With the new Valentine’s Day Ball TSLQ coming, I decided to join the bandwagon of artists making their MC’s ball outfits as well. Given how the outfits seem to be more on the casual side of things, I decided to follow suit.

The staple piece here is that black blazer with a slash of roses across it with matching socks to match Barnaby’s outfit (which has a shirt with rose prints on it). I also gave my boy a lovely maroon turtleneck with matching folded maroon skinny chinos, and black boots with maroon laces. The look is based on what my boy would usually wear outside of his school uniform, which is something along the lines of “preppy hipster”.

A huge thank you to @visceryl and @kathrynalicemc for being my sounding boards for the look uwu 🥺💙💚

You’re Beautiful, Little Bird

Judith and Talbott were slow dancing together, lost in their storybook fairytale world. 

Out all of the dates they’ve been together, Judith found herself favoring this one above all others. Talbott made her feel things that she never felt before.

Beautiful.

Vulnerable.

Wanted.

Loved...

Something about the way he was looking at her felt intimate. It both scared and excited the Hufflepuff witch.

She truly felt like she had a chance with someone. To love and be loved.

But she was scared that this was all too good to be true. That this was all really a fairytale and she would wake up to her cold reality. 

A reality that mocks her every time she looks in the mirror...

“Judith?” The dark skin girl mentally shook her head, looking up to find red eyes staring back at her.

“Y-Yes,” she quietly asked.

“Is everything alright? You seemed lost in thought,” Talbott said softly. Judith blushed at his intense gaze.

“N-no, no. I just zoned out for a bit,” she said. Talbott narrowed his eyes but didn’t say anything else. Judith soon felt her blush grow worse under Talbott’s stare. She felt tempted to move her head to hide her scar.

“W-What,” she finally asked in attempt to break the silence. Talbott blinked slowly, as if he was waking up from a daze.

“I’m sorry, Judith. It’s just that...” Talbott trailed off for a moment.

“You’re so beautiful, little bird,” he whispered, almost breathlessly. Judith felt her heart skip a moment, ducking her head so the Ravenclaw wizard couldn’t see her face.

“T-There’s no need to l-lie to me just because it’s V-Valentine’s Day,” she mumbled. Talbott frowned upon hearing this. The pair stopped dancing.

“I’m serious, Judith. You’re really beautiful, no matter the day...” Judith shoved him away. Pale gold eyes looked up, glaring at avian Animagus. A small shiver ran down his spine as the scar covering her left eye intensified the effect of her glare.

“Beautiful?! Talbott, LOOK AT ME! This burn scar is hideous! No wizard in his right mind would think I’m...” Her throat worked to swallow a lump the suddenly formed there. Red eyes narrowed as the young wizard stepped closer.

“That you’re what, Judith? That you’re beautiful? Gorgeous? Breathtaking? An angel on Earth?” Heat spread on the Hufflepuff’s cheeks as she struggled to find a response. Taking the opportunity, Talbott grabbed Judith by the waist. Judith ducked her head.

“T-Talbott... d-don’t-”

“Don’t tell me how to feel, Judith. I refuse to hear you talk down about yourself when you’re so much more than your physical looks,” Talbott said firmly. A firm but gentle hand cupped the girl’s cheek, forcing her to meet her date’s eyes. The two stood in silence as Talbott’s thumb slowly swiped across Judith’s bottom lip.

“T-Talbott,” Judith whispered. 

“Mmm... yes, little bird,” Talbott answered in kind. A sharp canine peaked from behind plump, glossy lips, biting down on soft flesh of the lower lip. Talbott silently observed the small motion, feel warmth blossom on his cheeks and inside his chest.

“K-Kiss me... p-please...”

------------------------------------------

New Art, who dis?

So in case you guys are wondering, this is from my “Kendrick Lives AU”. For those who are unfamiliar, Kendrick is Judith’s dad. In this AU, she only lives with him seeing how Kendrick and her mother divorced after she turned 9. Mainly after when Sade purposely melted the left side of Judith’s face, leaving her with a prominent burn scar.

Around this time, her and Talbott are still not quite together. Mainly because of her fear that his feelings aren’t really. She’s very insecure when it comes to her face. Many guys bully her for it, telling her that she’ll forever be alone because of it.

In this AU, Judith is a bit more sensitive. While she wouldn’t outright cry, words do get to her a bit more and since these thoughts already exist in her head, people reaffirming her beliefs make it worse.

Even though Talbott has basically completely fallen for her at this point, she has a hard time believing that.

Inspired by @montaguehphm who had an evolution of his MC and Barnaby's relationship through GIFs, I decided to do a similar thing with edits.

