Keeping Up With The Malfoys E8
Harry, slowly waking up;: Huh, what happened?
Ron, trying his best to whisper: Hermione! Hermione! HERMIONE! FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, HARRY'S AWAKE!
Hermione: Why did you shout?! Now he's really awake. I'll get another Sleeping Potion.
Ron: don't leave me with him!
Hermione: Ron, just calm down and stay with Harry.
Ron: Nooooo!
Harry, after Hermione leaves: So, Ron… I'll pay you ten thousand Galleons if you let me free and help me get into Malfoy Manor.
Ron: No! I won't do that!
Harry: I'll give you ten pounds of chicken.
Ron: Deal.
Ron: *gets his wand and is about to cut the ropes binding Harry when –*
: RONALD WEASLEY!
Hermione: You almost let Harry free because of chicken?!
Ron: sorry, I guess
Hermione, pulling out her wand: Just for that, you deserve this too. Incarcerous!
Ron and Harry are binded together.
Hermione, taking Ron's wand: Sorry about this, Ronald, but it had to be done.
Ron, as Hermione leaves the dorm: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
At Malfoy Manor
Narcissa, at the front door: Lucius, keep Draco asleep! I'm heading to Hogwarts!
Lucius: Yeah, yeah, bye.
Draco: *snoring ferret noises*
Back at Hogwarts
Hermione, walking beside Narcissa: What are we going to do about them now?
Narcissa: I don't know. We need to know exactly how they act to know if this is serious or not.
Hermione: Trust me, Harry's case is serious.
Narcissa: The only way to see if it's the same with Draco is to ask the one person who keeps an eye on him.
They arrive at a door. Narcissa knocks and the door is swung open by none other than –
Narcissa: Severus! Just the person we were looking for! You see, the Mudbl– Granger and I are here to know how Draco acts in school, in you're Potions classes, with Harry Potter.
Snape: Oh, he's dreadful. Take a seat, I'll tell you about it.
Back at Gryffindor Tower
Ron: *waking up slowly* Harry? Harry?
No response.
Ron: HARRY!! HERMIONE! *tries to cut his binds but can't* HERMIONE! HARRY! HERMIONEE!!!!!!
Narrator: What happened to Harry? What does Snape have to do with anything? Did Harry escape? Will Ron be able to tell Hermione in time? Does the same go for Lucius and Draco? Did Draco escape? It all goes down in the final two episodes of season 1 of Keeping Up With The Malfoys

Please can you tell us about:
Madame Lestrange
Rigel Lestrange
Glory and Gore
And the marriage counselling one (the premise of this already has me in a chokehold)
This is very very long so I will put it under the cut. Thank you for the ask!
Ch.11 - Madame Lestrange Contrary to popular belief, Bellatrix Black was thrilled with her wedding day: the food was perfect, the music was perfect, the groom was perfect. In the whole history of weddings, there had never been one more perfect than hers. Or 1972. Bella & Rod's ridiculously expensive wedding day and all of its shenanigans, including but not limited to: a mopey and very drunk Rabastan losing his virginity, Bellatrix and Andromeda's last conversation, the Dark Lord's failure to RSVP and the trouble it caused, and (ofc) the wedding night *wink wink*
Ch.26 - Rigel Lestrange 1975. A very sad one, quite gory too and definitely not for the faint-hearted, but also one of my favourites to write because I've always been fascinated with Bellatrix's missed motherhood. (All my readers know what I think of TCC by now, and anyway, this story takes place from 1969 to 1981, so no Delphi). The day of her miscarriage.
Ch.39 - Glory and Gore 1979. Still unwritten. The story of the third time the Potters defied Lord Voldemort. It's basically a long battle sequence with a special focus on Barty, Severus and Rabastan (Alastor Moody is horrified with this new generation of Death Eaters). By reading Regulus' journals, Bellatrix realizes that the gold cup her Master entrusted her is a Horcrux. When he later summons her, she chooses not to tell him that she knows (Bellamort moment, idk if smutty or not yet). Rodolphus visits his mistress (who is NOT AT ALL a shameless self-insert, nooooo) to make amends for stuff he did previously; they make peace, but it's pretty clear that they are not going to last.
The Lestranges go to couples therapy A comedy; still unwritten but fully outlined.
Ch.1: The explosion 1996. The Lestranges are having yet another Earth-shattering row that just so happens to blow up almost half of Malfoy Manor. Narcissa and Lucius threaten to notify the Auror Department of their whereabouts unless they agree to go to therapy. They recommend a Diagon Alley marriage counsellor who worked wonders for them: she's discreet, will keep quiet for money and has a strong stomach. Bonus: they show up either Polyjuiced or with some other shitty disguise and are immediately found out.
Ch.2: Mr and Mrs Lestrange's marital problems General bickering in their second session, we get a look at the therapist's notes. They are the worst patients ever, but she takes them on as her personal project. Both of them hate her but they really don't want to end up in Azkaban again. Rabastan finds out they are going to therapy and immediately he tries to hijack their third session. He is quickly put in his place.
«Roood» Rabastan practically sang, plopping down onto the couch, right between the couple. «Bella. You didn't tell me the lady was a hottie». He winked at [insert name]. She did not look impressed. «Rabastan, I presume». «Oh, you guys! You talked about me! Wait», his tone darkening in mock horror, «did they do it in a weird way? While discussing their sex problems?» Rodolphus looked ready to murder him on the spot. [he proceeds to basically sexually harass her and cause a disruption to their therapy session] «I do, Rabastan. I do. I find you utterly fascinating» she said, staring at him over her glasses. «In your opinion, on a scale from one to ten, how much do you use sex and alcohol to numb the pain of an unfulfilling life, completely devoid of ambition and genuine connection?»
Ch.3: The Lord Voldemort Factor The Lestranges are absent from one meeting or another.
«It's important that you try to be present for these appointments without too much rescheduling, Bellatrix. It shows that you are making an effort for each other, that you care about the other person's time». «The only thing I care about is my Master's time!» «See? She always does this! She's flaky». «Who are you calling flaky?!» «We agreed there would be no name-calling». Bellatrix shot him a triumphant look. «And we also agreed there would be commitment».
Lord Voldemort inquires after them and finds out (either from a terrified Lucius or from a still butthurt Rabastan) where they are. He decides he has to see for himself. Our dear therapist is terrified, but then again his disguise is the worst one yet. Truly laughable. Voldemort has her cancel all her appointments for the day so that they can have a longer session (he desperately wants to be included). It's not like she can refuse.
«It would be my professional opinion that you try and find a balance, an arrangement that works for all parties. Something to satisfy Mr Lestrange’s frustration, Mrs Lestrange’s exhibitionist behaviour, and Mr... Um... the Dark Lord's need to be the centre of attention». «We murder Rodolphus?» «It would be my professional opinion», she straightened her spine, «That you have a threesome».
Ch.4: Yet another satisfied client I'm still not sure whether I want them to divorce or not lmao. What I do know is that there will be a plot twist. Let's just leave it at that.

Dude I never knew I needed to read this… now that you say it it makes perfect sense!
Ugh, I hate her sm.
And the fact that she portrays Slytherin kids who’s worse actions were bullying as “ugly” and “Harry’s worst enemies” and so on, after she literally gave the Slytherin house the traits cunning and ambitious… ugh I hate that too. Slytherin is so much more than the house of ugly, stupid monsters who did nothing good in the life. I feel like she made that house only to have somewhere to place the characters she didn’t like. Draco Malfoy, for example. She had such an opportunity to give him a redemption arc, but nOoOoO let’s give that shit to SNAPE! And it wasn’t even a good, acceptable redemption arc. “bUt He WaS bUlLiEd As A kId-“ and do you know who also was bullied as a kind, and abused, and turned away, and almost killed, BY ADULTS?? HARRY! And as soon as Harry raises his voice or so a bit whiny, people go “omfg I hate him he’s so ungrateful he’s the worst”. BITCH YOU LIKE SEVERUS SNAPE!
