✨and they were roommates✨

—————

finally posting an older piece I sketched a while back…that’s why Val’s eyebrows look whack 🤪

[tanaisokay]

Posting more of my coms that I had done while on Twitter/Bsky ~

This gorgeous piece is by the wonderful Lina on bsky!

I decided I wanted to be more self-indulgent with my HL coms going forward, which means I am allowing myself to get more coms of the girls. My MC Aster is closest to Grace Pinch-Smedley and Nerida Roberts, to the point that the three are literally inseparable. Sebastian and Ominis don't even come close to touching these three in my mind. As much as the boys are lovely, girls are far more superior to teenage boys. So I shall give my MC the stable and happy relationships she deserves. And yes, Poppy and Natty are wonderful, I love them to pieces - but there's something far more alluring I find of Grace and Nerida, that Aster is utterly drawn to. Nerida and Aster are practically the same person in my mind, just different levels of ambition. Grace and Aster are a perfect blend of strengths that they bounce off each other beautifully. Plus, the DRAMA. Please, I gotta work off the in-game drama! It's so juicy and open ended, it's practically begging me to work with it and use it as my own.

I have so many HC's for both Nerida and Grace, it's not funny. I've fully built on their characters and kind of turned them into my own at this point. However, to me, they are the best magical besties Aster could ever ask for.

A huge thank you once again to Lina for the masterpiece! She quite literally knew exactly what I was asking for in terms of pose, and I am very grateful that she brought this piece to life.

Slytherin gang's all here 🐍

Sebastian Sallow is a charming and extroverted boy whose twin sister, Anne, suffers from a mysterious, debilitating curse. Sebastian is convinced that her last hope for a cure lies in the Dark Arts — and he is determined to find it. He does not view magic as good or evil, but rather a tool to achieve his goals. He is optimistic, a trait his parents also had. He relies on their memory to stay open-minded and persistent, pursuing and using knowledge as a guide.

Ominis Gaunt is a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, born into the pure-blood House of Gaunt. He was born blind, and no spell was able to reverse it. After this, he took to using his wand, which was "almost sentient", to navigate his way around. His upbringing resulted in trauma that made him pessimistic, distrusting of people, and sarcastic.

Grace Pinch-Smedley comes from an upper-class family in Bath, England. Her posh and stately appearance, coupled with her proper and dignified manner of speaking are reflective of her upbringing. The Pinch-Smedley Family are renowned for their contributions to science and art, a fact which Grace takes pride in. Grace's grandfather was into astronomy and one day set sail with Grace's grandmother on a quick star-gazing cruise across the Black Lake. Tragically, the boat capsized and Grace's grandparents vanished into the lake, presumed to have drowned. Her father was devastated and forbade the family from ever going near the Black Lake again.

Imelda Reyes is an incredibly proud and competitive individual, who prides herself on her flying skills on a broom. These skills have earned her the title of Slytherin's Quidditch Captain, the respect of her peers,, as well as the privilege of being Madam Kogawa's star pupil. While Imelda may seem boastful and overbearing at times, it stems from her extremely competitive drive to be the best, and her dislike for people who do not take things as seriously as she does. Imelda always gives her best, and expects the best, but she also respects those of considerable skill and passion.

The Yule ball letters mess. // Pt.3

MC: *passes the next letter to Sebastian*

This one smells like-

Ominis: Cinnamon.

Sebastian: *sniffs the letter* You two never fail to impress me. Feeling left out again…

*finally opens the letter*

Hey, MC.

Happy to announce that I finally finished the formula for my special brew! All thanks to you. I’ve been thinking about sneaking it to the Yule ball. Speaking of which – will you go with me and help me out?

Best wishes,

Garreth Weasley.

Sebastian: *annoyed noise* Argh. Help yourself, Garreth.

Ominis: *shakes his head* As if MC had nothing better to do. But at least he was straightforward about his intentions.

MC: I’d be glad to help him once again for sure, but going to the ball with him was not… in my thoughts.

Sebastian: He has his ‘special brew’ now as a dancing partner. No need to panic.

MC: Two more to go.

Sebastian: Well, aren’t you popular, MC.

Ominis: Says the man who got 10 love letters last year.

Sebastian: Envious, are we?

Greetings upon you, the most trusted friend of the Pinch-Smedley family. In these dire times one can only hope that everything is well with you.

We’ve been truly honored to receive help from you – now you’re honored with this invitation of the most noble kind. I, Grace, thus invite you to the Yule ball as my dancing partner. The details on matching outfits shall be included in the next letter, should you accept the invitation.

With best regards and wishes,

Grace Pinch-Smedley.

Ominis: Argh. She sounds just like my grandmother.

Sebastian: And behaves like one?

MC: She’s nice. But way too polite.

Sebastian: Whatever you say. Ah, the last one. From the stargazer lad.

Hello, MC, how are you doing?

Haven’t seen you for a while at astronomy classes. Hope you’re all right.

Tonight I watched the skies and saw two stars dancing together in the swirls of stardust. The skies sent me a sign, for sure. And I am certainly not going to ignore it.

