I Choose You | F.W.

Title: I Choose You

Requested: Yes/No

Summary: At the end of the day, Fred is always the one Y/N chooses.

A/N: Inspired by the song “I Choose” from the movie: “Willoughby”

Stuck in my ways Like old-fashioned days But all the roads led me to you

Magic. I always thought that magic just consisted of clever tricks and didn’t really exist. I always thought that magic were just illusions used to entertain little kids. That was what I always thought, until I got my Hogwarts letter. Until I learned that magic was real. Until I hopped onto the Hogwarts express, ready to begin my journey as a witch.

All roads lead to somewhere. And this one led me to a certain 6’3 ginger who had a twin named George. This road had led me to my best friend, Fred Weasley, this road had led me to the boy I fell for, hard.

“You’re gorgeous.” That was Fred’s first words to me.

“Gryffindor!” The sorting hat yelled as it was placed on my head. I happily skipped towards the scarlet and gold table, where my new friends were waiting for me. “Welcome to the best house in Hogwarts.” The twins said in unison as I took a seat next to them.

Everyday was an adventure, pulling pranks and causing mischief and trouble here and there. And every day, I continued to fall in love with the older twin.

The house that you live in don't make it a home But feeling lonely don't mean you're alone People in life, they will come and they'll leave But if I had a choice I know where I would be

Ever since I started attending Hogwarts, I would spend every holiday at the Burrow. It was like a second home to me. Molly had instantly treated me like her daughter the moment I stepped foot inside the house. It even got to the point that Fred would whine that he wanted his “partner in crime” back.

Every holiday at the Burrow was special. I never felt lonely, mostly because my own family didn’t like the idea of me being a witch. But the most special holiday I had was during our third year.

I was watching the stars as snow fell slowly onto the ground.

“Enjoying the view darling?” The butterflies appeared in my stomach as I turned and saw Fred standing by the doorway.

“What’s there not to enjoy about the view?” I asked as I patted the space next to me, inviting him to sit down.

“It’s just, the whole family’s inside and your out here.” He said as he placed his arms around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him.

“But I can bet that there’s something better than that view.” He said with a sheepish grin.

I chuckled, “And what is that?”

“Look up.” He simply stated.

I diverted my gaze up to the night sky, fireworks painting the sky. Soon, it spelled out the words: I love you Y/N; Will you be my girlfriend?

I turned to Fred, who had a hopeful look in his eyes, “Be my girlfriend?” He asked.

Without hesitation, I cupped his cheeks and pulled him into a kiss. In the background, I could hear the whole Weasley household cheering.

“How’s that for an answer?” I asked as we pulled apart.

He smirked, “Oh, sorry. I didn’t get your answer. Can we try it again?”

I giggled as he pulled me in for another kiss.

Now I found the strength To make a change And look at the magic I found No matter the name

Umbridge had come and was making everyday miserable with her foolish educational decrees that she claims is for the better future of Hogwarts. A load of dragon dung if you ask me.

Harry then formed the D.A., which for me is the highlight of the school year. We were fighting for something. We were fighting for our school; we were learning to fight and defend ourselves. We were learning to fight against Voldemort.

“Expecto Patronum!” The twins said in unison, identical magpie patronuses flying out of their wands.

I thought of the day Fred asked me to be his girlfriend, the day we attended the Yule ball together, every date, every memory. I let the happiness fill me up.

“Expecto Patronum!” I casted, watching in awe as a cat flew out of my wand, running around, chasing the magpies the twins produced.

“What did you think about?” Fred asked, wrapping his arms around me.

I smiled, “You.”

The room then started to shake, Fred his arm around me protectively, the both instinctively raising our wands. The room shook again, a small hole appearing in the wall.

“Bombarda Maxima” A familiar voice said.

“It’s Umbridge.” I said, all of us started to run as the wall exploded.

The twins and I ran to one of the secret passageways that led to the common room. We were one of the first ones back, collapsing on the couch from exhaustion.

Ron came in dragging Hermione along with him. The rest of the Gryffindors started to file in. Except for one, Harry.

I finally found where I feel I belong And I know you'll be there with wide open arms

Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light

When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say At the end of the day, I choose you

“George and I are leaving tomorrow.” Fred said as he paced the dorm.

“The big escape.” I said with a small smile.

Fred looked at me, I could see the tears forming in his eyes, “I’m breaking up with you.”

I felt like someone had just stabbed a dagger into my chest, “What?”

He tried to hold back the tears but he couldn’t, “I’m breaking up with you.” He repeated as his voice cracked.

I could feel the tears making its way from my eyes, “Why?”

He sat down on the floor, “Because I am dropping out of school to follow another one of my stupid ideas. I’m dropping out of school to start a business that I have no assurance that will succeed. And if everything goes downhill, I’ll disappoint everyone, Harry, Mum, George and most especially you. Out of all the people in the world, you are the one I’d hate to disappoint the most. Then when that happens, you’ll leave me. Then I’ll be left with nothing. So, it’s better to end things now instead of ending when the pain hurts more.” He sobbed.

I pulled him into a hug, trying to wipe his tears as mine continued to fall.

“That won’t happen Fred.” I said, gently rubbing his back, “No matter what happens, I’ll stay by your side, through the lows and the highs. If the ship sinks, then I’m going down with you. Where you go, I go. Because at the end of the day Freddie, I choose you.”

He hugged me tightly, as if scared that I would evaporate any minute. “Thank you.” He muttered.

I cupped his face in my hands, “Besides, I’m coming with you.”

“What?” He asked.

I chuckled, “George and I were supposed to surprise you tomorrow. But I guess things don’t always go as planned.”

“Really? You’d rather come with us than finish your education.” He said with a small smile.

I nodded, “Yeah. It’s not like I’m learning anything with the pink toad around. Like I said Freddie, I’ll always choose you. And if I belong anywhere, it’s with you.”

Through the lows and the highs I will stay by your side There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say At the end of the day, I choose you

“You okay Freddie?” George asked as the three of us watched the teachers place protective enchantments on the school.

“Yeah, how about you?” Fred asked, turning to his brother.

“I’m fine.” George answered.

Fred turned to me, “How about you princess?”

“Good.” I replied.

Fred turned me to face him, “If ever I don’t make it. You should move on, okay? Fall in love again. Have a family. I’ll always be waiting for you.”

I shook my head, kissing him, “I choose you. So, it’s either we survive this together or we don’t at all.”

“But darling- “He tried to reason before I interrupted him.

“There’s no need for goodbyes, now I’m seeing the light.” I squeezed his hand, “It doesn’t matter what happens. As long as we’re together.”

“You’re joking Perce! You’re actually joking.” But the rest of Fred’s words fell into the background as my instincts told me that something bad would happen.

I rushed to Fred, pushing him out of the way as the wall exploded. It’s like everything had gone in slow motion.

“I love you.” I whispered into his ear, if I was going to die. Then I would want that to be my last words. If he was going to die, no, I can’t think that.

I landed on top of him, my arms wrapped around his torso, “Freddie?” I immediately said.

“Yes princess?” He answered, with his signature smirk.

I hugged him as I breathed a sigh of relief and began sobbing, “You’re alive.” I said.

He hugged me tighter, running his hand through, “Thank you for saving me.” He whispered.

I looked up and crashed our lips together, “I told you either we survive together, or we don’t at all.”

At the end of the day, I choose you

“Do you, Y/N L/N, take Fred Weasley as your lawfully wedded husband?” The minister asked.

I smiled, “I do.”

“And with the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”

Fred smiled, as he pulled me closer to him.

During the reception, I couldn’t stop glancing down at the rings on our hands, it had the words I choose you engraved.

“I love you, Mrs. Weasley.” He whispered as the festivities continued.

I smiled at him, “I love you too, Mr. Weasley.”

I choose you

About a Girl

Paring: Dean x reader

Prompt: Reader turns into a small kid after a witch puts a spell on her and the boys need to figure out a way to fix it before she grows down into nothing. While Sammy investigates, Dean has to take care of her.

Warnings: none

“Did you hear what she said?” You asked Sam as you walked out of the witch house “before Dean shot her?”

Sam thought about it for a second “I don’t think she said anything...”

“No... no... I’m sure she did! She said something... juvelin? Juven... juven-something... didn’t you hear Dean?” You asked turning towards him, he was rather distraught packing things up on the trunk of the impala.

“Maybe? But I don’t think is anything to worry about (Y/N).”

You were still unconvinced, but the brothers thought it was nothing, and they had more experience with witches than you did so you decided to ignore your uneasiness. “Maybe I’m just tired... We’re going home now, right?”

Dean nodded. You got on the back seat of the impala and the boys got in the front. You hung out with them for a while, sitting on the middle seat and jamming to Dean’s tunes. But sooner than later Dean played one of his soft rock music and even if you loved most of them, they knocked you out since you were a child, since your dad would listen to it while road tripping.

Dean smiled when he saw you soundly asleep as he reached out for a drink from the cooler. Sammy was awake still and the three of you arrived home around 7 pm. Once the impala was on the garage and the boys were about to leave the car Sam called you to wake “Hey (Y/N), we’re at the bunker!”

There was no answer, so he turned to wake you up. His eyes opened wildly when he saw what laid on the back seat. He quickly motioned Dean to turn too. Both of the boys stared for a bit, for where their friend was supposed to lay a little girl was instead.

Dean was about to speak up when the little girl started to open her eyes. She slowly sat and looked at the two boys confused. “Are you dad’s friends? Did he go on a hunting trip again?” She asked as she yawned.

“Yes?” Answered Sam.

The little girl sighed “nice to meet you then, I’m (Y/N). Who are you?”

Dean gave Sam a look. Was this little girl really you turned back in time? It certainly looked like so. “ I am Dean Winchester.”

She giggled “No, you’re not. I know Dean Winchester, he’s about this height,” she said placing her hand at eye height “he’s a year older but I’m taller. Daddy says it’s because I eat all my vegetables and he’s a picky eater, only likes pie.”

Sam snorted from the side and Dean gave him a look before turning back to you.

“All through,” you said standing up and getting close to him “you do look a little like my Dean,” you said after grabbing the sides of his face with your now small hands “especially the eyes,” you stared at his eyes, those definitely looked like Dean’s eyes, you would know, even at five years of age you knew those eyes were special, you quickly separated from him and stood back on the leather chair of the car “are you related to John?”

“Yes,” replied Sam, “he’s uh... our cousin.”

“So you’re Sam and Dean’s uncles. Nice to meet you,” she smiled.

Dean had already gotten out of the car and opened the door for you to come out. “What is your name?” You asked Sam before he came out.

“I’m... I’m Henry Winchester,” he replied. Dean gave him a look and he just shrugged, if he said he was Sam little (Y/N) would think they were messing with her.

“All right (Y/N) time to go in,”

“Where are we?” She asked as she followed the boys through the big concrete walls.

“This is the men of letters bunker. Where we live,”

“I wish I lived in a place like this,” you spoke as you looked in awe all around “maybe one day,” you said hopefully. A small knowing smile grew on Dean as he heard those words, they had invited you in when they bumped into you on a hunt a few years back, you’d been with them ever since, and you always called the bunker your home.

