HP Next Gen aesthetic (+ their parents) Part 4:

Draco Malfoy + Astoria Greengrass

Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy

Luna Lovegood + Rolf Scamander

Lysander Scamander

Lorcan Scamander

[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

your spark - lorcan scamander

·˚ ༘ while you have the brightest personality and are quite a little sunshine, you're definitely not the brightest bulb in the box. yet, you're still in ravenclaw. why? - nobody knows and seemingly everyone in your house thinks you don't belong. except for lorcan scamander, your tutor, who finds you crying after you overheard mean ravenclaw girls talk bad about you behind your back. he promises you: being smart isn't everything and that a little thing about you (that you don't even notice is part of you) is much more valuable.

·˚ ༘ fluff, ravenclaw!reader, fem!reader, insecurity, hurt & comfort, for my academically struggling girls (I see you!)

·˚ ༘ 1.8k words

ravenclaws were supposed to be smart, right? intellectual, wise, intelligent and stuff. real nerds with top grades and bright futures as some of the most renowned wizards in the world. well, apparently, that was not the path that had been cut out for you. you were a ravenclaw, yet you were anything but smart and your grades were definitely not outstanding. you struggled a lot, always needed extra help and for the professors to explain everything twice to you. the fact that being good at school didn't come naturally to you took a great toll on you and you always questioned whether the sorting hat might've made a mistake all those years ago. you never really felt like you belonged to ravenclaw and that you never really fit into the description of the typical smart and cunning blue-robed student. today was an especially tough day. you had messed up immensely in class, had broken one of the pots in herbology and snapped the little plant that was growing inside of it right in half. professor longbottom didn't deduct any points from your house, luckily he was just too kind for that, but you definitely saw that he was a bit emotional about the killed plant. you were so embarrassed and had felt so bad, you had apologized over and over to your herbology professor, all while your classmates just stood and laughed at you. and to only make it worse, you had overheard your fellow housemates talk bad about you. "she's so stupid, did you see what she did in herbology today? I swear to god, she only has two fucking brain cells left and both of them are occupied with fashion and makeup." "really, she doesn't deserve to be in ravenclaw. she's so dense, it's sickening." and that hadn't even been everything that they had said about you. they had called you a "bimbo" and a "stupid fucking people pleaser". now you were crying in your room. you had been, for the past 15 minutes actually. eventually, lorcan scamander, your tutor for practically everything that you could still be helped in, had found you in your dorm and had apparently decided he wanted to join in on your crying session. "what's wrong, lovey? why are you crying?", he asked and the evident worry and concern in his voice only made you cry more. he sat down on your bed, right next to your sobbing figure and gently pulled you into his arms, hugging you. "tell me, what happened?", he softly inquired. you shook your head, too embarrassed to share it with him. you knew lorcan didn't think you were stupid or that you weren't a real ravenclaw, he would never, he was too kind. but for some stupid reason you were still scared that he might change his mind and end up agreeing with the others, because as much as you wanted to perfectly fit into your house, you simply didn't. you didn't fit in. your sobs had now subsided to small hiccups and you were disentangling yourself from lorcan's hug. "lorcan, I'm fine, thanks for being concerned but it's really alright.." he frowned, not buying your bullshit. "you were crying, heavily may I add. you're not alright." you sighed, running your fingers through your hair. you could still feel his eyes on you, piercing into you to find a reason for your upset state.

lorcan had always been an analyser, quick to figure people out and quick to know whether they could be trusted or not. he was quiet and reserved and he only ever hung around his small, selected group of friends who he had basically known since he was born. all of them were extremely smart, skilled in academics and from a respected household. you were a bit intimidated by them, to be honest. it was a wonder lorcan even talked to you. not that you weren't nice, it was mostly just because he kept to himself and could be very closed off. you were pretty much an open book, wearing your heart on your sleeve and wanting to befriend everyone. you were kind, caring and sweet but you weren't exactly the smartest. even though you wore the blue and silver tie, your highest grades were only ever A's (acceptable) or P's (poor).

