love your charactes analytics! 💞 have you thought about jobs in the magical world? how many are there, possible prospects? such as a healer, a teacher, translators, editors... and what could the Potterian heroes work in a world without V? like in fics, James is often written as a Quidditch player, Sirius as a healer/auror/etc, and what about Barty Jr.? Regulus Black? Blaise Zabini? Theodore Nott? others?

Anonymous asked:

hey! what is the total number of jobs in the wizarding world? we know professors, shopkeepers, healers... but what else? and what positions do the workers of the ministry hold besides the minister, his assistant, judges and aurors? and the most important thing: what would the heroes work for if there were no war? who were Sirius, Remus, Lily, Theodore Nott? 👀

Anonymous asked:

Had the Marauders, Lily, and Snape all survived the war (say for whatever reason Lily and James were not killed on Halloween, whether at an order meeting with a babysitter or Voldemort stunning them instead, other explanations, etc), do you have any theories or headcanons for what they would have done with their lives?

Thank you all so much! 😊

Well, when it comes to jobs, basically 70% of their population works at the ministry — therefore most wizards are part of the government. Even Healers seem to be government-adjacent since St. Mungo's seems very connected to the ministry. Those that aren't are most commonly either shop owners (like the Weasley twins, various broom makers, or Ollivander) or entertainers (such as musicians, Quidditch players, and authors). But then you also have suppliers of various magical goods, like wand woods which are grown differently than just any tree or dragon reserves (which I assume supply dragonhide and dragon heartstrings). And you have other writers — academics who write textbooks and journalists. You also have wizards working for Gringotts as either guards or curse breakers. There is also, obviously, the possibility of working at Hogwarts, but there only seem to be eleven professors there, so, Hogwarts isn't a large employer for wizards.

But, like, if we look at Harry's year of 40 students, at least 28 of them would go on to work in the ministry in one of its departments. Now the ministry is big compared to the size of the population (likely too big), and you have many positions there that are practically only there to give someone the minister likes a job. There are bigger or smaller offices and departments, and they all have a different social standing within the ministry. (Think how Crouch Sr was demoted from head of the DMLE to Head of International Magical Cooperation). As basically everything in their society is regulated by the ministry, you literally have an office for everything. There are definitely to many of them for me to just list here and there are many we likely haven't heard of. Like, in canon, the Spell Classification and Regulation Committee isn't mentioned, but it's implied to exist, or the Trace Tracking Office that also isn't mentioned, but I'm convinced is there.

I would add regarding the ministry jobs, that the Ministry of Magic runs on nepotism. If you don't know someone in the right places or are incredibly skilled, it's practically impossible to get a job there. Hence why the Slug Club exists. It allows muggleborns the social mobility and connections they otherwise won't have. This is something I will take into account in my job headcanons.

So, let's take a look at some of these professions and ministry departments with characters (assuming Voldemort doesn't happen/happens partially). This is all very much into headcanon territory, but it was fun to think about.

Mauraders Era

James Potter -

I think the common fan jobs of either a professional Quidditch or an Auror suit James quite well. Both include being active, a sense of adventure and danger for Aurors, and fame and glory for a Quidditch player — all things that fit James' personality quite well. I think, regardless, if he lived he would have worked as a Quidditch player/Auror until he was older and in his retirement would've joined the Wizengamot more full-time, I think.

I personally prefer to say Auror for him. Mostly because I think Sirius would choose to be an Auror and James would join him. "Never saw one without the other", so I like to keep them together.

Lily Potter -

I don't see Lily having a ministry desk job. Even if she probably could get one with Slughorn's recommendation it just doesn't sound like it'll suit her. I kinda see her doing more freelance work and writing for Charms magazines or textbooks. Occasionally making a Wizengamot appearance in James' seat if there's an issue she cares about.

Sirius Black -

As I mentioned in James' section, I see him becoming an Auror. I mean, before his arrest, he had no reason to doubt the ministry, as they were working with the Order in the first war. And I think, going to hunt down dark wizards for a living is exactly the kind of statement Sirius would make against his family.

Severus Snape -

If Snape could choose, I don't think he would become a teacher. I don't think he likes children or teaching enough for that. What he does enjoy, is inventing magic — be it spells or potions. So, I see him, if it was up to him, he'd invent spells and potions. Maybe, if he could manage it (recommendations from either Slughorn or Lucius), he'd find his way to the Committee on Experimental Charms and test experimental charms besides inventing his own.

Remus Lupin -

Remus has a problem called being a werewolf in a very bigoted and corrupt society. If Remus could choose, I think he did enjoy teaching quite a bit, and he does like Defence Against the Dark Arts. I think, if he could, he would be a teacher. I just think he'd have an easier time getting a muggle job and calling in sick once or twice a month.