If Lily could protect Harry with her love, then why couldn’t James protect her with his love?? He sacrificed himself too 🥴

Not my GIF, creds to original owners
Drink Me Under
Requested by Anon: ‘Hi do you think you could do Reader x Sev head cannon about them drinking and then sleeping together thanks’
Pairing: Severus Snape x Reader
Words: 1k
Warnings: SMUT, NSFW, kissing, swearing, explicit content, penetration,
- it’d started at the most recent staff party. You and Severus had both dared each other to see who could drink as many shots of fire whisky as possible before passing out
- it turned out, you’d both downplayed the effects the liquor would have on you, because instead of knocking you both out, it awakened the two of you and ignited a fire in your chests
- your fellow professors could see the tension between you two and how clingly you were to each other. It was weird seeing Severus so close to you but they’d had an inkling that he’d been interested in you for a minute
- that was further proven when you two were pulling on each other to leave early. You grabbed his cloak and walked backwards while you dragged him with you. No one else in the room mattered except you two and getting to either one of your rooms to get your clothes off. And quickly
- before the door could fully close, the two of you were kissing roughly on each other, grabbing at any fabric of clothing either of you could get a hold on
- Severus had yanked your head back and kissed up your throat, biting every possible piece of skin. You’d ran your hands up his chest and pushed him back. You attempted to get on your knees for him, but he’d stopped you
- you thought he was going to stop you completely, tell you to get off him immediately and to never let this happen again, but he’d grabbed your hand and bolted back to his chambers, ready to get you naked and underneath him
- when you’d gotten to his room, he forced your body up against the door, moving underneath your arm to push it open. He’d quickly lifted you and tossed you on to the bed as he watched your body bounce and you giggle from the interaction
- you both hurriedly undressed and without needing anymore reason to, he pushed into you, hissing at how tight you were.
- he’d started to send words of praise and compliments to you, making you writhe under him even more
- “I couldn’t stop thinking about how good you’d feel around me.” He thrusted harder into you
- “Fuck, Y/n, your cunt is squeezing me.” He lifted your leg for a deeper feeling. “You’re a whore, swallowing my cock to fill you up.”
- both of your legs had been placed on his shoulder now, “The way you feel beneath me makes me want to lose it. I just can’t get enough.” He drilled into you now
- “Your pussy is fucking perfect,” he grabbed your breasts for leverage as he fucked you, gripping them whenever his thrust slowed. “I’m going to show you who owns this cunt.”
- with the way he was rutting into you, you couldn’t utter a single sentence, let alone a word to respond. Your moans were enough for him, you sufficed, because he hadn’t asked you to speak (just yet at least) and you were fine with that
- your pitch went higher when he’d started rubbing your clit furiously, passionately kissing you, mixing his tongue with yours and swallowing your whines
- you felt yourself getting closer, his hips were moving too well, his thrusts were perfect, and his pace was unmatched, you couldn’t help yourself. He felt your body tensing up and slowed his speed down immediately, prolonging your release
- “Nooooo,” you whined. “Fucking hell, speed it up!”
- then he stilled, having too much control over his intoxicated body and yours, “How badly do you want to come?” He asked you
- you moaned underneath him and tried to move... but he wasn’t allowing that. You’d tried again, and when he slapped your thigh harshly, you decided to try and answer him, “So badly, Sev. Choke me, pull my hair, bite me, anything dammit!”
- his smirk was all you needed to see to know he was about to be relentless, “I’m going to make you forget your own name by the time I’m done with you”
- then he fucked you like this would be the last time his cock was going to be buried deep into not only you, but any other woman after. With every hard, fast jerk, the tip of his cock pushed against your cervix, pleasure and pain mixing together
- your body tightened again, going nearly stiff, before your hips started to buck wildly against him, faster than he was moving, and it threw him off. He leaned onto your body and wrapped his arms around your shoulders to go impossibly deeper, effectively making you nearly pass out
- your orgasm was glorious, and somewhere in your pleasure induced mind, you remembered to thank Merlin for blessing you with such an amazing night and feeling, both from the man you’d been wanting for far too long
- he followed right behind you and you felt his cock twitch before it spazzed wildly in you and coated your walls, giving you a warm feeling in your cunt and chest, making you release a tired smile
- Severus fell beside you and brought you with him. He moved your exhausted body closer to him and brushed your hair off of your sweaty forehead, kissing both cheeks before speaking to you
- “What’s your name, love?” He kissed your lips now, biting and pulling the bottom one with him
- you tried to remember your name, you really really did, but you just couldn’t. Your body felt like it was floating and as much as you tried, you couldn’t remember your name.
- “Severus?” You wanted it to sound like an answer but it came out as a question
- “hmm?” He looked down at you
- you shook your head, “No, my name is Severus”
- that genuinely made him laugh. You started to laugh too but you were confused and your expression made his body shake harder with amusement
- “Not quite.” he chuckled. He flipped you on top of him and caressed your waist, looking at you hungrily. “Let’s see if I can help you reclaim your identity.”
- you were about to respond but he’d interrupted your sentence and thrusted into you. Your body rocked to the side and you put your hands on his chest to steady yourself
- now it was your turn, and your devilish smirk told him you had a lot in store
————

👩🏭 ✨ 🧠 (sorry if you’ve already done these!)
Hi Lauren!!! Thanks for the asks! 😄
👩🏭 If one of your fics was going to get you arrested, which one and why?
Without question smile with sweet surprise. Pretty sure it's the most questionable thing I've ever written.
I've written some pretty violent and morally objectionable subject matter, but I think with smile being so purely self-indulgent...and also extremely questionable...it has to take the cake!
Like...is it Take Heed, Dear Heart with all the violence and death?? Nope! Is it The Mirror or Teardrop in Your Palm with all the non-con? NOPE. It's the Snarry fic that features Stepdad Snape and it's so, so wrong and I'm enjoying it way too much. And I have 0 shame about it.
✨ Choose three adjectives to complement your own writing.
I answered this one here!
🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?
Oh nooooo. Hmmmm. I have too many open WIPs, I should not even contemplate ideas I've not properly started yet. 😂 I do have thoughts of a cute no Voldemort AU where Harry is famous for Quidditch and Quidditch only! And him deciding to romance a Severus who is a renowned potions master.
Also very vague thoughts of a Ginny/Gwenog Jones fic simply because I need that ship to exist. They meet through Quidditch (are they on the same team? Opposing teams?? Undecided.) It really is just me wanting more fics with Gwenog to exist and needing this ship to exist.
But first...I must finish Snarry-a-Thon!

Alchemy: Magic Vs. Science

Primary Characters: Edward Elric, Severus Snape Additional Tags: Crossover, Teacher!Edward, BrOtp Edward/Severus. Sassy beyond measure. Series: Part 1 of 9. Summary: Magic and Science, are they the same or are they completely different? It just takes one person to point out all up and downs. Along with breaking the stereotypes that come up with being a wizard, alchemist and most of all being human. Thank you, @amynchan! D/C: I do not own Harry Potter or Fullmetal Alchemist.

“English and Edward’s accented voice.” “Amestrian or another foreign language.” “Written notes.” ‘Thoughts.’ First Name: Informal Last Name: Formal (Or used to annoy others)
Christmas day.
A day to be around friends and family, being around people you love and care for. To wake up fully energized at the prospect of running over to the fully decorated Christmas tree to open presents. Once that was said and done, go outside and play in the snow. To have snowball fights, build snow forts and perhaps a game of Quidditch. Then go back inside to sit around a fireplace to drink hot chocolate, play Exploding Snap or Chess.
Right now, eight Alchemy students prefer to sleep in as much time as they could before their day could start. All of them are sleeping in a room in the Military Barracks in bunk beds. The room was usually used for Military personnel that do not have a home in Central City and stays in the Barracks when on duty. Their instructors are given their own rooms but would rotate when making rounds to check on the students. The only one that remained awake throughout the entire night is the head of this Field Trip.
He was too busy decorating a decent size pine tree with decorations he had packed up in his suitcase with the help of the Mustang Unit. Edward picked up a giant mug of coffee and took a deep gulp of the bitter drink. Standing there with the said mug in one hand and another on his hip as he took in the sight in front of him. A decorated pine tree standing in the corner of the room, multiple presents underneath it and the smell of apple pie filled the air. About a couple of hours ago, multiple owls flew in and dropped out present after present for his students, Rolanda, Quirinus, and too much to his surprise, Edward also got a few gifts. Every present is placed under the tree to surprise everyone else once they step into the room for breakfast.
"What exactly is this thing again?" Jean Havoc asked once he finished decorated the tree.
"It's a type of holiday tree." Edward responded with a shrug.
