#Severus Snape Harry Potter and the annoying Gryffindors

[depressed-sugar-baby]

Important!!

I was wondering should I make it so they have more children than just harry? Like in Harry's timeline sev is either pregnant with teddy or he just had teddy? If some of you have played Hogwarts mystery then you about Chiara should she be one of their kids? Id make her the eldest because Hogwarts mystery timeline is during Harry's baby years. She would also be sev and moony's bio baby like how harry is sev and James's bio baby but then I think what about Sirius? He didn't have any children that I could make his and sev's so should I keep the Hogwarts mystery theme going and make Merula their child? Or do 'jacobs sibling' and have a y/n child? Harry is going to be the main child because he's the only one that traveled back in time, if I do that they'll have 4 kids Chiara (sev and moony's), Merula or y/n (sev and Sirius') (they'd probably be a year apart or maybe twins) harry (sev and James') and than teddy (sev and Remus') . Thoughts? I was thinking about it because I while writing,I thought about harry just randomly saying "*random sibling* would like this or they like that" and shocking them that they had more then just harry and so each have their own kid with sev (not that they love the other ones any less) let me know what you all think!

If you were asked in school when was the first time you had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting the eldest Black brother, you probably would have told them your first year when you met with James to be sorted into your houses. 

The Grand hall was magnificent, it looked as amazing as you had always guessed, with so many faces you had never seen before, and such a warm feeling that came with it. You looked around, eyes following the floating candles that cut down the middle aisle and tried to stop you before you could reach James.

You were bouncing on your heels, holding James’s arm, and swaying. Sirius didn't say anything to you, but he stared. Stared the whole time James introduced you to Peter and Remus, telling you the story of how they met, luggage mixed up after several of the suitcases on the platform had been knocked over.

You and Lily shared a look and amused snickers at that.

When James got to Sirius, you two shared a look but nothing else. There was a tension in the air, as you twisted your lips into a skilled and annoyed pout that James knew very well. Sirius just scoffed and looked away from you, stepping closer to James.

You gave a small huff, it felt like you were watching a dog lay claim on their favorite human. You grabbed James’ arm tighter and Sirius in turn wrapped his arm around his shoulder. You glared at Sirius while James stood there with a confused but content look. 

“James Potter.” Professor McGonagall called to the front, and he wiggled himself out of your grasp, You and Sirius still remained tense. You looked up at James with a hopeful smile, and your jaw dropped as the hat announced ‘Gryffindor!’ and the kids adorn in red cheered.

You also cheered. Then when Lily was called, you gave her a thumbs up as she glanced at you. With your reassurance, she walked forward, nose upward and full of confidence. The hat hardly touched her head before it boomed out the same house. You lit up as Lily looked over to Snape. The boy slowly nodded, as she hurried off to the red table. 

“Severus Snape!” She called forward and the boy climbed the steps. He sat down and his face twisted with determination, before the hat gave a scoff. “You can't just ask for a house, boy! There is more to it than that!” 

Snape's face fell but his eyes remained closed. 

“Slytherin!” The house called and you gave a worried look at how distressed that seemed to make him. You heard a pompous laugh beside you, turning to look at the gray eyes of Sirius Black. 

“Don't be cruel.” You hissed at him and he simply stuck his tongue out at you. You gave a gasp and before you could retaliate, the assistant headmistress called you forward.

At the sound of your last name, a few students looked at you wide eyed. Ignoring the attention had become a useful skill you picked up on when you were younger. You walked up and sat on the stool. Closing your eyes tight, you listened. Praying for Gryffindor. The hat gave the best impression of rolling his eyes. “Hm.. A {L/N}, you have some legacy here. Brave, wise for such a young child. Loyal and ambitious.. Oh, very ambitious.” He muttered and you twisted your face. “You, small child, are an interesting one. Mind is nothing like your father’s years ago..”

You slowly peaked your eyes open, looking over at the red table and smiling as James and Lily met your gaze. By chance, you glanced over at the Slytherin table, eyes locking on Snape who seemed so awkward and out of place, People talking to him and he didn't respond, staring at Lily. You frowned and the hat seemed to notice something in you shift, before the rim curled and he bellowed. “Slytherin!”

Your face fell and your jaw unclenched in shock. Standing up you walked over to the Slytherin table, ignoring people as they tried to call out to you sitting by Snape. He snapped his head up as if he was about to snap at you, before he paused. You both held a look at each other before he huffed and laid his head on the desk. You were content with the silence.

You always told everyone that was the day you were cursed with the parasitic knowledge of Sirius Black. For the trained eye, however, like Lily Evan’s, you two clearly knew each other before that. 

“So.” Lily mused as she laid in your bed, facing the canopy above her, and legs curled up. One thing you loved about being Prefects, was your dorms were not but a few yards away from each other. All it took was a silencing charm and James’s cloak to get you and the girls together.

Mary was on the floor facing your mirror, using the back end of your comb to line up her eyeliner while Marlene, her usual make up partner, was distracted.

Dorcus, your fellow Slytherin Prefect, was sitting on your bed by Lily, looking down at Marlene who was laying her head on her lap and biting her lip. Trying to flirt with the usually stoic girl. You raised your eyebrows in surprise when Dorcas actually smiled back. James is going to owe you so much money.

“So?” You asked, sitting on your desk and reordering your record collection Lily had slowly smuggled in for you over the years. As it was Lily’s gifts, it mostly consisted of ABBA and Queen, but all songs you adored.

“Well, I’ve been meaning to ask you, when did you meet Sirius?” Lily asked and your face twisted up in confusion. “What?”

“Don't ‘what’ me, there is clearly history there even before you met in the first year. There is so much hate in that boy's heart for you it's unrivaled. I sometimes wonder if James is the only thing keeping you away from meeting the other end of his wand.”

You gave a bitter laugh and rolled your eyes. “As a training Auror,” The girls collectively groaned and you giggled. “I could totally land him on his arse, thank you very much.”

“You're deflecting.” Mary sang from her seat on the floor and closed her makeup, turning to face you four. You bit your cheek as Marlene snickered. “And clearly there is something going on in that pretty head of yours.”

“I have to agree.” Dorcas called over and turned to face you, hands still on Marlene’s face. The glossy almost transparent lipstick stains all over Marlene’s face did NOT go unnoticed by you. You contemplated honesty, biting your cheek before you groaned.

“It's.. It's stupid, really. I know why he hates me, and it's not complete rubbish.” You sighed and set one of the records on to play with a wave of your wand. “He is just a child. Still thinks he's the only one suffering regardless of the situation. Narcissistic and cruel.”

The room was quiet for a moment before Lily gestured you over to your satin green sheets. You sat down and turned to look at her, as she squashed your cheeks together and Mary, feeling left out, hurried over to practically shove you across the bed. You guys fell down, head to head, looking up at the ceiling, and with another glance at Lily you caved. “Well, I may have met him one other time.”  

“Where?” Mary prodded as she shifted to her stomach. 

“At our engagement party?” You winced out as you cautiously looked at the girls who were all giving you serious looks of appalled shock. 

“You're what!?” Lily finally shouted. 

~~~

You couldn't have been more than five, maybe six, when you were told by your father that you were engaged. You were sitting in your room, having just finished your cleaning and making sure there were no blemishes to be seen. Your father and mother came in for their nightly overlook. 

You stood in the center of the room, head held up, back straight, and your nose turned so you looked like a presentable young lady. Your hands clasped behind your back as your father walked around you and ran his finger along one of the tops of your bookshelf. 

“We are going to the Blacks tomorrow, do you understand?” Your mother’s piercing bird-like voice filled the quiet dark room. “The house elf will dress you, but after your next birthday we expect you to be able to do it yourself. Understand?”

“Yes mother.” You mumbled. You hated the Blacks’, Mrs. Black was always so.. cruel. You couldn't imagine her home would be much better. 

“What is the occasion, mother?” You asked in a faint voice.

Your father went to stand by her and began to lead her out. “Your engagement to Sirius Black, her oldest son.”

You had to fight to keep your expression even. Oh.

“You will be on your best behavior, understand?” 

“Yes sir.”

As promised, mid afternoon next day, you were dressed in a complicated black dress, with frills and feathers to match the Black’s matriarch. You stood at the door, hands in front of you as you presented your full self, as your father always said. You had to fight back the tears as the door opened and it revealed a rather cruel looking house elf.

“{L/N}s, we welcome you to the noble house of Black.” He drew in a slimy way. You pouted and followed him in, your parents following close behind. Your father took off his coat as Kreacher took off your mothers, then yours. 

The first thing you noticed when you entered the house was the smell. It was awful. It was a burning rotten stench, like when your father would come back from his meetings with the dark lord. You would speak more on it if you knew more than the hushed whispers between him and your mother. Everything around you was so dreary, so depressing. All black and dark colors, it made you feel smaller,

You were so wrapped up in your thoughts, you didn't notice as the Black family made themselves visible at the entrance of a rather large ballroom. 

“Mr. and Mrs. {L/N}, how lovely to see you.” Mrs. Black called out to the three of you dripping in fake honey. Looking at your parents, your mother nudges you with her plastic smile, moving you both forward. “Mrs. Black, lovely to see you again.”

Their little interaction fell on deaf ears as you looked at the boys across from you. The taller one, who you assumed to be Sirius, was standing in front of a shorter boy, Regulus. The younger black was clinging to his brothers tailcoat and half behind him

Sirius was glaring at you, as much as a seven year old could glare. The look made you slowly lower your gaze down to your feet. What have you done? Only two minutes in and your future husband already seemed to hate your guts.

You winced as your father gave you a firm pat to the back of your head when he noticed your head down. You quickly raised it and looked towards the boys. Slowly, you offered your hand. “{Y-Y/N} {L/N}. It's a pleasure to meet you. You waited for Sirius to offer his hand in return, but it never happened,

Your father sent Walaburga a look, and she twisted her lip and smacked Sirius rather hard, and the boy hissed out in pain, rubbing the spot before he took and shook your hand.

That night was spent mostly clinging to your mothers leg as Sirius avoided you. Getting congratulations and proud looks from people you didn't know, and frankly, didn't want to know. Even Beatrix, Narcissa, and Andromeda Black came to congratulate you. Though, the eldest, Andromeda seemed more sympathetic than actually happy for you. The other two didn't have a truly readable look, but Narcissa kept her eye on you for the rest of the party.

When it was time to go, you were at the door waiting for a proper farewell from Sirius, but even at his mothers insistence, he refused to meet your eyes. You didn't really want this to work, you didn't want to marry someone as mean as Sirius. All you could think was that you wanted to see James and hide away at the Potters. They were the only truly comforting family you knew.

~~

“He just kind of.. Hated me ever since. As a kid, I think I can see it. He has associated me with his family since that night. I don't know much about them, but I could make a few guesses.” You rattled on and sniffed, you didn't even notice you began to cry until Lily ran her thumbs across your cheeks. You puffed up your bottom lip and Lily gave a faint laugh at that. 

“Why didn't you tell me?” She whispered and you shrugged, moving to sit up. “I don't plan to marry him, you know that. I just have to push it, avoid it until my seventeenth birthday and I have left Hogwarts.” You declared, self assured.

“I will have access to my vault then, and when I move it to my own account I can go back to the Ministry as an Auror, my own person.” You sat up straight as your eyes landed on one of the many books you had read about your hero, Alastor Moody. You scrambled to your feet, past the girls and their sympathetic looks. “I learned not to hold onto it. Sirius will thank me eventually.”

You pulled out a book and flipped a few pages, down to the ‘dedicated to’ page that had Moody’s signature. The only gift your father ever gave you that wasn't about his preset image of your future.  The one thing he ever gifted you that showed you he knew who you were. Even if he seemed to hate it.

Dorcas and Marlene shared a look before Mary laid down flat against the bed with a huff. “I never figured Sirius for that kind of person.” She mumbled into a pillow.

“Really?” You, Lily, Marlene and Dorcas asked in shock, making you guys sputter out a laugh. Easily diffusing the tension of the room.

