I know it’s fanfic and doesn’t matter but I would love to know the alt history/explanations for the Desi Harry Potter headcanons

[corkinavoid]

Hi. I saw that angry anon you got. I'm sorry people are being mean to you. I get it. J.K. Rowling sucks major ass, and she has stated that any interaction with hp counts as support of her. At some point a decision has to be made. Not buying shit for hp is easy, but I'm not going to let a bigot influence my decision on whether or not I read fanfic or look at fan art. It is not a moral failing to engage with art, even if the IP belongs to a terf.

p.s. I, personally, am looking forward to the dpxdcxhp crossover.

Not gonna lie, I actually squeaked and kicked my feet at your ask, thank you! <3<3<3

To be fair, I low-key expected some people to have an issue with me going into HP crossover, since, well, there are a lot of issues with J.K. Rowling's charming personality. I tend to see fandoms as not connected to their authors, though, and that is a decision I stand by.

[Which is, now that I think about, one of the reasons why I don't particularly care when people repost my writing (as it came to my attention today lol). I just throw stuff into the void, and the void periodically tells me it loves my stuff, which is great.]

Speaking of that crossover, I'm very much intending on making Waynes a pureblood family. Or, well, more along the lines of they used to be, until Martha and Thomas died, and Bruce flipped shit and decided adoption is an option. I honestly don't know when I'll come around to writing more than, like, some chopped pieces of prompts that don't make sense, but I'm getting there.

Also, I'm still working out the vague idea of incorporating Danny's ghostliness into the whole thing because, well, the ghosts do exist in the HP universe, and it will be such a loss not to use it. As of now, the only thing that's established about that AU is that Sam is definitely a Slytherin, and Damian is very much a Hufflepuff (and he threw a fit at it). Also, I am so writing a Tim x Danny date on the Astronomy Tower.

Thank you for your words!

Lets talk about Walburga

Specifically, lets talk about her thoughts on blood purity, her sons, the Blood War, and Voldemort.

A few canon points to keep in mind before we go forward with this little thing:

Walburga is a year older than Tom Riddle

The only Black sister in school when Sirius attended Hogwarts was Narcissa, who is four years older than him.

Nymphadora Tonks is 13 or 14 years younger than Sirius. We're not given her exact date of birth but she was born in 1973 while Sirius was born on 3rd November, 1959.

(everything underneath is a mix of canon and headcanon)

Walburga was a member of the House of Black, a House that was akin to magical Royalty, almost. Their magical lineage could be traced back several centuries, and their money was older still. She was born into wealth, and she married into wealth.

Blood purity, for her, was absolute. You were either a pureblood, or you were not. It did not matter to her if all your grandparents or great grandparents had magic; if you had non-magical ancestors, you were not pureblood. The Blacks were as pure of blood as it could get. She would live with the fact that they had to rub elbows with people of blood that was not pure, of course, because that was how the world worked, and she knew nothing could be done about it. It something existed, then it was most probably meant to exist, she thought, and that was it for her. She thought those of "dirty" blood to be beneath her, but she did not begrudge them their existence. Let them live their pathetic lives, she thought, and I will live my life.

She was for the most part, a live and let live sort of person.

That is, until the appearance of the new upstart fancying himself as the new Dark Lord, who promised to make the magical world pure and unsullied by muggle influence once again. He promised supremacy to those of ancient heritage, promised them wealth and riches and importance.

Walburga was not an idiot. Far from it. She was a Black, in everything that she did. Blacks had wealth, and riches, and importance. Besides, she recognised an old school mate no matter how many changes their face had gone through, and when she saw his face for the first time, she only thought one thing: dirty blood.

Thomas Marvolo bloody Riddle.

She knew him, of course. He had been two years her junior in Hogwarts— scrawny eleven year old Tom who surprised everyone when he sorted Slytherin, because nobody knew his ancestry and he definitely did not look like a pureblood. Back then, Walburga had been sure to mention in earshot of a few gossipy housemates that even the Weasleys did not look pure of blood, and yet they had one of the cleanest pedigrees of Britain.

That had protected Thomas for a while— exactly long enough for Walburga to do a little digging, and she had scoffed at what had been found.

Slytherin. Thomas was a direct descendant of Slytherin.

That did not mean much, sadly.

His mother had been a squib, his uncle a murderer, and his father a filthy muggle. Thomas was from an old family, yes, but he was not pureblood.

And so, when Thomas Riddle came knocking in 1971, calling himself Voldemort, asking her to join his foolish cause of exterminating mudbloods, demanding that she bow down to him... she laughed in his face.

She bowed to no one. She was Walburga Black, wife of Orion Black, of the purest line in all of Europe. How dare this upstart demand anything of her, let alone demand that she bow to him? Ridiculous. She laughed in his face, and told him to take his illogical, irrational war somewhere else.

"You, Thomas? You will wage a war on Mudbloods?" She asked him, a small smile curving over her dark red lips and amusement dripping from every pronounced syllable, and Voldemort bristled with rage. "Will it end with you committing suicide, then, seeing as your blood is as dirty as it can possibly get?"

