RON WEASLEY GUYS

The best most canon divergent my brain has been but please guys hear me out i

Okay so we all know the things that Harry, Ron and Hermione had to do to get to the sorcerer’s stone in the first book. Devils Snare, the key, the riddle and Wizarding Chess. We know that the Chess set was the work of Professor Mcgonagall, and assuming the protections were meant to work that means that Mcgonagall would have to have been an incredible chess player. Not above average, like GrandMaster level player. Given this when Ron beats McGonagall she is taken aback. Only 3 other people have beaten her, Albus, Severus and Tom Riddle. She takes to playing chess with Ron in the nights following in the common room (Ron doesn’t sleep at all until Harry wakes up and is back in the dorm). She has not beaten him. At the end of year feast when Dumbledore awards him points for the “best chess game Hogwarts have ever seen” the Slytherins and Ravenclaws are utterly ill. Throughout the rest of his Hogwarts career Ron is challenged by more and more students to play chess, Theo Nott, loses to him and the Slytherin students begin to look at him differently. Half of the Ravenclaws in their year watch in awe as he swiftly beats Parma. It continues like this through his time at Hogwarts, he has never lost. The Slytherin students begin to see his cunning mins, right after he beats Pucey, who is infamous for thinking 20 steps ahead. When Ron beats Marietta Edgecombe the Ravenclaws begin to follow him, they watch nearly all of his matches and take notes, completely ignoring the 5 pave paper due tomorrow. After Ron has beaten all of the students Snape (who has been listening to the whispers in the Slytherin common room) challenges him. The whole school watches with bated breath. It is well known that Snape has only ever lost to two people: Dumbledore and Voldemort. McGonagall promises him 15 Knuts if he wins, she can’t contain the shame any longer.

The ensuing chess match takes place over the span of several days, Snape is frequently writing late notes for the students who wish to see it. Other teachers are arriving to their respective classes late. Every time the game is paused Dumbledore casts the anti-tampering ward. This continues for nearly a week, Ron wins. Snape has never respected a Gryffindor more in his life (he is doubly harsh on him in potions, you beat one of the best players in the nation and you mean to tell me your potion is still bubbling??[Ron knows that Snape is seeing him, he just smiles and tweets for a few minutes before a perfect potion is bottled{Snape keeps them in his personal store]}) Eventually Ron is set to play Dumbledore, he is utterly terrified. Soon enough the match is the talk of Wizards across the nation, the Weasley family are all overjoyed for him, win or lose. The game begins and reporters from the Daily Prophet are there, Ron almost cracks, almost In the end after a week and a half Dumbledore’s eyes twinkle, with renewed vigor as he forfeits. Word gets out to Voldemort- he immediately tries to recruit Ron as a Death Eater. Every time Ron rejects him Voldemort sends an increasingly expensive and rare gift. Eventually Ron says if Voldemort vows to not hurt Harry that he will play him in chess, just once. The winner decides their own boon. The world is watching with baited breath as the best chess player and one of the most calculating minds in a century take the stage.The game lasts fornearly 2 weeks, a peace settles over the UK that has not been since Voldemort rose in that grave. The two declare a tie. No body wins, but Voldemort does realize that the war has become far too brutish.

1) Would you ever write another Snack? Turmoil is one of my favourite fics of all time and you get Severus’ internal monologue so perfectly!

and 2) What do you think happens after the events of Turmoil? Do Sirius and Severus get their happy ending?

Lots of love, always ❤️

I don't know if I will write another Snack, but I would like to! They are both such interesting characters, foils to each other.

Oh, I have so many thoughts about Turmoil universe! There are three possible endings.

The most likely, is canon-like. They work with Dumbledore, pretending to be on Voldemort's side, and they win. But this means Severus dies as he did in canon, because he would still be the one to kill Albus, and thus make Voldemort think he owns the elder wand. Sirius would never recover from it.

Or, by a miracle, Severus ends up surviving somehow- I would like that the best. They can finally be free, and Sirius would adopt Delphini, why not, since he would know about her as he is pretending to be on Voldemort's side. But I don't know how Sirius would ever forgive Severus for agreeing to 'sacrifice' Harry at Albus' orders. (Severus doesn't know Dumbledore means for Harry to survive, that there are the Deathly Hallows at play here. He has no idea about that, so when he gives Harry the order to die, he genuinely believes Harry will die, and I don't think Sirius would ever forgive this).

