Is a dooting big brother.

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

HOME: Book 9 - CHAPTER NINE

MASTERLIST

As Veronica slowly opened her eyes, she realized how stiff she felt, like she hadn’t moved in weeks. As she sat up and stretched, she noticed Hermione and Penelope laying in two separate beds on either side of her, and her heart almost stopped. Penelope was just starting to wake up, and Madam Pomfrey was giving Hermione what she could only assume was Mandrake juice. When the matron moved away from the bed, Veronica got a glimpse of Hermione’s petrified body, and she knew what had happened.

Before the guilt could eat away at her, Veronica heard a gasp and footsteps running towards her before darkness was all she could see again. But this time, Veronica felt safe and at home. She knew who this was. She was the only one that ever got to experience this side of him, and she was honestly surprised he was showing any kind of emotion in front of other people, but Veronica could feel how stressed he had been. His whole body felt tense.

“You scared me half to death! Merlin, I’ve been so worried about you.”

Veronica pulled away, but he didn’t let her go too far. He kept her at arm’s length. “I know. I’m sorry Severus. I–”

Just then, the pair was interrupted by the doors to the hospital wing opening and a flame of redheads walked in. Snape quickly stood and told her he’d be back to see her later before slipping out of the infirmary. Veronica’s eyes widened as she couldn’t take her eyes off the Weasley’s; she hadn’t been expecting to see Arthur and Molly, and only then did she truly realize how much she missed them.

As Poppy pulled Ginny aside – only then did Veronica notice how dirty the girl was and how puffy her eyes were from crying – Molly looked over at her and gasped, quickly running over. Arthur was right behind her, and they both pulled her into their chests. They held her for a while before any of them said anything.

“Veronica, dear. We were so worried! When Ron sent us a letter and told us what happened, we came to visit right away with Bill and Charlie and–”

Veronica’s eyes widened as she cocked her head at them. “Charlie was here?” 

Molly nodded sadly. “He didn’t want us to tell you he came, but–”

“He’s right. I don’t care that he came to see me.” Veronica instantly regretted her tone; she hadn’t meant to be so harsh. Not with them. But she hadn’t realized how easy it would be to open those old wounds. Taking one of each of their hands in hers, she whispered, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean… I just… I’m sorry.”

“That’s okay, Veronica dear.” Arthur used his other hand to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear before cupping her cheek gently. “We know our son is an idiot. And he knows what he’s lost. But he still cares about you. A lot. We just wanted you to know that.” Before Veronica could interrupt, Arthur emphasized, “it doesn’t excuse his behavior, we know… but it’s the truth. He still loves you and was very worried when he heard, so he wanted to come see you.”

Veronica closed her eyes as she willed the tears to GO AWAY. She didn’t want these two to see her crying over their son. When she felt her tears finally subside, she opened her eyes again. “Thank you. For coming, I mean. I’ve really missed you guys.”

Molly used her scarf to wipe her own tears that were freely falling now. “We missed you too darling. And you know, just because you and Charlie don’t speak anymore doesn’t mean you can’t come to see us. He doesn’t come around very often, so you just send us a letter to tell us you’re stopping by and we’ll make sure he isn’t there. We just want to see you.” 

Arthur was nodding enthusiastically, and it made Veronica’s heart hurt. She really did miss them. They were practically her parents, and she hadn’t seen them in two years. As they basked in each other’s company for a moment, the doors opened again and in came Ron dragging behind him a lost looking Gilderoy Lockhart. Pushing him towards Poppy and Ginny and muttering something about a memory charm, Ron didn’t spare him another glance as he ran over and jumped on her. Ignoring his mother’s shrieks to be careful (“Ronald Weasley! You’ll hurt her!”), he hugged her so tightly, she felt he might just crush her ribs, but she didn’t care. She couldn’t imagine how hard it must have been for him with both her and Hermione petrified. And it was only at that moment that she realized she had no idea how long she had even been there.

“I missed you too!” Veronica chuckled. “How long have I been gone anyway?”

“Seven weeks!! But it’s felt like seven years!”

“We’ve been petrified for seven weeks!?!” A croaky yet unmistakable voice asked from their right.

“Hermione!” Ron yelled as he jumped off Veronica and ran over to her.

Veronica couldn’t help but smirk.

