Louis headcanons… 🤲

YASSS OKAYYYYY 😻

looks mostly like his dad with his mums colour palate. also a little more snatched like his mum and not as built as his dad. but you can TELL he’s bill’s son if you were to see them side by side

french fuckboy

grew his hair out and had a ponytail era. when he let it loose people genuinely confused him to be a girl (yes he gets hit on by LOTS of confused men and lesbians 😭)

gryffindor with dominique. only a year older than james sirius potter.

closer to dominique than to victoire but respects victoire more funnily enough. kind of like victoire is a second mum. has no problem roasting the shit out of dominique but will check himself with victoire

has begged victoire to give in and date teddy because he desperately wants a cool brother (was happier than teddy and victoire combined when they did get tgt)

is the vain delacour that molly weasley feared fleur was, except he’s masculine as hell and flexes in every mirror he sees (he still looks like a girl)

VERY pretty and could win miss universe or best waifu

he was the femboy reckoning at hogwarts but against his will. he wants women but he keeps pulling men. like that inosuke guy.

best subject was charms and DADA, courtesy of his dad being very talented and his mum being the same except also add her being a drill sergeant

nepo babied his way into interning at gringotts but got on the goblins nerves sm they fired him anyway (louis still pretended to go in because he was so scared about what his parents + victoire would say)

made a secret tiktok account for posting his thirst traps until dominique and victoire found it and he was so embarrassed he deleted it

favourite cousin is roxanne despite their age gap just because shes always so hilarious and always down to do whatever and just never takes anything seriously (also she was the cutest baby in louis’ opinion). its less a friendship and more like a one sided smittenness on louis’ side— he has a whole folder on his camera roll dedicated to her being generally goofy

people use his face for clout and to catfish people all the time. every time his girl friends need to loyalty test their man they just snap a photo of his face

that being said, he IS the man you need to loyalty test. mf has fifteen girls on the back burner that still think they have a chance with him

that also being said, hes waiting for marriage 🙏 (he wants his first time to be special guyz)

that ALSO being said, absolutely no one thinks he’s going to last that long

likes bantering with his mum a lot and getting on her nerves. she’ll start swearing at him in french when rapidly lecturing him in english doesn’t work and he finds that to be the funniest shit ever

bill weasley is such a Daughter Dad so he’ll baby tf out of victoire and dominique and then get louis to do all the household chores 💀

but louis is also the biggest diva in the family by far so bill and fleur drop more money on him than victoire and dominique combined. and then they complain about how spoilt their son is and the girls are just like “🙄 stop buying him shit then 😒”

meh at quidditch but decides he hates it because he’s not the best at it (it’s an ego thing)

really likes his maternal cousins and only allows aunt gabrielle to plait his hair

godfather is uncle percy 😭 every time its his bday louis forces percy to go shopping so he can drop some big bucks on him (whatever karma percy accumulated in his youth has taken the form of his godson now).

lucy is a year older than him and they keep feuding over her dad. think blue haired liberal versus white blond conventionally attractive man. thats the relationship, and its hilarious especially during joint family dinners.

used to be very scared of the dark and couldnt sleep by himself and so victoire was always forced to let louis sleep with her when they were younger

also always goes to victoire for hair care help and his mum for skincare and fashion help

despite being seemingly easygoing and carefree, he can hold VERY mean grudges and will never apologise for something if he doesn’t think he’s in the wrong.

also will fist fight someone over a yo mama joke (yes he’s sensitive about his mum, don’t insult her to his face)

everyone knows louis for the menace he is except grandma molly who treats him like hes the sun that the earth circles around (yes grandma molly likes bill’s kids the most, what of it?)

louis is surprisingly very sweet to old people. he does his due diligence and visits them the most, brings new presents to arthur and helps molly with chores and lets them fuss over him.

okayyyy i think ive yapped enough

[elisedonut]

yeah sure technically there are two Seamus Finnigan/Percy Weasley fics

but really both are in that many many ships in one catagory of fic

so really there are kind of none

and i think that's a shame

you should still read Percyholics Anonymous by hchollym though

How I imagine white hair (Draco/Lucius's hair) vs. how I imagine silver hair (Fleur/Gabrielle's hair), I often see them portrayed as having the same tone, but I see them as slightly different.