There's also the possibility Sirius finds out about Harry being a Horcrux now, from what Dumbledore tells Severus in his last year of life. Because Severus is now with Sirius, he cannot make himself sacrifice Harry, because he knows Sirius would lose it. So, in this case, they'd make the horrible choice to save Harry, by telling Voldemort Harry is a Horcrux.

Thus Harry is taken prisoner, but unharmed, kept safe, given to Sirius and Severus to protect.

Voldemort wins the war. However, even if this is tragic news for the world at large, and neither Severus nor Sirius are too happy about it (what with V killing Lily and James) they do have each other now, and they do have Harry, and the knowledge they are protecting the only thing left of Lily/James. They are high ranking Death Eaters, the most treasured, since they told Voldemort about Harry (neither are stupid enough to say he's a Horcrux or that they are aware what Horcruxes are, they just drop plenty of hints that Voldemort realises on his own, finally) so the world is at their feet. They enjoy all the privileges and the new world would respect them.

Harry, however, is not happy- he's a prisoner, even if a very comfortable and treasured prisoner, and most of the people he loves died, while he's made to live under Sirius and Severus supervision whom he obviously hates. At best, Sirius could persuade Voldemort to spare some of Harry's friends, maybe Ron, maybe even Hermione, to make his Horcrux 'happy', but that's a best case scenario.

So, pick the ending you like best! They all have some bad parts, but I would chose the one where they work with Dumbledore and make the world a better place for Harry, and Severus survives. Maybe, eventually, they can reconnect, even if Sirius will never truly forgive Severus for telling Harry Dumbledore wanted him to lay down his life. Perhaps Harry would convince Sirius that he doesn't mind, that he forgives and respects Severus. It's the most hopeful ending of all. Plus, it has Delphini in it, and everyone knows I love that girl, and especially would love her raised by Sirius.

BET

To his surprise, she laughed in his face. - “Really, Draco? Did you think I fell for you? I knew about this bet with your friends from the beginning.”

“What?” - he managed to mumble before she patted him condescendingly on the shoulder. Turning around, he saw a smile on Hermione's face. A smile that shouldn't be there.

“Come on. Did you really think I fell for it? I had some fun with this bet, plus I didn't have to strain to fuck the Slytherin Sex God. By the way, I think the rumors about you are…” - she showed a gesture clearly meaning something small - “…a bit exaggerated.”

At that moment Hermione Granger turned around and, leaving the four surprised Slytherins, approached Harry Potter who, with a sour expression, handed her a bag full of Galleons. Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood patted her on the back with smiles.

At the end of the Gryffindor shouted - “Let's go shopping girls. And it's all because our Slytherin Prince was easier for me than the Muggle Studies test in my first year.”

The whole situation was observed by Severus Snape, who knew that the game had only just begun. However, even though he was Draco's godfather, he was sure that Hermione Granger won not only that round, but that she would win the war as well.

Hi! I've been dipping my feet into snary because I'm kinda in an age gap, professor/student vibe recently, but I've been struggling to find slow burn fics still set in Hogwarts, do you have any good recs? Thank you either way!!

Hello hello! Sorry for the late reply, but life has been a lot lately! That said, I was glad to see this ask, as I'm such a sucker for age gaps and student/teacher fics! I don't read much slow burn, as I'm much more a lady for instant gratification, but hopefully I'll have a few good ones for you!

A short-lived series of private lessons took place after Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth school year, during which Severus Snape attempted to teach Harry the skill of Occlumency. The lessons were ultimately cancelled when Harry was caught prying into Snape's memories, discovering the strangest things: A mysterious prophecy connected Harry's fate with Voldemort's, Harry's dad was an insufferable bully, and Severus Snape had been in love with Harry's mum. Naturally, Harry now has a million questions. Snape would prefer to answer none.

A sullen Draco rallies and returns to Hogwarts, putting on a brave face for the redemption of his family. Ron is fumbling at the Ministry while Hermione practically teaches Transfiguration in light of a suitable teacher. But Harry’s most challenging task is not playing frenemies with Malfoy like it’s to win the House Cup, it’s grasping for closure with the people who are still alive.

11- Antonin/hermione ☺️

Antonin crept through the dungeons beneath Malfoy Manor where the highest ranking prisoners were being kept, out of the hands of the lowly snatchers who might have found them. He walked by numerous people — Lovegood, Ollivander, Creevy — but paid all of them no mind. None except for one.

