Things I would change in the world of Harry potter.

(I have a whole list, so buckle up)

First off, I would give more information about the wizarding world itself. We barely see the fashion, traditions, customs, and such (other than the malfoys being fashion icons) I want to see more of it. Know more about it

I feel like the ministry of magic will think they are in charge, but the real ones behind it would be whoever the original pureblood families either appoint or whoever steps up to the title of running things with the ministry. Like whoever the head(s) of whatever pureblood house that was put in charge says goes, and the ministry has to obey.

Definitely try to fit some information on the pureblood families, including the original pureblood families (I know there's only so much information to fit on the books, but the fans can't come up with everything J.k Rowling. WE CAN ONLY CREATE SO MUCH!!!!)

A magical wizard mailman/woman. If the Wizarding world is so worried about their world getting discovered by muggles, then maybe, just maybe....DON'T SEND A BUNCH OF FREAKING OWLS TO MUGGLE OR HALF BLOOD KIDS HOUSES WHERE EVERYONE WHO ISNT A WIZARD CAN SEE THEM!!

Having this mailman/woman explain what's happening to those who have no idea WHAT THE FRICK IS HAPPENING. AND WHY THERE CHILD IS LIKE THIS.

Glamour being created or some kind of mist similar to Percy jackson so that way whenever magic is being used in public. Normal muggles would see something different instead of magic being used or blasted out in the open

More history on magic and wizards and how they made their world.

More magical sports. We can't have just quidditch canwe?

Wands as just a way to control untrained children magic because, according to sources. Wizard and witch Magic as children is unpredictable and dangerous, so I'm thinking that wands would just be a way for children to focus and train their magic until they are ready to use wandless magic.

More information on the countless wizard schools around the world (why couldn't j.k Rowling pull a Rick Riordan and have people from different countries and states write their Wizarding schools so that way no one would be offended and they would be represented correctly)

Wizarding schools teaching children wandless magic. This class would be a must because as soon as these wizards lose their wand. It's games over if they don't get it back quickly, so yeah, this class IS a MUST!!!

Magic defense classes. And I'm not talking about defense against dark arts and spells and such. No, I'm talking about actual fighting hand to hand magic classes. Kind of like Dr. Strange. Cause these kids can not rely on their wands and a bunch of non magic punches in the face to save them. Teach them some basic hand to hand combat with and without magic, especially if their thinking about taking on an adventurous line of work with dangers on the way.

A fair Wizarding government that selects fair headmasters (Dumbledore should've never been headmaster given his track record, let's be honest)

A minor wizarding jail for small crimes like jaywalking and such and Azkaban being a last resort for the absolute worst crimes that anyone can commit.

Dementors are a bit on the extreme side, and they betrayed the wizarding world and killed (I think) a bunch of people who were ACTUALLY INNOCENT AND WENT TO THE DARK SIDE.

Different types of magic. And no, I'm not talking about potions, herbology, and defense against the dark arts. No, I'm talking about during the course of your education at whatever Wizarding school you go to, you find out what magic you have. Like mystic arts, rune magic, weapon magic, dark magic, chain magic, elemental magic, etc. That type of magic, and when you find out what magic you have, then you get to unlock a multitude of classes to help you master this type of magic and sharpen and strengthen your skills. (I'm feeling this, along with wandless classes, are a 3rd or 4th year thing)

Wizard money. Make it make sense.

Dark forbidden magic consequences. (Allow me to elaborate). So we saw what happened to Voldemort when one goes to the extreme for power and resorts to dark forbidden magic. But what about his followers? I think there should be a mark for those who start using forbidden magic that even glamor can't hide

I would legit want to see how people with disabilities would take on this world like blind or deaf, etc.

Technology. Get with the Times wizard world. Get with the times.

The Wizarding world needs to know more about the no-maj world. They are accepting half-bloods and muggles into their world. They have to know what's going on instead of hiding from them 24/7

More career paths that are similar to what we muggles have in the real world

Secret ministry of magic combat groups. The normal government has them. Why can't they? (they take care of dark forces outside the laws of the minstry)

Should witch hunters be a thing? Idk, just a thought

Wizarding schools actually being PREPARED FOR WEREWOLF CHILDREN TO ENTER THEIR SCHOOLS!!!!

The tr-wizard tournament not being so extreme. These are children in school, not adults people.

I want to know if there's a school that only accepted muggles and half-bloods. It's a must and I know there's one out there.

