Blackinnon, a measured response.

Would update if more discussions comes out. This post is not for a specific person. If the statement doesn’t apply to you, do not take it personally.

If you think Blackinnon is homophobic, think again!

Here are the facts: yes, Blackinnon is fanon. yes, we are a small community. yes, it’s heterosexual. But does that mean we hate queer ships?  No.

Some may think,  “Marlene Mckinnon is not even a background character, why on earth does people ship it? They must be homophobic.” This may be a little shocking, but accusing someone of being homophobic just based on what they ship is an act of denigration. You’re just putting hate on other people’s mouth to make them your foe, even if they have no intentions to be so.

We can ship blackinnon and wolfstar or Meadowpin. Some of blackinnon shippers actually believe those can co-exist. So what is the problem?  We can ship wolfstar or meadowpin and not blackinnon or the other way around. It’s really based on taste and what they’ve read. 

Shipping a straight ship is not an act of homophobia, nor does it make you straight. I could be gay or bi and ship blackinnon. It’s not a hard concept to understand.

I know a lot of people who hate blackinnon rant because they have a passion for their own ship, and I don’t blame them. You can ship whatever you want. But is it really necessary to bring other ship down?

If you have the need to rant and hate about a certain ship, make sure you use the anti tag. If you knew about the tag but still refuse to use it, you’re just writing rants to belittle other people in your favor. Doesn’t sound very accepting.

read more about my points on Blackinnon and sexuality from previous discussions here (x) 

Seriously, though, WHY do people ship it? 

If you genuinely want to know, then ask the person who ship them. I can’t speak on behalf of all the Blackinnon shippers because they ship it for different reasons. Some ship it for their dynamic, from the fanfics they’ve read, from the headcanons, from their view of Marlene, from their view of Sirius and many more.

For me personally, I ship them for two reasons. Their character dynamics throghout almost all the fanfics i read and, because in my mind wolfstar couldn’t work because of Sirius’s insensitivity for Remus throughout the books (i.e. The Prank, him liking the full moon, giving his riches to harry, his suspicion, etc.), and Frankly i think Remus deserves better. Shockingly, that’s just my opinion. And I have no problem with people not agreeing, but that’s what I concluded when I read the books. and the idea of Sirius having someone is nice you know? The flexibility of Marlene’s character is very inviting for everyone because they have their own interpretations.

Someway or another, you should accept that people have different opinions and interpretation. If you think blackinnon is unbelievably bad, then you do you. Doesn’t mean you have to leave a hate-post on their tag, nor should you blame them for shipping stuff they like.

Blackinnon is a very small ship. And if you hate it, you shouldn’t even bother commenting, responding, or ranting. It just makes people defend it, really. Some people love this ship and you’ve gone out of your way to make them feel bad about themselves. Why?

Marlene McKinnon is not even a a proper character

Here are the facts about Marlene McKinnon: Her name means star of the sea, she is a member of the order, her name is mentioned in Lily’s letter to Sirius, Sirius pointed at her in the movies.

A person that we know Sirius is at least acquainted/friends with makes her a blank canvas. As we all know, Sirius has no romance life in canon, so our options are very minimal. 

There are people who ship Sirius with Caradoc, Benjy, Dorcas, Mary, Gideon, Fabian, and so much more. There are less hate for them compared to balckinnon and here’s why: Marlene McKinnon seemed to be in the spotlight because she is second to Remus in terms of possible pair for Sirius. That’s it.

Some Blackinnon shippers like blackinon because Marlene is practically a walking OC. She can be whatever you want.

 But people tend to focus on the fact that she’s female. Putting that aside, Marlene is an absolute blast to read. Yes, she’s mentioned only a few times, but the whole point of Blackinnon is the possibility. Isn’t that always the case for fanon ships?

Understand the hate towards Blackinnon

When I first dive into Blackinnon years ago, all I see is hate thrown at them. The hate hasn’t stop, whether it’s from private messages or from hate-post.

The conversations I have with fellow Blackinnon shippers usually consist of the same things, “Why don’t they just leave us be?” and till this day I still wonder.

I’ve done my research, and really I wanted the results to be different. 

There are many many many ships out there, using incest, pedophilia, or other stuff, and shockingly, it receives less hate from people. Doesn’t that beg the question? 

