"Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus"

I ain't gonna lie: for the longest time, I thought this bit of trivia was actually Draco Malfoy’s full name.

46. horrible idea: the reason the moto specifies not to tickle a sleeping dragon is because it makes them aroused.

When Masks fall

For: Open | Ask if you’d like it specified to your muse Muse: Fred Setting: Hogwarts Castle | 1993-1994 school year

Dementors.

Creatures that fed on happiness and generated feelings of depression and despair in any person in close proximity to them. They were normally stationed with the Prison of Azkaban. But after the escape of Sirius Black, the Ministry of Magic, or more precisely Fudge, had sent a group of the soul sucking Dark wraiths to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

For their protection.

Fred snorted at that. Protection for who? Not the students that was for certain, since many of them couldn’t produce a Patronus Charm. But he wasn’t one of them- or not now, he wasn’t. The Patronus Charm had been one of the spells that his mentor, Garrick Ollivander, had started teaching him after returning from Egypt. Yet it was a few weeks after the incident on the Hogwarts Express, that he produced a fully corporal Patronus.

Not that it was a normal Patronus, much to Professor Flitwick’s amusement. On the other hand, this was the elder of the Weasley twins. Normal wasn’t exactly in either his or George’s vocabulary.

Dark brown eyes watched the silver Hungarian Horntail fly through the disused hallways, before it returned to him. Aside from his twin brother and two of the teachers, Professor Snape and Flitwick respectively, no one else knew that he could produce a Patronus. A faint smile slowly etched itself across his features at the pure positive emotions that came from the dragon. He wouldn’t usually have it out but tonight, he needed the positivity.

If anyone was to wander down the disused corridor on the Third floor, they would see a normally cheerful fifth year student lost in thought. Dressed casually in mundane, muggle to the Purebloods, black sleeveless shirt with a silver panther on the front and black jeans. Neither wand or holster was in sight, making him seemingly defenceless but a couple of runes dotted the Gryffindor’s arms.

In short, this was Fred Weasley with his masks down. Although it still wasn’t a good idea to surprise the 15 year old, not when he was like this.

A headcanon thingy! I’m putting it under a read more ‘cause it got kinda long...

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE SMELL LIKE?   In main verse and most other verses, she smells like tea roses. In FO4/zombpocalypse verse, she smells more like dirt and stagnant water tbh. xD She’s got other things to worry about other than how she smells! In Pacrim/Until Dawn/HP/Valorant/LIS/JJK verse, she uses jasmine-scented body soap, so she smells a bit like that, too. In her Greek Mythology verse as Eris, she smells like wild oranges.

WHAT DO YOUR MUSE’S HANDS FEEL LIKE?    In main verse and most other verses, her hands are soft. In main verse this is natural, but in other verses it requires morning and night self care rituals to keep them that way. In Pacrim/Valorant/JJK verse, she has some slight callousing from handling mecha parts and tools/weapons. In FO4/zombpocalypse verse, her hands feel rough from dirt and handling weapons. In main verse, her hands’ temperature depends on what temperature of water she’s ingested and how long ago she ingested it, in the case of warm water. In all other verses, her hands run a bit on the chilly side. In Until Dawn/HP/LIS/JJK verse, her fingernails are either French manicured. In Valorant verse, they’re just glossy from a layer of base coat. In her Greek Mythology verse as Eris, her nails are long, pointy, and black. In all verses, her fingers are thin.

