our ragtag group of damaged children are the epitome of 'trouble'; and merlin's beard are we proud of it. nothing has ever felt so good as watching fucking filch fall flat on his face, or setting things on fire behind the herbology shed. our first few years of school are really just spent being kids, because for most of us, we never fucking got to. and then moldy voldy comes back, and draco's parents are death eaters, and so are blaise and pansy's, constantly trying to get them to join up, to fight 'for the cause.' so we all go off the rails. because who the hell is going to stop us? theo's our weed hookup, only to find out he's in love with some random hufflepuff, jaden, and helps him grow the shit. he never lives it down. draco and blaise sneak in so much fire whiskey at the beginning of school in fifth year that we could get drunk every night for three months. but don't worry; we moderate ourselves... mostly. mattheo always has the best cigarettes, thank the gods, and pansy can get her hands on any drug we want, something mattheo utilizes a bit too much for a time. we all fight a lot, but if you fuck with one of us... oh, you'd better pray to every god you've never heard of. no one fucks with my friends but me. and, unfortunately, that extends to my brother's friends, too, because we can't have the great harry potter getting sad, now can we? plus, if he gets upset, draco turns into a fucking prick, because at some point he started shagging my brother, the little fucking traitor.

₊˚⊹⋆ || harry and i

in fourth and fifth year, sneak out almost every night, much to harry's chagrin. because merlin fucking forbid 'the boy who lived' is slightly upset on fucking occasion. he can kiss my ass for all i care, and i've told him so. i spent our entire childhoods protecting him from the worst of everything, from the most disgusting parts of vernon and petunia, and he thinks he has the right to tell me how to live my life? but all in all, in the end of everything, harry is the reason i get clean, and sober, and straight. because he needs someone fighting by his side in this goddamn war. does it fuck things up with mattheo for a while? of course it does, because he's still processing trauma that isn't even his, yet he's had to take that and everything else on, on top of finding out that his father is voldemort. he takes a lot longer to clean up his act, but for me, losing sirius is all it takes to set me straight. i can drink after i kill bellatrix lestrange. and as much as i resent harry for things he never did, i love him more than i've ever loved anything. i would burn the world down for him; it took theo taking my wand, plus mattheo, raven, blaise, pansy, and draco holding me down when hagrid carried harry's 'body' to hogwarts before the battle to stop me from charging the entirety of the death eaters. i would have, too, and i would have used whatever unforgiveable curses i needed to avenge my brother. my brother. gods, he's an idiot, but he's my fucking idiot, and no one but me hurts him and gets away with it.

THE HOGWARTS CLASS OF 1978 - pt 27

EMMELINE VANCE

Name - Emmeline Vance

Blood status - Halfblood

Date of Birth - 26th August 1960

House - Ravenclaw

Academic achievements - Prefect, Part of the Slug Club

She fought in both wars and was killed after being sold out by her own side. She left behind her Muggle wife and step daughter

Canon

Was apart of the first and second Order of the Phoenix and the Advanced Guard

Was killed by Death Eaters near where the Prime Minister lived during the second war during the second week of July 1996

Her death was considered a significant and devastating loss for the Order and her murder was published in Muggle newspapers most likely because of the place of her murder being so close to the Prime Minister

Severus Snape claimed to have given information to Voldemort that led to Emmelines death

Headcanon

Pansexual

Her patronus was a robin

Her boggart was letting herself be corrupt with magic

Her middle name was Grace

Was the older sister to Finn and Jude Vance

Grew up in Birmingham

Her father, Patrick never told her mother, Rebecca that he was a wizard after he found out during their third date that witchcraft scared her. He knew that the right thing to do was either come clean there and then or cut things off but he had already fallen in love and was scared of her leaving. In the end he decided to keep it a secret and live the rest of his life as a Muggle for her

When they had Emmeline and her brothers, Patrick had hoped that they had been Squibs but by the time Emmeline was 5 it was becoming clear that she was a witch

Eventually Patrick had to come clean and tell Rebecca the truth hoping that her love would be greater than her fear but unfortunately he was wrong. Rebecca left that night and took all of her belongings with her, ignoring her children's quiet voices as they asked her where she was going

All Emmeline’s mother left was a polaroid camera which Emmeline kept and took with her almost everywhere. Nobody was allowed to touch her camera a part from her brothers but even their time with it she would limit out of fear of them breaking it

Emmeline grew up in Birmingham, England. Her father was studying to become a teacher before her mother left but after she was gone he decided to go back to the wizarding world and got a job as an independent tattoo artist. It was something he always wanted to do growing up and decided to give it a go while he was reimagining his life. His business was a success and he managed to earn more then he ever would as a Muggle teacher

Emmeline adored her father but she longed for her mother. The fact that her reasoning for leaving was because of magic made her resent it in some way. She fantasised about a alternate life where she was never a witch and could live happily with her family all together

Emmeline, Finn and Jude all still went to a Muggle primary school because their father wanted them to stay somewhat like their mothers children. Even after she abandoned them he still loved her

One time when Emmeline was 8 all of the girls in her class began coming into school with their hair in braids and not wanting to feel left out Emmeline asked her dad if he could braid her hair. When he attempted to the next morning it was awful but Emmeline didn’t care and went into school with it like that anyway, proud of her dad for trying. That morning all of the girls made fun of her for how her hair looked and her teachers made her take it out and brush it again because it didn't look “presentable.” Emmeline burst out crying when her dad asked her what happened to her hair when he picked her up

Finn had seen all of this happen and the next day went to the girls in his class and asked them to teach him how to braid hair. The next morning he surprised Emmeline by braiding her hair almost perfectly (one of the girls had given him one of their dolls for him to practise on) and from then on Finn would always braid Emmeline’s hair for her

Emmleine didn’t grow up knowing any magical kids so when she started Hogwarts she was all alone and was too scared to ask anyone if she could sit with them

