also happen to have very good sex) and they get on like a house on fire but Voldemort was always the one she felt that chemistry and deeper rooted passion with. I think they likely grow closer post-Azkaban.

Narcissa. This one is complicated. I think Narcissa is a little apprehensive of Bellatrix this time around. I think Bellatrix is a lot darker than she remembers, I think Narcissa sees a lot more of Voldemort in her sister and she begins to really resent it. I can imagine however that there's something about her darkness that Narcissa likes...something she can't resist getting close to given she too is a Black.

Voldemort. I think they find their rhythm fairly quickly. I think they spend a lot of time together, even if its just relearning each other. I think he doesn't see her as any different - if anything, he thinks her more beautiful. I think they spend every night together, I imagine her clingy and him for once not minding it. Their passion goes through the roof and I think Voldemort wants to indulge in her again and again for months on end (I mean with canon Delphi, how did that happen? Lots of hot filthy toe curling sex).

Delphini. in which of course I mean my AU where she's trio era. Now this one I think is more complicated. I love to headcanon that Delphini looks a lot like Bellatrix. I like to think Bellatrix finds her hard to look at for exactly that reason. She sees what she used to be in her daughter. I think physically she restrains herself from affection for a long time because she mentally can't take looking at her. However, I think eventually they start to heal and things will go back to normal.

Death Eaters. I don't doubt for one second every single one of them is shit scared of Bellatrix. I think they know her reputation well since pre-Azkaban and now she's even more ruthless they're not for a second going to test her.

Family: she's come out of prison 14 years and everyone she loved in her family (save Narcissa) is dead. That's a lot to wrap your head around. She loses her father, her Aunt, her Uncle (though I do like to HC Orion dies just before she goes to Azkaban) and she and Cissa are the last Blacks.

So... there's that deleted scene in the final movie, where Draco crosses the courtyard again when Harry gets up, and throws him a wand, yelling, "Potter!"

I'm sure you know what scene I mean.

My main question: what wand is it? Draco's (somehow), or his mother's? Harry is obviously wandless at that point (or Draco wouldn't need to do that), so there's some small chance it *is* Draco's (because Harry has lost it in the meantime).

My other question: is this scene in the books?

Thank you! <3

I definitely know that scene and I will forever be salty that they didn't give it to us and instead gave us the indescribably awful hugging scene.

The scene is not in the books. (Neither is the stupid hugging scene btw). The whole ending fight sequence with Voldemort goes down a bit differently in the books - and is way better and more dramatic and cathartic than in the movie. The movie final fight imho came across as kinda silly. They tried to outdo the books and make it more dramatic but instead actually just undermined the gravitas of the moment and made it kind of underwhelming imho.

Your questions are probably the reason they cut it. It doesn't really make sense. I guess in that version of the movie Draco either retains the Hawthorn wand until that moment or else gets it back at some point - either during the Fiendfyre sequence or when Harry seemingly dies - and then gives it to Harry. Or it's a random wand and it doesn't really matter since the movies don't get into wandlore much.

Why then do I wish it stayed in the movie? Well, the movie already deviated a lot from the books and didn't put much emphasis on wandlore and made a bunch of changes from the books. So why not one more? It wouldn't really affect anything in the movie universe and would give Draco an epic redemption moment. I think the whole hug scene was only there so he could walk over and be standing near Harry to throw him the wand but then we don't even get payoff because the wand scene is cut. So instead we get this awful ooc moment that is terrible for both Draco and Voldemort's characters. And for what? The hug scene should've been totally cut imho. But the wand throwing scene should've stayed. Instead we got the worst of all worlds. Yes I'm salty.

Muzan Kibutsuji x Nezuko Kamado’s Twin-sister! Muggle-born! Slytherin! Reader (feat. Severus Snape)

Angel of Darkness

Warnings: Mentions of Death, child neglect, Snake bite, venom, Muzan is a bit ooc and spoilers of the end of the Demon Slayer manga.

Soulmate Au

(A/n: Y/n is older than Harry and Draco by a year.)

Y/n Snape or originally called Y/n Kamado. She was Nezuko Kamado’s forgotten twin. Y/n was originally a very nice girl but she was often insulted and ignored by everyone in her home village. Having enough of this treatment. She ran away from home and ended in another dimension. She was adopted in 1984 by Severus Snape at the age of 5 years old. Because of the treatment she endured through her real family; she became resentful of towards them when Severus treated her with love and care. The caring and kind girl became cold, calm, stoic, and sarcastic like her father. She had been taught different potions, spells, wandless magic, and of course later on unsupported flight. Y/n has a resentment towards Harry Potter and the Boy-Who-Lived hates her. However, she hates him for how his father bullied hers when they were their age. Like her father, she was in Slytherin despite being a Muggle-born. She has a lot of friends within her house and she was also friends with Draco Malfoy.

In the year of 1997....

Y/n watches as her father kills Dumbledore Albus Dumbledore. However, she doesn't show it but she knew that he doesn't want to kill the Headmaster and could tell he was hesitant. “Do you think is this going to work?” A male voice asks before the Slytherin girl then looks at him. ‘I am sure.... Muzan...’ she says through their thoughts. Muzan Kibutsuji, was the Demon King and the progenitor of the Demon race. At her 18th birthday, he was her soulmate. After he died at the hands of the Demon Slayers mainly in Tanjiro Kamado’s hands (Y/n’s biological older brother). Muzan’s soul has merge with hers.

Dumbledore fell from the Astronomy towards his death. Harry Potter, the boy Y/n hated so much because of the rivalries between both of their families. The Slytherin girl watches as the Death Eaters including Severus leave. Before he left, her father gave her a look that she could tell before leaving immediately.

The Boy-Who-Lived then goes after the Death Eaters but Y/n on the other hand decides not to follow before looking around in the Astronomy tower. “Y/n....” the former Demon King calls out making the Slytherin girl then looks at him. “You gave me a reason to resent your siblings.” he says as that made Y/n growl at the thought of Tanjiro and Nezuko. “I have no concern towards both of them because of how everyone treated me back in our dimension.” she then says as she can speak to him outloud without anyone disturbing them. “I really don't care about you killing my mother and my other siblings. I believe they deserved it.” she then adds to her lover.

