[princess-of-the-corner]

crack fic idea: OP Izuku, except he’s in gen ed and just wants to be a househusband. (BakuDeku is already canon at this point)

Ha!

On one hand I can't really imagine Izuku going full house husband he's gotta be doing /something/ whether it's Heroics, Support, or even just base Analysis.

On the other hand.

This is the funniest outcome.

Most powerful motherfucker somehow. And he just. Doesn't really bother or care. It drives everyone a little bit insane when they find out. But ya know what he's happy with his choices!

There's never a bkdk falling out for some reason (maybe without Izuku interested in Heroics it doesn't get bad? Maybe their parents intervene early?). So they're just like "when we were six we got married on the playground our rings were made of woven flowers(which we still have tucked in a scrapbook) and our friend Tsubasa was the ordained minister so we call each other 'husband' and the literal second we're both legally able to do so we're getting for real married on paper'.

No one knows what the fuck's going on with those two because you still have Katsuki 'Great Explosion Murder God: Dynamight' Bakugo yelling at you meanwhile you just have Izuku next to him like :) just literally like

MORE HEADCANONS

Orsa and Timur sleep with a sleep mask on.

Viktor and Ilyana play video games together (and encourage their parents to join in).

Chimera noted her feelings for Kay before Kay came to the realization of how she felt about Chimera.

Ilyana and Barnard are besties despite not interacting too much; what is awkward silence to others, is comfortable silence with each other.

Ilyana and Tiffany can not stand each other. Tiffany tries to embarrass Ilyana when she can, but fails every time. Ilyana strains a smile when she has to interact with Tiffany.

Nashira and Timur often spar. Sieron watches them from a distance, rooting for Nashira.

Deidre, Chimera, and Ilyana enjoy having sleepovers and talk about their personal lives. It’s a manner of coping and venting about whatever is troubling them.

Laxus is in denial about Ilyana having a crush on Timur, so he often sends Timur away on important missions to keep him away.

Erza worries about her daughter pushing herself too much for the sake of living up to her “Fairy Princess” name. Jellal has similar concerns, but trusts that Kay can come to her senses when necessary, and if not, he will talk and guide her to inner peace.

Natsu loves his daughter to death and has coddled her a bit too much in the past, which led to Lunaria being bratty till she was humbled by Orsa and Chimera (multiple times).

The Redfox twins see Lucy and Juvia like their second mothers, while Pantherlily is seen as their gentle and trustworthy uncle. Jet and Droy are strange, yet kind, family friends.

Milianna has babysat Kay in the past. Kay would be elated whenever Milianna came over to watch over her. Milianna considers Kay dear to her and will protect her no matter the circumstance.

Gaur and Eris are good friends with Viktor, so much so that Viktor shares intel about Fairy Tail without realizing that information should not be shared (and vice versa).

Erik (Cobra) and Kinana love their son, so they show their love through leniency and giving Barnard a lot of freedom, which he doesn’t use much.

Lianne spends her time with her mother at Fairy Tail, but occasionally visits her father in Quarto Cerberus.

Happy tries to be wise with Lunaria, but it is not in his nature, so he ends up encouraging risky behavior.

Timur and Lunaria shared their first kiss with each other (accidental). No one knows about this kiss...yet.

I will come up with more headcanons! Please give me time to think of more OR please share your ideas with me!

Chapter Seventeen

The Return of Tom Marvolo Riddle

Genevieve led Tom up the stairs to her room, each step filled with unspoken words and memories. The door closed softly behind them, sealing them in a space that felt suspended in time. The room was filled with the remnants of Genevieve’s life during their years apart—books, trinkets, and keepsakes from a time when Tom was just a haunting memory.

Tom looked around, taking in the surroundings. His eyes were drawn to a photograph on the bedside table, a picture of the two of them from years ago. They were smiling, their faces radiant with youth and love. He picked up the scrapbook, a bittersweet smile playing on his lips. “I remember this day,” he said softly. “We went to Hogsmeade and spent the entire afternoon at the Three Broomsticks. You insisted on trying every flavor of Butterbeer they had.”

