Patience and Parolees - Mykonos19 - M, 38 chapters, Words: 104,779 - Five years after the war, the children of Death Eaters are up for parole. They must be sponsored by another witch or wizard to spend a year on parole, or spend another five years in Azkaban - the only catch is that they have to live with their sponsor. Harry Potter offers to sponsor Draco Malfoy. Hermione Granger sponsors Pansy Parkinson. Ronald Weasley sponsors Blaise Zabini. Neville Longbottom sponsors Theodore Nott. Ginny Weasley sponsors Daphne Greengrass. Luna Lovegood sponsors Astoria Greengrass. Fred and George Weasley sponsor Gregory Goyle; What could go wrong? Or right?

“No” Barty whines as you disentangle your limbs from his. As you leave the warmth of the blankets laid over his bed, you’re met with a breeze that has you shiver slightly.

Barty tugs at your arm as you swing your legs over the bed and lean to grasp your wand, “Come back to bed” he mumbles as he tries to pull you back under his green bedsheets.

It’s earlier than you would normally wake up, around 4AM you’d assume, given the dark sky you can see from the window to the left of Barty’s bed.

Barty and yourself both knew that the consequence of spending the night in his dorm meant that you’d have to sneak out the following morning before anyone else woke up.

It was one of the worst parts of keeping your relationship a secret. Barty hated sneaking around, not being able to tell anyone how much he adored you or having to reign in his possessive and jealous nature.

He had to grit his teeth and stand by as some brave – or rather stupid – Gryffindors tried their luck with you in hopes of asking you to Hogsmeade. Barty however found relief in being able to hex them in the corridors which was expected from students in Slytherin.

“You know I can’t stay” You whisper into the quiet of the room and Barty only gives a grumbled response, his dark hair framed across his pillow as he blinks open his eyes to pout at you.

“I’ll hex anyone that says anything, just come back to bed” he says again and although you roll your eyes, you can’t help the little flutter within your heart at the sentiment.

“You also know it’s not about the Hogwarts student body” you say pointedly as you reach for an old long sleeve quidditch jersey of Barty’s  to lay over your pyjamas to shield you from the cold.

Barty’s irritated groan is louder than it needs to be for this early in the morning, though you can’t help the small laugh that leaves you as he throws what can only be described as a small tantrum.

“I’m going to kill my father one day” Barty swears, and you snort before gathering the rest of your clothes, kissing Barty sweetly before hurriedly making your way to your own common room.

Interhouse relationships within Hogwarts weren’t necessarily looked down upon, It often fostered unity within the Hogwarts community and was sometimes even encouraged.

Although, with that knowledge also came the understanding of house rivalries. Gryffindor and Slytherin’s house rivalry was one of the most well known rivalries within the school.

Tensions only grew  higher as house loyalties filtered into external loyalties, as pureblood Slytherin students’  families affiliated themselves with Voldemort and the dark arts and as Gryffindor families chose to walk the line of the light.

Therefore, it was only reasonable to assume that your relationship with Barty, if public knowledge, would cause somewhat of a hysteria among students.

Not only that, considering that Barty Crouch Sr. was known to be intolerant politically of any support of Voldemort and his little cult, he was also equally intolerable of his own son.

One was more publicly known than the other however Barty knew full well, should news of his relationship with you reach the media, Barty would soon be associated with Voldemort and his fathers campaign would be in jeopardy.

So, therefore. A secret relationship between a Gryffindor and a Slytherin bloomed under moonlit skies and abandoned corridor kisses.

As you reached your common room, you made quick work of sneaking into your dorm as the rest of your roommates laid sleeping. Under the covers you close your eyes to allow yourself a couple hours of more sleep.

The following morning, as you sit at the Gryffindor table, slowly eating your breakfast as you try to rub the sleep out of your eyes, you can hear the loud chatter of the marauders to your left and Marlene’s grumbling to your right.

Your seat allows you to view the Slytherin table and you can make out the figures of Barty, Evan and Regulus all sitting huddled together. Barty meets your eyes over the tables and gives you a slight wink which has your cheeks warming.

You look down and continue to eat your breakfast as you converse with Lily about your classes for the day.