That night ended in a legendary duel— Voldemort escaped Grimmauld Place with several injuries and the threat of annihilation if he ever set foot in Walburga's house again.

And then Sirius was sorted into Gryffindor.

It was a shock to her heart— her boy, her firstborn, the scion of the House of Black. He was fraternizing with mudbloods and inferior beings, and Walburga did not like it one bit. At least that Potter boy was a fine choice for a friend; his parents were pure of blood and upheld traditions, coming from the Peverell line. A fine choice, if not the first that Walburga would have made.

And then he started toeing the line. Sirius lashed out, yelled at her, ignored her, scowled at her and Orion. And yet, she loved him. She also hated him. He was so much like her and Orion— headstrong, stubborn, brilliant, arrogant, intelligent. Powerful, as a Black should be. He was the perfect Black. The perfect heir.

What a shame, thta he did not listen to her, that he did not take her advice. No matter, she would ensure his obedience.

As for Regulus, well... He was enamoured with this Lord Voldemort.

Walburga did not approve. She did not approve at all. The man was insane, he did not have pure blood, and he certainly was idiotic if he though the world would be a utopia if the lesser people did not exist. Extermination was a foolish quest, even stupider when undertaken by someone of such inferior blood, and she loathed that Regulus would willingly bow to anyone.

Regulus was her son. A son of the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black. How dare he bow to someone? How dare he forsake his family name in favour of kneeling at someone's feet and kissing the hem of some mudblood monster's robes? How dare he disgrace the name of the House of Black so, submitting to inferior beings?

Walburga did not care that Bellatrix had done the same. Bellatrix was married. She was a member of the Lestrange family now, she could do whatever the bloody hell she wanted. She disapproved of Bella's choice, of course. She disapproved greatly. This.. this Death Eater business was as foul as that idiot Andromeda running off with that mudblood and bearing his child. Narcissa, despite her good sense to not bow to Voldemort, was still hopelessly in love with that peacock Lucius who was most definitely a Death Eater. Walburga disapproved. And yet, she was not either of their's mother, and she did not give a hippogriff's tit what any of those silly girls did.

Regulus, however, was a son of the main line. He should not be dreaming of bowing to anyone. Weak, foolish child, fantasising about kissing the hem of the robes of Thomas bloody Riddle. How dare he dishonour the dignity of the House of Black? How dare he insult their Noble name? Foolish, idiot, weak child.

She was sure the Mudblood upstart was laughing at her, wherever he was. He took her child.

And then Sirius ran away.

She did not like admitting that it was her fault, in part. She knew better than anyone how difficult it was to change a Black's mind once an opinion had been solidified. She was a Black, she knew how stubborn they could be. And yet, she pushed and pushed and pushed, and Sirius snapped. She should have taken a more delicate approach. But she had been foolish, and then she dealt with the consequences by blasting her darling son's name off the Tree, screams falling from her lips and tears from her eyes.

Regulus took the Dark Mark.

Walburga stopped speaking with him.

She did not speak to him until his death, which she was informed about by Kreacher. Kreacher, who was forbidden from giving her, or anyone else, the full details.

Two months later, Death came to collect Orion as well.

It was not long after that Walburga succumbed to madness. There was only so much loss one could take, and she had taken more than anyone. Her sons, her husband, everything... gone.

Was it any surprise, that she went mad in the last years of her life?

[foursaints]

as your book recs are absolutely exquisite, what kinda books are the gang reading, mainly remus, reg, james barts even all them guys ( if they even read at all)

this is an elaborate excuse to get book recommendations from user foursaints everyone shut up

i imagine the slytherins as all very literary (pureblood tutoring will do this to you) which is a popular hc! but i think people tend to lump “the classics” together & assume the slytherins are all reading the same handful of Big Name canonized authors, which can be so reductive…. what about literary infighting.

respectfully you could not find regulus black within a MILE of camus or sartre or kafka! he finds them childish & cheap & sensationalist because he prefers the grandeur of stuffier armchair classics and he has a self-serious bent. he has a secret tendency towards sweeping romance and also enjoys the florid. regulus black is reading PROUST and PUSHKIN and he nurses a deep, uncharacteristic love for RIMBAUD. his most enduring favorites are rilke’s letters and moliere’s plays and goethe’s Faust. and he will call dostoyevsky juvenile if you bring him up!

evan likes his literature bleak and straightforward and sharp as a knife. he is open to experimentation with form. he likes short stories and playwrights. flannery o’conner is a MAJOR one for him, also thomas hardy, also august strindberg, also ibsen’s later works. he fucks with russian formalism a la viktor shklovsky. he probably has a gigantic boner for ezra pound and yukio mishima that everyone mocks him for and he has a warmth towards brecht & stein.

barty is my modernism #understander and #darling… he straddles evan and regulus’s tastes in that he enjoys both the stuffy & the deconstructed, but he has a taste for vulgarity and more of an openness to the playful. joyce. pirandello. eco. maeterlinck. borges. lorca. out of everyone i see him enjoying chekhov the most, and having a secret but very powerful attachment to him….

yes they are all reading the same hyper-canonical eurocentric aristocratic drawing room picks but they are NOT just reading Crime And Punishment or whatever. it’s like the english department on sabbatical in there. they are on the verge of coming to blows about it the whole time……..