~~~

It had been a few days now, of you sneaking away from the Weasleys to go and watch Harry simply… live. It was the best feeling, watching him exist in the walls you once called home. It was nostalgic, gave you a bit of pride to watch him make choices you knew James never would, and acted with so much of his mothers patience and bleeding heart.

His friends, Merlin his friends, that Hermione girl behaved so much like Lily you caught yourself doing doubletakes whenever she would say something that sounded a bit too much like the red head. Ron, he was like a balancing act, shy like Peter, but his personality reminded you of his uncles. Particularly like Fabian.

You were quite fond of them, following them around almost everywhere you could. Eventually you cut the visits to every other day, you needed rest at some point. So, here you were, following after Harry with his two friends, listening to their complaints about a rat of some kind. The simple reminder of the animal had you huffing.

Apparently, you were a bit too loud. Harry, who was behind his friends, turned his head to look into the forest. He spotted you again, and you simply stared. This time, he smiled at you, and you gave a happy shrill. Your entire body wiggling, from your nose to the tip of your tail. He gave a laugh, and mumbled. “Hello again.”

“What was that?” Ron shouted from down the trail, and Harry only looked away for a moment, but when he looked back, you were gone. He frowned a bit before he hurried down the trail to catch up with his friends.

You followed them all the way down to the river, your ears rotating around as you watched them meet with Hagrid. You tilted your head, curious about the impromptu meeting. You remembered Hagrid vaguely, he was a charming man, but you didn’t have much time to spend with teachers casually. Like… well, a normal student. Hagrid was probably the only exception to this in your eyes. You admired the guy, but he was basically an overgrown child. Didn’t make him any less appealing.

You slipped past a few sticks and twigs to keep your volume to a minimum. That was, until you heard a few snaps behind you. You quickly turned to hide under a bush. You had run into too many wolves and other creatures who were looking to make a meal of you to take any chance. 

Your thoughts were derailed when you saw it, however. A muggle dog, larger than average, black and matted, he looked like a stray riddled with mange. You lowered yourself closer to the earth, but then, something clicked. No… truly? That silky fur you knew from his constant pampering, his full coat and frame had been whittled away to nothing, but you knew him. You knew that mutt anywhere.

You took the chance. You ran from cover and bit down on his tail. He gave a yelp and whipped around with a snarl. You held his eyes, it felt like he was moments away from pouncing. You took a shaky breath before you turned sharply and dashed off deeper into the forest. It wasn't long before you heard his heavy footsteps behind you. You ran for a while, until you were positive no one else could see you. You jumped down into a miniature cliff that was once a rushing river that had run dry. The second you jumped down, you transformed back. You raised your wand to the dog before you. 

Sirius, those eyes, they were his. He stared at you, and you returned the blank sentiment. He slowly shifted back and you saw him in all his tortured beauty. 

He didn't look much better than he did as a dog. Hair patchy, you assumed from neglect, He did always have a hair pulling problem when you were younger, you couldn't imagine what that did for him in Azkaban. “{Y/N}...”

Your name sounded broken coming from his lips like that. He walked closer and you stepped back, He didn't relent, walking you straight against the dirt walls that encased you. He only stopped when your wand hit his chest. He looked from your wand, looking up your arm, and to your face. He gave an almost crazed smile. “Scared of me, pretty girl?”

His voice was haunting. It put a weight down your throat, even in this state he had an effect on you that you could never understand. Your hand began to shake, and he took your wrist, lowering it and stepping forward. His dirty hands took your head so gently. You both stared into eachothers eyes and he gave a crazed and desperate laugh. His grip on your cheeks growing harsher. The dirt that was on his palms and under his fingers stained your skin, “Sirius-”

“Again.”

“What?”

“My name, say it again.” 

You stared at him. His voice was so strangled, likely from under use. He wet his lips and you took a shuttered breath.

“Sirius.”

He let out a sound that you were sure only a dog could make. Grinding his teeth, he dug his nails into your cheek and jaw as he forced you to look completely up. Into his eyes. “Where have you been, vixen?”

You raised your hand to grab his wrist in warning, but the crazed man seemed to have come to terms with it. “I have.. Quite the tale for you, Sirius.” You breathed, and he slowly nodded, Hands lowering to your sides and you bit your bottom lip. Looking away from him. Giving him the chance to lean into your ear to speak. “Better make it quick, Vix.”

You almost forgot how to breathe. Struggling to hang onto your anger. This man had gone after Peter alone, told no one, not even thinking about how he was abandoning your godson in the process. Your mind was suddenly fogging once more when his thumbs pushed hard against your waist and his nose found its way to your neck.

You pushed him back just a few inches, turning to face him again, “Let me start from the beginning.”

~~ Harry’s POV~~

He saw the name, he knows he did. Peter Pettigrew. He knew something was off, walking down the hall alone. The steps were getting closer, but the name tag had disappeared. He ran his thumb over the sheet as he stood still in the hall. There was a tense moment, where he was sure Peter was getting closer. He flinched at his own reflection. 

He was going mad, looking at this old parchment. Surely, it was mistaken. He had gone on a wild goose chase this whole time. Oh great, now Snape is coming? “Mischief Managed, Nox”

As if he was just waiting for him to hide, a blinding light took over his peripherals. 

“Potter.” Snape drawls, his lips curled up in a permanent scowl. “And what are you doing, wandering the corridors at night?”

“Uhm,” Harry stated and began to look around for any excuse he could muster. “Uh, sleep walking?”

He cursed himself as it came out as more of a question than a statement.

Snape scoffed. “You are so extraordinarily like your father, strutting around the castle.”

“My father didn't strut.” Harry snapped back and Snape narrowed his eyes at him. “And nor do I. Now, if you would be so kind as to lower your wand from my face.”

Snape lowered his wand and rolled his wrist. “Turn out your pockets.”

Harry sighed and pulled out the parchments and his wand. “Open it, now.”

He thumbed over the paper and unfolded the map. Snape lowered his wand to utter an incantation, before gesturing to the words. “Read it.”

“...” Harry sighed and lifted the page to his face. “Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Vulpes, Padfoot and Prongs offer their compliments to Professor Snape and..”

“Go on.” Snape insisted and Harry glanced up at him before sighing and looking back down.

“And request that he keeps his abnormally large nose out of other people's business.” Harry remarked as he snapped his eyes up to Snapes, looking him dead in his dark pupils.

“Why you insolent little-”

“Professor?” Lupin called down the hall, turning the nearest corner and narrowing in on the two. 

Snape turned sharply and slowly smirked at the fellow professor. “Ah, Lupin. Taking a stroll out in the moonlight are we?”

Lupin resisted the urge to scoff, and looked around him. “Harry? Are you alright?” He called over in a gentle tone. Harry nodded but Snape snapped his hand forward and snatched the parchment from him before he could stop him. 

“That remains to be seen. I have just now confiscated a rather curious artifact.” Snape remarked as he looked it over. Lupin felt his heart fall to his feet. He hadn't seen that map since Finch confiscated it, Lupin quickly recovered,as Snape handed it over.

“I believe this is your area of expertise.”

Lupin looked it over with a firm sigh, threw his nose, rolling his tongue to try and stifle a laugh at the words. “Looks to be a parchment designed to insult whoever reads it. Likely a Zonkos product. Severus, but.” He lifted the paper higher as Snape tried to grab it back. “I will look it over. As you said, it is my area of expertise. Now!”

Lupin turned on his heels and gestured to his side. “Harry, a word of you'd please?”

Harry nodded and quickly passed Snape, head down as if in shame.

Once they made it to the classroom, Harry followed Lupin to his desk. The professor was clearly upset, so Harry stayed quiet. He spoke calmly, but his tone was anything but, like he was holding himself back from rage he didn't recognize.  

“Now I haven't the faintest idea how this map came to be in your possession, I would say I am shocked you didn't hand it in, if I didn't see James doing the same thing. I am, however, incredibly disappointed in this behavior. Did you stop to think of it? For a moment?” Lupin raised his voice steadily before he took a pause and a deep breath, turning to face Harry fully. “That if Sirius Black got his hands on this map, that this would lead straight to you?”

Harry’s eyebrows raised. It wasn't that he was unused to people's rage being directed at him, or their disappointment for that matter. But something about it being Remus looking at him like that, it broke a bit of his heart. He was just so used to Lupin’s warmth. “... No.” He admitted.

“No. Of course not.” Lupin hissed. “I understand the thrill of it all, I was a student in these halls once too, but it is time to stop looking at this like a game. You are in danger Harry. Danger that your father and your mother lost their lives trying to keep you from. Danger that the people dearest to me were killed and maimed to protect you from! And wondering about the castle with a killer on the loose seems to be a pretty poor way to repay them.”

The professor waved the paper around like it had done some horrible offense. He tossed it on his desk with a sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“I don't mean-” Harry tried to explain and Remus didn't want to hear it, raising his hand to tell him to be quiet.

“Didn't mean what? To sneak out? Endanger yourself and in turn, this school?”

“I didn't think it was-” He began in bewilderment and Lupin simply raised his voice.

“Do you know how many people were affected by this war? How many people were on the front lines to ensure your safety?”

“No..”

“Fabian Prewett, do you know that name?” Lupin walked up to a letter that rested on his desk. He flicked it open. Harry frowned, hard.

“No-”

“Molly Weasley’s older brother, dead. Do you know Gideon Prewett?”

“No, I-”

“Fabian's twin brother, he was splinched and lost his left arm, moved to America. Marlene McKinnon?” He prodded. Harry looked down at his shoes. “Dead, death eaters killed her entire family. Dorcus Meadows? Voldemort killed her himself after she snapped and went rogue, looking to avenge Marlene. Mary McDonnell?”

“No-”

“She was killed in her safe house days after your parents death. {Y/N} {L/N}?” His voice cracked at the name.

“Yes, that name I-”

“You don't have a clue about that woman! About your Godmother, because she was killed. Killed trying to protect you and saving lives. All of these people put themselves on the line. Not just for your parents, but for you. For the concept of what we believed was our family. Peter Pettigrew faced Sirius Black for you! And to you that means nothing but for a boy like Peter that meant the world.”

There was a thick and tense silence.”Do you know what that means? Family means we look after eachother. In order to do that, you have to look after yourself first.” He tutted as Harry sniffed and looked away. He hated to be this intense about it, but Harry needed to wake up at some point.

“I will not cover up for you again, Harry. Do you understand me?”

“Yes sir.” He whispered low and Remus huffed. “Go to your dormitory.”

Harry had never run quicker from Remus, before he paused and cleared his throat. “Professor?”

Lupin gave a deep sigh and slowly turned to look up at Harry. “Yes?”

“I think it may be broken. It's uhm.. It’s been showing me Peter Pettigrew.” He spoke carefully and Remus narrowed his eyes. Harry gave an awkward nod, muttering a good night before running off.