a few months ago, lorcan found you sobbing after getting back the test results from divination, where you had gotten a T (troll). he comforted you and offered to tutor you in that subject, which soon turned into him helping you in all of the subjects, seeing as your grades were not exactly good in any of them. you often told him he didn’t have to and that you didn't want to be a burden to him. school alone was already pretty exhausting and tutoring you on top was an extra weight he didn't need to pull. he told you to stop that nonsense and that he liked teaching you.

him tutoring you followed the two of you hanging out after school a bit. you were different from the usual type of people he hung out with, much more extroverted and a lot more focused on just living life rather than succeeding all the time. he liked it, it was refreshing and fun. every time he hung out with you, he felt like you were this bundle of light and joy, happy and bubbly and fun to spend time with.

but now it seemed like your light had been completely dimmed. looking into your eyes, lorcan only found a pool of sadness and hurt and it broke his heart.

"please talk to me", he pleaded. "I want to know what's going on with you, so I can help. please."

he tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, letting his hand linger for a bit. he wiped away another fallen tear that had escaped your eye. you knew he was waiting for an answer.

"fine", you huffed. "I overheard some girls talking about me, calling me a bimbo, dense and lots of other horrible stuff. basically saying I don't belong in ravenclaw."

lorcan's face had gone blank and you could see how hardly he was trying to surpress his anger, for your sake. he exhaled heavily, thinking before speaking, taking his time. he was always very careful with his words.

after a while, he finally spoke, an ernest yet empathetic expression on his face.

"look, I'm so sorry the girls in our house are so rude and that they're saying these unbelievably untrue things about you. I'm also sorry you believe them, because they couldn't be more wrong, love."

he sighed as he noticed tears welling up in your eyes again. he pulled you into his arms once more, your back now against his and your head against his chest. he shifted you so you were in a comfortable position in your bed, his back against the headboard and you slumped against him. he started playing with your hair, a comforting act that he did every time he had to console you after you didn't pass an exam.

"listen closely when I tell you this, okay?"

you nodded, curious as to what he'd say.

"I still remember the first time we hung out after a tutor session. you'd convinced me to go to hogsmeade with you because the christmas season had just started and you were so excited to go and see the lights and decorations. when we wandered around town, you were so happy the entire time, lighting up at every single decorated window you saw. you were glowing. and I've seen you like this other times as well. one time, you brought a new pencil to tutoring and you were basically ecstatic because it was pink and it lit up when you wrote with it. it was just a little pencil from zonko's but it still made you so happy."

the two of you were chuckling now, amused at the memory lorcan had recounted.

"you have the amazing ability to find joy in the little things in life. I envy you for it, actually. you're focused on just living life and finding happiness along the way. when I first met you, you weren't so worried about succeeding in school all of the time, until your grades got a little worse and I started tutoring you... yeah, you got more ambitious, I'll give you that but you also lost a bit of that spark"

you tensed, knowing that you'd gotten more stressed over the last few months. your academic performance hadn't really gotten better and your feeling of being an impostor in ravenclaw had increased. lorcan noticed your switch in emotions and quickly kept talking, not wanting to make you more upset.

"I want you to know that being good in school isn't everything. I know you've been so focused on it the last few month and you've been working so hard and I'm truly proud of you. I just don't want you to lose yourself in it. I know me and my friends have. sure, we're good at school and get good grades, but it doesn't exactly make us happy. most of us wish we'd have what you have. the ability to not base one's happiness on success but to simply be happy because life is a happy thing.In 3 years, nobody will care what grades you got in school, love. so, please, don't lose your adorable self over it."

he gave you a kiss on top of your head, ruffling your hair. it made you blush a little bit.

"and especially don't listen to what those nasty girls have got to say. they've got no idea what they're talking about."

he said the last part with a bit more harshness, the anger evident in his voice. it brought a little smile to your face. you felt better after what he had said and you didn't know how you had deserved him.

you turned around to face him and took his hands in yours.