★・. LORE! .・★

We mixed Harry Potter, GOT, SPN, and a bit of genshin. its a whole crossover fic atp😭

Soo many shi happens but I'm only gonna explain the second war because I aint writing allat 🙏 (at least for now)

Voldemort still exists, but he is not the only enemy we have here because me and my girls are the the main characters. The other enemy is the Night King, and we will be the ones who defeat him while golden trio, Esme, and Mattheo handles Voldemort.

Night King is a myth like the deadly hollows, and he comes back every 3000 years. Most people (including Voldemort) did not believe that he existed, but during 6th year, he wakes up from his sleep, so he has to believe it now lol. Since both Night King and Voldemort wants to kill muggles along with muggleborns, they kinda become allies. (Which can also be called as Voldemort obeying Night King's commands since he is the Strongest wizard to be lived, but secretly waiting for his fall so he can take back all the power he had.)

It is predicted in the prophecy that 6 people, The Prince That Was Promised, The Hand of The Prince, Azor Ahai of The Prince, Bladesmith of The Prince shall be the ones who defeat Night King. Which makes Demitra Targaryen The 'Prince', Nile Grindelwald The Hand of The Prince, Kazuha Kaedehara The Bladesmith, and Cassiopeia Lupin, Teddy Lupin, Carmen Black The Azor Ahai. We will start to have nightmares that includes Night King. At the end of the 6th year, we will search for the blades to kill Night King.

Night king, aware of the fact that we are on the search, he orders Voldemort to send death eaters after us. Which are the Notts. We eventually got caught. Demitra, Carmen and Teddy escapes, but me and Kazuha got captured (bookstreet duo real). To test his royalty, Theodore's father orders him to interrogate us, but he betrays his father and Voldemort and tells me the whole plan. We all escape and head our way to Hogwarts with the blades.

When we were about to loose -because Night King has a whole ass army of dead-, Demitra gets the dragons and burns the whole army to their second death.

Rest of it goes accurate to the books, Harry dies to kill Voldemort and comes back to life, Neville slays Nagini and Voldemort dies. While Harry was duelling with Voldemort, Me, Teddy and Carm were also duelling with Night King, and we both stab him on his heart at the same time, and Night King falls along with Voldemort. Happy ending yay!

Icemav Royal Fantasy AU👑

The House Kazansky has been ruling the Kingdom of Miramar for centuries and was one of the most powerful families. The Kazanskys called themselves The Azure Children. As the tale’s been told from generation to generation, the bloodline was blessed by the fearsome ruler of the sky, the Thunderbird, who had bestowed them the power to wield weather as they willed.

However, with time, the pureblood has been washed away little by little. Mixed. Spoiled. Fewer and fewer children were born with the celestial gift. The House has grown restless for they couldn’t dare to think of what would happen to their sovereignty without the wrath of the Sky King in their hands. Challenges would come, from their conquered subordinates as well as their enemies. 

Until one winter, after years of waiting and suffering, during a heavy snowstorm. A newborn cried and the sky screamed.

Thomas Kazansky II was told he was the Hope of the clan since the day he understood words. Not every gifted-one was meant to be a powerful weather wielder but Thomas was the real Azure Children. As the winter welcomed him to the world, his power naturally attuned to the cold. Moreover, being the favourite child of the sky, the lighting, the weapon of their Winged God, also called him its master. Everyone in the castle learnt at that moment that none should upset their prince.

It was a precarious time and the King would do anything to ensure the safety of their saviour. Thomas thus spent his childhood caged inside the castle wall, inside the lecture room, inside his bedroom, between a group of nannies, and between a group of armed Royal Guards.

Thomas wasn’t born cold. But the gentle boy has gone with the early passing of his mother and the absence of paternal love. He was the Crown Prince and the Hope of the House. No one would bring harm to him including companionship. By the tender age of 12, Thomas found himself to be completely alone.

Peter ‘Pete’ Mitchell had so many things to prove to the world. Born to a small family on the outskirts of the Capital, having the captain of the Royal Guard as a father, Pete dreamt of an adventure and glory of his own. 

He grew up with tales of conquests, chivalrous knights, magic and monsters alongside the gentle tunes of his mother’s lullaby. This was Pete’s perfect little world until it was shattered by the murder of his father, rumours of his father’s treason, and shortly the death of his heartbroken mother. The newly orphan was taken under the wing of Michael Metcalfe, his father’s successor and closest friend, the only person who still trusted in Duke Mitchell’s loyalty to the crown.

“What do you want to be in the future, kid?” Metcalfe once asked on a calm summer afternoon. “I want to be a Royal Guard.” little Pete said, determined, only 9 years old. The old man nodded, understanding the implications behind that answer. “Then you shall be. I’ll make sure of that.” 

Pete Mitchell had so many things to prove to the world.