Remus was left alone with his thoughts, eyes wandering up to the window behind his desk. He thinned his lips as he let his mind wander next. Those names, Maybe it was the date that led him to be so hard, even close to the full moons he had learned to manage his temper for the most part. The date was getting closer and closer to when he made one of the stupidest mistakes he has made in his life.

~~~

The spring formal, in lue of the triwizard tournament in the winter. He remembered when Lily suggested it to the other prefects then to the professors. They hadn’t held the tournament in years, and the kids were close to their last years at Hogwarts.

He thought it was a cute idea at first, having been one of the many students Lily had referenced to get the whole thing reviewed by the professors. Then, he started getting those bloody questions. It started when you were all sitting together in the library, the boys, you, Lily, and Mary.  

You were talking Mary threw the process of making liquid luck, when a hufflepuff boy walked up to the table. He cleared his throat and looked at you in a way that made Remus want to pull you closer. His lip twitched and the boy didn't even seem to see him there. You two always sat together, no matter where it was. 

You sat up straighter and your knee pulled from his, he almost whined at the loss of your warmth. Merlin, he was a mess. 

“{Y/N} {L/N}?” He called over to you and you looked up at him with your beautiful eyes. He saw the boy take a nervous breath and you sat there so patiently, eyes fluttering. “I was wondering, if you had a date yet? To the Formal, I mean.” 

Your mouth shaped an ‘o’ and you gave him the sweetest look you could, avoiding pity or sympathy. “Sorry hun, you're very cute, but I am actually waiting on someone.” You remarked, Remus glanced at you to see you were already looking at him with this cheeky look. Didn't know if his blood was rushing to his face or leaving it, but he suddenly felt dizzy. You gave a giggle at his look before you turned back to Mary and got back to helping her. The curly haired girl was staring at you with a slack jaw. “Did you really just say that?” She whispered to you before Lily spoke up next. “Did you really just do that?”

He turned to face the boys and they were staring at him with wide and cheeky looks, all but Sirius who seemed annoyed by the whole thing.

“Well, he knows what I want.” You remarked and he just about fainted on the spot.

You damned Vixen.

That's how he got here, sitting in his dorm room with the boys, as they interrogated him.

“You're not going to ask her? The girl you've been mooning over for years says she wants you infront of everyone and you're not going to ask her?” James sounded like Remus had personally offended him.

“First of all, I resent that. Second, it's only been a year.” Remus muttered the last part, remembering the day he fell for you fondly. Waking up to your warmth after one of the worst nights of his life. You had found out about his condition months ago, he had been avoiding you. You always had a playful and flirty friendship. But when he woke up to you in the chair beside him, sound asleep. He thought he could see that for the rest of his life, and he fell even harder when you let out the most embarrassingly loud snore.

“You flirt with her all the time! What’s so unappealing about doing that for an entire night?” Peter, ever bold when it came to you challenged and Remus sighed.

“When the full moon is close, she can't possibly think I'm serious, and! it's hard to think the same of her when she flirts with Lily and Marlene all the same.”

“She does what now-” James sat up straight like a rocket and that made Sirius cackle.

“It's easier when it's not serious. But, a spring formal? That's like.. asking her to be my girlfriend!” Remus declared in offense and Sirius scoffed, looking over his book as Remus struggled.

“Do you not want that?” James asked and Sirius chuckled. “Must have realized how vile she truly is.”

“Watch it Sirius.” Remus huffed before he looked back at James and Peter. “Of bloody course I want that. I just can't have it.”

James gave him a confused look before he groaned. “This shit again-”

“I will ruin her life! She'll be an Auror the second we cross that lake after graduation! Then what will people think? It won't be cute anymore. A werewolf husband can't keep a job, and I can never have kids. That's the one thing she wants the most. A family.” He mumbled and James sighed. Sirius winced and sunk into his bed a bit more as Remus spoke about his betrothed without knowing it.

He was going to tell them, but you had never made it known if you wanted him to share it or not. Not that you willingly interacted with him after how he treated him. Then you started this fling with Reamus. He figured at first it was to make him jealous, and it worked. Though, the way you looked at him was chilling. He quickly realized he had gone too far, but there wasn't much he could do now. So he stayed quiet.

“Do you think maybe you would be enough for her?” Peter offered and James nodded along.

“I think knowing she settled for me would be worse.”

Remus Lupin, despite his best efforts to prove otherwise, was not stupid. He saw the way you looked at him, the tone you took with him and no one else. You were wild. fun, but responsible and respectful. You were the coolest witch he ever met, and when he first said that out loud Lily gushed like a schoolgirl. Well, as a school girl. He knew that the remark in the Library was true,

He wanted to know what loving you meant. The feel of your hand in his. He wanted to know what it was like being your number one, you already had a way of making people seem special, but to be special to you was something he wanted all to himself. He wanted you all to himself. 

He couldn't have that, he couldn't do that to you. To anyone. So, he made a choice that would haunt him for the rest of his life. He would let you go, and let you down easily. Before it got too real.

Remus shoved away the memory as he sighed, pulling open the map and looking it over. “I solemnly swear I am up to no good.” He whispered to it, looking it over with a frown. He curled back the pages, looking over the forest and the names around. It was oddly stimulating, watching the prefects doing their rounds and the occasional professor here and there.

His eyes wandered all over the map, looking to see if Harry was being truthful about it having Peter’s name. He didn't see it, but his nearly dropped the map when he saw his name. Sirius Black.

And he wasn't alone.

Headcanons Timelined

Before The Events Of Harry Potter Series

* Lily once asked Remus out in front of James, just to annoy him. Remus was so shocked, he stood there and didn’t say anything, eventually excusing himself to use the restroom.

* Lily once met Sirius in his Animagus form before she knew their secret. She let him lick her face and played with him for half an hour before an unusually angry James Potter dragged the dog away.

* Harry's first word was 'Pafoo' (Padfoot). He first said this when Sirius unexpectedly entered into the Potter's kitchen. James, Lily and especially Sirius were proud of the 11 month old baby.

* James was secretly one of McGonagall's favorite students. He excelled in Transfiguration, though he didn’t care to hand his homework essays in unless she threatened to take away Quidditch. He was clever and knew the right answers. She was proud of him when they won the Quidditch Cup and when he finally got Lily to say “I do.” She was half rooting for him the whole time.

During Harry Potter Series

* While dating Dean and Michael, Ginny was constantly comparing them to Harry.

* Mrs. Weasley didn't make Harry that first Weasley sweater because she was being nice -- she made it because she was so grateful that Ron, her youngest son who always felt second best to his older brothers, had a best friend all to himself. It wasn't pity or random kindness. She just wanted to find a way to thank the boy who made Ron's letters home such a joy to read.

* During the many dinners spent at Grimmauld Place, Sirius grew to become particularly fond of the Weasley twins. They exchanged countless stories about the pranks they pulled at school, and compared detention records.

* Upon walking down the great hall to be sorted, Neville Longbottom considered asking the Sorting Hat to place him in Gryffindor. He decided not to; and to his complete surprise, he became a lion anyway.

* On May 2nd, 1998 every witch and wizard held a moment of silence for the ones who died during the First and Second Wizarding War. When the respectful silence ended millions of different coloured sparks could be seen shooting up into the night sky.

* Severus Snape didn’t see himself and Lily happily married together in the mirror of Erised. He only saw Lily, happy and smiling, proving how strong and selfless his love for her really was.

* To conjure a Patronus, Luna thought of the D.A. meetings. They were her happiest memories, where she met her best friends.

* Severus Snape never liked having Ginny Weasley in class because when he saw her out of the corner of his eye, for a split second he always thought it was Lily.

* While working at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, the twins often wore name tags labelled "Gred" and "Forge”.

After Harry Potter Series Ended

* James got one more O.W.L. than his father: History of Magic. The exam was the easiest one, seeing as the majority of questions were about Harry.

* When Harry and Hermione came over to help Arthur Weasley set up the television he asked them hundreds of questions, most of them about how electricity worked. He had to be restrained from trying to electrocute himself because he wanted to see "Just exactly how it felt".

* One day Albus Severus was roaming the castle when he came across a portrait of a hook-nosed, greasy haired man who wore all black. “So you must be Potter's spawn, eh?” Snape sneered. Albus said “I’m sorry my brother James bothers you. I am Albus. Albus Severus.” Snape looked down into Albus’ eyes- the green eyes- Lily Potter once had. For the first time in a long time, Snape smiled. A true smile. “And I am Severus Snape.”

* Albus Severus Potter often visited the portrait of Severus Snape, and they would have long talks about Hogwarts and Potions in particular. Once when Albus was just about to get on the Hogwarts Express, he was talking to his father about Snape and how he thought he was a charming man. Harry asked him what Snape’s portrait was like, he told him that it was dark and bland, with potion vials scattered around and books in heaps on the floor. Harry wasn't surprised; he pictured the potions dungeons in his head from when he was at Hogwarts. However, when Albus proceeded to tell Harry that on the desk in Snape’s portrait stood a vase of lilies, which seemed to be the brightest and prettiest thing in the picture, Harry let out a little smile, hugged Albus and continued to help him get his trunk onto the carriage.

* Ron was helping Hugo with his spells one day, and Hugo mispronounced Wingardium Leviosa. Ron said, "It's Leviosa, not Leviosah." Hermione caught his eye, and they laughed for a good few minutes, much to Hugo's curiosity.

* Harry kept all of the sweaters Molly knitted for him over the years. When she saw them folded in his cupboard one day, she cried.

* George sent along with a box of Custard Creams with Roxanne as a gift to Neville on her first day of Hogwarts. She didn't speak to her father for a week when her Herbology professor turned into a canary in the middle of class.

* When a young Teddy Lupin was told his father was a werewolf, he thought he had the coolest dad ever.

* Lily, Rose and Roxanne's parents never bought them any pink cardigans.

* Neville Longbottom's son was sorted into Gryffindor before the Sorting Hat even touched his head.

* If Harry were to look in the mirror of Erised today, he wouldn't see anything different.

* James and Fred both broke their namesakes' detention records. George developed a device sold at the shop which detected any cheats or scams. It was called the Lying Ludo.

* Hagrid visited Norberta in Romania. She recognized her ‘Mummy.’

* Neville tried to return the sword of Gryffindor to Harry after the battle, but Harry didn’t accept – the one thing that the Ministry had gotten right was that the sword was never Dumbledore’s to give. It now rests in Professor Longbottom’s office, waiting to be called by another worthy Gryffindor.

* After the war, Neville went and visited his parents at St. Mungo’s to explain the end of Voldemort’s reign. He knew they wouldn’t understand, but they deserved to know – it was what they had been fighting for all along.

* There was always a vase of fresh lilies in the Potter home.

* Percy made a point to see his father at the ministry every day after they both returned to work.

* When Hermione told Ron she was pregnant, it was the single most terrifying moment of his life. It was also the happiest.

* Narcissa Malfoy never truly forgave Molly for killing her sister but understood why she did it.

* Hugo and Rose always run to their father for sweets – Hermione is still the daughter of two dentists.

* Rose once came across a selection of books penned by Gilderoy Lockhart in her mother’s library. Her father confiscated them and muttered something about “pompous prat.”

* In the Granger-Weasley household, it was always Hermione who stepped up to kill the spiders.

* Neville didn’t buy his son a pet toad.

* Draco’s nurturing upbringing of Scorpius was inspired by his own father: he did everything Lucius didn’t.

* Hermione and her parents spent hours attempting to explain to Arthur Weasley how airplanes stay up. He still didn’t quite understand the concept.

* James and Fred annoyed everyone by constantly Apparating from room to room, sometimes accidentally landing on top of people.