The prisoner he sought was all the way at one end, furthest away from the narrow staircase that led underground. It showed how precious she was.

Hermione Granger had been caught by Fenrir Greyback and brought to Malfoy Manor with Potter and the Weasley boy. Her friends escaped, but she had been left behind, caught in Bellatrix’s grasp. She remained in Malfoy Manor since then, unaware of the War coming to its ultimate conclusion, unaware of the Dark Lord’s victory.

He found her huddled on a bed, staring listlessly at the wall. “The War is over,” he said, announcing his presence.

Her fiery brown eyes flickered to him. “And since you are here that must mean that Voldemort was victorious,” she spat out.

Antonin flinched at the word. “Yes,” he said simply, doing nothing to soften or sharpen the blow. “We are being granted boons. Each Death Eater can ask for one thing, whatever we’d like.”

Hermione sat up, a curious look on her face. She pulled her hair over one shoulder. Even though she could use a bath, she was still striking. Antonin could see the wheels turning in her mind. “You want something to do with me, is it?” she asked, slowly. “Pay back for the Department of Mysteries perhaps? Or maybe the coffee shop? You want to torture me or k-kill me?”

She jutted her chin up in the air, the illusion of fearlessness, though he could tell that she was scared inside.

“I had something else in mind, something a bit better. Something that might be equally beneficial for both of us,” he said, giddy at the prospect of her being his. He was so close to her now, he could almost reach out at touch her. “I will ask not to torture you or to kill you, but to make you my own.”

Hermione stood up and walked to the gate that held her in, her fingers around the bars. “Don’t be delusional, Dolohov,” she chided. “I’m a mudblood remember. You are supposed to be riding the Wizarding world of my kind, not intermingling. He would never allow it. And even if he did I am sure your brothers at arms would have something to say about it.”

“He will not deny me this if I ask,” he promised her. “And the Dark Lord knows that there can be… special cases. Like Severus. Like me. Like himself.”

“And the rest of your friends?” she countered, her interest in getting out of her prison winning out.

“No one would dare say anything to you if you were on my arm,” he said, his voice low and seductive. “You could do whatever you want — keep learning, take your NEWTs, become a cursebreaker for all I care. But come back to me — and my bed — every night.”

Hermione suddenly began shaking the door to her prison and gave a little shriek. “You barely even know me,” she spat at him. “Why would you want me anyway.”

He smirked at her. “We’ve dueled enough times for me to know that we would be compatible,” he said, remembering the way that she’d captured his attention, the way her magic felt interacting with his. Surely, she must have felt it, too, or she wouldn’t have entertained him for so long.

She was silent, her eyes searching his for any hint of treachery.

“Say you’ll do it,” he commanded imperiously. “Be my wife.”

ALSO ALSO they keep interacting in the comments so READ THEIR USERNAMES IT'S FUNNIER IF U KNEW WHO IT IS. To this day whenever I remember Voldemort's comment I laugh. I love Hermione's characterization- she's loyal, and she takes no shit. I laugh a lot reading this because Hermione sounds so serious but it's funny. Also my favorite quote:

I don't buy it for a second. The kicked puppy look, the lost baby blue eyes, and pouty lips? I was there when he perfected it. When he used the fake remorse to get out of trouble with the professors.

My Fanfic 💖 Twenty-Five Years (Harry Potter)

Title: Twenty-Five Years

Fandom: Harry Potter

Main Pairing: Harry Potter/Severus Snape

Rating: General

Word Count: 580

Tags: Ficlet, Post-War, Fluff

Notes: For the @houseofsnarry Discord server. Thanks for letting me be my chaotic self. Here's some soft Snarry on the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts.

Summary: 

'Tis the end of the Battle of Hogwarts. Voldemort had fallen, Minerva rescued Severus, and Harry shunned the Deathly Hallows. The following years were spent rebuilding the wizarding world and navigating new relationships.

'Tis the end of the Battle of Hogwarts.

Voldemort had fallen, Minerva rescued Severus, and Harry shunned the Deathly Hallows. The following years were spent rebuilding the wizarding world and navigating new relationships.

One day, during yet another fundraising effort for funds to rebuild Hogwarts, Harry caught Severus unaware in a corridor. After awkward greetings, they spoke of their pained history — of Severus's role in the war, of Harry's role in the war, and of how they wished their roles weren't branded to their person. The public only see them as saviours and their past heroic deeds, refusing to let them move onwards with their life — to make mistakes and fumble and figure out their place in the new world order.