“You’re alright that I killed them?” Muzan asks as the Slytherin girl then gives an evil smile. “Yes, I am. They didn't treated me decently so they deserve it.” she then says. Y/n smirks. “I could see their reactions once they find out. You are my soulmate, Muzan." She says as she starts to smirk at the thought. Muzan then gives an evil smile. The form he is seen in his spirit form was the way he was in the final battle.

The Slytherin girl then decides to leave the Astronomy Tower. She already has her hands on her father's copy of the Advanced Potions making text book. She was surprised that it ended up in the possession of the Boy-Who-Lived, but she was able to get it back so anyone wouldn't get hurt again. She found out that Potter used the Sectumsempra spell her father created against Draco.

Muzan on the other hand, well after, he found out that she is actually Nezuko Kamado’s twin-sister but she looks older than her twin. The way time works on this dimension is different from theirs. He really wants Tanjiro to continue his dream but the boy managed to break free from his control. Y/n pretty much scoff at his attempt to control her brother and told him not to waste his time on her biological family.

The Slytherin girl was currently near the walk ways outside Hogwarts. She sighs. The war begins with Dumbledore dead.

Time skip to 1998 the Battle of Hogwarts...

Y/n was fighting for her school and she wants that Dark Lord. As her father and Draco's parents can't break off the arranged marriage unless if the Dark Lord was killed. Of course, the former Demon King was disgusted with it but they both maintain appearances to avoid suspension. She secretly helps the students under the instructions of her father. She knew that in order for both of them to come out alive was to, well, do bad things to survive. Many thought of her to be loyal to the Dark Lord but no she's loyal to Severus Snape and will always be.

Back to the present, while attacking and dodging attacks of a few Death Eaters. She then Harry giving a look to follow him and his friends. They made their way to the Shrieking Shack. When they made it there, Snape wasn't alone the Dark Lord is there as well.

Y/n listens to their conversation. She's not surprised on why the Elder wand doesn't work on him. Of course, Draco disarmed Dumbledore that night at the Astronomy so it won't work. That had her and Muzan wandering on why he called her father.

Things happened quickly. Voldemort commanded Nagini his snake to attack Severus to which Harry cover Y/n’s mouth to prevent her from screaming. As her tears pour down her cheeks she heard the hissing sound of the Dark Lord's snake as it attacks the poor Potion Master's neck.

“I regret this...” Voldemort mutters before disapperating of course Nagini left. Afterwards she along with the Trio then ran in the shack. The Slytherin girl's eyes widen in horror while Muzan in spirit form looks surprise on what he's seeing. Y/n immediately made her way towards her father before taking out something from the pocket of her robes. “Here, father. Drink this." She says as Severus looks at her before he decides to do so. Y/n help him in drinking the potion.

The Slytherin girl then wraps something around her father's neck. Severus then looks at his daughter as a tear fell from his left eye before he gently places his hand on her head before gently patting it.

Harry then made his way towards their former Potions Professor. The two (mainly three) then look up to see Potter as he knelt down in front of Severus. As Severus looks at Harry, he gestures to his lone tear. “Take it, take it” he pleads. Harry immediately looks at Hermione, Ron, and Y/n. “Quick, give me a flask! Anything!” the boy begs. Hermione hands him a vial.

As Harry takes the offered vial, he hurries up with filling it with Severus’ tear. Once it’s filled, Severus looks at Harry again. “Look at me” he demands rather gently. The boy does as he says as the former Potions Master looks into his green eyes, reminded of Lily Potter. “You have your mother’s eyes” Severus’ tells him. He feels sorrow as he thinks of his former friend.

The Slytherin girl then gives her father a look of sympathy as she has feeling that he's thinking about Potter's mother. Y/n then looks at Harry. “Potter, don't let the lives that were lose tonight in vain...” she tells him to which the Gryffindor teen thought for a moment before he nods his head. He and his friends then left the Shrieking Shack leaving the Slytherin girl (and Muzan) with her father.

“Y/n” Severus calls out in a weak tone. “Ye-Yes Dad?” She says giving her full attention on her beloved father. “Ple-Please take care of yourself...” He says in a weak yet low voice. The Slytherin girl then gives a sorrowful look. She managed to give the anti-vemon to him onto time before it starts to kill him. “T-thank you, Dad..... Thank you for taking me in when my real family and everyone in my home dimension ignore my existence.” she says as she wraps her arms around him. She felt Severus wrap his arms around in his embrace.

Muzan in spirit form was watching the interaction between his soulmate and her father. He really felt bad for Y/n as she was treated as the so-called black sheep in by her biological family. The same family he killed but unknowingly didn't know someone survive of him injecting his blood. Y/n’s twin-sister; Nezuko Kamado. Although, time works differently so the Slytherin girl is older than her living siblings by 3-4 years.

Hours later after the Battle of Hogwarts....

The Slytherin girl is in the Hospital Wing looking at her father. She was relieved that she managed to save him on time.

She was then snap out of her thoughts when she hears a familiar voice. “Snape....” she then turns around to see the Boy-Who-Lived as he seems rather nervous before he takes a deep breath. “You know, I think we should clear the misunderstanding between both of our families. I am so ashamed of how my father bullied yours when they were students. He was one of the reason why your father ended up following the path of becoming a Death Eater besides your grandfather.” he then says before Y/n growl at the mention of her grandfather Tobias Snape. “Of course, I hate him for what he did to my father.” she then replies. “He’s already dead, Y/n. You don't have to worry about him anymore.” Muzan in spirit form tries comforting her. The Slytherin girl then sighs.

Harry then gives her a sympathetic look. “Hey, I felt sorry for you that your real family didn't treated you like the way Snape treated you.” he says as Y/n (and Muzan) were surprised on how he knew that. The Slytherin girl then gives him a serious look. “Not a word to anyone, Potter.” she says. “Don’t worry. I can understand my aunt mistreated me growing up so I can understand.” the Boy-Who-Lived then says as Y/n widen slightly at that.