Do people hate it because they simply dislike it or are they hating it because they have biased opinions about other ships. The truth is, (I’m going to unfilter- god protect me from hate messages) Blackinnon received a lot of hate because it’s the opposite of wolfstar. It’s straight. It’s not Remus. The audacity of people shipping Sirius with a person other than Remus! It’s the same argument for Remadora hate. More than 70%  (not all ) of the people who hate on blackinnon and remadora, I observe, is from wolfstar shippers. (Yes, I counted it. I am a math god, and in need of a job)

People don’t have as much of a problem for Sirius/Mary, Sirius/Dorcas, Sirius/ Benjy, Sirius/Hermione etc. They have a problem with Blackinnon and Remadora (I wonder why).  I’ll say it again, Marlene McKinnon seemed to be in the spotlight because she is second to Remus in terms of possible pair for Sirius.

Hating other ship to make your ship appear better is…. to be honest, understandable. But to tell you the truth, It doesn’t change a thing.

It doesn’t make me hate my ship. If your intentions on writing hate post is to receive approval from other people, I suggest you search for something else than the topic of hatred.

But, again, if you have the need for the feeling of satisfaction of speaking your opinion of something you passionately hate, then use anti-tag. It’s not so hard.

***CONCLUSION***

At the end of the day we have so much love for these characters, and our biases is only for ourselves. Can’t we just agree  that although we love Harry Potter, we can also love different characters throughout the books/movies? There are communities for everything, focus on the community you love, not the community you hate.

If you got offended throughout reading his post, I’m sorry. But let me clear things up, I do not hate wolfstar, queer-ships, etc. I just like blackinnon, as simple as that. This doesn’t prove that I’m straight, or bi, or anything. It’s just what I like. This post is a defense and obviously not a hate-post. What I ask of you is just to leave blackinnon (and remadora) alone. Thank you.

I am doing this measured response so I don’t have to re-write everything every time people leave hate-posts. If you receive this from a link in the comments, thank you for taking the time, and remember that it’s not meant for you specifically. Disclaimer: Do not share this to people in anti tag.

@hokeytheelf THANK YOU!

she's so good at this 😭

[marlmckitten]

My friend and I created this headcannon. About the night Sirius and Marlene finally saw eye-to-eye. (Not just because Marlene took her heels off so she could look the shorty in the face for once.) Also, I have already written this and it will come up in (She Had) Just Enough Time, so I hope you all want to enjoy it twice. ( ˘ ³˘)♥

@padsmcfoot is the thank for half this story that was originally a roleplay.

It was Marlene’s favourite bar. Only so because they never checked ID’s and the cute bartenders always gave her drinks ‘on the house.’ And for those same reasons it was considered a dodgy place. Filled with men and women free of inhibitions, dancing and drinking and disappearing to the bathroom to either relieve some stress with another or put something more into their bodies to enjoy the evening with. Never the less, Marlene enjoyed it. She was having a particularly good night when a handsome young man came up to the 16 year old and began chatting to her, casually ordering her another drink and expertly letting his hand fall down her open back, a smile curling on his lips as he drew her closer to him. But something, rather someone, near the entrance broke her concentration. A familiar figure, that never did she think in a thousand years she would see in a place like this, walked through the doors, lighting a cigarette, since their seemed to me no rules against it and leaning against a wall, breathing in deeply. His hair fell over his face, even more-so than usual almost as if he had something to hide.

Her face dropped and she dismissed herself from the man who now had a leg pressed between her black jeans. He swore after her, but she didn’t bother listening to what he had to say, instead she walked straight to Sirius Black, her eyebrows raised high. He did manage to dress like a muggle expertly, and fit in to a place like this surprisingly well. From his ripped jeans to his leather jacket and scruffy hair, no one would question what he was doing here. Except for her.

“I wonder what is one of the Noble Black’s doing in a muggle place like this? Trying to remind yourself what scum they are, Poodle Head?” Her words attacked him, no differently than they would have, had they been at Hogwarts. “This is my place, Black, I suggest you find somewhere new so my eyes don’t set fire to themselves having to see you on my summer holidays.”

He looked up, his eyes looked sad and defeated, none of the usual sparkle they typically held. Letting out an exhausted moan, he painstakingly pushed himself off the wall, took the cigarette between his fingers and nodded, “Didn’t expect to see you here, Marlene. I’m sorry, I’ll leave.”

