#justin’s mum had already bought the eton uniform but happily it doubled up with the hogwarts get-up

Ok, so, i'm very intrigued to know what you think: 2, 37 and 49 for Justin Finch-Fletchley (i had to google his name, didn't know how to write it lol, English is soo weird😅)

english is weird and the english posh are weirder still! justin finch-fletchley, double-barrelled icon — let’s be having you 🎩

2. A canon or headcanon hill I will die on

justin is descended from aristocrats — the earls of aylesford, in fact, who were granted a peerage in the 17th century, and whose titles run in the finch family to this day. the men in his family have been attending eton for generations. his mother was terribly worried about him when he was petrified in the 1992-92 academic year, but his father assured her he had gotten into much worse scrapes in his own school days, including being trampled during a shoot on a friend’s estate and having to be revived by a stiff lick on the face by the family beagle

37. What do they actually think of themselves

i think justin knew he wasn’t ambitious or political or sporty or clever enough to thrive at eton, and loved being a muggleborn wizard until the outbreak of war because it meant his parents couldn’t have too many expectations of him. (his mother was horrified to learn that wizards have no oxford equivalent, demanding “but where on earth do wizards source their ministers, then?”)

49. Favourite toy as a child

a to-scale replica of the family seat, packington hall in warwickshire, complete with walled garden and japanese-inspired ornamental bridge designed by none other than singularly celebrated english landscape architect capability brown himself:

dean thomas once asked justin what football team he supported and was disgusted when justin replied that he was ‘really more of a polo man’

thank you @finitajarjarana!