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY EAT IN A DAY?    In main verse, she doesn’t eat much actually. Given her ability to photosynthesize, she can survive off water and sunlight alone--albeit weakly--for weeks. Typically she’ll either eat very small meals (more like snacks) every day to keep up her energy, or she’ll eat two actual meals each week. For snacks, she’ll have a handful of Brazil nuts, cashews, or berries. Her go-to actual meal is kebabs with veggies and meat skewered on them. In FO4/zombpocalypse verse, she eats whatever she hunts and gathers. In Pacrim verse, she tends to eat sandwiches because they’re quick and portable, and drinks just water. In Until Dawn/LIS verse, she eats a lot of raw food, not because she chooses it as her dietary preference, but because it’s quick. So nuts, raw fruits, raw veggies. She does have some cooked items but they’re also quick stuff--microwave noodles, soup, grilled meat, or hardboiled eggs. In Valorant verse it’s the same, except in much larger quantities since she’s always exercising in some way. In HP verse it’s not as bare-bones because she can use magic to cook, so she tends to have proper meals. She likes Western-style breakfasts, noodles at lunch, and meat, potatoes, and veggies at dinner. She also has a huge sweet tooth, and eats a lot of wizarding world candies. In P5/JJK verse, since she’s in Japan, she eats a lot more Japanese cuisine--fish, rice, pickled items.

DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE?    In all verses where she is an alien from Balah, she sings well. In DBH verse, since she’s supposed to be a copy of main verse Vartouhi, she also sings well. In all other verses, she can carry a tune, but it’s nothing special. Still, she has fun at karaoke/noraebang.

DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE ANY BAD HABITS OR NERVOUS TICKS?   She bites her lip a lot, and plays with her fingers. She also licks her lips often if she’s not wearing something on them--which is why in most verses, even if it’s just Vaseline, she wears something.

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY LOOK LIKE / WEAR?   Hoo, boy. Okay. My linked profile for my Sailor Moon/FO4/Pacrim/zombpocalypse/DBH verse has a “usual attire” field you can check. In HP she’s very Dark Academia. In Greek Mythology as Persephone, she wears a lot of white and pink and pastel colors, as well as florals and watercolor prints. Lots of pretty, ruffly blouses and skirts--both short and long. As well as dresses. Always wears white moccasins. I have a tag on her inspiration blog for her main verse (or any verse where she’s an alien from Balah) clothing style that you can check. Until Dawn and LIS verses are probably very similar, if not the same. As Eris, she wears a lot of dark red and black. Bodycon or slinky dresses. Tight dark blouses and pencil skirts. Black slacks and blazers. Heels. Almost always wears heels. In Valorant verse, she typically wears pastel croptops with a grey sports bra underneath, grey skinny jeans, white fingerless gloves, and black combat boots. And in JJK verse, her style fluctuates betweek Dark and Light Academia. Lots of vintage-looking blouses with skirts, or vintage-looking dresses, and blazers. Neutral colors, like browns, blacks, greys, whites.

IS YOUR MUSE AFFECTIONATE? HOW SO? As Eris, and in her zombpocalypse verses, fuck no. xD I suppose if she was incredibly close with someone and felt super safe in the zombpocalypse verses, she might smile more, pat the other’s head or shoulder, and lean her head on them. Actually Pacrim/LIS/DBH verse is kind of the same tbh, except the difference is that she craves physical closeness/touch because it helps her destress. She just feels too proud to ask for it in Pacrim verse and too nervous she’ll hurt someone in LIS verse, and is just too afraid in DBH verse. She’s very affectionate in main verse, Jesus Christ. I have so many previous threads where she cuddles and gives platonic kisses to her friends. x’D I guess she’s the same in any other verses where she’s an alien from Balah, too. And Until Dawn and HP verses. In Valorant and JJK verses, she’s somewhere in the middle between the two extremes.

WHAT POSITION DOES YOUR MUSE SLEEP IN?    In all verses except as Eris, she sleeps half on her stomach half on her side, with her arms hugging a stuffed animal or pillow, or reaching out as if she would be hugging something. As Eris, she sleeps on her back with her arms overhead and her legs slightly parted.

COULD YOU HEAR YOUR MUSE IN THE HALLWAY FROM ANOTHER ROOM? Lol no. She tries to move quietly in pretty much every verse. Well, except maybe as Eris. I can see Eris click-clacking down the hall in her heels without a care in the world as to who she disturbs.

Hi! I want to know your head canons on SLANG! What sort of things to wizards say to sound cool or evoke thoughts or feelings? What sayings might they have? Do we maybe have any in common with them?