The Slytherin girl then shook her head immediately. “*sighs* Yes, it's true. I'm not from this dimension but from another. However, I left a long time ago.” she says before looking at her father. “He was the first person who treat me with kindness.” she says with such emotion in her voice. Harry justs nod. “You know, I was wrong about both of you. You both show that there's more between both of you.” he says which made Y/n look at him. “I really hated how much of a jerk my father was and my mother was originally friends with yours until their sixth year. Now, I couldn't blame your father for hating me because I reminded him his own bully and rival.” he says as he looks at her. “I never thought he really didn't want to kill Dumbledore.” he adds as Y/n sighs. “He never wanted to but he has no choice in order for the Dark Lord to trust him completely.” she says. Harry then looks at Severus. “I hope he wakes up.” he says as the Slytherin girl nod in agreement.

An hour later....

Y/n had to leave the Hospital Wing to get something to eat as she made a promise to take care of herself. After she left, the former Potions Master’s finger start to move. Severus starts to groan before he slowly starts to open his eyes. When he completely opens them, he looks around his eyes widen that he's in the Hospital Wing.

When the Slytherin girl came back. Her eyes widen before she immediately made her way towards him. “D-Dad?” she then asks trying her best not to let the tears fall from her eyes. The former Potion Master slowly gives his daughter a hug as she cries on his shoulder. “I'm glad that you're awake..” She sobs out making Severus sigh and rub a circle around her back “It’s okay now. I'm fine now” He says.

Muzan in his spirit form smiles but it was a genuine smile. He had grown to care for Y/n. He then notices someone it was Minerva McGonagall. “Y/n, someone is here.” he then says as the Slytherin girl then looks surprise at her lover's words before looking up. It was Professor McGonagall. The former Potions Master then notices this as well. “M-Minerva?!” he asks completely surprise to see his friend and colleague. Severus flinch as he thinks she was angry at him for the things he done. Y/n immediately move away from her father allowing her professor to hug him but careful not to hurt his neck. “Y-you are not mad at me?” the former Potions Master then asks looking surprise.

At that Harry came to the room to see that Severus is awake. “I’m not, you dunderhead.” McGonagall says to him as the Boy-Who-Lived then approach. “You were a hero. You saved us.” he says which made the former Potions Master then roll his eyes.

They then started to explain what happened. They never left out that the Dark Lord's gone. Severus sighs in relief, finally he's gone. He can finally take a break. “I think I need to retire from teaching being a spy took a toll on me.” The former Potions Master then informs as the other three (more like four) nod in understanding. He then looks at his daughter. “Did Kibutsuji kill anyone when you let him took control?” he asks as he wants to know if Muzan killed any innocent. Muzan in spirit form then sweat drop. He did kill innocent people but seeing things through Y/n, he stopped doing it. The Slytherin girl then laughs nervously.

“U-Uh...” The Slytherin stutter before giving her father a nod. “That's good to hear...” Severus says in relief “I didn't wanted to use you over his personal needs...” He adds making the former Demon King grit his teeth. “How dare you think that I'm going to hurt innocent people?!” he thought. “Don't worry, Dad. I can handle him” The Slytherin girl confirm making Severus nod again. “That's good, sweetheart.” He says.

Harry then looks at Y/n confused. “So Kibutsuji is your soulmate? I found out through the pensieve.” he asks making the Slytherin girl nod in confirmation. “Yes, he is, Potter. He was from the dimension I came from. However, after he was killed his soul sort of got stuck to me.” she says. The Boy-Who-Lived just nod. “I notice when he takes control your eyes turn red.” he says. The Slytherin girl then decides not to talk about it. So she remains silent. Muzan on the other hand stood there in his spirit form quiet as usual. Since Y/n zone out of the conversation. The former Demon King didn't and payed attention.

Months later....

The Malfoys were pardoned thanks to Harry and the Snape family. Of course, Severus was pardoned thanks to the Boy-Who-Lived and his daughter. He was given galleons for saving the entire Wizarding community. However, the was used to only renovate the inside of Severus and Y/n’s home in Spinner's End. The Slytherin girl then decides to persue her path on becoming a Potioneer. Muzan was really happy for as it was something she wanted to do.

However, one day while helping her father gather Potion ingredients as he's out of it particularly for personal use. They (along with the former Demon King) found a passage way but Y/n immediately recognize it as the same one that took her from hers and Muzan’s home dimension. The Slytherin girl got in first with her father follow behind her. When they got through, they both look around. Y/n narrows her eyes while Severus was following behind her(and the former Demon King). They were in the mountains but the ones in her old home. Y/n then growls being around her again while her father notices his daughter's discomfort. Severus held his daughter's hand. “What's the matter, my dear?” he asks in a worried tone.“Thi-This place..” she says as she wanders her eyes around. “What is this place?” The Potion Master asks.

They were both snap out of their thoughts when they notice somebody. The first one was a boy with burgundy hair, he has bright a red while the other was blind, has a scar on his forehead, fair skin but his left arm is wrinkled, and of course he wears Hanafuda earrings. This was Tanjiro Kamado; Y/n’s biological older brother. The other was a girl who is identical to Y/n but younger due to how time works differently in the Wizarding World. She has black hair like the Slytherin girl, identical pink eyes, and pale skin. This girl was Nezuko Kamado; Y/n’s biological older twin-sister. The Slytherin girl then narrows her eyes while she could hear Muzan growl.

Tanjiro then smells a familiar scent that he hasn't smelled in a very long time. He then turns his attention to where it lead to before his eyes widen in shock. “Y/n...?” he whispers in disbelief. Hearing this Nezuko look up before her eyes widen in shock to see her own twin-sister. The one they ignored and barely paid any attention to. “Hello, Tanjiro, Nezuko...” Y/n says in a monotone similar to Severus’. While her father narrows his eyes at his daughter's living biological siblings.

Before the two Kamado’s could say anything they were interrupted when their were people were calling out to them. Pretty much, 8 other people came around. “Who the hell are they!?” the one who wears a boar mask asks. “No way!!! She's so identical to you, Nezuko-chan!!” A guy with blonde hair screech making the two Snapes roll their eyes at that. “Who are these people, Tanjiro?” A guy with white hair who has scars on his face asks while the remaining five look confused. Y/n then narrows her eyes. “I’m not surprised that you two didn't even tell them about me, Tanjiro, Nezuko.” she says as she looks at the friends of her two biological siblings. “Allow me to introduce myself.” she then informs making the others who were confused look at her. “My name is Y/n Snape but my real name is Y/n Kamado. I am Nezuko’s younger but forgotten twin-sister. Mostly known as the so-called black sheep in our family.” she reveals to the friends of the Kamado siblings making them look surprise. “You had another sister, Tanjiro-san?” One of them who has black hair and blue eyes then asks. “I thought Nezuko-chan was the only sister you have living.” The blonde-haired guy then says. The Slytherin girl then glares at both if her biological siblings. “Idiotic dunderheads. You really think I would consider you both as my siblings? No, because you're nothing but strangers to me now. I had found out about what happened to our mother and siblings but it doesn't concern me." She then says having no amount sadness in her voice making the friends of her siblings look at in her surprise. “After all they deserve it for your incompetence and ignoring my existence.” she then adds.