His world was a little bit brighter when he met Nicolas Bradshaw on the first day of his training, then Papa and Mama Bradshaw who reminded him of a family he once had and lost. Pete regained little by little a piece of a normal life.

But sometimes in the moment of weakness, Pete returned to the place where his old home once stood and walked around the forest nearby where his father loved to bring him, tracing the fleeting memory that he has been fighting very hard not to forget. And one day under the shade of the pine forest, Pete, recently 18, found a stranger on the spot where he used to sleep on the arm of his late father, with the coldest eyes he ever laid eyes upon.

ignored hp next gen characters

·˚ ༘ just some harry potter next gen characters that have not been talked about at all and are criminally underrated

·˚ ༘ erin campbell chang, carmen zabini, harbeth finnigan

erin campbell chang ✧.*

daughter of cho chang and mr. campbell. halfblood (ravenclaw?). her mother is still deeply affected by the death of her first love and always will be, this of course rubs off on erin. her parent's marriage is anything but perfect and erin will never find the example of great love in them. as her mother once used to be together with harry potter, this is all that erin gets associated with. "the daughter of the ex girlfriend of harry potter". cho chang possesses great beauty and is very smart and erin feels like she'll never quite live up to being the spitting image of her mother.

carmen zabini ✧.*

daughter of pansy parkinson and blaise zabini. pureblood slytherin, just like her mom and dad. filthy rich. she has a brother named marco. lots of generational curses trying to be broken in their household and let's just say her and her brother had a very messy upbringing. her parents try to raise her differently than they've been raised, wanting to teach her more tolerant views and lead her down a not-so-conservative and not-so-death-eater path. i'm not sure how much blaise and pansy participated in the war but they probably also had to face jail time in azkaban, which must've messed them up a lot. carmen faces a lot of prejudice because of her parent's past and isn't always met with kidness. sometimes, carmen feels like she'll always be seen as the daughter of death eaters and that people don't even bother getting to know her because she must be just like them and "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree".

harbeth finnigan ✧.*

son of seamus finnigan and lily moon. halfblood gryffindor. has a younger brother named apus. like erin, his parent's marriage is probably one of convenience rather than love. harbeth's father is gay and in love with his best friend and harbeth's godfather, dean thomas. seamus was one of the main fighters in the war, which leaves him with ptsd, anxiety and so on. harbeth's father tries, but he's too occupied with his own problems to care properly for his two children. he's present and involved in their lives but never completely. their family has a great reputation nonetheless and harbeth is always met with respect wherever he goes because "his father was such a good fighter back then in the war".

should I elaborate on this?

[2sidesofthesamesoul]

I kinda want an Aristocats tomarry AU where Duchesse is a Harry who grew up with his pureblood father and Thomas O'Malley is a Tom who grew up in the streets

[bruciemilf]

Werewolf! AU

The Kane are pureblood wolf, Thomas was human. Martha's brother became disinterested in Bruce thinking he was human like his father. And in a sense it was true. But during his training in the League, Bruce dies and Talia resurrects him using the Pit, resulting in the wolf's dormant genes being reactivated. Bruce won't find out until years later, when he's Batman, and has just adopted Dick. His wolf's instincts howl for a pack. And for a companion, getting him out of the way whenever Superman is near.

Honestly, I’d fucking love a batcat dynamic with this. Like. Overgrown puppy battinson who unconsciously thinks he’s a kitten and jumps on selina whenever. Poor woman is reduced to a gym rat because her man needs to be carried 24/7 like he’s dainty and delicate despite being a marble statue

THE HOGWARTS CLASS OF 1978 - pt 15

MARLENE MCKINNON

Name - Marlene McKinnon

Blood status - Pureblood

Date of birth - 14th September 1959

House - Ravenclaw

Academic achievements - Beater for the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team, Quidditch captain

She had to watch her five younger siblings be killed by her childhood best friend before he killed her as well

Cannon

Was part of the first Order of the Pheonix

Voldemort whipped out her entire family

Peter Pettigrew was visibly down about her families death

Lily Evans "cried all evening" when she heard about her families deaths

Headcanon

Lesbian

Irish

Her patronus was a cat (her cat Monty to be accurate)

Her boggart was being unable to protect her siblings

Older sister to Georgia, Olivia, Elizabeth “Lizzie” and Thomas “Tommy” McKinnon

Grew up in a wizard town in Ireland (the same one as the Bones family)

Marlene was very ambitious and determined as a child. She quickly fell in love with Quidditch and decided then and there that it was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life

Growing up she had the idea that as the eldest she had to be the protector and carer to her younger siblings drilled into her brain by her father, Michael McKinnon. She didn't know it at the time but her father was sick and knew that when he died her mother would not be in the right state to take care of Marlene and her siblings, so while he was alive he tried his hardest to not only make what little time they had special but to prepare them all for when he leaves

On Marlene’s first day of Hogwarts her family also gifted her a grey cat called Monty who soon became the form her patronus took

Michael died when Marlene was 7 years old. He was killed in action during what was supposed to be his last mission as an Auror