Behold the evolution of Clara and Barnaby's relationship! And yes, I still do not have a good ship name for the two. But oh well, I'm so glad I was able to bring Barnaby on all these dating adventures.

Do you place any of the time limited side quests at a different year from the game? For example, i think it makes sense for the Howling Halloween sq to be set after the sq with the forgetfulness potion in year 3 rather than year 1. The first Christmas sq also takes place in year 1, even though MC wouldn’t know Bill at that point. The patronus sq makes a reference to Mc being a legimellion even though they wouldn’t find that out till later.

I kind of stopped trying to fit all the TLSQs into my story at some point, but I still can’t help wondering where they belong into the canon story. And yeah, probably most of them don’t make sense where they’re placed by the devs (or at least would make more sense somewhere else). Now, I’ll try to keep it short, but I’m gonna comment on pretty much every TLSQ, so… beware.

YEAR 1:

Hagrid’s Birthday. It should’ve been at least Y2. Merula comments at one point that Dumbledore probably wants to give MC 100 House points (which really makes sense only after we got points at the end of Y1), and MC’s bond with Hagrid was much closer in Y2, so they’d indeed be the right person to throw his birthday. Especially that Hagrid canonically was born on December 6th, so in Y1, MC knew him only for three months.

Howling Hallowe’en. All right, so I personally HATE this TLSQ because MC duelling Greyback is stupid no matter their age. But if it has to exist, then as you said, it should’ve happened after “Penny For Your Thoughts”, so not before Y3. I believe Scarlett was supposed to die between Y2 and Y3, so before that, it doesn’t make sense that Penny’s fear of werewolves is so great. It also takes away from the relationship between Penny and Chiara (if Penny didn’t experience the death of her friend, it’s not that meaningful that she overcomes her prejudice for Chiara).

Christmas at Hogwarts. It CAN’T happen before Y2. When Rowan mentions Bill for the first time, MC doesn’t even know who he is. How would it make sense if they spent Christmas together a year earlier? Personally, I think it should be Y3 when MC’s friendship with both Bill and Tonks was closer already.

YEAR 2:

The Weird Sisters. This one should probably be Y4, even if only because of the Sisters’ age. Myron is supposed to be one year older than Bill, meaning that in MC’s Y4, Myron was in his last year. Orsino is supposed to be the same age as Percy, so at the same time he was in his second year – a bit young to be on the band, but possible (more likely than in his first year if you ask me).

Hosting the Beauxbatons. I guess it could stay in Y2, but MC talks quite a lot about the Cursed Vaults and how great they are at solving mysteries, so I believe that Y3 or even Y4 would make more sense.

Chiara’s TLSQ. It happens a year after the Halloween events, so it should be Y4.

Christmas at the Burrow. Again, since it happens a year after the previous Christmas TLSQ, it should be Y4. It goes well with Charlie coming to Hogwarts to rescue us because he and MC got pretty close in Y4 (working on the Forest Vault and all).

Meet the Malfoys. Lucius came to Hogwarts because the school governors were alarmed by the things going on at school, so it has to be after the Vault of Ice. Although, I’d argue that two vaults are more likely to be a reason for concern, putting the quest in Y4. Also, in MC’s second year, Draco was only five! He looked and acted more like a 7/8-years-old.

YEAR 3:

Become an Animagus. A friendly conversation with both Barnaby and Tulip at the very beginning of the quest suggests Y4.

The Frog Choir. It could stay in Y3 since Tulip acts rather uncertain about her friendship with MC. The problem is that it triggers too early. When I played with my second MC a while ago, I’m pretty sure it triggered even before I learnt from Tulip that she worked with Merula.

Flying Solo. It should be Y5 (I imagine that becoming an Animagus would take at least all Y4). There’s the whole conversation where Talbott talks about Rakepick’s white owl. In Y3, Merula thinks she’s about to meet Snape, but then, the mention of school owls doesn’t really make sense – it was definitely written with Rakepick in mind, so I just don’t understand why they placed it in Y3.

YEAR 4:

Become a Prefect. No complaints here.

Magical Creatures Everywhere. As far as I remember, there was nothing that wouldn’t really fit here, so I guess we’re also clear.

Celestial Ball. It’s a bit odd to have a ball when there’s the Sleepwalking Curse at school, but… sure, we can go with this.

Grand Pranksters. Yeah, I believe it all works here again. Tonks and Tulip are pretty close friends already, Rita returned like a couple of months after her second SQ (when we blackmailed her about being an unregistered Animagus). Even Ismelda’s part is okay since she was also one of the optional people to borrow a broom from.

The Patronus TLSQ. It probably should be Y5. The Legilimency scene you mention doesn’t happen if you do the quest in Y4, but the fact that it exists (and it’s quite developed) suggests that the quest was written with Y5 in mind. Again, I don’t understand why it was placed earlier.