Aurora Sinistra found her standing by herself outside of her compartment and invited her to come in

Emmeline accepted and there she met Emma Vanity, Septima Vector, and Florence Greengrass who were all sharing the compartment with Aurora

Emmeline didn’t talk much during the train ride unless she was spoken to but near the end had come out of her shell a little more as the girls were able to settle all of her worries that she originally had about the school

During the sorting ceremony the Sorting Hat had no problem putting her in Ravenclaw. She wasn’t surprised as her father told her before leaving that she came from a family of Ravenclaws

Emmeline spent the majority of the start of term feast having small talk with her other fellow Ravenclaw first years and Millicent Bagnold, who had recently became one of Ravenclaw’s prefects. Aurora and Septima also moved their seats down to sit next to her during the feast and welcome her into their house

On the first night Emmeline and her other Ravenclaws, Marlene McKinnon, Hestia Jones, Sybill Trelawney, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Gilderoy Lockheart and Alexander Steddings, all sat together on the floor by the fire and played 21 questions as some of the older students occasionally came over to introduce themselves

The relationship between the Ravenclaws of the class of 1978 was always a tricky one. They all acted like cousins who couldn’t stand each other during Easter but loved each other during Christmas. They got into arguments frequently and Flickwick would often have to gather them all in his office to talk things out

One time in their second year, during a potions lesson things got so heated between the 7 of them that spells started shooting and as punishment Flitwick made them all do team building exercises for an entire Saturday afternoon

Emmeline herself didn’t really find a problem with her classmates. She respected Kingsley and Alexander, she loved having conversations with Sybill and as annoying as he was Gilderoy made her laugh a lot (even if it wasn’t intentional) Hestia had always been a sore subject but she didn’t hate the girl. And Marlene was and always will be Emmeline’s literal soulmate

The love Emmeline had for Marlene she will never have for anyone ever in her life. The two of them were twin flames, two peas in a pod, the strawberries to her cream, inseparable and above all, best friends

The majority of the time, Emmeline’s involvement in the Ravenclaws arguments was her blindly taking Marlene’s side no matter what

There were many people at Hogwarts who thought that Marlene and Emmeline were dating until Marlene started dating Dorcas Meadows in their sixth year. Although Emmeline was Marlene's first kiss and they did lose their virginity to each other in their fifth year

The only problem with Marlene (and it was only a tiny tiny small problem) was that Marlene despised Hestia and Hestia despised Marlene. Therefore the girls' dorm room always seemed a bit divided. Emmeline and Marlene on one side and Sybill and Hestia on the other

Now, if Emmeline had had her pick of course she would have chosen for everyone to get along as that’s just who she was. But, no matter what she would always pick Marlene. It could be them against the world and she wouldn’t even think twice

Emmeline became somewhat of a social butterfly during her times at Hogwarts. She soon became her years “IT girl” although she never actually knew that herself

She only thought it was manners, saying hello to your classmates and asking if they’re alright, making sure that someone wasn’t feeling left out, offering sweets to someone as a way to extend a hand in friendship, but soon it was becoming clear that Emmeline seemed to be friends with everyone

She wasn’t friends with everyone of course. Her real friends (outside of her own house) consisted of Lily Evans, Frank Longbottom, Pandora Lovegood and Benjy Fenwick

Pandora she met through Marlene (as at this point she wasn’t just comfortable around people she didn’t know yet)

Emmeline met Lily Evans properly during the summer of 1975, right before their fifth year at Hogwarts

Emmeline had known of Lily beforehand and knew her to have mutual friends but they had never had a conversation 1 on 1

They met while both of their families were visiting Diagon Alley in the late June and started talking

In early July Lily invited Emmeline to one of her sisters friends house parties and white there they kissed for the first time

Long story short they had a summer fling

When school started back up again in September Lily was hoping for them to be in a relationship but Emmeline was confused about her sexuality. She thought there were only two options, gay or straight, and she knew that she was attracted to men so thought of her feelings for Lily as nothing but a phase. So when Lily asked her out she turned her down

Her feelings for Lily eventually faded and they remained friends but not seeing what could've happened with Lily would always be one of Emmelines biggest regrets. She didn't start exploring her sexuality more until after the war

Emmeline also met Edgar Bones through Marlene when she was in her first year and he was in his second

Emmeline had always found Edgar attractive but for the first two years of knowing him brushed it off hoping she'd grow out of it

During these two years Edgar would try to make Emmeline comfortable by trying to joke around with her

Emmeline started to realise her true feelings for Edgar during her sixth year when she ran into him on her way to Marlene's house on Christmas eve. He had just gotten into an argument with his parents and left his grandparents house early, but was locked out of his own house. Seeing how upset he was, Emmeline stayed with him and he opened up to her about his problems with his family and expectations. In return, Emmeline told him about her own problems with her mother

Eventually Amelia Bones showed up and took over in comforting Edgar and Emmeline continued her journey to the McKinnons

The first thing Emmeline told Marlene when she walked through the door was that she was in love with Edgar

During her sixth year and his seventh Edgar came up with the theory that he only catches the snitch during games where Emmeline was present and even made a table of the games he played the year before as evidence for this theory. He therefore stated calling Emmeline his lucky charm and insisted that she had to go to all of his games so he could win

Because his theory started to seem true Marlene banned Emmeline from going to the finale Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff in 1977. However, during that game Marlene fell off her broom and suffered a career ending injury (it turns out that Emmeine was Marlene's lucky charm and not Edgars)

While Emmeline and Edgar were both waiting to see Marlene in the hospital wing they confessed their feelings for each other and kissed. When Emmeline made a joking comment about how they were making out while Marlene was in the hospital Edgar replied with how Marlene was probably all over Dorcas in that moment so it was only fair that they got to kiss also