“So... Not-my-Dean-Winchester, what are we going to do?” You wondered “some of dad’s friends just leave me in the corner and tell me to behave, some others are really nice, Bobby once took me to the movies... You guys seem really nice, but also very tired. Did you just finish a hunt? You have that look in your eyes dad has when he finishes a hunt.

Yes, that’s how he remembered you, a very talkative little girl who used to play with him and Sam when you were together. And very clever too, you seemed to always know what the adults were about.

“We are actually getting home from a hunt,” Sam answered. You looked at him expectantly “A witch.”

“Oooo, dad’s never faced a witch before”, she said. “Are they very dangerous?”

“Some are, this one was just... weird, she put a spell on our friend,”

“I’m sorry, are they all right?” You asked with concern.

“She seems to be,” Sam replied “but we need to contact a friend that is a witch to help us. Dean, keep an eye on her while I contact Rowena,”

“But I don’t know how to take care of children,”

“Do what you’d wanted to have when someone took care of us,” Sam shrugged and turned on the corner opposite to where you and Dean did.

“Woah,” you exclaimed excitedly “this place is amazing! Look that table,” you said as you ran to stand on one of the chairs around the war room table “this whole bunker is amazing, you are very lucky to live here,” you told Dean as you admired the whole place. “Are you guys rich?”

“No... we ugh... sort of inherited it.”

“So... will you tell me to shut up and sit in the corner?” You wondered, it wasn’t uncommon and you were used to it “because I can, but I’d be happier if you allowed me to take a book at least, you have plenty of them. I promise I wouldn’t damage it. Just look at the pretty pictures. But if being quite in the corner is the order I’ll take it, sir.”

“Of course not!” He scoffed “I was going to ask you if you wanted to watch a movie,” he asked, “we would make popcorns and stuff.”

“I’d like that a lot,” you nodded excitedly.

Jack entered the room just a few seconds before that and tried to figure out what was happening “who is that?” He questioned.

“Jack, this is (Y/N),” he furrowed his brows, that was (Y/N), she looked just like (Y/N) but at least 25 years younger. “(Y/N), this is Jack... my son...”

“You don’t look old enough to have a son that old,” you said turning your head back and forth between the two of them. Dean had a little smirk drawn on his face, finally someone recognized he wasn’t old,

“I’m actually four,” stated Jack.

You frowned and turned to Dean.

“It’s a long story, magic.” he explained.

“WelI guess it makes sense,” you said as you shrugged “we will still watch a movie right?”

Dean nodded, by then you had already jumped over the table and walked towards Jack, you handed him your small hand “nice to meet you Jack.”

“How did this happen?” He asked Dean as he looked at you.

“Well my dad asked them to take care of me,” you replied.

“A witch,” Dean signed from behind.

“Oh...” acknowledged Jack “maybe I could try?”

“No, we don’t want Chuck noticing anything,”

“Who is Chuck?”

“God,” replied Jack matter of factly.

“What?” You asked confused.

“My granddad, not God, that would ridiculous,” replied Jack.

“It would,” you giggled.

“So, what do you want to watch? I’m sure they must have princess movies or something on Netflix,”

“Netflix?” You shrugged “I was thinking maybe we could watch “The adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad”

Dean licked his lip on that particular way of his “is that the headless horseman movie?”

You nodded energetically “I will hunt him down one day!”

“But the movie terrified you,”

“Before I knew I could take him down like dad does all the time with other monsters, he’s like a superhero.”

Dean smiled, he remembered, way back when, his dad was his superhero too.

“Jack, find the movie, I’ll go make some popcorns with (Y/N),” as the two of you walked in the kitchen Sam was sitting there FaceTiming Rowena.

“Hi, Henry!” You smiled “why are you talking to your computer?”

“That’s her? Wee little thing was adorable,” said the person from the computer.

“Is the computer talking to me?” You asked confused.

“It’s ugh, kinda like a phone call, but with video,” explained Dean.

“Like in Star Trek?” You asked.

“Yeah exactly,” replied Sam.

“Cool, didn’t know that excited. Maybe it’s because you guys are rich.”

Rowena chuckled from the other side of the screen. “I’m sorry darling, but I can’t do anything unless I know the spell they used.”

“On your friend?” You asked turning to Dean.

He nodded and started making the popcorns on the stovetop.

“Hey Henry,” you said to Sam “Do you want to come watch headless horseman with us?”

“He doesn’t like that movie,” Dean replied.

“Do you wanna change it?” You asked Sam, who you thought was called Henry.

“No, don’t worry (Y/N), I have a lot of research to do.”

You shrugged and walked beside Dean. You could barely see the stovetop but it was fun to hear the little kernels pop.

As the popcorns were ready the two of you walked towards the tv room, or Dean Cave as he liked to call it. Jack was already sitting on the sofa and the movie was just a click from starting.

“Your TV looks so weird,” you said trying to find the rest of it, but it seemed to only be a screen “looks like a cinema...”

“Yeah, it works like that,” answered Dean, how would he explain that this wasn’t the same world you remembered. Everything changed so much in a couple of decades it would be hard to explain a little kid such things.

As the darkest scene of the movie approached, right when the horseman followed Ichabot’s through the dark forest you were playing full attention. Taking in everything that happened in the movie and analyzing all the possible outcomes, even as a small 5-year-old your mind was blazing with “what ifs” and “whatnots”. You needed to know, “how could you save Ichabot?”.

“What would you do?” You asked turning to Dean.

“What?” He questioned, right after losing his focus on the film.

“How would you get out of it if you were Ichabot?”

“I’d look for the body, salt and burn.”

“But no one knows where it is, besides the head is somewhere else...”

“I’d do my homework prior, and I’d have Sam, Cas and (Y/N) to cover my back,”

“Me?” You questioned.

“No, a different (Y/N), she’s uh... much older than you,”

“And she would help you hunt down the headless horseman?”

“She’d probably figure out a solution for the problem before we realized we were in trouble.”

“She sounds like a cool person,” you smiled “I’d like to be like her when I grow older, there aren’t many girl hunters out there.”

“Oh, there will be, lot’s of them. You’d be among the best.”

“Well you don’t even know me but thank you Not-My-Dean-Winchester”

As Jack found another movie and clicked play, the three of you continued watching the TV attentively. But halfway through the film, your interest in it had faded and you started paying attention to everything around you. The strange-looking TV, the bright little boxes that Dean checked whenever they would beep, he’d said that it was his phone but it didn’t look like any phone you’d seen. As you kept taking in all the new things you started drifting asleep on the couch.

As the movie finished and Dean and Jack noticed, Dean motion the younger boy to be silent and he lift you up to bring you to your room. Your face was hiding on the crook of his neck and your small arms hugging his neck. Halfway asleep you mumbled, “you know, it’s funny Not-My-DeanWinchester, that you smell exactly like my Dean Winchester”.

He frowned, yes, you had always been close, even as children, but noticing the way someone smelled, you, your adult version had never mentioned anything similar. “I quite like that smell,” was the last thing you said before drifting so deep into sleep that not even when he laid you on the bed a little too abruptly did you notice.

He went back to his room. And did some research on his laptop before sleeping himself. Neither him, not Sam had found the spell yet.

The next morning, as the boys went to check out on you their hearts almost fell to the floor. Instead of a very talkative little 5-year-old, they had a way smaller kid in your room. A version of you that most have been 2 or 3.

“Where’s mom and dad?” You asked. They didn’t know how to respond. You’d grown down at least 2 years in a night, if this kept going you would be unborn in less than a week.

“Hey!” Sam approached you “they went to work, we’ll take care of you today, my name is Sam,” he said pointing at himself, when you were three your mom was still alive and you hadn’t met the Winchesters “that’s Dean,” he pointed at his bother.

You took a deep breath, even kids know when they're in danger, and you felt safe enough to trust these two unknown men “I’m hungry.”

“I’ll uh... let’s make some breakfast all right?” Smiled Dean and he motioned for you follow him. Once you got to the kitchen he sat you on the counter to be able to keep an eye on you while Sam called Rowena again.

“Samuel, you need to stop ringing me whenever you...” she stopped complying as he saw the smaller girl sitting on the counter dangling her feet “oh, don’t tell me that’s (Y/N).”

Sammy nodded.

“Yes I am, thas my name,” you said with a smile, “I’m twhree yeahrs old” you showed your hand, with 4 fingers up.

Dean got close and lowered one of the “three,” he said softly.

“Thank you, Dean.”

“We need to find a cure,”

As the day passed by, the boys got more and more desperate, Rowena had travelled to the bunker to see you in person and try to understand the spell.

“I think I have it!” Said Sam after hours sitting in the library, “(Y/N) said something about juvenile, I found a spell, juvenillis juvinale a puero usque ad senem,” it’s something like form old to young.

“Oh I know this spell,” smiled Rowena “I just need a few things and we’ll be able to fix (Y/N).

“Fix me, why?” You asked Dean as you munched on some cereal.

“A different (Y/N),” he replied absentmindedly.

After the three of them found all the stuff they would need Rowena started with her reversion spell. “a puero usque ad senem, a puero usque ad senem, redde id leve et quod suus 'non est verum” she said, and then threw some dust to a vase, a little explosion made a noise and green smoke came out from it but you were still toddler.

“It didn’t work!” Exclaimed Dean angrily.

“No, it takes time for her to grow up again, she should be back to normal in the morning,” stated Rowena “pleasure to see you boys, but I’ve got business to run, demons to keep in line, all that hell business, so goodbye”.

As Rowena left the bunker after packing her stuff the boys sat back in the library still worried. You were quietly sitting on the main table playing with Dean’s phone. Who would have thought angry birds would keep your three-year-old version entertained for hours.

As Dean took you to bed, you started to be wary of your surroundings, you wanted to see your mom and dad. “I don’t like it here,” you said as he sat you in the bed, “it’s scary I want to see my momma,” you cried shyly.

“I know,” replied Dean in the most understating way “I get it, but it’s all right, you’ll see her soon. The sooner you fall asleep the better.”

As he stood up and walked towards the light switch you stopped him “NO!”

“Lights on?”

“I don’t want to be alone, I never sleep alone, always with mom and dad.”

“But I’d be right next door,” he tried to reason but you only denied with your head.

“Won’t sleep, I will stay awake all night if I’m alone.” Dean drew a deep breath but sat beside you on the bed. “Can you tell me a story?”

“A story?” He questioned.

“Yes! A story before bed,”

“I don’t know any...” he said sadly.

“A song?”

“Can’t sing.”

“Plweeeease?”

“Hey Jude, don't be afraid” he started to mumble the so-known lyrics, “You were made to go out and get her, The minute you let her under your skin, Then you begin to make it better”.