Barty Crouch Jr -

Not the ministry.

Like, with how much he hates his father who represents the ministry, no way is he going to do a ministry desk job anywhere near his father. I think he liked being a teacher for that one year, and wouldn't mind being a professor as a full-time career. Although, I think his first choice of career would be something more exciting that takes him far away from his father — so I'm going Curse Breaker. He has the skills and grades for that, and I think it'll suit him.

Regulus Black -

We don't know that much about Regulus, but we know he was a Seeker in Hogwarts. So, I'd say professional Quidditch player + living off his family's wealth.

Books Era

Harry Potter -

I already talked in the past about how I don't like Harry being an Auror that much since I think he'd chafe under the authority and the ministry and I think the guy deserves a rest. So, I often prefer to headcanon he went to Auror training with Ron right after the war and decided to return to 8th year during the training cause he felt lost. Ron and he returned to 8th year and Harry decided he didn't want to be an Auror and instead became the DADA professor. I see him eventually becoming Hogwarts Headmaster.

A Harry Potter who was raised by his parents (assuming they lived) might choose a different profession. I think a Harry raised by James and Lily would go on to be a professional Quidditch player.

Hermione Granger -

I know in semi-canon material like Pottermore and in the (for me) non-canon Cursed Child, Hermione joins the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and later becomes Minister of Magic. I personally kinda hate that, since I don't think Hermione would be a good minister. I mean, she'd be better than Fudge, but, I don't know, I don't like it.

I don't mind her becoming the head of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and her and Harry using the Potter Wizengamot seat to improve rights for elves and werewolves. I can also see her becoming an Unspeakable and working to open the department up and actually publish the things they study about magic for the improvement of the wizarding world.

All in all, Hermione is exactly the kind of person who'd be good and happy at a ministry desk job, so I tend to give her one. Now, I think the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures is more her style than being an Unspeakale, even though I said otherwise in the past. But I still like both ideas.

Ron Weasley -

As I mentioned in the Harry section, I see them starting the training together, but after 8th year, only Ron returns to become an Auror. I'd like to see Ron as the eventual head of the Auror Office and maybe head of the DMLE. I think Ron would get along in the ministry better than Harry and it's a job none of his brothers have and therefore create the difference from them (and Harry) he craves. He'll be able to succeed in a way that's all his own.

Theodore Nott -

In Cursed Child, he is mentioned to have made Time-Turners and in the books, he is implied to be taking Ancient Runes or Arithmancy or both besides Care of Magical Creatures. I talked more about his character here, and I personally think his solitary nature + interest in advanced and complex magic makes him a good fit to be an Unspeakable. I mean, studying complex magic and making advancements in magical fields yet unheard of while not talking to anyone for days is just the kind of job Theo would love doing.

Also, if Hermione is an Unspeakable too, they could have a really interesting work dynamic that would start on the colder side (Hermione would talk to him when he doesn't want to be talked to), grow to mutual respect, and eventually friendship.

Luna Lovegood -

JKR stated: "Luna became a very famous wizarding naturalist who discovered and classified many new species of animals (though, alas, she never did find a Crumple-Horned Snorkack and had, finally, to accept that her father might have made that one up)."

And I like this idea quite a bit. I see her also continuing her father's work on the Quibbler on the side and the Quibbler would probably have a large "Magical Nature" section with her own discoveries and some of Neville's writing on Herbology along with other writers.

Blaise Zabini -

I have an ask about him which I'll get to eventually, but I see Blaise having a high-paying ministry job. I just, don't see him doing something super interesting, he'd want the wealth and the status with the least amount of work possible. Like, he'd probably want to go into the DMLE which is considered the most prestigious department, but I see him moving a lot in the ministry to suit his needs. like, he'd start at the Wizengamot Administration Services Office, move to the Obliviators Office for a bit before somehow ending up really high up at the Department of Magical Transportation as the head of the Portkey Office or something. He'd just move to wherever he can get a better position.

Ginny Weasley -

I actually like the canon of her becoming a professional Quidditch player for the Holyhead Harpies. I have no complaints about it, it suits her, she'd enjoy it, and she'd be good at it.

Neville Longbottom -

Like Ginny, I like Neville's canon future as Herbology professor and head of Gryffindor house. Also, I think Harry and Neville could have a greater friendship as two professors at Hogwarts and it could be fun. I think he'd be good with kids and a very caring teacher, not to mention a future famed Herbologist as I see him publishing a few books.

Draco Malfoy -

I know many headcanon Draco as a Healer, and while it's possible, I personally see him getting a ministry job. I don't know why but I see him in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. Like, he is really good with charms and I think he could be great in a Spell Reversal Squad for a few years before rising in the ranks. I think it'll also be a chance for him to do something closer to the muggle world and cement his change, you know? I just kinda like this idea.