"Well...I hope they like it." Jean shrugged his shoulders, he wasn't going to argue with the other's plans. This just showed a whole other side of Edward, something many would have thought he does not have. "It strange, but...let's just hope they like it."
"In the Grand Hall of the school, they have one that nearly touches the ceiling filled with... magical... decorations and it looks whimsical. This might not match up to it, but I hope it is enough for them." Edward explained, he finished his drink and slammed the mug on a table when he felt his tongue burn due to the hot liquid. "Ugh...my tongue...I need to go wake them up before they start wandering around and get lost. Go see if Mrs. Hughes needs anything."
"Got it, boss."
Edward rubbed his face with both hands to ward off any sign of sleep. He hoped despite the fact his students are going to spend their Christmas in a Military Barracks, away from everything they know, they have a good time. Telling them his past with a Military was rather...not awkward, not tense but draining to tell. The result is his students believing he was some sort of Magical Police Officer. Auror? Eh, something like that.
A Magical Police Officer... Nah, sounds too much work.
-.-
Edward walked down the hall that headed towards the rooms his students and fellow instructors. He stood in front of Rolanda's room and was about to knock on it when it opened see said person fully dressed. The Alchemy Teacher took note at how Rolanda is wearing a fancier set than her typical robes, but not over the top and did not have on a robe or hat. She still looked a bit out of place, but at least without the robe, she won't appear completely out of place. In the Quidditch Instructor's arms is a basket filled with small presents wrapped in shimmering paper and ribbons. "Morning."
"Good morning, Mr. Elric." Rolanda responded with a nod, she stepped out of her room and closed the door behind herself. "Have you awoken the students?"
"I was going to wake you and Quirinus before we woke them up and get them ready for today. I have a surprise ready for everyone?" Edward explained with a grin, he and Rolanda walked down the hall to the Muggle Studies Professor room.
"Don't tell me... you have a surprise Christmas Party planned?" Rolanda asked, she raised an eyebrow at Edward when he remained quiet. She only shook her head with a slight shake of her head. "Of course, you did, how did you manage to pull that off with your superiors?"
"I er... My boss is a softy and I am the one that is paying for everything." Edward deadpanned the last part. He stopped in front of Quirinus door and knocked on it. There was a slight shuffle from inside the room before the door opened. What Edward saw made his jaw dropped in horror and shock. Edward could not even describe what he is looking at and even Rolanda is shaking her head Quirinus appearance.
"R-ready?" Quirinus asked, he was about to close the door behind himself when Edward pushed him back into the room. "W-what, are yo-you doing?"
"There is no way you are walking around here wearing that! Wear your regular outfit without your robe." Edward snapped at the older man, he shut the door to Quirinus room and hit the door to get his point across. "Whoever taught you about MuggleFashion has no taste whatsoever."
Edward turned his head over at Rolanda with a questioning look. "And this guy is supposed to be the Muggle Studies Professor?"
"The Magical Community is completely cut off from the Muggle World, this tends to happen due to that reason." Rolanda stated with a pinched expression.
"Even though I had a questionable taste in fashion, I would never stoop that low to wear that!"
-.-
Edward hid his grin at the looks of joy his student gave when Rolanda handed each of them their presents. Each of them received a small box of sugar candies in a decorated tin that had an image of a Golden Snitch flying around the tin. The students are wearing their uniforms, minus their robes and hats. At least their uniforms looked normal here in Amestris compared to what Quirinus was originally going to wear. Edward still cannot get that image out of his head. "We have a busy schedule ahead of us today, very busy day."
"What are we going to be doing today, Mr. Elric?" One of the student's asked.
"I will explain everything once we finish with our breakfast." Edward explained to the student, he along with everyone else was walking down several hallways to their intended location. Several soldiers that they passed by looking at the group with curious eyes but that was replaced with looks of respect and awe at the sight of Edward. The students, Rolanda and Quirinus wondered about the looks and the salutes that were shot at the Alchemy Teacher's way.
"Little brother!" A high pitch squeal filled the hall and the sound of rapid footsteps caught everyone's attention. The only one that did not seem surprised was Edward, he simply turned to face the direction where the squeal came from. Down the hall is a pig-tailed sandy blonde girl running up to them with her hands extended out.
Edward extended his arms out and braced for impact when the girl launched herself into her arms. He swung her around and their laughter filled the hall. Once he stopping spinning them around, the girl went a thousand miles an hour and every occasion, Edward would nod or just smile at her. Once the girl slowed down, Edward placed her down back on the ground and patted her on the head.
Louder footsteps came down from the same direction the girl came from. Looking over, everyone saw two men running down the hall with looks of complete distress. They stopped in front of Edward and the little girl, completely out of breath. They explained something to the Golden Blonde before he waved them off and they ran off in the same direction they came from. Edward scratched his head while he looked down at the girl, who was still smiling at him. With a sigh, he waved a hand towards his class direction. "This is my class, I am a teacher at a school in a different country, Elicia."
"You? A teacher? Hahaha!" Elicia giggled humorously at the notion of Little Brother being a teacher.
Edward pouted, why does everyone laugh at the thought of him being a teacher? Dammit! He hasn't killed anyone yet or maimed anyone for that matter. His students are learning something without the fear of being getting their asses handed to them. Nooooo... it's a flipping joke to everyone that knows him. "Why does everyone keep laughing at me whenever I tell them that?"
"It's funny~" Elicia continued to giggle at the thought.
Edward only shook his head, he motioned for the little give him his hand. "Come on, I'll take you to your mom."
"Okay, little brother!"
"Little brother my..." Edward grumbled under his breath, he looked back at his class and fellow instructors. The students were whispering among themselves about the scene before them. This is a completely new side of their teacher. Is she related to him? It was obvious by their interaction, they know each other to the point of the Alchemy Teacher acting like a doting older brother or even a father. "This is Elicia, the daughter of an a...good friend of mine."
Without saying another word, Edward continued his way to the surprise location. Well, he would nod or mutter something that went along with whatever Elicia was saying to him. The chatter stopped when they stopped in front of metal double doors. On top of the doors is a sign that said, 'Dining Hall' in Amestrian and a poster taped on the door too. Edward turned back to give his class a devious grin. "Here we are..."
Edward opened the door and motioned for everyone to enter. The students saw it was a dining hall, only having the minimal required items and furniture for such room. When their sights landed on the far corner of the room, their jaws dropped. Right there in the corner of the dining hall is a Christmas tree with piles of presents surrounding it. The two tables were pushed together to make one long table and had plates of food on it. There was a woman wearing an apron and oven mitts, holding what appears to be a pie. She smiled at the newcomers as they entered the room. Elicia let go of Edward's grasp and ran over to her.
"Even though we do not celebrate this holiday, all of you do. So... uh..." Edward struggled with his words and made it a point to not look his students. He understood what the holiday means, especially what it meant for his students. Even if the trip is for them to get away from the Magical World and dammit! He wants to make sure they have a decent holiday. Especially seeing and reading in between the lines about his student's lives. "Go do... whatever you normally do."
Without another word, Edward's students ran over to the tree to see what they got. One or two of them hung back and hesitantly approached the others. They ran once their fellow classmates yelled at them when they state there are gifts for them under the tree.
"It is not exactly a party but...it will suffice." Rolanda stated to Edward.
"H-how long h-have you pla-anned this?" Quirinus asked.
"When the trip was approved. I had Zefferus pack the decorations and sent a letter to my superior if he could help me make this happen. He agreed after I told him I would pay for it..."
"You sound like you don't like the man?" Rolanda asked, her eyebrow twitched slightly.
"...It's a long, long... long story." Edward sighed, he scratched the back of his head. He headed over towards the table filled with food. "Come on, I am hungry!"
-.-
"Hmmmm... Pie..." Edward hummed in content. He had just said his temporarily good-byes to Elicia and Mrs. Hughes before they left with a promise of seeing them again before he returned to Great Britain. Glancing over at his students, Edward saw that all of them are eating and looking over their gifts. The only gifts that were left under the tree belonged to him, Rolanda and Quirinus. All in all, it appeared to be a good Christmas in his opinion.
Well, it was until the doors slammed open and Edward did not bother to hide his frown. Everyone sitting around the table looked over to see General Roy Mustang. The General is grinning manically as he headed towards their table. "Good morning everyone, I hope you had a good night rest."
