Comic style watercolor paintings of Anterican people and landscapes

I typically don’t use tape for my watercolor work, but I find it’s REALLY fun to! The second image was actually the first one I did in this series and I was inspired by the comic panel like composition to make it look like such.

JOHN "???" WARD

THE GARDENER, THE HOST, THE TWO-FACE.

[FROM NOW-ON, THIS WILL TAG AS FAITH TEXAN AU FOR SORTING PURPOSES]

The reference picture is post-amy incident.

John Ward is current host to the Sickler (unseeable/jagged-jazz, ect) for more than 10 years. After the recent incident of (literal) botched exorcist with Amy Matins and Father Allred, John choose to banished the entity influenced on his decisions. Unfortunately they share more than a mind to be completely seperate.

Jokingly called John psyWard (not in-lore)

This John is late 30s (37~39)

John Ward is same-person name but due to the hosting, is now used as seperate. Ward is described as Sickler part.

Shaped like a hen.

Physically really fits even after falling off his daily routine (can bend Gary in half if given reasons)

Have extreme passion for cooking and extremely niche on how it should go. This is shared and encouraged trait by Sickler. Gardening go along this line.

Morally is, fucked up grey (to put it lightly)

Divorced Molly ages ago before meeting Gary and Amy incident

Used to date a Normal Human Being years ago before their relationship turn into bitter rivalry and seething hatred.

If injured, required blood to replaced the missing space (vampiric: manually)

And reason why guy's so pale.

Trans but cis passing so hard that he forgot that (thanks to wonder of literal body modifications offered by Sickler.)

"Who's Thomas."

189 cm tall

Sound AND inspired from Paul Hill from Midnight Mass (the autism in his eyes is strong.)

[SHIRTLESS REF]

Fortunately, still a cat person (figurative)

[FREE_SPACE_HERE.JPG]

GARY "???" MILLER

[THIS IS A SHARED HEADCANNONS, IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION PLEASE ASK @aless-was-here BECAUSE THAT'S GARY.]

Nicknamed Tarot-boy both affectionately and insultingly by other demons

Is equipvelent of "Popular Girl" in hell. Got quite a portion of people in court to kiss his shoes when he's away.

Trans and evil (keep top surgery scars even through reincarnation for the jig of it)

Gary Miller, not much is known in past life aside from being certain Duke of hell summoned to be reborn as baby boy, adopted by Miriam. And, by rumours, Father Gray. (Is debunked to be false, GRAY IS NOT YOUR FATHER.)

Abortion slays, Landlord evil

Have little brother named "Mike Miller" (Raum), not reincarnated together.

Is a dooting big brother.

Voice of smooth jazz singer with hint of rasp as a treat.

Charismaniac slug, oozing with charms and grins like bastard

Cat person (literal)

According to Aless, use old spice and not axe spray. According to my other friend, pats cow blood on the pits and call it a day.

197 cm tall

Body of athlete who haven't been working out for years

53 years old shroom slug

Trauma-bombed and pranked by Sickler

John's movable finely aged blood wine (where all biting come from)

Allergic to church and have to drink a herbal mixture to repressed the sickness (made out of Mandrake)

[CULTIST SIMULATOR + Conjured form]

[BEHOLD, AN ANGEL]

[TRUE-TRUE FORM OF GARY, IS FLOWERS]

[BACKGROUND CHARACTERS THAT MENTIONED: FATHER GRAY, FATHER JONAS, "???" KORNE, "???" KARLSON]

[>Father Gray: extremely dead, had very complicated and unwanted (neg) relationship with Miriam before being discarded as a dead husk. Currently is still a husk but is moved unwillingly. The spirit is long dead. There's no single trace of humanity behind those eyes.]

[>Father/Big Brother Jonas: (???) Story unfold soon but, is very much insane and devoted to Sickler. Have father/son relationship with Gray]

[Korne: a tool, a husk.]

[Karlson: mouth piece for Song.S, will be talked in future later. For now, is assistance to Jonas's plans.]

Watch List- English Language Movies (Latest Update Aug. 4, 2024)

My extensive movies list. Not numbered because tumblr has a character limit in blocks of text that affect numbered lists apparently, but fyi before you open the read more there are 300+ entries in this list.

Because of the sheer number of things I want to watch I’m separating my watch list posts into four categories. I keep them separate primarily for organization so I can decide what to watch based different variables (mood, time, language, etc)

I’m pretty much constantly adding things to all of my lists- hence why I’m amending when this was last updated to the title itself- and will update this post anytime I update the wheel I use to randomize my next choice, which usually happens after I’ve added or subtracted a significant number of options.

“I’m back and I brought the healer!” said Tonks leading Wisteria into the living room “And the healer brought the cutest little pet in the world. I mean look at this thing! I always want-”

“Tonks I need your help in the kitchen.” said Molly pulling the purple hair woman away leaving Wisteria standing in the living room holding her sleeping potted pet

Quiet

Day 13, story #2 is by @voldemorts-tap-shoes

Title: Quiet

Author: voldemorts-tap-shoes

Pairing: Molly x Arthur

Prompt: Halloween

Rating: G

TW: none

Quiet is not a word that Molly has often used to describe the Burrow.

