Holland Taylor in Legally Blonde is American Minerva McGonagall.

Change my mind.

[katherinewinchester13]

Quick, quick

Tell me something awful

Like you are a poet

Trapped inside the body of a finance guy

Tell me all your secrets

All you'll ever be is

My eternal consolation prize

You see I was a debutant

In another life, but

Now I seem to be scared to go outside

If comfort is a construct

I don't believe in good luck

Now that I know what's what

I hate it here so I will go to

Secret gardens in my mind

People need a key to get to

The only one is mine

I read about it in a book when I was a precocious child

No mid-sized city hopes and small-town fears

I'm there most of the year 'cause I hate it here

I hate it here

DESCRIPTION

What would have happened if Harry had gotten the diary Horcrux instead of Ginny?

Harry is confused about many things. Why won't Dumbledore let him stay at Hogwarts for the summer instead of go back to the Dursleys? Why won't Ginny leave him alone, even after he tells her he's gay? Why do Ron and Hermione keep meeting with Dumbledore and not telling him about it?

With the help of his new friend, Tom Riddle, Harry answers these questions and more....

What are Old People Names from other languages?

Like I know in English there aren't many young people named Carl, Howard, Minerva, Agnes, Matilda, Beatrice, Pearl, Violet, Viola, Alvin, Albert, or Earnest (at leat not in Canada) but I've come to the realization that I don't know ANY non-english old people names

Alternatively, YOUNG people names- Blaze, Hunter, Jackon, Savannah, Tanner, Taylor, Mackenzie, Ocean, River, FTeegan, and Zach

And what makes names fall in and out of style???

Marauders high school musical au?? 👀

[fatherfigurefusion]

@wondererryn's concept of American-ized names for the Project SEKAI characters inspired this.

I mostly stuck to similar-sounding or thematic American names for the first names, and used surnames with similar meanings or themes.

Names beneath the cut (in case you can't read the tier list):

Leo/Need: Melody Sterling, Skye Griffin, Carolina "Carol" Lunas (Honami is now Latina), Siobhan Sonnenberg

More More Jump!: Minerva "Minnie" Fiore, Harriet Blumenthal, Allison "Ally" Pitts, Shirley Sonnenberg

Vivid Bad Squad: Cosette Bean, Anne Whitestone, Andrew "Drew" Shakhar (the Shinonomes are now Jewish), Troy Galanis (the Aoyagis are of Greek descent)

Wonderlands X Showtime: Solomon Griffin, Emilia "Emmy" Wondervogel, Callie Burr (from "Excalibur", as a parallel to "Kusanagi), Louis "Louie" Godwin

Nightcord at 25:00: Kaitlyn Nightingale (to facilitate the "K" nickname), Jane Morgenstern (as a homage to "Jane Doe", or an unknown body), Artemis Shakhar (to match the art theme of the Shakhars), Taylor Light (a pun of sorts on "twilight")

Week 1 Recap

The Strutting Slut Fest is a prompt-based fest run by The Strutting Stag pairing James Potter with at least two characters.

Gorgeous (fic, rated M) by melissamwrites Regulus Black/Sirius Black/Remus Lupin/James Potter

Song title is a reference to a Taylor Swift song about James being so gorgeous that he sets off this whole chain of events! Written for Slut fest on the Strutting Stag server. Thanks to @goldenbi for the prompt: James accidentally sends a nude to a group chat.

Promiscuous Boy (fic, rated E) by Samynnad102687 Regulus Black/James Potter

James got dumped in secondary school by his boyfriend of two years. They claimed that he wasn’t faithful and kept flirting with everybody he met. James was pissed since he had never strayed. If they wanted to say that James was sleeping around, he figured he might as well make it true. James gained a reputation after that, one that he had no intention of challenging until he met somebody who gave him a reason to.

everybody wants a taste (fic, rated T) by emlovessid Regulus Black/James Potter

He’s sure James doesn’t want to watch him kiss someone else any more than he wants to watch James kiss someone else. But unless they confess that they’ve been shagging behind everyone’s backs for the last two months, there isn’t really any excuse they can give without their friends absolutely hounding them for answers.