"Ugh...." Edward bemoaned, he ate another spoonful of apple-pie. It no longer tasted the same as it did like the previous bite. "Go away...I am trying to enjoy my breakfast."
"What was that, Fullmetal?" Roy asked, his expression stern as he stared Edward down. This made Edward's students and fellow instructors nudge away from the possible upcoming fight. There was clear tension in the room that started to build up and... are those flames and lightning in the background?
Edward took in a deep breath, berating himself. He wondered is it worth acting like the perfect soldier to keep up appearances. The last thing he needed is his students believing the Amestris Military are a bunch of idiots or worse... have them look like their Ministry. Then again, the last thing he needed is for them to fear the Military to the point of making them fear Alchemy. There are so many pros and cons to the whole situation. Seeing as Roy and the Mustang Unit are going to be the ones representing Amestris during the whole negotiations between Amestris and Magical Great Britain, might as well show them nothing is to fear. "Could you stop calling me that?"
"You will always be dubbed as such, I have the paperwork to back me up." Roy tutted Edward, he reached over and grabbed an entire pie. "Once you are down here take your class to the Library. Captain Hawkeye will be waiting there for your arrival."
"By any chance, has Grumman pass any laws since I've been gone?"
"No... You know what... the entire unit has asked me that minus Hawkeye. What do you know?" Roy asked with a critical eye.
Edward popped another spoonful of pie into his grinning mouth. "I don't know...Why don't you go eat your pie...alone."
"You're just jeal... This would have sounded better if you weren't engaged to your mechanic." Roy muttered under his breath before he left the dining hall.
-.-
Edward hesitantly scanned a brightly wrapped box in his hands. He slowly opened the package to reveal a bronze tea set decorated with sapphires. There was a card inside the teapot and Edward took it out with an eyebrow raised. Once reading over the card, the Golden Blonde let out a soft chuckle. Filius had sent him and his fiancé a tea set. 'Tea...hm... I have to get him something.'
Once packing the tea set back in its box and putting it in his suitcase, Edward picked up another package. He reached for another present that was wrapped in emerald green and silver stripped wrapping paper tied around in a green ribbon. One guess on who sent him that? Edward kept the present at an arms distance in case it might go against him. Once the wrapping paper was removed and opening the box that contained the gift, Edward peeked inside to see a bottle of firewhiskey and two decorated drinking glasses. "I like...I like this very much."
Edward stuffed the present into his suitcase with a chuckle. He picked up his coat, suitcase and headed out towards the door. Once he gets some alone time, Edward would have to do something shopping. The moment he was about to turn the doorknob, the Golden Blonde reached into the collar of his coat and pulled out a folded piece of paper. 'I have to do this too.'
-.-
"This is it... The National Central Library." Edward announced to his class as they walked up the steps to said building. He ignored the curious looks and whispers, especially if they were giggling females that kept blowing him kisses. Clearing his throat once he stood on the top step, he looked down at his class with a knowing look. "This is the nation's largest literary repository and contains texts and reference materials collected from all over the nation and throughout Amestris history. It is separated in several branches, some are open to the public while others are only open to the Military with proper ranking and State Alchemists..."
Edward glanced over at main entrance of the library, frowning. The library had gone over a complete makeover once Grumman was put into leadership and him putting Edward to rearrange the place while his brother recuperated. Several restrictions and bans were lifted on certain topics, take Alkahestry for example. The topic of human transmutation is something that and several others are still iffy about it, one hand it is to warn other or to get that idea into someone's mind for them to try. The one place that truly changed is the branch that the State Alchemist mainly used. There is a hidden section that showed the complete history of Amestris from a different point of view. The only few know of that location and will only be told if it is necessary to ensure history does not repeat itself. Still, even with the changes, it still felt the same.
"Mom! Is that him? The Fullmetal Alchemist?"
"Not so loud, Selim. Yes, it is him."
A shiver ran down Edward's spine, that voice. That voice sounded so familiar and it irked him to no end. He slowly turned around to see a very familiar boy being held back by Mrs. Bradley. She looked up at the same time Edward looked over and caught his eyes. The older woman shot him an apologetic smile when Selim managed to escape her grasp. She mouthed an apology when her son ran over to him.
Edward froze when Selim latched himself onto him, he clenched his hands onto his side to prevent himself from doing anything to the... child. A three-year-old child that is looking at him like some sort of hero, far more different than the first time he met him some years ago. Taking in a deep breath, Edward grinned at the kid and loosened up a bit. Just a bit. "Hi."
Selim gasped out, his eyes widen in shock before a look of complete admiration overtook his expression again. The fact the kid's eyes are sparkling was sort of helping his case with Edward. His smiled so widely that it made Edward's cheeks hurt just to look at him. His hero just said hi to him. To him! "Coool!"
"Mr. Elric sure is popular."
"What makes you say that?"
"This is like the hundredth persons that hugged Mr. Elric with an excessive amount of sparkles."
"You're overexaggerating."
"People yes. Sparkles...not so much. That is in the thousands."
"...So much sparkle..."
"What is it about this place that has people...sparkling!"
"For your own sanity...do not ask that question."
All of Edward's students, plus their professors, turned around to see a woman dressed in an Amestris Military Uniform standing next to them. She stared up ahead of them to see an exasperated Golden Blonde and his adoring fan. The woman cleared her throat loud enough to catch Edward's attention. "Colonel Elric, are you ready?"
"No...help? Please? Please? Please? Please..."
-.-
"Like I said before... The National Central Library has multiple branches, this is just one of them." Elric said in a low enough voice to not bother anyone else who is using the library for whatever reason but high enough to be heard by his class. He leads them toward the back of the building. "The one we are currently in is primarily open for the entire public."
"Mr. Elric?"
"Yes?"
"If we are studying alchemy, shouldn't we use the one that is open for State Alchemists?"
"What we are going to do today does not involve us going into that Branch."
"What exactly are we going to do?"
"All of you will see soon enough." The Alchemy Teacher grinned at his student with a devious grin.
"My, my... I would have never thought of you becoming a teacher. Considering who your teacher is..."
Elric grumbled under his breath, his cheeks turned pink in embarrassment. "I was bribed..."
"They have a library, don't they?"
"..."
-.-
"What is wrong with his face...?"
"He looks like he just came out of a potion's accident."
"A very terrible accident."
"It is rather rude to talk about someone that is standing right in front of them..." Elric whispered to his whispering students with a stern look. Said students froze in their spots at being caught, well they weren't exactly being quiet either. All of them are in a secluded room that looked like a classroom with a couple of chalkboards. Writing on a chalkboard is an older man in his late fifty's, wearing a lab coat from what Professor Quirrel once stated, and his most notable characteristic is that his face is disfigured beyond recognition. Mr. Elric and Captain Hawkeye did not even flinch at the sight of the old man. If anything, Mr. Elric and said man appeared to be good friends. "For your information... he knows English."
"You just took the fun right out of everything, Edward." Dr. Tim Marcoh grunted under his breath, continuing writing seemingly random things on one of the chalkboards.
"I would say I am sorry, but I am not." Elric snickered at the older man, he passed out several packets of papers to his students. One by one, each student glanced through the packet wondering what exactly was given to them. It appeared to be recipes, information on flowers, plants, recipes, and other random things. Nothing was making sense to any of them. Once the Alchemy Teacher stood in front in front of the room and stared at his students expectantly. "This is Doctor Tim Marcoh... A former State Alchemist, the Crystal Alchemist."
The students sat up in their seats, their attention completely on the Crystal Alchemist. This is will be the fourth person they had met that has or had the title of State Alchemist. The first one will be their teacher, Fullmetal Alchemist, then that half-naked man back at the desert, Strong Arm Alchemist, their teacher's superior, Flame Alchemist and finally the man in front of them, Crystal Alchemist. The only issue they all have is the fact none of them had seen any of them perform alchemy. None what so ever. Perhaps that will change soon.
"Dr. Marcoh will help you figure out those packets I just passed out. Doc...they are all yours..."
"...You are going to leave me here with them, aren't you?"
"I need to run a couple of errands around the city...I'll pay you back somehow."
"...Fine. Go."
"With that said...do not do anything I would not do."
"That is a very short list, Mr. Elric..."