***

As Veronica sat at the head table and stared out at the students, she was so glad to be back. Harry and Ron had filled her in on everything that had happened while she lay petrified in the hospital wing, and while she wished she could have been there for them, she was glad they had been able to take care of themselves. Frankly, she was quite proud of them. And she was proudest of all that Harry had managed to free Dobby. She should have known the Malfoy’s were his owners, those evil gits. She couldn’t be happier that Lucius had gone home that day minus a house elf. And a few weeks later when he had been fired from his position as a school governor? That had made her happiest of all. That’s what you get for messing with the Weasley clan.

Watch List- English Language Movies (Latest Update Nov. 6, 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.

Because of your last question, I will try to be as civil as possible.

He made his student write an essay about how to kill a werewolf

Right before this lesson, Sirius breaks into the school, and Snape is convinced Lupin, his old friend, is the one who helped him inside. Snape thus suspected Lupin to be involved in a plan to abduct and murder Harry, possibly using his form as a werewolf. Snape's act was one of fear for the students, and perhaps of warning against Lupin.

We also must remember that Werewolves were part of the curriculum anyway, so Snape was not out of line as a teacher.

Plus he basically threatened to kill Neville's toad and took points when it didn't die

The way you phrase this suggests you think Snape wanted to kill Trevor. He didn't. Or else, why would he save Trevor's life by giving the antidote? Trevor became a tadpole thanks to Hermione's help. Tadpoles do not survive out of water. Yet Snape the so-called toad-slayer administers an antidote that saves its life.

What you have to understand is that Snape was trying to make Neville succeed in Potions. He used his toad, thinking it would push Neville to do better. In our standards, that's bad. In Hogwarts' standards? Children regularly mutate animals into objects and McGonagall once had Hermione, a cat-lover, basically kill kittens by practicing the Vanishing spell on them. Flitwick demonstrates levitation on Trevor, and Harry practices Accio on it. There is a lot of animal and creature abused portrayed in HP (particularly by Hagrid--yes, you read that right--and the Weasleys).

Snape immediately ensures Trevor survives; last year he brewed the Mandrake Restorative Draught that healed Norris, and in HBP he lets Buckbeak tear at him without retaliating. What Snape did was not okay, sure, but if you use that standard, then nearly all of the other characters are monsters.

As for Snape removing points: Hermione did disobey, and that's what he punishes.

His biggest fear is not [Bellatrix], it's Snape

And lucky him. Neville was able to easily defeat his "worst fear" (of the moment), as evidenced by him succeeding on beating the Boggart on his first two tries. Harry, Molly--they have serious fears, they cannot easily (or just not at all) banish their Boggarts. Hermione fails against her McGonagall Boggart. Neville smiles when he admits he's intimidated by Snape.

Should Neville have feared Bellatrix instead? She's locked up, she can't reach him. Does he even remember her? Does he know about her? Does he care that much? I reckon the threat was far away from his mind.

Similarly, should Hermione's Boggart be a Mountain Troll or a Basilisk? Should Ron's Boggart be his sister on the verge of death? Should every child who heard about Voldemort slaughtering their families have him as a Boggart?

Or is Lupin's confidence that only Harry can have a truly shocking Boggart an indication that none of thesd Boggarts, not even the Snape one, are on the level of what a Bellatrix Boggart could be, and that there was no need to expect that Neville would get her as a Boggart?

We see Snape getting bullied, but does that excuse him hating everyone and bullying his students?

Why it is technically Snape's right to hate anyone he wants, it does not indeed justify bullying people. Well, unless as a spy, but that's a different matter.

The argument you refer to is hardly used by the fans, because they know it's not true. Which is why there are other arguments on the table.

He really seems to hate Lupin yet Lupin was not involved in the bullying

Not only is Lupin an enabler (a Prefect enabler), making him as much of a bully as James and Sirius ("There are two kinds of evil people in this world: people who do evil stuff, and people who see evil stuff being done and don't do anything about it" -- Mean Girls), but the text suggests otherwise: "Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape and begd him to keep his abnormally large nose out of people's business" (approximate quote). PoA Lupin is, on his own, an interesting case of covert bullying and fake politeness, which you can explore in the Reddit essay "Veiled Fencing between Snape and Lupin" by @ashesandhackles . Snape had every right to hate Lupin.

Children do mistakes

They do children mistakes, like not doing homework or stealing candy, or even going too far away in the sea. Third degree sexual assault, attempted murder/manslaughter, borderline suicide-baiting, relentless bullying--these, my dear, warrant juvenile prison and expulsion.

You're also quick to cast what the Marauders did as children mistakes, but condemn Snape for insulting Lily in a moment of distress (for which he profusely apologized) and making stupid decision at the same age. Either we consider that children can do no wrong, and Snape is pardonned, or you agree that "they were just children" is an argument of bad taste.