Hoookayyy!

I haven’t posted in a bit because life’s been a bit crazy for me. My crush actually asked me out! And now I have a boyfriend, so I took some time off.

Anyways…

We all know how William Weasley (also known as Bill Weasley) got engaged and married Fleur in the books?

We know how Molly and Ginny talk down on her in the book a little, but I propose this:

Ginny actually was angry at Fleur and Bill. Ginny was angry at the couple because her and Gabrielle were dating in secret during the Yule ball. It was a singular time thing, and when they ‘parted’, they left as friends.

The two girls had found comfort in each others arms and Gabrielle had confessed to Ginny one night about how she was scared her sister might be taken away, that her sister would find a lover and Gabrielle wouldn’t be able to see her as often.

The Slytherin students probably got the best view for the 2nd task in GoF now that I think about it.

All they needed to do was line some chairs up by the window since it looks out into the Black Lake and crack open the Bertie Botts.

Why go all the way to the podiums and stare at the surface of a lake for an hour when you can stay indoors and have a better view*

* I’m just guessing on that, I have no clue how far away from the castle (and the Slytherin common room) the mermaids are but they’ve got to have at least seen something out of the windows, right?

On another note: do you reckon they saw Gabrielle, Cho, Ron and Hermione being lowered down? Like 2 students were playing chess by the window when suddenly a redhead just sinks past them…

The Granger Family / The Lost Branch of The Black Family

Bellatrix Pegasus Black XV is the squib daughter of Pollux Betelgeuse Black XIII. She and her twin brother Cygnus were born in 1928. After the Black family threw her out for being a squib, she changed her name to Beatrice Pegasus Granger. Her best friend was a muggle named Hubert Hugh Hughes, who taught her about the muggle world. She taught Hugo about magic and royalty. Several years later she started going by her middle name, Pegasus.

They fell in love, got married, and Hugo took Pegasus’s last name. Pegasus and Hugo became mages and wanted to live in the wizarding world, but mages were illegal preventing them from living normal life. Their anger at this injustice led them to robbing the Ministry of Magic several times.

After Pegasus’ older sister, Walburga, attempted to murder Pegasus and Hugo, they returned to the muggle world. They moved back to Hugo’s birth town of Pentref Coedwig (Welsh for Forest Village) in North Wales.

The only one of Pegasus’ siblings who didn’t disown her was her younger brother Alphard. Alphard did not believe in blood supremacy and was hiding his marriage to Minerva McGonagall from most of his family. Pegasus and Hugo allowed Alphard and Minerva to build a semi-independent flat in their attic. Minerva lived there during the summer and Alphard to keep their marriage hidden bounced between different relatives’ houses.

After moving back to Pentref Coedwig, Pegasus and Hugo had three sons: Antigonus in 1959, Florizel in 1961, and Dogberry in 1963. Pegasus and Hugo told their sons about magic and when they turned eleven started teaching them how to use enchanted items and brew potions.

When Florizel was fourteen he was injured and while recovering he developed an interest in healing. He sought to have dual training in both muggle medical school and as a wizarding healer apprentice. He decided dentistry was the most interesting medical profession.

A year or so later, Alphard broke ties with most of his family and permanently moved in with Pegasus and Hugo.

While Antigonus was dating Elen Awbrey, they decided to set Florizel up with her cousin Jean Awbrey, who was also interested in becoming a dentist. Florizel and Jean hit it off and started dating. They made plans to attend the same university so they would stay together in college.

The spring before they started college, Jean discovered that she was pregnant. Florizel and Jean married in the summer. In September 1979, Jean delivered her daughter, Hermione. Pegasus, Hugo, Alphard, and Minerva offered to help raise her so Florizel and Jean could stay in university. Florizel and Jean named Alphard and Minerva as Hermione’s godparents.

