#The Order of the Wand

[majoresca]

There's a scene, which I know is supposed to be tragic and melancholic, you can feel it. But a part of me still finds it amusing without wanting to, is the My Evil Dreams scene.

Mainly, after I heard a version on YouTube, of how the members of the Order of the Wand were still listening to him sing and talk to himself.

What in Portuguese we call "other people's shame" = Vergonha Alheia.

Credits to those who created this POV, the objective of their work was successfully achieved. Mainly the painfully embarrassing feeling of hearing others talking about you in the other room, what a psychological horror. So may you be satisfied with what you brought into the world.

(Sorry guys, but you're going to have to bear with me on this one.)

Because I was imagining a very funny scenario for the members of the order:

Cedric - Look guys, I know it's an incredible opportunity we're having. And this has been my lifelong dream, but I need to go outside to get some air and… Have a musical number about my internal conflict, to make sure if that's what I'm going to do. So, if you don't mind, of course, I hope you understand. -Ah, cool, man, we'll wait for the number to finish. -One more thing, don't forget to warm up your voice beforehand, so as not to hurt your vocal cords. You'll need them for the evil laugh of victory!

Look, I know it's a musical, that everyone sings, that's Disney, suspension of disbelief and blah blah. I love musicals! That's why I'm here.

I just like being playful too, can you blame me?

i can't watch or read anything rn w/o immediately making it a gravity falls au. ✌️😔

(au + edit info below the cut)

On the day of his 18th birthday, Crown Prince William "Bill" Cipher of Euclydia is entrusted with the royal family's magic scepter, and almost immediately uses it to bring chaos to his future kingdom. After containing the worst of the damage, Bill's parents send him to Earth -- a place where magic is a far rarer and more closely guarded secret -- in hopes that he will learn the responsibility required of his position.

King Euclid and Queen Scalene secure a foster home for their son in the sleepy Pacific Northwest town of Gravity Falls, with the family of Stanford Pines (formerly Earth's ambassador to Euclydia, now missing and presumed dead.) There, something like friendship begins to blossom between Bill and the younger Pines twins, Dipper and Mabel. Before long, the three find themselves embroiled in inter-dimensional escapades, with consequences more far-reaching than any of them could have anticipated.

heavily edited from an existing svtfoe pic, included below. i'll probably do dipper & mabel edits and add them in to the poster later on!

Come here, if the wishing well near the castle is all about that "get what you want and lose what you have" vibe.

WHY DID NOBODY DISAPPEAR WITH THAT THING?

Close it with stones, put a wall around it, destroy it or at least hide it and put up a huge DANGER sign! DO NOT USE IT!

( King Stefan, Aurora's father, made a point of destroying ALL THE SPINNING WINDS IN HIS KINGDOM! No one would make any more fabric for at least sixteen years!They would have to spend buying fabric from outside the kingdom, or mending old rags all this time. And even so,Maleficent's magic created a spinning wheel that completed the curse.)

But what about the other wishing wells? Are they normal? Because they do not appear in a negative light in Enchancia's anthem, in fact, they are portrayed in a positive light. Therefore, demonstrating that only the wishing well in the possession of the royal family of Enchancia has this flaw in its operating conditions.

Headcanon:

The wishing well was sabotaged with evil magic, to harm the royal family that used it.

And those responsible for the corruption of the wishing well are conspirators against the crown, and are members of the Order of the Wand.

And that's why it's the only one with questionable functioning.

I even deduce that it was one of the first attempts by the Order of the Wand to weaken one of the kingdoms, to take power from the throne.

( I don't think it was Cedric who did this, even he has ethical limits. If he were the author, he would have done something unforgivable.)

But, I believe it must have been another magic user close enough to the family to know that Roland would use the well, perhaps even being the advisor himself who suggested the use of the magical artifact, being the author of its corruption.

Perhaps, the author didn't even need to be a magic user or be magical in the first place , just make a wish for the well to change its own magic.

So that it, in the fulfillment of wishes, now took as payment something that would be most missed by those who made their request.

In a kind of equivalent exchange: the author of the request to fulfill his own desires, would lose one of his most valuable possessions.

But why would anyone be interested in harming Roland and Lorelei's family?

To prevent the birth of new direct heirs to the throne.

Since Roland had already assumed the crown, Enchancia's official bloodline would b now traced from his children onwards. And not by his sister Tilly's heirs, as she had already abdicated the throne.

By killing the queen and the kids in childbirth, they would end the bloodline of the official crown of Enchancia . Or at least they would delay it enough, before the king remarried and have other children as heirs to the throne.

Since then, this would emotionally destabilize the king, to the point of weakening the kingdom consequently. It is easier then to carry out attempts to take the throne of Enchancia.

But, as only the queen Lorelei died during childbirth, leaving twin children Amber and James, this would put the king on alert for all users of magic and magical artifacts, making him more difficult to be tricked by members of the Order of the Wand.

So the Order of the Wand would have to wait for a more opportune moment, having to start over and change their strategies to resume plans to take the throne of Enchancia for themselfs.

I hear you around the castle from time to time, and wonder what it may be like to enjoy your company, join you in solving fun puzzles, what it may be like to kis- I mean talk to you

~Ominis Gaunt

My dear Ominis Gaunt,

It is rather flattering to know that you can recognize me just from the sound of my voice despite us never really talking in person. I am grateful that you wrote to me. I have only heard snippets of conversations regarding you but considering your family's history I never had a good reason to officially introduce myself.