Frankly, when the kids were living at home, quiet was often a sign of things gone awry. The other mums down in the village yearned for quiet, lamenting when their children wouldn’t go down for a nap—not, of course, being privy to the benefits of a couple of drops of Dreamless Sleep potion—and disrupted their peaceful homes with their cries. But Molly Weasley knew better than to trust ‘quiet’.

Quiet meant Bill had snuck out to meet up with friends in Ottery St. Catchpole or that Charlie was out in the woods behind the house, searching for some magical creature who would inevitably inflict a wound on him that Molly would dutifully heal. Quiet meant Percy was cooped up in his room, studying too hard as usual. Quiet was the twins busy plotting a prank, Ron faking a nap to get out of chores, Ginny hiding in the pantry because she had stolen one of her brother’s brooms and was nursing a swollen ankle that she didn’t want to confess to.

Quiet was trouble.

Of course, as the kids all left for Hogwarts over the years, Molly had had to learn to live with the quiet. It seemed like a slow descent into silence at first, but when the twins had started their first year, it was two kids gone at once, and then Ron and Ginny back-to-back almost right after, and then they were—what was the Muggle expression Arthur had used?—empty nesters.

Arthur always said it wouldn’t last forever. That one day, the kids would have spouses and families, and there would be even more Weasley love to go around. Molly had always feared that Arthur was only half-right: that their own lives would keep them away from their childhood home, which would feel quieter than ever in their absence.

But Arthur had been wholly right, and then some.

Hardly a single day went by without one of the kids Flooing over to drop off a grandchild for babysitting—either planned or impromptu—or to borrow a bit of potion they didn’t have time to brew themselves, or even just with a casual “what’s for dinner, Mum?” It was rare anymore that the house was as full as it used to be at all times, but it was even more rarely quiet.

Molly had been working in the kitchen much of the afternoon in preparation for the evening ahead. Arthur arrived home from the Ministry just ahead of when the children were scheduled to start arriving, and he was carrying a peculiar object in his hand. It appeared to be a pumpkin with a face. “Look at what they gave me at work today,” he said, marveling at the pumpkin as he set it on the table and reached for a warm tray of biscuits.

“What is it, dear?” Molly asked, leaving the pots on the stove to stir themselves as she moved to greet her husband.

“The Muggles call it a jack-o-lantern.” Arthur handed it to her for a closer look. It was hard and hollow, unlike a real pumpkin, and the features were painted on. “And watch what it does.” Arthur placed a hand beneath the pumpkin, Molly heard a click, and then the pumpkin was glowing from the inside. “Wonderful, isn’t it?”

The children would probably remind their father that they could do just the same thing with magic, that the Great Hall at Hogwarts was in all likelihood adorned with similarly lit pumpkins at that very moment, but Molly never tired of Arthur’s enthusiasm for Muggle things. His insatiable wonder with what they could accomplish was a magic all its own.

The Floo chimed from the other room, and soon the sound of children once again filled the magical house. Every year on Halloween, Molly delighted in seeing their creative costumes and filling them with sweets, and for a few hours, the house buzzed with the sounds of laughter and little feet and love.

It was getting late, by their standards, at least—they weren’t baby mandrakes any longer, after all—by the time they were alone in the house again. Molly was prepared to complete all of the clean-up tonight—the aftermath of her cooking, the princess hat left strewn across the floor by Victoire, even the muddy footprints that Hugo’s cowboy boots had tracked across the entryway—but Arthur’s tug at her hand kept her on the couch. His head was tipped back against the cushions, and she had been fooled into thinking he was already asleep.

“It’s nice when the kids are here, isn’t it?” he asked, his voice lulling her into a drowsy warmth as she leaned under his outstretched arm.

“Very nice,” she agreed.

Arthur’s arm tightened around her shoulder as he murmured sleepily, “The quiet is nice, too.”

Molly gave a contented sigh as she let her eyelids droop shut. Yes, she thought, sometimes the quiet is nice, too.

Both women now lead and organize a hush hush group that makes and doles out the drug they should have legal rights to. If that ain’t a bitch, I don’t know what is

here to request fluffy fred as asked!! i was thinking about plant shopping, like it would be really fun taking fred magical plant shopping and he has no idea what anything is because he never paid attention in herbology and reader just laughs at him as he gets nipped n squealed at by everything

"I still don't know why we need a plant." Fred sighed. "Would you prefer to be selling kids dead Pygmy puffs? Is that what you want? Traumatizing events?" You asked. "No. But I still think that we should just go out and buy the feed ourselves." He whined as you drove. "It is cheaper to grow it and plus, I'm good with plants." You reminded. "Then you're taking care of this because I don't know a damn thing when it comes to plants." He admitted. You rose a brow as you pulled in and parked. "You took a class on this." You reminded. "I'm aware. And if I remember correctly I had a very very sexy partner who was distracting." He said. You snorted. "Babe... You're getting potions mixed up with herbology." you reminded. "then who was my herbology partner?" He asked. "....Neville." You said making him get out the car as you wheezed. "Still... Why must I come along for this?" Fred asked. "Because if I'm not available one day to do this, you need to know what to grab." You said. He huffed as you walked in. You seemed to already know your way around, moving through the aisles quickly. Fred cocked his head to the side, looking at a bouncing bulb. "What's this?" He asked. "Bouncing bulb. Careful... it will attack you if you get to close." you warned. "plants shouldn't attack anything." Fred shuddered, following you. "But they do. Wait till you see what we're actually going to be buying... I wonder if they have steel cases or something." You pondered. "What the fuck does it do for it to need a steel case?" Fred asked. "That's actually the tamest of the plants. Just makes you dizzy. Actually more of an equivalent of being drunk, I think it's used in truth serum" You said. "That's tame to you!?" "Fred we literally took care of screaming plants that would make you pass out without protection over the ears." You reminded. "I really should've gone to class." He said making you smack your head against a wall and let out a long groan. "....You've got to be kidding me." You sighed. "Remember that you love me." Fred said. You groaned. "I knew that would come back to bite me in the ass." You grumbled as you pushed the cart forward. 