And she saw the good in him later

Sirius and Lupin argue that Lily was deceived by the four of them. James hid the fact he kept bullying Snape. Why would he need to hide it from Lily, I wonder?

We are also speaking of a woman who trusted Pettigrew with her family's lives and could not fathom that Dumbledore once was Grindelwald's friend. Is her judgement to be trusted? Is James suddenly good because he got to fuck the vague Virgin Mary trope?

We know Snape held a dead Lily Evans in his arms after she died... so he basically stepped over his crush's dead husband to hold his crush while his crush's baby cried alone in his bed

I thought we were talking only about the books, not the movies?

Snape has no obligation to pay a modicum of respect to a guy who bullied him just because "he exists". Not even because he's Lily's husband--she certainly didn't mind that James was bullying her best friend.

Movie Snape craddled a dead Lily in his arms in a moment of grief. What, should he hold Harry at the same time? Can't the guy grieve for heaven's sake?

He also punishes Hermione for knowing the answer

Hermione talked out of turn three times and interrupted him twice, which is what he's punishing her for. She knew the answer? Great, though not a surprise from the know-it-all of the class. Is he thus obligated to let her spoil the answer everytime? Nope. In fact, that's exactly what teachers avoid. Hermione is not the only girl in her class. To let her spoil the answer (forcefully) everytime would be useless--he might as well give the lesson without ever questioning his students and basta.

He shames Hermione [about her teeth]

She quickly gets over it. And that's if we're assuming he didn't mean "I don't see any difference between what I told Goyle and what I should tell Miss Granger".

This is also great drama for one remark. Would you say the same for:

- McGonagall: “Longbottom, kindly do not reveal that you can’t even perform a simple Switching Spell in front of anyone from Durmstrang!” Professor McGonagall barked at the end of one particularly difficult lesson, during which Neville had accidentally transplanted his own ears onto a cactus.

- Trelawney: “I am sorry to say that from the moment you have arrived in this class my dear, it has been apparent that you do not have what the noble art of Divination requires. Indeed, I don’t remember ever meeting a student whose mind was so hopelessly mundane.” (Hermione, the Snape-defender, leaves the class after that)

- Flitwick: "Harry’s already Apparated,” Ron told a slightly abashed Seamus, after Professor Flitwick had dried himself off with a wave of his wand and set Seamus lines: “I am a wizard, not a baboon brandishing a stick.” (The Irish were once openly compared to apes, so that's in bad taste)

- Hagrid: “Yeh’ll do wha’ yer told,” he growled, “or I’ll be takin’ a leaf outta Professor Moody’s book... I hear yeh made a good ferret, Malfoy.” (A reminder that Hagrid is making fun of a kid's torture and threatening to perform the same)

Or are these okay because it's not Snape doing it?

Should we, perhaps, consider that what he said and did was mild considering the context? If you read the books, pay attention to other characters than Snape for once. Maybe you'll understand why the claims of him being a horrible character and definitely not a good person are put into question by fans even before the saga finished.

Can we also note that the spell "Sectumsempra" pretty much kills you. Which gives us an idea he was planning on using it on James.

"For enemies" indeed. When and why was Sectumsempra used in the books? Harry, when Draco attempted to Crucio him. Harry, to defend Dumbledore and himself against Inferi. Snape, to protect Lupin from a Death Eater. And if it wasn't Diffindo, Snape, on James, as James and Sirius are physically, verbally and sexually assaulting him once more, in public, because they were bored, for fun (and to get Lily's attention), mere weeks after Sirius almost got Snape mauled by a werewolf.

In HBP, Harry is surprised by this spell. He thinks that the Prince felt "like a pet turned savage". Snape was also compared to a pet animal in SWM, where he used Sectumsempra on James: a rabbit, and Sirius the hunting dog. It isn't far-fetched to think that Snape developed Sectumsempra after Sirius almost got him murdered and the administration covered the perpetrators while silencing Snape on the murder attempt; cementing the idea that the Marauders can do anything ln him, including killing him, and all they would receive is support and a slap on the wrist.

Imagine living your teenage years knowing that a gang of bullies have attempted to get you killed, still think your existence is a crime, keep on assaulting you, and that if something happens, you won't be defended.

I'd be bringing my pepper spray, shocker and hunting knife at school everyday.