Antigonus and Elen married. Their first son, Dromio was born in 1982. Both Florizel and Antigonus decided that not telling their wives about magic was the best idea. Their primary reasons for not explaining the wizarding world were the civil war, the fact that their parents were legendary criminals, and that their first cousin, Bellatrix was murdering any relatives she deemed un-pure. 

Florizel studied magical healing during summers between college. After finishing medical school, Florizel and Jean set up a dentistry clinic in the city of Bangor in North Wales. Hermione now lived mostly with her parents but still stayed with her grandparents for part of the summer. In October 1985, Florizel and Jean’s second daughter, Hero, was born. 

Antigonus and Elen’s second son, Lysander, was born in 1986. Four years later, Elen died after several months of battling illness. Grief-stricken, Antigonus moved to France. 

In November 1990, Florizel and Jean’s son, Horatio, was born.

When Hermione received her Hogwarts letter, she didn’t know anything about magic or her family’s connections to the magical world. 

Minerva told about magic and the wizarding world; however, she didn’t mention the Granger family ties to the magical world. Additionally, Minerva explained that she is also a witch, but Hermione should not tell anyone, especially Florizel, Jean, and the rest of her family and friends. Minerva also informs Hermione that she is a professor at Hogwarts and it would be best if they pretended not to know each other.

Dromio, in France, received his Beauxbatons letter two years later. While at Beauxbatons, was bullied by the other students for being both British and being the smartest in his year.

Hero and Horatio were staying with Pegasus and Hugo in 1997 when Hermione modified their parents’ memories. Hermione wrote some letters to the rest of her family claiming that Florizel and Jean were working for Doctors Without Borders in Africa and that she was in a foreign exchange program in America. Lysander received his Beauxbatons letter that summer. Hero would have gotten her Hogwarts letter, but Snape’s Hogwarts didn’t admit muggle-borns. 

Alphard got Hero a wand from a French wand-maker and her family started to teach her basic spells. While at Beauxbatons, Lysander became friends with Gabrielle Delacour. 

Around November, Florizel and Jean got their memories back and returned to Great Britain. Florizel started helping his family fight in the war but still refrained from telling Jean anything. The turmoil from moving back into their house and reestablishing their dentistry clinic meant that Hero and Horatio were still living with their grandparents. Florizel believed they were safer with Pegasus and Hugo, anyway.

In March 1998, the Death Eaters launched an attack on Beauxbatons. Dromio broke from his class during the evacuation to warn Lysander and Gabrielle who were studying in an empty room. Dromio retrieved them but couldn’t rejoin the other students before Bellatrix cornered them. She injured all three kids before the teachers rescued them. Dromio had the worst injuries, Gabrielle had the least severe injuries.

The school believed that the primary targets of the attack were Dromio and Lysander and that the best way to protect the rest of the students was to expel them. Antigonus and his sons moved back to Wales and lived with Pegasus and Hugo.

Pegasus, Hugo, Alphard, Antigonus, Florizel, and Dogberry all fought at the battle of Hogwarts.

For the WIP game, can I ask for a snippet of GabrielleHermione?

Hermione woke with a start, the picture her little cousin Sharee made for her sticking to her cheek. She unstuck it blearily, wondering why she woke in the first place. A rapid series of knocks startled her again and she frowned, hiding her wand in her shift sleeve as she stood up from her makeshift desk.  Who would be knocking at this hour or even at all? She’d been vacationing in her grandmother’s old house in the Alps for three weeks now and she hadn’t seen anyone. Frankly, it was glorious, and she was considering hexing whoever was on the other side of the door. 

The knocking sounded again, gaining volume but losing some of the smooth rhythm. After checking to make sure her hair was contained, Hermione threw open the door with enough force to shake a skiff of snow off the roof. 

“What?!”

“‘Ermione! Mon bonheur! Mon mignon! Ma Tigresse!” 

Hermione sputtered as she suddenly had an armful of tall, leggy blonde wrapped completely around her. 

“‘Ermione, your ‘air, it ees still so sompteux…” was murmured into the crook of her neck.

