Snake Scales and Serpent Tails
Pairing: Harry Potter/Voldemort
Raiting: mature
Chapter 81
Harry spills the beans about his courtship with Voldemort and his creature inheritance.
My hiatus is over and now I'm getting back into the swing of things.
NEW CHALLENGE
1. FIRST, create a picrew using this maker, and then 2. SECOND take this quiz on how fandom would see you if you were a fictional character. 3 (THIRD) POST YOUR PIC AND YOUR DESCRIPTION IN THE REBLOG!
Bastard (Good)
You’re a bastard. A wet cat, if you will. And we love you for it. You’re a little shit, but in the good way. You are the baddest babygirl. You killed a man, but you looked good doing it. You flirted with the hero and the enemy. All of Tumblr is madly in love with you. Congrats, I guess?
Tagging EVERYONE but especially @magicaltear, @the-beeses-kneeses, @wafflesrisa, @mykingdomforapen, @marbat, @scientistsinistral, @halberdierminister!
Thanks for the tag @weirdbutnicesblog because this was really fun to do!
The Hot One
You’re that one hunk that EVERYONE has a crush on. Your wit and charm is known to make fangirls faint, and half of the entire fandom’s thirst posts are about you. You could eat a cookie and everyone would lose their shit. Congrats, dude.
I tag whoever wants to do it, have fun and enjoy.
Running From Your Past
You have a past you'd prefer not to think about, but boy oh boy does it like to think about you. A bad parent, an old enemy, a job that ended in disaster. No matter how far your run or how well you hide, it will find you eventually.
Knowing a fic author through AO3 is like attending someone’s thesis presentation and politely clapping at the end, knowing a fic author through this hellsite is like going over to their house at 3AM to watch them eat mayonnaise out of a jar
Sometimes I attend somebody’s thesis presentation and I’m so impressed that I follow them home to watch them eat mayonnaise out of a jar at 3am.
Sometimes I watch someone eat mayonnaise out of a jar at 3am with such fervour I am compelled to attend their thesis presentation
Sometimes I only watch a thesis presentation if it's about eating mayonnaise at 3am.
When we adopted Hershey, he was really nervous about going outside. We think his previous family abandoned him and that left a bad feeling for Hershey. I've been working with him, taking him into the backyard on a harness, and we have finally gotten to the point where he's a loud demanding butthead wanting to go outside.
And so, I give you Hershey!
I have made a horrible mistake.
He is a very loud demanding cat and WILL NOT stop making noise in order to go outside

I really wish I could report ads. @staff you keep showing me an ad for an adult toy. I'm seriously not interested. For a site that went all "think of the kids! Not tits!" You really suck at keeping your site "clean"
Also, as a reminder to the idiot porn bots: if you follow me I will report you and block you.
Rereading the Harry Potter books.
Chap 1 of book 1:
- knowing what I do about the statute of secrecy, the day after Voldemort vanished, I can't help but feel bad for the people in charge of hiding magic. Shooting stars, owls everywhere, and a ton of people wearing cloaks. Makes me wonder just how much magic happened that was covered up if that's what wasn't covered up.
- its mentioned that the Voldemort vanished "last night". That McGonagall was watching the Dursleys all day, but where the fun was Harry during the nearly 24 hours of celebration????
- how is it that EVERYONE knows that Voldemort is gone and that he failed to kill Harry? The house was under a fidelius so people didn't just see the murders. Maybe Harry wasn't even the target and Voldemort left him alive because he was a baby? Who decided that Voldemort vanished because of Harry? Who was it that decided that it was even Voldemort that killed the Potters anyway? Maybe Peter did it and he lost his nerve when it came to Harry. The Death Eaters wouldn't have said anything, because who the hell would ever admit their Supreme leader was too weak to kill a baby?
-Hagrid told McGonagall that he was going to the Dursleys. But when did he do this? Before or after he had Harry?
-timeline makes no sense. No sense at all.
- how the fuck does Dumbkedore know that Harry's scar was caused by voldemort and not by something else???!!
-never once did McGonagall say "they're the worst sorts of muggles imaginable"
- just how did the rumors even fucking start?!?
Chapter 2:
- Harry did infact eat breakfast.
- harry only stayed with miss Figg once a year, on Dudleys birthday. Meaning he was actually taken with the Dursleys during any other trip or event they went to.