“Y/n, we-” Tanjiro was then cut off when his sister interrupt him. Y/n narrows her eyes. “Don’t Y/n me, brother. I'm no longer the same kind girl you and the rest of our family knew a long time ago. I already had enough because everybody here hates me but all I wanted was to help.” she rants as she tries her best not to let the tears fall from her eyes. “You were all focus on Nezuko and not me?!!! Do you have any idea that I've been suffering on the inside, do you?!” she then asks as her brother remain silent as the realization hit him hard. The Slytherin girl then looks at her twin but they don't look like twins anymore because she looks a bit older. “What about you, Nezuko? Have you even bothered to know what I feel? No, because you all just ignore me.” She then adds making Nezuko look down in shame. “That’s why a long time ago I ran away and left our dimension. I became Y/n Snape, the daughter of Severus Snape.” she then finishes as her father step forward as he stood next to her.

Muzan has the urge to take control and mock Y/n’s brother pretty much whom he thought he can pass his ideals to him when he's about to be defeated months prior in this world but in the Wizarding World it was about 2 years.

Severus then glares at his daughter’s biological siblings. “Idiot, ignorant, and selfish dunderheads. You two really thought things would go your way. Especially you.” He says as he looks at the older Kamado sibling. “You and your other siblings ignore Y/n. Took the things she done for granted but never bothered thanking her. People like you, get what they deserved in the end.” the former Potions Master then scowls. Seeing this Y/n then let the former Demon King take control as her eyes turn red. She then smiles wickedly. “What a shame.... I really thought about letting you to rule the world and continue my goals. However, now I think it wasn't worth it.” Muzan spoke through the Slytherin girl shocking Tanjiro, Nezuko, and their friends. The burgundy hair boy then forward his eyebrows. “Muzan Kibutsuji?!! You've survived?! And why are you controlling my sister?!!” he then demands making the former Demon King laugh darkly. “Control, her? Well, I didn't. She allowed me to take control.” she then says as the Kamado siblings and the others look surprise. “What?” Tanjiro asks not believing what he's hearing. “Don’t call Y/n your sister as just as she said before you are nothing but strangers to her now.” Muzan then informs. The former Potions Master then decides to speak. “Unfortunately, it escaped your notice but life is unfair and also cruel. As punishment because of what you did of ignoring the existence of my daughter. Kibutsuji’s soul merge with Y/n’s soul. My daughter's soul mark is the Blue Spider Lily which means he was the soulmate to my daughter.” He then reveals as the former Demon King while having control of Y/n’s body smirk while looking amuse by the others’ reaction.

“Y/n, for-forgive me...” Tanjiro says as he feels embarrass for what he had done to his beloved little sister. “No, it's too late for you to say those things to her...” She says, bitterly. “She's happy now. She's happy without you both anymore....” The former Demon King spoke through Y/n. “Yes, that's right in the dimension she currently lives with me. Of course, she has people she cared about in comparison to you dunderheads. If you treated her decently none of this would happen.” Severus then scowls.

‘Do you want me to kill them, my love?’ Muzan asks Y/n through their thoughts. The Slytherin girl then places her hand under her chin before she then starts speaking. “No, but keep them alive. I want them to suffer in misery and regret for what they did to me.” she then says making the former Demon King groan in annoyance but he decides not to argue. Muzan then looks at the burgundy-haired boy. “You’re lucky she told me not to kill you. Even though, I want to.” She then says as he and their friends get into combat position. The former Demon King then scowls. “I have no intention on killing you as it's just a waste of time.” she then says as Y/n’s eyes turn back to normal. She then takes out her wand pointing it out her brother, sister, and their friends. “Take one step or I'll hex you.” she then warns.

The two Kamado siblings want to approach their sister but with her pointing that stick at them and the look she's giving tells them she's no longer the same girl they knew. “Y/n.” Nezuko calls out but her twin just ignore her with her eyes narrowed.

Severus places a hand on his daughter’s shoulder making her look at him. “We should head back....” he says making the Slytherin girl then smile. “I would love that very much, Dad.” she then says in a soft tone before her stoic yet unreadable expression cross her face once more when she looks at her biological siblings. She just scowls before she and her father then flew away in black smoke. Tanjiro drop down to his knees as tears start falling from his eyes. The younger Kamado then kneels beside him as they both cried feeling regret for the things they did to their younger sister.

With the Snape family...

They find themselves in the passage way. The Slytherin girl then feels satisfied for the truth she said to her biological siblings. Y/n has a satisfied smirk which made her lover amuse as she gave them hurtful yet truthful things. Well, Muzan being her soulmate wa what shock and horrified them more. The former Potions Master then approaches his daughter as he holds his hand out in which she gladly took. To which they got through the portal. When the got through, they found themselves back in the woods on while they were gathering Potion ingredients. They then continue doing so.

Later back in Spinner's End in Y/n’s room....

Y/n was reading her father's copy of Advanced Potions Making. While her lover was watching her as she looks cute on how she's concentrated. Most of her behavior were planted on her by her father even though they weren't biologically related by blood. Y/n has people who cared about her. Her father, Muzan Kibutsuji; her lover, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Mariam Nott; Theodore’s sister, Narcissa Malfoy; her Godmother, Lucius Malfoy; her Godfather, Professor McGonagall, and the late Headmaster Dumbledore. The Slytherin girl was satisfied with the life she has in the Wizarding World as she then let's go off her life back in her home dimension. She doesn't care about what happened to Tanjiro and Nezuko. It didn't matter to her. She then continues on her path to become a Potioneer.