“Gabrielle?” Hermione exclaimed in shock.

Coping

After the second task, Fleur wanted someone to blame, knowing full well who really deserved her ire.

Takes place in the same world as my fic Tender Is The Night which you can read here on ao3. I’m not totally sure but I don’t think I’ll be adding this ficlet to ao3 so it’ll just live here for now.

For the Ladies of HP Fest Monthly Mini: 1 Feb 2024 - Fleur Delacour @ladiesofhpfest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“This is outrageous and an affront. I demand to file a formal complaint against whoever is responsible,” said Fleur upon bursting through the door of Olympe Maxime’s office in the Beauxbatons carriage. It had taken time to make sure Gabrielle was cleaned, fed, and napping in her room, but once she was convinced of her sister’s warmth and safety she’d marched straight towards the office.

From her chair behind her desk, Maxime watched for a few moments as Fleur furiously paced back and forth, then said, “Calm yourself, Fleur. You should’ve known the song wasn’t meant to be taken literally once you realized what was stolen from the champions were actually people. You should’ve known Gabrielle wasn’t in any danger.”

“How? How could I have known that?” Fleur asked, coming to a stop and glaring at the older woman. “People have died in this tournament. No matter what protections they used today, the risks for the hostages – for any of us – have never been zero.”

Was she the only one who knew this? How could anyone think this was acceptable?

“Gabrielle is not old enough to have consented,” argued Fleur. “It’s also clear my parents were not told the full extent of her requested involvement because they certainly would not have given their permission either. And why her, for that matter? The other champions had friends, a couple of Yule Ball companions – Gabrielle is my blood! The only one brought in from outside the school.”

It wasn’t fair. Granted, the other champions had undoubtedly been unnerved at the thought of their friends under threat, each of them having to cope with that turmoil as they braved the task. But what was taken from her had been her family. If her dalliance with Hermione Granger were known and she’d been selected instead, Fleur was certain she would’ve been less rattled by it. While the girl’s participation as Krum’s hostage still filled the young Veela with an odd mix of fear, concern, and jealousy, Hermione was fifteen and a capable witch, and Fleur would’ve been on more equal footing with the other champions in her search for her.

Now that she thought about it, another thing the hostages had in common was that neither of them was of age. It was absolutely barbaric that the age limit put on champions had not been a limit for their hostages as well. And Gabrielle wasn’t even in school yet. Her little sister… immobilized and tied down under that horrible lake. The thought sent a frightening chill down her spine.

“Whose idea was it to choose her? Was it yours?”

“Of course not,” replied Maxime in a placating tone. “The organizers and headmasters consulted together. I suggested your friends Odette and Paolo, even the boy you took to the Yule Ball since it was apparent that’s where they were leaning for Krum and Diggory. It was Mr. Crouch who’d sent a message through his subordinate to suggest your sister… hm… in hindsight, the note was curiously adamant about it.”

Her eyes narrowed. Fleur didn’t like Crouch. It hadn’t bothered her that he’d skipped the Yule Ball and the second task. But now she wanted him here so she could give him a piece of her mind.

“But regardless of Mr. Crouch’s motives,” continued Maxime pointedly, “you as a fully-grown witch and champion of Beauxbatons were expected to maintain your composure no matter who was chosen. You faced the same obstacles in the lake as the others.”

Fleur frowned and clenched her fists. Unsaid, yet loud and clear, were the criticisms at her performance against the grindylows, creatures a fourteen-year-old boy had bested, and she felt those criticisms as if they were lashings across her back.

Not wanting to let Maxime see how she’d been cut, she stormed out of the office. Only when she reached her bedroom did her face fall and her shoulders sag. Fleur opened the door and silently entered her room, collapsing onto a chair facing her still-sleeping sister.

The innocent girl who idolized her would never cast blame. Neither would Hermione. And later, Fleur would seek out the brunette and take comfort in her arms, but right now she wanted to wallow in the painful truth of her shortcomings.

The issues of fairness in the tournament didn’t matter. What mattered was her.