[the-francakes]

Locals Only is a year old today!

“If you’re going to surf, I swear to God–” Theo hisses.  

“I just need some water, I promise,” Draco says quietly. “Go back to sleep.” 

He slips out of bed before Theo can stop him. He finds a pair of swim trunks on the floor, then one of his hoodies, and pulls them on before he steps into the hallway light. 

He limps his way down the hall; his left side is sore and raw even though he’s whole again. 

The kitchen is clean. There are no puddles of blood. It looks brand new but doesn’t smell like bleach and cleaning supplies. It smells like magic. 

Draco’s stomach churns. He almost wishes there was some sign that he’d been here, that he lived here, that he almost got to die here.  

He fetches a glass from the cabinet and fills it with the tap. He drinks it greedily. The cold runs through his body, reminding him how his bones touched the air. The box on the counter catches his eye. Its long and skinny rectangle shape doesn’t hide what’s inside.  

Draco reaches out with a finger, tracing his name printed in typewriter font along the top. 

Draco Malfoy  The Shack by the beach Largest Bedroom Between Theodore Nott and Blaise Zabini 

He sets his water cup down and tears open the parchment. The box is cardboard. It’s not exceptional like the one from Ollivander’s. The lid lifts off easily, and there it is. 

Ten inches, made of Hawthorn wood and a unicorn hair core.

Reasonably springy.

His wand.  

READ ON AO3

Locals Only is one of my most favorite fics I've written and maybe one of the hardest as well. Thank you to everyone that has loved it as much as me and supported this little rare triad.

If you ever feel like giving Draco/Theo/Blaise a try, it's a quick 12k read with some smut and a lot of angst. Mind the tags.

The Darkwood Wand

The Darkwood Wand https://ift.tt/pV09Tdw by oliwciastyle Draco Malfoy jest szorstki, zimny i znienawidzony w Hogwarcie. I nie ma z tym problemu. Znowu używa zaklęcia do uruchomienia Szafki Zniknięć, choć w znacznie mniej nikczemnym celu. Tym razem używa Harmonia Nectere Passus, aby połączyć swoje łóżko z łóżkiem chętnej wiedźmy. Ale coś idzie strasznie nie tak i zamiast ekscytującego flirtu z czarownicą, z którą Draco potajemnie się spotykał, w jego łóżku pojawia się wyjątkowo pozbawiona rozbawienia Hermiona Granger. Tak zaczyna się parodia ósmego roku w zawieszeniu, podczas którego nic nigdy nie idzie zgodnie z planem, a dobre uczynki NIGDY nie popłacają. Jego zajęcia z wróżbiarstwa to katastrofa, jego matka codziennie wysyła mu sowę z przepowiedniami zagłady, wściekła łasica prześladuje go po zamku, a jego szalony współlokator z Durmstrangu knuje, by pomścić Czarnego Pana. Każdy dzień wywołuje wewnętrzną bitwę pomiędzy wyrachowaną naturą Malfoya i jego lekkomyślną krwią Black'ów. Każda noc sprowadza Granger, siejąc spustoszenie w jego ciele i umyśle. Draco jest przekonany, że kieruje się prosto do Azkabanu i niemal nie może się doczekać tej podróży. Words: 3109, Chapters: 1/69, Language: Polski Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K.

BIOGRAPHY

Adrian Pucey was born on 16 January, 1978, into the Pucey family, who lived in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England. The Pucey family, among others, generally believed in the concept of pure-blood supremacy, though it is not known whether Adrian believed in the concept himself. He was an only child.

His paternal grandfather was Wilfrid Pucey, and his great-grandfather was Lionel Pucey. He had a great-aunt, Annis Pucey, who was killed in the St. Mungo's Bombing during the Global Wizarding War.

Adrian Pucey would have received his Hogwarts letter in the summer of 1989. Sometime before attending, he also would have most likely purchased his wand, which was made of cedar and dragon heartstring, from Ollivander's in Diagon Alley.

He was sorted into Slytherin House on 1 September, 1989. He made it onto the Slytherin Quidditch Team in his third year and he played the role of Chaser. His playing style, unlike the rest of his teammates, was rather tame. Pucey was notable for being one of the few Slytherin Quidditch players who was not seen to commit a foul or otherwise cheat, despite being on the Quidditch team for at least three years.

He left Hogwarts in 1996 upon the completion of his seventh year of school. His position as Chaser on the Slytherin Quidditch Team was filled by Astor Vaisey, a fourth year at the time.