Genevieve laughed, a sound that was both joyous and tinged with sadness. “I couldn’t believe there were so many variations. You were so patient with me, even when I spilled Butterbeer all over your new robes.”

Tom chuckled, setting the photograph back down. “They were just robes. You were worth it.” He turned to face her, his eyes searching hers. “I still can’t believe you’re here, Genevieve. All those years I thought you were gone. How did you survive?”

Genevieve’s smile faded, replaced by a more serious expression. She gestured for him to sit down on the bed, and she joined him, their knees almost touching. “It wasn’t easy. After Dumbledore set the attack on me, I figured he wanted me out of the way but didn’t want to risk killing me outright. He imprisoned me, made it look like I had died. I was kept in a secret location, guarded and isolated.”

Tom’s hands tightened into fists. “Dumbledore… I should have known. He always had a way of getting what he wanted. I’m so sorry, Genevieve. I failed you.”

Genevieve reached out, covering his hands with her own. “No, Tom. You didn’t fail me. We were both victims of his manipulations. But we’re here now, together. And that’s what matters.” Tom looked down at their joined hands, his thumb gently stroking her skin. “You always were the stronger one, Gen.”

She smiled softly. “Even in the darkest moments, you always kept me going.”

Tom’s gaze lifted to meet hers, his eyes filled with a mixture of love and regret. “I became someone I’m not proud of, Genevieve. I did terrible things, all in the name of finding power, of defeating death. But none of it mattered without you. I lost my way…After our fight, I was going to tell you that I was giving it all up entirely…I was going to give up the meetings…everything…t-then you were there on the floor…I didn’t know what else to do.”

Genevieve’s eyes were full of understanding and compassion. “I know Tom, we both made mistakes. But we have the opportunity to start over. We can make things right, together.”

He nodded, his expression softening. “Together,” he repeated, the words a promise and a hope. “Tell me, Gen, what has happened so far?”

Genevieve leaned back slightly, her gaze distant as she recalled the past couple of months. “I was found by Harry, Ron, and Hermione, Hogwarts students sent by Dumblefore to defeat his creation.”

Tom furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Who?”

Genevieve sighed, “Lord Voldemort.” Tom’s eyes had widened, nearly out of their sockets. Genevieve looked at him before continuing, “Yes, I know about that. You made all the Horcruxes that you promised you wouldn’t.” She said bitterly.

Tom, gaping, and bewildered, “I-I truly did?”

Genevieve, understanding the situation, asked, “You can’t remember either can’t you? You truly can’t remember that you created the Horcruxes?”

Tom sighed, trying hard to collect his memories. “I can’t. I only seem to remember up to your death. I truthfully don’t remember anything else…like so much is missing. I can only recollect some memories at the moment.” 

Genevieve nodded, “I didn’t even remember much until I looked at the scrapbook. I’ve gained some recollection but there’s a lot I am still trying to piece together.”

Tom, understanding, nodded, “As if we were blocked from our own minds…and when you try to remember, but it feels empty.”

Genevieve, completely agreeing, said, “Exactly. There is probably much more that Albus did that we don’t know.”

Tom, bitter, replied, “Of course. He’s always tried to find a way to control everything…but…do you really mean that Lord Voldemort is real?”

Genevieve said sadly, “Yes, it’s true love. You did it.”

Tom, exhaled, with disappointment within himself, “I’m sorry Doll. I never meant to truly break my promise…but if he is alive, how am I even here?”

Genevieve smiled, “I found all of your Horcruxes. I remembered the ones that you had already made during our time at Hogwarts. Then, I realized you either had made more with items of importance to you. So for the last couple of months, I’ve had help from Harry, Ron, and Hermione to find them and we did…I studied my ancient magic, especially rune magic. Practicing to mend your soul again, bring you back to me.”