* Teddy Lupin was slightly distraught at not becoming a prefect, for he knew his father had been one. “I’m sure you just lack certain qualities,” Harry told him, “like the ability to behave yourself.” Teddy was puzzled until Harry explained those were the words of his mother.

* On those rare occasions that Harry would visit Dudley’s family, he still called him ‘Big D.’

* Ron’s kids found the infamous Yule Ball dress robes hanging in his cupboard once. The teasing lasted for weeks.

* Ginny was disappointed when her son James's first word was ‘buddy 'ell’ (bloody hell) after spending too much time with his Uncle Ron.

* When Ron suggested his children a homework planner, Hermione dropped the pot she was holding and beamed with happiness.

* After failing to secure her father’s attention during a particularly noisy family dinner at the burrow, Rose angrily screeched “Won-Won!” The entire room fell silent, and Ron’s face flushed a brilliant red until Hermione simply burst out laughing.

* Hugo never really understood why his father was so adamant about the fact that no good ever came from entering a girls’ bathroom.

* Neville Longbottom gives the best advice to his students and is viewed as a mentor. A frightened young first-year once approached him with concerns about a bully. Neville looked him in the eyes and told him that he was worth twelve of that coward.

* When Ron proposed to Hermione, he fumbled with the ring and almost dropped it down the sewer. When Hermione said yes, he was shocked and Hermione simply replied with ”Always the tone of surprise.”

* Fred had actually never heard Percy joke. At Fred's funeral, Percy promised him he'd lighten up. And since then, he had. Every year on the anniversary of his death, Percy visited Fred's grave in the dead of night. Instead of placing roses, he put a pile of dragon dung next to it. Every year, he whispered, "Yeah, I was the world's biggest prat." When George arrived later in the day, he always wondered who the prankster was.

* Scorpius doesn’t understand why his father always squirms at the mere mention of ferrets.

* George's proposal to Angelina wasn't planned. George and Angelina had been together for a while and had never discussed marriage. One night at a big Weasley family party, a conversation arose between George, Percy, and Ron. Percy and Audrey had recently gotten married and Ron and Hermione were engaged. Ron started joking with George about marrying Angelina when Percy asked if he had even thought about the idea.

Percy, who still didn't have the best sense of humor, continued, "George you're an adult and you should really start acting like it." "Fine," George replied, and taking inspiration from his twin brother he stood up and said:

"Oi! Angelina!" She looked up from her conversation with Ginny and Fleur. "Want to marry me?" asked George.

Though she was very surprised she smiled coyly and said, "All right, then" and continued on with her conversation. George sat back down and looked at his brother Percy who looked absolutely stunned. Remembering a very similar conversation in his fourth year of school Ron patted George on the back and said, "Piece of cake."

* When Fred and Roxanne were very young, Fred constantly played sneaky pranks on his little sister. One day, when Roxanne was reduced to tears after Fred stole her Pygmy puff, George introduced his daughter to the punching telescope. Angelina scolded her husband fiercely when Fred came downstairs one morning with a black eye.

* To tell Harry she was pregnant, Ginny took him to Godric's Hollow. She knew he wanted to name them after his parents, so what better place to tell him? It was time to make new, happier memories there anyway. Hermione broke the news to Ron that she was pregnant for the first time by using a Christmas gift. It was a Chudley Cannons baby outfit.

* When Ron and Hermione were deciding on what color to paint their room in, Ron had joked saying 'Lavender'. Hermione didn't speak to him for a week, and vowed to get revenge. When Hugo was born and they were deciding on baby names, Hermione said in all seriousness, that she was dying to name the baby Viktor II. Ron never used the name Lavender again.

* The members of the D.A. consider their charmed galleons as one of their most prized possessions. Luna Lovegood made a necklace out of hers.

* When asked about the significance of Chocolate Frog cards, Ron explained to his children that they were wizards of great significance in the Wizarding World. Rose replied by inquisitively asking him why he was on one.

* James, Rose, Albus, Hugo, and Lily all complained about never going camping. Their parents simply wouldn't budge on their firm 'NO.'

* Shortly after the war, Hermione gave Ron her book of Muggle fairy tales so that he could understand that no, Cinderella was not an illness.

* Harry Potter regrets the day he taught his sons "Levicorpus."

* None of the kids understood why there was an unidentifiable Weasley cousin called Barney in Fleur and Bill's wedding photos.

* Scorpius Malfoy excelled in Care of Magical Creatures, much to his father’s disbelief.

* James snuck his namesake’s motorbike out of the garage to take it for a spin quite often. One summer, he crashed it unknown to his parents. When they finally found out, he received a Howler at breakfast in the great hall one morning. It had been Ron’s idea.

*When Rose was a little girl, she used to wish she was a cat. Her mother would reply quite firmly that no, being a cat was not all that enjoyable.

* Seamus Finnigan didn’t allow his son to play with matches, for fear of his underage magical talent coming to fruition.

* Whilst playing for the Holyhead Harpies Ginny was hit on the back of the head by a Bludger, she fell off her broom and ended up unconscious for a few days. When she woke up the first thing she saw was Harry asleep in a chair next to her bed. This is when she decided to settle down, marry him, and have children. She was just waiting to make sure he wouldn’t leave again. The sight of him there reassured her he never would.

* Every Christmas since the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry tried to have something to represent every victim he had known on the Christmas tree. For Dobby, there was a pair of odd socks. For Mad-Eye, there were round chocolates covered with foil to look the eyeballs. For Fred, there was a little angel with a cheeky grin and a flame of ginger hair. For Colin, there was a tiny silver camera... For Tonks, there was a small star which changed colour. For Remus, there was a wolf which was near the star, watching over it. For Snape, there was a Lily that was entwined in the tree's pines. And for Hedwig, there was a toy owl on top of the tree.

* When they were at the end of their second year, Rose, Scorpius, and Al figured out a way to enchant their notebooks to work as a three-way note system. One person would write something and it would appear in the other two notebooks. The three friends used this method of communication all throughout their years at Hogwarts.

* When Hermione went back to Hogwarts, Ron gave her his favorite jumper to take with her. Hermione thought it might have been the most romantic thing he’d ever done. It was old and had a few holes in it and was much too big for her, but she rarely took it off.

* Harry was there for Umbridge's trial. She pleaded not guilty, that she was under the Imperius Curse the whole time. She kept on asking Harry to back her up. Esmerelda Marchbanks called upon Harry to confirm Umbridge’s story. "Potter, tell them the truth! Tell them I was under the Imperius Curse! I feel remorse! Please, tell them!" Harry simply looked at Dolores Jane Umbridge and said: "I’m sorry Professor, I must not tell lies

[ashdreams2023]

Hello! Can u do one where Snape and student reader has a platonic bantering relationship? Like Snape favors them a lot and students and teachers clearly notices but Snape and Student likes to go back and forth with petty insults. Kinda like making the other students and professors confused if Snape actually favors them or not. But when someone insults the other they would passionately defend them. Something along the lines of "only I can insult Snape/Student" It can be like Snape is complaining abt Student to McGonagall then suddenly McGonagall agrees and adds her complaints making Severus defend student suddenly. Or when Student is complaining to her friends abt how awful Snape is but when her friends insult him she also defends him. HAHAHAHA i don't know if it makes sense so I understand if u can't make it lol.

Platonic severus snape x reader

Severus didn’t like when students disrespected him, just because he’s young didn’t mean he wasn’t worthy out it.

That’s one of many reasons he’s so strict, students just learn to stay out of his way like that but then again there we’re always the ones who just didn’t get the hint.

And one of them was you.

Honestly you were bound to be trouble the second you opened your mouth in his classroom, left him gritting his teeth and furiously angry at the house you were from.

You were blunt, annoying and hotheaded.

"But Professor just one last chance! You need too you know this was not my best performance!"

"Sounds like a you problem."

It would be like that then after some more nagging he would give in because you we’re starting to give him a headache and he couldn’t give you detention for asking for help.

At one point he just gave up with your tactics all together and what made it worse was that you kept your promises, you did your work, participated in class, and regardless of the back talk and half assed comments at each other you were not, dare he say…insufferable but just more tolerable than most.

Although minerva likes to say you’re his favorite but he denies it every time, he doesn’t have favorites and he merely tolerates you.

"Severus due give this to young miss [——] when you go to the great hall"

"Do I look like an owl Minerva?" He said irritated.

The older professor gave him a look before he groaned and took the textbook and went on his way to the great hall where students were starting to gather in for lunch.

The great hall was buzzing with chatter, students were too busy to notice him enter and he liked it that way, he looked around then landed his eyes on you sitting on the gryffindor table to his pleasure, chatting with potter and granger.

He approached you slowly but stopped when he heard potter mentioning him.

"I swear I can’t do it anymore! If I get another troll on my next assignment I’m gonna try convincing Dumbledore that it’s not necessary in the curriculum"

"Don’t be dramatic, potions just need some focusing and if you tried not picking fight with snape things would be easier, I know he’s an ass but come on" you replied.

Hermione cleared her throat "it’s Professor Dumbledore Harry and professor snape to you!" She pointed at you but you just shrugged "moral of the story she’s right Harry you just need to focus, try to pay attention in class instead of neglecting your grades just to spite professor snape"

Harry crossed his arms "easy for her to say, she’s his favorite, it’s honestly starting to piss me off! He’s a git who only cares about his own house and I hope he does get that dark arts position at least then he would leave hogwarts one way or another!"

Harry regretted his words the second they left his mouth, the look you gave him was a mix of shock and angry.

"What is wrong with you?! I know he’s a git, he’s unfair and sometimes plain unreasonable when he feels like it but wishing death on him just because you dislike him!"

"[——] calm down Harry didn’t mean it like that!"

"That’s not-"

"That’s exactly what you meant Harry! He’s mean but he’s not a monster" you said all of that while not realizing snape was standing right there, watching and observing the whole thing.

It made his chest a tad tight, he hated the feeling but the look of absolute shame on Harry’s face made him satisfied.

Maybe he does have favorites.

"Snape? What are you doing with my textbook!" You said finally noticing him standing there with you transfigurations textbook. He scoffed and handed you the textbook.

"You brats would lose your head if it they weren’t attached to your body"

You frowned and took your textbook from him.

"I remember important stuff…like washing my hair" you smirked

Snape glared at you, screw what he just thought, you were still annoying.

[snail-pot]

So. I don't know bout you guys, but I get excited when I reach these "bookmark milestones" (ex. I've bookmarked 200 fics, I've bookmarked 300 fics, etc etc). ANYWAY, I was thinking, to celebrate my 400th bookmark, why not make a list of Harry Potter fics I've bookmarked throughout my time on Ao3?

Oliver Wood overhears a private conversation while cleaning the broom shed.

"what my hands were made for" by hexiewrites [Teen]

There had been a small silver Quaffle inked into the skin on Oliver’s right hipbone since before he knew how to walk. His mother had gasped delightedly the day it had appeared, shimmering onto his skin as if by magic.

"Ottery St. Catchpole" by Erisah_Mae [Teen]

Tumblr Prompt from accio shitpost: "i wanna see a muggle who goes stealth among wizards purely by having a ridiculous aesthetic" A muggle moves to Ottery St Catchpole a few months after the Battle of Hogwarts, and there's a slight misunderstanding.

"A Touch of Mystery" by Edie_K [Teen]

At their weekly lunch, the Weasley brothers learn some surprising new information and the balance of power shifts. Canon compliant, set two years after DH.

"A Crown of Lilac Fingertips" by wickersnap [Teen, Harry Potter/Ron Weasley]

When they’d shaken hands on the train and Harry had pulled back with a bright, grass green imprint on his hand, he had gasped, excited, and asked Ron what it was. At thirteen years old green becomes lilac, and at fourteen lilac becomes red. At seventeen it's both, and they wouldn't have it any other way.

"The Sign" by Hang_In_There_Baby_Crookshanks [Gen, Justin Finch-Fletchley/Ernie Macmillan]