- although Harry was treated badly, Harry wasn't hit. Punishment mostly consisted of Harry being kept in his cupboard. Dudley and Piers were the ones that hit Harry regularly.
-the snake at the zoo winked at Harry even before Harry said anything to it.
-Dudley did not fall into the snake enclosure.
-how the fuck did magical people know what Harry looked like when he was a kid?
Chapter 3
- Harry is left at Figgs when Petunia and Dudley go to get Dudleys uniform. Probably means that Harry does go to Figgs more often then once a year, but only when it involves a "special" day for Dudley.
- Harry often talks back at his uncle.
- the Dursley home has 4 bedrooms, not 3 like some fan stories state
- Dudley once had a parrot. He also had a tortoise, but threw it through the greenhouse roof
-Vernon actually tried to be nice to Harry the day after the first letter arrived
-Vernon's personality is very different in the books versus the movie. Not nearly as violent. He doesn't care about Harry, but he also doesn't absolutely hate him. More like he takes his responsibilities seriously, which includes raising his nephew.
-not once has Petunia or Vernon call Harry a freak before Hagrid shows up
Chapter 4
- Hagrid immediately recognizes Harry.
-the movies really do make Harry's life out to be a lot worse than it is. At least, his life before he goes to hogwarts
-Harry thinks about how his marks at school aren't bad. So he's not stupid and doesn't pretend to be.
-Hagrid had an OWL from his pocket.
-I really get the feeling that Vernon and Petunia don't hate Harry because of his magic, but because of wmagic in general. They don't love Harry, but I feel like they have been trying to protect him from magic because of everything that magic has done. Petunia lost her sister, whom she had been close to growing up. Lost her every year Lily went to school, and then lost her when she died because of a psycho with magic murdered her. They want Harry to be normal so that magic won't hurt him like it did his mother. Yes Petunia was jealous, but she had loved her sister.
- "then she met that Potter at school and they left". The wording there makes it sound like Petunia felt abandoned by her sister
- Hagrid tells Harry's story in front of the dursleys. Tells him that no one knows why voldemort attacked Harry's family.
- again, HOW DO PEOPLE KNOW voldemort tried to kill Harry??? The scar was made by dark magic, but the killing curse isn't the only darm spell.
- Hagrid took Harry from the house, but still I can't help but wonder how it took almost 24 hours for Harry to get to the dursleys.
- Hagrid attacked dudley in anger after Vernon insulted Dumbledore. He attacked a kid who wasn't saying or doing anything. In the movie he ate Harry's cake, but inthe books he hadn't done that.
- Hagrid was expelled in his 3rd year.
Chapter 6
-my God is Hagrid racist against muggles
- 3 robes seems like not enough clothes...
- again, how do people know what Harry looks like?!
- pretty sure Diggle might have been one of the people to tell everyone what Harry looks like
-there's no mention of a turban on Quirrels head. So is he not possessed at the moment?
- the color combination of scarlet and gold is really common I've noticed.
- the goblins aren't nearly as grumpy in the books.
- those bank carts must be huge, seeing as how Hagrid and Harry fit in one together
- what the heck was the green smoke that billowed out of Harry's vault?
- how and why did jkr come up with the conversion rate??
-Harry was never given his key!!!! Hagrid is also the one who scooped up Harry's bag of money. Harry doesn't even know how much he had been given.
- poor Draco, trying so hard to show off for Harry and failing miserably. So desperate to make a new friend, but too spoiled to know how not to be snobbish
- Hagrid knows what soccer is, lol
- my God Ollivander is creepy as fuck. So very creepy
- when did Harry buy his trunk? For that matter, why was Harry's trunk so normal? Maybe he had a muggle trunk, because I'd think a magic trunk would be light weight or shrink on its own.
- Hagrid sent Harry home on his own! Omg what if someone had kidnapped or hurt Harry?!
Chapter 6
- just how did the Dursleys explain to the doctor about Dudleys piggy tail?
- I really wonder why the weasleys used the muggle entrance of the platform. Since Arthur isn't there, maybe they couldn't use the car?
- yeah Ron totally obviously sought out the train car that Harry was in.
- oh my God Hermione is sooooo annoying
- I really dislike Draco. Insulting Ron and threatening Harry. He's an absolute prick.