We know that “to have a hairy heart” means to be aloof or cold. (Fm Tales of Beedle the Bard)

I once read a very compelling headcanon that Americans would never use no-maj (for non-magical) as a term cuz they like to shorten things so much, and so American wizfolk would use either ‘noma’ or ‘nomie’. As an American I agree tbh.

I hc that the Hogwarts motto “Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus” [never tickle a sleeping dragon] to be a kind of slang for “don’t do that”.

Like, your friend is getting ready to sneak out of her dorm to go see a guy even though she knows Peeves has been feisty lately. “….Draco dormiens, Molly,” you whisper as she sneaks out the door.

Yeah! Any thoughts?

I love this, and I definitely think there are wizard versions for some common phrases we have (and we actually see some in the books). In my fic I try to add magical variations of phrases to make the world feel more real.

I'd say which shortened version of no-maj would be said would depend on where in the US the wizard is from. I imagine some areas would say "noma" some would say "nomie" and I'm sure there would be other variants. I think it'll just really depend on location.

But most of the idioms and slang I have headcanons for are for the UK.

Some examples I've written into my fic:

Hit him like a bludger - would mean having a strong emotional reaction, like "hit like a ton of bricks"

You look like a dementor’s got you - generally to mean one looks upset or down.

Eating away at his brian like the Fwooper’s song - to mean something is occupying your thoughts, but like, to obsessive levels.

I also like the idea of:

"Confunded" - being used as the word "befuddled"

"Demiguise" - used to the same as calling someone a wallflower, since they become invisible.

"Keep the egg under the toad" - references the process of breeding a basilisk, which is illegal. Means to keep something quite or on the downlow.

"Are you yanking my wand?" - used like saying "are you joking me?" and is an extension of the saying "yanking your wand" that appears in Deathly Hallows.

"Polishing your wand" - is a real thing Cedric and other wizards apparently do, but I am convinced it also refers to jerking off.

"Until the Jobberknoll sings" - kinda like "it isn't over until the fat lady sings", since a Jobberknoll only sings on the moment it dies.

Similarly, saying "Joberknoll song" instead of "Swan song"

"Swearing like a Jarvey" - Like "Swearing like a sailor" since Jarveys are known for being rude and swear a lot.

I have a few more I wrote/thought of, but these are some off the top of my head.

There is also this wiki page that has a list of wizard idioms used in Harry Potter and it's extra semi-canon content (like the video games and pottermore). I don't consider all of this list canon, but there are some I like there, like:

Breed like gnomes (From DH) - meaning breed like rabbits and said by Muriel about the Weasleys

Different kettle of Grindylows (from Hogwarts Legacy) - like saying "different kettle of fish" or "another can of worms"

Dodged a bludger - like "dodged a bullet"

Don't count your owls before they are delivered (from HBP) - like "don't count your chickens before they hatch"

The fire's lit, but the cauldron's empty (from DH) - like "the lights are on, but nobody's home"

I could eat a Hippogriff (from GoF) - like "I could eat a horse"

I'll take Cadogan's pony (from pottermore) - roughly means to make the best of a bad situation

Knockturn Alley's litter epidemic (from GoF) - means something obvious/boring

Yanking your wand (from DH) - means to joke around.

Anyone who has more of these wizard common phrases headcanons, feel free to add more!

Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus

[bis-art]

Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus

[dreamyshifts]

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry (p1) | Avalon

Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus.

Students may be Sorted into the following Hogwarts Houses:

- Gryffindor

- Hufflepuff

- Ravenclaw

- Slytherin

Upon being sorted into their new House, their uniforms will turn to those House colors (e.g., Ravenclaw students have a uniform of blue and silver), and a House Elf will transfer their luggage to their dormitories. There is also a small shop in Hogmeade Station & 93/4 Station where students can purchase Hogwarts paraphernalia if they wish :).

Alongside being the House one will remain in for the following seven years, the Hogwarts House provides opportunities for students to socialize and gain allies, friends, and/or adversaries alike. *Although Oligarchy Houses tend to go to their ancestral house (e.g., Heiress Hufflepuff will be Sorted into Hufflepuff), members of House Peverell and Hartridge are given the privilege of choosing where to be Sorted.

