Procrastination Ask for you to answer when you need one.

How would your character (or characters) react to finding out they are a fictional character?

Took me a long time to turn to this, but my work pile is so high at this point that I’m in dire need of distraction. Also, instant gratification after another edit read, yknow... 😂

I know why I saved this brilliant question for times like these 💛💙

Selene wants to know if it's a good story and if it has pirates in it. Or adventurers. Or vikings. Or ferrets, even. If not, she's not interested.

Caro has no time for metaphysical nonsense. Do you think this potion is going to brew itself? No, I didn't think so either. Keep your silly thoughts to yourself and help chop the bat spleen. Precisely, if you don't mind.

Henry knew it all along. It was just that no one bothered listening.

Caitlin doesn't like the concept. Politely proceeds to ask why she hasn't met her father yet if this is a story. Who is responsible for this shit, pardon, plot line?

Lizzie proceeds to think about this for a while. Decides it's not worth her while and prefers to do something more fun.

Ava also proceeds to think about this for a while and gets really lost in her thought process. Her dorm mates may or may not find her still brooding over the concept by the next morning.

Mina hopes that if this is true, it's one of those stories where everything is always somehow clean and tidy and no one has to bother with the more dirty aspects of humanity.

Dana finds the concept utterly romantic and can't wait for her happy ending.

Dylan finds the concept utterly stupid and wishes Dana would just stop talking about it.

Reva doesn't really care but offers to make fanart.

[hogwartsmysteryho]

so someone recently mentioned that @lifeofkaze has nine ocs… so of course i immediately thought, huh, there are currently nine taylor swift albums. anyways,

Mina Pendleton - Taylor Swift - new beginnings, tongue in cheek

Danielle Parkin - Fearless - hopeful, friendly, crush

Selene Fraser - Red - wild, passionate, mold-breaking

Reva Amari - 1989 - fun, strong self-identity, energetic

Ava Campbell - reputation - bold, unapologetic, no longer naïve

Lizzie Jameson - Lover - lived and loved wisdom, optimistic, golden

Henry Lovecroft - folklore - storytelling, fuzzy, perceptive

Dylan Amari - evermore - peaceful, reserved, a little of everything else

Creative Design straight outta the Steel City: Meet artist Ben Parkin

Creative Design straight outta the Steel City: Meet artist Ben Parkin

By Daniella Ekundayo

Who is Ben Parkin? Tell us a bit about yourself.

I’m just a normal dude who lives to create. I grew up in a small town on the outskirts of Sheffield. Since I can remember I’ve always had a passion for art. I always did alright in school, but I spent most of the time tagging the tables and sketching. When I got into the real world of work and had little time to draw or paint,…

Valentine's Challenge 2022 - Day 3

Prompt: Red

Find all stories of this challenge in the masterpost here.

A/N: Saffron Summers and Rory McTavish belong to my most wonderful, fabulous, amazing, best friend in this world @the-al-chemist, Robin Willows (in mention) to @that-scouse-wizard, Nova Mae (in mention) to @kc-and-co and Scarlett Tempest (in mention) to @whatwouldvalerydo

You said if there was one OC of yours you'd like to see more content for done by others it was Saffron. So here you go, @the-al-chemist.

Wishing you the happiest birthday, bestie! Here's to many more! I love you more than I can possibly tell. 💛💛💛

Dana stomped up the shifting staircase and towards the portrait hole leading into the Gryffindor common room with a face like thunder. She didn’t spare the students coming her way so much as a second glance as they scrambled to make way for the fuming prefect. When she reached the entrance to Gryffindor Tower growled the password through gritted teeth:

“Helianthus.”

“Now, now, young lady,” the Fat Lady said and raised her thin eyebrows, “what kind of tone is that? I’m not used to being greeted by you like this.” She looked like she wanted to add something but instead, she clapped her heavily jewelled hands over her mouth when she took a closer look at Dana. “By Merlin’s beard, what happened to your -”

“Helianthus,” Dana snapped, more vehemently this time, daring the Fat Lady to go on with a dark look.

“Alright, alright, no need to get yourself worked up,” the Fat Lady mumbled and swung aside to let Dana in, not without looking after the usually cheerful girl with a concerned shake of her head.

Dana was met with more surprised looks when she entered the common room. She walked into the middle of it and looked over the students gathered in the plush red armchairs, searching for two particular faces with narrowed eyes.