Chapter 7
- how is it that the sorting hat is so much of a secret? Hermione read Hogwarts a History and yet it wasn't mentioned? And surely the wizarding parents would have said SOMETHING, at least some of them?
- fighting a troll is never mentioned while they wait to be sorted, Ron just says that his brothers called it a type of test. There's no interaction with Draco or any other student while they wait
- the sorting hat is never cleaned. Patched and dirty.
- I can't help but wonder what happens to the dripping wax from the floating candles. Are they enchanted not to drip or melt? Or does the dripping wax vanish before falling? And why candles? They don't give off a lot of light and with them floating the light isn't exactly shining where it should. And with the amount of candles needed to light the entire hall, that would be a LOT of heat. Seems rather inefficient when you can summon light from a wand, surely there's other ways to make light sources in the magical world?
- the hat specifically says that you can make your real friends in Slytherin. Think about what that says about the other houses
- only after the hat stops singing does Ron whisper that Fred said they'd have to wrestle a troll
- I agree with Harry, being sorted in front of everyone would be very nerve wracking
-(facing away from teacher table) hufflepuff table to the right, ravenclaw second from left, gryffindor is far left, so slytherin is second from the right
- Hermione was a quick decision but Neville took awhile
- honestly, what would happen if one house only got like 5 students while another got like 30????
- "the dursleys had never exactly starved Harry, but he'd never been allowed to eat as much as he liked."
- poor sir Nicholas, he really dislikes being called nearly headless.
- how is it that slytherin has won the house cup 6 years in a row? I thought Gryffindor has gotten it while Charlie had been in school? Or was that just the quidditch cup?
- I really want to punch great uncle algie
- and finally quirrells turbin is mentioned
- the fact that students take Dumbledores death threat seriously really makes me question the magical education system.
- the hogwarts song is absolutely ridiculous
- of I'd gone to hogwarts, I'd have gotten lost constantly. Seriously, so many hidden doorways just to get to the dorms
- peeves is so great
- they get to the dorms and no rules, no welcome speech, nothing
- harry had a nightmare about quirrells turbin telling him to transfer into Slytherin and I can't help but wonder if that was the first time Voldemort tried to connect to Harry
Chapter 8
- just how do the teachers expect the students to even get to class on time?! My God Hogwarts would fit right in with King Gareths labyrinth.
- it wasn't the first transfiguration class that Ron and Harry were late for
- my God Snape is a drama queen. Snape took 1 ppint for Harry's cheek, which honestly was disvered since Harry was cheeky at the end. The second point was unfair though.
- why did Hagrid have a cutout of the gringotts breaking just lying around on the table? Not even the full paper, but a cutout if the article! Suspicious
Chapter 9
- harry really REALLY hates Draco.
- the magical world is really obsessed with quidditch and flying. Like, way more than I remember
- ya know, with how famous Harry is, why doesn't he get fan mail? That's never been explained
- why didn't Madam hooch do something when Neville fell? There are spells to slow someone, Dumbledore used it on Harry in book 3, so why didn't Hooch save Neville? Instead he broke his wrist from the fall. And surely Hooch could have used a summoning spell to put the brooms away or lock them up so no student could fly without her
- on that note, why aren't the teachers more competent about protecting their students?
- it was flitwicks class, not quirrells that Wood was in after the stunt with the brooms
- it's no wonder that the Gryffindor house is the house of trouble makers. McGonagall cared more about making Harry a seeker than the fact he could have hurt himself. Their head of house cares about rules in her classroom, but she couldn't give a shit when it involves quidditch
-"we haven't won a game since Charlie left" my dudes, your brother graduated LAST YEAR.
- I really feel like half the trouble with Malfoy could have been avoided if Ron hadn't egged the situation on. After all, he's the one that agreed to the duel with Malfoy, not Harry.
- Ron and Harry wore bathrobes to the midnight duel! BATHROBES???!!
- I completely forgot about how Neville had been locked outside of Gryffindor. Everyone thought he was still in the hospital wing and didn't even second guess about that. Poor Neville
- if I locked in a room that had barely enough room for me to stand in, and no obvious food or water, I'd be just as angry as Fluffy. Poor puppy locked away all alone with barely any room to move. With how much Hagrid loves his creatures, how could he be at all ok with fluffy being locked away in such a small space?