End of this one-shot

Behind the scenes of this one-shot (play music feature on this one):

Y/n is seen dancing with her boyfriend who is pretty much Muzan in his final form from the Kimetsu no Yaiba Manga. She then giggles. “You know I like it when you look like this.” she then admits making her boyfriend chuckle. “You do, huh, my love?” Muzan says as he keep his arms around his girlfriend. They both keep dancing in the music. Y/n then looks at her boyfriend in the eye. “Are you okay about dancing without wearing shoes?” she asks worriedly as he chuckles. “Don’t worry, I can handle it. You knew I've been a part of a lot of dancing competition when I was back in High School.” he then says as they continue dancing with his girlfriend.

Muzan then carefully twirls Y/n around making her giggle. He then smiles softly. His girlfriend was surprised that he's able to continue dancing without slipping when he's not wearing shoes because his character’s final form doesn't wear any so he's barefooted.

The young actor slowly spin his girlfriend around making her yelp in surprise. “Calm down, love.. I won't let you go...” He assure his girlfriend. “You better..” She mumbles. Muzan continue dancing with her while they were looking at each other. After the music stop, the young actor then looks at his girlfriend. “You were a great dancer, my love.” he then compliments making Y/n blush. “I’ve had dance lessons when I was back in middle school.” she then admits. The young actor then pulls her close to him. “You were incredible, Y/n.” he then says as he felt her place her head against his bare chest. His girlfriend then looks at him. “They would at least let you appear in your character’s normal form not the final form.” she then mutters.

Muzan then immediately knew what she was feeling. After shooting scenes with him in this appearance. She seem to be very clingy when other people stare at him. The young actor could tell she was jealous. Muzan then carefully places his hand under her chin careful not to hurt Y/n with his fake long finger nails. “Are you jealous?” He asks carefully making his girlfriend look at him surprise. How did he knew?

“Why would I be jealous?” She ask innocently making Muzan to let out a breathy laugh. “Well, my love, it's pretty obvious that you are.” He says. Y/n rolls her eyes out and shove her boyfriend away a little. “Meanie...” She says along with a pout “Sorry. Sorry. ” The young actor replies before making his way to his beloved girlfriend. When he approach, Y/n let her hand go through the wig white he was wearing on his head for his character’s final form. Muzan gently grab her hand with his as he then took it to his before gently kissing it. “No need to be jealous, Y/n. I am yours and yours alone.” he says before moving Y/n’s hand to his chest. “Just as much you are mine.” he then adds.

The young actress blush at her boyfriend’s action. “M-Muzan, I-” she was interrupted when her boyfriend then kisses her. Muzan then wrap his arms around her waist. He then felt her wrap her arms around his neck.

They both then pull away but the young actor kept his arms around his girlfriend. They two then look at each other's eyes. After moments of silence, Y/n then sighs. “Fine, maybe I was a bit jealous. It's because we have to shoot when you look like this. I couldn't stand any other women staring at you in this appearance.” she says referring to where he was shirtless. Muzan then wrap his arm around her as he then places a kiss on her forehead. The young actor then looks at his girlfriend. “I know, my love, I noticed.” he then says before he then caresses her hair.

The young actress looks down as she was flustered for what her boyfriend said. “Oh, stop it.” She mumbles making her boyfriend chuckle. “You're so cute” He comments making the young actress even more flustered. “Muzan!” She whine before burying her face against the young actor's chest. Muzan then smiles softly. “This is one of the reasons on why I love you. You're so adorable when you look so flustered.” he then says.

The young actor then carefully caresses her hair with his fake long. “My feelings for you will never change. I am yours and yours alone.” He reassures his girlfriend. Hearing those words, Y/n then wrap her arms him. Muzan then wrap his arms around her. She is the only one he ever love so it would never changed.

Splendidisssimus: The Unauthorised Draco Malfoy Biography

Stories spanning roughly 25 years of Draco's life from ~16 to ~40, featuring also his parents and Theo. Draco masters wandless magic. Theo is employed as Draco's researcher / assistant and then personal healer / caregiver.

Fair warning / assurance: I'm actually incapable of giving them a tragic ending. But man will they suffer a lot before they get out of it.

----

✨Observation✨ Draco Malfoy has a lot of interesting potential which ends up completely wasted, as far as I can tell. He seems to be genuinely good at, well, everything he acts arrogant about -- academics, Quidditch, dueling, influencing people. He is a genuinely hard worker. He's charismatic and clever. And all of that seems squandered after 5th year.

Secondary observation: being forced to work for Voldemort for two years while he lives in your very house is a perfect storm for CPTSD. Plus, life as a Malfoy is going to be very complicated for a while after Voldemort is defeated.

✨Plan✨ Explore where that potential could actually take him without being wildly OOC. Explore the actual ramifications of the books. Explore wizard society. Use Draco as a vehicle to address my serious humanitarian and lore issues with the Wizarding Worldbuilding.

✨The "Alternate" Part✨ Draco's assignment from Voldemort to kill Dumbledore also came with a time bomb -- a curse that progressively weakened him the longer he went without succeeding, and would have killed him at the 1 year mark: less than a week after Dumbledore actually died. This effect is permanent and leaves him physically weak and with a vastly diminished life expectancy.

And then have Draco accidentally dump a cauldron of Amortentia on Theo to turn it Draco Malfoy x Theodore Nott because reasons.

People are the result of the choices they made in their life and the events they went through. So I don't think calling a character OOC is fair. Honestly, maybe I'm wrong but if you throw Hermione in the Maraudeur timeline, she's not going to be the same Hermione in HP books. Hermione is complicated to like and without Harry and Ron she wouldn't have many friends. Unlike Hermione. Lily and the Maraudeur always strikes me as very popular and their time more dangerous against muggleborn student1/2

2/2 so if Hermione was born in the Maraudeur timeline, I don't think she would have been friend with Lily, the Maraudeur. not even Severus Snape (Lily was his only exception). Hermione is smart but very awkward and sometimes rude. Strangely, I could see her more closer with Barty Crouch jr (outside of any romantic relationship) he was a brilliant student even more than Hermione (he had 12 BUSES). But it's possible she doesn't see any future for her in the magical world and choose an another path

3/3 Muggle-born giving up on magic is interesting, and after the HP Books, it's canon that some of them went to Azkaban. God know what happened to them in the 70s and 80s a time in which the worst death eater were alive and sane. Probably a lot of insolved case of murder or vanishing muggle born. I mean Dolohov and Lestrange were trial for the death of the Prewett and the torture of the Longbottom, all pureblood wizard. Same for the Order of the Phoenix mostly half blood and pureblood. 3/4

4/4 It always feel like Lily was an exception in alot of case (like being in the ooP) because she had very good qualities: smartness, beauty, charisma and she was friendly. Hermione is smart but that's all. So muggle-born aren't well considered not even by the wizard government. No wonder why Hermione would give up on magic. Sorry I'm too chatty. Hope I didn't scare you. It's just my interpretation after all people are free to see Hermione as some kind of Wonder Woman.