Justin Finch-Fletchley thinks he has zero chance of being asked out for Valentine's Day. Is he about to be pleasantly surprised? Or will the irritating muggle song that he seems to be the only one able to hear drive him crazy first?

"why not both" by varnes [Mature, Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley/Viktor Krum]

“Small baby,” Krum diagnosed, sounding delighted by this. “World too big, yes? Wants back in small, warm place, yes?” Ron realized that he was holding his breath. He glanced over at Hermione, who was looking at Krum like she was definitely, absolutely going to leave Ron for him, and honestly, at this moment, Ron felt that was fair. Ron was going to leave himself for Krum. Ron was going to rob all the banks in the world to get Viktor Krum back his money as long as it meant he’d keep their beautiful, perfect, angelic monster of a screaming baby quiet. “I want to be in a small, warm place,” Hermione muttered, and then squeaked a little realizing she’d said it out loud. Rose giggled. “Shidole,” she whispered, looking pleased and interested, smacking at Krum’s chest. “Rose, don’t call our guests shitholes,” Hermione scolded, and then said, “Viktor, you can stay as long as you like.” - Or: The Ron/Hermione/Krum fic that absolutely nobody was hankering for in the year of our Lord 2020.

"can take the sting (if you heal my bruises)" by oliverwvvd [Teen, Cormac McLaggen/Ron Weasley, Marcus Flint/Oliver Wood]

Prompted by peachpety for Quidditch Fest 2021. I hope this fulfils what you hoped for to some degree! Cormac McLaggen and Oliver Wood hold the record for the two Keepers in the Quidditch league with the most injuries to date respectively. Oliver plays it risky and ends up in the hands of an exasperated Marcus Flint, ex-Montrose Magpies player turned Healer. Cormac, on the other hand, has a persistent crush on Ron that everyone knows about...except for Ron, who is oblivious, right up until the moment that he isn't. [Original prompt/request: Person A plays professional Quidditch and is prone to injury. All the more reason to see the team physician, his secret crush. Person B is the exasperated team physician at his wit's end with the only player for whom he pines. UST OUT THE WAZOO & happy endings, please.]

"Petunia Evans, a Retelling" by HouseElfMagic [Teen]

Petunia remembered magic. Being young and making things happen--strange things, impossible things--and then the pain when that man took it all away, locked it inside her. She doesn't get it back until Lily's started Hogwarts already and by then she's old enough to decide she wants to keep her own magic a secret. She didn't know that this would ultimately lead her on a quest to raise her nephew and defeat an evil megalomaniac calling himself Voldemort. But, well, here she is. She will do whatever it takes to keep her nephew safe. And hey, if she gets a pseudo father, rescues a convict, makes friends, becomes an almost permanent babysitter to two additional children, and writes books along the way, then that's a definite bonus.

"Like a Dream" by orphan_account [Teen, Viktor Krum/Ron Weasley]

Ron's life had been in a routine for so long. He did his job as an Auror even though he didn't love it, he lived alone but decided he was okay with it, and he ignored that his soulmate was a person who felt more like a fantasy than a reality.

"Loopholes" by orphan_account [Gen, Fred Weasley/Lee Jordan]

To prank his well despised DADA professor, Umbridge, after she put up a decree that prohibits boys from being too close to girls, George Weasley ingeniously finds a loophole and eventually gets his twin brother and his best friend to fake date. Which, however, wasn't going to last long in the first place, especially due to Lee's annoying crush on Fred.

"the art of bending rules" by orphan_account [Gen, Fred Weasley/Lee Jordan]

Umbridge thinks the only way to control the rebels at Hogwarts is to put up rules — and more rules, and then a few more rules after that. Unfortunately, what she doesn’t understand is that there is nothing most rebels are better at than bending the rules. It’s an art to perfect, as Fred says.

Happy reading! Don't be afraid to ask for recs and I'll do my best to answer them :))

H E R M I O N E

OOC: this is a rp blog for Hermione Granger. if you don't like it, leave. my main blog is @siriuslyobsessed394. <3

Hello. My name is Hermione Jean Granger (she/her) <3

Be nice to me and I'll be nicer to you.

Be mean to me and I'll probably punch you.

Lay a finger on my friends and it will be removed. Slowly. Painfully. Soon followed by the rest of your digits.

I am a Gryffindor, bisexual, the president of SPEW, a nerd, and a third-year. I'm a muggleborn and freaking proud. I'm a feminist. I'm excellent at transfiguration (and basically every other class), and I have little tolerance for stupidity and divination (they're the same thing).

If you have a problem with any of the above, go away.

T H I N G S I L I K E :

Writing; reading; transfiguration; homework; reading; sarcasm; being right; reading; cats; libraries; house elves; my friends.

T H I N G S I D I S L I K E :

Bullies; stupidity; divination; blood supremacists; Malfoy; and you, probably.

I would die for my friends but I'd kill for them first.

P E O P L E I K N O W :

s t u d e n t s:

Harry: @prongs--jr - My best friend, basically nonbiological brother. An idiot, but I'll let it slide.

Ron: @ron-b-weasely - My other best friend. Also an idiot. but like hes kinda cute.

Luna: @luna-rya-lovegood - A little odd, but I love her for it. Much smarter than I am.

Malfoy: @blond-deadly-nightshade - Punched him once, it's taken tons of self-control to not do it again. And again. And again.

Neville: @neville-sucks-at-magic - He's really nice, smarter than he thinks he is.

Blaise: @purebloodprincezabini - Possibly the only decent Slytherin out there.

Fleur: @delacour-petale - Freaking gorgeous and also brilliant, and super brave. i definitely don't have a little bit of a crush on her

Angelina: @angie-jj - Amazing quidditch player. Also beautiful. She's so cool.

Pansy: @pansies-and-snakes - Another Slytherin + blood supremacist. Really annoying. Ew. she is kinda cool tho

Oliver: @the-real-oliver-wood - Quidditch obsessed. He's pretty nice, though.

a d u l t s:

Professor Dumbledore: @onehundredandsixteen - He's my headmaster so obviously I have to think highly of him. sigh.

Professor Lupin: @lupins-luxery-insan1ty - Best freaking teacher I've ever had. He's awesome.

Fred and George: @betterthanfred and @betterthangeorge - Ron's brothers. Pranksters of Hogwarts. Either geniuses or idiots at any given moment, there's no in-between.

Ginny: She's sweet, an excellent quidditch player, and one of the bravest people I know.

Sirius: @behind-bars-baddie - Harry's godfather. A little reckless. He seems alright, though.

Mrs. Potter: @mrs-prongs - Harry's mother!!! She's awesome, literally my role model, 90% of the reason why I'm friends with her son. (Kidding, of course, Harry) would 100% put on a hear me out cake

Mr. Lovegood: @that-super-duper-weird-one - Luna's dad. He seems pretty cool.

Mr. Crouch: @imbetterthanuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu - Gods, he's annoying and extremely immature for his age. Seems to like Luna, so he can't be that bad, but he can't remember my name so...

Mrs. Weasley: @mother-molly-weasley - Literally my second mum, love her so much, is the best chef to ever exist.

Professor Snape: @severus-not-snivellus - I would never say a bad thing about a teacher, of course, but I will say that the thing I'm the most proud of here at Hogwarts was setting him on fire in first year.

Tonks: @doratonkss1 - Freaking awesome. I idolize her. She's so cool.

Mrs. Malfoy: @the-pureblood-queen - Draco's mother. She seems to love him a lot- a truly Herculean feat.

Mr. Rosier: @rosiers--and--thorns - Definition of asshole.

3-Harry Potter

An Au where everyone is born having a soul bond connected to someone(more often then not a sibling but there are times it is to someone outside their family) who will be one of the most important people in your life(platonically).

Lily Evans and Severus Snape were born with a soul bond connecting them, Eileen expected something like this but didn't think her son would have a soul bond with a muggleborn.

Eileen knew that her son wouldn't be safe with her and Tobias so she went to the Evans and explained everything and requested that they raise Severus as their own to which the Evans parents accept as they could never forgive themselves for letting a child go back to one parent that will turn abusive once his magic is found out.

Lily and Severus grow up together and are very much like twins which annoys Petunia who is the one that has to get them out of trouble even if she is thankful for them as they helped her get rid of a boy that wouldn't accept a 'no' as an answer.

Anyways, imagine the time for them to go to Hogwarts arrives and the marauders meet them and the moment they say the first bad word about Severus, Lily would attack them as she would not allow anyone to badmouth her brother.

The marauders(mostly James and Sirius) keep trying to bully Severus especially as he still ends up in Slytherin and Lily in Gryffindor but neither of the Evans 'twins' allow it and when the friends Lily made ask her why she protects a 'evil' slytherin she turns to them with the fiercest glares and tells them that they may not respect the gift Lady magic gave her but she will not let anyone hurt her soul bonded which leads to a few realizations as everyone knows that someone's soul bonded are they everything and even when people fall in love and have kids, their soul bonded will still be one of their priorities.

This idea is a bit of a mess but it came to my mind after a fic I read.

[althaeifolia]

For @snarrymicrofics June prompts, day 1: Teddy Bear Summary: Harry's not used to having their child away from home. Severus really wants to go back to bed. Pairing: Harry Potter/Severus Snape Rating: T Warnings: No warnings apply Word count: 600 (oops)

_______

Severus woke up with a sense of something missing. He reached out in the complete darkness – the streetlights were out yet again, apparently, damn this blasted town – and found only a cold, empty spot where another body should be. He groaned quietly, trying to sit up; lately, his back was protesting the years spent hunched over a cauldron louder than usual.

Not bothering to look for his wand he left the bedroom and wandered the house for a good moment, until his trained ear caught a quiet sniffle in one of the rooms. As quietly as possible he pushed the door open to find Harry on the floor; eyes red and puffy, hands mindlessly stroking the soft fur of the teddy bear lying abandoned on the bed.

Sighing and internally apologizing to his poor bones he sat down and embraced his husband, warm body immediately melting against his. They sat in silence for a long time.

“She’s too young to be so far away from home” Harry whispered eventually, voice cracking halfway through the sentence and Severus found himself pulling him closer, protectively. “What if something happens and we won’t be there?”

“Minerva would contact us immediately” he answered in what he hoped was a soothing tone. It was too early for this. “And as incompetent as Longbottom can be, he takes his duties as Head of House seriously. He won’t let anything happen.”

“But what if he doesn’t know?!” Severus was unprepared for the sudden yell, or for the influx of new tears in green eyes. As level-headed Harry has grown up to be in his years as an auror, apparently their child leaving for Hogwarts was his breaking point. “We got into so much dangerous shit in school and nearly died multiple times and Dumbledore only looked and did nothing and Minerva didn’t even know half the time-”

“You were a special case!” The strict tone, a reminder of his years as a teacher seemed to work, as Harry turned back to look at him surprised, tears momentarily forgotten. “You ran into danger head first, without thinking, every time. There are no Dark Lords to chase and no precious artifacts to destroy anymore. She will be fine.”

“But what if-”

“Besides” Severus continued, not letting his husband butt in, “Lily is a smart girl. Definitely smarter than you were at her age, Snape. And with how much she likes to talk, you will know everything that happens to every inhabitant of the castle, within hours, if her poor owl doesn’t die from exhaustion flying back and forth”

That got a weak giggle, at least.

“You’re one to talk, Potter” Harry mumbled, shifting so he could hide his face against his husband’s shoulder. “You were the one that floo’d Minevra when you didn’t get Lily’s letter two hours after Sorting”

“That was a perfectly reasonable action!” Severus snorted,  “I had to make sure my daughter isn’t a Gryffindor.”

“You married one, you wanker” The insult would hold a bit more power if it wasn’t followed by a yawn and two arms wrapping themselves around Severus’ neck. The birds outside seemed to be waking up, if the increasingly annoying noise was to be trusted. Not much of the night left, and plenty of sleep they still needed.

“You’re taking a sick leave today” Two sets of knees cracked painfully, as they rose from the floor. “We’re staying in bed. And if you behave, I will send a letter to Minerva and see if we can visit over the weekend.”

The smile Harry sent him did weird things to Severus’ heart.

Snarry AUctoberfest!

Prompt claiming is now open! （´▽｀*） here to promote my prompts tehe. (retweet individually here as I post them)

Snape and Harry are sent back in time, maybe while they were in the middle of a fight or (external) altercation… and they decide to raise Tom Riddle.

Snape is a well respected, veteran actor with the reputation of being extremely harsh on newcomers, particularly ones that cannot act. He is cast to co-star with Harry, who has been in romcom after romcom, and Snape does not take him seriously. When the screentests actually happen, Snape realises he severely underestimated Harry, who is a raw, natural talent with an instinctual understanding of the craft. Their chemistry sparks like fire during filming and Snape finds himself disarmed by it and by his alarming attraction to the young man 20 years his junior.