Before either of you realized you were both half asleep. As you opened your eyes in the morning, you felt your bed being occupied by someone. And that someone was cuddling you. You hadn’t been cuddled in years. So naturally, you opened your eyes and jumped backwards when you realized how close Dean’s face was to yours, you even distinguished his small freckles. The bed was small, so that jump led you to the floor. Hitting yourself in the head with the side table in the process.

“Auch,” you complained once on the floor rubbing your head where it had collided with your side table.

Dean’s head popped from the side of the bed, half-sleep at first, but when he saw you, your regular aged self a giant smile grew on his face “You’re back!” He said with content “She’s back!” He screamed so the boys could hear.

“Back? From where?” You asked as you got up from the floor and crawled back inside the bed, yes Dean was there. But it was so cold you didn’t even care, you just wanted your covers on top of you.

“You turned 5, and then 3.”

“Five what?” You asked frowning.

“Years old.”

“I was a kid?”

“Oh, and a very adorable one. You made us watch frozen,”

“Bullshit! I would never! Didn’t even exist when I was a kid.”

He chuckled “Well I guess you do know yourself, we watched the headless horseman animated movie when you were 5, when you were three you basically played angry birds on my phone all day,”

“And why are you in my bed?” you asked after your brain started to process everything Dean was telling you.

“Well, your three-year-old version didn’t want to be alone, threatened to stay awake all night if I didn’t.”

If I’d know that was all it took I would have done it ages ago, you thought to yourself. “Well, then, that sounds like a fever dream, heck maybe I’m still dreaming,” you sad as you dragged Dean from his sitting position to lay back down, “whichever it is, you are now my personal heater”.

“I mean, I knew I was hot but—”

“—Shut up Winchester! I’m trying to sleep,” you mumbled as you cuddled into him. Yes, you were so sure you were dreaming because you only cuddled Dean Winchester in your dreams.

“Hey (Y/N)?” He questioned as he looked at the ceiling and drew small circles on your back.

“Mhm?”

“Why did 5 years old you knew that I smelled like, and I quote, ‘her Dean Winchester’?”

“I’d know it was you no matter my age Dean. I could have been 50 and still recognized you. Besides, you’ve always smelled so nice...” you replied half asleep.

A small smiled appeared on Dean’s face. You thought he smelled nice, and you were cuddling him, even if you were probably still being affected by the spell, he would cherish this moment for as long as it lasted.

A Girl and a Ghost Ch. 3: The King’s Revenge

SOOOOO this is the part where the plot thickens :)

if anybody else wants me to tag them in these chapters so you know when they come out i will gladly do so andksnkfs

hope you enjoy! ive had tons of fun with writing these :D

dont mind me, just lettin my frendos know that this is a thing skfnkdjf

@salamifuposey @monsterbride99 aaAAA when i initially posted this i COMPLETELY forgot to do this a a a a a sorry

King Boo was furious.

How could that peasant, that foul impure abomination of a Boo do this to his beloved crown? It contained his power, it was so incredibly important to him...

And that filthy little purple haired brat! How could she so carelessly throw a rock at him like that?

He plopped his body down in a chair and marinated in his own rage for a few minutes.

After a few moments of enraged silence, he spoke.

"...I have got to get my revenge on those two. But... how will I do it?"

King Boo began to brainstorm a way to get the ghost Rabbid and his little idiot friend in hot water.

"Torture? No, no... one of them is a ghost. It wouldn't hurt him... Torture could be done with the little nuisance however. Perhaps a bit of childhood trauma will teach her not to mess with the wrong people." he thought aloud.

He spent almost fifteen whole minutes thinking of gruesome ways to get back at them, until it finally struck him.

"...Oooh, I know. I know exactly what to do now. It'll mostly affect that bloated rabbit, but I can still do some damage to his moronic pipsqueak pal."

He grinned maliciously and floated towards the doors of his manor.

"I'm about to open up some old wounds of yours, Tommy." he said to himself.

———

Meanwhile, Phantom was racing through the sky with Jawaii in his arms, panicking. He would never let King Boo lay his foul hands on her.

They were both absolutely dead silent the whole time until Jawaii opened her mouth.

"...Do you know that guy?"

Phantom halted for a moment and looked down at the young alien he held. "...Yes, I do, but I don't think I would like to go into detail at the moment. We have a very... rough history, I will say."

"Oh... I get it. It's okay, I won't pry. I understand." Jawaii said.

"Just remember that if King Boo ever tries to hurt us, I'll make sure he will regret it for the rest of his days." promised the Rabbid ghost. "I swear on it."

Phantom resumed his flight and soared down to the ground safely. He gently set her down in the grass.

"That was actually really fun! We should do that again sometime! ...without being scared off by an evil ghost, obviously. That would just make it less fun." said Jawaii.

"I'm glad you were entertained, I suppose... King Boo is quite intimidating. And rude." said Phantom.

Jawaii put her hands on her hips. "Well, yeah! I mean, he made fun of your weight! No friend of mine is getting made fun of like that!"

Phantom laughed a bit. "Oh, don't worry, I wasn't that harmed by that statement. I er, get that all the time."

She frowned. "Why do people tease you about that, that's dumb! Besides, I think you're perfect just the way you are!" She gave him a hug.

He hugged back and smiled. "Awww... thank you. I was born like this, I can't help it you see."

"You're a giant fluffy singing ghost bunny with a mustache, I have no idea how anybody could hate THAT! Cuz I don't."

"Oh, don't make me blush from all of these compliments!" said Phantom, smiling.

Jawaii jokingly grinned evilly. "Never. I'm gonna shower you in compliments 'til you DROWN!"

She cackled maniacally as she began relentlessly saying nice things about him with Phantom begging her to stop. Soon, it became a full-on flattery war to see who could out-compliment the other. They had a grand old time.

Eventually, the sun began to set.

"Oh yikes, I better get home. I had no idea we stayed out here for so long! Mom is probably having a heart attack as we speak!" said Jawaii.

Phantom was quite alarmed, his ears sprung up in worry and concern. "She's having a what?! Oh, poor child, I hope your mother is all right..."

She burst out laughing hysterically.

"Wh-what's so funny? I thought your mother was dying!"

"No, dummy! That was an exaggeration, I meant that she's probably WORRIED about me!" Jawaii continued giggling like a maniac.

"Ah. I see now... Thank you for correcting me!" Phantom joined in on the laughter.

They got themselves together after a moment.

"Oh yeah, mind if you could fly me over to my house..? We're kinda far away from home." said Jawaii.

"Of course!" Phantom replied happily.

Jawaii climbed on his back and the two flew home.

———

After flying back to town, Phantom gently set Jawaii down in front of her home.

"See you soon, my friend. I enjoyed showing you around Spooky Trails today!" said Phantom.

"Cya tomorrow Phantom! I had a good day today too!" She ran up to him and gave him one last hug.

She walked up to her door and waved goodbye to Phantom. He waved back.

"Moooom! I'm hoooome!"

Jawaii's stepmother Stella ran in.

"Oh, Jawaii! Thank goodness you're all right! I was so worried, where were you?"

"Sorry I came home late! But I spent today with a friend of mine."

Stella had a look of pleasant surprise on her face. "You made a friend? That's so wonderful! I know you haven't really ever had any friends, honey, I'm so happy to hear that you finally made one!" She smiled.

Jawaii grinned. "Yeah! I'll tell you allllll about him! He's the best."

They sat down at the dinner table with the food Stella made.

Jawaii dug into her mashed potatoes and ate it like a wild animal that had nothing to eat for the past 3 weeks.

"Honey, chew slowly. I don't want you choking!" said Stella.

"Sorry, Mom..." Jawaii said, frowning.

"It's okay. I don't want you in the hospital or anything, especially after you just made a new friend!"

"Oh, I've known him for a while, actually. We've been hanging out together a lot!" she smiled, her mouth still full of food.

"...Jawaii, sweetie, don't talk with food in your mouth.“

"Oh yeah! Sorry again Mom.."

"Anyways, that's why you've been out so much lately? I'm so happy for you, Jawaii!" Stella smiled.

Jawaii gulped down some water. "Yep! I'm glad I'm his friend too!"

They spent dinner talking about all of the fun adventures she and Phantom had gone on.

Jawaii however, conveniently left out any mention of them being in danger, she wouldn't want to worry her stepmother of course!

"Oh yeah! I meant to ask you this, but I got totally sidetracked but where's Dad? And where's Hakai?" asked Jawaii.

"Your father is out destroying planets again, and your sister is having a sleepover with some friends of hers." said Stella.

"Ohhhh. Wonder why Dad's out so late. Hope he's alright."

"I'm sure he's fine, hon."

Jawaii had another sister though, and her name was Roe. She went to a boarding school and wasn't home most of the time.

She stretched and yawned. "Hey Mom, I think I'm gonna hit the hay today."

Stella gave her a small look of surprise. "Oh! You are? Usually you're quite a night owl. Maybe you're just tired from all your little adventures with Phantom."

Jawaii smiled. "Yeah. Maybe. Anyways, g'night Mom! Love ya, don't let the bed bugs bite."

Stella gave Jawaii a hug. "Aww, good night sweetie. Love you too.”

Jawaii ran upstairs, changed into her nightgown, brushed her teeth and jumped into bed, quickly falling asleep after her long, tiring but fun day.

———

That same night, the Mushroom Kingdom was as quiet as ever when it was nighttime. The once colorful, cheerful inviting land was deathly silent, almost hauntingly so.

Princess Peach was safely tucked in her bed, sleeping peacefully.

But little did the sleeping princess know, this would not remain for long.

King Boo had finally made it to the castle after venturing there to exact his revenge. He knew how dearly Phantom loved Peach. Breaking them apart forever would be the ultimate punishment for stepping on his turf. He knew that either way, the plan would work. If Phantom didn't come to the manor, him and Peach would be separated forever. If he did, however, it would give the vengeful king the chance to trap him and Jawaii in his manor, to torture them and possibly even kill them somehow.

He knew he could kill Jawaii, that was no problem, but Phantom...? Could he possibly do it again? ...No, he's a ghost now. He can't be killed again. But the king knew that even if he couldn't die, he could still make him suffer for as long as he wanted. Possibly even for eternity.

He phased through the castle walls, not having any of the guards notice him. Then, he finally found her room. There Peach slept, defenseless, ready for the taking.

In the blink of an eye, he snatched her from her bed.

Peach immediately woke up and let out a shrill scream of horror, alerting the Toads guarding her door.

But it was too late. He had already burst out her window with her and was headed straight towards his mansion.

———

Tap, tap, tap.

Jawaii woke up very late that night to a tapping sound she heard at her window. She went over to it to find one of the Peek-A-Boos she had met in Spooky Trails, tapping away at her window.

"Hey... aren't you that kid who Phantom is friends with?"

Jawaii rubbed her eye and yawned. "Yeah. Why do you ask? And how are you at my house anyway?"

The Peek-A-Boo had a somber expression on his face. "Well... I have to tell you some... bad news."

Jawaii was horrified of what was about to come out of his mouth next. Did something terrible happen to Phantom?