When they got to see Marlene and told her that they had kissed she said that it was the only thing that made her feel better (she was mostly just happy that she didn't have to keep the secrets of them liking each other anymore)

When Edgar left Hogwarts and joined the Auror training program they stayed together throughout Emmelines last year at Hogwarts and kept in touch by sending letters to each other and meeting up during Hogsmead weekends

Before we get to the depressing shit here's some random headcanons

Her favourite drink was hot chocolate

For her 16th birthday Benjy got her a record player but she could never trust herself to not scratch the vinyl so she would get Marlene to turn it on for her

Emmeline was considered tall when she was younger but by the time fourth year came around everyone seemed to have overtaken her in height. She said that the day she realised Marlene was taller then her was the worst day of her life

Emmeline and her family loved Muggle sports, particularly football. They supported Aston Villa and one time wore her Villa shirt to a Quidditch match just to piss off Marlene

During their seventh year Marlene and Emmeline decided to play matchmakers and tried to get Tommy (Marlene's younger brother) and Jude together. (and it worked, though Tommy and Jude would always deny that their sisters had anything to do with it)

Marlene once convinced Emmeline to read Little Women but Emmeline never finished it. When Beth died Emmeline threw the book across the room and vowed never to read a book again

She would send little handwritten notes to people via magical paper robins

She would always say she didn't want children but really she just didn't want to get pregnant

She was scared of clowns

She was incapable of having a casual drink. It was either all or nothing

She would call people “dude” and “bro” unironically

Whenever she played Quidditch for fun she would play as seeker

She had the messiest handwriting ever

She and Edgar had many museum dates even though neither of them knew anything about art

When Emmeline graduated she started a healing internship at St Mungos

She later joined the Order of The Phoenix

While with the order she became their unofficially healer and would always be the one people turned to when they needed medical attention

Whenever Edgar was at St Mungos and needed taking care of he would always insist that it was Emmeline to do it despite the fact that she was only a trainee. He did this for two reasons, 1) because he was usually in a lot of pain and trusted her and wanted her close and 2) so that she had the opportunity to prove herself infront of her superiors

Eventually everyone else in the Order started to do the same and would only want to be treated by Emmeline if they were ever in St Mungos. It got to the point where once Sirius Black created a scene at Mungos demanding to be seen by Emmeline without realising that Emmeline was in the bed next to him being treated herself

One time for a mission Emmeline was paired up with Sirius to be a lookout for any suspicious behaviour in a town where suspected Death Eaters were living. They were on the stakeout for 24 hours and in that time they managed to 1) Emmeline taught Sirius how to use her camera 2) Sirius told literally everything he loved about Remus 3) They layed 5 games of wizard chess (which neither of them was good at) 4) Sirius had convinced Emmeline to start listening to Queen by continuously singing Don't Stop Me Now and 5) When Emmeline fell asleep Sirius tried to see how many objects he could place on her without waking her up

When Marlene was killed on the 14th July 1981 with her family Edga made sure that he told Emmeline first (as he was the one who found them)

Marlene's death was the hardest thing Emmeline had every had to go through. She shut down completely for a while and only came back to her senses after talking to Benjy about it

During the McKinnon's funeral Emmeline got really drunk and refused to leave the wake, because once the funeral was over that meant that Marlene's death isn't “new” anymore and she really did have to go on without her best friend

During the war and especially this time Edgar started drinking as an escape and would go in and out of himself a lot. He would go from drowning himself in work trying to end the war to drinking and locking himself in his room when things got too much

On the 2nd of September 1981 Jude, Finn and their dad attended the Sunderland v Aston Villa football game. Death Eaters attacked the stadium during half time and all three of them died along with 7 other wizards who were there and 20 muggles were killed

The next day, after a week-long mission, Edgar was found barely alive with Fabian and Gideon Prewett. The Prewett twins were both already gone by the time they were found

Emmeline was settling into her new room in the Orders headquarters when she was called into St Mungos, before Edgar even woke up

Emmeline didn't even have any time to begin mourning her father and brothers before she had to comfort Edgar over not only the large amount of pain he was in but also the death of his two best friends. Emmeline was also given the task of having to tell the Prewett family that Fabian and Gideon were both dead (as the families were contacted and told that only one of the three survived, but wouldn't tell them who lived until they were stable)

Emmeline decided not to tell Edgar about her family's death but he eventually found out quickly when Dumbledore mentioned it to him

From then on it was a constant back and forth between them of trying to look after each other while not falling apart themselves

Edgars drinking was getting worse by the day and Emmeline was pulling her hair out by the fact that she couldn't just fix it

When they started taking their grief out on each other, Emmeline decided that they both needed a break from each other at least until the war was over. Edgar didn't want to break up but agreed

They both were under the impression that they would eventually get back together

Neither of them took the break up well and in late September 1981 Edgar told Emmeline that a week before he had gotten too drunk and slept with a Muggle women called Elizabeth who he got pregnant

Edgar also told her that she was currently staying in one of the Order's safe houses while she decided if she wanted to keep it or not. He had decided that if she wanted to keep it he wouldn’t leave her to raise their child alone

Emmeline didn't know how to feel, but she still loved him and she knew that he still loved her. They both wanted to make it work, so she was willing to try. They just had to wait until the war was over

A few weeks later word got out about Elizabeth to the death eaters and they attacked her house, Elizabeth saw them coming and called Edgar before she was killed. Edgar rushed to the house but the Death Eaters were waiting for him. He was killed before he could even fully open the door

Sirius was the one to pull the short straw and was the one to tell Emmeline. She was the last in the Order to be told

After Emmeline is told she goes to the Bones house to check on Amelia. When she gets there Amelia (who is very upset and angry) lashed out on her and told Emmeline that it's her fault that Edgar died because if she didn't break up with him then Edgar would've never slept with Elizabeth and he wouldn't have died

(Really Amelia knows that it's unfair to blame Emmeline when she's grieving just as much but she just lost her twin brother so cut her some slack)