You got a ton of questions from Fred. "Love, what the fuck is that?" or  "Princess, why does that look like it's ready to kill me?". You answered them, best to your ability but he still had a nasty habit of trying to touch the plants. You swore up and down he was mentally five. You finally found the plant and sure enough it was in a case. Which Fred opened. And oh boy.

He was stumbling around like a moron. "Baby... I feel so weird right now." He said looking at his hands as you paid for the plant. "...He opened the case didn't he?" The cashier asked. "Yep." You nodded. "Babe... I have hands..." He said making you snort. "Yes, we all do Fred." You said. "Woaaahhh" he gaped as you dragged him to the car. You put the case in the trunk and you sighed, looking up at how long the effects were for this. "Fifteen more minutes. Oh boy." You muttered. "I love you Y/nnnn." Fred said. You looked at him and laughed. "I love you too Freddie." You said. "You're so good to me-- and patient-- God I want you in my life forever." He said holding your hands. You chuckled. "Careful Fred, those effects are going to wear off soon and you're going to regret saying something." You warned. "No I'm not! I have a plaaannnn." He said making you raise a brow. "What?" You asked. "A pllaaaaannnnnnn" he repeated waving his hands around before playing with his seatbelt. You rose a brow and he chuckled. "I have a ring and eveerrryyytthhhinnng" he waved making you gape. "Fred stop talking." You said. "Do you not want to get marrrrieed--" "No I'm trying to stop you from ruining your 'plan'" you said putting a hand over his mouth. "RIIGGGHHTTT the plaaaannn" Fred nodded before conking out in the passenger seat.

Fred had no recollection of the conversation you had or why you were suddenly acting very strange around him. "Y/n, darling is everything alright?" Fred asked. "Ahahaha! Yesss. I am perfectly A okay!" You said, eye twitching slightly. This was mainly going to your head. When on earth was this happening!? How did you not see this coming!? I mean, of course you were going to say yes but honestly the idea of a proposal in a crowded restaurant terrified you. I mean what if you tripped mid proposal or some shit? What if you did something stupid-- WHAT IF YOU SNEEZED IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND PEOPLE WERE WATCHING!? "Did you inhale some plant fumes or something--" "NOPE. I'M GOOD. EVERYTHING IS GOOD." you said making Fred confused. "Did I... Do something?" He asked. "No! No you're perfect! I'm just nervous about... My mandrakes! I should get a sign so that when I'm working you don't walk in and... Pass out or... Y'know. Die." You lied. "Is that that weird screaming plant you mentioned?" He asked. "Look at you paying attention!" You said with finger guns. What the fuck are you doing?

"Right... I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Burrow tonight?" Fred asked. "Yeah! Yeah sure I am coolio with that!" You said. Could you chill? Please? "... Alright then... I'll leave you to the screaming plant children." Fred said before kissing your head and walking out.

The door closed and Fred was confused even more. What the fuck was that? "Does she know?" George asked. "I don't think so? She's acting very strange though... She used finger guns at one point." Fred said. "Are you sure she doesn't know?" George asked quietly. "No I don't think--" then it hit him... "Oh no." Fred winced. "What?" George asked. "I fucked up." He groaned. "What did you do?" George asked. "Fucking plant fumes made me high and I think I let it slip that I had a plan." Fred groaned. "Fred calm down. We're used to improvising. So how do we go about this?" George said. "Uhmm... Hmm...."

You walked out a couple of hours later and Fred was looking at papers. "Look at you looking all professional over there." You chuckled. He smiled and blinked a few times. "What the hell happened to you?" He asked. "Mandrake bit me... Fell back on the devil's snare and almost got high from plant fumes-- the usual." You sighed, sliding off the apron you were wearing. You used a simple spell to clean yourself and stretched. "You said we were going to the burrow?" You asked. Did you not suspect anything? "Yeah, Charlie, Percy and Bill are visiting." Fred said. "...So... Your brother are going to... Be there..." You realized. Fred noticed the suspicion. "Percy is down because he has finally lodged the stick out of his ass, Charlie is down on business, something about a welsh dragon nearly attacking a muggle and Bill just likes to see mum every now and again." Fred said. You nodded but clearly still suspected something was happening. "I uhm... What will we be doing exactly?" You asked. "Mum wants you to teach her how to make pizza apparently." Fred said. Oh... Oh that's like the least engagement-y thing to do. Okay, stress gone. "Let's roll then. Is George riding with us?" You asked. "Yep." George said walking out of a backroom.