Snape runs the drama club at Hogwarts (the wizarding world has always had theatre with sets far superior to muggle ones) & usually mentors the students in the main roles. However, this year's play will be followed by a soiree that's meant to be a fundraiser, and their biggest donors miss Snape's legend and want him to play the main role this time. This year's play is Phantom of the Opera, with Snape as the phantom and Hermione as Christine... until both Hermione and her understudy are forced to drop out, and whoops, only Harry can do the role.

Royalty AU (post 1995; think Red, White, & Royal Blue)—Prince Harry Potter. Severus can be another prince, professor, politician, writer, mafia, ex-con, bodyguard, MI6, any commoner or something else fun (preferably not a butler). They don't get along at first then end up in bed together. Eventually after dating for a while, the media eventually finds out the prince is getting fucked by some older guy twice his age, or the prince/politician of [country] and people are scandalised.

[FMA] Snarry & RoyEd AU set in Harry's 4/5/6 year. Roy and Ed are the new Alchemy and DADA professors, or a genius Gryffindor student and DADA/Alchemy professor. Or if 4th year, RoyEd are from Durmstrang (or Amestris is also in the tournament).

MMORPG AU (as in they play MMORPGs together... or get stuck in a full dive game together like in .hack//SIGN lol)

Sirius POV: Sirius survives the battle at the ministry thanks to Snape but has to deal with Harry and Snape getting closer and falling for each other and boy, he did not sign up for this.

[Hannibal crossover] Harry is rescued from the Dursleys by Hannibal Lecter (Grindlewald; the one at Nurmengard is a fake) and Will Graham. Will becomes the new muggleborn DADA professor. "…Are you encouraging our son to fuck his Potions Professor?" "No, darling. I'm encouraging our lovely son to seduce and kill him." (for funsies & to reveal the man's allegiances) "Yeah, how about you don't do that." Will Graham gets to kill Hannibal's ex instead of Snape and also play spy (no unrealistic bashing pls).

[Discord fic] Dom!Snape and sub or switch!Harry or fem!Harry join the same BDSM Discord, meet, clash, bond, fuck. optional for moving the war down the timeline/maybe this helps them and others after the war. Preferable for Harry to manage to keep his personality & believable forms of address to each other. Voice calls OK. Tom Riddle OK. BG Bellamione an option if muggle AU. Bonus: unpredictableArtist's work skin.

[Discord fic] Harry & Snape end up in the same Discord server over a shared hobby, e.g. book server for some made up or popular real series, D&D group, Harry Potter server filled with fic authors, etc, and annoy everybody by always sniping at each other (and lowkey flirting?) in chat. "You don't want to go in VC right now" (S&H in a huge debate) Bonus: unpredictableArtist's work skin.

[House M.D. crossover] Harry Potter is dying and exhibiting bizarre symptoms and not even the wizards can figure out why. Dr. House and James Wilson are on a vacation in the U.K. and keep getting mistaken as a couple. They get caught in the crossfire of the wizarding war and see Snape try to cure Harry to no avail. H has to deal with the existence of WIZARDS. House deduces very quickly, "You're fucking your student. The saviour of your 'wizarding world'." House diagnoses and saves Harry.

[Merlin crossover] Merthur & Snarry! Snape and Harry get thrown back to Camelot and Merlin (BBC) is outed to Arthur as a "sorcerer" (warlock), only for Arthur to later be murdered (perhaps by Mordred. timeline unspecified. Maybe Snape, for some reason, looks like Mordred (reincarnation?)) They timeloop to save Arthur. Arthur finally learns and appreciates who Merlin/Emrys is. Bonus if Harry gets to ride a dragon commanded by the Last Dragonlord.

Severin dies choking on a sausage while cursing the ending of Harry Potter on an online forum and ends up transmigrating into the books as the contentious character of Severus Snape who dies at the end. Now Severus needs to survive with the book's foreknowledge and fix the ending. Unfortunately for him, the protagonist ends up harbouring concealed feelings for him. Bonus if the System has the cheery annoying voice of Albus Dumbledore. [Scum Villain AU lmao]

[therealroselovejoy]

Pranking the Prince

Fandom: Harry Potter Marauders Era

Annabex Collins remembered the day her hatred of Severus Snape began: Day two of her first year at Hogwarts. She assumed everyone would start out at the same education level, regardless if they are muggle-born or not. Unfortunately, she was very wrong.

"You haven't stirred enough," the long-nosed, dark-haired boy told her with a sneer. "You're supposed to wait until it turns yellow."

The blonde eleven-year-old looks down at her potion, squinting and realizing it was still pretty orange. Even if she didn't stir enough, it wasn't any of his business. "Maybe you're colored blind or maybe it's that scraggly hair you can't see around. This is obviously yellow." Of course, she failed the Wiggenweld Potion while the insufferable raven-top aced the assignment, which he quickly gloated silently her way.

Fast forward six years, and their feud hasn't cooled since then, despite her being neck-to-neck in potions now, the urge to beat her enemy being a strong driving force to study.

"I wonder what Headmaster Dumbledore is announcing," her friend, Embry says, taking a bite of her tart. Severus glowers at them from further down the table, as if the question ruined his whole day.

Well, he's the eavesdropper, she thinks to herself, sending him an equally scathing look back to her fellow Slytherin. Since his split with Lily Evans, he has grown even meaner. Now no one can as much look his way without being hexed.

"Attention, students," Dumbledore says, gathering the attention of the room to the podium where he stands. "I have a special event for all of you that I do hope you participate in." Annabex didn't miss the mischievous twinkle in the older man's eye and felt some dread at the thought of what's to be announced.

"Starting tomorrow, we will be having Prank Wars! Each of you will have a badge that will calculate each prank you successfully pulled, but if you're pranked or caught by a staff member, your badge will turn black and you're out of the competition. The student at the end of the two month period with the highest points will be crowned Prank King or Queen!" There's excited murmurs through the crowd, the loudest being from the four annoying Gryffindor boys that seemed to be at the heart of every prank.

"Just prank me with something easy so I can be out and have peace," Embry mutters, picking at her food before it disappears. Severus scoffs, maybe at Annabex's friend or just the whole Prank Wars concept in general.

"I feel bad for him, you know," her brunette friend says, looking over at Annabex, who raises her eyebrow in question. "Oh come on, you have to see how the Gryffindors pick on him, and now his best friend is dating one of them. That's just harsh."

She had to admit that Severus was borderline tortured by the group, their nickname "Snivellus" wafting through the air wherever the skinny boy was. Then there was the incident last year...

"Do not make me pity that bloody oaf," she grinds out, standing up from the Great Hall bench in annoyance before stalking out, her black uniform robe squishing behind her. She knew who her first victim would be in Prank Wars and the revenge will be sweet.

It took a month to come up with, trying to dodge random pranks sitting around that discriminated none so she could remain in the competition. Only problem is, her target had become strangely scarce, probably to avoid the pranks from the Gryffindor four. So that's where she went for answers.

"Hey Black, do you know where Snape is?" she asks, surprised to see the long-haired boy alone.

"Snivellus? Well, actually, I do, as a matter-of-fact!" he says, an unsettling grin spreading across his face. "If you're going to prank him, it's too late. Right now, he's on his way to the Whomping Willow to encounter my surprise. After that, his badge will be black and you'll not gain any points."

"The Whomping Willow? How did you convince him to go there?" she questions, remembering the temperamental tree when she walked too close to it in her first year.

"Curiosity kills the cat for Snivellus. I told him the answer to his puzzle is there. I wouldn't go there, though, it's very dangerous," he adds the last part as if he read her mind about her next actions.

"Sure, I won't go there. I'll find a new target," she says in her most convincing tone, turning on her heels. She goes in a different direction of the tree until she's out of sight from Sirius Black, before changing trajectory.

"Well, this full moon makes this even more creepy," she says, approaching the moving Willow, her wand now out and being used for light. Her eyes make out a cloaked figure moving towards the tree.

"Snape!" she calls out, sprinting until she catches up with him.

"Get out of here, Collins!" He shoves her back with a silent spell for emphasis.

"No. I just talked to Black and this is a prank. Whatever they told you is in there, probably isn't. You know they get away with murder from Dumbledore, and this time it might be literally."

He peers at her with distrust, probably wondering if she was playing a prank on him now. "Why do you care?"

She rolls her eyes, taking a step closer. "Honestly, I don't, but they don't get to prank you before me."

"Please," he scoffs. "A confusing concoction? How were you going to get me to drink that? Slip it into my pumpkin juice?" Her hand goes into her pocket, her fingers brushing over the potion she worked hard on. "I bet it's not thick enough and you'll just poison me, like how most of your potions end up."

"Don't go in there!" They both turn to see an out-of-breath James Potter, another from the Gryffindor four. "It's dangerous. Black is trying to get you killed."

"Yeah, well, Snape might kill you so great plan," she mutters under her breath, but both hear it, turning to glare at her. Her shoulders go up in a shrug.

"You're just trying to keep me away from whatever secret you're keeping!" Severus replies, turning back to the tree.

Annabex grabs his wrist, pulling him back to face her and Potter. "I talked to Black too, remember? He's trying to get you killed."

"I know what he is, Potter. I'm not daft. The disappearances always around the full moon?"

Annabex looks between the glaring boys, her mouth dropping in shock. "There's a werewolf in there?"

"You can't tell anyone, Collins. Dumbledore knows and Remus isn't a threat when he's contained in there."

"It's Remus?" She takes a step back, looking between the two wide-eyed. "I just always thought he needed more sleep, not...that."

"Well, you are quite dense," Severus quips back, looking away when their eyes meet.

"Seriously, mate, you can't go in there," Potter says, surprising the other two that he didn't use the nasty nickname.

"You're doing this to prove to Lily that you aren't an arse. I'm not fooled."

Annabex was tired of the argument, especially now that it was going into fighting over a girl, Lily no less. She looks back at the Whomping Willow, an idea forming.

"Oh Merlin! He got out!" she screams, pointing at the tree. Both men turn towards it in alarm, wands coming out.

Before either can register, she shouts "Confundo!", hoping her pronunciation is clear and correct or she might've killed the lanky boy.

"I—wait, what were we talking about?" He looks from Potter to Annabex.

"You were talking about going inside, remember? Because you're wet and cold." She looks to Potter, waiting for him to catch on. When he finally does, he does a non-verbal aguamenti, drenching Severus in water.

"Oh, right, I am wet. How did that happen?" Snape looks down at his clothes in confusion. Annabex grabs his hand, pulling him alongside her, knowing the clever boy would overcome the spell shortly and she needed to get him out of here.

"Here, I'll help you but we have to go back to the Slytherin Commons." Potter and her share a nod of understanding, as she leads the drenched potion prodigy inside. No one is in the dungeons when they arrive, probably due to the hour.

Her hands push him against the couch before she goes for the vial in her pocket. "Here, drink this. It's a calming draught," she lies, his confunded state allows him to be convinced. When the vial is finished, his eyes glaze over and she knows he'll definitely be out of it long enough for the sun to come up.

"Snape? Severus?" When he doesn't respond, just looks at her confused, she grins, reaching into his pocket. His Prank Wars badge. Annabex pulls out her own, putting it side-by-side, watching as his turns black and hers gains a point.

Mischief managed.

I JUST POSTED CHAPTER 4 PART 1

[magicschild]

Chapter 20

Quidditch

Summary:

We finally get to see everyone's reaction to Harry's second brush with death in his very first year of Hogwarts... aka his first quidditch game. Heads will roll...

Notes:

BOLD = Bookquotes ITALICS = Parsel UNDERLINE = Younger Version of a Character

"Now can we read the next chapter?" Professor Flitwick asked the mediwitch, practically vibrating with excitement.

"Humph," she glowered at him, "I suppose so."

As they entered November... and enormous beaverskin boots.

"No wonder those broomsticks are practically useless," Lucius sneered. "They're clearly not stored properly, unprotected from the elements."

"Not to mention that is a complete waste of Mr Hagrid's time," Narcissa said, "when he has the Hogwarts creatures to care for."

"I don't mind," Hagrid began.

"That is not the point, Mr Hagrid. Your employer clearly doesn't value the worth of a good gamekeeper." Narcissa glared at the headmaster. "You'd never see the Malfoy gamekeeper defrosting broomsticks."