Emmeline took Amelia's words to heart and ended up blaming herself for his death

When the war ended Emmeline went to the Leaky Caldron to “celebrate”

By now her training at St Mugos had finished (she had finished early due to her part in the war) and she was given until the New Year off before she started properly

On the 23rd of December 1981 Emmeline went for drinks with Pandora, Kingsley, Hestia and Xenophillius where Emmeline and Hestia got into an argument about the war

On the 1st of January 1982 Dumbledore asked Emmeline to meet him to ask her two favours. One being to look after Remus after the full moon (because she is a talented healer and a familiar face (this was also the first time Emmeline was told about Remus being a werewolf she didn't know before) and to spend some time with Snape and keep an eye on him to either make sure that he doesn't turn back to the death eaters or to make him feel more welcomed on their side

Emmeline agrees to both of them and starts to spend more time with Snape and Remus

Remus allowed Emmeline to heal him but didn't really try to become friends with her

Snape had already known that Dumbledore was going to send someone to monitor him before Emmeline had showed up at his door. They had a quick conversation which ended short when Emmeline called bullshit on his excuse for joining the Death Eaters

Snape told her that if she wanted to leave and not see him that he wouldn't tell Dumbledore. So Emmeline leaves and doesn't contact him again until 1984

Remus eventually started warming up to Emmeline and the two began to become friends

During that time Emmeline also started seeing a therapist

She had major trauma when it came to being in the hospital. By the end of the war she had forgotten that being a mediwitch used to be what she wanted to do for a career and not just a side gig while the war was on

Being in St Mungos reminded her too much of the war and she was beginning to realise that she had lost her passion that she once had. The only reason why she stayed was because she didn't have a backup plan

In 1984 Frank went missing and Alice showed up at Emmelines door asking for help. Along with Kingsley and Remus, Emmeline suggested going to Snape to see if he knew anything. Snape told them that he knew where Bellatrix was currently staying but when Alice said that they should go straight away they all tried to convince her to sleep on it and let them get more information

Alice did not listen and while everyone was sleeping she left to go after Frank

Emmeline, Kingsley, Remus and Snape all went to Bellatrix’s once they realised she was gone but by then it was too late and Frank and Alice were already gone

Also in 1983 Emmeline attended Pandora and Xenophillius wedding

While there she ran into Amelia, who was the maid of honour

Amelia did end up apologising for what she said after Edgar died and told Emmeline that it wasn’t her fault but even though Emmeline does forgive Amelia she doesn't forgive herself and continues to blame herself for Edgars death until the day she dies

During the wedding is also when they find out that Barty Crouch Jr was part of the group of Death Eaters to torture Frank and Alice

In December 1986 Dumbledore contacted Emmeline, Remus, Severus and Gilderoy and asked them to do a mission for him in New York. They all reluctantly agree

On the 30th of January 1987 they all move to New York and start living together in an apartment in Brooklyn

The American Minister of Magic feared that a similar uprising as Voldemorts may be happening behind the scenes in the MACUSA and their mission was to help prevent it

Bunch of shit happens over this year including them all meeting an American Warlock and helping him save a village from werewolves. The night before they succeed in helping the warlock, Emmeline receives a letter from Pandora telling her about the Horcruxes and Regulus’ plan. In Pandora’s letter she tells Emmeline that she’s beginning her trial and error run for a spell that can destroy the Horcrux and is telling Emmeline in case something goes wrong and Emmeline has to finish the job for her. Emmeline burns the letter as instructed to and after they save the village Gildeory obliviates all of them, erasing Emmelines memory of the letter

While in New York Emmeline also ran into Mary MacDonald. When the two first saw each other they got into an argument because Emmeline was told by Marlene that Mary would be coming back to the wizarding world after the war was over and that’s why she joined the Order. When Mary told Emmeline that her plan was to never come back Emmeline yelled at her and told her that Marlene died for nothing

Emmeline and Mary have this whole arc

By the time it’s December 1987 they’re all a bit sick of each other and Snape and Remus end up getting into this massive argument which ends with Remus punching Snape and breaking his nose after Snape accuses him of being a evil

Remus storms out, Mary goes after him, Gilderoy goes to his room and Emmeline is left with Snape

Snape tells her about how the Marauders “bullied" him and his "love" for Lily and he tells her about the Prank and twists the story to make it sound like Remus wanted to kill him also. Emmeline is furious and when Remus get back they argue about it

Emmeline tells him that Snape was right and that Remus probably never cared about anyone and that he's a monster like all the other werewolves

After their argument Emmeline and Mary talk and Mary explains why she left the wizarding world and all that. They connect very emotionally. Emmeline eventually ends up falling asleep and she never sees Mary again

The next day (Christmas Eve) a bunch of shit happens while everyone’s still mad at each other I won’t get into it now but it ends with Severus, Emmeline, Remus and Gilderoy burning an entire building filled with possibly bad MACUSA employees in and killing them all

They move back to England the next day

Emmeline ends up missing all the full moons after that

In 1988 Emmeline meets a muggle called Noelle Daviss and falls in love. Because she's a muggle she starts to lean towards a muggle life for her and goes to medical school, she slowly loses contact with Snape

In 1990 Pandora died and Emmeline was among those wondering why

Also in 1990 Emmeline and Noelle got married and adopted a daughter called Julie Vance

When she heard the news of Remus being exposed as a werewolf she considered trying to contact him but doesn’t

When the Order got back together Emmeline refused to talk to Snape despite how many times he tried to talk to her. She was also avoiding Remus and Sirius like the plague. She would mostly talk to Kingsley during this time

The day before her death Emmeline went to visit Amelia while she was skating and warned Amelia to lock all of her doors because she overheard rumours that the Death Eaters might be after her

