A Brother's Helping Hand by GoldenBi

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Thorne & Rowling  | Albus Severus Potter/James Sirius Potter

James had snuck into Slytherin dozens of times since he’d been at Hogwarts. It wasn’t particularly difficult to get a password, Scorpius was always willing to give him the new one if he explained that he needed to see his brother. Scorpius always gave him such a hopeful look that James nearly felt guilty that he didn’t go there to talk to Albus. No, he only went to watch.

逆転裁判 | Gyakuten Saiban | Ace Attorney  | Garyuu Kirihito | Kristoph Gavin/Garyuu Kyouya | Klavier Gavin

Klavier hated his brother for everything he had done and couldn't believe he kept coming there. Maybe the idea of humiliating Kristoph was stimulating enough to make him coming back to him. He sometimes would leave his older brother on the edge to see him begging. To see Kristoph doing those sweet eyes and begging him to let him come. Or maybe the reason was to punish his older brother by getting him pregnant?

I can see right through you by KittyDaydreams

Superman - All Media Types  | Clark Kent/Martha Kent

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling  | Regulus Black/Sirius Black

“You’re a wreck, Siri,” Regulus said, cutting off Sirius’ thoughts instantly. His eyes roved over Sirius’ body, lips tipping up at the corners when he spotted the cooling come surrounding his navel, the hair leading to his cock stuck together and matted down. “Good dreams?” Regulus’ tone was mocking, if not sultry, and his eyes were glinting with mischief and delight at having caught Sirius in such a precarious situation, but Sirius refused to let him win. “I always dream of you, Reggie.” Written for Cestember, prompt 1: wet dreams

[carewyncromwell]

McGonagall 🤝 Carewyn

in memory of Maggie Smith...rest in peace, sweet queen

The Battle of Hogwarts was hard-fought. With how many casualties there had been and how much the school had been damaged, it was inevitable that it would take a very long time before things would be as they once were. If nothing else, those poor students who had had to start at Hogwarts the year the Death Eaters took over would have to pretty much start all over again from the Defense Against the Dark Arts and Muggle Studies perspective, since everything they'd learned from the Carrows was both completely useless and incorrect. And that wasn't even touching just how hard it would be for the student body to find contentment and peace again after such a traumatic school year.

Hogwarts needed strong leadership, if it hoped to get through such a difficult time. Fortunately the school was in very good hands, with Minerva McGonagall as its Headmistress. There was truly no one better to take charge in Carewyn Cromwell's mind that her old Deputy Headmistress.

"Phoenix ashes," Carewyn stated the password that she'd received in her most recent letter.

At once the gargoyle moved aside, allowing her access to the Headmistress's Office. As she climbed the stairs, the Ministry's star lawyer caught the sound of two familiar voices.

"...word to Kingsley on the matter?" asked a very dreamy, serene male voice.

"I daresay our new Minister will have more than enough on his plate at present," said a much crisper, sterner female voice, before she exhaled. "But yes, I suppose I will have to. It's hardly a wonder last NEWT season was so disheveled: some retesting will be inevitable, under the circumstances..."

As Carewyn reached the landing, she found tall, austere Minerva McGonagall standing at the far back left of the office, speaking to the portrait of her old friend and mentor, Albus Dumbledore. The Headmistress had her graying dark hair tied back in a very tight bun as always, and she was dressed in high-necked black and red tartan robes. She had her back to Carewyn when she entered, which meant that Dumbledore's portrait caught sight of the red-haired Slytherin alumnus first.

"Hello, Carewyn," he said with a bright twinkle in his painted eyes.

Carewyn's red lips came together tightly. It was the first time she'd seen Dumbledore's portrait in the office. The last time she'd seen the man himself was nearly a year prior to his death -- hell, even the last letter she'd received from him had come through a good two years ago now.

"...Hello, Professor," she said stiffly.

She turned to McGonagall and her expression relaxed, seeing the small smile touching the older woman's features.

"Hello, Miss Cromwell."

"It's been a while, Professor."

"Indeed it has," said McGonagall. "I believe this is the first time we’ve spoken since I visited your flat at the start of the War…"

Carewyn nodded. She glanced around the Headmistress's office — it hadn’t changed that dramatically since she’d been there last, but there were a few things that felt off. Obviously the portrait of Dumbledore was new; there were a few magical instruments that had been replaced on the many shelves. The thing that caught Carewyn's eye, however, was the empty roost which years before had hosted Dumbledore’s familiar, Fawkes the phoenix.