-.-
"We will be leaving Central in two days and take a train to Resembool... Don't worry, Mustang has people patrolling the train stations and the tracks... Yes, I have that... What do you mean Xerxes did that?... Ugh... Stupid owl... Sorry, I'll get you a new one... Winry?... have an apple ready for me?... I'll see you in three days." Edward hung up the phone with a soft sigh. He ran a hand through his hair, a small smile played on his lips. Edward was about to walk off when something caught his attention at the corner of his eye.
Slowly turning around to see what exactly caught his attention. What Edward saw caused him to groan in frustration. Leaning far too close for comfort and grinning frantically, is none other than Roy Mustang. The man is wearing his civilian clothing to oppose his military uniform. At least it was not one of his flashiest set of clothing.
"Hello there, calling your girlfriend?" Roy asked in a sing-song voice.
"Fiancé, thank you very much!" Edward growled out, his good mood just flew out a window and replaced with annoyance at the appearance of the man in front of him.
"Oooooh. Fiancé... Tell me how you managed that?" Roy asked, not at all bothered by Edward's change of behavior.
"What? You need tips on how to get into an official relationship?" Edward asked with a snicker.
Roy sputtered out, his composure gone momentarily. Before he could retort back, the Golden Blonde grabbed him by his collar and dragged him out of the building. "Hey! Watch the suit, it's new!"
"Then you should have worn one of your other ones then." Edward stated he loosened his grasp on Roy just enough for the older man to pull himself away. Once that Roy pulled away from his grasp, the Golden Blond stuffed his hands into his coat's pockets. "Hurry, I left my class with Dr. Marcoh and I don't want him to turn my class against me."
"Hawkeye still with them?"
"Yeah, she'll take the class to a café for late lunch where I am going to meet with them."
"What about me? Where am I in this equation?" Roy asked with an eyebrow raised.
"I...I...ugh... I need you to do me another favor..." Edward managed to say, he shifted his shoulders uncomfortably. It was one thing to ask the Flame Alchemist to accompany him while he ran a couple of errands around Central. The Alchemy Teacher needed a ride and the Flame Alchemist is the only one in the area that owns a vehicle.
"Yes?"
"I...I need your help with... I need your help with my and Winry's wedding." Edward finally said the tension in his shoulders left him at that moment. He avoided making eye contact with Roy and speed forward when he saw said man's car up ahead.
Roy's eyes widen in surprise, he swore his mind momentarily stopped. To think that Edward Elric would ask him for his help for his own wedding. It was one thing to invite him to the wedding, but to be a part of it means a lot to him. There are many more things that could be said about his relationship with the younger man. They have an amicable animosity between them, a mutual dislike and yet have a great deal of respect between them. Many will swear they are father and son with how they interact with each other. No, that title belongs to someone else that is long gone. What he is to the young man is someone he trusts even if it appears quite the opposite. "Do you have a suit? Rings? Please tell me you at least got her an engagement ring?"
"No. No. I talked to Pinako and uhm... Winry has her mother's engagement ring but..."
"But...?" Roy drawled out, he took out a set of keys to open his car.
"Winry misplaced the ring several times and it gets in the way whenever she works on automail." Edward explained, once he and Roy got into the latter's car. "I want to get her earrings."
"Hm... nice. Different but nice. Anything else?"
"...I need to go get something for Ling, the idiot needs something and wants to make sure Lan Fan doesn't find out."
"...Where do we go?" Roy asked while he turned on the car.
"It's this place..." Edward pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Roy.
Roy took the paper and raised an eyebrow at what he was reading. He snorted as he handed the note back. "First stop... The Jewelers of Amestris."

Apple Cake Recipe (equals) Mathematical notions

Types of dairy cows (equals) Chemical formulas
That was just the beginning of the packet Mr. Elric had given to his student to go over with Dr. Marcoh. What appeared to be completely random jargon, there is far more than what it looked like at first glance. Page after page contained hidden information they would have never expected to find in 'original' text. Now it is understood why Mr. Elric had them solve riddles, looking at everything at a different perspective and drive it into their heads that nothing is at it first appears. That was only the easy stuff, the harder part is figuring out how to decode a three-page paper that already appears to be decoded already!
"Time. Pack up, it's time for all of you to leave." The scared doctor/alchemist announced to his temporary class. "Keep working on this, it is due the first day of classes. Follow Captain Hawkeye, she is going to take you to Truth knows what..."
"Where exactly are, we going?" One of the students asked.
"We are too meet with your teacher for lunch. If we hurry, we will get to the designated location before the lunch rush starts." Captain Hawkeye announced to the class, she signaled for everyone to follow her.
"Do you believe Mr. Elric finished with his errands, Captain Hawkeye?" Madam Hooch asked the younger woman.
"I am actually more worried if we have to meet the Colonel in a jail cell along with my superior."
Silence...
"Wha...?"
"Elric and Mustang do not get along, they enjoy to antagonize each other." Marcoh explained while he cleaned the chalkboards with a rag.
-.-
"BASTARD!"
"PIPSQUEAK!"
"How many times do I have to tell you...WE ARE NOW THE SAME HEIGHT!"
"For all I know, you could have put extra padding in your shoes!"
"Gasp-Take that back!"
"Make me!"
Ah... There it is... the yelling and screaming matches between Roy Mustang and Edward Elric. A very common occurrence in Central; Amestris in general. There go that last couple of months of silence...

8, 9, and 11 for the multimuse meme, please :)
@mendacia-dulcia
8: What is each of your muses otps? notps?
Bella - OTP is Bellamort and Cissatrix, I can’t see this depraved little bitch giving her love to anyone else (maybe Rod). NOTP is Bellamione, nooooo! Any ship involving a muggle born witch or wizard, Bella is the worst blood supremacist, she never would.
Dora - OTP is Remadora, that goes without saying. NOTP would be anything romantic or sexual with ANY family member. I know it’s a bit of an oxymoron considering Bella and Cissa’s thing together but Dora is not that type of person.
Cissa - OTP’s are Lucissa and Cissa and Severus. This blog does have Cissatrix content but it’s primarily driven by Bella, primarily. NOTP’s, any ship involving a muggle born witch or wizard, much the same as Bella but less aggressive about it.
Molly - Her and Arthur goes without saying, they are golden and beautiful and precious for OTP. In terms of NOTP, pretty much anyone else! I just cannot see her with anyone else.
9: Why were you drawn to each one of your characters?
I was drawn to Bella because she’s a nutcase as am I... I joke, or do I?
No but in all seriousness, Bella is an interesting character because writing her is really plumbing the depths of deprivation and seeing the worst of humanity. I like my dark characters because I like the opportunity to fully explore them and Bella has a small part of her that is more human and has the capacity to love and I’m interested to see that.
I was drawn to Dora because she’s such a bright, bubbly character and, when I was younger she was the character that I empathised the most with, the character that I thought I was most like. I wanted to bring Dora back for that very reason.
I was drawn to Narcissa because we know so little about her and yet she is such a strong character and strong willed woman and I was keen to explore her thoughts and feelings on certain situations and circumstances.
As for Molly, well, we do have the same birthday (not the year obviously) but she is such a lovely, mothering soul and I feel that she is a very strong woman too and that she is putting on this face every time and no one really knows how she’s breaking inside.
11: Is there another muse you’ve been thinking of adding or writing for? who?
If you’d asked me this about a week and a half ago then I’d have said Dora but I’ve brought her on so it’s all good! At this moment in time, no. I am keen that this blog remains strong, empowered women canon to the harry potter universe but I don’t feel anyone else rattling around in the brain.

Random anon here. I recently saw your ask about Severus Snape and I wanted to know, what are your reasons for supporting him? I'm not trying to start an argument I swear (personally he seems to fall more on the "love to hate" side of morality, but that's my opinion, not yours!) I'm just struggling to find my own opinion and I've seen both extremes on the topic. I realize this is kind of a racy question so feel free to just ignore me if'n ya want!
Okay, so I am not well off, and it was especially worse when I was younger. I grew up in a ghetto, on the worst side of the city. I didn’t have friends for the longest time. It was hard, and even then, I wasn’t aware of just how hard it truly was for my mom and I.
When reading Harry Potter, I never saw Severus as a bully. In fact, I just really didn’t take him seriously because he came off exactly as McGonagall, which is really strict. I’ve had teachers do far worse things than he’s ever done, so to me, Professor Snape was just really strict like a nun. At least he couldn’t hit the kids, which is different compared to the school I went to for years. Comparing my experiences at school, to his actions toward students, is nothing.