To promote unity and friendship among the wix, outside of Sortings/Welcoming & Goodbye Feasts, and any other official events, and students are not restricted to where they should sit.

**Royal & Oligarchy Houses are seated at the High Table, above the Faculty and Staff Table, during Sortings, Welcoming & Goodbye Feasts, and any other official Hogwarts Events. Outside of that, they can choose to either sit at the High Table or their House table.*

Dormitory Locations & Special Info

Students are typically discouraged from telling other non-House students the passwords to access their common spaces, but there are no actual bylaws that state this. It is common for siblings of other Houses to be in their siblings’ common room.

NOTE: All dormitories have additional Nesting Rooms to use as they wish, even during curfew hours. These rooms are warded for privacy, and have an abundance of materials any student could need/want if they wish to Nest. However, a spell will alert the Den Wix should a student be in the Nest longer than 24 hours or are experiencing emotional distress, scent sickness, etc.

The locations of the House Dormitories are as follows:

Gryffindor is located at the South Tower of the Castle. Head of House is currently Professor Dumbledore*.

The Tower also contains secret Dueling Rooms that Gryffindor students are allowed to access outside of Curfew Hours. These rooms are warded extensively and are guarded by Hogwarts Knights. Should anyone be grievously injured, there is a spell to automatically alert the mediwix in the infirmary as well as the Head of House, Headmaster/mistress, and Deputy Headmaster/mistress.

Hufflepuff is located near the kitchen area of the Castle, in the basement levels. Head of House is currently Professor Abbott.

Exclusive to the Hufflepuff Dorms are the private gardens that had been cultivated by Helga Hufflepuff’s third daughter, High Lady Wynnefreede Hufflepuff. Students, and their respective guests, can explore the gardens at their leisure, have tea and light snacks, and so on. The gardens mostly contain rare, near-extinct, plants and fauna that the House Elves care for and preserve.

Slytherin is located in the dungeons of the Castle. Head of House is currently Professor Yaxley.

Within the Slytherin Dungeons are Ritual Rooms to use at their leisure. Most of the time, these rooms are utilized by older students, as they have more knowledge and expertise in certain rituals. Nevertheless, they are open to students of Slytherin House and are additionally warded to keep any excess ritual magic contained.

Ravenclaw is located at the Western Tower of the Castle. Head of House is currently Professor Sprout.

Respective to the Ravenclaw Dorms are the personal library and study rooms of Rowena Ravenclaw. However, certain materials cannot be accessed by students without permission from their Head of House. These books cannot be removed from those rooms or Ravenclaw Tower, as well, nor can they be magically copied or destroyed.

*Professor Dumbledore has been lax in some of his Head of House duties.

**PLEASE NOTE THAT HEADS OF HOUSES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE HEAD CHECKS POST CURFEW, MONTHLY CHECK-INS WITH STUDENTS, MONITORING CHARMS/SPELLS ON EACH DORMITORY, AND OFFICE HOURS FOR STUDENTS WHO MAY NEED THEM. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN CONSEQUENCES VIA THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS AND/OR HEADMASTER-MISTRESS.

Den Wix & What Are They?

Wix of respectable upbringing and standing can apply to be one of these positions. They are in charge of aiding students in accumulating to the culture and way of life in Hogwarts, away from their homes, and providing any means of support possible. There are at least six Den Wix per House, with an even mix of Dynamics.

Cohort Placements

Cohort sizes tend to be about 20 students per House per year. However, it simply depends upon the birth rates of that year. The Cohort of 1972 will have about 10-15 students per Hogwarts House due to repercussions from Dark Lord Grindelwald and the Great War.

Common Spaces

Outside of the House Dormitories, there are a few common spaces for students to use at their leisure. Many unused classrooms have been refurbished as common spaces, sitting areas, and so on!

Some common spaces include, but are not limited to: the Quidditch Pitch, the Come and Go Room, the Enchanted Conservatory, and more!