**

I like your interpretation.  It something that I could totally agree with given the right circumstances.  I loved how you brought up Azkaban.  Yes!  All of those poor Muggle-borns who got sent to Azkaban for “stealing magic” by the Muggle-Born Registration Committee during the last year of the war are so often forgotten.  What happened to them there?  How were they able to recover?  Were they able to recover?  Even if magic was a part of me and I was sent to Azkaban for months for doing literally nothing wrong, I imagine that my bitterness and hatred for the rest of the wizarding world could very well grow to the point that when I was eventually released, I’d want nothing to do with magic again.  If those were the kinds of worries that you had to face as a Muggle-Born, they can’t really be blamed for snapping their wand and running.

And yes, Hermione is really annoying.  Seriously, y’all don’t come at me for saying so. 😂 I love her character, but she is.  If you’re really reading the canon books and paying attention to how she treats the other students, she’s not all that likable.  She’s condescending and often quite rude to people who she disagrees with.  She came into this new world as an outsider and immediately started telling everyone that she disagreed with how they should change.  The house-elves DID NOT WANT to be free!  But because “she knew better”, she fought for something they didn’t want and she alienated an entire species in the process.  

Her flaws are what make her a more interesting character.  Perfection is BORING.  There are a few stories out there in the fandom where she is so disgustingly perfect and supremely powerful that I might have seriously injured my eyes by rolling them so hard.  And these are stories that I see get recommended time and time again!  It’s no wonder so many readers demand absolute perfection and why they couldn’t understand in one of my stories why Hermione couldn’t just use wandless (don’t even get me STARTED on how the movies f*cked up the whole idea of wandless magic being something that is soooo easy and anyone can do 🤬) magic after five years of having her magic suppressed to save herself and sixty other people off of a Ministry-controlled island in the middle of the sea!  Oh, I’m sorry.  Was she supposed to save everyone in the first chapter and then fart rainbows and sneeze cotton candy too?!

I don’t really see her being friends with the Marauders either, but that’s my personal opinion.  I’m also not a big fan of those characters so I might be a little biased.  Does everyone forget how she agreed with Molly in The Order of the Phoenix and disapproved of how Sirius kept trying to treat Harry like he was his dad?  

And your first point is so absolutely, 100% true.  “People are the result of the choices they made in their life and the events they went through.”  I could have a twin sister born on the exact same day who lived with me all through childhood and adolescence, but we would still not be the same person.  Because one situation I might react to one way and she might another.  It wouldn’t make either one of us wrong.  This is why it’s so hard to judge someone for their choices.  Just because you THINK you might have behaved one way if it was you, you can’t know that.  Everyone is different.  We all make different choices and we change and we grow as people.  Just last night I was having a conversation with my mother and I said, “I’m not even the same person I was a year ago” and she agreed.  My choices and my experiences changed me.  Now, if a year ago I went down one path instead of the one I chose, I’d probably be an even different person.  That’s what makes life so complicated and exciting.

And never apologize for being chatty!  I love it.  💜

[warheroics-blog]

It's probably a good thing that Voldemort did all his drama show in Europe, if he had been in America, I feel like half the wizarding community there might have slapped him silly using wandless magic or something I mean, it was noted that James Potter was killed rather easily because he didn't have his wand, imagine if he was capable of wandless magic like Percival Graves, he might have been able to wave a hand and sent Voldemort flying out the door Even if it was only delaying the inevitable, it would have annoyed the hell out of Voldemort

[riddleredcoats]

For the sentence meme, 'i never loved you'. For Bellamort. Please.

So this an AU, set in the HP world where everything is basically the same but in which Snape couldn’t kill Dumbledore in HBP. Just a little snippet of this Alternate Universe. A little OOC Voldemort, maybe?

(Also, I know that Bella wasn’t there when Dumbledore died, but just go with it, please?)

Hope you like it, @ionlydrinkonline

------------

It was mid-May 1998 and the world was a different place than Voldemort had planned on it being. At this time last year he, Bellatrix and Snape were making plans to finally put an end to Dumbledore and his far-reaching influence, after all, he wasn’t truly counting on Draco Malfoy to actually kill Dumbledore.

By June, a mere eleven months ago even if he felt like an eternity had passed, everything had gone according to plan; the boy had gotten Bellatrix and his – well, hers, really, sometimes it felt like – Death Eaters into the school, and the only thing that had been left to do was kill the old fool.

But something had gone wrong.

Snape, who Bellatrix had claimed – over and over and over again – to be a traitor to no avail, had indeed been turned and, in the end, wouldn’t perform the deed. Worse still, not one of his Death Eaters had returned, only the boy – her nephew, of course – had managed to escape.

The boy had escaped and had run home to his mothers arms to tell them of the massacre the Order – led by Moody, forewarned by Snape of the Dark Lord’s plans – had unleashed upon his Death Eaters. He’d seen in the boy’s mind and knew that at least Greyback, the Snatchers he’d sent along and the Carrows were dead.

Bellatrix, the sole survivor of the group, had been able to stall everyone long enough for Draco to escape, dealing blow after blow to the Order warriors – the Weasley Matriarch was dead, as was Mundungus and Moody had lost his other eye along with half his skull – but she couldn’t hold on against eight skilled warrior forever. As Draco neared the apparation spot near the end of the Forbidden Forest, Bellatrix had managed a last long look, before thrusting her nephew over the threshold so he could disaparate out of there. She turned to the battle deflecting Dumbledore’s spell but not before giving her nephew her necklace, the necklace that he had given to her.

