Canon Couples and the Random Heights I Assigned Them

Just because I recently re-read this post and it's on my mind. Here's what I think these canon couples' final heights came to be and some justifications behind my thought process, as well as some headcanons. Let's start with my OTP -

Harry (6'1") and Ginny (5'0")

I'm kinda obsessed with the idea that 17yo Harry being the same height as his 21yo deceased father would grow just a couple more inches

Ginny being 5ft fits with her being the noticeably "smallest one" in the DoM during OOTP and with Harry being able to easily look over her head during the infamous First Kiss scene in HBP, putting her head at chest height of Harry (as of HBP)

Ginny is the only one who knows about Harry's petty satisfaction when he ran into Draco Malfoy some years after the war and realized he had continued to grow and Malfoy hadn't

James (5'11") and Lily (5'8")

Because they're both tall enough to be considered "tall", but not the kind of tall that is shocking

Lily being 5'8" makes her tall enough to have to look down at 14yo Harry in the graveyard scene of GOF

Ron (6'5") and Hermione (5'8")

In order for Fred and George to be "shorter and stockier" than 14yo Ron, but still slightly over 6ft so as to shrink to 5'11" in DH, I have to assume Ron's final height came to be one that most people would put in the "Holy shit you're tall" category

I know I'm going to get shouted at for Hermione's height, because she's never described as particularly tall in the books HOWEVER she's never described as particularly short either, just shorter than Harry

This 9 inch height difference give Ron & Hermione the perfect height difference for Ron to comfortably rest his chin on her head without having to hunch over awkwardly like Harry does with Ginny, so I'm sticking to it

Arthur (5'11") and Molly (4'11")

I know the movies made Arthur short and round, but he was described as thin in the books and all the Weasley boys wind up being pretty tall, so they had to get that from somewhere.

Molly is consistently described as short and dumpy throughout the series, and while Ginny is often compared to Molly physically, I just like the idea that Ginny managed to grow that extra inch that Molly never did.

Draco (6'0") and Astoria (5'11")

we know in DH Draco was slightly taller than Harry at the Malfoy Manor scene (p.457, U.S. edition of DH), so if we assume the like linked post above that Harry was 5'11" during DH, then I'd put Draco at 6 foot.

we literally know nothing about Astoria (CC doesn't count), but I picked 5'11" because it is the curse of all tall women to wind up with men roughly the same height

Lucius (5'10") and Narcissa (5'10")

we know Harry and Narcissa are the same height in HBP, so I put her at 5'10"

correct me if I'm wrong, but Lucius is never described as particularly tall, while Narcissa is. And of course, tall for a woman is average for a man. I put Lucius to be around around the same height as Narcissa because I just don't see Lucius' personality allowing him to be with a woman taller than himself.

also, see the curse of tall women above

people who think scorbus is the ‘new drarry’ are so wacko because they dont realise that scorbus is fr clickbait since they’re literally just ginny and astoria

[dramioneasks]

All I Wanted - CassieMK - E, 40 chapters, Words: 156,014 - Hermione returns to Hogwarts for an 8th year sans Harry and Ron. Her plans to focus on her studies and process her trauma quietly is thrown out the window when Theodore Nott crashes into her life, dragging the rest of the snake pit along with him. This is a story of a group of teenagers trying to heal after the war and what happens when they must face each other as adults. Part One takes place during eighth year. Part Two features a time-jump to 2005.

[darklinaforever]

Sorry, but for me J.K didn't write good romances. We don't know Astoria, Rolf and Hannah. Lupin and Tonks appeared out of nowhere. Jily is undrinkable. Hinny has little or no development over 7 books even though they have really known each other since volume 2. Romione is really not great from my point of view. Don't even get me started on Dumbledor and Grindelwald...

Bill & Fleur are the only ones, among the young characters, that I find cute and even then it's a very secondary couple. Honestly, Molly and Arthur are the only real Harry Potter goal couple in my eyes. And yet, they also haven't seen them much !