McGonagall followed Carewyn's gaze, and her expression grew a bit more solemn.

"Fawkes left Hogwarts the night Albus died," she said, her eyes flitting back to Dumbledore's portrait as he swept out of it and out of sight. "Neither I nor anyone else I know of has seen him since."

Carewyn bowed her head. "I daresay with how loyal he was to Dumbledore, Fawkes will mourn him longer than anyone else."

McGonagall sighed. "Yes..."

Her eyes behind her glasses appeared misty and dark — Carewyn could sense a wave of nostalgia coming off of her, as well as a Dumbledore-shaped shadow sweeping silently around the office they now occupied. Even so, as she crossed the room back over to her desk, the Headmistress walked with purpose and pride in her shoulders.

"I lament you were unable to pay your respects, after what happened," said McGonagall, "but I suppose the role you played for the Order would have been compromised by your attendance?"

Carewyn frowned uncomfortably as she looked away.

"My Legilimency has…made it more difficult for me to be in tight proximity with lots of people. And people in mourning, especially people I knew…it would've been a struggle to act detached from Bill and the others, in the midst of that. With Umbridge and Scrimgeour in attendance as potential witnesses, I couldn't risk that loss of composure, if I wanted them to think I wasn't aligned with the Order."

Her blue eyes darkened.

"…Even coming to Hogwarts, after the Battle…even when separated from everyone by walls, the emotions were so loud and painful that I could barely stand."

McGonagall’s face gained a bit more compassion. "I see…"

The Headmistress indicated the chair on the other side of her desk. Carewyn accepted the mute offer and sat down.

"Would you like some tea?" asked McGonagall.

"That'd be lovely, thank you."

The Headmistress waved her wand. In a moment, a teapot had bounced off of a nearby table with a newly formed pair of legs and up onto the desk, little splashes of tea spilling out the top as it went. Not far behind it came two teacups, also bounding up onto the desk in front of Carewyn and McGonagall, respectively. McGonagall let the teapot pour its own contents into their cups as she flipped open a lid on a box to reveal a batch of Ginger Newts, which she placed down between them so Carewyn could reach them.

"I did visit his tomb on my way in today, though," said Carewyn. She picked up her newly full cup with a quickly murmured "thank you" to the enchanted teapot. "Mum asked me to drop off some flowers, for her."

"Albus would've appreciated that," said McGonagall. "He always spoke fondly of Lane…and of you and Jacob, as well. He does as well," she added, indicating the empty frame of Dumbledore's portrait with a nod of her head.

Carewyn eyed the empty frame too, but more beadily. However fond he may have been of them, Dumbledore had still expelled Jacob in a misguided attempt to protect Hogwarts from R, and that was something that even now Carewyn couldn'’'t forgive.

“How is Jacob?” asked McGonagall more solemnly. "I know he suffered his fair share of loss in the final Battle."

"He's doing as well as he can,” Carewyn said, grateful for the caring. "As we all are, after everyone we've lost in this War…"

The faces of Tonks, Lupin, Amelia Bones, Mad-Eye Moody, Fred, and Dobby ran over her memory as she glanced around the office again, her eyes lingering on the many portraits hung up on the walls.

For a brief moment, Carewyn had wondered if there would’ve been another portrait added of the Headmaster who had taken charge of Hogwarts for most of the last term — but, she reminded herself, someone would likely have to actively choose to put a portrait of him in the office for him to be there. And she had trouble thinking of anyone who'd want to hang a portrait of Severus Snape on Hogwarts grounds, after everything…

McGonagall’s own expression had become rather sad as she folded her hands on her desk.

"I daresay it will be a long time before we fully heal from all the pain we have suffered. Before our whole World heals..."

Her face then grew more serious again.

"...Fortunately, from what I understand, we've started on the proper path towards that. Is it true you've accepted the role of Chief Prosecutor, for the Ministry's upcoming trials?"

Carewyn nodded. "Minister Shacklebolt offered the role to me this last Tuesday. There's still a lot of work to do before we start, but all of the suspects the Ministry seeks to try are already in custody, so at least we don't have to worry about them causing any further damage. All we have to do now is prove the extent of their crimes..." Her eyes hardened. "...And I intend to make sure they all face justice — every last one of them.”

