#Holyhead

[ravenclawcumlaude]

Working on this all day and still need to add color. Created by me in Procreate. Headcanon below.

This is the original photo spread before Harry had it changed.

*****

Headcanon: Ginny was given a full spread in Seeker Weekly after she started playing for the Holyhead Harpies as their new Chaser. She knew the photographer was at practice to capture some candid photos but she didn’t know images of her in her sports bra would end up published. When she asked for a magical retraction of the photos, she was told “Sorry sweetheart, sex sells.” She knew she couldn’t avoid Harry seeing the article. Not only had he been reading the publication cover to cover every week for years, he knew about the write up and the photo spread and was so excited for her. He’d planned to frame it. Now she couldn’t stand the idea of looking at herself every day, stretching her arms or caught in an awkward stance in her sports bra everyday, hung up on the wall behind glass. Her brothers would see it too! The humiliation. Why couldn’t they have just taken photos of her in her kit, completely covered in her new dragon hide gear? Ginny had felt so cool and grown up at her fitting. A professional Quidditch player! Not that her brothers cared. They weren’t huge Holyhead fans and Ron told her “Well, of course you’d make the all-girls team.” They were keen on getting tickets when she played their favorite teams though. Wankers.

Ginny met Harry for lunch as a planned celebration. He already had a copy of the magazine tucked under his arm. “Harry, please know it wasn’t on purpose. I didn’t know…” “It’s already been taken care of.” He interrupted her. “What? But I already contacted them and-“ “I pulled some strings and asked some favors. Unfortunately they won’t retract the current issues in rotation but they’re doing a re-print to replace them all. They are being pulled from the shelves as we speak.” Ginny was speechless. This must be a “Boy Who Lived” favor. Who knows how many more of those he would get away with. He’d used one…on her. For something he knew she would feel uncomfortable about. Unless it made him uncomfortable too?

“So you saw me in a sports bra and were so disgusted that you called in a favor to have them removed before anyone else could go blind?” She asked cheekily, giving him an appreciative pinch on the arm. “Ow! No! Quite the opposite! I’m trying to save everyone from being blinded by your beauty.” Ginny rolled her eyes. Harry took her by the arm and they walked into the restaurant. “Also,” he said, leaning into her ear and whispering low, “No one gets to see that except me.” Ginny flushed red and flared her green eyes at him, allowing him the possessiveness this one time.

I'm on my way to Holyhead.

And unless there is a priest who is also a musician and flirts with me in both roles without letting me know that he is both people, then I choose violence.

#OTD in 1918 – Seventy-three Sinn Féin prisoners are shipped to Britain, after being arrested on 17 May by police and military authorities.

The arrests caused a public sensation; newspapers were snapped up by those eager for details of what happened. It is understood that twenty-four of the arrests took place in Dublin, the most recent of them involving Maud Gonne MacBride, who was seized while returning from a visit to George Russell. Also in Dublin, the Sinn Féin headquarters on Harcourt Street and the National Aid offices on…

11th June 2023: Holyhead Fish Quay were it was a delight to be serenaded by a Sedge Warbler (this bird in the tenth picture in this set) and watch three Black Gullemots in divine evening sunlight (first two pictures in this set) and bits at the cottage we’re staying in. Other pictures in this set are of: 3, 8 and 9. Views at the fish quay with mist/cloud rolling over distant hills. 4. A gorgeous female Blackbird I got amazing intimate views of in the cottage garden this morning. 5. Geraniums in the garden. 6. Lovely view from the cottage. 7. One of many pretty roses around the cottage gardens I am enjoying seeing. 

Daisy, ragwort, red valerian, Oystercatcher a key bird this holiday so far and Sandwich Terns were other highlights at Holyhead Fish Quay. It was sensational to watch the Black Guillemots, such beautiful and well coloured birds that I adore seeing one in a nest box they have put up for them too which was great to see. A powerful few moments watching them. Also in the cottage garden wildflowers buttercup and speedwell as well as some meadow crane’s-bill were key flowers to see with crowing Rooks and Blackbird singing that I awoke to at one point early this morning, Jackdaw, Dunnocks including possibly young, House Sparrow and young Starlings seen. Strong parts of a brilliant day.

I like to think Ginny had some old Gryffindor clothes from school she would wear to her Holyhead practices even though the red clashed with the yellow and green.

Don't Go Far | The Young Boys from Dublin Who Ran Away to New York

It was August 1985 and two boys from Darndale, Dublin, aged 10 and 13, hop on a DART train for a ride that will take them a few thousand miles beyond their stop. Keith and Noel were friends. They had a knack for bunking off. One day they hopped on a Dart and skipped out to Dún Laoghaire for a laugh. Nothing there but boats and day trippers. So they snuck on a ferry and went to Holyhead. They’d…
