James x Lily Potter and a Chonky Little Harry!
I wanted to play around more with this squiggly style. I have a head canon that Lily bought these stuffies as a joke but James and the boys love it. James plays “marauders” with Harry and tells him all about their hijinks.
Huge shout out to @ladykenz347 / Lady Scribbles for being my beta. Her work is brilliant so go check it out if you haven’t already.
not a shipping but I love their friendship <3
Just thinking about the implications of cats being allowed as pets at Hogwarts. That’s crazy, right? If you bring a young cat, is there someone at the school that sterilises them? Do you have to bring a cat that’s already sterilised? Do the cats just not get sterilised at all to the point where there’s a giant population of stray cats that roam the grounds of Hogwarts? Are there actually more cats then students? Are the cats supposed to stay in the dorms? How do you stop them from randomly wandering the castle? Do you sometimes have to remove a cat from your desk before you sit down in class? Is someone vaccinating these cats? Are vaccinations even necessary? How does anyone ever get any sleep with the amount of cat fights there must be every night? What’s the truth??
A very Drarry Eighth Year AU
All. All is good.
Almost 40 years later Harry wakes up in the dead of the night, apparates into Ron’s home and shakes him awake.
Ron: Dude, blimey, what’s wrong!
Harry: We could’ve gone together!! We could’ve gone to the yule ball together and it would’ve been fine!! We could’ve done that!
Ron: *dawning realization followed by deep-rooted regret that they were both very dumb teenagers*
Hermione (face pressed into her pillow): And I could have married Viktor Krum
Just like Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore collects people. Only, instead of focusing on those with influence, he looks to the outcasts.
The expelled half-giant. The young werewolf. The repentant Death Eater.
He protects them and gives them a second chance. All he asks in return is their loyalty.
And, if on occasion he requests that they undertake a certain task, invoking their debt of gratitude - well, that is no more than he is owed.
He once thought to add a certain disowned Black to his collection, but quickly realised his mistake.
Sirius is not an outcast, but a rebel. He knowingly chose his path, and chooses what price he is willing to pay for it. He refuses to be used.
So Albus Dumbledore abandons him.
Who gave you the RIGHT?
Dumbledore knows Sirius’s loyalty lies with Harry instead of him, and he has no use for someone who is not willing to follow his orders without question.
Ooooohoo if there’s ever a post that fits my aesthetic…
okay but then where does Harry himself fit into this collection? Is he an outcast because he is “the Boy Who Lived”?
Nooonono, my friend, that’s what makes this post so beautiful. Because it fits the meta I’ve been trying to get people to accept for years.
Harry was an outcast due to a childhood filled with abuse and neglect.
Vernon made him an outcast by dismissing his claims of magic, berating him, locking him in a CLOSET and putting bars on his window, and let’s face it, even though her editor made her cut it out, Jo intended for there to be physical abuse.
Petunia made him an outcast by enabling and contributing to this abuse, as well as making Harry do dozens of chores while doting on Dudley.
Dudley made him an outcast by bullying him and threatening any students at school who wanted to be his friends.
And the rest of the wizarding world made him an outcast when they bullied him for being an outsider.
Harry James Potter became an outcast the moment he was placed with The Dursleys.
And who put him there in the first place?
I’m here for this Anti-Dumbledore discussion.
This makes even more sense when you consider why Dumbledore deliberately made Harry an outcast.
Think about it What would Harry have been like if he had grown up in the wizarding world? Or, to put it another way, what would Harry have been like if he had grown up in a world where magic was the norm?
He would have taken magic for granted. He would have been less likely (especially as he got older) to view Dumbledore as a wise mentor and more likely to see him as flawed and capable of bad decisions. He would have seen both the world and Dumbledore as ordinary, with their good points and bad points.
But Dumbledore didn’t need a well-adjusted boy who took magic and the magical world for granted. He needed a child who would love the magical world unstintingly, even irrationally, because it was a haven from neglect and abuse. Even more, he needed a child who feared this world becoming evil and who therefore would not question someone that he saw as the ultimate authority, especially if he believed that obeying that authority would keep the world safe.