With his death still being so unexpected Marlenes mother shut down

Because of all of this Marlene was very protective of not only her younger siblings but also her friends and mother

Major Older Sister Trauma. Like Marlene would relate to Surface Pressure SO MUCH. She is Fiona Gallagah, she is Nine Riva. FREE MARLENE FROM THE YOUNGEST SIBLING ALLEGATIONS

While growing up she was good friends with Edgar and Amelia Bones, who lived in the same neighbourhood as her family. She enjoyed spending time with both of them but her favourite was Edgar who would play Quidditch with her all day in a field near both of their houses. Amelia would occasionally play but wasn't too interested in the game to want to play a thousand games back to back

Edgar and Malene also taught all of Marlene’s younger siblings and Edgars nieces how to play Quidditch

Growing up Marlene was musically trained and sometimes she, Georgia and Edgar would put on concerts for their families

Edgar and Amelia would call Marlene “Macca” after Paul McCartney. They tried to get Marlene into the Beatles but she wasn't a big fan

Four times a year (once for each season) Peter Pettigrew would visit some of his extended family who lived in the same town as Marlene.

Because they were both the same age Marlene and Peter were encouraged to be friends and Marlene was told to look after Peter and make sure he didn't get lost

Peter was shy and didn't talk much during their first few meeting and although Marlene found it awkward and would've much preferred for him to talk she didn't push and decided to do most of the talking for him but still asked him questions to try to make him more comfortable around her (think Carl and Ellie’s first meeting from Up. That’s young Peter and Marlene)

By the time they were 11 and on their way to Hogwarts Peter was much more out of his shell and although he did stick like glue to Marlene for the first few weeks he eventually branched out and made his own friends

Despite being sorted into different houses and having different groups of friends Peter and Marlene still remind close friends and would often study together in the library. Marlene would help Peter with Care for Magical Creatures and Transfiguration while Peter would help Marlene with Defence Against the Dark Arts and Potions

On the first night Marlene and her other Ravenclaws, Emmeline Vance, Hestia Jones, Sybill Trelawney, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Gilderoy Lockheart and Alexander Steddings, all sat together on the floor by the fire and played 21 questions as some of the older students occasionally came over to introduce themselves

It was while playing 21 questions that Marlene realised that she loved Emmeline, she liked Kingsley, she was fascinated by Sybill, she was indifferent about Alexander, she couldn’t understand Gilderoy and she hated Hestia

The relationship between the Ravenclaws of the class of 1978 was always a tricky one. They all acted like cousins who couldn’t stand each other during Easter but loved each other during Christmas. They got into arguments frequently and Flickwick would often have to gather them all in his office to talk things out

One time in their second year, during a potions lesson things got so heated between the 7 of them that spells started shooting and as punishment Flitwick made them all do team building exercises for an entire Saturday afternoon

Despite her love hate relationship with the majority of them Marlene always had and always will adore Emmeline

Emmeline was Marlene’s person, her platonic soulmate, her ride or die, her sister, her everything

Marlene and Emmeline were rarely seen apart and always had each other's back no matter what. If Emmeline got into an argument with someone then Marlene was backing her no matter what, even if she was obviously wrong

Some other notable friends that Marlene had were Lily Evans, Mary MacDonald, Sirius Black and Frank Longbottom

Marlene met Lily during her first lessons with the Gryfifndors. Marlene knew that although she wanted to have a career in Quidditch she couldn't let her grades in other classes slip, for this reason the lessons she had with the Gryffindors were her least favourite. The Marauders were constantly begging to be the centre of attention and although Marlene adored Peter she really wanted to hit him whenever he was with those other boys

It was after Marlene witnessed Lily Evans calling James Potter a “toe rag who needed to be told no every once and a while” that she decided that they needed to become best friends immediately

Marlene met Mary MacDonald during their second year at Hogwarts. Lily introduced them because Mary wanted to learn about Quidditch

Marlene lit up when Mary mentioned that she wanted to be taught how to play because she always loved talking about the sport and sharing her passion with others so she and Edgar decided to book the pitch out and teach Mary and anyone else who wanted to know how to play

Their lessons became a tradition and every year on the second Sunday of September they would be held

After Mary was attacked in 1975 Marlene threw a fit trying to get into the Gryffindor common room to see her and kept having nightmares about her being attacked again every night. In the end, Marlene convinced Lily to give her the password to enter the common room and at night would sneak into Mary’s dormroom to sleep with her and make sure she’s safe

Marlene realised that she was a lesbian the moment she learnt what the word meant

She went on a few dates with a Muggle girl called Brittany during the summer of her fourth year but it was only a fling

As stated before Marlene was Quidditch obsessed and had every intention of joining the Ravenclaw team when she joined Hogwarts. Her first year had her pulling her hair out because the captain Apollo Mongegue was terrible and setting his team up to fail

After taking Emmeline’s advice, after the winter break Marlene went to tell Apollo everything that he was doing wrong, to which he mocked her and told her to mind her own business

