#they would go to hogwarts and be like: so you don't have like 50 uncles and unties who speak about 100 different languages??

[billsbae]

my fav hc is that harry and luna know like 4 or 5 languages fluently by the age of 11 because of growing up with james, barty, remus, sirius, regulus, evan and literally the whole gang

[zephahhhh]

Professor Riddle AU Headcanons

Tom was not a creepy evil boy, he just lacked love and approval, and he had the latter by being the top of his year and the teachers LOVE him. He was satisfied with that.

He had his little cult at school tho, but they mostly just do common Slytherin shits like gambling and drink and party and occasionally light reading about dark magic but academy purpose only (Tom is such a nerd)

Tom didn't become Lord Voldemort, he still has this but it's just his teenage edge lordname.

He knows where and how to open the chamber but never actually does it (so Hargid graduated and became a hella strong and scary Magizoologist, learning after Newt)

Basilisk starved to death because of that

(not sure about what happened to his uncle tho, @sevsssnape bestie any ideas?)

Dumbledore decided to give him the DADA post to keep him close and keep his eyes on, he still didn't trust him, and thinks he would turn bad one day

He's the youngest Professor ever of Hogwarts (19yo)

Slytherin won the house cup every fuck year even if he's not head of house

He became head of house in 1970

He has had a snake as his pet since fourth year, it's not THE Nagini but her name is Nagini anyway

He has a snake tattoo on his left forearm and it's magic so it moves and he thinks it's ✨cool✨

He used transfiguration (and a bit of dark magic) to keep himself look like in his late twenties or early thirties. Dumbledore knew about this but he doesn't give a fuck bc it doesn't really hurt anyone

He doesn't want immortality, he just doesn't want to look old

He's kinda rich from his time in school gambling

Severus is his favourite student of all time, and porker & Co paid a lot for bullying him

"That spell is really good Mr. Snape, but don't use it on human beings or we both will get into big trouble."

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, detention on Saturdays until the end of the term."

"Orion, I hate to tell you this, but Sirius' behaviour at school is not acceptable at the very least. He and his friends kept harassing their schoolmates, especially one of Regulus' friends."

Caught porker & co after curfew 1000 times even if they have the map and the cloak

"Seriously, you think you can walk around at night like this? 50 points from Gryffindors, each."

His finals are incredibly difficult. But as long as you practice and study hard enough, you'll pass.

Tom CAN conjures a patrouns, it's a snake (duh)

Lily and Sev both had a crash on him

So does Lucius but he never admits it

tbh half of the school does

He would daydrink and go teaching but never get drunk so no one knows

He doesn't hate children, he thinks some of them are future great wizards, others... he just doesn't care

Not really a good head of house since he doesn't really care about anyone other than himself and those he thinks have further values

He likes Sev simply because he's smart and he wants him to be his successor

He doesn't have a student club like slug club, he doesn't need one. The outstandings are going to have resources from him automatically and they know who and why and what they should do about it

He likes apples

Coffee drinker

"Come on Tom, have a sherbet lemon."

"No thank you Headmaster, I do appreciate your generosity but do forgive me for declining your offer of sweets."

He actually stole his prefect and head boy badge and kept them in his office (well, not stolen actually, he just didn't return them and told Slughorn he lost them)

Would go to FF for evening walk with Nagini

He likes Fwakes

Bath in prefect's bathroom 2am

And night snack after that

And caught porker & co in the kitchen

Taught Sev patrouns in his third year

I...I think I overdone it...