For the longest time I didn’t hold an opinion on him, other than why the hell does he care what happens to Harry if he doesn’t like him, you know?
PoA starts to put it together really. Dumbledore’s stupid comment in PS wasn’t really considered because I was more angry over Slytherin getting shafted out of points after being declared winners. (I was 6 when I saw the film the first time, and my sister was only a year older when she saw the film the first time and that was her first reaction too.)
But in PoA, Harry gets dragged into Snape’s office where he mouths off and Severus reveals that Harry’s father and his buddies nearly got him killed, and that whatever Dumbledore said, was greatly watered down to make James appear great. However, I was still very young and didn’t comprehend everything. Only that Remus literally admits at the end of the book, that Severus would have died because of Sirius using Remus to play an awful prank, and Dumbledore made Severus stay quiet about it, which wasn’t fair.
Sirius allows Severus’ unconscious form to bang into everything, Severus conjurs stretchers for everyone, including Sirius, and there was banging in sight.
In GoF Sirius tries to make him out to be someone super horrible but I couldn’t take him seriously because he obviously hates Severus and is really immature about it if we use the banging his head off of stuff as an example. How would he know that Severus was evil before coming to school?
The next time I truly consider him beyond that of a strict teacher, is in OotP when Harry rudely rifles through his memories and we see a scene that I have personal experience with. We see his ‘worst memory’, meaning it’s bad.
As stated earlier, I grew up in a ghetto. Mom and I were the only ‘white people’ in said ghetto that was African/Mexican. And while most people backed off when they learned that my sperm donor is a black man with many large, black brothers, some still bothered me. And when I transferred to the public Elementary School down the street, I wasn’t safe there either. I got bullied in my neighborhood, and bullied at school by the popular kids.
So we all know James was supposedly well-liked, meaning popular. And Severus wasn’t. And with how the series treats Slytherins, it’s not shocking Slytherins are bullied just for their House.
Severus is assaulted by 4 people on one, which annoyed me because I was used to that. Sometimes even more people. And if I fought back, they would claim I was the bully and try to get me in trouble at school. I had a bad reputation, and no one questioned the favorites because how could they ever do wrong?
The unfairness of a many on one scenario, made me so angry as a tween and to see him going through that just immediately put me off to James Potter. They held him down and choked him and stripped him, and a similar situation happened to me once in the park down the street where they struggled to pin me and managed to get only my pants off before I got free. 5 boys against 1 girl. Just because Severus has a dick, doesn’t mean the situation is any better with him in it.
James says he does it ‘because he exists’. Something else I’m familiar with. And then we get right from Lily’s own mouth, that the Marauders are arrogant and cocky and pick on anything just because they feel like it. She makes that observation. Severus saying a bad word once in the whole series wasn’t really enough to suddenly get me to hate him. I was disappointed with him, but was more hyped up at the time, on the fact that the great and wonderful Marauders, were just a group of bullies.
And then 1 chapter later, Sirius and Remus confirm EVERYTHING, but try to play it off as something simple. They said they never stopped bothering him, but that they got better at hiding it so Lily wouldn’t know. The bulling continued all throughout school. They graduated as bullies. It was very clear to me.
Effin wonderful.
And by the end of the book, we see that Severus was giving water to Umbridge instead of a truth serum. That he alerted the Order to Harry’s vision and told Sirius to remain behind on Dumbledore’s orders. That he went into the FoD to search for them when they didn’t return with Umbridge. He did all this when he didn’t have to.
I was a mixed bag of emotions in HBP because I don’t like Dumbledore at all so Severus killing him didn’t affect me in the least. His supposed betrayal though, hit hard and I was so sad. I read that book during the utter height of my Depression, so it was especially hard for a character that I formed a close bond with due to mutual experience, would truly be Voldemort’s man. This was before I understood that liking an evil character doesn’t make you evil. And it just contradicted all I knew about Severus’ actions during Harry’s school years and was difficult to come to grips with.
And yet in DH his actions made no sense. Sending Ginny to Hagrid for detention instead of to the Carrows? That was supposed to be a punishment when he knew they were friends?
And then all is revealed and we got more back story. He was just as poor as me, bullied before school even. Petunia bullied him for being poor. She bullied her own sister for having magic. Like, seriously, she’s horrible.
On the first day, James and Sirius began picking on him for wanting to be in Slytherin. They hadn’t even been sorted yet and they were already bothering him.
And I felt Lily, the Prefect, expecting him to control his Housemates who aren’t even his friends, wasn’t fair since he was at the bottom of the ranks in Slytherin for his blood status. She made no attempt to control the actions of the Marauders, which Remus didn’t either as he too was a Prefect. They actually had power in those situations and never used it, which isn’t Severus’ fault.
Dumbledore’s plan comes into the light and nooooo, Severus was never on Voldemort’s side! Thank God!
And then he died to see Voldemort taken down.
It was pretty cut and dry in my eyes. He worked for Dumbles the whole time, just to make up for his mistake.
I am much older now. I know more things. I am in a better mental state than I was when I finished HP. I love Voldemort and I am unashamed of it, because I know that I can like an evil character and not approve of their actions.
I have seen other people’s thoughts of Severus and looked at his actions from different points of view.
How he treats his students is still nowhere near to what I was used to growing up. From my personal experience, he was very easy on his students when in such a dangerous class. It however, is bullying. I know that now, and I am disappointed in it, though can understand that half is for show, and the other half is because he’s a bitter asshat.
I too am bitter. I don’t like kids. I hate people in general. I lack tolerance for most things that annoy me. I am not mentally healthy despite being better than I was.
Harry had similar experiences to Severus. People use him somehow coming out perfectly as the only possible example of an abuse victim to become. He is in fact, unrealistic. To the extreme.
I understand now why Severus is the way he is. I understand why I am the way I am. That will not excuse the shitty things we’ve done, but it makes sense. Our experiences shape us, and people expecting someone who went through what Severus went through, to come out fine, are stupid.
I connect to Severus Snape very deeply. And with wiser eyes, I can see even more problems deeply entrenched in the things that happened. The stripping of someone without consent is sexual assault for example. Every now and then I re-read and pick up the more abusive aspects of what I read, and Severus was on the receiving end of some terrible shit that people overlook or excuse.
And it angers me when people ignore his plights as a teen because to them, he was the world’s biggest bully as an adult. Yes, it’s immature that he took his justified anger at James out on Harry. No, it is not okay behavior. No, he is not the biggest bully to ever live. No, his actions to stop Voldemort are not diminished simply because he was an ass to kids. Yes, he earned his redemption for joining the Death Eaters by helping to end Voldemort. Plain and simple.
If people can blame 15 year old Severus for what he did then and in the future, I am allowed to hold the Marauders accountable for the shit things they did as teens. Simple concept.
My #Severus Snape tag would take you on a trip.

"If your argument is Snape putting himself at risk to be a mole is what makes him a hero, I’m gonna call bullshit.". Then what do you call continuing to be a spy AFTER Lily died then (which by that point he has NO reason to stay a spy)? What do you call Snape's "Lately those I cannot save" in reply to Dumbledore's "How many people you seen die?". What do you call him allowing his own image to be destroyed by killing Dumbledore on Dumbledore's order?
Let’s take this point by point. (And, I’m sorry, I am not brief.)
“Then what do you call continuing to be a spy AFTER Lilydied then (which by that point he has NO reason to stay a spy)?”
Okay. Hold up. Before I get to the actual idea of Snapespying and what that does/doesn’t mean…why on earth would you think he has no reason to stay a spy??
Let’s assess Snape’s position post-GOF, okay? Voldemort hasnow returned. Half the ol’ Death Eater squad has immediately flocked to hisside. The ones that haven’t because they’re no longer believers (?), or feellike they’ve been disloyal enough in the interim not to be welcome, have fledfor their lives because Voldemort is one vengeful bastard. So here we haveSnape: still unrevealed as an old mole. A teacher inside Hogwarts, Dumbledore’sturf. What are Snape’s options?
Flee into the night and live as a fugitive, hoping no one finds him.