Sentimental perhaps, and although there was a sentimental value to her gesture, it was more pragmatic than it seemed, the necklace doubled as a portkey to his – their? – house. Always sentimentally practical, that woman. She, even in what could have been her last moments, had protected them… Had protected him. A lump formed in his throat thinking of the last gesture he knew her to make.

But she wasn’t dead. He would have known. They had taken her. Why, why, why, why…

He had been dealt a heavy blow. Heavier than he even knew. The leaderless Death Eaters he could deal with, Rodolphus being able to do a passable job – if subpar in comparison – in Bellatrix absence. The werewolves had Greyback’s second in command, and the Carrows had never been terribly essential. The others didn’t bear mentioning.

The movement – his movement – while not thriving was chugging along well enough, in better condition even than the Order was. He had, after all, raided every single outpost of that little organization that he could find. Had left rivers of blood and mountains of corpses in his wake, in his attempts to find her. No stone left unturned, not until he had her.

Bellatrix’ absence… He couldn’t explain it, he had spent long years without her, without her warmth, without her company, without her care – he never did like the word ‘love’, even if was what she felt for him, he knew it to be so – but this time… It hurt him, affected him, depleted him to a point he could barely keep himself focused.

But all that was about to end. Rodolphus had found her, at long last. Hidden at a cottage deep in Scottish lands. McGonagall, he thought darkly, Of course.

He entered his home – he’d been away on a mission on the Continent, the war didn’t stop on her account although it should have, perhaps – and Rodolphus quickly met him at the door.

“Where is she?” He asked as he put his cloak down, boundless energy about him.

“Third floor.” Voldemort moved immediately, “She’s in perfect condition. Although, she’s bound.” Rodolphus whispered casually as Voldemort rushed to push him to go away to his own house and leave him and Bella alone, finally. “There’s something you should…”

Voldemort didn’t give him time to speak, “I’ll deal with whatever it is, Rodolphus. Leave us.”

“Very well.” Rodolphus sighed and ran his hand through his greying red-ish brow hair, “She’s in her office.” With that, the man turned to leave, leaving Voldemort to resume his fast pace to meet her.

Ah, of course, Rodolphus would put her where she’d feel more in control. More at ease. Her office was on the third floor of the Manor, well away from his so they both could work in private without any distractions. It mattered not, they’d reach their bedroom easily enough from there.

He paused for beat at the door of her office, unprepared to see her again after nearly a year of separation. How he craved her… How he yearned for her worship. With a deep breath he prepared himself to see her and pushed the door open.

And there she was. Whole, healthy, with tear-filled grey eyes, kneeling, bounded and gagged and set against May’s blue sky, the large open window letting in the warm sun.

And his hard heart, unharden a little when he saw her there; with the Sun on her shoulders, wind in her black hair, the smell of her perfume, and suddenly he felt only a man before her. Not Lord, not the ever-in-control Dark Lord. Just Tom, despite his distaste for the name. He was just that, himself.

He rushed to her and relished in her trembling. She was always so sensitive to his presence after a long while apart. Always shuddered when he was near after a long absence and they would barely leave the bed for the first day after their reunion. His lips quirked up in a small smile as he knelt beside her.

“I’m sorry,” he murmured softly the so rarely uttered words – words, in fact, spoken to her and her alone – he approached her and started undoing all the binds, “I didn’t go with them. I was out of the country when Rodolphus called me.”

When he finished untying her legs, he was caught by surprise when her foot swung out to strike him. It hit him in the shoulder, and even as the pain hit him it was nothing compared to her apparent rejection of him. What the hell… He panicked as he saw her rise and dash towards the open window – of the third floor, was she trying to kill herself? – and with little bit of wandless magic bound her again.

She fell hard against the wall and pushed herself closer to it and away from him. With heavy breathing, Voldemort ungagged her.

“L-Let me g-go.” She whispered and seemed unable to meet his eyes, to even look at his face. How unlike her. Her voice was small, trembling as she pleaded him, “P-please, l-let me go.”

He stood stock-still. She wanted to go? Why, why, why, why…

“Why?” It took a while for him to register that the broken voice had come from him. He watched her advert her eyes from him, not in deference but in fear. She hadn’t feared him in a very long time. He repeated the question, voice hoarse as his throat seemed clogged with something he couldn’t identify, “Why?”

“P-please let me go.” This-this body had Bellatrix’ face and her magic – which was so familiar to him – but his Bella had never sounded so… pitiful. “I-I… please, I don’t b-belong here. I-I want to go h-home.”

He snarled, “You’re home.” He couldn’t help but correct, harshly.

Bellatrix whimpered under his mild – oh, ever so mild – temper, “P-Please, s-sir…M-My Lord.” She chocked on the words as if she’s never said them before, “Y-You’ve had me before, p-please, n-no more, I-I don’t want…” she gasped as if some part of her understood the torment she was causing him, but nevertheless, she continued, “I-I don’t want anymore.”

“Bella,” he gasped her name, pain in every inflection of his voice, and uttered the words that had never truly passed between them, though he knew them to be true, “You love me.”

“I never…” She gasped as if she couldn’t finish the sentence, her grey-nearly-white eyes were already clouded with tears, and as she forced out the words through her pain-filled throat, she for the first time didn’t stumble through her words, “I never loved you.”

He faltered. His gaze fell from hers and his legs near swayed and, unbidden, a hand rose to his chest as her words pierced his mind. What…What did she say?

“I never loved you.” She repeated as if she’d heard his thoughts.

He winced at that. Bella knew his thoughts and would respond to his unspoken question. But the thought of this… imposter doing the same was unbearable. It wasn’t her. It couldn’t be. He refused to believe her. She loved him. Madly. He knew that. When he lifted his eyes from the floor to look at her, her eyes were wide as if she could not believe her own words.

“Why,” a sob escaped her throat, her hands rose to her chest clutching around her heart as if she had felt the same torturous pain he had, “Why does it hurt so much?” She sobbed, her lips quivering, her eyes wet and clouded from tears.

He said nothing. Merely looked at her, his red eyes stinging with the beginning of long unshed tears as her torment spread to him. She filled the silence with questions he had the answers to but couldn’t bring himself to explain to her.