Tom smiled, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. “You were always the brilliant one. I’m so proud of you.”

She blushed slightly, a warmth spreading through her. “I had to be. For you. For us.”

They sat in silence for a moment, the weight of their shared history settling around them. Then Tom spoke again, his voice hesitant. “So, Voldemory? What’s your plan?”

Genevieve looked at him, her eyes filled with determination. “We defeat him. Tom, you and I both know him much better than anyone else..His plans…his weaknesses. We can end him as he is now mortal once I brought you back. I can’t do this on my own. I need your help Tom. Not only just to defeat him but I want to be with you again. All this time apart, I’ve been waiting for this day.”

Tom nodded, a sense of peace washing over him. “Okay. We’ll figure out the best way to bring him down, reveal the truth, and live in peace. As long as we are together, we can handle anything.”

Genevieve leaned in, resting her forehead against his. “I love you, Tom. I always have, and I always will.”

He closed his eyes, savoring the moment. “And I love you, Genevieve. More than anything in this world.”

The dining room was alive with the warmth of firelight and the murmur of conversation. Genevieve and Tom descended the stairs, hand in hand, their fingers intertwined as if to reassure each other of the reality of this moment. Tom’s black robes swayed with each step, a compliment to Genevieve’s dark blue attire. As they entered the room, all eyes turned toward them.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were already seated, the table laden with a hearty meal. Nagini observed Genevieve and Tom with an almost serene curiosity as they came into the room.

Tom took his seat next to Genevieve, his hand resting gently on her thigh under the table. He began to dig into his food with a natural ease that contrasted with the tension still lingering in the room. Harry's eyes lingered on Tom, filled with a mixture of curiosity, distrust, and confusion.

Noticing Harry's intense gaze, Tom looked up and met his eyes. "Is there something bothering you?" he asked, his tone even but with a hint of challenge.

Harry blushed and stammered, "No, I—it's just... sorry. It's just weird."

Genevieve laughed softly, her eyes twinkling with amusement. Tom looked at her, a question in his eyes. "What's so funny, Genevieve?"

She shook her head, smiling. "It's just... your bluntness. Your presence here is unsettling them." Harry cleared his throat, grateful for the interruption. "It's just strange for us to see you and not confuse you with Voldemort. He killed my parents, my friends... so many people I cared about."

Tom's expression softened with understanding. "I understand.  I am not proud of what I became. The beginnings of Voldemort started with me, yes, but I am not that person anymore. My soul is whole again, and I promise I will do everything I can to help you defeat him."

Genevieve added, "Tom is not Lord Voldemort now that his soul is whole. He is mortal, and that makes Voldemort vulnerable. Together, we can end this."

Hermione, ever the curious one, leaned forward. "Tom, how did you even learn about Horcruxes in the first place?"

Tom's eyes grew distant, as if recalling a painful memory. "It's a story that not even words can fully explain," he said softly.

Hermione nodded, sensing the weight of his words. "I understand."

Tom looked around the table, his gaze settling on each of them in turn. "How about I show you? Me and Genevieve's story."

Everyone's interest piqued at his suggestion. Genevieve smiled warmly. "There's a Pensieve in the other room," she said, standing up and gesturing for them to follow. They moved to the adjacent room, where an ornate stone basin sat on a pedestal, shimmering with a silvery liquid. Tom and Genevieve exchanged a glance, their hands still entwined. Tom took a deep breath, then placed his wand to his temple, drawing out silvery threads of memory. Genevieve did the same, and together they added their memories to the Pensieve. The surface of the liquid swirled, reflecting a myriad of emotions and events.

"Ready?" Genevieve asked softly, looking at the group.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione nodded, stepping forward with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. One by one, they leaned in, and the room dissolved into a whirlwind of memories.