Go join back up with Voldemort
Turn in a blaze of glory, joining Dumbledore’s side in the open
Play his old game as a spy
It’s bad opinions all around, self-preservation-wise. That’swhat happens when you’re a shady ass motherfucker. (1) would likely be veryunappealing for many reasons, and leaves everyone wanting to kill him. (2) isalso unappealing–because you know who elseis a vengeful bastard? Severus damn Snape. And from the second Voldemort wentafter (and then killed) Lily, Snape wuzdone. He had no ties to the Death Eater cause, except for the personal power and validation it seemedto give him. His ties have always been to his own self-interest. Voldemortsevered that self-interest by threatening Lily, and Snape called it dunzo. Thereis no reason for him to change his mind about that now. We know he’s still hung up on Lily. It’s his sick raison d'être. And added bonus: Dumbledore would be after him likea fiend, and likely would straight-uptell Voldie that Snape once spied, and then it’s bye-bye Snape. (3) See abovere: vengeful bastards, where Voldemort would hunt Snape down as a traitor likewhoah. (4) No one wants to kill him. Unless he gets caught. Then Voldemort definitely wants to kill him. But Voldemortalso wants to kill him in basically every other scenario, too. And this way, hegets to remain at Hogwarts, living life as he does, being miserable andbullying students, the great joys of his life.
Now…look. I’m being glib here, and likely I think in realitySnape’s decision had more complexity than just “what’s the best way to save myown hide”…but the idea that there was no reason for him to spy after Lily diedis laughhhhabbbbblllleeeee. Voldemorthad done him wrong. Snape is UNDENIABLY a very selfish, vengeful person. Hewanted that dude destroyed. Moreover,his life was in danger no matter what route he chose, and he found power in hisposition at Hogwarts. I don’t see any reason why he would want to give that up.And even if you’re giving his decision a terribly rosy-eyed view, claiming heturned spy because it was the right thing and he wanted good to prevail overevil…I’m side-eyeing you for that, but even so, I’m back to my originalargument from the last post: Shitty people do good things all the time. Evengood things for the right reasons. That doesn’t make THEM good.
Honestly, that’s the hill I’m really going to live and dieon. I have high doubts that Snape’s motivations for spying were pure and for thecause, because it was the right thing to do, but even if they were: that does not erase the previoustwo decades of being a generally horrible, selfish, abusive motherfucker, who only got on this side of the fight because he was personally manipulated and betrayed. Itjust doesn’t. And so a “heroic”action does not make a hero. It doesn’t even make an anti-hero. It makes…aninteresting character in which to look at the themes of good vs. evil that are prevalentin the book, but which should ultimately leave you at the same point: Snape isnot a hero.
What do you call Snape’s “Lately those I cannot save” inreply to Dumbledore’s “How many people have you seen die?”
I really like this quote because of “lately”. Oohhh, you know, lately. It emphasizes the fact that,once upon a time, Snape was DeathEater who blithely watched men and women die from the wrong side of the goodvs. evil war line and didn’t raise a hand to stop it until it affected himpersonally. Just as, you know, a reminder.
But here we are now, inside the “lately”. And the thing is,I’m actually more inclined to believe this line is a more general reference toHarry, the primary person Snape has been trying to save and has just learned,lol, jokes, Dumbly needs him dead. But to be generous about it, in the courseof his spying throughout OoTP/HBP, I’m sure Snape’s information saved people. Maybethat’s what he means here. Not tugging people out of the way of a ravenous werewolf(lol who did dat?), but saving with his espionage. And I’m sure he did that,not because he valiantly wanted to save these people as individuals, butbecause their lives were bodies on his side in the fight to defeat Voldemort.Snape wanted to defeat Voldemort. Voldemort killed Lily. Snape hated him for killing Lily. Even laterin that EXACT SAME CONVERSATION, when Snape is so horrified about whatDumbledore has done to Harry, when Dumbledore asks if his anger is because hecares for Harry, Snape’s response is LITERALLY “For him?” ACTIVE SCOFF. Then heproduces his patronus. Even Harry, the single person Snape has ACTIVELY BEENATTEMPTING TO SAVE THE MOST, has not come to affect Snape personally. He’s ameans to an end. For Snape, this is ALL ABOUT LILY–or really, this selfish,more-about-him-than-her, tunnel-vision, unhealthy obsession with avenging her. THAT’Shis motivation for everything, his love that’s not even really love because he’s a broken man who doesn’t know what thatmeans. (BUT THAT’S ANOTHER STORY FOR ANOTHER DAY.)
So…what’s the argument? That Snape’s spying may have saved lives, and that makes him a hero? Again, I go back to: motivation,motivation, motivation. His actions may be good, but Snape is not. He can givetwo shits about the collateral damage or collateral victories that go on here.It’s all about him and what isimportant to him.
Selfish, Selfish, Selfish:An Autobiography by Severus Snape.
What do you call him allowing his own image to be destroyedby killing Dumbledore on Dumbledore’s order?
LOL, YO, WHAT IMAGE??
My darling, no one hada good image of Snape. Nooooo onnnnne. If you’re talking about the members ofthe Order of the Phoenix and their ilk believing that Snape betrayed them…like,it wasn’t a far jump. Most of them never trusted him in the first place. So hejust kind of cemented his spot as a dubious character. It was prettyuniversally acknowledged that Snape is a miserable son of a bitch. After Dumbledore’s death, he’sa murderous traitor, miserable son of a bitch. If Snape ever once cared aboutany of these people’s opinions, maybe this would be a valid argument. ExceptSnape cares about no one. So…what?
I think it’s important to remember that even in his timeduring OoTP/HBP where we see Snape as an active member of the Order…this isn’tsomeone who’s looking for community or redemption or even camaraderie-in-a-joint-causefrom the group around him. Snape seemed to give fuck-all about every one of them. He’dbeen living his miserable, isolated life exactly the same way and wasn’tlooking to change it. He was on a mission to defeat Voldemort for his ownreasons. That. Is. Fact.
Sooo…I don’t know. Where does this leave us? I’m back to mysame Hill Point, really: Bad people do good things. That doesn’t automaticallymake them good people. Snape is not a good person.
#I literally logged on to tumblr at work in order to make this post#that's how dedicated I am to my Snape arguments#Snape is no hero my love

I actually had an almost direct encounter with this thing. Some guy was fascinated wtih fandom (his girlfriend liked it and he wanted to know about it for some reason, cant think of it now) and he ended up asking me what guys I based my fandoms around. Loki, Snape, Sherlock, Alucard, Revyn Sadri, Phantom, and he "connected the dots" and said "Oh, so you like tall, dark and broody guys?" It was supposed to be friendly but I was really confused by this question. I was like "Huh? Nooooo...."
And he said they were all like that so that must be why, in a very mansplain-y way that frustrated me. Keep in mind he wasn't trying to be a jerk, he was just ignorant.
But no, I don't like certain characters or even people because they're "tall" or "dark and broody". Y'know what? I like guys shorter than me! Gals too! I'm 5' 4" and that isn't exactly tall, is it?
I like people that share my sense of humor, aka gallows humor, sarcasm, and snark, with a heavy tablespoon of offensive jokes. Now, for some reason, these people, both in fiction or real life, tend to conform to a certain physicality.
I have no idea why the tall, buff, tan guy with blond hair isn't the smart, bookish, snarky one, but I mean, maybe because he's working out instead of reading?
What physical things do I like about guys? Lets take a look:
Loki: Crooked smile, cute laugh, mischevious glances, nice ass, long legs, slim, pretty eyes, long hair, high cheek bones
Severus: long hair, nice waist line (hot damn, he has curves!), probably has a lovely smile, long legs, high cheekbones, nice jawline
Sherlock: curls, look at those curls!, narrow face, legs, adorable hand gestures, gorgeous grin
Obviously I have a type that does not at all involve "tall dark and broody" or "big, broad and brutish".
Etc. So no, you don't have to be dark and broody to be hot. You don't have to be imposing and intimidating. Just be YOU. And
When I was a teenager, all of the books I read about romance never actually described the female character being attracted to the male character. It was all about being “overwhelmed” by him and “surrounded” by him, maybe even “helpless to stop” whatever he might be doing. Never once did she admire his backside which is just…just a tragedy.
Now any description of actual attraction I write in for my leading lady towards her leading man seems almost transgressive.
That’s how het romance has shaped me as a writer and why, IMO, my gay romances—unburdened by ANY prior influence(which is its own problem)—turn out so much more loving so much more easily.