Her wits and skills. Her ability to overcome her emotions and accomplish her task.

Which she hadn’t.

In the end, when challenged with the belief that someone she loved was in danger… Fleur Delacour had failed.

And she would never forgive herself for it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note: I didn’t originally plan to contribute to this fest but then yesterday I had an idea of how this conversation between Fleur and Maxime could’ve gone, taking inspiration from Tender and how I kept her canon tournament performance, and I typed this up.

Thanks for reading!

victoire weasley headcannons NOW pleaseee

YAS THE ONLY GIRL EVER!!!!

looks almost the exact same as her mum and has her mum’s personality (with a little bit of bill fused into her)

she has the oldest daughter mentality where she always needs to be StressedTM over something. even when she has nothing going on in life she will create an issue to be worried over. when she was younger this was hard for her to emotionally handle but she has gotten better at pretending she is sane over the years

this also led her to do med school. idk healer vic is something so personal for me. idk what exactly she’d be doing but i know it would be in the big buck areas. a dermatologist or a optometrist or a surgeon or something. she’s smart as hell.

very particular about presenting a good image for her family. she was the oldest weasley in the new generation and so she knew she had to present herself in a certain way, and she never thought she minded until she was suddenly 18 and having an identity crisis

furthermore, the rita skeeter incident with her and teddy nearly killed her. shes been through some traumatic shit but that was crossing the line

gets into so many fights with dominique because both of them are polar opposites and are jealous of each other for completely different reasons. dominique wishes she can fit into the mould like victoire so easily does, victoire wishes she could be as free and uncaring as dominique is. both don’t understand each other

HOWEVER victoire and dominique are the ultimate soulmates. it doesn’t matter how much they fight, they’re very close. dominique rants to her and sends her memes victoire can’t understand and victoire will still pay for dom’s meals when theyre out bcuz it doesn’t matter how old dominique is, she is still her little sister. and victoire retains every last piece of dom’s friendship group drama, and stalks them all on social media silently judging the shit out of them

no seriously victoire and dominique are The Siblings like the most important relationship in each others lives i could write essays on my hcs for their dynamic. ask me about headcanons for them specifically and i will go into LOTS of detail

anyways. victoire loves journalling in sparkly ink from wizard smiggle. is the type to write “heart diseases” in glittery pink aesthetic cursive.

she absolutely rocked the 2010s. probably had a minecraft streaming channel with teddy.

i have also made a huge amount of tedoire headcanons here so i will keep this post relatively free of them hehe

every song MARINA ever sings is about victoire tbh

she’s a ravenclaw to me, which made her a little insecure because everyone sort of assumed weasley = gryffindor, so she had to change her brand a little bit and establish herself as a delacour so people would lay off her. it helps that shes as insanely pretty as her mother

sucks ass at quidditch but no one will ever know because she graciously avoided flying at all costs (she can do enough to pass the compulsory flying classes but that is IT)

loves legally blond the movie

cosplays as annabeth chase for every fucking halloween party because she literally only has one costume and refuses to buy more

bisexual but she didnt know until she started dating teddy and liked them just as much when they would metamorph into a girl. then she started connecting all the dots… that one traumatising breakup with that friend who ditched her for their bf…. how all her fav songs are wlw songs… why she likes gina gershon from bound so much…

dressed like gwen stacy in the amazing spiderman movies. long socks. polished black high heels with straps. brown woollen vests and cream coloured shirts with frills. pink lip gloss. ALWAYS in headband season. very fem academia.

very outwardly polite and nice to other people but always retains a sense of distance. she wants to be close to people but she doesn’t know how to build those connections— she’s very scared of being hurt or betrayed so she sticks with people she’s already known before her walls went up.

used to be a little dictator when her, dom, and louis played games around shell cottage. she would make all the rules and be very strict about following it all. dom and louis were useless at games without her, because they couldnt make rules where there were stakes and it wasn’t fun without them. yknow, older sibling shenanigans.

pretended to be supportive but cried for three hours silently in her dorm when both dom and louis and ALL OF HER COUSINS were sorted into NOT ravenclaw

always mained princess peach in mario bros games and would get genuinely pissed when someone took her instead

reads booktok books… sorry… shes a STEM girlie…

secretly has a big appetite towards meat.. definitely not inherited from her dad… definitely not haha (she went vegetarian for nine months to try and stop herself and it literally almost killed her she was hangry all the time)

can speak french fluently and better than her siblings can

has like five beauxbatons penpals excluding the maternal cousins

this isn’t even all of them but i will leave her here for now. i LOVE VICTOIRE so so so much dawg..