[sunnixsunshine]

Eyyyyyy trolls ocs ref sheets >:) (Birch redesign btw! Might redesign Skip, too) imma put some stuff about em underneath the cut plus a line up of their height difference

They’re kind of like next gen snack pack? I dont have a good group name for em yet tho

Birch: Poppy and Branch’s oldest, therefore making them the heir to Pop Village. As an overprepper, you can always find Birch stressing over the flow of the party rather than enjoying it(if she’s hosting that party in the first place). But despite his ability to prepare— or over prepare— for any situation, their responsibility is always thrown into question. So to test his responsibility, Poppy assigns her the task of befriending and teaching Buzz the Party Crasher how to be nice and get along with others— which proves to be harder than expected.

Buzz: Having heard of the previous group of runaways and how free they lived, Buzz tagged along with the new emergence of the Party Crashers. They were successful in their run of 7 years before the Country Trolls put a stop to their tricks during an attempt to crash their hoedown, which failed because they caught on to the scout fairly fast. Buzz had no significant position in the group but did manage to get everyone to stand their ground in refusing to go home. As Poppy has dealt with previous Party Crashers before, she volunteers to help with the Country Troll’s situation of 17-24 year olds refusing to even leave their jail. Buzz has a strong sense of leadership but poor strategic skills. She doesn’t back down from a challenge and tends to charge in without prior thinking. Shes described to be a tough shell to crack.

Demi: Despite his very pastel appearance, Demi is a very big fan of hard rock, but still proudly parades his classical side by playing the saxophone, his very first instrument. When not partying, singing, or hanging with his friends, he’s overworking himself through practice in true classical style. He maybe always on the verge of collapse after a particularly long and hard practice sesh, but he’s always sure to be on time for whatever event he’s promised to go to, never the type to cancel or skip out on plans. His rock side shines best when seated behind a set of drums.

Wheaton: A lot like his dad Milton, he’s very kind and gentle— to critters anyway. His social interactions with other trolls could be worked on, especially when he intends to go into the medical field. Like anyone on his maternal side, he’s very strong and passionate about his workout routine. Although he tends to forget his own strength. His best friend is and always will be his twin brother Mouse, but according to him you’d have to hogtie him and string up like a piñata in order for him to admit this to Mouse’s face.

Mouse: When he was 8, he went to his first rave after being invited to a birthday party by a classmate and ever since he’s been a big fan of techno. He combined both pop and techno together and calls it electro-pop. He’s pretty chill going until you mess with one of his friends. Wherein his strength will show along with the rare showing of his temper. He’s a hopeless romantic. Whether or not she really does improve, Mouse vows he will never trust Buzz even if she saves all of troll kind.

Groovy Flo: New to Pop Troll Village, Groovy Flo is half funk/glitter [pop] troll desiring the need to learn about the other side of her family. Although her true desire is to bring back disco, having taken a fascination with the extinct genre after reading up on them. While taking to the “old fashioned” way of baking without the assistance of funk technology very easily, she hasn’t mastered scrapbooking, much to her dismay. She claims her highly accurate memory is thanks to her hours of reading history books. She has a kid sister back in Funk City and misses her dearly, her baby sister being her “best friend in the whole known universe”.

[forestwhisper3]

Welcome back to [Not Quite] Midnight Meditations, although tonight, we are surprisingly more or less on time (as long as the clock still says 12 I'm counting it as on time), where I share segments from the darker corners of my flash drive. As stated before, these are all ideas that held my interest for a bit but were left unfinished for one reason or another. It is very unlikely that they will ever be fully fleshed out, but I figured it would be fun to share them.

Continuing in order from the last post, tonight's segment is Digimon again. This one is based firmly in Gen 2 and is yet another Davis-centric fic, but the concept this time is that he turns evil.

I do remember enjoying the concept of evil Davis when I wrote this (and I will admit the idea still holds some appeal even now), but I also remember being rather put off by the execution of many of the fics I read that pursued this plot. A lot of them had everyone suddenly turn on him because of one small mistake, or he decided he was tired of being "second best" to TK. That always felt sort of lackluster and unrealistic to me, so I tried my own spin on it.