"His love, Princess Peach was kidnapped by King Boo. And... Phantom is gone. He went off to go save her. Knowing King Boo, Phantom may not come back in one piece. ...The other Rabbids told me it was best to go tell you. That way, you would know where he is. You deserve to know..."

Jawaii was devastated. How could this happen?

She knew she had to save him. And if she couldn't save him... then she wouldn't let him suffer alone.

"...No. I'm not going to let this happen to him."

The Peek-A-Boo was taken aback in surprise by Jawaii's response. "...I dunno if you should go. You're only a kid. You could get seriously hu-"

"I don't care." said Jawaii.

She jumped into her closet and changed into her usual clothes, grabbed a lantern and ran out of the house and into the black, haunted forest that she met Phantom in.

Being Kipos best friend in the burrow and going to the surface with her

~ Lio is like a father to you and Kipos baiscally your sister. You grew up in homes next to each other in the burrow and have been inseparable since you were kids.

~ Your nights and days are filled with making fun games, exploring the caves that surround the burrow, discussing flora and fauna, and playing/singing music. It's always an adventure with Kipo as she brightens any room as she talks and laughs. One of her favorite things to do is sit together or lean against each other and read books while acting out the characters. Sometimes she'll try and make it a small play and invite other friends so everyone's included.

~ Kipos cuddly and often shows her affection through touch. As her best friend you get several hugs a day (sometimes sneak attack ones) and it's your duty to return them in kind. If you don't like touch thought Kipo gives lots of compliments and verbal affirmation instead. Whatever makes you comfortable, she will do.

~ Kipo always talks about the surface and theorizes what it's like with you. She wishes she could go up there but knows she never will. She's fascinated with the idea of mutes and tells you all her ideas of the surface world.

~ You were with Lio and Kipo rock climbing when you felt the tremors. You were slightly under Kipo and nearly fell off the cliff side as the mega mute passed. Suddenly the tremors get worse and you feel yourself falling after Lio unclips you and Kipo. You hear him shouting as you and Kipo are carried away by the current.

~ You're eyes burn when you wake up. The suns brighter than you'd ever imagined. Kipo is looking at everything and you have to pull her away when she tries to touch something that looks very dangerous.

~ You and Kipo are pretty torn up. First things first. You need new clothes, supplies, and food. Having a mini fashion show after stumbling into a store you grab a backpack and rush after Kipo as she runs outside. The Surface is so exciting and new and fun! It's obviously very dangerous and you both have to be careful but it's hard to be careful when there's so many new sights and sounds and feelings!!!

~ When you go to the school and find Mandu you can't help but coo and pet her. Such a sweet and cute mute! You wish all mutes were as awesome as her.

~ It's weird seeing a surface school so damaged and weathered by teh elements and looking at the class photo you wonder what life was like back then. On the surface. No mutes. No burrows. No being forced to be underground... You don't tell Kipo your thoughts but you have a feeling she knows and is probably thinking the same thing. You leave the school to explore more and almost loose your new friend Mandu!

~ Wolf is your first human friend on the surface once you make her not eat Mandu but she didn't start out as the nicest friend. However you could tell she was warming up to you and Kipo quickly. Especially since she was nice enough to help you two find your way home.

~ The Mod frogs are terrifying especially since you've never really seen real mutes before but their also oddly adorable as well. Frogs and toads in suits!!! Jamack gets so confused when you and Kipo coo over him and his outfit until it hits him your burrow people and he's hit the mother load! Wolf ends up saving you thankfully.

~ You meet Benson, and Dave not long after. The surface world is scary and very overwhelming but with your new friends and Kipo by your side you know it'll all turn out fine. Hopefully.

~ Ben and Dave steal your stuff and act like it's fine. You catch up to them and they laugh it off handing your stuff back. Suddenly the Mod Frogs attack and their captured. Kipo of course says go back despite your objections and eventually you save them depsite getting caught yourselves. Thankfully Megabunny furr comes in handy when trying to escape Mod frogs.

~ Once you escape you're fuming! You kick Dave and Bens ass after you save them! How could they betray you like that??? You become very close after but they definitely will not forget your wrath any time soon. They're excited to live in a burrow with you despite Wolfs distase at the idea.

~ As Wolf gets closer and you all truly become a pack your adventure and life on the surface only gets crazier and the mutes only get bigger scarier and stronger. The hunt for your new burrow feels more and more impossible depsite Kipos hope and you wonder if the surface will be your new home. When you learn Wolf tried to sabotage you and Kipo from getting to the new burrow you feel hurt and angry in a way you can't describe but like Kipo you understand and hug her forgiving her.

~ When Kipo learns she's half mute you're the first to hug her and say she's no different. She's still Kipo and you still love her. Wolf isn't so understanding but while Ben chases her you stay with Kipo right as Jamack comes along and kidnaps you. Not the best time JAMACK.

~ The journey is hard and every mute on the surface seems to be after you and Kipo including Scarlemange but you know together you can take on the world. Burrow people or not the surface is no match for you and Kipo.

Disney+ Halloween Movies for Kids: The Best Family Films to Watch This Spooky Season

https://ift.tt/34Fe5tZ

It’s the season for thrills and chills, but if you’re planning to watch movies with your kids as Halloween approaches, you might not be looking for the scariest horror films. Luckily, there’s plenty of family friendly fare on Disney+ to add some spooky to your Halloween season.

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad

When you’re looking for The Legend of Sleepy Hollow on Disney+, it doesn’t come up on its own. The short from 1949 was released in tandem with another short based on the Wind in the Willows. The combined films were released under the full title of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, and that’s exactly what you have to type in to get it to come up.

The story, which is based on Washington Irving’s original text, tells of the ill-fated romance between schoolmaster Ichabod Crane and Katrina van Tassel in 1790 Sleepy Hollow, New York. When Katrina’s unofficial fiance discovers that Ichabod is superstitious, he tells the story of the Headless Horseman—and Ichabod, on his ride home, encounters a pumpkin headed spirit. The next morning, Ichabod is nowhere to be found; a shattered jack-o-lantern and his hat are all that remain. While some younger viewers may find the tale distressing (Disney didn’t pull punches back in the 1940s), those with a taste for ghost stories will happily enjoy their shivers.

Trick or Treat

What happens when Huey, Dewey, and Louie come to Uncle Donald’s for trick or treating? Donald’s full of tricks! Luckily, Witch Hazel takes pity on the nephews and helps them get their just desserts. This 1952 classic is only nine minutes long, so it’s a great short to open your Halloween family movie night! You can also pair it with the 1937 “Lonesome Ghosts” (Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in a haunted house), or the creepy 1936 short, “Thru the Mirror,” an Alice in Wonderland inspired Mickey short.

Mr. Boogedy

This 1986 Made for TV Disney Sunday Movie may bring back childhood memories for parents! In it, a family moves to a spooky New England town only to discover that their house is haunted. The two Halloween-loving parents are inclined to believe that the hauntings are just a practical joke from the creepy old man who runs the town’s historical society.

The kids, on the other hand, are determined to get the evil ghost—a 300-year-old pilgrim whose spurned love caused him to sell his soul to the devil for a magic cloak—out of their house once and for all. With kid heroes (and the creative use of a ghost-fighting vacuum cleaner), this one might be so bad that it’s good.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Yes, technically this is a Christmas film, but there’s not a lot that’s Halloweenier than Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, and the monsters of Halloween Town taking over Christmas.

Christmas Movies on Disney+ Streaming Guide

By David Crow

Released in 1993, this stop-motion animated film from producer Tim Burton was originally deemed “too scary” to be released under the Disney label, but in the years since, it’s become a favorite, especially of older kids and their parents. The characters Jack Skellington and Sally have plenty of reach beyond the original film too, appearing on t-shirts and other accessories worn to celebrate this time of year.

Coco

Coco isn’t officially a Halloween movie, either, but it’s a great way to celebrate both Hispanic Heritage Month (which runs until Oct. 15, 2020) and Dia de los Muertos. Miguel just wants to play music, but in his family, it’s forbidden. When he steals a guitar from a crypt on Dia de los Muertos, he finds himself transported to the land of the dead, surrounded by the beautifully painted skeletons of his dead relatives.

Movies

A Day Inside Pixar

By David Crow

Movies

Putting the Christmas Back in The Nightmare Before Christmas

By Tony Sokol

Unwilling to promise he’ll never play music again, Miguel goes on the run, helped by a scoundrel, Hector, to reach the one person Miguel believes will get him home. This Pixar film hits all the right notes when it comes to family, to music, and to learning how to accept and love people for who they are. It also has alebrijes: beautifully colorful magical animals that assist both the dead and the living through their trials.

Hocus Pocus

Possibly one of the most hotly debated family friendly Halloween films, this cult favorite of the 1990s features three sibling witches who were executed in 17th century Salem (so the witch trials were justified in this world?). But before their deaths, they declare they’ll be resurrected if a virgin lights a magic candle.

Movies

How Hocus Pocus Became a Halloween Staple

By Sarah Dobbs

Movies

Hocus Pocus 2 Finds Director

By Kayti Burt

Flash forward 300 years and a teenage boy finds a way to set them free. There are a lot of ribald jokes throughout, likely to go over the heads of young viewers, and the sisters really are wicked. (Early on, they suck the life out of a little girl and doom her brother to being an immortal black cat.) While for some families, this is a hard pass, for many others, it wouldn’t be Halloween without watching Bette Middler put a spell on you!

Escape to Witch Mountain

There are no actual witches in Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) and its sequels. Instead the first film revolves around two foster children, Tony and Tia, with special powers. When an “uncle” appears to bring them home, they realize he’s a villain who wants to use them, and they escape. Over the course of their adventures, they discover their true heritage: they’re aliens.

Tony and Tia’s adventures continue in Return from Witch Mountain, and the 2009 remake of the first film, Race to Witch Mountain, stars Dwayne Johnson as a cab driver who helps the two alien children (renamed Sara and Seth) to their destination.

Frankenweenie

Another Tim Burton stop-motion film, Frankenweenie tells the story of boy Victor Frankenstein, who resurrects his pet dog, Sparky, but is then blackmailed into telling other neighborhood children the secret behind reanimating their pets. The black and white animation and the somewhat creepy content makes this one better suited to tweens than the younger set, and parents will enjoy the homages to classic horror films in Burton’s storytelling.

Halloweentown Series

If you’re looking for a movie marathon, you might check out the Debbie Reynolds-led series of Disney Channel originals about a town full of witches, demons, skeletons, and goblins. The first, Halloweentown, came out in 1998. In it, 13-year-old Marnie is incredibly frustrated because her mother won’t let her celebrate Halloween. As it turns out, it’s because Marnie’s mother and grandmother (played by Reynolds) are witches; Marnie’s mother wants Marnie to be a regular mortal, but her grandmother wants to train her before she loses her powers forever.

Movies

The Unmade Beetlejuice Sequels

By Simon Brew

After overhearing their argument, Marnie is determined to get to the bottom of her history, so she follows her grandmother back to Halloweentown where she gets embroiled in the quest to find a talisman that will undo a demon curse on the townspeople.