Next, I’ll show the uniforms, and go into the changes to classes and professors!

[msharkness]

It's that time of the year again when you don't know whether to read the course materials or stalk your new professors online to see what they're like before you meet them in person so here's what I think we'd find if we stalked the Hogwarts teachers (of course, in an alternate modern reality where they had social media and internet that worked near magic). More under the cut:

Albus Dumbledore - the classic profile of a headmaster; lots of bragging about his school's results, not much about him personally; his Facebook profile picture is him with a Facebook Banner that says "Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus"

Minerva Mcgonagall - her profile picture is a cat but just a few know that it's actually her in her animagus form; she mostly shares cozy posts and quotes that make her feel inspired that day

Filius Flitwick - he doesn't have a profile pic; in fact he doesn't post or shares anything, his social media profiles are strictly for communication purposes

Severus Snape - this man is a ghost, on purpose; at the first glance he's just another boomer with no concept of social media whatsoever but what you don't know is that he's lurking on other platforms using his favourite username @/thehalfbloodprince; if you knew where to look for him, you'd find him on reddit where he keeps himself informed and where he gets to vent by commenting on morronic outtakes; otherwise his only "official" platform he's on is LinkedIn but with no profile pic, obviously

Rubeus Hagrid - his profile pic is him and Buckbeak; lots of content about magical creatures; he doesn't actually post about it, he just shares those posts

Pomona Sprout - her profiles are filled with the plants she grows; even her profile pic is one depicting a screaming mandrake; she thought it looked cute

And that's on the regular Hogwarts professors. Now a special mention to Lucius Malfoy who has an Instagram profile aesthetically pleasing and color coordinated. This man dresses for the camera so there are lots of pictures with him and other people; his posts are also like travel journal logs, pay attention to them and you'll be able to figure out his next event.

Also Narcissa keeps a pretty minimalist but cute Instagram profile, also color coordinated like her husband's (she actually taught him that). She's really proud of Draco so there are mostly pictures with the two of them or faceless pictures of things that she found aesthetically pleasing.

Title: Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus Rating: T Word Count: 300 Warnings: Discussion of eating people, implied teratophilia

Placed #4 in Fairy Tales

"I challenge thee, Dragon, for the maiden Hermione! Come out—" "Ronald?" "Hermione? You're safe! We've been so worried!" If he tries to take you, I'm eating him. "What are you doing here Ronald?" "We're to be married, Hermione. I came to rescue you!" Ah. I think I understand now.

~

Hermione? These last months have been good, haven't they? You're happy here? "You know I am, Draco. Couldn't ask for a nicer cave or a more interesting dragon to share it with." I've something to show you, Hermione, and there's a question I'd like to ask you. "Is everything alright?" Follow me. Here, behold my favorite hoard. "Oh…" It's not traditional, but... You're... twirling? "I'm amazed, Draco. I've never seen so many books! It's beautiful … and I'm allowed...?" It's yours. I think I've been collecting them for you all along. "This is everything I've always wanted. This is why I ran away! I couldn't stand to be trapped in a marriage when there's books and freedom and … " Oh. I didn't realize. "What's that?" What? Er. Nothing. "Is that a ring?" No idea how that got here. Useless elves. Fire the lot. "Draco… what did you want to ask me?" Oh. Erm. Nothing, really. "I don't believe you." Alright, then… Hermione, would you do me the honor of becoming my, ah, librarian? "Your librarian?" Stay here with me and sort through our book hoard? Make it a real library? "Our…? Yes, Draco. Yes, of course I'll stay." It could take years. Decades, even. I'll just keep getting more books. "Sounds perfect."

~

"Go home, Ronald." "But—" "I'm not a maiden anymore; I don't need rescuing." "Wait, what? How? You didn't… it's a dragon, Hermione! You can't have…" Poor sod. Might've been kinder to let me eat him.

Do I ship Draco Malfoy x Charlie Weasley?: Yes

Is my true and only reason Hogwarts motto "Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus", the fact that Draco means dragon and the fact that Chalie works with (tames) dragons?: Also yes