You’re disrupted by the sound of glasses shattering and gasps, a small wail cuts through the air and before you know it, you’re on your feet looking frantically at the Slytherin table.

Barty has his hands on Mulciber’s robes, his gaze angry and his form trembling. You can see Evan trying to talk him down and Regulus watching curiously. Barty seems to be yelling and you bring yourself out of your shocked daze to hear his voice.

“-SAY THAT AGAIN ABOUT HER, I DARE YOU!, I’LL CURSE YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING BLOODLINE, YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING TWAT!” Barty yells and gasps filter around the dining hall as Barty shakes Mulciber mercilessly.

Mulciber smirks menacingly before whispering something to Barty that has his nostrils flaring, he pulls back one of his arms to punch the living daylights out of the other Slytherin, however before he can he’s met with a curse from Avery that has his flying back into a wall.

Your heart stops as Barty’s head thuds against the wall, his form laying limp against the concrete. Your eyesight blurs at your tears but you can see the figures of Evan and Regulus standing up, wands at the ready as they throw spell after spell at Mulciber and Avery.

You hear commotion as Sirius and James both call out worried as a stray spell hits Regulus which has him down for a count before he stands up again, his gaze cold and unflinching.

You’re moving before you know it, running across the dining hall, away from Lily’s worried “Y/N don’t!-”, as you watch as Snape’s disgusted expression looks at Barty’s still slumped over figure.

Barty has a trail of blood running down his forehead, he stirs a bit as he looks up to be met with the end of Snape’s wand.

Snape stares at him boredly before he starts, “Sectum-”

“Don’t you fucking touch him” you hiss as you grasp your wand, hissing out a powerful ‘Expelliarmus’ that has Snape being thrown back towards Mulciber and Avery.

They both look at Snape in shock before they turn to your blazing form, your eyes manic as you stand protectively in front of Barty. Evan and Regulus both walk to stand at your sides as the three of you look towards Mulciber and Avery.

“Walk away Mulciber” you say coldly as the Slytherin’s eyes light up before he smirks lazily, “And the little bitch returns to her owner” Avery drawls.

Before you can reply, a strong stinging hex hits Avery that has him cursing as tears rise in his eyes.

“Watch your mouth Avery.” Evan says with his wand being held out in front of him. You look at him in shock and he only shrugs and gives you a small smirk, “You’re one of us.”

You nod softly, you catch the glimpse of a red light heading your way before Regulus moves in front of you to defend you. You hear James and Sirius cursing him out as they also run towards you three as Peter and Remus are instructed to call a professor.

“It’s ill etiquette to curse someone behind their back Mulciber, did your whore of a mother teach you nothing?” Regulus hisses as he hexes Mulciber with a body-binding spell.

Barty’s groaning distracts you from everything as he opens his eyes, confused as he looks around to see you, Evan and Regulus duelling Avery, Mulciber and what looks like Snape’s hunched over form.

“What?” he asks confused as he lifts his hand to touch the top of his head where his wound lies.

You quickly look at Barty’s form before throwing another body bind to Avery as you stomp towards their limp forms.

The first punch has Mulciber howling in pain as blood gushes from his nose, “You come anywhere near my boyfriend again, I will kill you.” You say, gaze unflinching.

Avery struggles under the spell before you kick him in his ribs, “Stop fucking squirming. It’s good to know when one has been bested, yes?” you say with a cold smile as you meet both of their angry yet scared gazes.

“If I see either of you near him again, I will hold true to my promise” you hiss, turning around to the amused yet proud looks of Evan and Regulus who have Barty between them, his form slighting leaning on Evan’s taller figure.

You walk a couple steps before you lift your leg to stomp it down into the middle of Mulciber’s legs which has Evan, Regulus and Barty wincing.

You nod and smile at the pained groan before walking swiftly to Barty, “You okay Bee?” you whisper softly as you look worriedly into his eyes before lifting your hand to lift his hair to get a better look at his wound.

You hiss at the blood before looking at Barty with worry, “We need to get you to the infirmary-”

“You’re so fucking hot” Barty says with a wicked smile.

You splutter and Evan groans to your left, “What the fuck is wrong with you?” Regulus says disgusted from your right.