Marlene tried out for the team the next year but didn't make the cut. When she confronted Apollo about it he made a sexist comment and blamed the female players of the previous team for them losing so bad the year before. Apollo had cut all of the girls out of the team and only took in male players

Ravenclaw lost again that year and the next year Marlene was finally let onto the team as one of their beaters

By the time Marlene had reached her fifth year she had proved herself enough to be Captain and won the Quidditch Cup for the first time that year

In her sixth year she was Captain again and wanted the Cup again more than she wanted it the first time. Even before the try outs she sent a gift basket to the other three Captains (Edgar, James Potter and Dorcas Meadows) just to sike them out

When tryouts came she made history and captained Hogwarts first ever all female Quidditch team

During this year she also had a rivals to lovers arc with Dorcas Meadows

Dorcas had apparently been wishing for Marlene’s downfall since the sorting ceremony meanwhile Marlene had been crushing on Dorcas from afar since the sorting ceremony

However, as we’ve said, Marlene is stubborn as fuck so when Dorcas declared in front of the entire school during the Halloween party in the Hufflepuff common room that they were rivals and Slytherin would crush Ravenclaw that year, Marlene happily took the challenge (even if she was a little turned on)

Marlene finally admitted her feelings for Dorcas in Mid May of 1977 during the Quidditch “circle” (idk what to call them but basically everyone involved in Quidditch and whoever they invite) secret outing to a muggle club. Dorcas admitted her feelings back and they started dating

By the end of the Quidditch season that year Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were tied for points so Hooch said that they can have one final game to determined a winner

During that game Marlene was hit with a blundger and fell off her broom, suffering career ending injuries

While she was in the Hospital wing her siblings refused to leave her side and had to be escorted out by their Head of Houses

Also while there she was in the bed next to

During the summer before her seventh year she and Emmeline went on a roadtrip across Britain and visited all of their friends as they stopped by their town. The road trip ended in Birmingham (where Emmeline lived) where they had a joint birthday party (17 for Emmeline and 18 for Marlene)

At the beginning of her seventh year Marlene was at her worst. She could no longer become a professional Quidditch player like she hoped so what was the point in even trying to anything else since she can’t do what she loves? She and Sirius (who was in a similar situation since the Universities he wanted to attend kept rejecting him because of his family) were often found skipping classes and never paying any attention in the classes that they did attend

Flitwick had to call Marlene into his office to figure out what the problem was, and when she told him he explained to her all of the hardships he had been through in life and suggested that she might look into finding another way to be close to Quidditch without actually playing it. In the end, Marlene decided that she wanted to be a Sports Journalist

Marlene loved to write but was very protective over her writing. The only people to hear anything that she had written were her siblings and Dorcas as she would read her stories to her siblings when they were younger if they couldn't sleep and for their anniversary would write Dorcas poems

During their seventh year Marlene and Emmeline decided to play matchmakers and tried to get Tommy and Jude (Emmeline’s younger brother) together. (and it worked, though Tommy and Jude would always deny that their sisters had anything to do with it)

Marlene once convinced Emmeline to read Little Women but Emmeline never finished it. When Beth died Emmeline threw the book across the room and vowed never to read a book again

Emmeline once tried to teach Marlene how to play football and it did not go well

Marlene joined the Order after graduating, opting out to getting a job until the war was won

After finding out that Mary opted out it made Marlene rethink if she really wanted to be a part of the Order or not. Marlene was a lot of things, but a fighter she was not. If Marlene was seeking justice she was making signs, having important conversations, and preaching rights. She wasn’t duelling strangers and she definitely wasn’t putting everything she held dear on the line

On New Years day 1979 Marlene received a letter from Mary telling her that she has took her family and decided to leave the Wizarding World for good

Marlene misread the letter and interpreted it as Mary saying that she would come back once the war was over (even though Mary was never planning on coming back) So Marlene decided that the sooner the war was over the sooner Mary could come back

Marlene pledged her allegiance to the Order of The Phoenix on the 2nd January 1978

Even at school Marlene had never been the best at spells. She would easily get into her own head and stress too much to be able to perform spells properly. However, Marlene's lack was not common knowledge as she was good at hiding it with her confidence and knowledge of the spells

She had a spell for everything and knew exactly what to do to cast it but in high pressure situations just couldn’t follow through. Instead she often decided to just throw hands or find a way to manipulate Death Eaters into walking into someone else's spells

One time Fabian Prewett was badly injured and would’ve died if it wasn't for Marlene knowing the exact spell that he needed to stop bleeding out. Even though it wasn’t Marlene who casted the spell, Fabian would’ve died if it hadn't been for her, for example

In 1979 Lily told Marlene that she was pregnant

When Lily told her she was pregnant she was disappointed in her, they were fighting in a war and Lily (who was already on the chopping block by being a muggle born) had put a target on her family's back by not having safe enough sex

While everyone was congratulating both James and Lily, Marlene was panicking. Even after Lily reassuring her a thousand times that they have everything worked out and that nothing bad will happen to him, Marlene couldn't help but worry like she was doing with everything else.