In Halloweentown 2: Kalabar’s Revenge, Marnie, now with two years of witch training under her belt, has to undo a warlock’s plot to trap everyone in the mortal world as the creatures of their Halloween costumes. Halloweentown High features Marnie bringing several Halloweentown teens, disguised as humans, to her mortal high school, posing as exchange students from Canada. In the fourth film, Return to Halloweentown, Marnie (played by a different actress) decides to attend Witch U in Halloweentown for college.

There’s not a lot of serious food for thought in these, but the scare factor isn’t terribly high, and it’s notable as a Disney Channel Original movie series that ran for four films.

Monsters Inc.

For the younger set, there’s nothing better than Monsters, Inc. to bring shivers and giggles together in one film. This is the story of two roommate monsters, Sully and Mike, who work together at the scare factory. One day they find their lives derailed when a human child (supposedly poisonous to monsters!) comes through one of the closet doors that monsters travel through to scare children. They’re determined to get her back safely, with no one the wiser, and end up uncovering not only a huge conspiracy, but a new source of energy for monsters.

The prequel Monsters University hits some of the same scare and humor notes (with a great lesson on embracing who you are, and the skills you have, rather than trying to become something you’re not). If you’ve only got time for one, though, pick the original, and be prepared to hear your kids say “Mike Wazowski” over and over…

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

10 Movies You Should Watch This Halloween 2019

Another Halloween, another chance to check out some classic and unique movies perfect for the season! Halloween is my favorite holiday season with the most ideal weather, cool costumes and decorations, and the perfect time for scary movies. So grab some candy and enjoy these ten cinematic spooks (presented in chronological order):

The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

“To a new world of gods and monsters!”

I first saw this movie years ago as a kid when I received a Frankenstein DVD collection as a Christmas gift from my grandparents. I recently rewatched the film and now as an adult, I realize how brilliantly crafted the movie is especially for the 1930s and how way ahead of its time it is in its subtexts with characters and scenes having deeper meanings related to religion and sexuality. The best of the classic Universal horror movies!

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)

“I’m telling you, Brother, it’s a frightful sight for what goes on Halloween night.”

This little gem is usually forgotten about in the canon of Disney Animation but everyone surely remembers the iconic scene in which Ichabod Crane is pursued by the frightening Headless Horseman, which has become a Halloween season staple. The film also celebrates its 70th anniversary this year so perfect time to watch it if you haven’t seen it (in a while).

Alien (1979)

“In space, no one can hear you scream.”

Ridley Scott’s horror sci-fi movie masterpiece just celebrated its 40th anniversary and recently was rereleased in a new 4K remaster so the film looks sharper and scarier than ever! The film is like a haunted house in outer space, and the Alien creature effects seem so realistic it has me to believe that aliens do exist in reality. There are few sci-fi movie that get as scary as Alien.

Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)

“Listen. The children of the night make their music.”

This movie is a remake of the 1922 classic Nosferatu but the 1979 stands on its own as a master-class vampire movie. I had dinner with the film’s director Werner Herzog in Fall 2012. I was in production on my horror short film “The Masked Phantom” (you can check it out here: https://youtu.be/n_zFhMqHHao) and he gave me wonderful advice on how to craft a good scary movie and really frighten audiences. One of my favorite film career memories!

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

“Michael, go home!”

This entry in the franchise often gets overlooked as “the one with Tina and the clown cops,” but Revenge is definitely the scariest the series ever gets after the first two films. The scenes with Michael in the woods and the laundry chute scene are among the scariest in the series and still give me chills whenever I watch it. I also really like the dark “smokey”-looking cinematography and the emphasis on the Halloween holiday setting itself with heavier use of costumes and decorations compared to most of the other films so it feels like it actually takes place on Halloween.

American Psycho (2000)

“I have to return some videotapes.”

Christian Bale may have won best actor this past year at the Golden Globes for his role as Dick Cheney in Vice but his performance as the menacing bank-exec-by-day/serial-killer-by-night Patrick Bateman is his finest performance. The film perfectly recreates the look and feel of 1980s New York. Christian Bale is scary and psychotic, especially in the scenes where he murders people and tries to hide his crimes! My favorite sequence however is when all the rich guys are in a meeting and get jealous of each others’ business cards even though they all look seemingly identical.

Fun Size (2012)

“My mom is going to kill me.”

This Nickelodeon movie is a fun Halloween film for the entire family. It reminds me a lot of Snow Day, which is my favorite non-Christmas winter movie. Love the Halloween atmosphere with all the costumes and candy and decorations throughout the film. Adults can enjoy it just as much as kids.

Mother (2017)

“Get out!”

I first saw this film in theaters a couple years ago and has since become one of my favorite scary movies. Jennifer Lawrence (my favorite modern actress) gives an incredible performance as do Javier Bardem and the rest of the cast. The film is rich in biblical symbolism which I love because I’m currently enrolled in a Bible study class. Some very scary and disturbing scenes that will tug right at your soul!

Halloween Cat (2018)

My animated short film has been making the short film circuit recently. It’s about a cat in search for candy on Halloween night and comes across a haunted house where spooky things happen. I’m really proud of the work by my filmmaking crew and hope this film will continue to be enjoyed every Halloween season. You can check it out here: https://vimeo.com/277177988

The Fanatic (2019)

“Moose is in the house!”

This new thriller starring John Travolta as a crazed horror-movie fan is by no means a great film, but it is so much fun to watch with Travolta’s terribly cheesy and over-the-top performance. It also makes several scary movie references that horror fans will pick up on. Most hilariously bad movie in recent years!

Happy Halloween 2019 everyone!

Winnie Everlasting (ch 1)

(aka that Tuck Everlasting fic that no one asked for in which Winnie drinks the water when she’s eleven before anyone can stop her)

My eyes were all blurry, and my head hurt from trying to hold the tears back, but I was not about to cry like a baby, especially out here in my yard where anyone could see me. It was so unfair. The fair was something I looked forward to every year, and I had been daydreaming about it for weeks. I knew we were still in mourning, but it had been seven months, and Father would have rather I go to the fair than sat at home doing nothing. It was completely unfair that I wouldn’t be allowed to go!

I saw something move in the road. Confused, I went up against the fence in the hopes of seeing it better. It was brown and lumpy….and it hopped!

“Toad!” I said, excited that my friend seemed to have returned. “You came back! I guess that means you’re basically my only friend. In that case, I’d better warn you that you don’t want to hang around here. It's no fun.” The toad seemed to consider my advice, because he paused in his hopping towards me, before turning around, and hopping right back towards my wood.

“I wouldn’t want to stay here either,” I said. The toad continued to hop, across the road, and towards the wood.

“This yard is more like a cage. I can’t even go to the fair! No adventures here,” I said to myself, seeing as the toad was too far away to hear me properly. I can’t even talk to the toad, I thought sadly, looking at the gate that separated us. Wait….the gate….which only shut with a latch. No key required. And no Mother to say no.

Quietly, I walked over to it. I knew that I wasn’t allowed to play outside of it. But I was sick and tired of being told what I could and couldn’t do. If Mother wasn’t going to take me to the fair, I would just have to go myself. I knew where they would hold it. I knew when it was starting. And while I waited for it to start, I could explore my wood. I’d never even set foot in it!

I carefully unlatched it, pausing, as I half expected Mother to come back out and tell me to go inside, and that I wasn’t allowed in the yard anymore. But she didn’t. No yelling happened. I opened the gate. Still nothing. I could go.

A feeling of fear washed over me. I’d never been out without a parent with me before. I knew that if I did this, I would be grounded for forever and a half. I shook myself. When would I get another chance to explore the wood, something I’d wanted to do for a long time now? Maybe I could find out what that music was. And I could go to the fair! Taking a breath, I stepped out of the yard, and walked across the road to the wood.

“Toad, wait for me!” I called quietly, still a little worried that my Mother would try to stop me. I plunged into the woods.

I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, but I loved what I found. The trees hid me from the almost unbearably hot sun, and cast a dappled shadow on the ground, which was covered in a soft carpet of old leaves. Now that I was actually out here, I couldn’t help the excitement I felt. I ran, laughing at the ecstatic feeling that the excitement of doing something new and the danger of getting in trouble brought me. The woods were beautiful! And there were no Mothers to tell me what I could and couldn’t do! I felt free for the first time in seven months.

I entered a clearing, and stopped laughing almost immediately. An ash tree stood on the other side of a small spring. Just by standing there, I could tell that this was a quiet place. It felt different somehow. Older. It commanded respect in the same way that a church might. Looking away from the tree, I saw Toad at the edge of the spring.

“Toad!” I said, still feeling energetic and excited, but making an effort to be quiet and respectful. I walked over to him. “I ran away! I’m going to the fair!”

Toad didn’t respond, so I looked at the spring. The water was clear, and clean, and seemed like it would be a wonderful reprieve from the August heat. Crouching down, I scooped a mouthful up in cupped hands, and took a sip.

“What are you doing?!” a voice shouted, breaking the silence of the clearing. A hand roughly spun me around, and I found myself looking at a boy who didn’t seem much older than I was. “Spit that out now!”

I was so shocked that I swallowed. His eyes went wide, realizing what I had done.

“Oh no. Oh no. This is bad. This is very very bad.” the boy sank to the ground, in shock, curling in on himself. His breathing became very labored, as if he couldn’t get air into his lungs. I felt a similar fear rising in my throat, and did my best to force it down.

“Hey, it's fine. Everything's fine. Just please breath. Take a deep breath.” I said, doing my best to mimic how my dad had talked to me whenever something similar happened to me. Trying not to panic like he clearly was. I put my hand on his back. That seemed to help snap him out of it. He looked at me, evidently seeing the fear on my face. He took a shaky breath, and stood back up.

“I’m good. Sorry, I’m okay,” he said. He looked anything but okay, but at least he was breathing again.

“What exactly was that about?” I asked carefully.

“The water...and now...you’re….forever….and- and,” the question seemed to be spiraling him back into the panic he’d had before, so I backpedaled quickly.

“Hey, no, nevermind. I’m Winnie Foster. What’s your name?” I asked instead, grabbing his hand and shaking it.

“Jesse Tuck,” he answered, hand limp in mine. He was still looking at me like I was about to die, and I tried to think of something else. I thought back to what my father had done when I was scared like that. He’d distract me with a game, or something.

“Do you like to climb trees?” I asked, saying the first thing that came to mind. He looked at me, surprised, and nodded. “Can you show me how?”

“What, didn’t anyone ever teach you how?” he asked, a small smile appearing. I shook my head. Mother hadn’t allowed me to play outside of the yard, and there were no trees there. I’d never had the chance to learn. His panic from earlier seemed to dissipate almost instantly. “A kid who doesn’t know how to climb trees? What do you do all day?”

“Lessons and chores,” I answered.

“Well that’s no fun! I can’t allow this to continue. Come on!” he said, practically dragging me over to the big ash tree. I couldn’t help but laugh. The boy seemed to radiate energy and it was impossible to not be excited. He began climbing, leaving me on the ground.

