funny childhood memories from my hogwarts uni dr

(for reference i am andromeda and ted's daughter and tonks- who i call dora- is my older sister, and we live in the muggle english countryside!)

---

when i was about 4 and dora was 11, our dad melted crayons and put them in molds and made us crayons in fun shapes cause we both loved drawing/coloring. when he left the room for like 5 minutes she convinced me they were candy and i ate two of them. 🤩

---

dora said she wouldnt miss me the day before she left to uni, and 10 year old me got offended. me and mom and dad decorated the kitchen for her "goodbye party" (it was just us three and her favorite breakfast) the night before. i hung up a banner that said "please go" after they fell asleep cause i was upset so they all woke up to that.

dora acted like she didnt care but mom and dad couldn't get us to let go of each other before she left and we sobbed for a good ten minutes straight.

---

me and dora have a 2-way mirror and she told me about everything her entire time at hogwarts (especially her crush on bill weasley from first to third year).

---

we spent a month and a half every summer with dad's muggle family in ireland. me and dora would spend time with our family swimming at the beaches and riding bikes all around. it was like a month long sleepover.

---

when i was like 4 i performed accidental magic while me and dora were playing tag and i apparated onto the roof. my mom had to get a ladder to retrieve me and i cried the whole time so dora sang chiquitita (horribly, might i add) to try and get me to calm down since it was my favorite song at the time.

---

we have an assortment of animals (a cat, a dog, i have a cat familiar and an owl, and we have cows).

---

we have a greeenhouse and a garden (which is part of why i love herbology.)

---

i already know my boggart is myself without a face because me and nymphadora are both metamorphmaguses and she used to tell me if i changed my features too much then i would forget what i looked like. (i slept in her twin bed with her for a month or two before she was able to convince me it wouldn't happen).

---

most blacks are named after the stars but mom told me she named my sister nymphadora (meaning "gift of the nymphs") because they new she was a metamorphmagus since birth (she started changing feautures as a newborn). but since i didnt start doing it until later, my name was a blend of her sisters names (isa from narcissa and bel from bellatrix).

---

narcissa is my godmother and sirius is my godfather, but because of my parents' life they dont know me and dora exist. my mother tells me and dora stories about her sisters and her cousins. it broke her heart to leave.

---

my dad is half mexican and irish and he taught me and dora spanish.

---

dora used to help me pick outfits and would have me match my hair to it.

I used to joke that the only way Toni made sense in Season 4 was if she was just really stoned the whole time. So, I wrote a ficlet about it. Here you go.

Toni smokes a joint with Nana and they talk about stuff. <3

***

Toni sat in the greenhouse and took another long drag on her joint. She seemed to be smoking more and more often and something about that worried her, but not nearly as much as...other things.

Cheryl had Jason's corpse in the basement.

She was talking to him, reading him the newspaper, and asking him for fashion advice.

"You've never met Jason, have you?"

Toni hit the joint again. Smoking was the least of her worries and besides, anyone would need the break.

The image of Cheryl sewing up her dead brother's belly wouldn't disappear no matter how high Toni was. The smell wouldn't leave her nose, not of the corpse, nor the rat Cheryl had killed, and asked her to dispose of.

They'd laid together in bed that night and Cheryl had kissed her so tenderly.

"Now you know everything. You have all of me, TT."

And wasn't that what Toni wanted? Wasn't that what she'd asked for? She loved Cheryl Blossom and loving her meant...accepting her as she was, right? Was love acceptance or was it protest? What was the 'right thing' to do?

Toni drew her knees into her chest and thought she should cry, but tears just wouldn't come. She considered calling Fangs or Sweet Pea, but what would she even say?

"My girlfriend has lost her mind and has her dead brother in the basement. And oh, yeah, I've lost it too because it's been here for a week and I haven't said a damn word to anyone about it." Toni snapped at the air.

She knew she couldn't tell anyone. Any sane person's response to this would be to have Cheryl committed and Jason returned to his coffin. That, of course, made sense. That was the 'right' thing to do.

Toni took a shuddering breath and hit the joint again. She watched the smoke dissipate into the air.

Right or not, Cheryl would never forgive her. Never. She was already paranoid Toni wasn't on board, which was fair. Who would be?

There was a sound at the door to the greeenhouse. Creaking.

"Antionette?"

"Nana?"

Nana Rose wheeled herself over to the spot Toni was hiding in. Toni didn't have the where withal to even hide the fact that she was smoking.

"You smell of marijuana." Nana said coolly.

"Sorry." Toni sighed.

"You should be." Nana said in that snippy voice of hers, "You know I have rheumatoid."

Toni snorted and offered Nana the joint.

"Thank you, child."

Nana Rose hit the joint and exhaled without a cough. Toni nodded in respect, desperately trying to find the humor in all this. She knew it was there, but the laughter just wouldn't come. She felt dead. That was almost funny.

"You seem troubled." Nana said.

Toni nodded.

"Is this regarding my granddaughter?"

Toni nodded again.

"Well, surely you can work things out."

Toni nodded a third time. Finally, she spoke.

"I hope so."

Nana took another hit and passed the joint back to Toni.

"Take heart. Cheryl loves you." She said.

"I know. I love her too. I just...Nana, I worry about her. Fuck, I worry about myself. Sorry for swearing." Toni said.

Nana waved her off.

"Life doesn't get any easier when you worry about it." She said.