In the end Marlene came to the conclusion that she had to put herself first before she spiralled and told Lily that she refuses to meet Harry until the end of the war.

Nobody agreed with Marlene's decision apart from Sirius who, even though he was doing the exact opposite, understood where she was coming from. Multiple times was Marlene asked to hang out and Harry would be there unexpectedly and she would do everything possible to avoid him

Marlene didn't like having to avoid him so much, she wanted to meet him and hold him and swear to protect him like everyone else had done, but she knew herself and she knew that she was already past her limit.

Marlene never did get to meet Harry in person

Marlene was killed on the 14th of July 1981

Peter kills her with the killing curse and leaves her and her siblings bodies as they are

Edgar was the one to find them the next morning

Hogwarts AU headcanons 1

Friendly reminder that English is not my first language. You can check my Masterlists both in English and Polish here.

Kamisato Ayato ✧ Slytherin

✧ Ayato was sorted into Slytherin without much thought from the Sorting Hat. Even before he got to Hogwarts, he had a feeling that he was going to get there. As the heir to the Kamisato family and a pureblood wizard, he had little choice.

✧ He is extremely smart and resourceful. His scheming began from the first year, when he got in older classes’ bad books. They made an obvious mistake. They made a fool of themselves. They wanted to get him a few days later but they fall onto the teacher who chased Ayato down the long hall at night. The matter did not end there. He always found ways to fool them when they tried again. He quickly gained respect among the Slytherins and soon after other houses as well.

✧ His activities led to the founding of an elite group of students called the Shuumatsuban. Everyone knows that they exist but hardly anyone has any idea what they actually do or where to find them. You can only join by special invitation. Apparently, they keep order because they are especially liked by students who are unjustly harmed.

✧ Ayato felt that his little sister would end up in a different house than his own. He's happy about it. Their parents are dead and they carry the burden of great responsibility for the future of the family, so he hoped that her school years would be a respite.

✧ He's one of the few people who hasn't slept once in history of magic. Thoma couldn't help admiring his friend.

✧ Ayato happens to do something different than he should in class, but no one has caught him yet.

Naganohara Yoimiya ✧ Hufflepuff

✧ Yoimiya works hard at school to return to her grandfather as soon as possible. Her parents are no longer with her, so he takes care of her upbringing. She had never spent any worlds at Hogwarts. Legend has it that she is the first person to leave the school when it is time to return.

✧ She bought an owl so she could write home as often as possible. Grandpa sends her presents far too often. If it is food, she will immediately share it with others. Mainly because she has a lot of friends and colleagues. Really many. Ask anyone who knows her, they will surely say yes.

✧ In her free time, she likes to go to Hogsmeade and look for materials to make fireworks. She sells them to others for small amounts of money. She loves to see them happy when they fire them. She must be careful not to earn negative points for her house for this because the students slowly stop hiding with explosives.

Albedo ✧ Ravenclaw

✧ Meeting him is a miracle. He comes to class and always disappears somewhere. If you want to see him, it's best to contact Sucrose, otherwise he's hard to find. She has trouble with it herself.

✧ He used to hang out in the library at first but since students started coming in asking for tutoring, he found a different place.

✧ The boy has the highest scores in all the exams he takes, although he doesn't study much for them. He spends most of his time researching areas that really interest him. His teachers predict a bright future for him in the field of Transfiguration and Potions.

✧ Albedo managed to summon a Patronus very quickly compared to others. He took the form of a spider.

✧ He occasionally sketches but never shows his work to others. He doesn't feel the need to brag about it. Cards with his drawings can often be found in the Ravenclaw common room. He doesn't even know how other people admire them.

Hu Tao ✧ Gryffindor

✧ The girl everyone is secretly afraid of. Eccentric and very different from her peers. Usually everyone wants to be friends with her until they get to know her interests better.

✧ Very often she can be found in the company of an older student. Zhongli listens to all of her reasoning and seems to genuinely want to learn from her, though everyone knows that he probably knows more than her. Nobody understands their relationship.

✧ Hu Tao loves the Forbidden Forest. Nobody knows how but she manages to avoid teachers and sneaks out there very often. Interestingly, she is still alive. She somehow gets along with the various creatures that inhabit it, which then results in top marks in Care of Magical Creatures. Teachers regret that she does not pay attention as much attention to the rest of the subjects and barely passes them.

✧ Her parents were non-magical gravediggers and she wants to follow in their footsteps. After passing her exams, she intends to open her casket shop for wizards in Diagon Alley.

✧ She has a habit of spooking people out of the blue.

✧ Hu Tao often talks to the castle spirits. She especially loves to hear about the details of their deaths.

✧ She never gave much thought as to why Gryffindor. During the ceremony she stated that she didn't care. The tiara mentioned something about courage but who would remember that...

A, T and Z please 💚

So, my Drafts got mixed up last night when the computer died, so I have to answer this all over again. But no matter, we work better when we think twice.

Thank you for the ask!

A: Ships that you currently like a lot.

I've already answered that before, so I'll be short.

Bellamort, of course, is the reason I'm still alive.