“What do I do?” I asked, wanting to join him, but unsure of how.

“Look at where I’m putting my hands and feet. You need to find a sturdy branch, and pull yourself up. And don’t look down,” he said, pulling himself further up into the tree. I did my best to mimic his movements, grabbing the branches that he had, and paying attention to his footholds. It was clear that he did this a lot. His movements were practiced and graceful, and I was sure he spent as much time in the air as he did on the ground.

When we were high in the air, he paused.

“Come up here, Winnie,” he said. “Put your foot there, and grab that branch,” I followed his instructions, and found myself in a position where I could see the view.

“Woah!” I said, eyes wide at the world spread before me. There was Treegap! I could see them setting up the fair! And over there was the store. And that meant….I followed the road with my eyes until I came to my house. “That’s where I live! I can see the top of my house!” I told Jesse, pointing to the small roof.

“Look over to the west! You can see the mountains!” he said, just as excited. “And there’s the ocean over to the East! And you can see a storm cloud over to the North! Maybe it’ll start raining!”

“It's like we’re on top of the world!” I said.

“WE’RE ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!!” he shouted, and I laughed.

“This is the coolest thing I’ve ever done!” I said, turning to him. “I can’t believe this has been here this whole time, and I never even knew.”

“You haven’t seen the half of it yet,” he said, continuing his upward climb. “Wait till we get to the highest branches.”

I took one last look, and saw something down at the base of the tree. Or rather, someone. Two someones.

“Jesse, there’s someone else down on the ground,” I said. He turned, and looked where I was pointing.

“It's Ma!” he cried, excitedly. “She’ll know what to do! Come on, Winnie. Let me introduce you to her. She’ll love you!”

“Okay. Who’s the other one?” I asked. He looked again.

“Miles. On second thought, wait for me to introduce you, and then come down, okay?” he asked. I nodded, slightly nervous.

We made our way down, doing our best to be quiet and unobtrusive. We didn’t do a good job, but the two were locked in conversation, so they didn’t notice us anyways.

“Wait here,” Jesse said when we were almost to the ground, before jumping out of the tree. And when I say jumping, I mean he literally jumped the last ten feet. The height was enough that I was amazed that he landed unhurt.

“Ma!” he shouted, running to hug her. I wondered how long it had been since he last saw her. It seemed like it had been a while. “So, uh...I have something I have to tell you?”

“Tell us at the cabin. You know it's not safe to talk here,” said the man. He was tall, and had dark hair, but had such a similar look to Jesse that they had to be brothers.

“Always great to be reunited, Miles,” replied Jesse.

“I see you’re still playing in trees,” said Miles, bending down to Jesse’s eye level.

“I see you still can’t take a joke,” said Jesse in the same sarcastic tone.

“Boys!” their mother said, breaking up the fight before it could really begin. She turned to Jesse. “You said you had to tell me something?”

“Uh, yeah. Um...you know how you always say that good things come in small packages?”

I’d like to say I chose to descend from the tree gracefully at that point in time, but in all honesty, I slipped and fell. My foot slipped out from under me, and I was left hanging by my hands. I realized I would be descending much in the same way that Jesse had, and, figuring if the fall wouldn’t hurt him it wouldn’t hurt me, I dropped. Luckily I wasn’t hurt. Unluckily, I was early.

“Hello!” I said, brightly, trying to act like I’d done that on purpose.

“Not yet!” Jesse told me urgently.

“We climbed a tree. I saw the top of my house! It was great!” I attempted to explain. Probably not very well, looking back on it.

“A child?! I always knew this day would come, that someone would discover us, but a child?!” Jesse’s ma said. I couldn’t tell if she was angry or scared or both, but I shrank behind Jesse.

“I thought you said they would like me?” I asked him.

“She’s not just a child, she’s also my friend,” he said, trying to calm his family.

“Jesse,” Miles walked over, his height making him appear slightly threatening, “please tell me your friend doesn’t know about the….you know.”

“Know about the water?” I asked without thinking.

“Oh boy. Jesse!” Miles said angrily.

“This isn’t my fault,” Jesse attempted to defend himself.

“It never is!” Miles replied, before turning to their ma. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”

“Unfortunately, yes,” she answered, before turning to me. “Please know that as a mother, I don’t approve of what we’re about to do.”

I turned to Jesse, about to ask what was happening when a coat covered my face. I screamed as someone hoisted me up over their shoulder. Miles probably, going by the height.

“Let’s get her to the cabin! Your father will know what to do!”

“Winnie, are you alright?” I heard Jesse ask. I screamed again, because no I was not alright because they were kidnaping me!

“If she can scream, she can breathe lets go!”

The Great Mall adventure -Bruce Wayne/Batfamily x Reader

Love the mall idea :-), and because I thought it might be redundant to write another story about shopping things, I joined two requests together, the mall thing, and @dannysanime‘s request. Again, I feel like it’s “meh”, like I could write better...it’s really one of those months you know, Hope you guys will still like it :

You can find my masterlist here : @ella-ravenwood-archives

_______________________________________________________________________

-Dick, I swear to the gods, if you do not make up your mind right now, we’re leaving you here. You’ll have to sleep in beds from Ikea, and rely on people’s charity to eat every day. We’ll come visit you sometimes though.

Your husband laughed at your words, but immediately glared at some paparazzi taking pictures from a corner. Those people always thought they were so damn sneaky, while flashing you right in the face with their cameras. Idiots. Under the famous “bat-glare” (or “Wayne-glare” for that matter), the two paparazzis slowly backed away, but Bruce knew they’d come back.

-But moooom ! How can I choose so fast ? I don’t know if I like the blue suit or the black suit, or the white and black, or the...

-So fast ? We’ve been here for three hours Dick !

-Mom, buying a suit is serious business, you can’t expect me to choose one in less than...five hours !

-Let’s just buy them all then ! So we’re finally done with it. I’m hungry. You know I get mean when I’m hungry boy. Especially in my current condition !!

Bruce smiled at you, and wrapped an arm around your waist, his free hand resting lightly on your swollen belly, and laid a kiss on your forehead. You calmed down a bit, but your other sons looked at Dick, a slight panic in their eyes. You were kinda mean when hungry normally, but now that you were pregnant and had to eat for two...they weren’t up for your constant sarcasms right now. Your oldest kid got the message, taking all of the suits he pre-selected in his arms. He stopped in front of his father, and Bruce slipped his debit card in his mouth (since his arms were full you know).

-Heeeere we go, now come on every body, let’s go let’s go let’s go !

***********************

Whenever Bruce had a (rare) day off, you’d always make sure to get the entire family together, and do something, an activity of any sort. Spent the day with each other. Last time you went to the fair and had a blast. But today, you all needed new clothes for an important gala coming up, the children needed some supplies for school, and you decided that a day at the mall didn’t sound that bad. You usually had a fun time, dodging paparazzis, eating junk food, buying things you didn’t really need and would donate later on...It was just a fun and useful time together.

Besides, you were now six months pregnant and you guys needed to buy everything for that new baby coming, as you never had one home...It was scary and exciting at the same time. But you and Bruce, and your children as a matter of fact, were ready to welcome this baby boy (yup, another boy...) into this world.

So here you were, in the mall, and just as Alfred let you guys out of the car, the first flash from cameras happened. You got pretty good at ignoring them, so you just walked past the photographers as if they weren’t there. You had to stop Jason from flipping them off, but you were pretty sure you saw Bruce do it...He hated paparazzis with a passion.

-Ok so, let’s start by buying the suits, if I know you guys well, it’s the thing that’ll take the longest.

By “you guys”, you really meant “Dick”, as he was the slowest one. Damn he could be so annoying when shopping for clothes...

*********************

And sure enough, he took his damn time. When you saw him and almost thirty suits, you knew it was going to be long.

You found your dress pretty fast, knowing what you wanted. It was one of those fancy clothes for pregnant woman, (your favorite color), and even with a swollen belly, you looked absolutely fantastic. Quite sexy. At least, that’s what Bruce thought. He bent down to whisper it in your hear and you couldn’t help but smile. His own smile was so bright and beautiful that you had to kiss him, and so you did.

It always grossed your sons, but you and Bruce were so in love with each other that you could rarely keep your hands away from the other. You always had to touch in someway, and sometimes, you’d completely forgot that people were around you, and that you probably shouldn’t just make-out on the spot.

Like right now. Tim and Damian nudging you in the ribs brought you back to reality. Jason and Dick were shielding you guys from paparazzis, and, a bit embarrassed, you both let go of each others. Or almost, as he kept your hand in his.

Jason found an absolutely wonderful dark blue suit that made his eyes pop out. You thought he looked handsome, and wondered where the years went...it seemed only yesterday that this young nine year old boy came home with Bruce, and now, he was already nineteen. How the Hell did that happen ?

Tim wanted to stay classic, and found a black tuxedo that fitted him perfectly. He looked like a young James Bond, and you were sure that he was going to break some hearts one day. One day because, he was too young to date. Come on, fifteen. No. When he was twenty maybe ?

Damian opted for a very cute dark red three pieced suit. Oh my your baby looked so good in that ! “Baby”...You decided that, even when the actual baby would be born, you wouldn’t stop calling him that. They would all be forever your babies...No matter how much they hated the nickname.

And Dick. Oh Dick. Bless that boy. He left with six different suits that he was able to narrow down from his thirty first choices...

Bruce found a black tuxedo too, understanding Tim and his “let’s stay classic and classy” idea. He looked as handsome as usual. That man could wear a burlap sack and still look good. And you knew you weren’t biased on that because he was the man you loved, everyone always thought he was damn good looking. Which never annoyed you, because you were the one with the ring.

You looked at your husband for a minute, and just let out a contended sigh. Never in a million years would you have ever thought you’d be so happy one day. And yet, here you were, in front of the love of your life, with four wonderful children, and another one on the road...Perfect. Or almost perfect, you were getting hungry.

With a kiss to your Bruce while the children paid for the clothes, you went to the nearest fast food available.

*********************

-No but for real Bruce, I love you, but you’re a freak.

He sighed, again with that...Why did you thought it so weird that he ate his burgers with a knife and fork ?

-Really ? We’ve been married for over ten years, and you’re still not use to it ?

-I’ll never get used to it dear. For real. Ne-ver. I still think it’s quite sexy though...

You winked at him, and he couldn’t help but smile.

-Oh yeah ?

-Yes, but then again, you could do anything and I’d find you sexy.

-That’s funny, you know why ?

He scooted his chair closer to you, and one of his hand went to hover behind your neck, while the other took one of your hand and entwined his fingers with yours. You held your breath.

-Why ?

-You could do anything and I’d want to make l...

-WOW WOW WOW TIME OUT, TIME OUT ! You guys. Every time. Every single time.

You turned to your youngest son, Damian, a bit surprised. Again, you guys were just so in love that sometimes, you forgot your surroundings...

-You need help parents, really.

-I kinda agree with Dam’s, it gets old this lovey dovey behavior...