"I have no doubt of that, Miss Cromwell." Something proud seemed to flicker across McGonagall’s features. "If there's one thing Barty Crouch did not have while pursuing justice against Voldemort's supporters, it was a strong moral compass…and that is something you've never lacked."

Carewyn wasn’t able to fight back the flinch at the Dark Lord’s name; even now that he was dead, he remained her greatest fear, and the habit of not using his name was hard to break. Even so, she smiled slightly.

"…I appreciate the support, Professor. It'll take time to give everyone a thorough trial, but there are some who it'll be far easier to try and convict quickly. Those captured after the Battle of Hogwarts, primarily — I would say there is little to no defense anyone could offer for the likes of Alecto and Amycus Carrow."

McGonagall scoffed. "I doubt those savage simpletons would see any reason to excuse their behavior, as opposed to justify it."

Carewyn snorted in agreement. "The Malfoys, on the other hand, might require more deliberation…particularly Narcissa." She took a sip of tea. "...Then there are those suspects who will undoubtedly claim innocence and coercion, whether it's true or not — Dolores Umbridge, for instance."

McGonagall gave a louder scoff than ever.

"Oh yes, I'm quite sure she'll try," she said spitefully. "I do hope your case will be robust enough to contradict that?"

"Don't worry," said Carewyn with a cold smile, "I have a large file of evidence against Umbridge, and it should be more than enough to condemn her. If you want to submit your own testimony as to her sadistic character, though, I'd be happy to include it in my prosecution," she added with a larger smirk.

"You may expect it by tomorrow," McGonagall said very coolly.

"Much obliged," Carewyn said with a grin.

She put down her cup of tea so she could fetch a Ginger Newt from the open tin. She took a bite, chewing slowly as she considered her next words.

"...Professor...may I ask your opinion on something?"

McGonagall raised her eyebrows. "You may certainly ask it. Though I must confess, I'm pleasantly surprised to hear you openly asking for advice."

"I don't intend to make a habit of it," Carewyn said with a light huff. Glancing away, she then admitted a bit more seriously, "...It's just...you've had to look after a lot of children as if they were yours, even if they weren't. And well...I find myself in the position that I might have to, as well."

McGonagall peered at Carewyn over her tea with interest. "Oh?"

Carewyn smiled uncomfortably, her eyes averted as she rested her hand holding the Ginger Newt on the desk.

"...I...want to foster a child," she confessed.

McGonagall blinked in surprise.

"His name is Erik Apollo," Carewyn explained. "He's one of the children I'm representing before the Wizengamot, demanding compensation. He was orphaned, cursed, and rounded up by the Muggle-Born Registration Commission during the War -- he only just barely avoided getting chucked into Azkaban, after Umbridge's trumped-up trial of him. He's twelve years old, set to start at Hogwarts this September as a first year. His home was wrecked and he has no other family. He needs somewhere stable to live in the Wizarding World, while he attends school..."

"And you wish to provide him that?" presumed McGonagall.

Carewyn nodded very firmly. "I do."

"Hm..." McGonagall's face had warmed significantly. "...Well, Miss Cromwell, I think that is a truly noble and generous thing for you to do. I would be happy to give you any counsel you wish."

She then smiled a bit more wryly.

"And I sincerely hope your new ward gets up to less trouble than you or your brother got up to, when he arrives here this September."

Carewyn laughed.

Another unpopular opinion about Albus:

I've seen people think of Albus as a character that is rude to all people(especially authority figures) except Scorpius. A character who swears(fuck you, fuck off, bitch, etc) at people, a person who offends everyone. Some people hate him for it, others think he's a badass. People think that Scorpius is the polite one in the relationship and Albus is the rude one.

Um... Excuse me....(Pun intended)

This is Albus in St Oswald. After seeing the complete and utter chaos, dude is still polite. People didn't listen to him after the first excuse me. Dude could've been absolutely rude about it. Instead he STILL went all excuse me.

When Albus meets Amos, even when Amos is hostile and insults Albus multiple times, Albus still remains pleasant.

Albus ain't the rude kid in the relationship. Both Albus AND Scorpius are polite ones.

