Parselmouth and Proud

I'm Nyx Snape/Carrow and I am a Parselmouth and friend of Delphini. My mother is Alecto and my father is Severus. (To ask me instead of my OC, please say that so I don't respond as Nyx) (I'm going to say this blog is 18+ so it can't bite me later. This is an ask blog, and I will answer almost anything. I'll do my best to answer as many asks as possible.)

Hello, I am back and I bring these 'cookies'

"Thank you, they are much appreciated!"

[asknyxsnape]

Noodle is at first freightened of Asmodeus, but they quickly calm down when they realise he isn't a threat.

"I don't know if I'm a hatchling. I just came out of an egg some time ago and then started life. Wait, is that what a hatchling is?" Noodle asked the other snake

[OOC: sorry I disppeared for ages!]

"That's what a hatchling is, yes," the older snake explained, "If you came out of your egg recently, you are a hatchling."

Nyx smiled a the two, relieved that Asmodeus and his good temperament seem to not frighten the little one too much.

She returned with a few dead mice, food for both.

TW: Bullying, Abuse Mentions, and everything going along with Harry's childhood

I feel like talking about the whole "Horcrux made Dursleys abusive" and my take on it.

There is plenty of evidence for and against it. I think it's true in that it had effects, but not to the point where it caused anything. Perhaps it made things worse, but definitely didn't cause it.

There's the obvious evidence with the locket making people worse and yada yada you've heard the theory one million times already and it's biggest rebuttal. That being that no one else is effected. In the Wizarding World, Harry is liked for the most part. He spends more time with the Weasleys, yet he is essentially another son.

Petunia and Vernon were obviously bad. This pattern doesn't continue in the wizarding world. I just established that. Theory debunked?

Not quite. Vernon, Dudley, Petunia, and everyone else during that point is a muggle. Presumably, it could be something like wands or Hogwarts, except the reverse. Muggles are affected, wizards are not because of their magic.

We also may be able to say that Harry went to a shitty school even before Hogwarts or that the theory at least has more merit in that we don't see any muggles treat him particularly well.

Dudley presumably got away with bullying on school property or at least having teachers hear about it. And not one shows the slightest concern? His(Dudley's) friends certainly don't treat Harry well, either. Adding fuel.

Okay, theory true? Dursleys are not to blame for their actions and they would have been good, were it not for the Horcruxes? NO! Not even close.

The effects can also be fought if you try hard enough/may not even take place if you are remotely a good person. We have that through the Grangers and through Dudley. The Grangers, I believe, met Harry once and were perfectly civil and never did anything wrong. And Dudley, despite living with Harry AND having the parents that he did, managed to grow as a person.

Hence, I don't think the Horcrux theory is the root cause. But I do think it may have contributed to the severity. Harry still would have had a less than ideal childhood and probably still been bullied by Dudley, just maybe not to the extent in canon.

What are some character flaws of Lily

I think she is a grey character like everyone else and that unfortunately doesn't get talked about nearly enough, so thank you!

First off, I need to say that some of these flaws she may have grown out of. Our best content to get to know her is during her time at Hogwarts, where she is anywhere from 11-18(as some seventh years inevitably turn eighteen and I don't feel like googling her b-day).

She is indecisive, or on the flip side, is too decisive. It's one of them, as the scene can be taken in two different ways. I tend to go with the latter, but there is evidence for both.

She defends Snape from the Marauders, knows what they do is wrong. But she also defends them TO Snape verbally. She has decided that compared to the Slytherins, they are better and this somehow semi-excuses what they do.

The "be grateful that James saved your life" bit is worth noting, but not for the reason you think. She doesn't know the exact situation behind what happened, so I can understand the Marauders/Dumbledore saying something that makes them seem like heroes. It does strike me a bit odd that she wouldn't question his side of the werewolf incident at all, even if he couldn't tell her exactly what happened. In my opinion, at this point in time, she sees the Marauders as good people making childish mistakes(as she still does find them problematic at the very least) and Slytherins as bad people.

Another is a lack of judgement. This one is less on Lily, more on her creator, but it's worth noting. James tried to blackmail her into a date, and has probably asked her out multiple times. Not taking no for an answer and then using my best friend's safety as leverage? I don't care who you are, I'm not dating you after all of that. You are a danger to me and may try and coerce me into other things.

I can also see her being unable to empathize, to an extent(this being one she may or may not have grown out of, as many children struggle with this). This time, Petunia and Snape are examples.

From what I can gather, Lily was the golden child in her family. Pretty, talented, and then magic comes in and makes her even more special. She has been shown to love her sister, but we never see a scene where she makes an attempt to understand her.