This idea didn't get as much attention as the last one, so it's considerably shorter, but I feel like it sets the mood for what could have been the rest of the story rather well. Anyway, I won't keep you any longer, so here it is.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I-…I think something's wrong with me."

"…Wrong how?"

"I've been hearing voices."

Ken rushed through the forest, the others hot on his heels, adrenaline pushing them past their normal limits. Inwardly, he was berating himself. He and Davis had both considered this possibility, no matter how reluctantly on his part, but Ken thought they might have had more time- that it might not happen because it was so unlikely…

Ken stiffened slightly while Davis grinned weakly. "Yeah, that's what I've been thinking too."

"…How long?"

"About a month now. It wasn't so bad at first- I thought it might have just been the late hours mixed with my imagination…but now…" Davis gave a deep, exhausted sigh. "I'm worried, Ken."

So he had ignored the warnings. He brushed off Davis's increasing weariness, his growing paranoia and jumpiness at the slightest things, and his increasingly frequent concerns that something serious was at work.

"We can't be sure that it's something to worry about yet," he countered a bit fearfully. "Maybe you just watched too many horror-"

"Ken. That's not it and you know it."

Davis's smile was so full of sadness and understanding that it made Ken tear up even while filling him with fury.

He had ignored it when Davis had started growing easily irritated and distant as well, although that wasn't the case with the others, who had finally caught on that something was happening. Not that they could have done anything by that point- the confrontation between TK and Davis was still a painful subject for all of them.

There was no ignoring it anymore.

"You're wrong! The dark spores were destroyed! There's no way for them to be affecting you!"

"Ken-"

"Don't! I don't want to hear it!"

Tai was the one who had found the letter.

It was as if Davis had known all along that Ken would never find the strength to admit that he was slowly losing his friend. Perhaps, in a moment of clarity, Davis had realized that it was something that they wouldn't be able to fix in time and wished to explain. Whatever the reason, he had somehow managed to sneak the letter into Tai's home and hid it away in Kari's scrapbook.

Davis went missing the very next day.

A long, tense silence fell. It was the sort of silence they hadn't felt between them since the early days of their friendship. After what felt like forever, Davis sighed and stood up.

"I need to head home. I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Sure."

He nodded and went toward the door, pausing once it opened. "…Just promise me you'll think about it."

Davis was gone before he could answer. Then again, he doubted he would have been able to.

Now, they had finally gotten a reading on their leader's digivice…but he was afraid of what they would find.

Every day, the digital world seemed to grow just a little bit darker. Any digimon that weren't at Ultimate level or higher would stay hidden, and there were whispers…

"Ken?"

The tentative voice brought him out of his thoughts. The others were looking at him in concern, but he couldn't bring himself to even pretend to be all right.

"It'll be okay, Ken," Kari tried to assure him, although the way her brows were furrowed betrayed her worry. "We'll get him back."

"Yeah," TK agreed. "Davis is tough. I'm sure he's fighting whatever's possessing him with everything he's got."

"You don't understand," he whispered, not caring at how his voice cracked. "He'd been fighting it for almost a year before he disappeared. The thing about darkness is its subtlety. It waits for the best times to strike, and it always goes for your weak spots. It's amazing that he's lasted this long, but even Davis isn't invincible. One slip is all the darkness needs, and then you're overwhelmed…"

"I hate to say this, but Ken's right," Matt cut in, expression solemn. "We've all encountered darkness in some way, and we all gave into it eventually. It's a testament to Davis that he held it off as long as he did, but we have to face the fact that when we see him, he won't be himself."

"You saw the changes," Tai added grimly. "The Davis we know would never act that way. All we can do is fight and hope we can reach him like he reached Ken."

Hesitantly, they nodded.

Still, they weren't prepared for how much their friend had changed.