You all rode in the car in silence and George was looking at Fred like "Dude. Say something." Fred swallowed and fiddled with the ring in his pocket and you drove. "Soooo... Charlie found a common Welsh dragon?" You asked. "Oh don't tell me you freak out over dragons too!" George whined. "They're cool, but I most likely don't freak out like Charlie does." You shrugged. "you got that right. That man could go on for HOURS about fucking dragons." Fred nodded. "Meh. It's better than Draco's ass rambling on about 'pureblood customs'." You shrugged. "that's always true." George nodded. You pulled into the burrow and walked in. "Goodness darling you smell like pesticide." Molly said after hugging you. "I am so sorry--" "Would you like to shower upstairs? I'll wash your clothes while you do." She suggested. "Honestly... A bath sounds great." You nodded. "She can just borrow some of my clothes." Ginny shrugged.

And so the plan was afoot. Fred and George had to act quickly while you were taking a shower, telling the family to ACT. NORMAL. You soon came back down in a comfortable dress that wasn't too fancy and Charlie was rambling about dragons. "Change of plans, mom is making pot roast apparently." Fred said. "And the there's the hungarian Ridgeback--" "Charlie I love you. You know I do. But shut up." Bill winced. You snorted and Charlie looked over. "You must be Y/n!" He said hugging you. "Charlie right? Dragon obsessed?" You asked. "That's me!" He nodded. "We've met once right? You were Fred's plus one to my wedding?" Bill asked. "Yes, Fleur correct?" You asked, looking at her. "Yes that is me." She nodded. "She's getting better with her English." Bill said. "pas besoin de s'inquiéter. Je connais le français." You nodded making Fred and George raise a brow. "You know French?" George asked. "I usually have to order certain plants internationally so..." You shrugged. "oohh" George nodded. Ron came downstairs with Harry. "Hey you two!" You waved. "Y/n!" Both boys said before hugging you. "Boy this is a nice get together... Where is Percy?" You asked. "With Dad looking at something to make sure it is 'of the ministry standard'." Charlie gagged making you laugh. "Any special occasion I'm not aware of here orrr?" You asked. "....I caught my fiftieth dragon!" Charlie said. "congratulations. Was it the common Welsh that Fred mentioned earlier?" You asked. "Oh no." Bill winced. "You know dragons!?" Charlie asked. "Read about them... And had to help that idiot over there during the competition." You said pointing to Harry. "So what's you--" "PLEASE. DO NOT. START. WITH THE DRAGONS. AGAIN." Bill groaned. See this? This was normal. Hermione came down with a smile. "Thought I heard you!" She said. You hugged her and let out a relieved breath. "God it feels good to be around other females." You said. "Hey!" Fred and George said. "I can only take so much testosterone." You said. "testoster-- what?" George asked. "Science George. It's science." Ginny snorted.

You and the girls talked for a while and soon dinner came along. "So, how's business?" Molly asked George. "It's good. Y/n has figured out ways to save us money so we're doing REALLY right now." George nodded. "She's bloody brilliant." Fred said smiling at you. You smiled and shook your head. "Though her plants are freaky." Fred said. "They are not freaky." You laughed. "They are! What kind of plant screams!?" Fred asked. " A mandrake." Everyone at the table answered making him groan. You laughed and he shook his head. Arthur smiled watching you. "Ginny did you leave the pygmy puff unattended?" Ron asked. "Uhm... Yeah, it's in my--" there was a thud upstairs and she grumbled. "Room." She finished before going upstairs. "I better help her... Puffers tends to be aggressive after waking up." Hermione said before walking up. "Puffers?" You asked. "He was the first successful Pygmy puff we made. We just gave him to Ginny. Glad to see he's handling mating season well." George explained after hearing another thud. "RON. GET THIS THING PLEASE." Ginny called. Ron sighed and walked upstairs. "Wanna take a walk?" Fred asked after another loud thud. "Absolutely!" You nodded before walking outside. You two walked for a bit in silent, shivering as the air got colder. Fred took the ring out of his jacket pocket and switched it to his pants pocket before giving you the jacket. "It's pretty tonight." You breathed as you huddled into the jacket. He smiled. "Yeah, yeah it is." He said. You smiled and he kissed you, holding your face close. "I've got to know this before I ask you something." Fred said making you raise a brow. "Any reason why you've been nutty lately?" He asked. "Uh... No?" You lied. He gave you a "really?" Look and you sighed. "When the plant got you... Intoxicated? You kind of... Said something pertaining to marriage." You admitted. "Is that so bad?" Fred asked. "What? No-- no I'm just... Look, I am a fuck up. I am a clutz and I trip over air. I am terrified that if you proposed to me in a crowded area I'd literally fall on my ass." You admitted. "... That's it?" He asked. "Yeah." You nodded. "Y/n I know you hate crowds. Why do you think Ginny made an excuse for us to leave the house?" He said. "...Wait.." "Why do you think my family knows that we're out here and trying to make you feel comfortable?" Oh my God. "Why do you think I made sure you knew we were going to be away from other people?" Fred asked. "... You're a serial killer?" You joked, tears already forming. He chuckled and got down on one knee. "Oh my God." You breathed. "Y/n I love you so much. And I want you to always feel safe and always feel comfortable telling me things." Fred said. "And I want to spend the rest of my life making you feel safe." He added. "Will you marry me?" He asked. You nodded and cried as you wrapped your arms around him. He slid on the ring and he kissed your head, holding you close. "Oh don't cry princess! We're going to have cake! Or alcohol... Or both." Fred said making you laugh. "I'm so happy holy shit." You laughed. He smiled and then had an idea. "wanna screw with my family a little?"