What about something when Sirius first realizes he's in love with Marlene? :)

OHEAFNJDBHFUH yessss~

Sirius held a special spot in his heart for Marlene McKinnon. Five years of throwing insults at each other, quickly turned much more flirtatious in his sixth year. It was following a run-in they had during the summer, where Sirius was running away from a particularly rough night at home and went to a muggle club to clear her head. The blonde saw him, asked no questions and took him home to help heal his welts, sooth the pain lashed on him from his parents and told him that, no matter how much they hated one another, if he ever needed to escape, he could come to her. They spent the rest of the night smiling and watching muggle movies. She promised that she would never mention the night again and that it wouldn’t make her go any easier on him when they got back to school.

That September Sirius showed up, newly tattooed, adorning his typical leather, a new air of confidence around him. He had taken Marlene’s advice and finally left home. The Potter’s happily took him in and it was a new Sirius that walked onto the Hogwarts grounds that year. Marlene’s jaw dropped and suddenly found herself nearly stuttering as he winked her way. Lily had noted many times that year how Marlene and Sirius’ relationship had shifted slightly. Of course Marlene denied it.

When Lily and James started dating however, things changed very quickly. Sirius may have had a reputation for sleeping around, but when it came to one particular blonde, he went out of his way to ask her out on a proper date, a date that he did not even attempt to sleep with her. He waited… For the second date. Which, the Mauraders and Marlene, recognized that for him it was an impressive move. His loyalty to her did not waver, he didn’t so much as look at another girl, even very early on.

One date that he took her on, they sat on one of the flatter rooftops, which was easy with a flying motorcycle, and looked out at the stars as she leaned on top of him and kissed him. She kissed each scar that she saw on the way down his body, knowing how self-conscience he was of them, but she always told him how sexy they were. Still, she had never mentioned that night, but Sirius pulled her back up and looked into her eyes and smiled kindly to her. “You don’t have to pretend you don’t remember what they’re from,” he told her.

Marlene bit her lip and kissed his cheek gently, “You’re ruining the moment, Black.”

Chuckling, Sirius pulled her off of him again, “You were right that night,” he continued. “Regulus is fine without me there, and I needed to leave, before things got any worse.”

With a sigh, Marlene moved off of him and lay on her side, propping herself up on her left elbow, “Of course I was right.”

“Thank you,” he said sweetly.

“Can we go back to snogging now? I can’t leave Hogwarts having never had sex on the castle roof,” she joked.

Sirius shook his head and rolled himself on top of her, littering her face with light kisses. “I’m trying to be romantic, Kinney, I’m not very good at it, but you’re not making it any easier.”

The halfblood rolled her eyes, but a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, “I’m glad I could help, Sirius. I told you that if you ever really needed anything, I would be there for you. And you should know that now more than ever.” Her fingers trailed down his chest, in a more loving than sensual way now. Marlene continued honestly, “I don’t want that past to haunt you. Do you still think about it a lot?”

“Every night,” He admitted, “I can’t always sleep through the night, but overall, it’s gotten a lot better, I just want to make sure that you know that you’re a big part of why things are so much better for me now.”

“I bring joy with me where ever I go, you should know that by now,” she laughed, unable to stay too sincere and serious for very long.

He gave up on their conversation, figuring he got enough of his point across and their lips met again, he moved down her body and they stayed on the rooftop until she was screaming his name in pleasure.

Later in the evening, he brought her back down and into the common room, he parted ways with her and upon entering his dorm, the rest of the Maraders were still up, all starring at him as he entered the room. “Out with McKinnon again?” James questioned.

“You’re starting to spent more time with her than us, Prongs!” Peter’s squeaky voice cut in with jealousy.

“He’s falling in love, boys, let him be,” Remus added with a wink.

But Sirius ignored them all, “I’m not falling in love,” he rubbed his eyes, tired from a long day and went to get changed before collapsing onto his bed. The other three were still talking in the corner, but Sirius ignored the jabs they kept sending towards him. Sirius Black, falling in love? It was as if they didn’t know him at all. Marlene was great, she was sassy and sexy and Merlin, his name never sounded better than when it left her lips, but in love? Not a chance. He repeated himself, “Not in love!” Causing an eruption of laughter from the Mauraders. However they all froze when the door opened again, and stayed perfectly still when they saw Marlene, dressed casually in her pyjamas, waltzed in as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

The girl only looked around for a second before seeing Sirius and welcoming herself under his blankets, closing the curtains around his four poster bed and snuggling up to him.

“What are you doing?” Sirius asked, instinctively wrapping his arms around her and adjusting the blankets to make sure she was comfortable.