Emmeline was killed by Death Eaters while walking to Grimmauld Place on the 14th July 1996. Snape was the one to give the Death Eaters information that led to her death because Dumbledore told him to

She died exactly 14 years after Marlene

This idea has been in my head for months on end. Never had a chance to write it down but I rather have it written somewhere rather than not at all

Anyways, my hc of how Law acquired Kikoku is prolly simple but maybe pretty weird for some people

To me, I hc that Kikoku was created from Law's own blood, flesh and bone when he tore out the White Amber Disease from his body and cured himself. He then infused his powers to mold and create Kikoku into his sword, calling it Kikoku or the Devil's Cry as its also a manifestation of his rage and grief

Somewhat similar to the Zanpakuto, Kikoku is the mirror and shadow to Law's soul. There's been all sorts of interpretation and amazing fanart as to what Kikoku's alternate form would look like. In my case, I imagine it to be a large demonic snow leapord

Hmmmm, I guess its also kinda like an animagus or a patronus in a way huh?

So yeah, thats the basic rundown to how I imagine Kikoku came to be

(I got some other hcs about it tying it to lawlu as well, things that i got inspired by suibian from mdzs but thats for another time hopefully)

saints do you vibe with Reggie’s animagus being a cat or are do you have an oddly niche but perfectly fitting alternative take

i've always been of the opinion that regulus's patronus (and animagus) is a LION... this fits with regulus being the brightest star in alpha leonis, like sirius with canis majoris!

also i think it is kind of heartbreakingly perfect when you think about how regulus black never had enough happy memories to produce a patronus in the first place. to me it is thematically relevant that regulus, someone defined by his one act of bravery that he died for (!!), never got the opportunity to learn that out of everyone, HE was the lion....

Summary:

Malfoy said without greeting, "Thank you." "For the trial?" Malfoy looked at him again, this time openly enough to make Harry feel like the floor was about to consume him—and later he would come to know it wasn’t him, but maybe his soul. "For winning the War." "It was a team effort, really." Malfoy smiled, and Harry didn’t understand why it made him a bit dizzy. "I know, Harry."

A honk of appreciation from goose Nocturn:

I am so thrilled to recommend The Gray in Your Eyes. The healing from repressed trauma, dry and dark humor, and little moments of brightness sparking between Harry and Draco are all so lovely.  Everyone go take a gander at this incredible fic!

Family: The Prosperous House of Burke

Reuben was born into the main line of the House of Burke. Although the Burke family is a member of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, it is considered inferior to other notorious pure-blood families -- the Malfoys, the Blacks -- due to acquiring its wealth as merchants and tradesmen.

Some years before Reuben's birth, a prophet spoke of a "lion" that would soon be born to the family and secure its future. When Reuben's mother became pregnant, the family believed this "lion" to be him. There was much celebration when he was born, and with the baby's light red hair and stark grey eyes, it seemed he would indeed galvanize the Burke's reputation.

As Reuben grew up, however, he failed to show any signs of magic. His hair darkened to a deep shade of brown and he became a somewhat anxious boy, unable to shoulder great expectations placed upon him by the family. When his eleventh birthday came around and his Hogwarts letter failed to arrive, the family finally declared him a squib and sent him away to live with faraway cousins. A year later, his mother gave birth to his brother, Vincent, who came out with bright blue eyes and flaming red locks that never darkened.

Adopted family: Primroses and the Rosebery

Cousin Clara had been politely distant to the family after a controversial courtship, but she had married well. Her muggle husband was Henry Primrose, younger brother to a Lord Primrose, Earl of Rosebery. They lived together (and happily, if rumors were to be believed) in a spacious country house not far from the Primrose estate. Their daughter, Alice Primrose, had also turned out to be a squib and was the same age as Reuben, so it was decided that he would go live with his noble cousins.

Cast out by his own mother and father, Reuben's anxiety quickly soured into sullen ambition. He liked his relatives well enough, especially Cousin Alice, who, while preparing to be presented to Society in two years, also exhibited a natural and refreshing curiosity of magic and the world; at the same time he felt sick with jealousy, for, as a commoner in the muggle world, he had no such Society to enter as an alternative to the wizarding world. Though without magic, he decided that there were still some things he could do. Squib or not, anyone could look into a telescope, and he was hell-bent to prove himself a capable astronomer to eventually stick it to the "lion" of the family.

Fig.

Reuben loved Fig. How could he not? When the silver-haired old man knocked on the oaken door of the country house and stood awkwardly to be announced by the butler, then cleared his throat to tell Reuben (and Alice -- more on that elsewhere) that he was magical after all -- how could he not be overwhelmed by joy and gratitude? From then on, Fig would always be his mentor, friend, and the man who brought Reuben to the wizarding world. He would follow Fig anywhere.

(And he did, right up to the very end.)

Friends: Amit Thakkar, Garreth Weasley

Reuben's friendship with Amit was natural. Both were astronomy lovers, and they spent many a late nights in the freezing Astronomy Tower and weekends roaming the highlands looking for astronomy tables. Reuben was calm where Amit was nervous, and Amit did the talking when Reuben fell quiet. Professor Shah once called them her dynamic duo. The nickname stuck.

Reuben's friendship with Garreth Weasley was anything but natural. With his mane of red hair and his tendency to brag, Garreth at first reminded Reuben of the brother that replaced him, whom he had never met but frequently pictured in his mind. Garreth spoke loudly and proudly of himself and bothered and prodded Reuben when he wanted to be left alone and constantly got him in trouble, but Garreth, as Reuben began to realize, was probably nothing like his lion brother. Garreth spoke proudly of everyone. And Garreth prodded him into doing things he never would have done on his own. Thanks to Garreth's ingenious discovery of the passageway that led to Honeydukes, Reuben had a completely free (though unethical) supply of rare potion ingredients. That is not to say, however, that they never got caught. Once Garreth's kind but unsparing aunt had caught them padding into the Potions classroom past curfew, and another time she had found them stuck in the prefect bathroom after Peeves locked them in, and another time with dungbombs on the third floor suspiciously close to the gargoyle that led to the Headmaster's office... she once called them the partners in crime, and the nickname stuck.