She had options. Pansy could tell him the truth, or she could play coy. Not give away her hand, not tell him anything, tease him a little… but this was Blaise. She had to be a certain version of herself around everyone but Blaise. So she smoothed out his tie with a gentle touch and shrugged a shoulder. “In life? I’m going to be a potioneer. The best one in the world. I want people to know my name like they know Ollivander’s. Maybe off my mum.” Letting her gaze flicker over him for a moment, Pansy smirked. “Or do you mean right now? Because that’s a very different answer.” The girl’s tone turned flirtatious as she spoke. “But you wouldn’t know anything about that, would you?”

Dark eyes watched the witch as she fixed his tie, his lips pursing as he mused on her words. "Not necessarily the same thing, but close enough. Surely a woman getting what she wants is winning regardless?" He suggested with a small smirk. He had no doubt that Pansy Parkinson was going to go far in life. Smart, beautiful, and cunning as any Slytherin should be. "Tell me Pans, what is it you want then?"

[Podfic] 'The Darkwood Wand' by ThebeMoon https://ift.tt/HrjMvEV by thedramionearchives (dittanyanddreams) This is an audio podfic version of 'The Darkwood Wand' by ThebeMoon, recorded with author permission. Draco Malfoy is harsh and cold and hated at Hogwarts. And Draco is fine with this. He’s even casting the Vanishing Cabinet spell again, although for a much less nefarious purpose. This time he's using Harmonia Nectere Passus to link his bed with the bed of a willing witch. But something goes horribly wrong, and instead of the buzzy flirt Draco's been secretly meeting, his bed keeps delivering an extremely unamused Hermione Granger. So begins Draco’s travesty of an Eighth Year on probation, where nothing ever goes to plan and good deeds NEVER pay. His Divination classes are a disaster, his mother owls him daily prophecies of doom, a rabid she-weasel stalks him through the castle, and his mad roommate from Durmstrang plots to avenge the Dark Lord. Each day sparks an internal battle between Draco’s calculating Malfoy nature and his reckless Black side. Every night brings Granger back again, wreaking havoc with his body and mind. Draco is convinced he's headed straight back to Azkaban and he’s almost looking forward to the trip. Words: 64, Chapters: 1/?, Language: English Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K.

[the-darker-path]

The way that Taylor simply nodded, Draco was right to have guessed she’d know of his old vocational ambitions. Why not? Luna Lovegood was one of her dearest loved ones, family in that found way that they had. And she was the last person who had gotten to see the dying, flickering light of hope in Draco, when he would creep down to the Manor cellar to bring her and Ollivander food, water, and the rare daring medicine.

Knowing the strange, too-smart, otherworldly blonde, Luna still believed in him. She’d likely shared his dreams to Taylor because she believed they were viable, and wanted others to know about them. “Luna told you,” he guessed aloud. “Was it before or after the marriage contract was drawn up?”

Taylor’s trailed off remark made him nod. “Yes, ‘I just,’ too,” he said dryly. “I don’t blame you, so we’re clear. I mean, I know I did--I was cross when I thought you were just, well, that blatantly flying off on me every day to go stay with other men.”

Draco sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Proud of me, I suppose, but I reckon I could crash on Pansy’s couch, or Theo and Blaise’s guest bed.”

He listened to her reply about her parents, and winced when he realized by her question what it had sounded like. “I--just to be clear, that wasn’t snide of me,” Draco apologized. “I asked in curiosity of what you knew, I....yes. It doesn’t matter, you’re right.”

It was sunny, but that didn’t make it warm. “Well, let’s get you a nap,” Draco offered. “And you know what, you’ve got a point about the Manor. We ought to look into getting our own place. Something you like, where you can design a nursery to your preferences. Traditional be fucked.”

This is a little snapshot of Harrypotterfanfiction.com (HPFF) on the eve of its closure.

HPFF is one of many hefty HP archives that littered the internet in the early 00s. When I recorded this data, it housed 85,767 fics. It doesn’t have as overt a focus as many of those old archives, but looking at these stats, you can get a sense of which part of HP fandom it attracts.

--

Notes:

Other & OC = “Other Pairings” + OC/OC, not a gen ship of other+OC.

Format, rating, and era appear to be exclusive (1 tag per fic). Ships and genres are not.

The archive has a set list of tags to choose from including 45 ship tags and 104 character tags. Ship gender is not a metadata category. (I calculated this based on classifying the list of available ship tags.) The site has primary and secondary ship tagging as an option, but I did not look at that for these charts.

The available m/m ship tags are:

Remus/Sirius - 166

Draco/Harry - 138

Albus/Gellert - 25

The F/F tag is:

Ginny/Hermione - 13

Full ship and character tag list for the curious under the cut because it’s long.