You two walked back to the house and everyone was standing around as if they were waiting. "...Nice walk." Fred nodded. "Yeah, kind of cold though." You nodded acting nonchalant. Ron and Hermione exchanged a confused look. "here's your jacket." You said, making a point to show your hand with the ring on it as you handed back the jacket making them all scream. "MY GOD WERE YOU JUST GOING TO KEEP GOING WITH THE ACT!?" Molly said. "maybe?" You said before being engulfed into a hug with her and Fred. "Okay-- air mum-- air!" Fred said. You looked at the family around you with small smile tugging at your lips "Champagne? Anyone?" Bill said holding up a bottle. "Aayyee my brother knows me so well." Fred said laughing. You rolled your eyes as Fred linked his arm around you and pulled you close. You looked in his eyes and smiled. This was safe. This was your home. This was your family.

QHPRA - Gilderoy Lockhart

@ginevra-molly-weasley

I love the description of breakfast at Hogwarts.

…the worst memory of anyone Harry had ever met. – the theories spawned by this single sentence! And for the record, no, I don’t believe Neville suffers from a Death Eater-induced Memory Charm.

Neville’s gran sent him a Howler? When? It must have been before Hogwarts because Harry would have noticed that.

It’s not entirely Ron’s fault, Molly, it’s Arthur’s, too. Poor Arthur.

Hermione seemed to think they had now been punished enough and was being perfectly friendly again.- Gracious of her. /sarcasm

I bet the Whomping Willow at full strength could have thumped Lockhart into next week. And it would have done everyone a favour.

Oh please, Lockhart, as if Harry isn’t internationally famous! EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO HARRY IS!

Baby mandrakes knock you out for several hours? Shame someone didn’t ‘borrow’ one of them and use it on Lockhart. >:)

Why didn’t we get to see the Venomous Tentacula, WB?!

Justin being down for Eton implies he’s very posh indeed. But he’s a decent sort, at least.

His wand… seemed to be damaged beyond repair. It kept cracking and sparking at odd moments, and every time Ron tried to transfigure… it engulfed him in thick grey smoke which smelled of rotten eggs. Unable to see what he was doing, Ron accidentally squashed his beetle with his elbow. – See, this is dangerous, I can’t believe they let Ron go through the entire school year with his wand like this! Even if he didn’t write to his parents, surely McGonagall or one of the teachers should have let them know.

I do think Molly and Arthur would have bought Ron a new wand, though, because, repeating myself, IT IS CLEARLY DANGEROUS FOR HIM TO HAVE A WAND THIS BROKEN.

Bless Colin for putting his finger on what’s bothering Malfoy. So brave.

Ginny wouldn’t join a Harry Potter fanclub or go around asking for his photo. She knows he doesn’t like publicity.

‘I didn’t get rid of the Bandon banshee by smiling at her!’ – I bet you tried, though, didn’t you? Really hard. ¬_¬

Ron was now staring at Lockhart with an expression of disbelief on his face – Ron’s already beginning to see that Lockhart’s all mouth and no trousers.

Lockhart wrecks his own classroom and then leaves three second-years to clean up his own mess. What a charmer.

Afterglow

Title: Afterglow

Prompt/Day: Bringing baby Hugo home from St. Mungo’s (with mentions of the day’s other two themes, Arthur’s shed and trainers)

Tumblr name:

Rating: K, K+

Brief summary: After Romione brings home their second child, they take a day off with all three of them in bed— and take a moment to rediscover how beautiful they think the other is.

Possible warning tags: breastfeeding (non-sexual context)

“Is Rose still at your parents’?” Hermione asked, pressing her brand new blanketed bundle to her chest as she and Ron made their way to their little house in St. John’s Wood.

“Yeah, why?” Ron said. “Want me to tell them to bring her back?”

“No, actually— that’s exactly it. I’ve just had a baby, Ron, I could use a day off… Unless Molly would mind, of course?”

“Are you kidding? It’s impossible for her, going from a house of seven kids to an empty nest in the space of a few years, I’ll be surprised if she ever gives Rose back,” he said, waving his wand to send a silvery Jack Russell Terrier to the Burrow to inform Molly of Rose’s extended stay. “Besides, it’s not like Rose will mind, you know how much she loves going into my dad’s shed with him to see all the crazy stuff he’s been charming lately. You know, he’s just managed to Lumos some trainers into glowing, says he got the idea from those light-up sneakers he saw in a Muggle storefront when we took him to London…” he trailed off, noticing Hermione’s unusual quiet. “Tired?” he said, more tenderly.