“You said you can’t sleep at night, I’m here to keep the nightmares away,” she shrugged simply, letting her eyes close.

The pureblood by her side had no idea how to reply, she was serious, she wanted to stay here just because of his comment. “I can sleep on my own.”

“So can I,” she yawned in response.

Sirius wasn’t sure how to feel about this, admittedly he would love if Marlene spent every night by his side. What he hated about going to bed was being alone, and his nightmares waking him up and thrashing around in the silence, while everyone slept comfortable and didn’t notice anything was wrong. With a sigh he pressed on, “Mar, this isn’t necessary.”

“Shut up, Black, I’m trying to sleep.”

And so he did, and slept through that night without any issues.

The next night was the same, he woke up once, but when he felt Marlene in his arms, his heart slowed down and he was able to pull her close and fall back asleep until the morning.

The third night, she pranced into his room and made herself comfortable on his bed, while he was still up with James, catching up on a months worth of transfiguration work. “Shit.” Sirius said after he was sure Marlene was asleep. He looked over to James as he ruffled up his hair, then back to his girlfriend, sound asleep in his bed, “Fuck, Prongs, I’m in love with her.”

FIRST MEETING

Sirius would always remember the first time he laid eyes on Marlene. Sure he was only 11, girls weren’t really on his radar yet and he had so much going on with his family it was hard to think of much else, but Marlene he remembered.

He made fast friends with James Potter on his way to the school. James was pureblood, like he was, but also considered a blood-traitor to the Black family. Which was exactly the sort of person Sirius wanted to become friends with. 11-year old Sirius thought he was invincible. He thought pissing off his family was the funnest time he would have. Yes, he had some beatings for how he behaved. And empty threats. (He presumed they were empty. He was the Black heir. His older cousins were all girls and Regulus was still quite young.) Obviously later on in life, he would learn that he was far from invincible. But to be young and have the world in your fingertips skewed Sirius’ sense of reality.

But even with all this going on in a young Sirius Black’s mind, a new friend, out of his home, feeling like he could take on the world, his eyes first spotted Marlene through one of the train windows. He had already met Lily Evans and Severus Snape, and him and James were laughing about the greasy git when his eyes caught the shine of bright blonde hair and a smile that made his heart stop. It was only for a moment, he paused looking into the cart she was sitting in, when James tugged him along to continue on their way back to their own compartment.

James didn’t notice the brief laps in Sirius’ attention. The rest of their ride was filled with laughs and all the candy and pumpkin juice they could eat. Both of them came from great means of money and had no concerns about spending more gold on treats than most 11 years olds had ever seen. Arriving at Hogwarts, Sirius noticed the blonde again, but was assigned to a different boat and tried to put her out of his mind. Later on while they were waiting to be sorted and he still had one eye on the cheerful blonde with beautiful blue eyes.

His last name started with a B, so he was one of the first to be sorted. It came as a shock to the entire hall when he went to Gryffindor. He spotted his cousins faces of horror among the Slytherin table and waved to them as he skipped to the crimson and gold. He was grinning, proud to have defied the odds, glad that the sorting had could see through his last name. He was never going to be like his family. Of that he knew for sure. ‘Evans, Lily’ joined the table and he winked to James who smirked. More names came and went and he waited to hear who the blonde was.

At last ‘McKinnon, Marlene’ was called and she stepped forward. It only took a few seconds and the hat shouted ‘GRYFFINDOR!’ Without even realizing it, he stood up, and scooted over, making room for Marlene McKinnon. She spotted the clear spot and took it, smiling and thanking Sirius. He stood for longer than necessary and she gave him a look, “What’re you doing weirdo. Sit back down.” She said.

He laughed and did so, “Sorry for being chivalrous Miss McKitten.”

“Chivalrous?”

“It means gentlemanly, most women would swoon.”

“You’re eleven and your hair takes up more room at this table than your ego.”

“Touche blondie.”

Her eyebrows raised and he grinned, she turned to watch whoever got sorted next and his eyes lingered on the back of her head. Just looking at how her waves shone under the candles. And it curled a little more in the back than at the front. She cheered loud and he adored it. His attention broke when ‘Potter, James’ was called and his life-long best friend joined him at the table.

Years later, he would only remember a few things from his first weeks at Hogwarts. It was such a blur, but certain memories never faded. Such as meeting James, Remus and Peter, being sorted into Gryffindor, escaping his families clutches and being called a weirdo by one Marlene McKinnon.

