ahh okay so im reading “i will not raise forgotten flags” and im absolutely LOVINNG it so far. im peruvian-venezuelan and it has always been a headcannon of me that the incas had magic and seeing that come to life in a fic is just aaahhh amazing. i love the worldbuilding and the writing is so great!! 💛💛

oh my gosh thank you for this! i’m so so glad you’re loving it - the idea came about because my best friend was studying the Incas for one of her essays and started telling me about it and I also have a thing for expanding the wizarding world and wizarding history, so i thought those two could fit together :D

Headcanon that after the war Harry decided to start taking more photos. He's lost so many people and he hardly has photographs of any of them to remember them by so he decides he wants to start trying to capture memories in photographs so he'll always have them. He brings his polaroid camera to Hogwarts for Newts year and as he collects photos he hangs them on the wall above his bed.

One of him Ron, and Hermione visiting Hagrid

Some of Hermione studying

A couple of Ron playing chess

One of Luna making a flower crown for Ginny while they sat with Neville under a tree by the lake

One Hermione took of him and Ron goofing off on their broomsticks

Several from the first Eighth year party including the one of Seamus dancing on a table drunk.

Once he and Draco start spending more time together Harry starts sneakily taking photos of him studying, of him flying, or any other time he can. And he, Blaise, and Pansy seem to be showing up a lot more often in the group photos or ones taken at parties.

One of his favourites is the one Hermione took of him and Draco slumped together laughing on a sofa in the common room the night Blaise tripped and fell into the cake he'd nicked from the kitchens. (The photo of Blaise laying facedown on the floor in said cake is also hanging up there.)

That photo was what made Harry finally ask Draco out on a date to Hogsmeade.

He had a photo of them after their date, but it went "missing" Draco denies having any knowledge of its whereabouts.

There's one of Pansy and Hermione arguing with Ron and Blaise that Draco laughs at every time he sees it.

There's several with just him and each one of his friends (new and old)

One of Draco giving him a halfhearted glare and flipping him off, Harry loves it because despite that he's still smiling in it. (Harry wrote "He hates me 🖤" on the bottom of it)

Ones from Christmas morning of them all opening gifts together since their entire group stayed at Hogwarts.

The two Pansy took when she caught him and Draco snogging in a corner on NYE.

Too many of him and Draco to count but his absolute favourite is the one of Harry kissing his cheek that Draco took of them (selfie style). His eyes were closed from the flash but he was smiling and Harry thinks he looks adorable in it.

The one of Draco curled up asleep in his bed wearing his Weasley jumper is a close second.

Many from the the first annual N.E.W.T Olympics a studying game for the 7th and 8th years he, Draco, and Blaise came up with (with Hermione's help) that Mcgonagall liked so much she decided to make it a thing for all 7th years going forward.

He's a bit sad when term ends and he has to take them all down, but he knows he'll hang them in his flat as soon as he gets home & continue to add to them.

And as hes packing them away he smiles at all the happy memories and new friends he made this year and for once he's not sad to leave because he knows he'll make more memories with the people who made Hogwarts home.

we carry on through the storm, tired soldiers in this war. remember what we’re fighting for.

(part one of @permetstu’s early birthday present)

Finally free of Azkaban, all Draco Malfoy wants to do is bury himself in the Muggle world until he mummifies. Unfortunately fate, his father, and one Harry James Potter have different ideas.

So I just finished writing my very first Drarry fic, featuring Farmer!Draco, found families, ridiculous animals, an awful lot of pining, and Lucius Malfoy being the worst kind of asshole and it was a lot of fun, so...yeah. Figured I’d share it on here too :D

wish women’s fitness was more about boosting our energy and getting our bones and joints ready for our old age and getting strong enough to punch men and less about losing weight while getting a bigger ass

Wish women's fitness was more about joyfully moving our bodies to heal our minds and less about avoiding the shame of not being fuckable.

Looking back, HP would have been so much more interesting if Our trio had been sorted into the houses they were meant to represent from the get go.

Harry still would have met Ron and Hermione on the train. Harry would have learned about the difference between Slytherin and Griffyndor and had an immediate gut reaction against Malfoy's Slytherin connection, only to end up being saddled with him for the next 7 years. Harry's own inner angst about his identity and place within the wizarding world would take a somewhat darker turn than canon, teasing out threads they were already there.

Ron and all the adults would have to deal with the knowledge that the Chosen One™️ is now in the "bad" house. How does that muddle Dumbledore's and the ministry's expectations and plans to use Harry and his image to fight Voldemort?

How better to to get across the point that "it is our choices, rather than our abilities" than to truly juxtapose Slytherin!Harry using Slytherin strengths to beat Voldemort at his own game?

Harry and Snape would have had to come to terms with each other much earlier, showing us their struggle to change and giving us a chance to actually care about Snape's past and eventual sacrifice? Both Draco and Snape would have had a much longer timeframe to find (and earn) their redemption arcs, more along the lines of Zuko (and Iroh?) in ALTA.

Hermione would have the chance to learn amongst like-minded students while also becoming more tolerant of eccentricity even within the "smart" crowd by befriending Luna.

Ron would have to outgrow his own ( family inforced) learned prejudice against Slytherin if he wants to keep his new best friend. Struggling but slowly learning that loyalty and bravery do indeed come in many forms, including the recognizing past faults and forgiving oneself for mistakes made from past assumptions. As being the main Gryffindor of the trio, he would also have time to hone his chess skills with McGonagall, his very talent that sets him apart from the rest.

In Hufflepuff, Neville could have had all the time in the world to bond with professor Sprout and learn all about Herbology, while also learning confidence and camaraderie without judgement and perhaps receive support for the trauma caused by his childhood.

Without a common house to share between our main cast, a new meeting place would have to be found. This would highlight the outdated and ultimately harmful model of Hogwarts' reliance on the house system that has grown stagnant and exclusionary. Certainly it's better to let friend groups form naturally regardless of house loyalty, rather than trying to keep everyone pigeon-holled for 7 years?

By being given a chance to look into each of the houses and taking a more in depth look into a larger cast of characters, we could have explored the dynamics and tensions JKR really wanted to examine. We would have had more of a chance to learn and unlearn the inherent prejudices within Hogwarts and the wizarding world at large. What else could have been incorporated with this view? Sexuality and gender? Extended class and racial discrimination themes? commentary on British colonialism?

The main message of HP has always been that love and friendship wins in the end. The only way forward is through unity and tolerance and accepting those around you for their strengths while acknowledging their differences and working together for a better future. It simply seems a shame that the opportunity to bank on that wasn't taken as far as it could have been.

TL:DR

I will always love Harry Potter, and media and pop culture wouldn't be where it is today without it but goddamn I wish it had been written now with a more modern view than we had back in 1997. (And unfortunately JKR still seems stuck in '97 🙄)