This meeting led to another meeting and yet another meeting every time the Ministry or the Board of Governors held events and demanded them both to attend.

Finally, one holiday event six years after the war, Harry asked Severus to meet him at a Muggle coffee shop. Severus agreed. He had gained a fondness for the man — an absurd emotion he couldn't help but explore.

The coffee date led to another and then another. Soon, they were grabbing meals and drinks all over Muggle London: the Indian place that served outrageously spicy curry, the pub that had a Wednesday fish and chips special, the Italian place with the rich, creamy carbonara.

Their friends could see what they couldn't see. They were fond of each other. Minerva ran bets on when Severus would make his move. Hermione dropped not-so-subtle hints about Harry and his love life. George straight up said to them both when they visited his shop to grab each other and fuck right then and there. He would sell tickets.

Severus and Harry weren't blind. They knew the other had feelings — the lingering touches, the stolen glances, the flushed cheeks.

The war had them rush through their life — to get one step ahead of Voldemort, to learn new defensive spells, to battle for one's life.

They wanted to savour their time and learn from one another: the other man's ticks, his ingrained habits, his tea preference. ("Microwave! You're a wizard!!!! You don't have to use an electric kettle, but a spell is better than a microwave!")

Then one day, fifteen years after the war, Teddy couldn't wait any longer.

"I lost my mum and dad in the war. Life is short. Like hell I'll wait another fifteen years for you two arseholes to fuck."

Harry, after getting over the shock of his godson cursing, agreed.

"We're going to fuck?" asked Severus, his eyebrows raised and his tone light.

"No," said Harry. His smile was wide and infectious. "We're going to get married."

Luna collected her winnings. "It's obvious," said Luna as she counted her Galleons, a tad exasperated with her friends. They should know better by now. "The Nargles see all."

Severus and Harry spent their married life away from the public. After two decades, the war was hardly present in the public's mind. Its impacts were not so ever present. There was no need for the constant fundraising events.

But, every anniversary, without fail, they would make their trek to Hogwarts. They would spend the morning walking the grounds. They would pay their respects to Albus, and when they finally make their way to the memorial, they would count themselves lucky — that they survived, that they were given a second chance, and that they found each other.

-snape was racist and called lily a slur um the context ?he was being stripped hanging upside down literally in front of the whole school to see because marauders were bored lily intervened and tried to "talk" them out of it ngl she almost smiled what's funny about sexual assault??also racist for how long?sure he was shitty in his teens wanting the approval of his wannabe deatheater friends But in his later years he was devoted to the cause evidence the ex headmaster potrait thing in book 7

You are oh so worried and sympathetic to Neville for getting bullied but that's how all the teachers literally were to him (mcgonegal in book 3**)but when it's SNIVELLUS bullying is funny?

-invented a curse for enemies for self defense*** the marauders had done nothing but gang up on him since day 1 please don't come at me calling 4 on 1 a rivalry when the book describes Sirius looking at him like a "prey" so deserved honestly

-later he became a death eater or rather was brainwashed into becoming one because that's the only place they appreciated his skills and accepted him,that's my analysis I can elaborate but anyway he was a spy for FAR FAR FAR LONGER than he was a death eater and people conveniently leave that out how NICE

-about the begged voldy to save only lily be fr the prophecy child was meant to be voldemort's downfall do you expect him to beg for the very reason voldemort's after the family ? wouldn't make any difference at all

-im so tired that the fandom doesn't get the concept of a mean teacher and exaggerate it only when it's Snape ,he was strict hard on them and his class was certainly far ahead on the curriculum he was a competent teacher a bit harsh but what's your theory about mcgonegal being hermiones boggart?

For the pet part i will quote this person because they made a fucking valid point that seems to fly over peoples heads "Snape didn't poison Trevor - and even if he did:

That's the purpose of animals being at Hogwarts. They use their animals as test subjects for spells, charms, transfiguration - probably potions too, though Trevor shouldn't have been in the class that day.

Neville fucked up his potion, as he always does, so Snape was like:

'I'm going to give it to the toad you shouldn't have brought to class - so you better fix it. You have a time limit. This is a test.'

The potion was fixed - but by Hermione. It turned Trevor into a tadpole. Snape had the antidotes in his pockets and restored Trevor immediately - irritated that Neville needed Hermione's help."