He’s distracted by  Sirius and James sprinting towards him with worry in their eyes. You drown out the sound of what sounds like Regulus being looked over and cursed for being idiotic for just blindly jumping into a fight.

Barty just smirks and looks at you, “Cat’s out of the bag then?” he asks with a hopeful look. You’re confused for a second before you bite your bottom lip with a small shrug, embarrassed.

“Yeah, sorry” you mumble before Barty tsks and pulls you into him, kissing you deeply. “You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to do this” he says against your lips.

You only smile and kiss him back

I've been so freaking obsessed with Evan Rosier/Percy Weasley time travel fic.

Starts out as a Voldemort wins AU and Percy time travels to the past, ends up about 16/17 and back in Hogwarts, sorted into Slytherin, he doesn't know shit about Voldemort or how to prevent the war, so he does the only logical thing he can. Becomes a better alternative to Voldemort. Yup, straight up Percy Weasley cult, yes I'm doing that :P

It takes a while, but most of the other students are more or less on board, except Evan Rosier. He's hanging around because his friends are all enamoured, but he's suspicious, he doesn't trust Percy. Percy thinks he's hot c: Evans emotionally constipated self thinks Percy is hot too :p but very sus and he doesn't trust easy

So basically Percy has to change the future by forcing the Hogwarts population into therapy, becoming a sort of accidental cult leader, joining the pta and uniting with parents in ways that change actually happens even if they don't like some things he says, changing some of the dumb things the teachers do, changing the gryffindor bias, promoting interhouse unity and all that fun stuff :D

Yk like litte things that change everything

His and Evans dynamic is kinda like

Evan: *shaking the front of Percy's robes* I don't know who the fuck you are, or what you're playing at but I'm going easy on you because my friends like you. But you so much as stub their toe, you are dead, do you hear me?

Percy: That's nice, mind the robes will you? They're new. Unlike some people I can't afford buying new ones for every idiot who randomly decides to assault me.

Evan: You kissed Mulciber?

Percy: What of it

Evan: No- I just- Mulciber? He's probably got some- I don't know, infectious disease!

Percy: If I didn't know better I'd think you wanted to kiss me.

Evan: *spluttering*

Evan: Why were you hanging around with Snape

Percy: *flipping page of his book* We were discussing the importance of media literacy in charged political climates

Evan: *darkly* Of course you were.

Percy: Is there a problem?

Barty: *popping up out of nowhere with a suggestive eyebrow wiggle at Evan* Yeah, why are you bothering him Evan, it's like your obsessed :)

Evan: I am not obsessed! I just- I- I just think maybe his lordship shouldn't leave everyone out of interesting discussions!

Barty: Seriously.

Percy: Actually, that's a good point Rosier. Thank you for pointing that out. How about tomorrow we properly launch debate club! I'll go ask professor Slughorn, Rosier will you assist me?

Evan: *dying inside* Whatever. I don't have anything else that I'm doing so like- yeah

Evan doesn't know why the fuck Percy is crying but he gets it. He gets what it's like and he doesn't trust him, can't trust him, can't make that shrivelled little thing inside him reach out and accept someone new, but he can understand. And he holds him. And Percy cries into his jumper until he's asleep and then Evan tells himself he should go, he shouldn't be here, it feels so wrong to see this boy so vulnerable and trusting but he stays and in the morning they don't talk about it. In the morning Avery fawns a little as he pours milk in Percy's cereal and he sneers just the same as usual, a hufflepuff asks for Percy's thoughts on rock music and he scoffs and rolls his eyes the same as usual but he finds himself checking if Percy actually eats the food they give him, seeing the dark circles under the redheads eyes, seeing the smudged and filled up schedule he keeps worrying over

ASDFGHJKL I CAN'T GET OVER THEM PLS

oh sounds neat

ngl I don't really know anything about Evan because I'm not a Marauder girlie like at all

Death Eaters are honestly my least favorite people to pair with Percy personally and there's not many that I do actively like

so i don't tend to pay them much attention unless i find them interesting for some other reason

because as anyone who's been here long enough can probably tell i have a hard time caring about characters unless i can tie them back to Percy in some way or another

but regardless yeah Percy and Time travel are two of my favorite fic genres so i could see the appeal