But canonical evidence without any inference or deeper meaning is also existent. Her treatment of her friend getting sexually assaulted. She stifled a laugh. At her friend being sexually assaulted(as there is no way James stopped after removing pants. There was chanting, he probably planned it anyway, and Lily stopped defending Snape) I'm sorry, but that isn't acceptable no matter who it is. I will say that this is partially a product of the time and growing apart.

This is not to say Lily is the Devil. She's not and has plenty of character strengths too. But I am glad I received this because I rarely see her flaws talked about

why do you think Draco and James are treated so differently for their bullying

I don't really think they are treated too differently. Both have stans who deny everything, but Draco admittedly has less people who want his guts.

I think this is for a few reasons.

One is the narrative's treatment of both characters. Draco is never treated like he's anything but a bully. James, by contrast, is set up as a good person and the narrative continues to treat him as such, despite very little evidence he even grew up. Yes, he has a few call out scenes, but they never address just how bad he was and someone is always very quick to defend him.

Another is background. Both are spoiled, had their magic nurtured, and very loved. But Draco is more understandable, as he inherited his prejudice from his parents and Lucius Malfoy doesn't treat people well either. You know exactly why Draco is the way he is. James? From what we see, his parents didn't raise him to hate anyone. He has a poor(and secretly werewolf) friend. His crush was on a muggleborn. These never cause problems for him at home. Maybe he was raised to hate Slytherins? But even so, we don't have enough information to safely infer that in the same sense we do for Draco's own behavior.

A third is just what they do. I'm not going to say Draco is harmless, because he's not. He very much bullies Neville and can be dangerous. But James? He sexually assaulted someone because Sirius was bored. He also made Snape at the very least jumpy, who unlike Neville, doesn't scare easy. Draco also challenges Harry to fair fights. One on one. James doesn't give his victims that curtesy.

Draco also suffered for his actions(not directly, but he was still hurt). Draco lived in constant fear for a good while. Voldemort lived in his house and were he to fail in reparations of the Vanishing Cabinet, his family is dead. Going back to the narrative thing, we saw him suffer.

James, presumably, got a quick death off screen/page. His death doesn't make us feel that much sympathy for him. It makes us feel sympathy for Harry. Yes, living in hiding couldn't be easy. But that isn't shown the same way Draco's fear of Voldemort was.

[asktheheirofslytherin]

No, no, I saw Nagini eating a rat not that long ago. Unrelated, have you seen Wormt-

Eat something? If you are dead set on pudding, some. If not, I know how to cook something. Dad taught me how to navigate a kitchen.

Alcohol. Specifically Firewhiskey.

What is your favorite memory of your father

My favorite memory would have to be when I was six. He had been teaching me about potions for years now, and would let me add some ingredients. This one was the first one where I did everything. He helped me chop, dice, and otherwise cut up ingredients. But he didn't do it for me. And I was the one who measured everything, added everything, and the one who stirred it. It isn't a big deal, when you look at my brewing skills now. But it is a very fond memory of mine.

Noodle is a little anxious about there being another snake, but they trust you that the other snake will be calm, so Noodle is happy to go inside still

"Alright. let's take this slowly. Asmodeus, come out"

Asmodeus slithers out from wherever he was hiding and comes over and slithers up a coat rack so he is closer to Nyx.

"I need you to be very gentle with the little one. Their name is Noodle."

"You don't have to worry about me." He then slithers closer to the small snake by going on Nyx's arm. She is mindful of how close he is, as not to scare the little one.

He then speaks again. "Hello. You are quite small. Are you perhaps a hatchling?"

[asknyxsnape]

"yes please" Noodle stays comfortably where they are, waiting to be carried inside

“Alright, Noodle. Let’s go. My father is home, but he likes snakes so you’ll be fine. I should warn you of my own snake, Asmodeus. He is venemous, but he won’t bite you. He’s a very calm snake“

Nyx carefully stands up so Noodle will remain comfortable, and starts heading inside

[asknyxsnape]

"hmmm... I think I like Noodle" the smol snek eats the snail out of its shell and then thanks you

I’m glad you like it. And its not problem at all, little one. Would you like to come inside? It’s a bit cold.

[asknyxsnape]

"hm, no, you should choose a name for me! And I feel like eating... a snail, maybe?" the smol snek requested.

Alright. Which do you prefer for a name? Coral, Onyx, Noodle, Ash, or Thorn? And Accio snail shell! *Nyx catches a snail shell, with a snail in it* Here little one. *Nyx then holds the snail up to the little snake, who has not left the warm spot around her neck.*