Will you go to the Yule ball with me? To be the brightest of all stars gathered there?

I’ll be watching for the skies to send me your answer.

Till we meet again,

Stargazing Amit.

Ominis: Now that is how you write letters. *chuckles* That astronomy lad is quite something…

MC: I’ll say.

Sebastian: Nothing special in him. He’s mad about his precious stars – not about you – about stars. Counts even you as one.

Ominis: Don’t be ridiculous. And jealous.

Sebastian: *hiding the last letter – his, of course – in the sleeve, blushing*

I-..I am never jealous. It’s you who is.

Ominis: Pffft. As if I had nothing better to do. I barely write letters… Unlike-

Sebastian: OMINISSSS!!

Ominis: Ominis what?

*MC just chuckles looking at those two*

Professor Onai’s Prophecy

Numerous fifth years are hanging out in the Great Hall including Phineas Hearst, when Marie McKay and Farrah Ellington come to tell the group of a fascinating prophecy.

Farrah Ellington, Basil Ellington, Georgiana Wotton, Enfys Midway, and Esther Hitchens belong to @melodymidway

Phineas Hearst’s POV, October 1895

The Great Hall was always a lively environment that almost made Phineas motivated to get an early start on his next assignments. Although he found himself deciphering the newest messages the hidden traces of ancient magic told him rather than any of his current studies. His other work would have to wait, he often told himself each time he delved head first into his independent studies and research he collaborated on with Professor Fig, that was becoming even more fascinating than ever before as the subject of the work he was just beginning to learn.

Typically, at the Slytherin table it would solely be just his housemates. But that was not the case this time although they certainly were not absent. Currently, Sebastian and Ominis were having a heated debated if you could cast accio on a person and not just mere objects. Meanwhile, Imelda Reyes was trying to express her frustrations on quidditch getting cancelled this year for the one hundredth time to Grace Pinch-Smedley who had her nose in a book focused on scientific innovations in the muggle realm and barely paid attention. Although she did seem to get more success with talking with Zsuzsi Schröder, a Ravenclaw who also lost her opportunity to further her skills as a beater this season.

Phineas casually glanced over at Georgiana Wotton, a fascinating individual in his year and a Gryffindor student who always held a grudge against him. Typically, she guarded herself with her friends which used to consist of Phineas’ own sister although no longer because of her graduation a few months ago. Yet Phineas knew full well they still communicated regularly and Georgiana was seemingly planning to meet up with her in Hogsmeade, curious to see how Gladys’ new work as an investigator was currently going now that she was a few months in.

On Georgiana’s right sat the only member of their small group who was not in their year, a Ravenclaw guy named Basil Ellington. Phineas did not know how Georgiana was able to tolerate his methods of pursuing a closer bond when she outright rejected him. Yet he found it equally surprising that the two of them had not officially announced any sort of relationship between the two. Perhaps they were simply waiting for a betrothal to be announced before getting too serious. Although anyone with a knowledge of status could tell it would be hard to become reality as both were the heirs of their families.

On her left was one of her housemates and beloved friends, Natsai Onai, although everyone knew her better as Natty. She was a relatively recent addition to Hogwarts, arriving with her mother at the beginning of the previous year from Matableland following her transfer from Uagadou when her mother became their new divination professor. But not as recent as Mina and Esther, which made him curious on what was taking the latter so long since he could have sworn she promised to meet up with them. He could see why Natty got along with Georgiana considering she was also skilled in wandless magic so they could help each other with improving their skills and maintain proficiency.

Phineas did not plan to take divination as an elective although he knew some of his peers did. He simply did not see why he should take on such an unnecessary elective when he could use his free time pursuing ancient knowledge. Coincidentally it seemed like the same time her started thinking of some of his peers who took divination, two entered the Great Hall, Marie McKay and Farrah Ellington to be exact, and as they approached, it became clear they had some big news to share.

“You will not believe what me, Enfys, and Farrah heard in the divination classroom.” Marie eagerly informed the group.

Phineas had to admit that despite not enjoying divination, he was intrigued, “What did you hear?”

“Me and Marie stayed behind to ask Professor Onai some of our curiosities about divination. Then she suddenly gave the most captivating prophecy that out ranked any I have read about before” Farrah explained before taking a few moments to think before reciting the prophecy, “I believe it was ‘A presumably everlasting curse shall become no more… As two souls will venture on the thousandth year… Born of the same day but one shall come ten years before… And with a balanced ritual, will cease the voices whispering in ears…’”

“Fascinating.” Sebastian breathed with widened eyes. “Speaking of which, where is Enfys?”

“Well, she was coming to meet up with us after our divination class, and I suppose she got bored with waiting so she came in just seconds before Professor Onai gave the prophecy.” Marie explained rather than giving a usual suspicious or sarcastic remark to Sebastian, “After we left we noticed she seemed strangely quiet and uncomfortable. Although she brushed off our concerns before deciding to go on her own rather than doing our usual plans.” She then glanced at Farrah and then back at him and the others, “We are worried Enfys knows something about what this prophecy means and is going to get herself hurt.”