Ancient Magic:

Ancient Magic was cold. It dripped into his bloodstream like glacial meltwater, that hollow feeling when the wind blew on the mountain and he hadn't worn enough layers. Then, when he released its power, it was nothing short of supernovae rebounding off of dying stars.

Quotes:

"I could have been a candle, but because you have neglected me I will grow into a wildfire."

"Amit, wake up. What do you see?"

"Millions of stars."

"And what does that mean to you?"

"The infinite grandeur of the universe, ever expanding --"

"No, you idiot, someone stole our tent."

"I may not be a lion, but I have talons too. They are as long and sharp as yours."

"Garreth, would you shut the fuck up?"

Thanks for reading!

grindeldore alternative ship-names i've found/made

okay, so we all know those aesthetic ship names that are used in so many fandoms, turning "jily" into "flowerpot", etc

in the current grindeldore fandom, most of us refer to grindeldore as "grindeldore" or "gelbus" (haven't heard that in a while tho)... so around last year, I came up with an "aesthetic" shipname for grindeldore which I've used as a hashtag in my tiktoks.

i wanted to collect a list of possible cute names because grindeldore deserves a cute shipname! anyways, here it is!!

my own:

for me, it was clear that i wanted albus to be referred to as "phoenix" because of: 1. his family history & the connection to a phoenix 2. just like the phoenix, albus metaphorically "died" and came back from the ashes as a changed man

STARPHOENIX:

starphoenix mixes star = gellert & phoenix = albus. i referred to gellert as a star due to my love for icarus & fallen angel symbolism with gellert. i will go in depth with this in a future post, I think. gellert flew too close to the sun (the greater good, his ambitions) ...

SAINTPHOENIX:

name history: Hungarian form of Gerard. Saint Gellért was an 11th-century missionary to Hungary who was martyred by being thrown into the Danube.

personal interpretation: gellert had a huge god complex and thought he was destined to save. that to rule was his & albus's birthright. he stopped believing in the christian god early on - instead, he viewed himself as a higher creature, above humankind, but especially above muggles.

THESTRALPHOENIX:

i am pretty sure i didn't come up with this because it's pretty basic, but I don't remember anybody else using it who I could name, so yeah.

thestral = a widely spread headcanon for gellert's patronus; phoenix = albus's patronus

LAVENDERBEE:

lavender = gellert (him and his lavender tie... albus gifting him the lavender tie... queer symbolism...)

bee = albus dumbledore, name meaning bumblebee

from other people:

elderbee (by the wonderful @bloodpxct )

elderflower (i saw this name on a pinterest board which was last updated 2 years ago by AnniGranger)

The Deceased

The Case The Defendant The Witness

The Auror The Confession

Summary: Draco Malfoy and his disinterest in his own innocence was the one thing that was standing between you and your future as a public defender. And the rest of the Wizarding World was ready to lock him up for the rest of his life... but you weren't so sure you agreed with that anymore.

a/n: Sometimes things just work out when I'm writing that I never mean to and it all works beautifully. Anyway, welcome to the next part and I'm so glad you guys are enjoying this--it's nice to be writing again. (also I might have forgotten that I was actively posting this and not hoarding it in my notes app like everything else... so sorry for the late update).

8:00am. 

On the dot.

I knocked on the door of the manor and found a smile. I heard the pattering of feet and rambunctious laughter. Those sounded didn’t belong in the profile that I had of the manor. It sparked my curiosity. 

When the door opened, I met the same grey eyes, except they were about four feet from the ground instead of six. 

“Hello?” I laughed. “And who might you be?” There was no doubt that this boy was somehow related to Draco with the same eyes and same silver blond hair. 

“You’re the lawyer who’s here to help my daddy!” The little boy exclaimed. “Come in! Come in!” He grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. 

“Scorpius I told you not to—oh dear,” Draco came down the grand staircase. “I’m awfully sorry, Ms. Y/n, he was a little excited to meet you,” 

“You’re gonna help save my daddy!” Scorpius’ eyes shined like stars up at me as he pulled on my hand. 

“I’m gonna try,” I said smiling. “Did you want me to bring the case notes?” Confused I looked up at Draco. 

“No, today is strictly character profile,” Draco almost smiled. “Actually it’s the one day a week I get with him.” 

“And you wanted me here?” I frowned, Scorpius was still pulling at my hand. I snapped my fingers and sent a ghost of my patronus flitting around him. Scorpius squealed in delight and followed it around the large foyer leaving Draco and I alone. 

“I wanted you to meet Scorpius,” He said. “You asked me if the reason you were so adamant about my innocence mattered—if you mattered and…” Draco shrugged. “The only one who ever believed in my innocence was him,” Draco nodded to his son. “And you. Thought you might want to meet him, swap notes,” A smile definitely tugged at his lips. 

“I didn’t know you had a son,” 

Draco’s face hardened as we followed Scorpius out into the garden. 

“Before the war, I had always been betrothed to Astoria. We were married. She died in childbirth. With this ongoing case my mother is his caregiver. I get to see him Fridays.” 

“That—that wasn’t in the case notes,” 

“No,” He said. “My mother and I have kept Scorpius a secret from the Wizarding World. Imagine if the papers knew.” 

Oh I was. Scorpius would never be free from rumors and legacies that just didn’t belong to him. Instead Draco was taking the brunt of it for him. For his son. Draco as a father wasn’t a part of my profile for him either… but it fit somehow. 

We both watched as Scorpius chased the fluttering image of my patronus around and into the garden. We took a seat on the rocking chairs on the porch, watching Scorpius keep himself amused in the yard. Draco kept a keen eye on him and our surroundings. I enjoyed the sunshine and the summer breeze that smelled of pine and soft grass. 