Her brilliant smile stayed in his heart even through her funeral. And it kept him warm through the coldest, darkest nights in his Azkaban cell. Her life was cut way too short. It wasn’t fair, nothing about the war was fair. She deserved to be the young, charismatic, carefree kid for at least 90 years, instead of the 20 that she got. Sirius had even been reminiscing about their first meeting with Remus the night before he had died and been reunited with the only woman he ever loved.

I’m so sorry this is short and three days late. This Naya news is hitting me hard.

[marlmckitten]

Marlene was barely breathing. Each tiny breath sent rippling pain down her entire body. Everything hurt, every time the wind caught her hair, she could feel the coolness pierce her, the wind pull her hair. She was sure nothing could make this moment worse. She was dying, she was alone, she was cold and in pain.

If it were possible she would have shrieked in pain when she felt her body move. It was only slightly but when she forced her eyes open she saw that was adjusted so that her head was resting on Sirius' lap. He was stroking her cheeks so lightly that she didn't even feel it. Marlene didn't know what to say, or how. She shook, "It- it's so c- cold."

It was a midsummer afternoon. The sun was shining, it was bright but she felt like she was sitting in a snowstorm. Sirius' voice was not his own. It was unsteady and she could tell that he wanted it to sound as normal as possible but it wasn't. He removed his jacket, the slight movement sent shivers down Marlene's neck. But when he wrapped it around her she realized that he only meant to help. "Is that better McKitten."

She nodded, then winced. Still shaking she felt his hand find hers and she clamped her fingers around it. Marlene wasn't ready to admit that she knew she was dying. And Sirius wasn't either.

"I can see Lily, she's great at healing spells, you're going to be just fine, Marls I promise."

It broke her heart to know that he could not promise that. Sure enough though she did hear Lily's voice. It sounded so distant. The only thing she could focus on was Sirius. Everything else seemed dark. "I love you," she managed to choke out.

It was for the best that she couldn't see Lily, she would have seen her shake her head to Sirius, mouth the words 'I'm sorry'. Lily tried to cover her own tears, she knew it wouldn't do either of them good. Leaning into Sirius' ear she told him to say goodbye to his girlfriend.

All three of them knew that this was the end. Lily kissed Marlene's forehead and left them be. She was always so good at knowing what to do and what not to do. As much as she loved Marlene, she her presence wouldn't help. Sirius was already holding her, all he could do was comfort her in her last moments.

"Sirius."

"Shh, I heard you, I love you too, Marlene. More than anything. And you're gonna be just fine."

"My brothers-" She wanted to make sure that they knew she loved them too. Her whole family.

This was another thing it relieved Sirius to know that she could not see. Her families bodies were scattered around them. She was the only one still breathing, and just barely.

"Yeah, they know you love them, dummy. You're gonna be fine though. Just take a few breaths. Lily is just getting a potion ready."

He wanted to comfort her. His voice shook and she could feel it but, he didn't need to know. He would feel best knowing that he eased her into peace. She forced a smile and squeezed his hand again.

"Does anything hurt right now?"

Another lie, lie after lie but they were to protect him right? Just like his were to protect her. "Just a little c- cold." She coughed. And felt liquid coming out from her mouth. Marlene knew it was blood and tried to wipe it away. She was too weak, and Sirius gently patted her lips for her, before leaning down to kiss them lovingly.

"You'll warm up soon Marls. Promise."

Another promise.

"Once Lily gets this potions, I'll take you home. We'll cuddle and you can have a million blankets, you'll never be cold again."

His voice broke three times in the one sentence. She could hear the tears come through, and feel the warmth of them as they dropped onto her cheeks.

"That sounds nice," her voice was soft, she was growing tired. Sirius went back to stroking her cheek.

"Yeah, it will be. And I'll never let you go again."

A tiny smile, probably just a twitch of her lips, it was the most she could do.

Sirius inhaled deeply before speaking, "Close your eyes Marls, take a deep breath, you need to rest."

"Yeah, tired," she managed, everything was going foggy, she couldn't see his face anymore so she did close her eyes. It was pitch black to her, her skin felt like ice, surely Sirius could feel the warmth leaving her body.

"That's right babe, close your eyes. Get some sleep. I'll be right here. You're not gonna be alone."

"Never?"

"Never again," that one he could have promised, she only had about a minute left, and they both knew it. "I love you Marlene McKinnon. I'll love you until we meet again."