-Yeaaah, I agree with Damian and Jason, sometimes, it’s a bit over the top you know ? You guys should try to get a bit less in love when in public.

-I don’t agree with them. You bought me a cream colored suit. Nothing can be wrong with people who let me buy a cream colored suit.

For some reason, Dick’s words made you burst out laughing. Damn those boys, they always made you so happy. When your fit of laughter (that spread to all your family members) finally subsided, you managed to say :

-Oh man, I love you guys, I love you so much.

-We love you too mom.

-Yup, love you from the Earth to the Moon, and back.

-Love you like a hobbit loves his second breakfast !

-...Wait wait wait, I wasn’t ready, I don’t have...Hum...Oh well, no need for fancy words, I love you mothe...mommy.

Did they really have to melt your heart like that ? ...You hugged them, and you all finished your food. When you started to go, Bruce grabbed you by the waist, letting the boys take a bit of advance on you guys.

-I’m a bit jealous sweetheart.

-Good.

-That’s not nice.

-I’m not a nice person.

-That’s not true, you’re the best.

-Cheesy fucker.

-Only because of you.

-I love you.

-I love you too (Y/N).

But before you could resume one of your heated kiss in front of people (because you know, the forgetting your surroundings thing), a flash blinded you, and Bruce turned around with the speed of a cheetah, to glare at the paparazzis from earlier. With a sigh, you took his hand in yours, and left for the baby section of the mall.

********************

-Alright boys, you have the next few hours free, and your dad’s gold card. Don’t go too crazy, buy things you need and stuffs. No weird things, I’m talking to you Timothy Drake Wayne, do NOT buy another poisonous toad please.

A bit pouty, Tim follows his brothers, and you hope to god that you won’t be called by mall security because they did something that got them in trouble...With a sign of your head to Dick, you signify to him to be the responsible adult he should be, and he nods with a smile. ...You hoped more than ever that they’ll behave.

And it’s time. Time for the baby shopping. A bit excited, a bit scared, your hand in Bruce’s, fingers intwined, you enter the baby shop.

Bruce looks around awkwardly, unsure of what to do, and you squeeze his hand. He turns to look at you :

-Hum where...where do you want to start ?

-I don’t know...I...I’m not sure...Furnitures ? Crib ?

-Maybe we can ask someone ?

-I think we should.

And on that note, you approach an employe of the shop, and she...screech. Very loudly. Bruce grimace, and you can’t help but put your hands on your ears.

-Oh my god oh my god, O.M.G !!!!! I can’t believe it ! You’re the Waynes !! We were talking with my colleague about how lit it would be for you to come in our store for your future baby and...here you are !!

You force a smile on your face, and Bruce decides to take advantage of his famousness, something he rarely did. He could see the two paparazzi that have been following all day in the corner of his eyes, and so he asked :

-Yes, here we are. Do you think that, by any chance, we could...privatize the shop ?

He points at the paparazzi, and the girl understands. She nods and goes to close the shop’s doors.

-The shop is all yours Mr. and Mrs. Wayne.

Bruce gives her a charming smile, and you can’t help but chuckle to yourself. Oh that man. The girl blushes a bit, and starts to help you navigate the shop.

You buy an amazing crib and smile at the mere thought of your future son in it, you feel Bruce’s arm wrap around your waist, and bring you next to him. He kissed your forehead, and you were pretty sure you heard the employee trying to muffle her “aaaawwwww”, which makes you smile at her too. She blushes once again, and your husband chuckle. It always worked for both of you. You were just very attractive and charming people.

You get some furniture to put the babies’ stuffs away. You buy cute lights to put in his room, and so many things...it’s overwhelming. You find the cutest teddy bear you ever seen.

As you turn to Bruce during the shopping, all smiling and things, he can’t help but kiss you. He looks at you fondly, falling in love with you all over again. He can’t believe that in three short months, you’d give birth to his son, a child he’ll be able to see grow up. A child he could raised from the beginning. It made his heart beat wildly.

You went to the clothe section, and a special item caught your eyes. You showed it to Bruce, who smiled. Of course you would.

It was a cute onesie with the bat-symbol, and written “Batman to the rescue” on it. There was also a Nightwing one, and a Robin one. Hell there was even a Red Hood and Red Robin one ! Good, so that your sons won’t be jealous. You took one of each. And bought some other really beautiful clothes. There was a pyjama that looked like a suit, and you thought it was so funny that you bought it.

You packed on pacifiers and other baby bottles, just to be sure...You pretty much bought everything in the store, afraid you’d forget something your baby will need. The girl thought you and Bruce were so damn cute, all worried about getting the right stuffs, and clearly super in love (as you sometimes just kissed each other in front of her, as if you forgot her presence). She was kinda completely jealous of you to be honest...

*********************

You finished your baby shopping, asking the employee of the shop to ship everything you bought to Wayne Mansion. A few days later, an gigantic truck would arrive at your house, and you’d think about how you might have been a bit overboard with your shoppings...

You met with the boys, who were so proud that hey only bought essentials. School supplies and...a shit tons of video games, DVDs, and candies. Of course. They warned their father that they also bought stuffs for some kids that were in it the stores that just sounded like they needed it, and their parents couldn’t afford the things. Nice boys.

You went home with all your shoppings, joking on the way home, telling Alfred the story of your day at the mall.

The next day, all the newspaper in Gotham read the headline : “The Waynes out on a great shopping mall adventures !” and you couldn’t help but cringe at those stupid articles titles.

The pictures were great though. Hilarious even. In all of them, Bruce was glaring at the photographers, while the rest of you ignored them, and it was just the funniest thing ever.

-For real dad, you should be used to it by now haha !

-Look hahahaha look at his face hahaha he’s like...Ebenezer Scrooge or something haha...

-Or the Grinch. “I’m never happy, I’m gonna be broody forever” hahaha.

-I don’t sound like that !

-Oh but honey, you kinda do haha. Good one Dick.

-Oh my god look at his face now haha, he’s soooo pissed.

It went on for hours, you and your sons teasing Bruce.

The only pictures where he didn’t look grumpy were the one where he kissed you...oops, never mind, even on one of those he had his eyes open and looked at the paparazzi taking the picture angrily.

Ooooh Bruce.

**********************

Three months later, the first pictures of Thomas Clark Wayne appeared in the paper, and this time, Bruce couldn’t look grumpy in any of the photos.

It pisses me off so much how in the books Parvati and Lavender are just pidgeon-holed as 'fashion obsessed hair heads' for most of the books?

I mean, they might not be, but that was the impression pre-teen!me got from reading the books?

And now I'm all ... okay, okay Hermione is awesome and we all know it.

But that doesn't mean Lavender and Parvati are stupid just because they are geared differently from Hermione.

Fashion is hella hard and it requires a lot of memorization and attention to detail? And honestly Lavender and Parvati seem to be pretty nice people, in the little glimpses we get of them?

And all I want is Harry, following the Weasley without getting noticed (because he is used to sneaking around without disturbing people or attracting their attention, owing to the Dursley for that) and getting through the barrier and on the train.

And Lavender's father helping him out with his baggage, jokingly asking him to keep an eye on his little girl? You seem like a good lad, my Lavender is the most beautiful girl, I need a strong gentleman to keep an eye out until she gets to Hogwarts and she starts to learn magic, so are you up to it?

Which is, of course, not true. Lavender has been going to self-defense lessons for years.

But the man noticed that this was a little kid with no parents around, looking all alone.

He thought 'hey, maybe I can stick him with my kid and they'll make friends'

(btw, as Lavender is not, as far as I know, confirmed as pureblood in canon, I am going with half-blood or muggleborn for her, I'm thinking muggleborn for this specific AU?)

And Lavender is all "Daddy!" and apologizing to Harry for her dorky dad the moment he is out of the door.

And very nicely avoiding to comment on his clothes because she knows how it feels to be conscious of how your clothes look on you and it's clear to her eyes that the way Harry is dressed he is probably from some orphanage or something because those are huge hand me downs.

(Because fuck you 90s, being fashion conscious doesn't mean you are an elitist bitch).

And her parents are looking at her from the Platform and instead of asking about Harry's life, not wanting to put him on the spot, Lavender waves to them and starts talking to Harry all "Those are my parents, they are so fascinated with the idea of magic and what I will learn at Hogwarts, I can't wait to write to them all about the castle. My dad works in an office as an accountant and my mother has a column in --" Insert popular teen magazine for 90s UK.

And Harry is a bit overwhelmed but Lavender isn't staring at him, she is not forcing him to talk and she looks nice.

So he kind of starts to tell her about the Dursely y'know, not like he did with Ron about how terrible they are, but about Vernon working for Grunnings (Lavender giggles and says 'Oh I am so sorry but it just sounds like a really silly name? Grunnings.' and she tries to stretch the word a bit and Harry laughs a little and says yes, because it does sound silly the way she’s saying it, he just had never thought about it. 'I think it's Swedish or something' he offers and Lavenders nods sagely because yes, that makes sense) and how Petunia lives at home and reads all sort of gossipy papers, but not teen ones so sorry, he has never seen Lavender’s mom’s column.

And then the door to their compartment open and Parvati and Padma's mother (I don't know if they are pureblood but I'm headcanoning them as pureblood for this one) politely asks if there's space for two more girls and when Lavender and Harry, after looking at each other, agree, Madam Patil levitates their trunks in (much to the amazement of Harry and Lavender) and settles them above and then guides her daughters in.

She introduces them, putting her hands on her shoulders, cautions her girls to not get wand-happy and wishes everyone a happy Hogwarts year and then leaves them there, going back to the Platform to join her husband and tell him how she left their daughters in the presence of Harry Potter.

"He looked dreadful. Hard up at the very least. I think you should look into his family situation. His clothes, at the very least, were terrible." She murmurs, softly. "I am sure our girls will adopt him before the ride is over, so you should look forward to hearing about him in their letters."

Her husband, who knows all about his beloved's wife tendency to take people under her wing and adopt dangerous animals and fell in love with her for it (as well as for other qualities she has) because he’s very much the same, smiles fondly at her for the last bit and nods seriously at the first one.

It doesn't matter who the boy is. Well it does, because Harry Potter of course, but it also doesn't matter because no child should be mistreated.

Also it's kind of strange that Harry Potter would look hard up, considering it's common knowledge his parents left him handsomely provided for, full tuition to Hogwarts already paid.

Lavender gushes about how beautiful the Patil twins are, which immediately conquers Parvati, who gushes right back at Lavender's sparkly accessories.

(Look, I might be wrong because this was the UK and not Italy, and if I am please let me know, but I was a child in the 90s, I bought italian teen magazines, sparkly shit taped to the cover under a plastic sleeve was the shit with fashionable people.)

Of course the moment Harry introduces himself, the Parvati twins try really hard not to goggle, though they do look at his scar, and then Parvati starts asking a storm of questions about where he grew up, whether the Harry Potter adventure books right about all he did since he was a child, if not that what did he do since beating You-Know-Who.