[scaramionee]

Just finished Secrets and Masks by Emerald_Slytherin and I haven't been the same ever since. I thought that Manacled was my last straw and then I start reading THIS PIECE OF ART ??!! DRACO AND HERMIONE'S CHEMISTRY ?!! THEO'S CHARACTERIZATION ??!! ASTORIA AND BLAISE'S UNDYING LOVE FOR EACH OTHER ??!! DAPHNE AND HER SACRIFCE ??!! THE FOUND FAMILY TROUPE ??!! MALFOY'S ADORABLE DRAGON ?!! How can I ever go back, I do not think I can ever bring myself to read that fanfic again. It soothed the deepest part of my soul and I'm glad but nope, I refuse to bawl my eyes out all over again. I can never move on from this fanfic, as if all of this happened in the canon, UGH WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[ynandfics]

“Draco nobody literally asked you” Pansy turns to the boy decked out in his best black suit. His dark mark hidden after all these years.

“Y/n tell him he’s dreaming pretty please?” The girls had originally gotten together for one last

“You’re dreaming love, but also interrupting the peace” I waved him away, I heard Hermione giggle in the background.

“Is the bachelor party that boring you decided to check on us via floo powder?” Astoria questioned Draco, sharp as the true Slytherin she used to be.

“Let’s just say, Nott and Zabini would even be a surprise at the wedding cause they’re so drunk. And all the Weasley’s hold alcohol really well? They want to do tequila shots, only Harry knows how to get that though out of us” I laughed with the girls at his pure misery, it didn’t sound bad at all.

“Tell you what Draco? Take this bottle to them and shove off” Ginny handed him a bottle of tequila we were going to have later, but oh well, it was for a good cause.

“Oh uh thank you” Draco slowly walked towards the door and shut it. The second it clicked we all burst out laughing, the moment too funny and best of all it was relived with my best friends.

[magikfish]

You see Ginny and Draco can be friends because neither of them are funny to anyone but each other. Hpcc Ginny could tell a joke and you’d hear crickets but also Draco laughing from the other room. Draco tries to tell a joke to Scorpius and he just cringes but Ginny doubles over. It’s great it’s fantastic. They workshop together of course, and somehow become infinitely worse 🩷

Pick + Choose

A sweet Dramione love story set amidst a mystery.

Ten years after the second wizarding war, Hermione Granger is the proud owner of Granger Magical Protection Agency - using her revered skill and intellect to protect the most vulnerable members of the magical community. Despite her beloved public persona, protecting those in-need doesn’t turn a high profit, and her company is starting to crumble under financial pressure.

Draco Malfoy, on the other hand, has more money than he knows what to do with. He’s spent the past ten years reinventing himself into a successful hotelier, and his picture is a constant fix on the cover of The Daily Prophet.

Draco Malfoy doesn’t settle for anything but the best. And when he begins to receive credible threats to his life from an unknown source, he knows he must hire the best - Hermione Granger.

Gothic Fantasy Fest 2024: Day 9 Reveals (Part Two)

Today's GFF highlights are focused on the submissions we received where the prompt was from our curated list of gothic tropes and themes. Mind the tags & Happy Reading! 🦇

Phoenix by @superfriction

"He knew he had been hovering on the edge of a cliff for a while now. No matter what he thought..."

Warnings: Cult AU | Emotional Abuse | Non-Con |

Rating: Explicit

Character(s)/Ship(s): Drinny (Draco Malfoy/Ginny Weasley)

Word Count: 7,831 words

Summary: It was meant to be a last resort. A way for Draco and others to put in the work to overcome the trauma of their childhoods and the Second War. It wasn't meant to become his reason for living. And it most certainly wasn't meant to be his way of finding safety and absolution in the willing and waiting arms of the organization's founder.

The Black Wedding by IzRoan

"This was the problem with Draco Malfoy. He brought out the worst in everyone around him..."