The Wizarding world using muggle things to make their life easier instead of using magic all the time.

Magic aura and energy acting as a shield.

More sources of transportation around the wizarding society.

Vampires. I want to know how they would be depicted (my best guess is that they would be aristocrats, but their magic is less powerful than wizards and witches)

I think that's everything. I will make a pt.2 if I have more.

Hope you enjoy

Roaring 20s au for a harry potter fic

Character a owns a speakeasy, and character b is a police officer that tries to catch character a doing illicit activities, such as selling alcohol. And, of course, their antagonizing becomes flirtatious.

I'm imagining Severus and Sirius in this situation, but you can imagine whoever you want.

Please, Minerva has insomnia too. Look at when she was born (I go with the original hinting and not Fantastic Beast rewrite). For it being 1935, this means she started Hogwarts in 1947, graduating in 1954. She began teaching Dec 1956. This makes her a kid during the war with Grindelwald, mind you a halfblood child. Her magic and her mother's hidden from her father - and she has brothers so she likely help hide theirs. And when she graduated she went into the Ministry Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Minerva then goes through as not only Dumbledore’s second at the school but also helps with the war against Voldemort, going on to lose multiple of her students (and being there the night that Harry is left at the Dursley’s - it is her who begs Dumbledore to tell her that the story of "Lily and James" being whispered about isn't true). Meanwhile, before Harry even makes it to Hogwarts .... she goes on to get married and widowed.

This woman has lost students, multiple coworkers (how many Defense professors died?!), at least her father (a muggle, he won't live as long as the rest of her family), a husband, and who knows what else she may have suffered.

This woman wonders the halls as a cat at night. She is the one who introduced Sev to coffee, and the best teas to survive early morning staff meetings. She'll join him on late night wanderings even if he tries to glare her away. The staff knows they are the insomnia duo and not to try to interrupt them.

Dumbledore tried once and found all his trinkets reorganized ..... it took him a month to get his office fixed.

I headcanon that Severus offers to do most night patrols of the castle because he suffers from insomnia. Hence why he's snappy during lessons. The man is EXHAUSTED.

Minerva: Severus, you've done most shifts this week. Surely you must need to sleep?

Severus: Sleep evades me but the students do not.

herbert west playing yugioh if you even care 🙄

[ebysse]

run, severus, run! (x7)

[runtwithwolves]

remember that time Stan agreed to be a vessel

[snapeysister]

Just came up with something,

We know Voldemort didn't kill Dumbledore, but let's assume he did at some point. Would he have made him into another Horcrux?... and would it have worked? (Because if inanimate objects can bear a piece of a soul, why shouldn't dead objects be able to, as well?)

hold your hand out for your Malfoy and see what he does 🐶

THANK YOU FOR 1000 FOLLOWERS!! ⚡🍏

You're my favorite song

[courfee]

it's been exactly a year since the last chapter of Operation Walburga's Arbitrary No Kissing Ever Rule and I still miss it. This scene is probably one of my favourite things I've ever written and I've wanted to draw it for forever, so now seemed like an appropriate time

dungeon farming economy setting with a healer girl MC suffering crippling boredom due to her subclass being inefficient for the most effective farming parties so she's stuck guiding noobs over and over again on the upper levels

then she meets this absolutely unhinged berserker woman that's bleeding all over the place but damn she's good at fighting and it turns out she needs a healer that can work with her that isn't one of the pansy barrier healers that the meta teams want and noone wants a berserker because they're insane and get stronger the closer to death they are, which barrier healers can't help because they're designed for preventing damage and topping off whatever slips past their mitigation. MC's healer class is fucking awesome at sustain and keeping people from dying but all the meta parties use classes and equipment that rely on constantly being topped off, which she can't do because she mostly has beefy heals and defense buffs

so, seeing nothing else to do, MC and Zerker go dungeon diving and after a rocky start, they hit off immediately because MC is actually insanely fight-happy and just wants the rush of a good fight, while Zerker is partly a masochist and partly doing this as a coping mechanism

and thus they become badasses that get further down the dungeon than anyone else in recent history all through sheer gumption, spite, and a looooooot of hyperviolence

oh, and they have hot sloppy yuri sex, can't forget that

[bamsara]

Doing some tests to see if I can make decent prints at home. Ignore Ashley kitty she would not move and bit Sun and Moon 0.2 seconds after the last photo