Unlikely Affection Chapter 11: The Black Lake and Making Up.

Authors Note: The news of Sir Michael Gambon's passing has made it a little difficult to write this past week. I am so grateful that I grew up watching his amazing talent. Not just in HP but Sleepy Hollow, The King's Speech and Churchill's Secret just to name a few. The world became a bit darker on September 27th and I raise my wand to our Professor Dumbledore.

The day of the second task had come and Edwin and I stood on the middle of the three large viewing platforms that were placed in the Black Lake. Harry, Fleur, Cedric and Viktor had already jumped into the lake in search of ‘treasures’ Dumbledore said were taken from them and they had an hour to retrieve them. 

“Come on, let's go up top so we can see better.” Edwin nudged me towards the staircases leading up to the top viewing deck. Once we had made it to the top we walked over to the railing and looked over. It was ridiculously high but the view of the lake and the castle were incredible. 

I leaned over a little further to point something out to Edwin and I heard a deep baritone behind me. 

“Careful Astrill, we would not want another accident on our hands…Would we?” I turned quickly and looked at Severus, he eyed Edwin and I for a moment before I grabbed Edwins arm pushing him towards the other side of the platform. 

“Oye, we have a good view.” Edwin protested as I pushed him past Severus who stood still, waiting for me to say something as a rebuttal but I refused. 

Once Edwin and I were settled on the other side of the viewing deck as Severus he looked at me and sighed. “Are you going to stay cross with him, or are you going to apologize and move on?” I glared at my best friend who just shrugged his shoulders. 

“I refuse to apologize until he realizes that he can’t treat me as a student sometimes and as something else other times.” I whispered, cutting my eyes at him. 

Edwin didn't have the chance to respond and the champions and their ‘treasures’ began to surface one by one minus Fleur who had to forfeit. Cedric and Cho appeared first followed closely behind by Viktor and Hermione. 

“Where is Harry?” I asked, a bit panicked at the fact that my friend hasn't surfaced yet. 

“Maybe the giant squid got him.” Edwin jokes and I smacked his shoulder 

“Don’t even joke like that!” I glared at him

“Come on, let's go down and keep an eye out.” He points towards the ladder and we make our way back down to the lowest deck. 

Next to surface was Gabrielle Delacour and Ron, Harry was still nowhere in sight and everyone was beginning to panic. Just as everyone began to scurry around, looking into the dark water, Harry flew onto the wooden platform coughing and spitting up water. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around the shivering boy while Seamus Finnigan called out for someone to get him another towel. 

When everything calmed down slightly, Dumbledore and the rest of the judges awarded Harry second place for his moral fiber, considering he rescued Ron and Fleur’s sister. Everyone cheered and began making their way to the boats to head back to the castle for dinner. 

***Later That Evening***

I sat in the common room with Edwin, who was writing a paper for DADA that he had waited until the last  minute to complete. The room was noisy as people talked about the second task and listened to music while they did homework or studied for classes Monday. 

The noise in the room died down completely when Professor McGonagall walked into the room and eyed me. “Miss Astrill, you are needed in Professor Dumbledore’s office.” I looked at Edwin who just shrugged and followed McGonagall out of the portrait hole and towards Dumbledore’s office. 

I walked up the staircase and to Dumbledore’s office. Standing in the doorway was my grandfather, looking shaken, the minister for magic, Dumbledore and Mad Eye. When my grandfather saw me he rushed over and held my face in his hands. “My girl, I am so happy you are safe.” He hugged me tightly to his chest. 