"No, I guess not. I just don't know what to do." Toni whispered.

Nana Rose was an odd woman with an odd sensibility about life. She didn't know the ins and outs of whatever was bothering her granddaughter's little lover, but she'd seen many things in her time. She was also appreciative of the joint. So, she, in her half-blind way, offered the only advice she thought would help.

"If you love her, then keep her close. Hard times come and go, but love is more than enough to see you through it." Nana said.

Toni wanted to believe her. She didn't, but she figured if she smoked a little more, she might.

Later that night...

Cheryl and Toni laid in bed, snuggled up. Cheryl pulled back briefly, nose wrinkled.

"You smell like a skunk."

"It's weed, Cher."

"Oh. Duh." Cheryl said, shaking off her obvious misunderstanding.

Her mind had been so fuzzy lately. Of course the smell was weed. Where would Toni have even encountered a skunk? That made no sense. Really, Cheryl knew she hadn't been making much sense lately, but before she could start spiraling about it, Toni took her hand and kissed it idly. Then she continued.

"Yeah, I was smoking in the greenhouse and Nana hustled a few puffs out of me."

"What?"

"For her rheumatoid." Toni said with a slight affect.

"You smoked weed with my Nana?"

"She snuck up on me and what was I going to say? No?" Toni chuckled.

Cheryl laughed a little too.

"That's so crazy."

It wasn't. Not compared to...other things.

"Yeah." Toni sighed.

"That explains why she asked me for a tin of biscuits earlier." Cheryl remembered.

And something about the image of Nana munching on 'biscuits' made Toni laugh, finally, and once she started, she couldn't stop.

Toni was certain that this was what it felt like to go insane...and yet, when she looked over to Cheryl, who was regarding her with a mixture of gentle concern and amusement, Toni just wanted to kiss her.

"I love you, Cheryl Blossom."

"I love you too, TT."

A trip to Cornwall on winter time

It is January and it's the middle of winter but we are headed to Cornwall to celebrate two birthdays. Ideally, the best time to go to Cornwall is during the summer months because it has lots of beautiful beaches and it being winter, we won't be able to swim. None of us have got licenses so instead we hired someone to drive. It took us more than 6 hours to get there and we arrived at about half past nine in the morning.

We stayed at a castle! Well, used to be a castle but now is a hotel. The Tregenna Castle in St. Ives, Cornwall. Oh, we definitely got wakened up by that view! I can't remember why this was my only decent photo of the place though. After leaving our luggages, we then went back to town to find some place to eat and to start exploring this beautiful city. It wasn't a very sunny morning but it feels good to see the waters and to smell some fresh air.

And then we headed to our first beach -- the Porthmeor Beach. By that time the sun has shown itself and you can really see the blueness of the sky and the waters. We also walked all the way up the hill to see the St. Nicholas Chapel. Definitely a must see as the views were stunning at the top.

Then a quick walk at another beach nearby somewhere in Hayle. It did start to rain and it was getting too cold for all of us to stay by the beach so we headed back to the hotel and called it a day.

The following morning, the weather wasn't still that great so we weren't very excited to go out. We only convinced ourselves to as this was our last day. We stopped over another beach in Carbis Bay after our breakfast. It was nice to see there were other people as brave as us to still go there in such a gloomy and cold weather. We took some photos and then walked back to St Ives where we had something to eat for lunch and did a bit more walking around town.

Day three of our quick holiday and we now have left St. Ives. In the morning we had some breakfast in our hotel and got back in the car on our way to the Land's End. Had a little stopover at Marazion Beach where we get to see St. Michael's Mount. Apparently, when the tide is low, people can walk over the causeway and visit it. We only had a photo from afar as this wasn't exactly part of our itinerary. I can still remember how we struggled to have our photo taken because of how strong the winds were by the beach!

Now, definitely one of the highlights of this trip for me. The Land's End! The westernmost point of the whole of the UK. Beyond it is the Atlantic Ocean. We were so pleased that it was sunny when we got there. We still managed to enjoy it despite the struggle of taking our photos.

And finally, headed home but we had another stop that's not originally on our list -- The Eden Project. These massive igloo shaped domes are in fact greeenhouses where you can see different types of species of plants and animals all over the world. So much to see and we didn't really have enough time. It's amazing how incredibly different the atmosphere and temperature is inside in contrast to when you come out. I don't think I got to take many pictures as we were all definitely worn out.

Looking back, maybe it really isn't the best idea to go to Cornwall at winter time but one good advantage to that is there weren't many tourists and the hotels are not that expensive. This is definitely a good place to go back to especially on the summer months.

All photos taken with iPhone (January 2019).

in hannah's old home she was a hidden fae because they were rare and the place was cunning with secrets with such high pay, she basically just hid away but she was afraid but she got close to a woman who was kind to her even after finding out about her true self but one day the father follows the woman to hannah and they basically hunt them until their cornered. so hannah is just there scared so she hugs the woman tightly as she stands infront protecting her until, flowers burst out of here turning her into a human greeenhouse. hannah had never grown flowers until then and was afraid- she begged for someone to help her but they all just wanted her dead causing her to use it again to get free then run off to the dsmp, afraid.

she's scared of holding tina because her powers are all weird because of the egg, she keeps just resting her head when tina hugs her but tina tries for her to get to hold her but she's scared of hurting her. one day she tries it and just straight up panics seeing a flower grow in her hair but tina comforts her feeling bad like she pushed her.