"What sort of game do yer keep?" Hagrid asked, eager to hear about the creatures of one of the great houses.

"Well, there's my husband's albino peacocks. They're a little vicious to be honest, one even attacked the dark lord the other week. I struggled not to laugh. It even managed to get away when he tried to kill it. Clever little thing. Then there are the Abraxans. We're quite proud of our herd. We even race a few in the Abraxan races each year at Epsom."

"Don't forget the unicorns, Mother," young Draco said.

"Of course not, Dragon. How could I? We have a small herd of unicorns. Draco spent much of his childhood following after them. We have several crups, although they're not allowed in the manor, much to Draco's frustration."

"There are various types of snakes  in the forest," Lucius adds, "several kelpies and marmites in the lake, and we also have some Thestrals, although nowhere near the size herd that Hogwarts homes."

"We used to have a handful of Hippogriffs but after Draco's third year we removed those," Narcissa admitted. "We moved them to another of our family's holdings as a punishment for Draco's behaviour in your class."

"Then why did you try to have Buckbeak executed?" Harry asked.

"Unfortunately," Lucius said, "Draco complained about what happened in front of the wrong person and my hands were tied. I couldn't be seen to go easy on a half-breed. I apologise Mr Hagrid."

The Quidditch season had begun... holding a mattress.

"That was my fault," Draco admitted. "Sorry."

"It's ok," Harry said with a small smile.

It was really lucky that Harry... months later in the Sahara Desert.

"It's a shame you can't remember your history of magic facts as well as that," Hermione teased.

Hermione had become a bit more relaxed... she was much nicer for it.

"Gee, thanks," she muttered, rolling her eyes.

The day before Harry’s first Quidditch ... Harry noticed at once that Snape was limping.

"Observant, Potter," Moody praised.

Harry, Ron and Hermione moved closer... it wouldn’t be allowed.

"You're right, it wouldn't," Severus said.

Unfortunately, something about their guilty faces caught Snape’s eye... ‘Give it to me. Five points from Gryffindor.’

"That's not a rule, Severus!" Minerva complained.

"Haven't done it yet," Severus said.

"Besides you didn't even check that it was a library book," Filius added.

"Doesn't change the fact this hasn't happened yet and I haven't done anything YET."

‘He’s just made that rule up,’... ‘Dunno, but I hope it’s really hurting him,’ said Ron bitterly. 

"Ronald, that is your teacher you are talking about!" young Mrs Weasley complained. The elder still being annoyed that the man was a deatheater and had killed the headmaster, kept her mouth closed.

The Gryffindor common room... they got the right answers anyway.

"I'm glad to hear that you weren't copying!" Minerva said with a frown.

"I didn't want to copy," Harry said indignantly.

"To be fair, that was mostly me," Ron said with a shrug.

Harry felt restless... if there were other teachers listening. 

"Good plan, Mr Potter," Flitwick said.

He made his way down to the staff room... and a horrible scene met his eyes.

"Oh, no. What else could be in the school?" Ted Tonks asked.

Snape and Filch... robes above his knees.

Snape's eyes bulged. Surely not!

One of his legs was bloody... keep your eyes on all three heads at once?’ 

"What were you doing getting near that dog?" Moody demanded.

"How am I supposed to know?" Severus sneered. "It hasn't happened yet."

Harry tried to shut the door... ‘GET OUT! OUT!’

"I think you might have embarrassed Professor Snape, Harry," George teased.

Harry grinned for a second, before turning towards his teacher, remembering what his father had once done to him. He didn't think he'd want to be exposed before his student either - especially the son of his bully. "I'm sorry, sir."

"I accept your apology," Severus said, "even though it hasn't happened yet."

Harry left,...  he let that troll in, to create a diversion!’

"Did he?" Moody asked but Harry refused to answer. He didn't want everyone to suspect Snape, not knowing everything he now actually knew about the man but he didn't want to ruin the suspense either. He wanted everyone to work it out for themselves.

"I certainly thought so," he said with a shrug.

Hermione’s eyes were wide... ‘Honestly, Hermione, you think all teachers are saints or something,’ snapped Ron. 

"Do not," Hermione complained.

"Lockhart," Harry coughed.

"That does not count!"

The two boys started laughing.

‘I’m with Harry... wasn’t easy to forget.

"Who knew you've been failing at Occulemcy much longer than we realised," Ron joked, causing Harry to throw his pillow at him.

The next morning dawned... ‘I’m not hungry.’

"You should have eaten, dear," Mrs Weasley said.

Harry felt terrible... who get nobbled by the other team.’ 

"Real helpful Seamus!" Dean teased.

‘Thanks, Seamus,’ said Harry... Potter for President

"Why?" Remus asked.

"Alliteration," Dean said with a shrug.

"Potter Power, Potter Passion, Patently Potter," Remus began.

"Potter's Pitch Party," Sirius added.

"Points for Potter," Remus continued, "Potters in Possession, It's Possible with Potter, Potter Pride, Pretty Potter."

"Prince Potter," Sirius chuckled. "Potter for the Prize."

"You've clearly done this before," Hermione said with a grin.

"Obviously," Sirius said in a way that sounded strangely like Snape.

and Dean, who was good at drawing... different colours.

"That's some nice charms work, Miss Granger," young Filius said.

Meanwhile, in the changing rooms... Wood cleared his throat for silence. 

"Ok, men," Harry said.

"And women," Angelina added with a giggle.

"And women," Harry agreed. "This is it."

"The big one," Fred said, bringing a tear to his older twin's eye.

"The one we've all been waiting for," George continued.

"What the hell was that?" someone asked.

"It's always the same speech," George explained. "We tend to memorise it."

Oliver blushed scarlet.

‘OK, men,’ he said... We’re going to win. I know it.’

"Did you?" Sirius asked with a grin.

"I'm not telling," Harry teased before sticking out his tongue.

"Cheeky," Sirius laughed.

He glared at them all as if to say, ‘Or else.’... They were off.

Several people cheered.

‘And the Quaffle is taken immediately... ‘Sorry, Professor.’ 

"Not sorry," Lee added with a smirk.

The Weasley twins’ friend, Lee Jordan... GRYFFINDOR SCORE!’

The Gryffindors in the chamber cheered eagerly.

Gryffindor cheers filled the cold air... No sign of the Snitch yet, eh?’

"I wish I was there to watch you play, Harry," Sirius said softly. "I'll be at every single match your younger self plays though. I promise."

"Thanks Sirius."

‘Nope,’ said Ron... ‘We don’t want you attacked before you have to be.’

"Good advice, especially for your first game," Sirius nodded.

When Angelina had scored... one of the Weasleys’ wristwatches, 

"Oops! That was me," George admitted.

and once a Bludger decided to come... furiously towards Marcus Flint.

George smiled sadly, remembering his twin.

‘Slytherin in possession,’... that had passed his left ear. 

"Foolish child," Severus muttered.

Harry saw it... WHAM! A roar of rage echoed from the Gryffindors below - 

"What happened?" several people demanded.

Marcus Flint had blocked Harry on purpose... ‘Foul!’ screamed the Gryffindors. 

"Cheating little..."

"Sirius," Remus murmured.

Madam Hooch spoke angrily... Red card!’ 

"What the hell is a red card?" one of the deatheaters asked.

"It's a muggle football thing," Harry explained, feeling somewhat weirded out that he was talking about football of all things with a deatheater. "If you get two yellow cards, you get a red card, or I think you can get one without a yellow one, if you do something bad enough, and with a red card, you're sent off."

"Right. Seems reasonable. Why don't we have red and yellow sparks? That would be easy enough to understand. Speed the whole thing up, I imagine too."

‘This isn’t football, Dean... ‘They oughta change the rules, Flint coulda knocked Harry outta the air.’

"It is a bit odd you can't be sent off, isn't it?" the deatheater, Rockwood commented to his younger self.

Lee Jordan was finding it difficult... ‘Jordan, I’m warning you – ’

Several people were laughing now. "You might be the best commentator Hogwarts has ever had," Sirius said.

"Hey!" Remus growled.

"Sorry Moony," Sirius grimaced.

‘All right, all right... frightening lurch.

"What was that?" Sirius asked, all good humour gone.

For a split second... which almost unseated him.

"Someone's cursed your broom," Sirius said, sitting forward, his back tight with stress.

Lee was still commentating...  and twitching as it went. 

"Why hasn't anyone noticed?" Sirius demanded. "Where were you all?"

The teachers didn't know what to say. For the most part they were in the stands but hadn't noticed until it was too late to act.

‘Dunno what Harry thinks he’s doing,’... holding on with only one hand. 

"Oh Merlin and Morgana," Sirius muttered, pulling both boys closer.

‘Did something happen to it when Flint blocked him?... do that to a Nimbus Two Thousand.’

"Quite right," Amelia said sternly. "Which means one of the adults at the match is trying to kill Potter. Were the aurors informed?"

The teachers all slunk back in their chairs, glaring at the headmaster.

"That's going on the list too then," Madam Bones said, folding her arms.

At these words, Hermione seized Hagrid’s binoculars... ‘I knew it,’ Hermione gasped. ‘Snape – look.’ 

Everyone looked at the potions master, glaring harshly.

"Not happened yet," he reminded them, "besides I could have been performing the counter curse."

He had a horrible feeling that he was going to be the villain in this story right until they realised he wasn't at the very end. People always blamed him. He mentally shrugged. He should be used to it by now.

"It wasn't him, Sirius," Harry murmured quietly. "Professor Snape has saved my life more times than I can count."

Ron grabbed the binoculars... ‘Leave it to me.’ 

"And just what were you going to do?" Minerva asked. She knew for a fact the girl hadn't come to her with her suspicions.

Hermione stared at her feet.

Before Ron could say another word... Marcus Flint seized the Quaffle and scored five times without anyone noticing.

"That slimy toad!" Several gryffindors complained.

‘Come on, Hermione... she knocked Professor Quirrell headfirst into the row in front.

Moody sat forward at that. Why was that mentioned? Was it just a random piece of information? Or something more sinister? It wouldn't make sense for Potter to sit here comfortably with someone who'd tried to kill him, would it... What if...?

Reaching Snape... on to the hem of Snape’s robes.

"You set your teacher on fire?" Minerva whispered. She could not believe the things she was hearing in this story. "Miss Granger, how -"

"I thought he was cursing Harry," she said belligerently.

"Then come to a teacher," Minerva said coldly. She was trying very hard not to lose her temper.

"And in the meantime, Harry could be dead." Hermione crossed her arms in front of her chest. "You were there, but you did nothing. Flitwick was there, he didn't do anything either. There were other teachers present. Madam Hooch... No one was doing anything!"

Severus wasn't sure how he felt about the fact one of his students had actually set fire to his clothing. He couldn't decide to reward her for being sneaky or chastise her for being so disrespectful. He could certainly appreciate the loyalty to her friend.

It took perhaps thirty seconds... A sudden yelp told her she had done her job.

"I do not yelp," Severus said with a glare.

"No professor. Of course not," she said, shaking her head, fear clear in her eyes.

"As long as you are aware of that fact," Severus said snidely.

Scooping the fire off him into a little jar... – Snape would never know what had happened. 

"Oh, how wrong you are, Miss Granger," Severus said.

It was enough... as though he was about to be sick

"Oh now what?" Sirius looked honestly petrified.

– he hit the pitch on all fours –... the game ended in complete confusion. 

"Well done, Harry!" Sirius said, hugging his godson closely.

‘He didn’t catch it, he nearly swallowed it,’...  ‘Why would Snape do somethin’ like that?’

"Thank you, Hagrid," Severus smiled at the half-giant. But Hagrid looked torn. He didn't know what to make of the deatheater. He'd killed Albus, after all.

"Right, yeah, well..." Hagrid huffed.

Severus blinked, feeling a little hurt by Hagrid's clear discomfort.

Harry, Ron and Hermione... he was trying to steal whatever it’s guarding.’

"It could be someone else," Moody said. "I'd be careful not to run away with the idea."

Hagrid dropped the teapot... ‘But Snape’s trying to steal it.’ 

"I would never," Severus said seriously. "I have no desire to..."

He paused when he noticed that Potter was shaking his head. Ah, he didn't want them all to know the truth too soon. Probably wanted to see if anyone would guess what was hidden in the school. Or if they could work out who was actually trying to steal it.

‘Rubbish,’ said Hagrid again... Snape wasn’t blinking at all, I saw him!’

"Same rules apply for most counters," Lucius said gently.

‘I’m tellin’ yeh, yer wrong!’ said Hagrid hotly... Nicolas Flamel –’ 

"Oh, no!" Sirius got to his feet. "Tell me right now, you did not place the philosopher's stone in Hogwarts!"

The teachers remained quiet.

"Have you lost your minds?" Sirius began pacing. "You are educators! Not Gringotts Goblins hoarding treasure! What game are you playing Albus? Risking the lives of your students like this?"

‘Aha!’ said Harry... Hagrid looked furious with himself.

"Oh Hagrid," Minerva said with a sigh. No wonder Potter knew so much about the stone.

"Don't Oh Hagrid him!" Sirius bellowed. "You should have known better Minerva! Hogwarts is a school. First and foremost, your job is to protect and educate the students within its walls. Not house ancient artifacts that every criminal would want to get their hands on. That's just asking for trouble."