Long Jetty, the Playground Rocket & the Space Age: Inspiring Future Coastie-Nauts

After many decades’ stationary on the launch pad, the iconic red, blue and yellow playground rocket of Long Jetty on Darkingjung country finally had its T-minus 3, 2, 1, LIFT OFF.

While not exactly heading for the blanket of stars we are familiar with on the coast, the rocket more humbly made its way along The Entrance Road, where it will be taken for what Central Coast Council (CCC) calls a ‘planned refreshment’.

Not so much a nip and tuck, more a paint job and bringing the rocket up to twenty-first century safety standards.

You can vote on the future look and design of the rocket until 5 April. The revamped rocket will return in June.

Before talking about design options and how to vote, let's take 'one giant leap' back and chat about how Long Jetty's rocket arose from the 1960s quest to land on the Moon – and how the rocket's return is an opportunity to inspire the next generation on the coast to reach for the stars.

Playground rockets – symbolic of the first space age

When Apollo 11 astronaut, Neil Armstrong, disembarked from the lunar module to take 'one small step' onto the Moon's surface in 1969, children were also disembarking from rocket ships onto the grass, dirt and even concrete of playgrounds worldwide.

Rocket ships – like the one in Long Jetty – were increasingly constructed in playgrounds from the US to the then USSR, symbolic of the space race between these countries to reach the Moon and capture the imagination of the next gen.

The first playground rocket was built in Blackheath in the early 1960s after John Yeaman, a town engineer from the area, visited the US and was inspired to recreate the iconic playground equipment, with the help of metal manufacturer, Dick West.

Space archaeologist, Associate Professor Alice Gorman (also known as Dr Space Junk), has been researching the significance of and maintains a database of these unique playground structures. Nearly 40 rocket ships were constructed here.

This period also saw the start of futuristic, space-inspired buildings and signage, known as Googie architecture. In the US, roadside diners in a hyper-modern style – think of the steel, neon and glass architecture from the cartoon, The Jetsons – sprung up to capture the attention (and dollars) of a new market: the car traveller.

Closer to home, the UFO-like The Shine Dome (or the 'Martian Embassy' as it is also known) was built in Canberra on Ngunnawal country. Home to the Australian Academy of Science, the design by architect, Roy Grounds, speaks to a technologically modern future.

Indeed, on Wiradjuri country, the Parkes radio telescope – now known as Murriyang, a name chosen by Wiradjuri Elders representing ‘Skyworld’ – was integral to televising the grainy footage of the Moon landing to over half a billion people worldwide.

Against this backdrop, countries from around the world were meeting at the United Nations to decide on the legal rules for the exploration and use of outer space. Lofty ideals on the exploration and use of outer space for the benefit of all, and to be used only for peaceful purposes infuse these laws.

Yet, the focus on outer space was subject to important critiques, considering the ongoing inequality and discrimination on Earth. The historical context of the Moon landing era cannot be overlooked. Civil rights movements during this era were pushing for the intersecting aims of racial equality, land rights for Indigenous peoples, gender equality and socioeconomic justice. Some of these sentiments in relation to the Moon landing were powerfully captured at the time by spoken poet Gil Scott-Heron.

The return of the rocket ship: an opportunity to inspire?

Along with the rocket refresh, CCC is looking to install an information board to ‘highlight the rocket’s life throughout the years’.

Let’s use this information board to not only talk about the local history of the rocket and how its symbolic of the first space age and the quest to reach the Moon, but importantly the return of the rocket ship can inspire the imaginations of the next generation.

A new space age is now underway. NASA is again working in cooperation with countries and companies across the world to return to the Moon and onto Mars. This 'Space 2.0' needs not only tech-minded people with science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills, but poets, artists and philosophers to ask the big questions.

What does a future in outer space look like? How do we imagine and make real an outer space for all? How do we envision new ways of being and avoid exporting terrestrial inequalities?