Behind Dana the portrait hole opened again and made way for the Gryffindor Quidditch team returning from their practice session. Upon seeing Dana they immediately stopped talking and stared at her before most of them covered their mouths with their hands like the Fat Lady had done - whether it was in shock or not to laugh Dana didn’t know, and frankly, she didn’t care.

“What’s that, Dana?” Rory McTavish, captain of the Quidditch team, said with raised eyebrows and pointed at her flaming red hair. “Suits your eyes, I have to say.”

“Not now, McTavish,” Dana snapped and fixed her eyes on the two girls standing behind Rory. Reva Amari and Robin Willows started snickering immediately, whispering excitedly to one another.

“Showing off some house pride, Dana?” Reva giggled. “Just in time for our big match on the weekend. We’ll need to be careful not to confuse you with the Quaffle.”

Her grin was wiped from her face when Dana started moving in her direction. Realising Dana didn’t find her new hair-do half as funny as they did, Robin and Reva quickly pushed through their teammates and fled the common room. Dana tried to set after them, but stumbled over Rory.

“Careful, Fireball,” he said as he helped her catch her stride.

His laugh faltered when he saw the withering look Dana was giving him. She snatched her elbow away from him and looked out of the portrait hole, but Reva and Robin were already gone.

Furious about their escape, Dana turned around and stormed up the staircase leading to her dormitory. She took her pet tortoise Darwin out of his terrarium and slumped onto her bed. Pressing her cheek against the warm, ridged shell on Darwin’s back, she took a deep breath, trying her hardest not to scream.

“You look funny.”

Dana jumped and nearly dropped Darwin upon hearing the unexpected voice of her best friend Saffron Summers. The Hufflepuff girl had seemingly appeared out of nowhere and was now stood on the end of Dana’s bed. She wore a colourful patchwork sweater that seemed to be at least two sizes too big for her. Her yellowish blonde hair was woven into two pigtails, with tiny sunflowers on the hair ties holding them in place.

Dana gave her friend a dark look. “You don’t say.”

Saffron sat down next to her on the bed, swinging her legs back and forth and humming a joyful melody.

“All of you is funny today.”

“Care to elaborate?” Dana said wryly and rolled her eyes. She wasn’t in the mood for worming any sense out of Saffron.

“Your aura is very much off,” Saffron mused and made a vague gesture with her hand. She lowered her voice to a whisper. “As is your hair, by the way.”

“Really? I hadn’t noticed.”

“So much red,” Saffron carried on, unfazed by Dana’s scathing tone. “It’s really bright. It hurts looking at you. Are you very angry?” she added with a sympathetic tone.

“How about you take a guess?” Dana hissed before catching herself. It wasn’t Saffron’s fault she was looking like her hair had caught fire, after all. “How did you get in here, anyway?”

“Through the portrait hole.”

“What about the Fat Lady?” Dana said and furrowed her brow.

“What about her? She let me in.”

“Without the password?”

Now it was Saffron’s turn to look puzzled. “There is a password?”

Dana sighed and leaned back into her pillows. She didn’t have the energy to have a conversation like this right now. “Just forget I said anything.”

Saffron looked at her with her head tilted and her eyes squinting slightly. She shuffled closer to Dana, drew her legs up onto the bed and hugged her knees. “You’re not in line with the Goddess, you know? I bet that’s why you’re upset.”

“Do I want to ask?” Dana groaned.

“The Goddess is all encompassing and part of each of us,” Saffron recited and Dana thought it sounded memorised. “To find your inner harmony again, you have to tell me why you’re so angry. There is probably a crystal to help your chakras flow and let peace in again.”

“You want to know why I’m angry?” Dana said and pointed at her head. “How about you take another look at this?”

Saffron did as Dana suggested and eventually gave a small shrug. “Doesn’t look worse to me than Nova did when Scarlett gave her a pixie cut. I still don’t understand what it had to do with Pixies.”

“It has nothing to do with Pixies, Saff. It’s just a name.”

“How odd.” Saffron reached out and touched one of Dana’s bright red curls. “I hope your hair dye was cruelty free.”

“I wouldn't know,” Dana muttered, “Reva and Robin mixed something into my shampoo. Go and ask them.”

Saffron’s face lit up with understanding. “That’s why they were so cheerful when I saw them earlier.”

“They’re not going to be cheerful much longer, I can promise you that. Just wait until I get my hands on them.” Dana pulled a face. “What in Godric’s name am I going to do now?”

“Have you tried using Colovaria?”