“Draco, if you… if I can’t prove your innocence… what happens to Scorpius?” The thought encroached on our sunshine. 

“He’ll stay with my mother.” There was ice in his tone. “He will be fine.”

“He won’t have you,” I said. I pondered the alternative. “But if the case stays open…”

“We’ll always have our Fridays.” Draco finished. “My son is the most important thing to me.” He said matter of factly. “More than clearing my name.” 

“You deserve more than just Fridays with him.” My statement was just as much the truth. “Don’t you want that?”

“I never wanted to risk losing the little I did have. It was foolish to hope for more.” 

I nodded, his words launching an arrow into all of my pain. 

“So what do we do?” I asked solemn. 

“What do you mean?” He asked glancing over at me. “You have to close this case. Your future is at stake.” He said it with such kindness. 

“But so is his!” I gestured to Scorpius. “So is yours! Why pass at all if I can’t help even you two!” I stood. “I wanted to do this to help people like you. Like him! If I—if I can’t do that then maybe—maybe I shouldn’t do it at all.” I paced to the edge of the porch, leaning against the railing. 

“Hey, wait no.” Draco said, following me. “Y/n, you can close this case. I—if anyone can do it, you can.” Hope flickered like an ember in his voice catching the dry brush of my heart to start smoldering. 

“You believe I can do this?” Glancing back at him, we were in a world of our own. 

He closed the distance between us. 

“I do.” 

There were a thousand things that I wanted to say to him. To convince him of his own innocence. To explain the nuances between intent and action. To plead with him to at least fight for Scorpius if he wouldn’t fight for himself. 

But we both said nothing. 

I didn’t need to be right with him. 

I just had to prove the rest of the world wrong about him. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the muggle world it was impossible to talk to the deceased in a murder case. And their legal system didn’t take talking to ghosts as valid evidence. Amateurs. 

I had an advantage. Not the ghost of Dumbledore, but there was a portrait of him hanging in Hogwarts, and though it did not have the knowledge of his death, maybe it would give a direction to where my world of grey had any contrast at all. 

What I knew of Dumbledore and his riddles, it was a long shot, but Dr. Dresden seemed impressed that I had considered the option. 

So here I was. 

Back at Hogwarts. 

Trying to hide from the ghosts of me that lingered in these halls as I followed Headmaster McGonagall to the statue of the Phoenix. 

“Thank you Professor McGonagall, I’m not sure if it will entirely help, but it might.” I said again followed her up the stairs to the headmaster’s office. 

“Of course,” Her kind eyes and smile didn’t change, though the years around them grew. “I’m surprised.” 

“That I got Draco’s case?” I mused, a smile touching my lips. “Yeah, I’ve gotten that a lot,” 

“No, I’m surprised that you’re so keen on getting him acquitted.” She gave me a knowing look. 

“I have to close the case.” 

“Doesn’t mean he has to be innocent.” 

“But isn’t he?” 

“You tell me,” McGonagall hid her truth behind her smile. “Here he is,” She nodded to the portrait. 

“Ah, young Y/n,” Dumbledore greeted. “What a pleasant surprise.” 

“Headmaster Dumbledore,” I bowed my head. “I have a few questions if you don’t mind,” 

“Of course!” He seemed amused. 

“It’s about your death,” 

“I see.” Dumbledore grew solemn. I took out my notepad and a quill. “You’re here to talk about Severus Snape.” 

I froze and looked up at him, confused. 

“What?” My mind reeled. “What about Professor Snape?” 

“You wanted to know about my death yes?” Dumbledore clarified. 

“Yes, but I’m here about Draco Malfoy,” 

Dumbledore laughed. “Draco is no killer Miss Y/n,” 

“I have a case that says otherwise,” I muttered. “What does Snape have to do with this?” 

“I asked him to kill me.” 

“You did what?” I put my notepad down and my quill took on a life of her own taking notes while I was distracted. “You asked Severus Snape to kill you?” 

“He was my double agent. I knew that Voldemort was after the Elder wand, which meant I was going to die. And I did.” 

“You asked Snape to kill you?” Snape was listed as a witness to the case, but he died in the war. Was it possible that Snape killed Dumbledore? Why hadn’t Draco said anything? Why didn’t Harry? What the hell was going on? Double agents for what? 

“And seeing as I have no memory of my death, I can only assume that he did.” 

“Okay, but why would Harry say that Draco did it?” I asked—a question I’d been asking the universe lately. “Why is everyone so convinced that he did it!? He didn’t do it!” 

Dumbledore said nothing but he smiled at me. 

“Perhaps Snape’s wand can help you acquit your dear Draco,” 

My eyes flashed to his. “Draco means nothing to me.” I gritted out. 

“Yes of course,” Dumbledore wasn’t convinced. 

“He went through the war just like the rest of us,” I spoke softly. “It left scars on us all.” 

“And some of us are still bleeding,” He gave me a pointed look. 

“I’m fine,” I barely made a sound. The things I kept locked inside a vault in my chest clawed at the door. Taking a breath, I willed them to calm. 

“Anything else you wish to discuss my dear?” 

“No,” I grabbed my notes and quill. “Thank you,” 

“Best of luck you to both,” 

I closed the door behind me. 

What was once a clear cut case now seemed like a rabbit hole of a conspiracy theories. 

And all I could as was ‘why me?’

[drarrily-we-row-along]

Titan Arum

It wasn’t Harry’s fault.

Their relationship had always been about competition, from the very start, from 11 years old when they’d despised each other. And some habits died harder than others. It hadn’t been intentional that their dating was a bit like a competition, it had sort of just happened.

Planning alternating date night activities, giving the most heartfelt gifts, being liked by the other’s friend group, even who could give who the most orgasms… It all just sort of happened.