“What happened? Why are you here?” I asked, just as Harry knocked on the door and my grandfather gestured for me to walk out of the office, I complied and he followed me. 

“Granddad, what is going on?” I asked once we were down the stairs leading to Dumbledore’s office. 

“Barty Crouch was killed Aurora. On Hogwarts grounds.” My jaw dropped and I shook my head. 

“How would that even be possible?” I asked and he shook his head. 

“That is something we are investigating.” His tone hushed as Dumbledore, Mad Eye and the Minister walked down the stairs and past us. 

“Aurora, you need to remain vigilant. There are people in these halls for this competition that are not safe or friendly.” He whispered, his large hand cupped my face protectively. “I will be at the final task, along with some of the aurors to make sure everyone is safe.” I nodded and he pulled me to the side a little more when Dumbledore walked back up to his office, alone this time. 

“You are the only family I have Jellybean.” I knew when he used my childhood nickname he was seriously worried. As I have gotten older, he really only used the nickname if he was delivering bad news, which in this case he kind of was. “I need you to promise me that you will be safe.” 

“I promise Grandad, but I need to know if you are alright, I know you and Mr.Crouch were friends.” He pulled me into a hug and his red beard tickled my face. “Don’t you worry about me, we will bring whoever did this to justice. I swear to it.” He kissed my forehead. 

Harry had walked down the stairs as I was telling my grandfather goodbye and he stopped him in his tracks. 

“Mr. Potter, would you accompany my granddaughter back to the common room?” 

Harry nodded “Yes sir.” 

Harry and I walked in relative silence, both too stunned to speak after what we had just been told or in Harry’s case seen. He did inform me that he was the one that had found Mr. Crouch’s body in the Forbidden Forest while on a walk with Ron, Hermione and Hagrid. 

As we walked through the hall of tapestries we heard shouting coming from behind a closed door. Harry and I both slowed down when we reached the door and I stopped in our tracks when it slammed open. We stood in awe as Igor Karkaroff brandished his left arm revealing a squirming dark mark to an unphased Severus who just stood by the open door. Igor cut his eyes and the both of us and he hastened down the hallway. 

“Harry, come on.” I muttered, trying to avoid getting stopped by Severus. 

I pulled on his sleeve but we were too late, “Potter…Astrill…What is your hurry?” He asked and I turned around, holding fast to Harry’s sleeve. 

“We were just going to the common room, Professor.” I spoke curtly and Severus raised an eyebrow. 

“I assure you, a chaperone is not needed for you to make your way to Gryffindor Tower. Potter, you will stay…Astrill you are free to go.” I clenched my teeth and let go of Harry’s sleeve. 

“Certainly Professor…Goodnight.” I looked at Harry, “I’ll see you in the common room.” I sent him an apologetic smile before turning and making my way to Gryffindor Tower, not sparing a second glance at Severus. 

I arrived back at the common room and decided to wait for Harry, after a short while he came through the portrait hole. 

“What did he want?” I asked, walking past the sofa I was sitting on. 

“He thinks I stole from his private storage, and threatened to put truth telling potion in my pumpkin juice. He despises me so I really shouldn't be shocked that he thinks it's me.” He glanced over his shoulder and shrugged before walking up the stairs and to the dorms. 

I was furious, not only did he threaten Harry but he accused him of stealing with no evidence. Someone needed to put that grumpy dungeon bat in his place and I decided it was going to be me. 

I made my way swiftly to his office, trying my best to avoid Filch or any teachers that would be out prowling for students out of bed past curfew. When I arrived at the large wooden door that I had become so accustomed to these last few weeks, it swung open on its own to reveal Severus leaning against his desk with his arms crossed over his chest. 

“I assume this means you were expecting me to make an appearance.” I huffed, walking into the dimly lit office and closing the door behind me. 

“I had the thought.” He offered me one of the glasses of wine that was situated on his desk waiting for my arrival. 

