#hp next gen fandom

[t1oui]

since nuna (neville x luna) are and have been one of my otps since i first became part of the hp fandom, whenever i write next gen lorcan and lysander scamander are actually lorcan and lysander longbottom and they're neville and luna's kids. but recently i had an idea for the twins that i love even more

so whenever i write next gen, lorcan and lysander also have a younger sister named alice who's 6 years younger than them. in my head, alice looks a lot like neville and the twins both look mostly like luna. i also have an oc named ivan scamander who is rolf and hannah abbott's, and he's 3 years younger than the twins.

so what if, instead of the twins being neville's from the start, they're from luna's first marriage to rolf?

luna and rolf meet and become friends when rolf returns to hogwarts for his eighth year. they get married soon after graduation, even though they're mostly just good friends. they have the twins together and when the twins are a year old, they end up divorcing.

pretty soon after rolf and hannah meet at the leaky cauldron and start talking. to be honest, hannah getting pregnant is sort of a surprise, and rolf definitely shows up at luna's in a panic when he finds out. he and hannah end up deciding to keep the kid though, aka ivan scamander.

around the same time that ivan is born, luna and neville run into each other at some event or something and start talking again. they write letters back and forth about plants and theories and the latest edition of the quibbler before neville finally works up the courage to ask her out (with a lot, and i mean a lot, of encouragement from harry and ginny) and they start dating. they get married after 2 years and alice is born another year later.

all of that is to say, lorcan and lysander are ivan's half siblings and also have a younger half-sister named alice, and i think that's great

honestly i see rolf as sort of a mess, especially with this au, so he may or may not also get divorced from hannah at some point. idk who he'd date after that - i'm thinking one of the background hufflepuff boys (justin, ernie, or zacharias)

anyway this was very random but yeah here are some headcanons ig

James Sirius Potter Facts

• He loved quidditch. Like really loved it. Knew he was expected to be a seeker like his dad but being a chaser like his mum is way more fun.

• He thought he was only popular because of his family but people actually really liked him for who he was.

• Has a lot of muggle born friends because at least when he started school they had no idea who he was.

• ADHD.

• Struggles to open up to people, even the ones he’s closest to. Only started opening up more when he was diagnosed with cyclothemia.

• Even though Fred is his best friend he is probably closest to Teddy or Dom.

• He was kidnapped for 5 days when he was 9 by some remaining death eaters. He tells everyone he doesn’t remember anything but he does.

• Didn’t actually care that Albus was in Slytherin and was first to stand up and applaud after his sorting.

• He wasn’t actually that good at school. He struggles a lot with the theory side of things but he was one of the best duellers at Hogwarts so people didn’t really notice.

So I've seen the headcanon floating around that when people marry into the Malfoy family, their hair turns platinum blonde.

I would like to expand on this theory: for generations now, any women married into the family would color their hair to match everyone else. However, they would refuse to tell anyone they were doing this artificially, except to explain this rule to the new wives as they got married in. From this came the theory that it happened naturally when you got married in. No one starts to figure it out until around Deathly Hallows, when Narcissa has not the time/resources to keep coloring it and the color fades into its natural black. Then, Draco marries Astoria and her hair never changes either.

Albus Potter brings the trend back by putting blonde streaks in his hair after the wedding, just to freak everyone out.

Scorbus!

Lily: Ted would you rather kill me or James?

Teddy: er… that's hard…but I think I would go with Albus

Albus in the background: I wasn't even a fcking option-

[caffeine-cryptidz]

albus potter general headcanons ｡･:*˚:✧｡

His birthday is September 5th. I am of the strong opinion that Albus is a Virgo.

His interests include comics (both traditional and webcomics), puzzles, pencil sketching, oil pastels, and Shakespeare.

His favorite color is a dark plum.

He has ADHD and it went undiagnosed until his sixth year.

He's a surprisingly big fan of twee music, but he's mainly a video essay/podcast guy.

This year he's taking a year off to hang out with his family and boyfriend. He's spending a lot of time in nature.

His favorite food is homemade brownies. He and Aunt Hermione eat chocolate like crazy together.

Albus is a night owl. He takes long strolls under the stars, lays out on the roof at midnight, sleeps all day, etc. If you get him at night you get a much less grumpy Albus.

Albus has a very strong sense of style, but he will always choose comfort over style. Can he put together an outfit? Absolutely. Will you always see him in a hoodie and sweatpants? Absolutely.

His eyes scrunch up when he smiles to the point where you can't even see them. He also has the cutest dimples ever.

ive been reading so much fanfiction I thought "tempus" was a canon spell

[t1oui]

thinking about writing a next gen fic about what happens to next gen characters after the muggle world finds out/is told about magic

[hogwartsthenextgeneration]

Sometimes I forget that these kids would literally be famous. Like tabloid stories written about them every week and being stalked by the paparazzi famous.

I now imagine them all gathering round the lake every week to read about the new and exciting things they’re up to.

Rose: “Oh wow Dom you have been seen getting steamy with 4 whole boys this week”

Dom: “Oh my god I’m such a little slut please don’t tell my girlfriend!”

James: “Well Vic has threatened the life of several students who called her a bitch”

Vic: “It was one student and they didn’t just call me a bitch. Anyway you have been caught getting drunk in Hogsmede again”

James: “oh my god I was barely tipsy!!”

Roxanne: “this one’s hilarious, Albus Potter has been seen sneaking into broom closets with a certain blonde slytherin on numerous occasions”

Hugo: “HAHA that’s ridiculous”

Fred: “Albus and Scorpius imagine oh my god”

Molly: “they’re obsessed with a potter and a malfoy dating they just won’t accept it’ll never happen”

Albus: “haha yeah that’s insane literally crazy who would ever even think that…”

Everyone: “wait…”