Even if obedience meant his own death.
Dumbledore wanted a martyr who would die for the wizarding world, because he believed that Voldemort could not die until Harry did. Which was why he left Harry with the Dursleys and let them neglect and emotionally abuse him for the next ten years.
To get a martyr, he first had to create a victim.
well… well, shit
Oh shit. Its been updated.
…I’ve been in the “Dumbledore was on the darker side of morally grey” camp for years but this…this. Holy shit. Oh no.
@lesbeanmum
Fred and George would have been in slytherin if Rowling didn’t hate slytherins so much and that’s that on that
listen. listen. you’ll pry indian harry potter and black hermione granger from my cold, dead fingers.
I like how the only reason Harry is able to fight the imperious curse so easily is because it hits him and he’s like “Ah I feel calm and relaxed and happy…this is wrong.”
harry: serotonin? in this economy?
i made some drarry memes
Why do people write Draco as a Bad Boy when he’s really not.
Draco Malfoy was a star student.
Draco Malfoy was a prefect.
Draco Malfoy joined a group that was basically the snitches in 5th year.
Draco Malfoy did whatever his parents told him too.
The only times Draco Malfoy got in trouble was when Harry “the rules don’t fucking apply to me because I defeated Voldemort and I have low impulse control” Potter ever popped up.
Lol I mean this isn’t wrong
that’s my OPINION!!!!
Every Adult In “Harry Potter” Let Us Down At Some Point And That’s Important a 900 page dissertation by me
And that includes Joanne Kathleen Rowling a tear stained afterword by me
Hagrid Is The Exception a rebuttal by me
The Time Hagrid Told Voldemort How to Take Out Something Protecting an Object that Grants Immortality When He Was Drunk and Other Well-Meaning Fuck Ups a lengthy chapter
You’re Absolutely Right a retraction
How dare you assume Molly Weasley has done anything wrong ever
That Time Molly Yelled At The Twins And Ron For Saving Harry From Abuse And Starvation, Thus Likely Communicating To The Abused Kid In Her Presence That His Welfare Was Less Important Than Not Borrowing The Car, That Time Molly Was Utterly Condescending About How Harry Is A Child And Doesn’t Deserve To Know Anything In A Way That Probably Heightened His Determination To Prove Otherwise, That Time Molly Said The Twins Put Together Aren’t As Good As Any Of Their Brothers Over OWL Results That They Worked Hard On And Were Proud Of, That Time Molly Forcibly Cut Her Adult Son’s Hair Right Before His Wedding, That Time Molly Spent A Year Being Mean And Rejectful Toward Her Son’s Fiancee, That Time Molly Sent Hermione A Deliberate “Fuck You” Present For Easter Because She Believed A False Story Written In Witch Weekly Without Making Any Attempt To Ask The People Actually Involved, Those Times She Made Her Youngest Son’s Christmas Sweaters His Least Favorite Color, And Every Time She Belittled Her Husband’s Hobby, The Twins’ Interests, And Bill’s Appearance Because She Couldn’t Be Bothered To Understand Or Value Or Even Be Kind About Them a detailed reminder that no one’s perfect and sometimes what one person doesn’t mind or see hits another person hard
Florean Fortescue Just Wanted To Sell Some Ice Cream And Help Harry With His Homework He Is The Only Adult Who Didn’t Mess Up Until Getting Killed By Voldemort, RIP an increasingly strident addendum by me
OK You’re Absolutely Right Florean Fortescue Was In Fact Perfect As Far As I’m Aware a concession by me
Draco’s picture on the Black family tree makes me laugh so much though
what is that hat why are you wearing that omg
harry james potter nearly being repeatedly murdered year after year: I’m chill
harry james potter studying for 5 minutes for an exam: AGONY! DEATH! A G O N Y!!!!!
ok same though
I would respect JK Rowling so much more if she just came out and said yeah the Harry Potter books don’t have enough representation, thats a problem and I’ll do better in future rather than being like oh actually Voldemort’s mum’s cat was gay.
Everyone: jk the asian representation in the Harry Potter series is really bad
Jk: wHaT aBoUt NaGiNi