Professor (fic, rated E) by L0TUSEATER Lily Evans/Minerva McGonagall/James Potter

James goes into heat in McGonagall’s office and instead of going home with Lily he takes both their knots.

[softguarnere]

Love making OC playlists for my own enjoyment but then getting super subconscious about the amount of songs by certain artists I put on there. It's simply not my fault that Taylor Swift clearly wrote the entirety of Reputation about the Webster x Minerva x Nixon situationship and the whole of The Tortured Poems Department about Monica x Tony. I'm not in charge here

BACKGROUND.

quick facts :

can perform nonverbal magic, and is working towards learning wandless magic as well

has perfected her felix felicis potion

orphan

early history :

the only child born to isla and malcolm bones, susan was named for her aunt amelia's middle name. a rather powerful and respected family in the wizarding community, it's no shock that they were sought after by death eaters during the first wizarding world war. most of the family wouldn't survive.

first year :

susan bones started her education at hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry the same year as the famous harry potter. she shared a boat with seamus finnigan and hermione granger, and was the third student to be called upon by minerva mcgonagall for the sorting ceremony. there was an indescribable joy at being sorted into hufflepuff, the very house that her parents had shared before falling in love. the house that most of her family had called home while at hogwarts. during her first year, susan would learn all about the basics of magic and spell performance, like her other classmates. she was also present at the end-of-term feast during which gryffindor won the house cup breaking slytherin's seven year winning streak.

second year :

during her second year, susan seemed to develop a crush on the then defence against the dark arts professor, gilderoy lockhart, which caused her to be off-task daydreaming during his lessons. she participated in the duelling club, as a precaution due to the attacks that occurred after the chamber of secrets had been opened. the fact that lockhart oversaw this club was merely an added benefit, as was the discovery of a talent for duelling magic. if only she’d known how much that skill would come in handy in later years.

year two wasn’t all clubs and cute professors. when her friends were all petrified by the unknown creature (now known to be a basilisk) roaming the school, fear seemed hard to shake. for someone who had already faced so much loss, the thought that her friends’ lives were in peril was a hard one to shake. to say that she was filled with a sense of relief when professor sprout and madam pomfrey were able to cure the petrified students would be an understatement.

third year :

idk she was scared of sirius black like everyone else that year. i'll flesh this year out later maybe. maybe not. we'll see.

fourth year :

during susan's fourth year hogwarts held the triwizard tournament and hufflepuff's cedric diggory was one of the triwizard champions. she supported cedric in favor of harry, as he was in her house and her best friends were also strong supporters of him.

cedric's death at the end of the triwizard tournament left susan with a lot of questions, though of one thing she was certain. harry potter was no liar. voldemort was back, and it was only a matter of time before the rest of the wizarding world began to suspect the same.

summer before fifth year :

it was in late june that the death eaters who murdered susan’s uncle edgar and his family escaped from azkaban. news that immediately set the bones family on high alert, and for good reason. mid july saw an attack on the bones household, with susan left the only survivor. she’d credit it to pure luck and her mother’s forethought, if you could even get her to speak on the incident. 

her father’s shout from the kitchen had given enough warning for susan to barricade herself into her bedroom. unfortunately there was already a death eater waiting for the girl. fortunately he hadn’t been expecting her to throw a punch instead of a hex. it was only that split second of shock that allowed her to grab for the portkey her mother had placed on her nightstand only a few weeks earlier. an emergency escape hatch of sorts. and it worked. susan successfully escaped to an alley behind the leaky cauldron. she entered and gave a fake name to tom, the pub’s owner, and asked him to send for amelia bones. it was only when her aunt arrived, having recognized the fake name as a previously agreed upon safety code for her niece, that susan learned that neither of her parents had been so lucky as she’d been. 

the following days saw her settling into a spare bedroom at her aunt’s home, her new home, and struggling to accept her new reality. still weeks later, the grief at her parents’ death feels as fresh as it was standing in the leaky cauldron. she only hopes this school year proves to be the distraction she so desperately craves.