And the same was true with the flowers. Harry had sent Draco a bouquet their first valentines together (3 weeks after they started dating) and periodically they’d send each other random bouquets since. That those arrangements happened to get bigger and more elaborate each time was no one’s fault. The competitive spirit kept their relationship interesting and very focused on the other’s happiness.

It wasn’t Harry’s fault.

Maybe their competitive natures were to blame.

Maybe it was Draco’s fault for sending that ostentatiously loud bouquet to Harry’s classroom when he had the fourth years.

Or maybe it was Hermione’s fault for informing Harry that the largest flower on earth was the Amorphophallus titanum when he’d been idly wondering aloud about where he could find a really big, impressive flower.

Maybe it was that he trusted Hermione to tell him any extra information he might need to know. He hadn’t even bothered to look at the flower before he placed the order for delivery.

Or maybe it was the fact that the flower’s name had both the words amor and phallus in it. And frankly, Harry found the thought of sending Draco a flower that looked like a dick amusing.

But no matter the case; it wasn’t Harry’s fault.

At least, that was the line he’d be using when he arrived in Draco’s office after a furious patronus.

“What. The. Actual. Fuck?” Draco ground out.

Harry couldn’t even see him around the giant plant in the room; standing at least 8 feet tall and several feet wide, it took up almost all of the space in the room.

But as distracting as the sight of such a flower was, that wasn’t the thing that captured Harry’s attention. He’d never in his life smelled something as unpleasant as this flower. It smelled like dead, rotting animals, and Harry had to bury his nose in his sweater. “Err…” he started.

“Don’t you bloody well ‘err’ me, Harry James Potter,” Draco spit. “Why are you sending me a fucking corpse flower? What is wrong with you?”

“It’s the biggest flower in the world,” he said weakly. “And it’s called amorphallus, which seemed funny. Unlike the name corpse flower.”

“Amorphophallus,” Draco corrected. “And that still doesn’t explain why you would send something like this to someone you love.”

And there was just a little twinge of hurt to his voice, Harry could never stand that. He braved his way deeper into the office giving the plant as wide a berth as the small office allowed. “I’m sorry, darling. It wasn’t my fault.”

Draco raised an accusatory eyebrow at him.

“Hermione told me about it!” The eyebrow arched further. “And it was easy to order once I knew who to talk to.” He grinned at Draco, “and the name was pretty funny, you have to admit.”

“I have to do no such thing,” he replied with a haughty sniff.

“How would you feel if I said that you won the flower contest?”

Draco perked up at that “admitting defeat?”

“This is the most ghastly plant I’ve ever seen.”

“Venomous tentacula,” Draco offered with a grin.

“Still better than that,” he said, nodded to the flower.

“It’s a good thing I know you love me,” he said, leaning over to kiss Harry’s cheek.

He nudged him with his nose, “I do love you.”

“I know,” he repeated with a grin. Then, “dinner?”

Harry nodded, “what about the plant?”

Draco shooed him out, “I’ll deal with it later.”

————

Six weeks later, as luck would have it, when the flower opened in the green house, Harry happened to be there collecting some harvested mandrakes.

Draco also was there, and as Harry watched, he harvested several pollen pods from the titan arum.

He cleared his throat and Draco whipped around, “does this mean I won after all?”

Summary: “You look awfully thin, Snape, haven’t been eating?”

Those dark, smoldering eyes come down on him like a guillotine, one heavy brow quirked in his direction. “You look awfully tired, Potter, haven’t been resting?”

Severus scrutinizes Harry, who is face to face with Severus’ patronus, a silver doe with bright green eyes swooping in with the magic whirlwind resembling a winter blizzard. Both Harry and the doe are mesmerised with one another. The tip of Harry’s index finger is over the tip of Severus’ wand. Harry is holding up lily of the valley blossoms below the doe’s chin. Harry’s cravat is green with white decorations to match the flowers. Severus’ expression is stern and attentive. Behind him, bats descend from the top of the drawing. A tree stretches its branches behind Harry. They are enveloped in sunrise pinks and blues of the sky. A full moon hovers between Severus and Harry’s figures, with a solitary shadowed spec of a bat against its yellow glow.

Patronus: Husky

Family: Father (David Burke *brother of Caractacus Burke*) is a Pure blood Gryffindor but definitely also probably should have been sorted into Slytherin because his daughter is JUST like him. Her mother (Ramona) is muggle born. She has two slibings; An older estranged brother (Roderick) that served in Azkaban but was released later on, an Older sister (Seraphina) who works directly under the Minister of Magic at the Ministry. Jessica and her family are American but Moved to London after her Father was transferred because he worked in the Wizarding Military Force under the Ministry. She grew up in Georgia and has a slight southern accent. They were in London long enough for both of her older siblings to attend Hogwarts and also be sorted into Slytherin but Jess didn't have magic yet. Her brother is 9 years older than she is and her sister is 7 years older than her. They eventually were transferred BACK to the USA where Jessica continued to grow up and attend Ilvermorny for only a couple of months before they were ultimately transferred BACK AGAIN to London where she started 5th year at Hogwarts, which was her very first year of having magic (she's a late bloomer) *Hints* opening game where she doesn't have a wand of her own, and is incredibly surprised by the amount of magic she sees at Hogwarts where she obviously meets Sebastian and Ominis who become her (truely real) best friends.

Usually found: in the undercroft learning how to play gobstones with the 2 Slytherin boys, sneaking into the kitchens after hours cuz she internal chonk, sneaking into the restricted section with Sebastian, in the front garden at the summoners court or in the clock tower participating in crossed wands. Sometimes in Feldcroft with Ominis taking care of Sebastian after his uncle dies suddenly and mysteriously 👀 (Sebastian technically owns the property after that)

Future career: Ancient Artifact Collector, (claims ownership of Borgin and Burkes later on) and Healer of sorts.