If you don't mind me asking, I was always curious as to whether your wand is capable of detecting ghosts at all. I know that you could easily tell when one is near just from the sudden drop in temperature but since we cannot exactly collide does the spell consider me a threat worth notifying you?

Oh, am I hearing that you are as fond of puzzles as I am? I would love to have some company when I go adventuring! It does help when you have somebody with you who can actually touch things, move the puzzle pieces, turn book pages... You know what I mean.

As for, hmm, talking to me, I am sure we can figure something out~ What do you say? Want to go adventuring after lunch?

Awaiting your owl with all my heart,

Richard Jackdaw

Discogs classifies Wand as “Psychedelic Rock” (or “Stoner Rock”) and I guess that fits. (Why not? Categories and classifications are often pretty arbitrary, porous, and subject to alteration so I don’t take them all that seriously.) This track is from their 2015 album ‘Golem’. IMO, it’s the best track on that particular album. I hope you dig it you stranger you.

“Boh”

Summary: Maleficent Jadis rejects her Death Eater family and goes by a Muggle-sounding nickname, M.J.

House: Ravenclaw

Blood Status: Pureblood  

Wand: Wytch Elm, 11 inches, Thestral tail hair

Broom: Hates flying; prefers teleportation methods

Patronus: Crow

Specialties: Potions, Charms, Legilimancy, Occlumency, Numerology, magical drawing, teleportation, and her own spell: "Boh"  

Sorting:

The Jadis-Wandson family was not pleased to see Maleficent break family tradition and go into Ravenclaw. Largely lacking in the rest of her family's Slytherin ambition, M.J. drifts wherever her curiosities take her. She's extremely observant and perceptive, even compared to the rest of the Ravenclaw class. She hides and reveals her deductions with her dry wit. She excels at Potions, Numerology and Charms, but failed Muggle Studies miserably. Though noble and brave when necessary, M.J. is no Gryffindor. She's terrified of heights and doesn't even like flying, instead preferring Appiration (which she illegally mastered before beginning her first year—with some push from that Slytherin family, no doubt). Her fighting style is pragmatic, and while she cares about social justice, she tends to lack Peter's idealism. Ravenclaws are known to think outside the box, and if MJ isn’t a Goth Luna Lovegood, then I don't know what she is. Wand:

MJ’s favorite tree is the Wytch Elm, because of the famous murder. Due to her fascination with death, the Thestral hair core is no surprise. She sure that every wand she tried at Ollivander's "malfunctioned" until she got one the Gothest-looking stick in the store. But Ollivander always admired the most eccentric wand owners, and pegged this kid as a fellow Ravenclaw long before M.J. even considered that she might not go straight into Slytherin. For the rest of her school career, M.J. thought of Ollivander as an inspiration, and took joy in perplexing and creeping out her fellow classmates and professors with her eccentricities just as the old wandmaker did with his customers. "A Fusion of Luna Lovegood and Moaning Myrtle, with a dose of Bellatrix LeStrange!"

...is how M.J.'s classmates, and occasionally professors, described her, when they thought she wasn't listening, and wouldn't take it as a compliment. M.J. disdained her mother's family, the blood-purist Jadis house; but she outright disowned her father's, the infamous Wandsons (murderous dark wizards from the States). The Wandson family was closely related to the Blacks, hence M.J. sharing traits with her Aunt Bellatrix, Uncle Sirius, and cousin Nymphadora Tonks. Since all of her good relatives were dead, she tended to hang out with ghosts more than the living, at least until becoming friends with Peter and Ned. She regularly surprised her classmates by literally appearing out of thin air. She usually popped up to make dry, quippy observations over a copy of the Quibbler. She frequently interrupted Filch's detentions to draw moving, talking pictures of wizards in crisis.   By early second year, it was "kind of obvious" to MJ that Peter Parker was the Spider-Wizard. Shortly before this, she'd invented her first spell, at age twelve. That previous summer, M.J. had upset her family, by bluntly pointing out all of the reasons her cousin Delphi couldn't possibly be related to the Dark Lord. All of this, after brushing off her being dusted by Thanos and resurrected with a blasé pragmaticism. "Boh" It was during a class trip to Beauxbatons that M.J. casually showed Peter her new spell: "Boh." What does "Boh" do? It's a conjuring spell, that shoots any short-term need out of one's wand: fire, water, light, a forcefield, Bertie Bott's beans, you name it. The spell only lasts seconds, but it's a lifesaver in a pinch. "Boh" would go on to serve the group well when battling dark wizards like Mysterio. Obliviate! Even the most powerful Memory Charm, cast by the world's most powerful sorcerer, doesn't have 100% of a hold on M.J.'s mind. When a dweeb named Peter Parker enters the Leakey Cauldron and orders a butterbeer from her, M.J. knows instantly that she's seen him before, and there's something very significant about him. For some reason, she thinks of him whenever she casts "Boh."  

AN: I really enjoyed cooking up this backstory for Hogwarts M.J. I'm not thrilled with how "No Way Home" ended, but it worked perfectly into this Potterverse AU.