I accepted the glass and thanked him before taking a seat in the chair in front of him. “Why did you threaten Harry?” I asked, taking a sip of the bittersweet dark red liquid. 

“That is not your concern, Little Star.” He took a sip from his own glass. 

“Threatening him with veritaserum is a bit of an overkill Severus.” He looked amused as I spoke and it irritated me more. 

“Why were you with Mr. Potter this evening?” He asked, tapping the side of his glass gently. 

“I was summoned to the headmasters office, he was there as well and my grandfather asked him to walk me back to the common room so I wouldn't be alone with ‘unsafe and unfriendly’ people roaming the halls…as my grandfather put it.” I explained and he raised an eyebrow 

“Unsafe and unfriendly? Who would he be referring to?” 

I huffed and stared down at my glass, swishing the liquid. “I would assume he is meaning Karkaroff, he seems to be unfriendly a fair amount of the time.” I took a sip. “And apparently he likes brandishing his dark mark.” 

“Perhaps we need to speak about recent events…between us.” He spoke tightly and my heart hammered in my chest. Did this mean he didn’t want to continue our…whatever this is. I will admit, I was very angry with him for how he acted about Edwin knowing and I was definitely giving him the cold shoulder, but that did not by any stretch mean that I was angry enough to end our arrangement. 

I took a nervous sip of wine and nodded, gesturing to him to continue. 

“I understand your relationship with Mr. Finley is unorthodox and you share a great deal between you. I also understand that not informing him of your whereabouts would raise more suspicion and he would have…eventually… worked it out.” I just stared at him as he spoke. “However, I have a great deal to lose in this situation which makes me a bit uneasy when it comes to how much and who knows.” 

“I get your concern, but Edwin made a double pinky…He won't say anything to anyone.” 

“A what?” Severus looked quite puzzled and I laughed. 

“It's like an unbreakable vow…but no magic or death is required. We have done it since we were kids and neither one of us has ever broken it.” I explained and Severus shook his head. 

“If you have put your trust in him then I have no reason to not trust in you…” I stood up and placed my wine glass to the side before wrapping my arms around him. 

“Thank you for trusting me.” I sighed into his chest, inhaling his spicy scent. He wrapped his arms around me and placed a gentle kiss on the top of my head. 

“Just to make you aware…If Finley so much as thinks that he will break this vow of yours, he will have more than veritaserum to worry about.” I chuckled into his chest and pulled away from the hug. 

“What is it about threatening children that gets you going?” I laughed and he pinched my rear. 

“Silly girl…I am not a perpetuator of loose threats…now, I want you in my chambers stripped of your clothing before I count to twenty or you will see just how ruthless I can be.” I pulled away from him quickly and ran into his chambers, throwing clothing off of my body while his low voice counted from his office. 

But unbeknownst to me, this would be the last carefree night for a while.

I’ve never written fanfic before but I’m so beyond inspired. I can’t get the story or the characters out of my head. I dream about them. I’m constantly thinking of scenes and writing notes in my phone. I’m already making fan-art which feels a bit psychotic 🤪

I’m writing a fic about Gabrielle Delacour inspired by the flashbacks in “Manacled” by SenLinYu. It’s has a three act story arc, enemies to lovers, and a narrative based on cannon (both HP and Manacled). The love interest is also based on cannon but was such a minor character that they practically needed to be written out of thin air. My ancestry.com-loving-ass made an entire family tree based on the Wikis. Which, might I say, the writers of fandom Wiki pages deserve only the freshest beverages and coldest pillows. My outline is complete and I’m working on fleshing out the first act. Once I have a few chapters written, I’ll be posting on AO3 under Pity_the__Living. No ETA at the moment and no expectations for readers. I’m having enough fun just writing.

On a personal note, I thought my creativity had dried up a long time ago. The feeling of inspiration and actually wanting to create has brought me so much joy. I wish that I had discovered fan fiction earlier in life. The fanfic communities and talented writers and artists are beyond amazing.

Enjoy this little snippet of art of the tragically beautiful Gabrielle. Crated by me in Procreate.