If you are asking: ‘Why care about outer space?’ One reason is that space technology helps us here on Earth. Satellites provide us with everything from images to help with weather monitoring and bushfire management to allowing us to speak instantly with loved ones next door or overseas.

So many technologies that we take for granted today had their origins in what scientists and engineers invented for outer space – from solar cell technology to freeze-dry food techniques to emergency thermal space blankets.

Let’s vote: the future design of the rocket

Fast forward five decades and very few of these playground rockets remain.

A council attempt to remove a rocket from a Hawthorn playground in Naarm, Victoria led to a petition garnering thousands of signatures. The rocket was saved and brought up to meet safety standards, and a series of jumpable boulders representing planets from the solar system were added. The rocket was re-opened in late 2022.

Fortunately, CCC is keeping the local icon and asking for resident views on the future design by April 5. The options:

(1) Keep it classic with only the necessary safety repairs; or

(2) Upsize the rocket with an extra slide and make changes to enable the top portion of the equipment to re-open.

Get voting here.

While partial to retaining the ‘classic look’ (option 1), this blog encourages CCC to look at other refreshed rockets such as the one in Hawthorn or Enmore Park to inform any revamped design for option 2, if not already done so.

Let’s hope the return of the rocket can inspire and fuel space enthusiasts – and potentially even a future local astronaut (or ‘coastie-naut’) towards a real life T-minus 3, 2, 1 LIFT OFF.

A friend of mine drew me as what she called a chibi. It's a work-in-progress. [An eleven year old blonde girl in glasses is smiling and flapping her hands. She wears a black, Hogwarts robe and a hairbow on top of her head. Written above her is "Lydia" in cursive and below her is "Scamander" written in cursive. Beside Scamander is a heart. Below Scamander is the hashtag #REDInstead. On the right is a puzzle piece in a circle crossed out. Above that is the phrase Stim Positive. Above it in a mobius strip aka the infinity symbol to describe the infinite possibilities. To the left is the phrase Compassion not cure and below that is the phrase People not puzzles.]

James Sirius and Alice II. at the Potter Household. Alice always found it funny to cling to James like a monkey. It started out at a Party where she was too lazy to walk but turns out it´s an extremely comfortable position. And James definitely didn´t mind having his girlfriend so close to him. 

Taken by James Sirius Potter on a cold winter night during christmas break. And yes, Alice was wearing James´ Hoodie.

Not requested, but it seems Alice and James are fan favorites, so im fulfilling your dreams. You´re welcome.

‘Molly!’ Lily ran down the stairs to welcome her cousin with a big smile. ‘I’m glad you came’.

‘Well, you said it was urgent, didn't you?’.

‘Yes, I need to show you someone I found yesterday’ She answered, holding Molly’s hand and starting running to the kitchen.

‘Someone?’ Asked the older redhead, following her and narrowing her eyes.

‘Yes’ Lily bounced in her place, pointing to the top of the kitchen table where a ginger cat was ‘Meet Tlufferton, it is male’.

The older cousin inhaled a sharp breath. ‘Oh gosh, Lils, he is beautiful’.

‘I made my dad look and found out the sex’. She said with a gleam of deviltry.

‘And of all the names you call him Tlufferton’.

'Yeah, my mom suggested it, and I love it!' Molly smirked, knowing her aunt’s creativity when it comes to names. 

‘Oh, I get it’ She replied before she erases her smirk. ‘You know you can’t keep it, right?’.

‘I know, I already have Fluffewiggy, but I wanted to help him’. Lily said with her lips set in a grim line.

‘We can do that and find him a family’.

‘Yes, I knew you’d help me, thanks!’ She screamed with a toothy smile.

Thank you for coming tonight, Rox. 

Of Course. 

I have something for you. Turn around. 

Mmmm, What did you do? 

Can’t a guy just buy his wife and mother of his children a random gift once and a while?

Not when it’s diamond this size.