THIS. I saw a post the other day that literally said if you do it to a fictional character, you’ll do it in real life.
No. Just NO.
I’m so glad someone put it into words.
Lin-Manuel Miranda is a legend, and he’s absolutely right.
And I really feel like there are parts of fandom that don’t get or don’t believe this, and I think that’s troubling. I’ve seen arguments that people shouldn’t have dark fantasies, or that bad impulses in themselves make a bad person. I’ve seen so much shaming over thoughts.
And if you get to a point where it’s bad to have dark thoughts and it’s bad to wonder what something would be like and it’s bad to put yourself in the shoes of anyone who isn’t “pure”, if fiction is no longer a realm where you can confront and explore, but an ongoing test of moral purity… well, maybe not everyone’s brain works like mine, but I feel like that takes away something incredibly important to being human.
Purity culture is gonna kill art if y’all let it.
Fiction is a safe place to explore whatever fucked up or dark desire that you have. You can write the most vile and fucked up shit in fiction and it be absolutely nothing you desire in real life. You can write about a serial killer who gets away with it. You can write about someone who goes on moral crusades to purge the world of all evils and still be the protagonist. You can write anything in fiction because that’s what it is meant for.
It isn’t meant to be a social commentary unless you create it to be.
It isn’t meant to be educational unless you create it to be.
Sometimes a story can be just that, a story. Entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less.
Not everything has to be deep, or have meaning, etc. unless the creator wants it to be and a lot of the purity types end up forcing something to have deep meaning or social commentary where it isn’t meant to. Is this inherently bad? No, but these people don’t just say “But this is my interpretation of it.” they go as far as trying to force that interpretation onto everyone else, including the creator, as a means of saying “See? It means that they promote/condone xyz so they’re bad and shitty people who should spend the rest of their life in jail with/are the same as people who’ve actually committed acts of violence against other people.”
THANK. YOU.
@ all the people in the notes saying “yes except u can’t write about (list of immoral things they don’t want to see in fiction)” congrats on missing the point so spectacularly I’m not sure I could create better performance art if I tried
“You can’t write about this [insert bad thing here]! It’s immoral and evil and—”
What are you? Protestant? Thought crime isn’t real, ya twit.
Fiction is for putting your brain’s little raccoon hands all over a situation without having to actually electrocute yourself by touching the electric wire because unlike a raccoon you can read the sign that says it will electrocute you
@defilerwyrm
Yes, actually, they are DEEPLY Protestant. Antis are Puritans. Thought crimes, sex is bad, kink is bad, porn is bad, revealing clothing is bad, fiction is bad, crushes are bad, having a sex life at any age is bad, minority representation is bad unless it meets some ephemeral, ever-shifting goalpost of perfection (ie, it’s always bad), no separation between art/fiction and reality, attacking queer people for making queer art, victim-blaming, witch hunts, won’t somebody please think of the children—these kids are EXTREMELY conservative and many of them don’t even realize it because they wrap their medieval Christian bullshit in the language of progressivism.
It’s only a matter of time before they start getting actively recruited by white supremacists, mark my words. They already spread real CSEM. Purity culture is a danger to everyone and needs to be stamped out.

- Dudley once had a parrot. He also had a tortoise, but threw it through the greenhouse roof
-Vernon actually tried to be nice to Harry the day after the first letter arrived
-Vernon's personality is very different in the books versus the movie. Not nearly as violent. He doesn't care about Harry, but he also doesn't absolutely hate him. More like he takes his responsibilities seriously, which includes raising his nephew.
-not once has Petunia or Vernon call Harry a freak before Hagrid shows up
Chapter 4
- Hagrid immediately recognizes Harry.
-the movies really do make Harry's life out to be a lot worse than it is. At least, his life before he goes to hogwarts
-Harry thinks about how his marks at school aren't bad. So he's not stupid and doesn't pretend to be.
-Hagrid had an OWL from his pocket.
-I really get the feeling that Vernon and Petunia don't hate Harry because of his magic, but because of wmagic in general. They don't love Harry, but I feel like they have been trying to protect him from magic because of everything that magic has done. Petunia lost her sister, whom she had been close to growing up. Lost her every year Lily went to school, and then lost her when she died because of a psycho with magic murdered her. They want Harry to be normal so that magic won't hurt him like it did his mother. Yes Petunia was jealous, but she had loved her sister.