Warnings: Post-Hogwarts | Forced Marriage | Necromancy |

Rating: Explicit

Character(s)/Ship(s): Drarry

Word Count: 39,199 words

Summary:

Draco has returned to London off the tail end of a worldly expedition harboring a strange and possibly primordial illness. Try as they might, the Healers can’t seem to parse out a cure for this magical ailment. Through endless toil, temper-tantrums, and spilt cups of coffee, Draco has found a remedy far older than anything the Healers have proposed: a Black Wedding. Only one unscrupulous orphan fits the ritual’s specifications, and Harry is elated to make himself as much of a nuisance in Draco’s life as possible.

last will and testament by @nyenke

"He’d left her between the sword and the cross, and he knew that she would make the most terrible choice for him..."

Warnings: Morally Grey | Blood Curse | Non-Con |

Rating: Mature

Character(s)/Ship(s): Drastoria

Word Count: 3,295 words

Summary:

But when the doctors said she only had half a decade, maybe seven years at most, left, with pregnancy a death sentence, he’d changed.

Maybe that was why he’d thrown himself into research.

The Castle is Alive by Aurora_Borealis3406

"He could feel it leaching away the last remnants of color from his soul. Hogwarts felt it too..."

Warnings: Sentient Hogwarts | 8th Year | Visions | Body Horror |

Rating: Explicit

Character(s)/Ship(s): Dreomione

Word Count: 7,351 words

Summary:

Theo just wanted to finish out his parole by attending his eighth year at Hogwarts with his girlfriend, but the one thing he'd left behind after the war is running from him. Draco Malfoy has always been someone he cared about, and he can't stand seeing his childhood best friend and ex-lover falling apart before his eyes.

Hogwarts also feels... wrong. Something is wrong. Voices whisper in his ears, he's seeing things that aren't really true, and dark, mysterious corridors keep drawing him and Hermione in.

What is Hogwarts trying to tell them?

[rewritingcanon]

do you have any headcanons about post-hogwarts scorbus? :)

oh DO i!!

scorpius gets a huge glow-up after hogwarts sometime around his mid twenties and everyone is shocked by it except albus (who always thought scorpius was drop dead gorgeous) and draco (who knew astoria’s model genes would kick in sooner or later)

i think most of nextgen would do better than their parents and not marry as mind bogglingly early as them. all except scorbus, who would probs marry each other at 19 or some ridiculous bs.

would have the weddings to end all weddings too. theres no “small intimate gathering” absolutely not, not with DRACO MALFOY being the grooms father 💀💀 its more fancy than the royals i swear its making headlines.

also albus would take on the malfoy name in my opinion. no hyphenation, just full integration

scorpius will be over at the potters house every second week just to suck up to all of them and win the favour of everyone especially ginny (because ginny is the alpha of the household). hes of the opinion that he cant ask albus to marry him unless everyone accepts him (they all do but scorpius doesn’t believe it for at least eight months).

he also tries to win rose’s favour but she pretends to not gaf just to fw him.

i always go back and forth between their careers, im never set on one. for scorpius i predominantly like the idea of him being a healer and going through the wizard-equivalent of med school because it just feels like something he would needlessly put himself through. i also like him doing a career he’s passionate about, like something to do with history, or working in a really obscure department of the ministry.

i fluctuate with albus’ career the MOST. i can see him working a desk job and hating it and being that guy whos disassociating staring at the clock on the wall waiting for his shift/workday to be over do he can go home and love all over his husband. i also see him quitting it all to go full house-husband/stay-at-home dad when he gets sick of it. but i think he’d like having a muggle career better than a wizard one.

albus does ALL the cooking. scorpius is BANNED from touching the kitchen because he burns everything (poor thing tries his best)

the only reason they didn’t move out immediately after graduating was because scorpius was scared to leave draco alone in the manor. so draco pretended to be sick of albus basically staying over at the manor every night to push scorpius to do what he wanted

i think scorpius and albus would move into a young-adultish flat/apartment when they first move in together, even though they can def afford a proper home 😭😭

they still literally follow each other everywhere. deadass cannot separate them.