Percy trying to start a cult himself is very funny though

like at this point he just doesn't know what else to try so he's just kind of like fuck it i guess ill try this

it is neat because Evan's the only one seemingly suspicious and in a way his suspicions are right like Percy is 100% up to something its just that the something isn't actually a bad thing really

Also your writing him so jealous thats always fun

[messrsrarchives]

okay mr mcd, if you had to choose one major character to die who would it be?

ask game

RAHHH yes. okay i love that sirius dies actually i think that's pretty major and can i be absolutely wild here and say minnie??? can i say minnie? is that blasphemous?

just IMAGINE THE DEPTHHHH omg. imagine ootp type era where harry starts distrusting dumbledore, where he starts feeling as though he's not cared for and boom, somehow minnie dies. maybe when the DE storm the castle.

imagine the DEPTHHHH. harry can't get biscuits anymore. minnie isn't there to put umbridge in her place, minnie isn't there to be a comforting force in hogwarts, what happens then? with all that distrust and the one teacher that truly truly trulyyyy has your back is gone?

i'm picturing one of those drarry fics where harry forms his own side to the war and i'm picturing snupin when snape loses his friend (i love the minnie x snape friendship im sorry) and i'm picturing interhouse unity because whether gryf or slyth, it's MINNIE.

i'm picturing so much. i think these questions are meant to be series based not fanfic based but whatever! i am picturing so much.

TWST HP AU 🪞⚡️ !!

AcexYuuxMalleus

Yuu will be depicted as female in this with she/her pronouns

I’ve been thinking of an AU of this for a while now due to the similarities between each story (magical school of wizards with respective houses of each powerful mage), however as I think more there are even more character similarities some, depending on how you view Yuu

🪞⚡️🪞⚡️🪞⚡️🪞⚡️🪞⚡️🪞⚡️🪞

Golden Trio ⭐️- obviously Ace, Deuce, and Yuu, my favorite trio

Deuce ♠️ - Harry Potter. I can’t connect many similarities between them, but at the same time I can. They’re both boys who love their parents and just try to do the best in what they can, especially since both have been given a second chance to succeed in this magical world. Now, Deuce isn’t perfect but he is trying and is not overtly prone to breaking the rules. He’s sweet, innocent, while still having bite to his bark. A bit clueless at times but with good intentions.

Ace ❤️- Ok now this asshole is perfect for Ron (I’m joking). But honestly his more outlandish personality does have some comparison towards Ron’s sarcastic personality. He’s more on the laid back side whilst still being a valuable friend. (Also they’re both ginger lmao) Plus his relationship with Yuu is more on the chill play fighting side, anyways…

Yuu 🦐 - Hermione, this one can be taken lightly depending on how your version of Yuu is but one thing is for sure: they always get Ace and Deuce out of overblot situations and manage to use some sort of semblance of a brain to figure shit out. However, in my AU let’s say that Yuu too is trying to make a life for themselves by working hard and doing the most they can of their schoolwork. Yuu also being the glue that holds these two idiots together. And honestly her whole schtick as the school therapist now makes sense

Grim 🐱 - Crookshanks. Nothing more to say, just Yuu’s stupid cat (with love)

Also the whole racist thing with Hermione and Yuu could have a connection, since Yuu basically has no magical abilities, yet are able to attend this magical school and work their way up. And because of this, there may be students opposed to Yuu’s magiclessness (mudblood—)

Extra:

Malleus 🐉- Victor Krum, this is slightly stretching it a bit but I can see these two sharing similarities. Malleus and Krum are both exemplary at their respective wizarding sport (Spelldrive, and Quidditch) and are known to be prodigies of it. They don’t have many friends due to being viewed as Gods, Celebrities, etc. in some way and therefore are quite lonely. Attracted to this specific person for not fawning over them and for seeing who they really are, and are able to appreciate their brains for what it’s worth 💚💚

Extra extra:

I totally see the Yule ball sequence happening in the TWST HP au because of these specific lines

❤️: Hoy, Yuu, you’re a girl arent you

🦐: Oh, well spotted

❤️: How about uh you and me go, since we don’t have dates as it is. Don’t wanna show up by ourselves right

🦐: for your information I already have a date *shuts book and walks away*

❤️: What’s got her wand in a knot

♠️: *clueless, spacing out* huh

And malleus totally showing up as yuus secret date AAAA—

🦐: Would you care to join Malleus and I?