-Sectumseprad georges ear yes WHILE HE WAS SAVING LUPINS LIFE?read the books carefully guys honestly

-outed Remus as a werewolf completely deserved he was careless with his furry little problem* a literal hazard to students while Snape worked tirelessly to make him wolfsbane throughout the year

Honestly it's funny how you downplay switching sides as if it's not that big of a deal literally the reason they managed to win the war not because of maraudes not because of James becoming an animagus which is so nice and kind (not downplaying it that's a good thing)but severus devoting himself to double crossing the most feared wizard is meh ?

Again James saved Snape because Sirius sent him there literally ultimately saving Sirius from being a Murderer?that's the bare minimum not killing a guy you relentlessly bully

Saying snapes good are far far less than James is wow?no he died at 21 lol and giving his life for his own son* again that's what he's supposed to do Snape wasn't compelled to save his bullys son thruout 7 years .james wasn't much of a keypart in winning the war aside from making a prophecy baby.

Sorry if ur offended but that's literally the books thank you for coming to my bitchtalk severus Snape 🔛🔝(creds to fellow Tumblr I quoted in the pet part)

“but james potter was a bully””he bullied snape!!!” ok? someone had to do it.

🙄

~Here’s a list of good and shitty things Snape did canonically:

Bad:

•Snape was a blood supremacist who called lily a slur.

•invented a curse for enemies (marauders)

I don’t think a good person would make up a curse which mutilates someone terribly. That too, during his time in Hogwarts.

•oh yeah later on he became a death eater 😋 (the main goal of the death eaters wasto eliminate all muggle-borns in the wizarding world and establish voldemort as its ruler)(magical nazis basically).

Plus when voldy was going to kill lily, Snape was like yk what you can kill the husband and the INFANT just don’t hurt my lily flower teehee like okay james bullied him so him not caring about james made sense but harry was a child bro

•BULLIED CHILDREN DURING HIS TIME AS A PROFESSOR????? he was literally neville’s bogart ffs and not because “some teachers are just scary okay Neville was afraid of almost everything!!!” but because Snape bullied neville on a daily basis plus threatened to kill his pet after a failed potion thingy. plus he made fun hermione’s physical appearance (when draco made her teeth all big and Snape was like hah it’s the same there’s no difference) and he bullied for BEING GOOD AT ACADEMICS LIKE 😭😭😭???? He bullied almost everyone in Hogwarts I just know it.

•sectumsempra’d George’s year off.

•tried to out Remus Lupin as a werewolf for NO reason other than his childish misdemeanour.

Good:

•called Sirius and Remus an old married couple.

•saves Katie bell from a cursed necklace

•saves draco malfoy from a terrible curse that could’ve killed him by the counter charm “vulnera saneteur”

can someone guess which curse Snape saved draco from??? You’re right! It was sectumsempra!

•switched sides or smth

~Here’s a list of good and shitty things james did canonically:

Bad:

•called Snape snivellus (was funny ngl)

•bully snape

Good:

•turned into an illegal animagus at the age of 15 so his werewolf friend (Remus) has company during his transformations.

•took sirius black in after he ran away from an abusive hoursehold.

•SAVED FUCKING SNAPE FROM REMUS IN HIS WEREWOLF FORM AFTER SIRIUS SENT HIM THERE.

JAMES SAVED SNAPE.

•literally died trying to stall Voldemort so Lily and Harry have some time to escape or just live in general.

So my point is canon james was a bit of an asshole but he still did way more good deeds than Snape even though Snape was in all the seven books like one of the good things he did was literally the consequences of his own actions (healing draco).

All of this is canon btw. NONE of it is fanon.

sincerely keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth he did what should have been done.

Ashes of the Past

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/7pVJLkB by NellieCrayne The war is over, Darkness reigns, the bodies of the fallen have long since turned to dust, but one grave remains untouched. A name carved into the stone that should have never been there. His wife long since dead had destroyed him until one person broke him...completely. Draco Malfoy is dead. His son, Scorpius, lies buried beside him. Everyone believes they know what happened. Some say the Dark Lord himself ordered their deaths, others whisper that a vengeful Death Eater and rightful heir took them as a final act of cruelty. But the truth... is far more twisted. No one really knows what came to pass that night. Because the person who killed Draco Malfoy and his family is the last person anyone would ever suspect. They’ll find out though my dear's, they'll find out what I did, You'll find out what I did, and when you do...it will change everything. Mwah 💋 don't let the dead bite.