“Yeah, you could say so,” she smiled faintly, pressing the baby closer to her chest. “I should hardly think I’d need to remind you, Ronald, I’ve just had a baby.”

“Pointing out the obvious, as ever,” said Ron as he opened the door to their house and ushered Hermione in, the baby asleep in her arms. They headed straight to the bedroom: Hermione needed a rest, and their big, fluffy bed was just the place to be right then.

They had hardly settled down in bed when baby Hugo, emerging from his bundle like a sleepy Mandrake from a plant pot, began to cry. Ron’s face fell: despite having lived through a baby already (and Rose had been no small feat), he felt a twinge of fear emerging again— after all, this was a new one, and how were they to know they hadn’t done something wrong already? In her usual fashion, however, Hermione remained calm where Ron hadn’t, even happy at the baby’s crying: “Oh, he must be hungry,” she cooed.

“Alright, where’s the bottle? I’m sure I can—” Ron started to say, already stumbling out of bed when Hermione’s hand reached out to pull him back.

“Don’t worry, Ron!” she said, a hint of a laugh in her voice. “Babies don’t need to eat from a bottle all the time.”

“Oh, brilliant, so you’re just gonna accio it here— blimey, Hermione, what are you doing?” he said as she started taking off her shirt.

“Feeding the baby,” Hermione panned, and Ron couldn’t help but smile at the hint of the old know-it-all he’d first known his wife as.

She held Hugo to her chest, allowing him to nestle in her arms as he suckled, and the crying dissolved into a bout of contented gurgling. As he looked at her, Ron couldn’t help but wonder why exactly he couldn’t look away: ten years with his wife, and he still kept getting caught off guard at how gorgeous she was. But there was something more this time— she was glowing. Basked in the afterglow of the joy of new motherhood, Hermione positively shone, irradiated with happiness as her son melted into her arms. Our son, Ron thought, and his heart skipped a small beat.

They stayed in silence while Hugo ate, Hermione gazing adoringly at their baby (and Ron at his wife). Finally, Hugo drew away with a small coo, and immediately fell back asleep in his mother’s arms.

“Isn’t he lo-oh-ovely?” Hermione yawned, and, even through the glow still coming from her, Ron could see how tired she was. “Look, he’s got your hair…”

“A Weasley with red hair, who’s ever heard of that?” joked Ron, as Hermione muttered ’Granger-Weasley’, more fixated on how Hugo’s button nose was exactly like Hermione’s, which he had pressed so many, too many to count, kisses to… “Do you need some sleep? You seem exhausted…”

“I do, actually…” said Hermione, and —to his surprise— handed him the baby. “I’m going to nap for a bit, is that okay?”

“Well, yes— of course— but I—” sputtered Ron, fumbling with Hugo and terrified he would wake him up, drop, him, hurt him—

Hermione seemed to recognize his fear. “Ron, you’ve had Rose before.”

“Well— yes— but this one's— I dunno, this one’s different—”

He was surprised to hear a laugh from his wife: “Don’t be silly, Ron, you’re his father.” And with that, she promptly rolled over in bed and dozed off for a well-deserved nap, leaving Ron staring wide-opened at the little baby, sputtering contentedly in his sleep, in his father’s arms —outside of St. Mungo’s staffers’ supervision— for the very first time.

The nap lasted well through the afternoon: as Hermione began stirring from her deep slumber (no doubt brought by how hard it was to sleep properly in a crowded, chock-full of misplaced magic place like St. Mungo’s), their West-facing bedroom was now coated with an orange sheen that could only mean sunset. And there, through half-closed eyes, still struggling to flutter fully free of the bindings of sleep, she saw Ron. Bathed in the same golden light sifted through the curtains, his long red eyelashes danced with sun sparks as he blinked, and in his arms, cooing happily as his father sang him a little lullaby under his breath (careful not to rouse Hermione, unbeknownst that she was watching him), was his son.

‘Our son,’ Hermione thought, and —just as Ron’s had done frequently since he’d realized Hugo was theirs, Hugo was wonderfully theirs— her heart skipped a small beat.

Irene Bullock, Joe Bradley and Longfellow Deeds?

Anon you know me well! I love all three of them 🤍

brOTP: Irene and Molly, the maid

OTP: Irene x Godfrey ofc!

nOTP: Irene and that guy she’s engaged to for like two minutes 😂

random headcanon: this movie is one of my all time favourites and I love Irene and Godfrey, but tbh I think they’d have divorced. Maybe William and Carole’s real marriage have biased my opinion lol

least favorite thing about them: he let Ann go! Why, Joe, W H Y

favourite line: “I haven’t worn a nightgown in years”

brOTP: Joe and Irving!

OTP: Joe x Anne 🥰

nOTP: idek

random headcanon: I think he’d have stayed in Rome for many years at least, not wanting to let it go because of all his memories with Ann

unpopular opinion: again related to the acting as opposed to the character, but Gregory’s performance was just as incredible as Audrey’s

song i associate with them: on top of the world by imagine dragons

Longfellow Deeds

favourite thing about them: his faith in humanity and the essential goodness of people. It’s something I wish I could have

least favorite thing about them: his naivety

brOTP: Longfellow and Cobb

OTP: Longfellow and Babe ofc!

nOTP: John and his wife 🤮

random headcanon: I bet after the movie events he went back to Mandrake Falls to work on the new fire truck

unpopular opinion: more related to the movie generally rather than the character, but I think Jean Arthur’s performance was just as good as Gary Cooper’s

song i associate with them: for he’s a jolly good fellow

Summary: No matter what, they would be together. They were always going to be together. *200 short, non-linear drabbles for Victoire and Neville, on love, life, and looking behind them before they look down the road.* [Potter–Weasley family fluff, Longbottom family fluff, and Neville- and Victoire-appreciation.]