❤️: Care to? You’re fraternizing with the enemy

🦐 *irritated*: The point of interhouse games is unity and—

❤️: *rolling eyes* So what

🦐*understanding the situation*: You’ve been rotten the whole evening. Next time there’s a ball, pluck up the courage to ask me before someone else does, and not as a last resort

❤️: Women are scary

🦐: ACE, you’ve spoiled everything.

*cue weeping on the steps*

♠️: 🧍

And in likeliness, Yuu could end up with Malleus, and become the next Queen of Thorn Valley…but it could also take to the more erm in-canon Harry Potter ending cough (do you see where I’m going with this)

“Emotional range of a teaspoon x Nerdy Bookworm “

I love this AU, I could honestly go in so many directions with this AU

☔ Summary: 

It is impossible for Draco to deny the inherent festivity that Christmas brings. From Yuletide carols to fairylights, evergreens festooned with baubles in a rainbow of colors to pub nights with friends wrapped in their warmest coats. There is a level of hope that the season always seems to bring, even when life is at it's darkest. All around him are the things making the spirit of the season. People are happy.  At least, that's what he assumes. At this point, he doesn't know. For him, the holidays have not always proved to be a merry season.  What Draco does know, without any doubt, is there is one thing Christmas always needs to feel like the holiday has truly arrived. And that one thing is snow. Although, over time, he realises there is one other thing that he has begun to associate with Christmas, something he needs for the holiday to feel real. Harry Potter.

I just had this really stupid scenario for a PatB spoof of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone where Brain goes after the titular stone so he can devalue the wizarding world's currency by creating lots of gold, inflate the price of gold to ridiculous levels, and bring the entire economy to a standstill so he can take over the wizarding world.

Because he and Pinky are mice kept for Transfiguration practice and Brain is tired of being turned into an actual teapot (and if Pinky sings I'm a Little Teapot one more time he's gonna feed him to the giant squid). Seriously, the wizards are not kind to animals here.

But in order to accomplish this, he and Pinky must become professors at Hogwarts. Brain is the professor and Pinky is the teacher's aide here, and their excuse for being talking mice is that they had an accident with magic. Everyone just accepts this.

The mice's curriculum isn't really spectacular compared to the other professors. While Brain tries to have lesson plans, Pinky tends to derail them into other fun fun silly willy topics, but between the pair of them, the class is surprisingly engaging and the students never know what they'll learn next. The subjects tend to be a hodgepodge of what you'll find in a normal school. Brain actually finds it appalling that the kids are 11 years old and they don't know basic history or science. The mice even perform Brainstem for the students when teaching anatomy.

Other things:

Pinky hates Scabbers with a passion. Brain is under the impression that it's because Scabbers is a rat, but Pinky thinks there's something up with him.

Brain doesn't allow cats and owls in his classroom for obvious reasons.

Brain gets very into Quidditch and is into calculations and fantasy teams and all that. Pinky doesn't understand the sport at all but he enjoys the excitement.

Pinky loves Divination. Brain thinks it's a load of crap.

Brain doesn't give House Points to any of the four houses. But he will dish out points for Pinky. And he does it A LOT. At the end of the year, it's revealed that Brain has given Pinky so many points that he edges out Gryffindor for the win, much to everyone's shock. Dumbledore is like 'um, ten points for Gryffindor for...being in matching uniforms!' and the professors tell him to stop showing favoritism, because it's already too late.

Pinky wins the House Cup, treats it like he's won an Oscar, and all the angry students chase them out of Hogwarts because they've been cheated out of the House Cup and Dumbledore is like 'see, I told you those two would promote interhouse unity! You owe me a hundred lemon drops, Minerva!'