Marlene began to mouth the words back, no noise came out and she got to 'I lo-' but then her mouth hung slightly ajar. Her head went limp on his lap and her heart stopped beating. She died in his arms. He held her so tightly, promising over and over again that he would never stop loving her. She would forever be the one love of his life.

[lullabyknell]

Fleur Delacour had the most impressive performance in the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament, imo, and it is a Crime that she came in last place. Like, sure, maybe what she did took awhile and it wasn’t flashy, but imo she did by far the most impressive, difficult, and most humane piece of magic. 

Like, there’s this pissed off dragon mother, right? It’s been boxed up, taken to this strange place, then stuck in a noisy arena where its eggs are being threatened. This dragon is probably Unbelievably scared and angry. 

It can take 4-8 adult wizards working in tandem to Stun a dragon, especially a pissed off one, but Fleur “fairy princess” Delacour walks into that arena, stares down an angry apex predator, and somehow manages to single-handedly enchant it to sleep. This Common Welsh Green is surrounded by hundreds of people, needs to protect its eggs, but Fleur Delacour’s magic manages to override all of its fear and anger? That is an incredible feat of powerful and probably very complex magic. 

Like, no wonder Fleur Delacour can come off as condescending, that is mind-blowingly impressive. That is the work of 4-8 adult wizards. You cannot tell me that the watching dragon-handlers were not LOSING THEIR MINDS. 

Between sexism and Fleur being part-Veela, it is unfortunately very realistic that she faces a lot of prejudice, but come on, Professors Sprout and Hagrid and etc. must have been going wild. It’s only some very bad luck that her skirt was accidentally set on fire. She got the golden egg. There was zero damage to the dragon or to the real eggs. Even if Madame Maxime and Fleur worked together to prepare it, Fleur still had to do it, and Madame Maxime would have been so rightly furious that Fleur’s bravery and magical skill wasn’t recognized. 

Anyway, part of where I’m going with this, is that this injustice also creates some choice eldest Weasley brother reactions. Like Bill Weasley is writing his regular letters to Charlie, right? And he happens to mention, “Hey, I met this woman at work, on that guardian beast problem with that tomb I was telling you about. Do you remember the Beauxbatons Champion, Fleur Delacour?” 

And Charlie Weasley writes back like, “DO I REMEMBER FLEUR DELACOUR? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WE HAVE A POSTER OF HER ON OUR WALL! I HAVE HER GRADUATING CHARMS THESIS ON CALMING MAGICAL CREATURES AND I WANT IT SIGNED. SHE REVOLUTIONIZED OUR DEALINGS WITH DRAGONS HERE. INJURIES ON THE RESERVE FOR DRAGONS AND HANDLERS ARE DOWN BY LIKE 75% SINCE WE BEGAN IMPLEMENTING HER REINVENTED SPELLWORK.” 

“Uh, alright then. Well, you can send that to me and I will ask her to sign it for you,” Bill Weasley, an extremely successful Curse-Breaker, writes back. (It isn’t that he doesn’t find Fleur Delacour’s accomplishments very impressive, it is just that the poster on the wall thing is a Bit Weird.) “That’s not going to be weird when I ask her out or anything. Wish me luck.” 

And Charlie writes back, “LUCK? LUCK?! WILLIAM WEASLEY, IF YOU DON’T MARRY THAT WOMAN, I’LL DISOWN YOU. TELL HER THAT IF GRINGOTTS DOESN’T APPRECIATE HER, SHE CAN COME TO ROMANIA. WE’RE BROKE, BUT I HAVE A DOZEN MUSCLED WIZARDS, WITCHES, AND OTHERS READY TO PROPOSE TO HER ON THE SPOT.” 

“I was thinking dinner first,” Bill writes back. “But I’ll let her know?” 

So, Fleur initially has to deal with a lot of crap from the Weasley Family, but at least she’s always got Charlie “Number One Fleur Delacour Fan” Weasley in her corner. You’ll catch Uncle Charlie excitedly telling the story of Fleur Delacour in the First Task to Bill’s children forever. 

(Charlie: “IF YOU DON’T MARRY HER THEN I WILL!” 

Bill: “Charlie, you’re not even into women.” 

Charlie: “WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE MOST IMPRESSIVE DRAGON-HANDLING I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE?!!”)

[belleslettres-love]

I accept this as fact.

Hoping that someone has written/will write a fanfic about this! Fleur is so underappreciated in the books, she deserves so much better!

Godric’s Hollow…