Dana glared at Saffron. “Do you think I’m daft? Of course I have. It didn’t work. They must have enchanted the dye.”

Saffron squinted as if looking at something overly bright. “Don’t upset your energy. I think I know what you need.”

Before Dana had a chance to protest, Saffron picked up her rabbit Esmeralda from the floor and dumped her onto Dana’s lap where she sat looking confused before sniffing Dana’s face. Dana had to giggle at Esmeralda’s whiskers tickling her skin.

“See?” Saffron smiled broadly. “Much better.”

She leaned over and reached into Dana’s drawer. She rummaged around in it for a while before taking out several bottles of nail varnish. She held them with one hand and hid everything but the silver lids with her other.

“Pick a colour,” she told Dana.

“Wouldn’t that be easier if you let me see them?”

“The Goddess will guide you.”

“If you say so,” Dana sighed and picked a random bottle, holding out her hand to let Saffron paint her nails.

By the time Saffron started on her other hand, Dana found herself to be a lot more relaxed than before. When her nails were dry, it was Dana’s turn to put colour onto Saffron’s nails, a different one onto each finger. Before long, the two girls were lying on Dana’s bed, laughing and chatting and watching Esmeralda trying to make friends with a grumpy looking Darwin, who couldn’t care any less about the bunny’s advances.

“Thank you,” Dana suddenly said out of nowhere.

“What for?” Saffron replied absentmindedly. She had her feet straight up in the air and was clicking her heels together.

“You know what for,” Dana smiled and nudged Saffron into the side. “For cheering me up. You just being you. You’re really my best friend, you know?”

“More than Nova and Scarlett?”

“I suppose so. But don’t tell them I said that.”

“No,” Saffron hummed dreamily. “But I suppose we really are. Best friends that is.” She sat up and looked at Dana with a broad smile. “You know what’s good about your hair?”

“What would that be? I still look like a paintbrush.”

“But now at least you match,” Saffron giggled and pointed first at Dana’s hair and then at her nails, which were painted in the same blazing red colour.

She started laughing at the face Dana made but quickly stopped as one of Dana’s pillows made contact with her head. Saffron took her time to carefully set Darwin and Esmeralda aside before grabbing a pillow of her own and hitting back. Before long even the rest of Dana’s anger was forgotten as the giggles of the two friends carried through the whole of Gryffindor Tower.

Headcanons ask!!!! 🧡 so, all our OCs interact, so this was tricky, but…

Selene and Héloïse

Carolyn and Jim

Henry and Ophelia

Mina and Artemis

Danielle and Zadie

Reva and Saffron

(Sorry Dylan, Lizzie, Ava, Rory, and Ethel. You guys get around too much)

I know it’s a lot, so take your pick…

Sorry it took me SO long to answer but at last, here we go 💛💛💛

Selene & Héloïse: As unlikely a pair as these two are, when the Muggle paper The Strand gets delivered to them at Hogwarts, there is no holding them back. You'll find them discussing the latest adventures of Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson over the next few days. Selene addresses Jim with an "Elementary" before every sentence, and Héloïse gets annoyed at Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for not giving his readers all the clues needed to solve the cases.

Carolyn & Jim: While they never get to interact that much with one another directly (frankly, Caro scares Jim a little), Caro appreciates the confidence Brady @kc-and-co takes away from his friendship with Jim and their arts club. When she has opened her Potions shop as an adult, she is adamant only to use the best honey as an ingredient - which happens to be the Hexley one.

Henry & Ophelia: When it comes to hounding him about love stories, the only one worse than Oliver Gerard @kc-and-co is Ophelia. Henry will never understand why she keeps asking about those oddly specific details nobody else seems to care about.

Mina & Artemis: They almost got into a fight once when Mina openly complained that Penny wasn't be all end all when it comes to potions in their year. She didn't have a good opinion on Artemis until her friend Barnaby Lee started dating her in their 5th year - if she makes her friend happy, that's good enough for Mina. Artemis begrudgingly changed her opinion on Mina after she saved Barnaby from dying a gruesome death after drinking some random potion in class again.

Danielle & Zadie: Both girls are very much into musicals and Dana as astounded as to how vast Zadie's knowledge is. She has yet to find one piece of trivia Zadie doesn't know already.

Reva & Saffron: Reva thinks Saffron is rather odd but still pretty cool because she just doesn't care about anything or anyone's opinion. They often hang out at Reid van de Lune's shop @kc-and-co in Hogsmeade - Saff for the crystals, Reva for getting her skateboard fixed.