“You must remember that most prophecies proceed the majority of the events they discuss, including the births of some of the people they refer to.” Ominis bluntly reminded them, “And while your concern is admirable, prophecies are cloudy and murky with no sense of reason

“Ominis does have a point.” Phineas agreed, “Plus prophecies are just a bunch of riddles and riddles are nothing but rubbish.”

Georgiana suddenly slammed her book shut in a manner that startled Phineas and made him flinch, “You insensitive idiot!” She exclaimed.

“What did I do now?!” Phineas snapped back, the way Georgiana always found something to be mad with him about ever since he made a statement about wandless magic which she was passionately pursuing.

“You are always like this.” Georgiana complained, “Saying things with little thought.”

“Give him a break Wotton.” Sebastian smoothly intervened, “Riddles are hardly a necessity for non Ravenclaws so it would make sense for them to view them as nothing more than rubbish.”

“Did you consider checking in with Enfys?” Basil calmly asked to ease the growing tension.

“No.” Farrah informed her brother, “But after we expressed our fascination with Professor Onai’s words she seemed to be even more cross with us. And I’m sure she will act the same if we ask her now.”

“I can go talk with her.” Zsuzsi offered, standing up become another word was said. “She might open up to me since I was not present.”

“You are welcome to give it a try.” Marie agreed, “Thank you.”

“Not a problem.” Zsuzsi nodded before making a swift exit out of the Great Hall

Imelda folded her arms bored, “I still do not see what is so interesting about this prophecy when you focus on present events like quidditch.”

“You do know quidditch is cancelled?” Grace softly reminded her.

“You can never be too prepared.” Imelda glared daggers.

“Could you imagine.” Marie spoke ignoring Imelda’s frustration and Grace’s whimsical responses, “Perhaps there was a reason me, Farrah, and Enfys were in the room when Professor Onai made that prophecy.”

“I suppose it could relate to someone you know.” Natty admitted, “My mother’s prophecies typically do not refer to complete strangers. Although I will say, this one sounds like it’s subjects will be people we have yet to encounter.”

“Perhaps.” Farrah admitted, “But won’t it be fascinating if even one of us gets to figure that out.”

“Wait.” Phineas suddenly turned to Farrah, “Did you say something about the prophecy relating to a millennium?”

“Yes.” Farrah recalled, “I think it was something about the thousandth year, but that could technically be any year as long as it was one thousand years after it’s designated start date.”

“What are you thinking?” Marie curiously inquired.

“Hear me out.” Phineas requested of his peers, “But what if this prophecy is referring to some sort of ancient magic. Many of the runes I have studied date to times centuries ago at the earliest so a millennium ago would not be out of possibility.”

Georgiana simply raised an eyebrow, “Do you have to connect everything you hear to your researches? Just a second ago you were calling divination and riddles rubbish you know.”

“This is for the greater good Georgie.” Phineas assured her. “And I never said anything about solving riddles, that’s the real headache after all.” In fact, he knew full well that if he was sorted into Ravenclaw, he would simply have to camp out by the entrance to the dormitory until someone could answer the riddle of the door knocker for him or open the door from the inside. And a sneaky suspicion of his made him feel like this trait had occurred before and would only happen again.

“Do not call me Georgie.” She growled with gritted teeth and a twitching eye yet Phineas barely noticed her fury.

Basil somehow managed to calm her by placing a hand on her shoulder, “Let’s not murder anyone today.”

Georgiana huffed, “You know I would not waste my time on someone like Hearst.”

“I know.” Basil chuckled with a faint redness in his cheeks.

“Well I think it’s a thrilling proposition.” Sebastian’s eyes glimmered with fascination, “You have to tell Professor Fig about your thoughts.”

“I will.” Phineas promised. “So many secrets of the past are yet to be discovered, and perhaps my talents can help us discover them.”

“In your dreams.” Georgiana laughed before giving him a gentle warning, “Don’t get too cocky Hearst.”

Introducing Gwendolyn Zhou

[catohphm]

Danny's mum's family knows the Pinch-Smedleys of Bath, Somerset. He and his family live in Exeter, Devon. Devon and Somerset are counties in England that neighbor each other, sharing a border. The two families wouldn't be far from each other, and I can at least see Grace having heard of Danny before they start their first year. They may have even met in the year he spent in England before they started Hogwarts, as Danny's mum and her family would've introduced the kids.

Another Commission of my girlies! This was a dream commission of mine at the time I got it, and @cresmoons was an absolute angel to take this on for me! It is still one of my favorite pieces of them together.

My girlies hang out at the docks together, a lot. Mostly at sunrise too, as all my girlies are all morning people. Grace reads her morning Daily Prophet and eats her morning fruit. Aster sits with Grace and drinks tea. Nerida speaks with the mermaids and enjoys the sunrise (as she usually does). This commission just captures a moment where someone decided to crash their beautiful morning routine. 🤭