[fandoomrants]

The only acceptable part about Effie and Monty dying is that:

1. They didn't get to see their boy die.

2. They didn't get to live with the thought that their other boy was responsible for it.

Morning Classes

Severus Snape x Reader

Summary: You spent the night in your boyfriend’s bedroom, at the school he works at. The issue with sleeping in a dungeon, is that you can’t tell when it’s sunrise. You slept in, and decided to make it known to everyone that Severus Snape CAN get some bitches

Warnings: None really, besides implied sexual content. But none actually. Also teenagers being teenagers, and poor Snape ready to have a heart attack

“Sevvy?” You yawned, as you would lift up your head. There you were, in satin sheets. Perfect for the muggy weather that the dungeons collected. Breathe able, light, and soft. Made you want to never leave the ink and emerald covers, but you wanted to get some breakfast with your boyfriend.

Another yawn left you, as you climbed out of the covers. Quick to steal one of his dress shirts, and cover yourself up in. You loved how it was a dress on you. Made you feel so safe, and warm. Emotionally, anyway. Despite the muggy weather of a dungeon, it can change and become so chill. Just a matter of when Peeves wants to snuff out the fire places.

“Sevvy? I want us to get some breakfast.” You called, as you stretched your body. The cold stones sending shivers through your feet, and up your spine. “And cuddles. I want more cuddles.” You cooed, as you would force open the heavy door. The one to lead to his classroom. Took some effort, but you broke through.

“Sevvy, sweetie? Let’s get some br…” Your heart dropped, as you froze. Seems you slept in, because class was in session. The familiar smog of the potions brewing filled the air, but never enough to hide the faces of his students. Along with himself.

The way every student was jaw dropped, at the realization that someone was in Snapes bedroom. Not only in his bedroom, but clearly having spent the night there. They just couldn’t process it, and neither could Snape. That ever cold scowl vanished, to be replaced with the most brilliant of pink cheeks. Seems Hogwarts was just a breeding ground of making sure he got embarrassed.

“Oh….I….Apologies….It can be kinda hard to tell the time, when you are underground.” You gulped, as you rubbed the back of your neck. You tried to step out of the room, but your back came into contact with the door. No way did you want to turn around, and risk exposing your naked butt to a bunch of kids. That’s not only gross, but also very embarrassing.

“Damn, kinda hot-“ A student said, causing Snape’s head to spin so sharply. You are surprised that no bones were broken in the process. As if he had time to figure out who said that. He had a partner to worry about. He cursed himself for letting you sleep in.

“Not. A. WORD.” He warned his students, as he quickly ran to your side. Swiftly he would take off his ever present cloak, and wrapped it around you. Let you be covered, as the students still stared. Never did they think Snape could be human. Find love, have a romance, be intimate with someone. It was just kinda assumed he was an entity all on his own.

“I am so sorry-“ You quickly whispered, with shame in your eyes. Way to go. You had to humiliate him. A man that’s been burdened with such all his life. You just had to give him more trauma. Way to go. That’s reading on your face like a book, and he won’t have any of that. He will break the cycle.

“I should have left a note-“ He tried to whisper back, but failed. The classroom was so silent, from shock, so much as his own heart beat could be heard. Was Snape taking responsibility for his own actions, and not wanting someone to feel bad? Who is this imposter? That was getting the class rowdy now.

“Students-“ He warned, but the teenagers in them were over ruled. They had so many questions. Who is this person? How did you two meet? Did you go to Hogwarts with him? Are you from another school? Pure blood? Muggle born? Did you top?!

“I uh. Just better go get some pants on-“ You swallowed, as he nodded. He was quick to open the door for you, and you ran in. It would then slam behind you, but it couldn’t muffle the gossiping of the class.

“Children-!” He warned, but their curiosity overruled their fear. They had to know. Who the hell were you?! Why would you settle for him?! So many questions, so little class time to figure it all out. They needed to know!

You made sure to hurry up, and slipped on some random bottoms. Along with a cozy top. Just clothes to actually wear, as to go out there and save your boyfriend. It must be an emotional nightmare to deal with. A bunch of students ganging up on him, much like his childhood. You will save the day.

“Hey everyone-! Sorry about that-! So uh. Hi! Yes, I’m his romantic partner. No, we didn’t meet at Hogwarts. I’m a-“ You began to rattle off, as to try and settle everyone down. Along with give Severus a moment to breathe. Breathe, and process what is happening. So much for staying under the radar.