When Albus and Delphi first met, Albus could've said "Fuck off. How dare you be at my house you tresspasser?" and it would be completely justified. When Delphi brings up Harry, fanon Albus would've been like "Fuck you I ain't my dad" and would've insulted Delphi in some way sarcastically(Canon Albus however simply said "Not really"). But he does neither of them. When Delphi mentions how kids teased her with her name, Albus emphatises her and says his own experience("They do all sorts with my name too").

The only person Albus is rude to is Harry(And he ain't rude to his dad until third year). And Rose during the train scene on fourth year. And during the library scene, Scorpius. That's it.

Fanfics make him aggressive towards Polly and Karl when they mock him(and when they don't as well). But..

Albus doesn't say anything canonically to them in response to the bullying. He just becomes sad. In the second picture, Albus literally tried to ignore them in favor of focusing on the potion.

When he does respond to others teases and taunts, it is in his third year.

I didn’t choose, you know that? I didn’t choose to be his son.

That ain't a snarky line.

When I first read Cursed Child, I theorized that Albus wouldn't snap back when he got bullied and would instead internalize it and bottle it all up. When summer arrived, Albus couldn't stand it and blew up Harry. In short, Harry is Albus' punching bag.(Kind of like how, in Trials of Apollo, Meg is against Caligula instead of Nero even when Nero was actually the abuser and Caligula didn't do anything, since it's easier(and safer) to hate Caligula. And how Apollo blames Zeus' abuse on his lightning bolts instead of Zeus himself. Bullying may not be as bad as abuse but the same logic applies here. Harry actually doesn't do any abusive actions until fourth year)

It is possible that Albus was simply rude to people(Harry did mention that Albus became "surly" at Hogwarts). But there aren't canonical examples to support this. If he were to be rude, I wouldn't say he's rude to authority figures(except Harry ofc). More likely, he took his anger out on a younger year. Or a random stranger. If he were to actually converse with them, I suppose he'd be polite.

Tldr: Albus is a polite kid. His rudeness is only for Harry. But he is the type of kid to lash out

[dark-elf-writes]

Oh man. I feel for Dumbledore in the idea he lost his sister years ago and now has another. Maybe Athena doesn't often have witch kids so he's not used to it but oh here is his new sister. And she is right in danger. Oof.

But he's also a dick so….

Ron just casually talking about being the descendants of Hermes, Apollo, Heaphutus, and so on. Hell, maybe its a flex in the wizarding world and its one thing he has over Malfoy and he never uses it because it doesn't occur to him but Malfoy knows and is so angry Ron wont play the same game, the ‘my family is better then you’ game.

Dumbledore is always such a weird figure to me because I can always see how he got to where he is but also can’t forgive the methods he took to get there. I’m feeling a very “Albus getting hit over the head with actual morality by children/teenagers/twenty somethings until it clicks” vibe for this au with a lot of guilt and regret on the side as he slowly starts to realize.

Malfoy would be so pissed about all of them having godly ancestors honestly. Particularly Hermione who is Athena’s actual child rather than a legacy. He’s even more mad when none if them will play his game of “my great great grandfather could beat up yours”.

Also that would mean Malfoy sr seeing Nico the named heir of a god and not just any god but one of the big three with his complete disinterest in tradition for traditions sake and muggle ideals and hitting next level amounts of envy and wrath.

[wanderingmind867]

I've got very picky book taste. I'm picky in many ways. I'm a picky eater, I'm picky about the stuff i'll watch, i'm picky about the video games i'll play, etc. But I want to focus on my taste in books for right now. I have criteria for what i'll read. Let me go find my book collection, and list some of the time i've read over the years. So let's just list the stuff I see, explain it, and then see if we both don't learn about me:

Percy Jackson and everything else Rick Riordan did (I have all of PJO, all of HOO, all of TKC, All of Magnus Chase, and I read the first three books of the Trials of Apollo. I gave up that series after Jason died, both because COVID took me away from school (where I did my best reading), and also because Jason's death devastated me).

Harry Potter (I loved these books as a kid. Or well, I loved Dumbledore and the teachers. The last book was too full of death and no school stuff, so I didn't like it. But the teachers at Hogwarts? I loved them. Albus Dumbledore and Gandalf are still the reason I love Wizards so much. I read Harry Potter nearly five times in a row, because those first 5-6 books were amazing. Now that I know about JK Rowling being a horrible human being... it's hard to engage. But I still do hold love for some of the characters. I just haven't reread the books in a long time).