First Date. I mean… sure.

YEAR 5:

Sir Cadogan. It definitely belongs to Y5 since it talks about Beatrice being trapped in the portrait. However, similar to the Frog Choir, it triggers too early. I believe it triggers in chapter 6 now. It’d make more sense after our fight in the Library (to remind MC how important it is to work with their friends) and after we found Scabbers in front of the Vault of Ice – so around chapter 14. In the TLSQ, Rakepick revived the Ice Knight, so MC shouldn’t have been that surprised seeing the cursed ice around the castle in the main story. Also, when they searched the Icy Corridor with Jae, it sure sounded like they weren’t there since Y2.

O.W.L.s. No complaints here.

Valentine’s Day. NOPE! Just nope. There’s no way Penny would care about stupid Valentine’s Day while Beatrice was trapped in the portrait. Similar goes to MC who was worried about both Haywood sisters AND they were anxious about finding Jacob in the next vault. Moreover, THERE’S NO WAY Rakepick would allow Lockhart to waste the time of her apprentices. I don’t know where else it fits better, but quite frankly, I don’t care.

The All-Wizards Tournament. I mean, I’m not mad about it being in Y5, but I actually like it better when I think that Hagrid and Kettleburn organised it to distract everyone after Rowan’s death. I’d say it’s more meaningful in Y6.

Festival Fun. Very similar arguments as for the First Date. Although, I suppose it could’ve happened on its own in Y5, just without the dating element.

YEAR 6:

The Dragon Sanctuary. Honestly, it’d probably make more sense as the summer holidays event or even post-graduation, but I guess Y6 is not bad.

The Headkid. Yep, makes sense.

how do i tell Talbott i'm breaking up with him and taking Jae to the ball?

[ramblings-of-a-mad-cat]

Hi :) I’m new to this Hogwarts mystery game. I keep seeing all these posts about being able to date the characters and was wondering which characters can be paired with mc

Hey! Thanks for asking, glad to help :D

There have been three time-limited-side-quests (TLSQs) that allow the player to date characters, but different ones are available in each quest. Without getting too spoilery, here are the options -

The Celestial Ball: Rowan, Ben, Penny, Merula, Tulip, Barnaby, Andre, Ismelda

The First Date: Penny, Merula, Tulip, Barnaby, Andre, Talbott

Valentines Day: Penny, Merula, Barnaby, Andre, Talbott

The first two quests should spawn when you reach fourth year. Valentines is fifth, but it may not be available outside the month of February.

Update: I have been informed that it's not exclusive to february ^^

“I’m so happy you love this. After all the hard work you’ve done trying to make this Valentine’s Day Ball perfect for everyone else, even grumpy ole Filch and pinched-face Pince, I just thought you deserved to have something done just for you.”

“You truly are a romantic, Barnaby. All I wanted was to spend this magical Valentine’s Day with you and I got more than that. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.”

"Oh, it doesn’t end there, love. Ta-da! I got us our own storybook! I wrote it myself!"

"A book! Let me guess. It's a tale of an ambitious but compassionate aspiring magizoologist and a wise-cracking curse-breaker who throw the most legendary party their school has ever seen?"

"And they share a storybook romance along the way."

"That sounds like a tale I'd read again and again forever! Haha!"

“You said ‘forever’, Mon. No takebacks! Hahaha! But I’m so happy you said that. Happier than I've ever been about hugging a Puffskein."

“Happy Valentine's Day, Barnaby. I’m so happy that we could spend this day together."

"Happy Valentine's Day, Montague. Thanks for being my Valentine. You know how much you mean to me and I love you so much."

“I love you too, Barnaby.”

--

In which Barnaby sets up a little special Valentine's surprise for his Valentine, Montague, and they read Barnaby's Valentine's gift (a storybook of them) together. 🥺

Minus the whole everyone's-asking-out-MC-again thing with this TLSQ, I actually thought that this quest was really cute, especially the outcome surprise from the partner you choose. In terms of outfits, I personally chose to don Monty in the outfit I designed for him just a few days ago.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this artwork. It’ll be a while (maybe a few weeks) perhaps before I make another artwork because I need a bit of a break before I can make something new again. Hopefully in time for Spring! Anyway, enjoy my artwork, kids! And Happy Valentine’s Gay to all the LGBTQ+ kiddos out there. 🌈💘💙💚

DO NOT REPOST!

Bonus material under the cut!

I am out here once again, continuing this age-old tradition of the photowall in Monty’s dorm. And oh my god it’s getting really full in here now. I need to explore a new layout for this soonest.

Anyway, enjoy! 💙💚