“Why him?” Someone asked. Damn, even you could feel Snape’s death glare towards the student. Stings, but you snuck your hand to tangle with his. Comforting him, with brushing your thumb over his knuckles.

“Oh where do I start? Handsome, smart, charismatic, playful-“ That got a brow raise at the remark. The moment you kissed his cheek? Everyone was gagging, and making mock throwing up noises. You swore you saw a smile tug at his lips, at such foolery. Had you giggle, as you nuzzled your head into his shoulder.

“Thank Merlin, the bell-!” A student shouted, as the clock tower rang. Everyone was quick to bolt, leaving behind cauldrons full of left over potions. That had him rubbing his temples, but you already grabbed your wand. Working on the first one for him.

“The talk of the school….again….” He grumbled, as he would work on another one. He never liked being in the spotlight. If he could hide in the shadows, he would. Impossible now. Given the ‘scary potion master’ now had a romantic partner. Someone could love him? Such horror.

“Oh hush. Bet they are just jealous that I’m the lucky one.” You soothed, as you would give his cheek another kiss. Make that, multiple kisses. Just peppering him, and not willing to lighten up. Not until he smiled.

Took a minute, but he did. Just for you. He smiled, and soon returned a peck to your own. Far softer, and quieter. Just how he was. Like a gust of wind, in the moonlight. One of the endless reasons you adored him.

“So…..no breakfast-?” You puzzled, before he handed you over an apple. He had made sure to grab you something, after he had his own. He kept you in his thoughts. Had you just beaming, as you happily took it. Taking a large bite, as you now sat on his desk. Eye candy, as he worked.

Maybe today won’t be so bad after all. He’s in good company.

One thing that never fails to shock me is how many Marauder stans I’ve seen hating on Draco for saying this line to Hermione in GoF:

“Granger, they’re after Muggles,” said Malfoy. “D’you want to be showing off your knickers in midair? Because if you do, hang around . . . they’re moving this way, and it would give us all a laugh.”

Yet somehow they can’t apply that same logic to what happened in SWM:

James whirled about; a second flash of light later, Snape was hanging upside down in the air, his robes falling over his head to reveal skinny, pallid legs and a pair of graying underpants.

Many people in the small crowd watching cheered. Sirius, James, and Wormtail roared with laughter.

I’ve seen Marauder stans who bash Draco and call him horrible for “making a SA joke,” but then go ahead and defend what the Marauders did (which was ACTUAL SA, not just a gross joke) in SWM as if that’s not much worse. The irony is ridiculous.

That’s always confused me because… they can clearly see the harm in a character making a SA joke, but they gloss over or even justify their favourites characters actually doing what said character joked about??? Make it make sense.

time travel fix it au where 6th year draco, rather than fixing the vanishing cabinet to bring death eaters, turns it into a time portal to warn his 11yo self not to trust his father

exiting the cabinet's pair in borgin & burkes in 1991 and apparating into the manor, the wards recognizing him. appearing before his younger self tired, gaunt and traumatized.

his younger self is afraid of this man who looks to be on the brink of madness, whose hair is limp and unkempt, whose eyes rove, unable to focus on one point. this man who reminds him so much of his aunt bella, but looks so much like his mother. like himself.

17-year-old draco is frantic and desperate. shaking his younger self in bouts of anger and fear. "you must listen," he repeats. don't trust father. forget everything he's taught you. there's no honor in the malfoy name. blood purity will destroy you. don't trust him. listen to me. please. please listen to me.

the moment you can, you need to leave the manor. it's not safe here. you can't trust anyone, not in slytherin, not in the sacred 28. they'll turn you in. find somewhere safe, away from here. please listen.

"what about mother" his younger self asks. he's afraid. afraid of the version of himself who looks, acts like this. afraid of the things that are being asked of him. afraid to lose himself.

older draco breaks down in a sob. its the cry of a broken man, one who's lost everything. his fingers dig painfully into 11-year-old draco's shoulders.

"she let me become this," he says. "she told me she loves me, but she let me become this."

he cries and cries and cries.

young draco agrees to change his fate, if only to stop the loud sobs that are bound to attract attention.

it's like a switch flips, and older draco stops crying. he looks at his younger self, and suddenly his face is full of life. it's like he's glowing.

"i can feel it," he says in an awed whisper. "can't you? you've done it already."

and then he disappears.