ginny goes on solo holidays with the boys 😭😭💀💀💀

scorpius is an early waker and albus will sleep until 3pm if not roused. albus keeps wanting to wake up early to make scorpius breakfast in bed but alas hes not built for it…..

albus has to teach scorpius how to not be so ostentatious when buying things for their home or nursery or whatever. that boy has no idea how to save his money 💀

always go to family functions in matching accessories like ties or watches or socks or jewellery or SOMETHING. they just have to outdo all the other couples there smh.

also always wears matching pyjamas because they’re sickening

albus would be more passionate about following the tradition of naming their kids after stars/constellations than scorpius would be.

albus is very wifey material like he gives scorp the best massages after work, runs him hot baths, cooks and cleans, handles financials, spoils scorpius by buying him lots of things he likes (tbf scorpius is very easy to please), listens to his rants, so whenever scorpius feels hes not doing enough he’ll panic and buy out an entire cinema for a date night or something similarly corny 💀

albus gets the white streaks in his hair that make him a honorary malfoy

albus gets a pot belly when he’s older im so passionate about this

i also like the idea of scorpius needing to wear glasses when hes old too

lmk if you want more scorbus hcs i am always ready and willing to yap about scorbus

THE FINAL CHAPTER IS HERE!

Chapter 41 -- The One With the Final Epilogue

Well, this is it!  THE FINAL LAST EPILOGUE AND LAST CHAPTER of my world of Kismet.  It started back in 2018 with some random Marauder snippets that I put aside to write about Sirius and Remus raising Harry which turned from a 25 chapter story idea to 360 chapters of A Second Chance and led me to write a prequel with my original Marauder snippets in The First Time Around.  It ended with Third Times the Charm.

As I always say, I write this story for myself first and this is the final chapter of what I wanted to write and how I wanted to end my world of Kismet.  I’m very excited to share it with you and I hope you’re excited to read it.  I hope those of you who have been reading this story have been enjoying it even half as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it and that you like the ending as much as I do.  And for those of you who don’t, I thank you for reading as long as you have and hope you find a story some day that pleases you more.  There are a lot of amazing writers in the world and I hope someone gives you the ending you want.

As for me I am very proud of my final scene and of this trilogy.  

THANK YOU!

I would like to firstly thank @thedistantdusk, who even though only was my Beta from chapters 200-360 of ASC and for all of The First Time Around, her patience and guidance were greatly appreciated.  Thank you to SilverStarwolfe who was my first Beta from about chapter 120-190 before life got in the way and she had to stop, her patience and guidance was also greatly appreciated.  Thank you to @seriouslysam8 who was an amazing sounding board and helped me work out the kinks in the final idea of Sirius and Zee and helped me come up with the story titles for The First Time Around and Third Times the Charm.  I really appreciate all of the help she gave me and hope one day she might even read it too.  LOL.  Thank you to @ellieoryan7447 for being such an amazing reader who went out of her way to attempt to make character art all about my characters.  It’s surreal to me that people even want to do that and is more appreciated than I can possibly put into words.  And lastly, thank you to @celtics534 for putting up with my random asks about reading over scenes, giving great writing advice, and not being afraid to tell me when something is crap and how to fix it.  You’re more appreciated than you know.  PS — Sorry for bothering the crap out of you with final reviews of this last chapter LOL.

Thank you to everyone who has been reading from the beginning, to those jumped in somewhere in the middle, and to anyone new who stumbled across this world when the final story was ending.  THANK YOU!

Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to follow me in this story-writing journey for the last six years.  It means so much to me.

I have no plans of writing anything else in the near future, as I do very much need a break, but who knows what the future will bring.  These epilogues, while being very much a conclusion, still leave lots of holes for me to jump back in if I ever want to (old and next generation).  It leaves the world of Kismet open to me in the future while still showing you that that there was a happily ever after for these characters (which is very much deserved).

Thank you again for all of the continuous support and love I have received.

Please remember to drop a review — I love to read to them.

THANK YOU!

Love always, 😘