*131—Simple*

                 "Ah, Dad, could you help me with this sketch?" Jacqueline asked James.

               He paused making a snack and looked at the assignment. "You've got to draw a mandrake?" He shot a Victoire a look in the living room. "What's Neville up to? We never had to do this sort of thing."

               "Da-ad," Jacqueline insisted with a twelve-year-old's haughtiness. "C'mon! You design wands all the time. This should be easy for you."

               James sighed. "Jac, I can't draw creatures or people. Why don't you go ask your godmother for help? And I'll tell Neville what I think about his assignment when he and your papa get back from being out with Creevey and Zabini… Teachers' night out, my foot…"

               Jacqueline did as he suggested and went to the witch in the living room, joining her on the couch. "Victoire?" she asked, holding the homework up.

               Victoire groaned. "I'm sorry, Jacqueline… I design clothes, but"—she groaned again, cheeks red—"I can't draw creatures or people either!"

*132—Clean*

                 It sort of…beckoned him. It had been doing so for a couple months, calling out to him and taunting him. And now he sat at home like a sad person, staring at his left hand.

               What was he thinking? It was crazy. He was a fully grown man. She was barely a woman. He'd had a family. That had been enough for him. He liked being friends, not just family friends, with her, but…

               Neville shook his head, heat creeping up his neck and into his face as his gaze drifted to the short 'n' sweet missive on his lap. It was a quick, friendly, informal invitation to join her and some of her friends at Florean's. They were having a little celebration for their graduation. But he didn't know what he'd do if he saw Victoire, which had to be guaranteed, as she'd sent the invite.

               His hand scolded him. He was still a man with feelings and freedom, and he deserved the happiness she was offering him. So he left for Florean's, looking for a clean break from the past and a clean slate on which to write the future.

*133—String*

                 "What are you thinking about?" Lily asked, not taking her eyes off toddler Marshall.

               Teddy had his cheek cupped in his palm as he watched his wife and son play by exchanging silly faces. Marshall's hair brightened from a gray grape color to a bright Parma violet. "…just," Teddy said, "about the lines that create a family tree. Our family tree."

               Lily sent him a quick smile. "And? What intrigues the incredible Mr. Lupin?"

               "I suppose the growing years. The ten between you and me. The thirteen between my parents." He ran a hand through his hair. "The twenty between Victoire and Neville, and the twenty-four between James and Justin. The twenty-three between Molly and Michael."

               "Your point?" Lily picked Marshall up and walked over to Teddy. "Don't tell me now it bugs you."

               He shook his head and reached out to hold his son in his arms. Marshall had his—Remus'—eyes. "No. I just wonder what will become of the next generation. And I'm thankful for all that has happened to ours."

*134—Universal*

                 Victoire stomped out of McGonagall's office, huffing. She was grateful for the Floo connection to home in the remaining months, but she was glad the school year was almost over, because she needed her fiancé to be around to scold and—ah, bollocks. In all her hormonal raging, she'd forgotten why she wanted to yell at him.

               She decided to search for him, hoping not to run into any others along the way. But, as luck would have it, two of her old professors spotted her. And they just had to be Zabini and Parkinson–Zabini. "Weasley? What are you doing here?"

               "She's about to marry Neville, remember?" Zabini reminded his wife as Victoire turned, feeling obliged to say hello.

               "Yes, but she shouldn't be just walking around here like this," Parkinson–Zabini said.

               "Hello, professors," Victoire said kindly. She expected a snide remark now that they were all adults.

               But Parkinson–Zabini eyed her big belly, and color flooded her cheeks. "When are you due?" she snapped despite her obvious excitement.

*135—Silver*

                 The slow days could be the nicest ones. Those were the times when it was easiest to convince Madam Malkin to take the day off and to let Victoire run the shop. …all right, so the elder witch so far would only take half a day, but it was a start.

               While Victoire enjoyed working in silence, she also liked the occasional visitor. Today was Lania Jordan, Lee and Marietta's only daughter, and an acquaintance of Victoire's through James. She appeared in her silver Sleekeazy robes with a bakery box under her arm.

               "Hey, Victoire…" Lania cocked her head to one side, her reddish curls bobbing. "I could use a friend. A sister, really."

               "Oh?" The Weasley put her work aside to take her break.

               "Yeah. I mean, Curt's got Troy, but it's not the same, going to him over boy troubles." Lania opened the box to share. "And you know what it's like to fall for an older man."

               "You had me at the treats, mate," the other witch laughed.

*136—Zone*

                 She'd noticed something a while back. Her mother seemed to have a favorite thing about her father. When Fleur thought no one was paying attention, she occasionally would run her hand through Bill's hair. She loved its length and softness, and that kind of thing was silly but made Victoire glad that Grandmam Weasley never had the chance to trim it all.