"thank you, lorcan. I truly don't know how you do it, but you manage to cheer me up everytime, like it's your super power or something." you chuckle, it makes him smile.

"oh, a few months of tutoring you and many many tears of yours over potions have taught me how. so, I guess you could say I have 'well acquired super powers'"

he shrugged and you laughed, feeling a bit lighter thanks to your lorcan.

He is more of a thinker than his twin

Loves Pandora and will always find ways to make her smile

Lorcan and Scorpius are also very close, and like everyone else, he finds Sidra intimidating

[cursedwithwords]

How did you choose Lorcan and Lysanders personalities? I've seen people write them and talk about them tons of different ways, and I'm curious about how you decided because of how well thought out they are in your fic.

That's a really interesting question actually. Okay, so, basically I chose it based on how the name sounded, what vibe it gave off. Lorcan sounds like someone who'd be pretty chill, while Lysander sounds like he would be a bit more, you know, more.

The other reason is because of their name meanings. Lysander means "liberator" and the name Lorcan means "little fierce one", which is kind of how I try to write them. Lysander has a really strong sense of justice, Lorcan is passive but confident. Lysander becomes an Auror, Lorcan becomes a Magizoologist and physically cares for/handles the creatures. You gotta be pretty fierce and brave to handle beast's, yknow?

Lysander keeps his hair neat and short, he wears glasses and was sorted into Ravenclaw, and he has trouble making friends and talking to people.

Lorcan’s hair is longer and wavy/curly. He has freckles, he was sorted into Hufflepuff, he's a Legilimens, he's super kind and easygoing so he can make friends easily, but he feels more comfortable around his brother (because of his legilimency he gets migraines and Lysander has predictable thoughts so his presence is relaxing).

Lysander is NOT good with animals. He's straight (maybe bi), and Lorcan is aroace (cuz I want more aroace characters).

Lorcan is super similar to Luna, but Lysander is actually most similar to Theseus Scamander or Tina Goldstein (both Aurors, you may recal 🫢).

But they're both good boys and I love them so so much 🥺🤧 thanks for the ask, it was fun!

((They're the same age heheh))

[certainglitterhologram]

hp next gen headcanons

Hugo granger-weasley, Lorcan scamander, and Lysander scamander are best friends.

Hugo is a Hufflepuff, Lorcan and Lysander are Ravenclaws.

I imagine their conversations are very interesting. They're very relaxed, chill people. Very much the opposite of Rose, Scorpius, and Albus.

I think they'd be very nice people to hang out with. Hugo is quiet but not shy, just inquisitive. Lysander is the "louder one" but even so, he's not even loud. he's just louder than Lorcan and Hugo. He's a lot like Luna, very weird and proud of it. I think Lorcan is very quiet because he is shy. But I also think he's really imaginative.

[vulpes115]

I think Rosier twin truthers need to take better advantage of Luna canonically having twin boys tbh

Twins in the Lovegood family getting a second chance and this time they won’t let each other go

HP Next Gen Headcanons: Lysander

Full Name: Lysander Newton Scamander

House: Ravenclaw

Wand: vine and snidget feather

Patronus: irish wolfhound

Boggart: Lily and/or Lorcan's dead bodies (they are the most important people in his life)

Profession: auror

Sexuality: straight

Image(picrew):

Bonus: keeps his hair shorter and neater than his brother and wears glasses. The real oddball in his family because he's a more serious, no nonsense person while his parents and brother are generally pretty chill in most situations. Animals do NOT like him, which outsiders see as unbelievable because he's related to THE Newt Scamander (fucking hates when people say that)! Everyone knew he had a crush on Lily, including Lily, accept for him. He was literally the last to know. Extremely protective of Lorcan. Not the best in social situations and has difficulty making friends because he word vomits when he's nervous and comes off as a know-it-all. Is actually a huge softie. He loves learning but he HATES studying outside the classroom (he's got better things to do if you ask him). He also hates taking tests. Loves hugs but will never admit it. Wants to be cool but is not. He grew up around the Weasley and Potter kids so they're the only ones he feels comfortable being entirely himself around without worrying about being judged. Spends a lot of his later school years fretting over how useless he is with Magical Beasts and not knowing what to do with himself after graduation until Lily reminds him that just because he comes from a line of Magizoologists it doesn’t mean he was required to follow their footsteps. He chose to be an Auror because of his aptitude with defensive and offensive spells, and because "someone needs to protect my parents and Lorcan, they're all way too soft hearted for their own good". Doesn't get along well with Rose because she seems to look down on Lorcan (reminiscent of how hermione acted around luna pre friendship).