Which is what Sectumsempra was: the equivalent of an insecure, regularly assaulted child bringing in a penknife to defend himself from a dangerous gang that seemingly prefers him dead, while the adults do nothing and no one, not even his best friend, can help him.

And yet... Vulnera Sanentur, from the same guy who created Sectumsempra. The guy who was worried about the state of his soul after killing someone:

"And my soul, Dumbledore? Mine?"

The amount of times students are scared of him/that he will do something to them shows he has performed actions like this before.

...no? I'm sorry but this is ridiculous.

The number of students who are truly scared of him amount to one guy: Neville, who grew to defy Snape (which Snape basically rewarded him for).

No one ever mentions that insane idea that child-Snape tried to kill James using Sectumsempra (as an act of bullying, no less). People like Sirius doubted he ever was a Death Eater. And you must know students can fear their teachers on other accounts than murdering people in their teens (and even on other accounts than bullying; some teachers are feared simply because of their status or because they are impressive, which Snape definitely was).

He was a brilliantly written character

I doubt you believe that, if you believe that Snape was such a 1D bad guy.

Here are my proof-based arguments regarding your opinions. Hoping this came out as polite and understandable (I am in the middle of a bout of insomnia, so excuse me if my transitions and explainations are neither fluid nor complete).

And people still say Snape was good..

Why I hate Severus Snape:

I will be using lots of evidence from the books so please don’t try to tell me something is not canon if you have not read the books. They are different. I also believe book Snape was worse than film Snape and that the films really downplayed his bad actions

This is only one of the times he proved how much of an idiot and horrible person he was.. like he made his students write an essay about how to kill a werewolf so that Remus would literally have to read about how each of his students would kill him.

Plus, he basically threatened to kill Neville’s toad (which he literally loved so much) and then took house points away when it didn’t die-

And we’re literally not even talking about the fact that Neville’s parents were killed by a woman who is literally alive and could go kill Neville as soon as she got out of Azkaban and his biggest fear is not even her, it’s Snape.

He was such a bad person.

So yeah, I know that James/Sirius bullied Snape when they were kids. We also know that Lily and Snape were friends at some point.

As well as that we know that he called Lily a mudblood. Proof:

So he was an asshole to Lily. And, we have to realise we don’t know everything that happened back when the marauders were at school. So we don’t know what happened all the time.

One of the only times we see James Potter is what Snape thinks of him, in his thoughts. Snape is obviously going to hate him. So everything he thinks about James will be about bad times.

We see Snape has been bullied, but does that give him the right to hate everybody and bully his students. Does that justify his actions? I am not, in any way, saying James is right in bullying Snape but Snape’s actions are not acceptable even if he was bullied.

Something else about him is the fact he seems to hate Lupin, and from what we can see, Lupin wasn’t really involved in the bullying:

Plus the fact that James was a child, again this does not justify his actions but children do make mistakes and we also know, in this scene, Lily is rejecting James and telling him to - simply - piss off. And she saw the good in him later, and from this we can infer that James would’ve changed/stopped bullying Snape. And yes, the damage was done but again, a bully in school cannot make you take it out on all of your students and downright ruin people’s lives.

And one of the things I simply do not understand is the fact that we know Snape held a dead Lily Evans in his arms after she died.. so basically he stepped over his crush’s dead husband to hold his crush (who he had called a mudblood before) while his crush’s baby cried alone in his bed.

He also hates Harry so much, more than other students, and we can only guess that this is because he is James’ son.

Yes, we also know that he does protect Harry a few times - but remember Lily was his mother. So he protected Harry because when he looked into his eyes he saw Lily? So he bullies Harry and only stops at the extent of Harry’s life - for Lily?

He also punishes Hermione for knowing the answer. If you have not read the book you won’t know about this moment. But in poa Ron says something I think defines it very well.

He basically asks a question and Hermione knows the answer. He denies her permission to answer. Hogwarts, specifically Slytherin, is about ambition. And she is smart and ambitious, shouldn’t he be encouraging her to answer??

On top of this he also shames Hermione:

In this scene he sends Goyle (the Slytherin) to the hospital wing and makes fun of Hermione + gives Gryffindors detention.

Can we also note the spell “Sectumsempra” literally pretty much kills you. He makes it for enemies. Which gives us the idea he was planning on using it on James.

The amount of times students have been scared of him and scared he will do something to them shows he is capable of terrible things towards students and he has performed actions like this before.

I apologise for the extremely long post but I want to express my feeling towards Snape (and with evidence) he was a brilliantly written character but a horrible person. What do you think?

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.

[rainydayhogwartsimagines]

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.