The Lord of the Rings (I haven't read these since I was really young. But in Grade 2, I read these books. And I read them again once or twice after that. But I never did understand Tolkien's mythos. It's too complicated. I never quite understood who Sauron was, or why he was evil. And the Silmarillion was too dry to read. But I did read The Hobbit, as that EA who died recently gave it to me when I was young. So again, I could never quite grasp them. But I loved Gandalf. I still really, really love him).

The Chronicles of Narnia (In elementary school, a teacher gifted these books to me. A worn out collection of them all. I managed to read the first four books (The Magician's Nephew, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Horse and his Boy and Prince Caspian). But I couldn't get past the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Too many confusing ship terms. It lost me, and I never could get past it. So I only ever read those first four books. I ended up feeling content with that decision, though.

A Series of Unfortunate Events (I never did see the whole Netflix show, and I still never fully understood these books. I heard there were prequels, but I never read them. So these books were always very mysterious. The narrator always talks to the reader, randomly shoving in anecdotes about his tragic life. Confusing books. But they were also very fun. I remember there was a whole lot of great comedy in these books. A lot of depression and existensial stuff too, but I always preferred the comedy).

This is getting too long. Apparently I own too many books. So prepare for a part two. Maybe even a part three. I'll make those shortly. Then we can hopefully evaluate my reading taste, and figure out what I like and dislike.

wip snip

Thanks to @academicdisasterfic for tagging me in their laugh-out-loud-i'm-deceased wip snip (Bottoms x Drarry, swoon).

I'm in the middle of three things right now. There's The Big Thing (wip snip below, you can skip the rest of this paragraph if you want) that I needed a break from. I'm at the dreaded halfway point were plot lines need to start actually making sense, and wanted to clear the cobwebs by writing some fun little side fics. Under 5k. Sexy. Easy. Next thing I know, I'm 10k deep in a Dreville fic about them falling in love and a Drarry hookup piece that somehow has me researching the cult of Apollo, Ezekiel's descriptions of angels, the Green Man, and Beltane rituals. Like, can't everyone just f**k in peace?

Anyway, The Big Thing is a Wolfstar fic ---Aftermath of October 31, 1981, Remus gets Harry and, whoops, Regulus is alive and supposed to help him. They hate each other, but maybe they can get along well enough to break Sirius out of prison. Maybe.

Also f**k Dumbledore.

Opening bit:

“No.” Remus tries to close the door.  “Remus,” he says kindly, and it’s almost more than he can bear.  “Go away,” Remus grits out, pushing the door, and it won’t close. It won’t budge, and Dumbledore isn’t even holding it open on his side of the jamb. He didn’t say a spell either, the fucker, and the door is stuck open, unmoving, and nothing Remus does will change it unless Dumbledore wants it to change.  He realises in this moment that the door is a metaphor for his whole miserable life, stuck where Albus Dumbledore decides, but he can’t address that right now. It’s too much to contemplate after everything else, so he decides the least he can do is close the fucking door.  Remus throws his shoulder into it. He’s always strong, but his strength will increase as the frost moon approaches. His tall, lanky build belies the monster beneath.    “Remus,” Dumbledore says again quietly.  Remus ignores him and throws his shoulder into the door. The fucking door that won’t fucking close. He slams his shoulder into it so hard the frame rattles, grunting at the blow.  “Go away,” he growls. He feels it, the wolf inside. Always lurking but more insistent now. Since everything. “Go away!” Remus shouts and smashes into the door, almost splitting it. It hurts, but it feels good, too.  The damaged door still doesn’t move, and Remus is properly angry now. He’s been numb for days, ever since he found out…ever since…he squeezes his eyes closed and tries to shut out the memory of finding out about James and Lily and Peter. And— “No!” he bellows, and he’s about to give the door one great shove when, suddenly, he’s yanked back as if an invisible rope is attached to his spine. He scrabbles for purchase, trying to grab hold of the hall table or the reception archway. He can’t get a hand on anything before he finds himself deposited on a sagging floral sofa, sitting upright but unable to move, arms pinned to his sides.  Dumbledore glides into the room after him, and Remus can hear the front door close with an offensive little click. He tries to wriggle out of whatever invisible binds he’s in and can’t. His wand is in his back pocket, useless.  He scowls as Dumbledore sits in a chair across from him, elbows on his knees, hands clasped. His blue eyes are red-rimmed behind his half-moon glasses, and he’s wearing a Muggle suit—brown plaid print and a bit shabby, a bit too large on Dumbledore’s thin frame. And that’s when it hits Remus—All of this is true. It’s not some nightmare he’s lived in for the last five days like he keeps hoping.