Wand Wood — vine

Extras:

"Vine wands are among the less common types, and I have been intrigued to notice that their owners are nearly always those witches or wizards who seek a greater purpose, who have a vision beyond the ordinary and who frequently astound those who think they know them best. Vine wands seem strongly attracted by personalities with hidden depths, and I have found them more sensitive than any other when it comes to instantly detecting a prospective match. Reliable sources claim that these wands can emit magical effects upon the mere entrance into their room of a suitable owner, and I have twice observed the phenomenon in my own shop."

This wand had been sitting on the shelf for many, many years before Lysabder came along. It was created before the Olivander's had decided to focus on crafting just with the two cores we currently know best (dragon heartstring and unicorn hair), so it was something special when Lysander stepped through the door. Tucked at the back of a high shelf and hidden by dozens of other boxes, Lysander's wand began shaking in its box before he'd even entered the shop. When he finally stepped through the threshold, boxes burst from the shelf from the wands eagerness, and Olivander was absolutely fascinated when he saw the vine wand shaking in its box. People generally seem to believe they know who Lysander is due to his familiar family name and eccentric parentage, but Lysander is consistently surprising people with his goals and motivations (such as his decision to join the aurors).

Wand Core — snidget feather

"These wand cores are extremely rare due to the Snidget's protected status. Wands with a Snidget Feather core excel in Charms, Potions, Dueling, and the ability to cast spells faster than most other wand cores. The major drawback with this wand core is its inability to perform proper Transfiguration spells. These wands will bond with a witch or wizard who has a glorious and fulfilling future ahead of them."

A wand seemingly made for an auror, this one aids Lysander from the moment he first takes it up. It is much less powerful in someone else's hand, and only shows its full potential with its chosen partner. Lysander is a talented wizard, and consistently shows that. He's a powerful auror, and is always the first to volunteer for field missions if an auror has not yet been assigned to it. Eager to change the things within the ministry that bother him the most and build a world that can be experienced by everyone without prejudice (a tall order, perhaps, but he is ambitious and motivated about his goals).

Patronus — Irish wolfhound

"Irish wolfhounds are reserved, soft-spoken, and patient creatures. Those with this Patronus exhibit a quiet inner strength that helps them remain calm even in the most stressful situations. However, this Patronus is not one you should ever underestimate. While they have deep stability, they are not afraid to fight back and defend themselves if you mess with them or their loved ones."

"The AKC identifies the wolfhound breed as dignified, courageous and calm, with a famous motto of "gentle when stroked, fierce when provoked." Considered one of the largest dog breeds in the world, as puppies they're quite gangly and clumsy, but they grow into what I consider to be one of the most visually intimidating and stunning dogs on earth."

I always consider Lysander to be quite similar to the Wolfhound, in that as a kid he was somewhat clumsy and awkward, but is able to grow into himself and become a powerful and intimidating but outrageously gentle man. The statement of the Wolfhound being alert and courageous but not suspicious or aggressive feels very on the nose to me, because it seems like the ideal way to be as an Auror. Lysander is dignified, calm and very focused. He has the unexpected ability to always make the right choice during missions. He isn't short tempered or "finger on the trigger" so to speak. He would never throw out a curse or spell without thinking first.

Lysander is absolutely an intimidating presence when he's older and an impressive auror, but he's gentle with his loved ones to the point or coddling almost. It would take a lot to upset him, but god help you if you cross that line.