Tomarry is the reason I occcasionally smile.

And Harry/Delphi is the reason I don't sleep at night.

T: Do you hav any hard and fast canons that you will die defending?

I wouldn't die defending a HC, because per its name it's something that is created by us, in our head, and only semi-based, semi-built on actual canon. So I don't mind if people won't agree with my HCs. I'll happily argue about them, what seems more plausible, what might be out of character etc, but I certainly wouldn't make a ruckus about it. It's a free world and fandom exists to makes us happy, not argumentative.

One of my solid HCs on Tom Riddle/Voldemort is that he mostly grew up on the streets, and not the orphanage, because the latter soon proved to be very limiting and people didn't like him there, so he struck up on his own, only returning to the orphanage daily for a hot bowl of thin gruel and sleep. Tom himself admits to Dumbledore he is often out in London by himself, so I think it's not much of a stretch.

As you may have guessed from my username, I'm a Dickens fan, and Oliver Twist in particular. So I see Tom being recruited by and then leading a pickpocketing gang on the streets of London. The HC gets very complex, with Tom working as a cover in a pawn shop with an old fence, and many adventures commence. We don't have the space here, nor do I truly think that anyone cares about this part of his life other than me, so I'll leave it at that. I'll just add that Jack the Ripper, Thomas Shelby of Peaky Blinders fame and various other real and fictional characters make cameos in these stories which will probably never see the light of day. So yeah, that's my hard and fast take, that he actually had a very complicated, if deprived, childhood.

Z: Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!(Prompts optional but encouraged)

Um, not sure what prompts mean in this context (should asker have sent something, am I supposed to make something up? Idk, sorry, hope I'm not getting this all wrong)

Well, I'd like to talk about a bit about Bellatrix's childhood and early womanhood in the context of being a pureblood. I HC that Purebloods were seen as royalty in the old days in the wizarding world, and they had, as royalty has now, fan clubs, with newspapers and pages dedicated to them, their news, their function, people going gaga over their clothes etc. In this context, I see Bellatrix as a major trend setter in fashion, modelling a bit, doing interviews, even being daring enough to do a tasteful semi-nude photoshoot (Voldemort still has the photos, but shhhh!).

The problem is that being pureblooded, wealthy, beautiful and clever and admired by the common folk all at the same time went to Bella's head when she was young and it took a lot of work internally by herself and with help from Voldemort to come down a couple of pegs. And seeing her as she is in the books, you can only imagine how full of herself she used to be!

Now, for the kicker, I also think this was the reason that, when Voldemort asked her to marry him, she actually turned him down. She was very young, only 17 (age of adulthood in the wizarding world), and too preoccupied with appearances, too blinded by her own shine, to understand the depths of her feeling towards Voldemort, and in turn the amount of courage it took for him to bare his soul and ask her to spend the rest of their lives together. And she broke his heart with her superficial approach to life, afraid of losing the wealth and status that her position afforded her.

She soon realised that she had indeed broken not only Voldemort's heart but also her own, so she has spent the rest of her life making it up to him.

And now I'm crying, because things could have turned so different for them, had she agreed.

Anyway, I'm sure this is just my idea and nobody really agrees with it, but that's okay, I just hope it gave an extra layer to those who might have read a Bellamort fic of mine, or even just a tiny morsel of food for thought for the hierarchy of the wizarding world and the possible layers in Bellamort's dynamics.

Guess that's all, folks! Thanks again, @eternalchaoschocolaterain for the ask, hope it makes for an interesting read perhaps! I sure enjoyed writing some of the more obscure HCs and ideas I have for the HP fandom :) If you made it this far, thank you so much, please feel free to argue in the comments for or against my crazy ideas! Anyway, bye bye!

[greenerteacups]

it always intrigued me that tom riddle chose to go by the name "Riddle" up until he created the Voldemort persona and the Death Eater movement. because we know as of Chamber of Secrets that Tom is aware of his Gaunt heritage by the time he's 17, if not earlier, and the backstory of the Riddle murders in HBP confirm this account: by his last years at Hogwarts, Tom knows that he's the Heir of Slytherin and a direct descendant of the House of Gaunt. but he continues to go by his muggle father's name, even in Slytherin, where that lack of pedigree immediately marks him out as Outsider.

maybe it would just have been too much of a hassle to change his name while he was at Hogwarts — that's fine. but he continues to go by Riddle even afterward (during his time at Borgin and Burkes, see his encounter with Hepzibah Smith, cf. HBP), when he could've reinvented himself rather seamlessly as Thomas Gaunt, Heir of Slytherin. it's possible that Tom didn't want to associate himself with the pathetic remains we see of the Gaunt family, but I would still assume that the name, with its attendant Slytherin legacy, would be worth a considerable amount in certain pureblood circles.

all of that leaves me to imagine that Tom's disdain and loathing for Merope is just so strong that he would rather have a muggle's name than hers, even if it means he can't claim her heritage as his own. of course, this is also evidence that Tom never actually cared all that much about pureblood supremacy or birthright as such; he cared about power, magic, and his ability to control others' access to each.
