#Reiky de Valk

[writtenicarus]

a serious post for the marauders fandom - please reblog, share etc.

hello marauders fandom! it has come to my attention that there is something this fandom seriously needs to address and i think im going to have to be the one to do it. PLEASE stop using Reiky De Valk as your james fancast. you may be asking me why em? why are you so angered? Reiky took his own life on september 24th, 2023. and whilst yes of course it is necessary to remember him in his work in the film industry and not how he passed - it is incredibly disrespectful to address him as james or fabricate something he was not. he was a brilliant, talented and amazing man. he was not james potter.

alongside this, many people claim to headcanon james as desi whilst using Reiky. Reiky was not desi, he was vietnamese, dutch and somalian. notice how he's a real person? he had passions, talents and loved ones. his funeral was one of the saddest things i ever watched. and unlike the majority, i loved him for who he was and not what he brought to us. i watched the funeral, and i think of him.

and yet some of you, i bet, did not even know this.

i have seen people become incredibly rude and ignorant when i have informed them of this, but it is something i just cannot stand for.

Reiky deserves to be remembered for who he was. not who we made him.

A/N: I've been reading Harry Potter x reader these past few days and it's making me wanna make a short fic about him. Note that my Harry James Potter face claims will always be Reiky De Valk because that's what I imagine him as, no hate to Daniel Radcliffe though!

A POTTER LOVES HARD — harry james potter.

note: I do not own harry potter in whatever ways! Face claim for my version of Harry Potter will always be Reiky De Valk here in my account, feel free to imagine as someone else though!

warnings!: mentions of death, obsession and some more parts filled with a yandere-ish(?) harry potter. I just love Dark!Harry aus!

The thing about Potters is that when they love, they love hard.

You see, Charles Potter fell in love with a Black, Dorea Black to be exact. Their love was something no one had expected for both sacred families. It is far from pure but it is so good that both families had no choice but to accept it. A love built from obsession. An obsession that goes both ways, perhaps that's why they couldn't break them from each other. Because like the Potters, when a Black loves, they will do anything to keep their significant other, hence the obsession.

Black Madness is what they call them. Though unlike the other Black's, who used that madness for the belief of saving purebloods through inbreeding, Dorea used that madness for her love. Her soulmate. An example that Andromeda Tonks neé Black used when she married her muggleborn husband, Ted Tonks.

Then came in Fleamont Potter, the son of the famed Potter-Black couple. When he loved, he loved like the hardness of the stone Obsidian. He was stubborn and reckless but when he loved, he made sure to get it in the end no matter how long. That is when Fleamont and Euphemia came together. Their love was made from stubbornness, the opposite of his parent's.

Although there was the obsession that his parents had for each other, that fueled the stubbornness in Fleamont. Both had that trait and you know what they say, having a match is made in heaven. That was what it felt like for them. Both had so many similarities that were used in a different way, yet it was perfect for the both of them and that was how their love goes beyond. Just like Charles and Dorea.

Next came James Potter, the son of the dedicated couple. He was a young man who loved from afar, but it was just as hard as the previous Potters. James had his father's stubbornness as well as his grandfather's obsessive trait. He was obsessed with Lily Evans, a ginger haired young woman who was kind and sweet as well as smart and dedicated to her passions.

He chose to show that obsession with his stubbornness to have the young woman in his arms by publicly courting her. His love was made from infatuation. He was infatuated with everything he saw on Lily the moment he laid his eyes on her. It was a dangerous trait, especially when it is mixed with the type of love the previous Potters had. What he didn't know before was that Lily Evans was the same.

She would never admit it but she was just as infatuated to him just as he was to her. This showed when her eyes constantly moved towards his figure whenever he came in the room, how she always kept his letter underneath her bed in a small box. It showed when she smiles when she sees him so happy whenever he had done something he wanted and accomplished and it also showed whenever he had done something for her without her asking for it. The flush of her cheeks said so.

Then came Harry James Potter. Oh how dangerous his love was.

The way he loved was dangerous. The Black Madness never skips the members of the family, that's why whenever a Potter loves, it's hard and dangerous. It was just never showed much in the surface, but boy oh boy did it show when Harry loved.

Harry loved in a twisted way, it was dark and intense but somehow it was pure, in some sense.

It was pure because Harry grew up never knowing what love was, he never knew the meaning of it, never knew what the feeling of it was, until he met you.

You were like a field filled with different types of flowers, breeze flowing through his hair like you were caressing it, air so fresh he thought he was tainting it, the warmth you oozed was something he never felt before and for that his love for you was pure.

But for others, it is not.

But it's not like any of you cared, now is it?

Just like his, you loved him hard. It was maddening on how you would keep giving him a new reason to love you and keep you forever in his arms away from everyone else because you love him.

Sickening.

But it takes one wicked to love another.

When a Potter loves, they love hard, but that does not mean it does not go both ways.

This was something Minerva "Minnie" McGonagall has noticed throughout her years in Hogwarts. Everytime a Potter fell in love, the love in question would reciprocate that feeling with the same intensity albeit different in ways.

Just like when she was peers with Charles and Dorea Potter. She noticed they type of love the male Potter had towards the female Potter, it was filled with obsession towards one another and she saw that Dorea reciprocated that obsession through getting every thing that reminded her of Charles Potter, while said Potter showed that obsession through taking every bit of her presence through moving pictures as well as buying things that she liked. He was obsessed with her whole being as she is to him.

She noticed a different type of love when she became a professor with Fleamont Potter, the son of the obsessive couple she was peers with. Fleamont's love towards Euphemia was stubborn. The type of love that he showed towards the young lady through the excessive courting to which the young lady reciprocated. Euphemia was competitive, so she courted the male Potter with same stubbornness. That was their love.

The next was the couple's son, James Potter. She saw the love was fueled with infatuation. James used his father's and grandfather's techniques to courting Lily Evans. While she rejected him multiple times before sixth year, she showed that reciprocation subtly but just as hard to James. Differences aside, Minerva saw that whenever a Potter loves hard, the significant other always loves just as hard. It was like a blessing disguised as a curse or was it the other way?

So when she saw how Harry loved you, she knew that no matter how hard people will try to separate you both, it'll only make you both yearn for each other more. That is not what she wanted, as she had seen what separation does to the Potters and their significant other.

She almost saw murder right before her eyes.

That's why when a Potter loves, they love hard.

And it was true as Harry Potter stood over a bloodied limp body on the ground with his fists tightened in a clench. Panting heavily as rage waved over his shoulder. He was pissed off, feral even.

Minerva observed the scene with wide eyes as disbelief was visible in her posture. When she said she almost saw murder when a Potter was separated from their love, she didn't mean this. Because when Charles was separated from Dorea by the Blacks, he went feral, he planned a massacre but it was not executed, thankfully. But Harry Potter, oh this powerful male.

He had just committed something the previous Potters didn't do due to their love stopping them, but this time Harry was not stopped. Why? Because his love was in the Hospital Ward of Hogwarts, bloodied and wounded deep because of the person who was now beneath Harry Potter, limp and lifeless.

The Boy-who-lived just committed murder in front of everyone in the Hallway.

It was sickening.

Because when a Potter loves, they love hard.

And Harry's love was dangerous.