In the Snake Pit | A Dramione fic - evilqueen01232 - M, WIP - The Light has won the war. Headmistress Minerva McGonagall has made it compulsory for all those who missed their 7th year to retake their final year, but she no longer believes the original house allegiances stand. All 8th years are set to be re-sorted into new houses as part of the efforts to recuperate after the war. What happens when two-thirds of the Golden trio find themselves in the House of Cunning and Ambition, and the other finds himself tainted with a force far beyond his control? What happens when Hermione makes a startling discovery about her heritage and finds herself grappling with the implications and Magic it comes with? What happens when the Brightest Witch of her age is forced to change her priorities, find family where she never expected to, and comfort in the arms of the boy who had no choice? The answers all lie in the Snake Pit. A story about ancient magic, a corrupted soul that conjures Nightmares and a not-so-dead Headmaster. A story about forgiveness, finding yourself, and of course, saving the world. But most importantly, a story about a boy and a girl that were tested at every turn, but fell in love despite the odds.

Don’t mind if I keep your tie (And your heart, babe) by Ingi Pairing: Harry/Draco Rating: G Word Count: 21k The Eighth year common room has a parrot in it, courtesy of McGonagall and her mad search for interhouse bonding.

Ouroboros CH16 Preview :)

It was a packed room and though a party like this was held with the excuse of interhouse unity, there was a clear corner where the snakes had nested, and they were speaking loudly enough to be overheard quite easily. For all the jokes, James was surrounded, and it was clear the Slytherins in the vicinity were hungry for some good entertainment.

He was attempting to subtly prod Regulus to say something, ease his way into what was a volatile situation at best. Their little audience, otherwise known as Regulus' friends, seemed to be relishing in the stretching silence. Likely wondering how James' presence would be excused as; friend or foe?

“It’s advantageous to know people like Potter,” Regulus cut in suddenly, voice clipped to the point that James cringed. He trailed off like there was supposed to be something else said to vouch for his friend, but after a beat, there were no more carefully articulated words to be added. Regulus huffed out a sigh before once again checking out of the conversation. 

It wasn’t as if James was irked, but some support would be appreciated.

Though that obviously wasn’t coming any time soon, as Regulus had passed the period of a giggly buzz, skipped over the loud raucous laughter like his friends, and had landed on the train to being thoroughly wasted.

James attempted to continue the conversation, because he wasn’t the type of coward to run away with his tail in between his legs now. He refused to think he couldn’t keep up with the two in front of him. At least Flint was being nice, James could tell the snark from before had cooled somewhat. Or maybe the other boy was humouring the attempt at niceties after Regulus short remark about James’ worth.

The year is 1999, and for the Christmas Ball (which theme is #InterHouseUnity), every students is requested to forget about their own house colours in favour of any of the remaining other three houses’ colours.

Please have this Draco in Gryffindor Red and a rather Slytherin Hermione crowned in snakes.

A/N: As you continue to watch me throw these ideas about, you will undoubtably get a very good sense of what my tropes are. I'm about to drop a twofer on you now.

With the interest of interhouse unity in mind Headmistress McGonagal and the rest of the teaching staff have put together an unique event for Harry's eighth year at Hogwarts. Masquarade balls have been scheduled one a month every month for the entire year for the returning 6th, 7th, and 8th years. Attendance to be mandatory. Formal attire is required, and the masks are provided by the staff and are charmed to glamour ones hair and voice to be unrecognizable to those around you. You are not allowed to say your name, or give away any details about yourself that could give away who you are to the people you talk to. The point, after all, is to get to know people outside the prejudices of the past.

From the very first Ball, Harry finds himself drawn to a lone figure not really mingling with the crowds and makes it a point to go over and say hi. He doesn't recognize the person, obviously, but as the two ease into a comfortable banter, Harry can't shake the idea that this person seems so familiar to him. Even if he's certain he has never talked with whoever they are like this before.

As the months move forward and the balls continue, despite the glamours on the mask changing each time, Harry finds himself able to seek out the company of this person again and again. Soon he manages to come to the realization the he just might be starting to fall for this person, and hard.

On the other hand, school is proving to be more aggrivating by the week and that is due in no small part to one Draco Malfoy who came back for his final year as part of his probation after the trials. Malfoy isnt actually doing anything, and that's really the problem, isnt it? He's always pegged Malfoy to be a coward, but he's never known the blond to be cowed by the animosity around him. All bark and no bite was always the norm, but now Malfoy doesn't even whimper. Harry never liked the stupid git before, but this new Malfoy Harry can definitely do without. He wants to see Malfoy fight back again. Just once. But he has no idea how to go about making it happen, and friends don't seem to want to be any help.