Harry 'Do you mean Voldemort?' is greeted by soft gasps, right until Lavender asks 'Who?' and then Parvati starts telling her all about the horrible Voldemort and how Harry and his parents saved them all from that monster.

Padma's brain on the other hand is whirring and she is the one who reassures Harry that he will do just as fine as everybody else, when he says that.

Lavender and Parvati interrupt their convo because Lavender needs to assure to Harry that she's muggleborn too, so they will have to learn together and he will be just on par with her, while Parvati explains that magical kids do get a leg up because some of them are allowed to practice at home but that really, she will make sure Harry is up to date with everything that is 'stupefy' about the magical world.

At which point, Lavender asks what 'stupefy' means and Padma explains that it's the stunning spell, so don't say it while pointing your wand at anyone and Parvati adds that it means, well, the most stunning things around.

(What? Wizarding children should have their own slang).

So by the point Hermione and Neville come by, the group as already made the first basic ties and while Neville is greeted and introduced by Padma and Parvati to the rest of the group, Hermione goes on fine right until she hears Harry's name.

Padma and Parvati thinks it's ... whatever wizarding equivalent is there of gauche, that Hermione would throw that torrent of words at Harry and just ... presume to know about him.

Lavender is just hella protective of her new friend.

Tightly knit protective of Harry formation is achieved in 0.2 seconds.

Neville, who has been around other pureblood children but has been condescended upon by most of them (not Padma and Parvati, given that Parvati will stick up for him later on, but still, it was a general tendency towards a potential squib) has found in Hermione one person who has been nice to him to the point of going out of her way to help him look for his embarrassing toad, so he gets protective of Hermione right back.

So basically, Parvati tells Hermione that she should not barrage people with informations like that, Neville replies timidly that Hermione didn't mean anything bad, she just like quoting sources, Lavender tells Harry that he doesn't have to worry, they'll look up all that stuff when they get to Hogwarts, Hermione gets huffy because of course she didn't mean anything bad, she just thought Harry would know about that stuff, Padma asks why Hermione would think that when Harry has been raised in the muggle world, Neville goggles at the news that Harry was raised in the muggle world.

It's a mess.

And then Draco Malfoy arrives, because he's been making the rounds of the train to look for Harry Potter (saying hi to family allies on the way).

I am not sure who says what to whom for most of the ‘chat’ but what I am sure of is that by the end of it, Neville and Hermione are going to be best friends forever and an united front against snobby purebloods, Padma has icily informed 'Mister Malfoy' that she will be writing to her father about how low the raising standards of the Malfoy have fallen to produce Draco as a result, in response to a snipe Draco made about telling his father about the Patil twins and the rabble they are sticking with, Parvati has informed Crabbe and Goyle that she had not thought they were better than this but they definitely need to find themselves friends who don't just treat them like dumb muscle and Lavender has vowed to herself that it doesn't matter to her how cute Draco Malfoy is or how attractive his silver hair are she will spell his hair and robes to look like something an 80s hairband groupie would wear, just as soon as she learns the necessary spells.

To make it simple, battle lines have been drawn, metaphorical blood has been spilled on all sides and the Harry-Lavender-Parvati-Padma friendship has been set in stone.

Ron, if you are curious about him, found a compartment that had Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas in it and spent a really amazing first ride to Hogwarts.

They both made sure Dean knew how Gryffindor was the best house there ever is and then they explained Quidditch to him and became fascinated when Dean explained football (to americans: soccer) to them, especially once Dean started sketching out schemes and stuff.

There are too many players, but it looks like exactly the kind of team effort chasers have to put together only spread through eleven people and that's just wow.

My Disney Ride-or-Die Rides

I love Disney. Have I mentioned that I love Disney? Because I absolutely love Disney with all of my heart and soul and body.

Part of that love is based on the movies. I grew up watching them and I still watch them more often than I’d care to admit. But a bigger part of my love for Disney is a tradition my family has held since I was 9 months old: visiting either Disneyland or Walt Disney World once every year.

I would like to clarify that Disney didn’t used to be as expensive as it is now, and that as we’ve gotten older my siblings as I have begun chipping in (if not entirely paying for ourselves) when it comes to our yearly family trips. But as the price to visit goes up, my family continues to be savvy with our spending and trying to get the most bang for our buck.

Part of that “bang-for-your-buck”-ness involves getting the most out of our time in the parks. That brings me to today’s blog post.

Not 20 minutes ago, my dad was sitting on Connor’s bed in his room calling out items from a list he found on the internet. Basically, someone decided what the 10 least-worth-it rides were at Walt Disney World, and at least half of them are near and dear to my heart.

After cursing the person who wrote the original list under my breath, I snagged my laptop and decided to come up with my own lists of 5 rides at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World that are overhyped, and 5 rides each that aren’t hyped up enough.

WDW Overhyped:

1. Tomorrowland Speedway

Maybe I’ve just had too many bad experiences on this ride. There have been too many times where the car just…stopped on the track for no apparent reason. Or the steering was broken and sent me (and Connor) klunking back and forth against the track’s metal guide, unable to control where we were going until we finally reached the queasy, miserable end of the “ride.” But waiting an hour or more to be sorely disappointed every time? Not worth it.

2. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin/Dumbo the Flying Elephant/Astro Orbiter

Look, I get it. It’s fun for little kids. Heck, when I was a youngin’ I loved the Dumbo ride in particular. But I’ve seen adults with no kids wait in line for way longer than is worth it, only to sit there unamused for a minute and a half before the hydraulics bring them gently back to the ground. Just…don’t do it. Please.

3. Toy Story Midway Mania!

Alright. I know there are a lot of people (even within my own family) who disagree with me on this one. This ride is extremely whippy and makes me nauseous, which isn’t an easy feat. Maybe it’s just my competitive side, but I always end up with a sore wrist and fingers from tugging the dang string so quickly and vigorously. If you want a better ride like this, the Buzz Lightyear ride at Magic Kingdom is a better way to go, and the line is always shorter. Please, save your neck the agony.

4. Soarin’

I’ll admit, this is a ride worth riding once, maybe twice if you’re really into it. I happily rode it again after they redid the video for it, and it was pretty damn cool if I say so myself. But I won’t ride it again for another couple of years probably unless I’m forced into it. It’s like going to watch an Omnimax movie over and over again; it’s a lot shorter, true, but it’s just as nauseating. On the plus side, it smells amazing!

5. Peter Pan’s Flight

I feel bad for putting this down. This ride is a family tradition dating back to my Grandpa White, who my siblings and I never got to meet; it was his favorite ride, and his love for it is somewhat ingrained in everyone in my family. But… The shortest the line usually is? Approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Most of the time it’s 90 minutes or more. While it’s a very unique ride that’s certainly a staple at the park, it’s best to just wait for a firework show to start before going.

WDW Under-appreciated:

1. Journey Into Imagination With Figment

This was on the person’s original list of “rides that aren’t worth the wait,” and I exclaimed, “No!” when I heard it. This has been one of my favorite rides since I was a child, and to me it embodies everything that the front half of Epcot is about. Science and creativity, balancing curiosity with logic, and allowing your imagination to flow and carry you towards new discovery! Plus, the music is catchy and the line is never too long. What’s not to love?

2. Dinosaur

I don’t care if Disney gets rid of the rest of the Dino-Land park in Animal Kingdom. But so help me GOD, if they get rid of the Dinosaur ride, I will RIOT! In the perfect balance of science, adventure, and amazing air conditioning, this ride is always my go-to ride at Animal Kingdom. Oh, did I mention that Bill Nye the Science Guy narrates the theory of evolution when you’re in line? Even middle school-Kylie geeked out about that!

3. The Carousel of Progress

I will never understand how people don’t flock to this ride. It’s heavily air-conditioned. You get to sit and relax your feet. You’re learning technological advancements over the last 100 years in smaller decade-based increments based on the lives of an adorable family. And again, Disney’s coming in clutch with another catchy song! “There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, just a dream away…”

4. The People Mover

A mixture between air-conditioned and just cool, windy, and shady, the People Mover has a relatively short line and moves forward very consistently. It’s perfect when you just need a break from the pandemonium that is Magic Kingdom, or when your little ones need to rest, or even if you just want to take a peek at some of your favorite rides (i.e. Space Mountain) from an outside perspective.

5. Living With the Land

This is…not exactly a ride most people flock to. They’d rather ride the Frozen ride, or Test Track, or something a little more exciting and “razzle-y dazzle-y.” But let me tell you, Living With the Land is freaking cool. When’s the last time you saw a pumpkin in the plastic mold growing into the shape of a Mickey head?

DL Overhyped:

1. Matterhorn Bobsleds

Aside from the fact that I once almost dropped (and lost) my phone on this ride, it’s just very jerky. If someone hasn’t thrown out their back on this ride yet, I’d be surprised. A tip from a professional, though: the left side is smoother and faster!

2. Dumbo the Flying Elephant (and the like)

3. Toy Story Midway Mania!

4. Autopia

Pretty much the same as the Tomorrowland Speedway above, but…even older. Imagine that.

5. Peter Pan’s Flight

DL Under-appreciated:

1. Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride

Is this ride still around? I feel like I remember someone saying it closed. Regardless, this has always been one of my favorites at Disneyland. Pop your kiddo behind the wheel of the car and let ‘em spin it away! Just…maybe cover their eyes at the end when it’s insinuated that Mr. Toad died and went to hell. It can be…traumatic.

2. Alice in Wonderland

This ride is just…so old-school Disney and awesome. It’s got some of the best aspects of the original Disney rides, like the more traditional-style animatronics and the pull-down lapbars in a peculiar-looking vehicle. You traverse upwards through Wonderland before the doors open up to some higher-up leaves that your caterpillar-mobile traverses before bringing you back to the start of the ride. It’s short, sweet, and perfect if you can catch the line at the right time!

3. Snow White’s Scary Adventure

This is another one that may not be there anymore? I can never remember! But after they took the Snow White ride out at Walt Disney World (later adding the Seven Dwarves’ Mine Train ride to somewhat replace it), this was the only ride dedicated to Snow White left. It’s cute, well-done, and a little spooky in just the right places. But everything ends with sunshine and rainbows as the ride dumps you back into the heat from its air-conditioned bowels.

4. Monster’s Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!

While WDW has the Laugh Floor, nothing quite compares to an actual ride tailored to one of the best classic Pixar movies. Honestly, it’s just like watching the film being fast-forwarded through the less-plot-heavy parts. It’s just…adorable. And worth so, so worth it. Especially for Roz’s comments at the end!

5. Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin

While it’s nice to have the context of the backstory, it’s not necessary to have seen, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” to love and appreciate this ride. Balanced between goofy and a little spooky, even the line as you wait to ride is extremely well done!

Any Disney park is an interesting balance of entertainment, education, magic, and more. It’s important, I think, to work on finding that balance in order to make the most of your trip. If you push too hard, you’ll burn out. If you don’t push hard enough, you’ll miss out. If you follow my advice, you’ll find out that maybe there’s more to visiting Disney than spending an inordinate amount of time standing around and waiting for a ride that may not be worth it.