“Why does it hurt when I look at you? Why does it hurt to have you so close to me, and even more so when you’re farther away? Why does it hurt when I say…”

She cried harder, loud heavy breaths escaped the lips he’d kissed a thousand times before but knew not if he’d kiss again. Wouldn’t, as long as she remained as she was. Couldn’t, not until she was herself again. He remained silent, distant and firm against her cries.

As she sobbed and recoiled into herself, making herself tiny against the wall, something twisted inside of him. He had her back, but she was broken well and truly this time. She was no longer Bellatrix. Azkaban hadn’t managed to break her, but they had… He’d killed them. Tear them down limb to limb until nothing remained. His blood boiled and sang with the thought.

Bellatrix’ shudders and weeping arose him from his more degenerate thoughts, and he realized that he had more pressing concerns. He would have to fix this – her – first. And he would. It was some sort of spell, surely. Or a potion. Either way, the evidence would be in her mind.

With a determined move, he removed his wand from its holster. For her, because of her defences – defences he’d help create – he’d have to actually, for the first time in years, utter the spell. When he raised his wand at her, he flinched and his face torturously twisted, at her terrified yell. He pushed her cry from his head and focused on his magic.

“Legilimens.” He uttered the incantation and found himself immersed in her memories.

They passed by quick. Memories of her. With her sisters. At Hogwarts. With Rodolphus. With some boy in her sixth year. So far so good, he knew all of her, this was her. Then, started memories of him. Of them. They too were the same, unaltered, with the same raw feeling. Same reckless abandon she had given him. Nights together, days spent in company. It all blurred pass him faster and faster as his desperation built, when he found nothing wrong with her memories. The horrors of Azkaban blurred by, the debacle of the department of Mysteries flew by them and then, finally, her capture at Hogwarts.

They took her to an Order outpost – one he had raided several months ago and left as many of his people alive as he had left of the Order’s, when it turned out she wasn’t at that outpost either – and there, they had messed with her mind. They tried Legilimency, torture, blackmail, threats but she held herself steadfast. Her defences had been too strong, even Snape hadn’t broken through, so they decided to break her.

They repeatedly invaded her, ripped through her until her mind simply shattered. Her memories had then spilled out, like a silver river from her, they were unnavigable so forcibly taken they were, but as a blank slate, they had turned her against him, and then submerged her again in her memories, her new perception of him colouring her view of their past. Then, he watched an Order meeting where she spilled his every secret.

They know. That thought fell second to, They changed it.

‘It’, being their past. They changed it, her memories of him were twisted, moulded in the image they thought he should represent to her. Torturer. Murder. Abuser. Jailer.

Voldemort growled. He’d turn them all to ash.

Her memories were altered, yes, but not by magic. They changed her perception of him. It was simply the way things were now. It was simply the way she thought of him now.

There was nothing he could do.

He felt his head sway under his new reality.

“I never loved you.” The words fall from breathless lips and despite himself, Voldemort felt what seemed to be the last remainder of his heart leap out of his chest. She had been lying, he knew. But not anymore. Her heart said something but her head another, and for once she chose to follow her head. She talked, compulsively, “I never loved you. I never loved you. I never loved you.” Her hands curled in her hair and she rocked back and forward, riddled with confusion, torn between her head and her heart.

Every repeat was like a sword through his gut. Again. And again. And again.

With a painful sigh he tentatively sat next to her, both of them on the floor, leaning against the wall. He with his head between his knees and she in her own little world, rocking back and forth, uttering that spineless truth over and over.

“I never loved you.

I never loved you.

I never-

———————–

I thought of course of having Voldemort saying it to Bellatrix, but that’s so basic? And then, there was the thought of Bellamort doing a scheme and Bella saying that as part of a con in a fluffy way, and then another with Bella saying to Roddy, but then I decided to do this… ooops? I’m sorry?

[braverytaught]

happy birthday to the only witch in the world minerva mcgonagall

[carewyncromwell]

8, 14, 20, and 22 for talking about mc/jacob questions!!

8. Would MC/Jacob use Legilimency on anyone, anytime, or only when absolutely necessary? Does this change over time? Do they ever become as powerful as Snape/Dumbledore/Queenie? (wandless and non-verbal)

“I would only use it if I had to. It’s a horribly invasive thing, shoving your way into someone else’s mind and dissecting it like it’s something for a Potion.”

Jacob: “Pip, those people who don’t have anything to hide should have nothing to fear from us using it, particularly if it helps us protect each other. And besides, if it hadn’t been for me using Legilimency, we never would’ve been able to confab in the first place. I see a lot of potential in it, personally -- one only has to use it wisely.”

(OOC: Both Cromwells would eventually have the potential to use Leglimency nonverbally, but Jacob would have trouble doing it without a wand in his pocket and Carewyn would always struggle a little more with Occlumency than Legilimency.)

14. How does MC/Jacob feel about Muggles and Muggle relations? Do they understand Muggle culture and clothing? Do they use Muggle technology?

Jacob: “Ha! I was raised as a Muggle since Mum couldn’t tell old Popsie about her ancestry and magic until after I got my Hogwarts letter, so yeah, I’m cool with the Muggle world.”

“I was three when Jacob went to Hogwarts, so I knew about magic...but Mum still largely raised both of us in the Muggle world, even if she’s a witch. Both Jacob and I went to Muggle primary school and Mum could buy second-hand Muggle clothes more cheaply than robes, so we mostly dressed like Muggles at home too. And let’s be honest, Muggles just have better music!”

Jacob: “And novels.”

“And movies!”

Jacob: “Not to mention how much easier it is to write with pencils than with quills. Really, wizards could take quite a few ideas from Muggles, if they didn’t have their heads so firmly up their own arses.”

20. If MC had access to a Pensieve, what memory would they most like to revisit and explore?

...What would I want to revisit? Anything with Jacob would be nice, but...only until I remember what happened after...

“...Gosh...I don’t know...um...maybe...maybe the time I went to go see the Weasleys for Christmas, the year Mum was forced to work over winter break? I was able to sing them some Muggle Christmas songs, and Mr. Weasley was really excited about it...Merula and I even sang ‘Ring the Hogwart Bell’ together. *smiles slightly at the memory* It was...a nice surprise, us actually getting along long enough to sing together.”

And 22 can be read here! 💚

MC Ask! // Send Carewyn an owl!