HP and the Birthday Weekend: HBP Reaction
So I’ve been doing reactions for Freeform’s HP marathon. Freeform is skipping OotP, so here’s HBP (stupid Freeform). If you don’t want spoilers, don’t read.
Poor Harry. He looks so sad while his picture’s being taken. Poor kid needs a break.
I’ve always found it weird that the Death Eaters can fly without brooms. In the books, only Voldy and Snape can do it. Here it seems like they just add it for flashy effects.
Lol Dumbles is like “Forget the pretty girl and take my arm.”
Slughorn is so damn Extra. He fucking destroyed the place so that it looks like he’s already attacked. What a drama queen.
“I do love knitting patterns” Dumbledore is the embodiment of gay stereotypes and I’m not sure whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
YASSS the twins’ joke shop!
“How much is this?” “Five galleons” “How much for me?” “Five galleons” “I’m your brother” “Ten galleons” I LOVE THESE TWo
When Fenrir Greyback almost saw the trio spying on the Malfoys in Borgin&Burkes, I got literal CHILLS
GINNY’S SO CUTE WITH HER PYGMY PUFF
Honestly, I don’t understand why Romione (especially Ron) don’t think Malfoy is a death eater. After all the animosity between them and Malfoy, I think they’d be a little suspicious Malfoy.
DRACO STOP BEING A BITCH
Lo Flitwick is being petty af
Luna’s great. “No but I’ve done several toes. How different can they be, really?”
Hermione gets mad at Ron for eating while Harry’s missing, but honestly I would be too. It’d be more like stress eating, but still.
Draco looks so depressed my poor bby
Minnie ain’t got time for that slacking off shit lmao. Also, I feel so bad for Ron. People always sideline him for Harry
OMGS SEAMUS IS StILL BLOWING UP SHIT
Okay, but the potions lesson scene is the one time where Hermione’s hair is as frizzy as should be. Smh
Ugh, NO DUMBLES. Harmione is NOT a thing. It’s all about Hinny and Romione.
I really wish they’d shown more of Voldy’s memories. They were really important plot points.
Whose decision was it to make Draco consistently have a green apple? Not that it’s bad but I’d just like to know which department instigated the Drapple fandom.
“SHUT IT” The one part where Movie Ginny acted like she was SUPPOSED TO
Why you little snitch Ron. Harry’s relationship with his book is very intimate and personal (Jk I love Ron.)
Ron jfc. Ginny can snog whoever she wants to
“What if she saw you here snogging me? Would you expect her to get up and leave?” Hermione you sly mofo.
Aww look at Hermione wrapping her arms around her boys
Katie NUUUUUU
“Why is it when something happens, it is always you three?” Because they’re protagonists and shit must always hit the fan around them
“How grand it must be to be the chosen one” Would you like some fries with that salt, Sev?
“She’s got nice skin” YES SKIN THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KISS
“Hermione’s got nice skin” Lol they’re both WHIPPED
Belby devouring his desert like a caveman is my aesthetic and mood whenever ice cream is in the vicinity
Good job Harry just abruptly stand up and making A HUNDRED TIMES MORE AWKWARD
Ron why are you acting all condescending?! She low-key asked you to the dinner party!
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Luna’s lion hat?
YAS GINNY YOU FLY THAT BROOM LIKE A BAMF
Damn the Weasleys are on fire today
“You didn’t put it in. Ron only thought you did” Yes because Harry is slick af and also Slytherdor af.
“I think this room’s taken” Yes now gtfo. Also, I hate how Lavender was black but they made her white when she had any huge significance to the story
“But I am the chosen one” *slap* Come on Hermione let the boy have some confidence. Hitting him is a bit abusive
LOL when Cormac threw up on Snape’s shoes I was like, “Boi you’re fucked.”
Wow Lavender is so extra. She has good writing on foggy windows skills, tho. Mine usually turn out really ugly
I wish she’d (Ginny) fed him a canary cake and then he turned into a canary. And ugh Ron is such a cockblock.
Ugh they fucked up all of the ships in this movie? All of the Hinny scenes were awkward as hell and Ronks wasn’t even canon during that burrow scene.
Speaking of the Burrow scene, I think it’s cool, but they could’ve taken it out to include scenes like Voldy’s other memories, Hinny scenes that aren’t bullshit, tc.
Also, Ginny wouldn’t have just been STANDING there letting Harry defend her. She’d’ve hexed those Death Eaters into next week!
“Excuse me while I go and vomit” I’d wanna vomit too Mione
Oh gods here comes the scene where Harry is so unbelievably not smooth about asking Slughorn for the memory. Prepare for a massive cringe attavk.
“Is that what you told Tom Riddle, sir?” WHY ARE YOU SUCH AN IDIOT HARRY???? LIKE FUCK
“The map’s wrong” THE MAP NEVER LIES HERMIONE
“They [the cauldron cakes] were lying on your bed. I thought I’d try one.” Oh Ron your love for food is gonna be the death of you.
Rupert’s acting like he’s wasted is spot on. OMGS when he hugs Slughorn, tho!!!
Gods Slughorn is such an incompetent teacher. DON’T JUST STAND THERE DO SOMETHING GOSH DAMMIT
“And for the record, I’ve always found him interesting” We know Mione we know.
Ugh wonderful the Sectumsempra scene is close. Harry does so many things that give me second-hand embarrassment in this movie.
What I don’t get is how Lav is at a different table when she’s in Gryffindor. They could’ve had her sit at the Gryffindor table for the trio’s in sync judging stare
OH NO THE SCENE’S COMING
NO HARRY DON’T DO IT YOU BLOODY IDIOT
UGHHHHHHHHHHH
“Did you and Ginny do it then?” “What?” “Hide the book?” *wiggles eyebrows* They did more than that
Ugh why did he drink the whole damn bottle of liquid luck? He was supposed to save it for Ginny and the trio!
On the other hand, Harry being high and cocky af is the best thing!
“How on earth did you get out of the castle?” “Through the front door”
“Harry!” “Sir!”
Aww Hagrid bby don’t cry #ProtectHagrid2k17
Wow Slughorn and Hagrid are so fucking drunk.
Hey at least they included the fish story! That was super cute and feels destroying. Damn this scene tugs at my heart strings.
WHY WOULD A FORBIDDEN SUBJECT BE FOR HYPOTHETICAL USE???? (I mean unless you’re writing a book, but that doesn’t apply here) I love Slughorn and think he’s an interesting character, but fuck he’s so dense
YES THEY ACTUALLY EXPLAINED THAT THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT ISN’T ON THE MAP. They should’ve included it on the DVD! This would’ve made Ron’s line about Mione saying that in DHpt2 make so much more sense. Ugh this movie has so many plot holes it physically hurts
“Has it ever crossed your brilliant mind that I don’t want to do this anymore?” For once I agree with Snape. Dumbles is a manipulative asshole.
Okay, so in the books when Sumbles and Harry get to the cliff they swim across the sea or ocean or whatever to get to the cave. And I guess they skipped that part, but still had it happen? So how tf did they swim across it here? The water is way too strong? Apparition maybe?
THAT BOAT LOOKS HEAVY. Why make Harry pull it out all by himself?! You’re a wizard, Dumbledick! Use magic!
Dumbledore yelling that it’s his fault breaks my heart now that I know the context. Like, yeah, he’s an asshole, but poor guy. It’s so tragic.
“Don’t worry, sir. We’re almost there.” “I’m not worried, Harry. I’m with you.” Oh the fucking irony.
The added choir scene is so haunting
NO DRACO DON’T DO IT DON’T LET THEM IN
The way Snape walked in gave me GOOSEBUMPS. And “Severus...please.” UGH MY HEART
Nooooo! Hagrid’s cabin! What about Fang?!
So Harry just walked in Dumbledore’s office and ARE THOSE LEMON DROPS ON DUMBLEDORE’S DESK??? FTW!
Ugh I hate how Ron’s in the background for most of the last scene. He’s a part of the trio too!
Aww Fawkes don’t make me cry! Great now I’m emotional.
So overall HBP is my least favorite movie adaption because of how sloppy it is. But damn that ending scene got to me.
I’ve had loads of fun doing these. I guess I’ll both DH movies tomorrow and then OotP on Monday. Later!