Five days. He’s been cooped up here in Milton Keynes, waiting for five fucking days. His arrival triggered the mora protocol when he opened the door. The protocol that meant they were compromised and to stay put. Don’t move. The Order will be in touch. And finally, after five days, Frank Longbottom showed up, his big eyes sad, and his voice low. He’d told Remus what had happened, and it didn’t seem real. It couldn’t be real. It was all a big mistake. Someone had made a mistake.  But he’s immobile on an ugly floral sofa, and he knows. It’s all real, and it happened, and it’s still happening, and Albus Dumbledore is wearing a brown plaid Muggle suit, and Remus’s life as he knows it is over.

[sitp-recs]

Hello! I just saw you reblog that "hymn to apollo" fic and there was the background Drarry tag and....a new hyper fixation achieved!

Do you know, by any chance, other fics where Drarry is a background ship aka chill, happy, in love, tooth rottingly sweet, wise, no drama touches them?

Hi anon! That’s an interesting ask, I’m sure I’ve read many more but sadly I haven’t kept track of those. Here are some recs! Also linking the fabulous Hymn to Apollo. Enjoy!

Galvanize by @wolfpants (M, 1k) - Scorpius/Ron

At Albus’s sudden appearance, Mr Weasley’s hand falls from the back of Scorpius’s neck. He nudges Scorpius’s skinny bicep with a loose fist instead, leans in—thick, floppy red hair, freckled nose, white white teeth, big big smile, huge blue eyes, tall so tall—and winks at him.

Manner of Dress by @aibidil (T, 4.6k) - Ron/Cormac

Cormac wanted his leggings snug. He didn't want them this snug.

Green Light by iota_after_dark (E, 6k) - Ginny/Hermione

What if the best way to get over Ron was to get under Ginny?

Rogue Waves by @lqtraintracks (E, 6.5k) - Ginny/Pansy

A story of living with the trauma, fucking who you want, and maybe finding a little solace.

Dating Potters by @goldentruth813 and Mzuul (M, 7.7k) - Albus/Scorpius, James/Teddy, Harry/Draco

Scorpius and Albus have been together for awhile now and decide it's time to have a family dinner and come out to their fathers. What they're not counting on is the fact that they're not the only ones with secrets to share.

Winning in More Ways Than One by @thebooktopus (E, 8k) - Marcus/Oliver

Marcus and Oliver have always been at each other's throats, that much hasn't changed now that they're thirty and playing for the same team - in more ways than one.

That one time Ron attended Harry's party and didn't enjoy it at all by MelCalder (E, 8.5k) - Ron/Blaise

After his "break-up" with Hermione, Ron crashes at Harry's place and has to attend one of Harry's parties. He doesn't enjoy it all that much, until he does...

Two Quaffles Pub by @thistlecatfics (M, 9k) - Cho/Ginny

Witch Weekly’s Dating Tip #7: On a first date, stick to topics such as hobbies, family, and interests. Avoid topics such as the war, former lovers, and politics.

like the lost lyrics of a song suddenly remembered by @lqtraintracks (E, 11) - Teddy/James, Teddy/Bill

Teddy Lupin, aging rockstar, is making a comeback after his life and career were nearly ruined by an illegal potions habit. Everyone's out to support him tonight. Including the man he's always tried so hard not to love -- as well as the man he's always turned to instead.

Good Intent by @maesterchill (E, 12k) - Teddy/James

It all starts on the camping trip when James gets his dick out in the tent.

The Dragon Tamer & The Snake Slayer by @thebooktopus (E, 18k) - Charlie/Neville

Professor Neville Longbottom has an unfortunate crush on his newest colleague, Charlie Weasley. Charlie, who is pure magic personified, even in a wizarding world. Whose scars and laughter make Neville come undone. Charlie, who could never be interested in Neville... right?