               And, with Dominique, she had her own thing. No matter how awkwardly they'd have to position themselves, Dominique and Lysander could always hold hands. Even linking a couple of fingers counted. Victoire loved seeing her sister enjoy that closeness.

               Even Louis, in his own way, had his favorite thing. The others thought him lazy or just that Hugo was the taller one, but Louis was always resting an arm or placing his head on Hugo's shoulder. Victoire thought it sweet.

               Now she thought about her favorite part of Neville. He did have a somewhat long neck… The skin was so smooth there… Victoire kissed it, surprising him enough to put his book away in bed. Yes, she liked his soft, strong, ticklish neck best.

*137—Nose*

                 "All right, the trick is to tilt your head back enough to catch them but not enough to get water in your nose." Neville picked up his eight-year-old daughter.

               "Sounds good, Papa!" Frédérique said, and she put an arm around his neck as they stared up at the sky.

               "Neville Algernon Longbottom!" Victoire threw open the back door but didn't dare step out into the pouring rain. "What do you think you're doing?!"

               "Catching raindrops, of course!" Neville glanced over his shoulder, but his eyes were closed to keep out the water. "Didn't you ever do this, Vic?"

               "Come join us, Mama!" Frédérique yelled.

               "No, you two get in here right now before you freeze to death!" the witch demanded.

               Frédérique slipped out of her father's arms and landed wetly on her feet in the amassing mud. "Make us!"

               Only Neville knew better than to taunt his wand-wielding wife like that….

*138—Past*

                 Sometimes she awoke with a fright. She would sit up, clutching the covers to her chest, her fingertips clawing at her chest as if to reach right in to squeeze her heart to slow it.

               She couldn't exactly describe her dream (no, nightmare). It was vague and already fading from her mind the longer she stayed awake, frightened by it. But she knew one thing about it—it was of a past not lived.

               At least, not by her.

               Victoire glanced beside her, catching sight of Neville's chest falling and rising slowly, easily. Even his eyes did not twitch beneath his eyelids, he slept so peacefully.

               She breathed and reclined beside him. She reached out and held her fingers just above his eyelashes, tickled by their faint movement.

               Victoire wondered why she'd dreamt of wartime. That was Neville's past, not hers. But she pondered now the linked dreams of married couples and that there might be credence to them.

*139—Supplement*

                 With them, everything would be complete. At least, that was what Victoire was telling them.

               Lania felt skeptical. She was flattered, just as she was sure Justin was. But still… Lania and Dermot were married and had one son, Herschel, already, but they'd discussed it long ago: The godparents of their first child would be Mallory, his sister, and Curt, her brother. Their second child, should they have one, would have Mallory's husband, Carlos, as a godfather and probably no godmother, but… Lania shook her head.

               She knew James and Maria were Frédérique's godparents, and she was flattered. But Lania still believed that siblings should be the first pick for godparents.

               "Well, it's the belief of me, Dominique, and Louis that siblings are reserved as aunts and uncles. Close friends are godparents." Victoire said it all with a reassuring, soft smile.

               (Lania just didn't figure that, later in life, her goddaughter would also be her daughter-in-law.)

*140—Rust*

                 It had been a while. The Christmas break had been too long ago, Victoire had had to work on Valentine's Day and thus had been unable to see him, and now the Easter holiday was almost over.

               He was back from visiting his grandmother and now he hopped on one foot as he changed. "Grandmum won't mind if I don't see her again this holiday," he stated loudly.

               Victoire zipped by their bedroom on the way to the loo to fix her makeup. Her dress still hung open at the back. "Great! I already told Maria that I'm not free tonight, and Dominique is planning her Transfiguration lessons, so I'm good, too."

               "Perfect!"

               Then someone knocked on the door. Neville answered it, saw Harry and Ron who claimed to have "been in the area," and slammed it shut. His patience was already rusting away—he would have tonight with his girlfriend and nothing would stop that!

Remarks for—

Ch­131: I think this is the first time I've mentioned in this collection that James is a wandwright—a wandmaker. He's Ollivander's apprentice.

Ch132: A throwback to #5—Opening. :D I was kind of wondering how long Neville would put off the "Great Experiment" that is him and Vic. -w- Appropriately, the day I wrote this drabble, the song "It's Over" by Lee Hi came out; not only is it a great, unusual Kpop song, but it really fits this drabble! :O

Ch133: Their son makes an appearance! :') Cookies if you get the reference for his name. ;) Also, this was the drabble I wrote on the fic's anniversary, when I first started writing in my little notebook… Godric, so weird, to have worked on this to completion before posting any of it…

Ch135: Marielee~ -w- And mentions of Curt/Troy, yay! :'D (Some of you will recall them from my Jamestins…)

Ch136: A little similar to #101—Handle. And I hear you laughing, Morghen, because you have collarbones and I have necks.

Ch137: I gave him the middle name "Algernon," named for his relative, Uncle Algie. I think it works.

Ch139: -w- Influenced in part by #119—Cover. :3 The other OCs mentioned will be recognized by anyone who's read my 5th Jamestin, "All We Need Is Now," or subsequent ones.