"I still want to know why the aurors were not informed," Amelia said. "I have not had an answer. A student nearly died. What sort of investigation was there?"

The teachers glanced between each other.

"You have nothing to say?" Amelia pressed. "Should I presume that means no investigation was held? Then I have to inform you that I will be looking very closely into how the school is run and all of your jobs will be at risk. I do not like what I am hearing."

"The ministry has no..." Albus began.

"I'm getting fed up of hearing that, Albus," Amelia said. "If I have to, I will start a boycott among the Lords and Ladies of the great houses, then there will be no Hogwarts."

Notes:

So what do you think...???? Tell me just how much you love Madam Bones right now? Plus how great is it seeing Harry have an actual parental figure stand up for him?

[momo-t-daye]

9, 13, 24 - for both Sirius and Severus!

9. Scene that first made me love (or hate) the character (in canon)

For Sirius, I think the scene in OotP where he, as Padfoot, accompanies Harry et al. to King’s Cross Station and tries to cheer Harry up by chasing his tail and pigeons and cats really stands out.  I like how much Sirius can cheer Harry up and the efforts Sirius went to in order to see Harry (even if his early Grim-esque appearances seemed ominous on the first read), and how much they both really would’ve liked to be a proper family.

For Severus, golly, he’s got more scenes and many of them excellent!  Showing up behind Ron and Harry after they crash into the Whomping Willow is great, as is disarming Lockhart in the Dueling Club.  Showing Fudge the Dark Mark, that’s also a major favorite scene and glimpse of Severus’ character (rather than his act).

13. Dumbest thing they’ve ever done (in canon)

Sirius’ attempts to get into Gryffindor in pursuit of Peter (slashing the Fat Lady and showing up over Ron’s bed with a knife) were pretty badly thought out, he did not behave at all like an innocent man, he really leaned into the “escaped mass murderer” role there.

For Severus, hm… in some ways I think how he reacted to the Marauder’s Map insulting him by bringing Lupin in was not well thought out on Sev’s part.  Not only does Lupin get away with the map, Remus manages to get the better of him in front of Harry AND manages to get Harry to feel bad about going to Hogsmeade (which was what Severus was trying to do).

24. Most annoying habit (headcanon; not based on past roommates)

Sirius Black is a morning person.

He is also a trained flautist (he couldn’t be trusted not to hit his brother with a violin, but a musical education is expected for a son of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black).  It took him all of five minutes to coax the sounds of liquid flatulence out of a trumpet in his first year at Hogwarts.  Even when his friends schemed to dispose of the trumpet (the only times James Potter purposefully conspired against Sirius Black), Sirius comes from a family with resources and procuring another instrument was simplicity itself.

No amount of careful reasoning, desperate pleading, hexing, destruction of instruments, threats of bodily harm, etc. has yet managed to convince him that 4:32 AM is NOT a good time to unleash the noise pretzel upon the still slumbering.

This is not because Sirius is dense or incapable of seeing sense or insensitive to other points of view.  No, rather, it is because tooting the bad cone at ungodly hours has become a bit, a comedy routine, a running joke. If he has a good bit going, he’s never letting it go.

Severus Snape drinks directly from the milk bottle/orange juice carton/etc. (he also eats potions ingredients from the jar but those, at least, aren’t for shared consumption).

He excuses himself in the name of brutal efficiency and time optimization (dishes are a futile and Sisyphean task).

Worst of all?

He puts the container that is 99.49% empty back in the fridge.

An Impossible Task

An Impossible Task https://ift.tt/y50ZtY2 by nurantarenendurath In his sixth Hogwarts year, Draco Malfoy finds himself confronted with the seemingly impossible task of killing Albus Dumbledore and also letting the Death Eaters infiltrate the school. For this he has to use the Room of Requirements, but unfortunately it is up on the sixth floor, where there are always annoying warding spirits ensuring the silence on the floor for the Arithmancy students on the same floor. He has no choice but to pick up the subject as well to get access to the floor. But of course one certain Gryffindor takes the subject as well and to Dracos displeasure, she also might be his only way to hold his position in the higher class of Arithmancy.

Pairing: James Potter/Lily Evans

Summary: five times James surprises Lily and one time she surprises him

1.

Lily hadn’t been having a great day. She had seen her ex friend Severus Snape who now openly called her a mudblood and had been doing so since fifth year. She really hoped she could find something to get her mind off how much people like him annoyed her.

She walked into the Gryffindor Common Room to see a group of students of all years watching something on the other side of the room. She walked more into the room to see the one and only James Potter.

She thought to herself as she huffed, ‘what is he doing now?’

She watched him for a moment when she realised all the students looking at him were completely silent, which wasn’t surprising. James Potter could hold a lot of people's attention, but had never truly held Lily’s before.

She heard him talking. He was telling a story and entertaining the first years with Sirius and Remus helping him.

She made sure to stay at the back of the room as she kept watching. She was surprised by how he cared about those around him and making sure they were all entertained.

2.

Lily had been walking through the halls when she heard the sounds of someone crying. She followed the sound, wanting to help whoever it was. When she was close enough to see who it was, she saw it was a first year, but they weren’t alone.

No, sitting with them was James Potter.

He sat quietly as the student was talking to him.

She wanted to move but James was facing the way she would walk in. She really wanted to help, but was in awe of watching him with the child. He was so tender and sweet.

He gave the child some really good advice. Watching all of this unfold, she was pleasantly surprised to see how good he was with children and making sure they were happy. He was very understanding towards them.

3.

Lily felt the need to study and the best place to do so was in the library, where it was quiet and the perfect atmosphere for studying. She walked in there and over to where she normally studied.

When she got to her usual table, she saw James Potter sitting there looking a bit stressed about something.

“James,” she said quietly to try and get his attention. No luck, didn’t move at all.

“James,” she tried again a little louder, but got the same result.

“Potter,” she used the same volume as just before, and this time he looked up at her.

“Evans, what are you doing here?”

“I came here to study, but you seem to be having trouble. What are you studying?”

He nodded to what she was saying before responding, “Potions. I’m horrible at it and I don’t understand this current assignment.”

Lily’s eyes lit up. “I came down here to do that assignment. Would you like some help? I can help you as I do mine too.”

He let out a sigh of relief. “Really? You’re a lifesaver. I don’t understand any of it.”

She sat down in the seat next to him as she looked over what he had.

That’s how they spent the morning and that was the day that Lily was surprised about how studious James actually was. She helped him with any assignments and he helped her with any assignments or spells that she couldn’t understand or get the hang of.

4.

“Oi, Snivellus,” Lily heard James yell one day. “Why don’t you pick on someone your own size? You know, instead of third years who’re smaller than you.”

This got Lily’s attention and she went towards the commotion, when she got there James, Sirius and Remus were all standing in front of a third year, protecting them from not just Snape but other Slytherins as well, who seemed to be the one who was being bullied. She took a step closer and beckoned the third year over.

As the student ran over, she made sure that when Remus turned around that he knew the student was safe.

“Go to Professor McGonagall and tell her what’s happened,” she told them quietly. “And that Lily Evans sent you to her.”

With that, the student ran off and Lily joined next to Remus.

“Really? Four seventh years against one third year? How is that fair?”

She stood her ground alongside the three Marauders and against the seventh year Slytherins. The four Slytherins ended up with a months worth of detentions all to be had with Professor McGonagall.

That was the day Lily was surprised by James’ willingness to risk his own life to protect those in need and those who were being treated badly.

5.

Lily was rushing to class with her books and she ran into someone; meaning she dropped everything she’d been carrying.

“I’m sorry,” she said as she bent down to gather her things. “I’m running late to class and I wasn’t looking where I was going.”

She looked up as someone held two books she hadn’t picked up yet. She looked up and saw the face of James Potter smiling at her

“We have the same class, Evans,” he said. “So why don’t we walk together? I’ll carry the books and if anyone asks, I’ll take the blame for you being late, if it helps.”

He kept hold of the books and helped her up. This was the day she was surprised by how kind and helpful James Potter really is.

+1.

Lily had this all planned out.

Lily and her friends: Marlene, Dorcas and Mary had engaged the Marauders in conversation.

After a few minutes, she asked, “James, do you mind if I talk to you alone for a few minutes?”

When he responded with yes, she glanced over at Marlene, who winked at her before she walked alongside James until they were a little further away.

“James, I’ve noticed how much you’ve changed this year, or maybe you’ve always been this way and I’ve never been able to see it properly, but either way, I have something I wanted to ask.” As she kept talking, she started speaking faster because of her nerves.

“Lily, deep breaths and slow down, please,” James said, before he guided her in this. “Now, what is it you wanted?”

“James, I’ve noticed how much you’ve matured and how you care about others and I think I can safely ask, will you go out with me?”

“On a date?” He sounded surprised, which she guessed was going to be because he thought she didn’t like him, which had not been true. She just didn’t want to be with someone who was arrogant and treated people badly.

“Yes?”

“You want to go on a date with me?”

“Yes, James,” at this point her voice got a bit louder. “Will you, James Potter, go out on a date with me?”

“Yes. I’d love to.” He paused. “Is it alright if I kiss you now?”

“Yes.”

The moment he got that answer, he kissed Lily softly, before pulling away, and saying, “I promise you won’t be disappointed.”

She laughed before playfully pushing his shoulder, before they walked back to their friends together.

That was the day James was surprised by Lily asking him out. He had been completely oblivious to how her attitude towards him changed. He vowed to make sure she knew she made the right choice with him.

𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒔

full name: lily june potter nee evans. age: forty. date of birth: 30 january. star sign: aquarius. height: 5'7.5''. wand: 10 1/4'', willow, unicorn hair. patronus: doe. occupation: healer / doctor at evans practice.

𝒃𝒊𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒉𝒚

lily was born as the youngest daughter of two to muggle parents.

from a young age, one of her best friends was her eldest sister, petunia. however, this relationship would be permanently damaged once the truth of lily's nature was revealed to the evans family.

she became friends with severus snape who lived not far from her. he was the one who told her that she was a witch. he was the one who taught her all about hogwarts and the wizarding world. the more she learnt about it, the more excited she became.

at the age of eleven, lily departed for hogwarts where she was sorted into gryffindor.

she was quite intelligent and found herself especially skilled at potions, where she was invited into slughorn's club.

lily spent her schooling years taking her studies seriously and taking every moment she could to either learn something new or fine tune her skills.

during her final year at hogwarts, she finally agreed to go out with james potter, someone she found herself often annoyed with and at odds with.

after graduating hogwarts, she had attempted to heal her relationship with petunia but the gap between them was one petunia refused to cross.

shortly after and during the first wizarding war, a war that lily found herself being an active participant in, she fell pregnant with harry. she was both excited and terrified about bringing him into the middle of the conflict but she longed to be a mother.

with everything that had happened with the war and the longbottoms, lily took in neville and raised him like her own but made sure he never forgot about alice and frank.

following her experience during the first wizarding war, lily decided to become a healer / muggle doctor. she made the decision to open her own clinic, accepting both magical and non-magical clients. owning her own clinic meant that she could still help others but be super present in harry and neville's childhood.

lily would do anything for the people she cares about, whether that means comforting them or tearing down the person verbally that hurt them. she has also been known to have a temper when ignited, something she doesn't show often but it is there under the surface.