- "then she met that Potter at school and they left". The wording there makes it sound like Petunia felt abandoned by her sister
- Hagrid tells Harry's story in front of the dursleys. Tells him that no one knows why voldemort attacked Harry's family.
- again, HOW DO PEOPLE KNOW voldemort tried to kill Harry??? The scar was made by dark magic, but the killing curse isn't the only darm spell.
- Hagrid took Harry from the house, but still I can't help but wonder how it took almost 24 hours for Harry to get to the dursleys.
- Hagrid attacked dudley in anger after Vernon insulted Dumbledore. He attacked a kid who wasn't saying or doing anything. In the movie he ate Harry's cake, but inthe books he hadn't done that.
- Hagrid was expelled in his 3rd year.
Chapter 6
-my God is Hagrid racist against muggles
- 3 robes seems like not enough clothes...
- again, how do people know what Harry looks like?!
- pretty sure Diggle might have been one of the people to tell everyone what Harry looks like
-there's no mention of a turban on Quirrels head. So is he not possessed at the moment?
- the color combination of scarlet and gold is really common I've noticed.
- the goblins aren't nearly as grumpy in the books.
- those bank carts must be huge, seeing as how Hagrid and Harry fit in one together
- what the heck was the green smoke that billowed out of Harry's vault?
- how and why did jkr come up with the conversion rate??
-Harry was never given his key!!!! Hagrid is also the one who scooped up Harry's bag of money. Harry doesn't even know how much he had been given.
- poor Draco, trying so hard to show off for Harry and failing miserably. So desperate to make a new friend, but too spoiled to know how not to be snobbish
- Hagrid knows what soccer is, lol
- my God Ollivander is creepy as fuck. So very creepy
- when did Harry buy his trunk? For that matter, why was Harry's trunk so normal? Maybe he had a muggle trunk, because I'd think a magic trunk would be light weight or shrink on its own.
- Hagrid sent Harry home on his own! Omg what if someone had kidnapped or hurt Harry?!
Chapter 6
- just how did the Dursleys explain to the doctor about Dudleys piggy tail?
- I really wonder why the weasleys used the muggle entrance of the platform. Since Arthur isn't there, maybe they couldn't use the car?
- yeah Ron totally obviously sought out the train car that Harry was in.
- oh my God Hermione is sooooo annoying
- I really dislike Draco. Insulting Ron and threatening Harry. He's an absolute prick.
Chapter 7
- how is it that the sorting hat is so much of a secret? Hermione read Hogwarts a History and yet it wasn't mentioned? And surely the wizarding parents would have said SOMETHING, at least some of them?
- fighting a troll is never mentioned while they wait to be sorted, Ron just says that his brothers called it a type of test. There's no interaction with Draco or any other student while they wait
- the sorting hat is never cleaned. Patched and dirty.
- I can't help but wonder what happens to the dripping wax from the floating candles. Are they enchanted not to drip or melt? Or does the dripping wax vanish before falling? And why candles? They don't give off a lot of light and with them floating the light isn't exactly shining where it should. And with the amount of candles needed to light the entire hall, that would be a LOT of heat. Seems rather inefficient when you can summon light from a wand, surely there's other ways to make light sources in the magical world?
- the hat specifically says that you can make your real friends in Slytherin. Think about what that says about the other houses
- only after the hat stops singing does Ron whisper that Fred said they'd have to wrestle a troll
- I agree with Harry, being sorted in front of everyone would be very nerve wracking
-(facing away from teacher table) hufflepuff table to the right, ravenclaw second from left, gryffindor is far left, so slytherin is second from the right
- Hermione was a quick decision but Neville took awhile
- honestly, what would happen if one house only got like 5 students while another got like 30????
- "the dursleys had never exactly starved Harry, but he'd never been allowed to eat as much as he liked."
- poor sir Nicholas, he really dislikes being called nearly headless.
- how is it that slytherin has won the house cup 6 years in a row? I thought Gryffindor has gotten it while Charlie had been in school? Or was that just the quidditch cup?
- I really want to punch great uncle algie
- and finally quirrells turbin is mentioned
- the fact that students take Dumbledores death threat seriously really makes me question the magical education system.
- the hogwarts song is absolutely ridiculous
- of I'd gone to hogwarts, I'd have gotten lost constantly. Seriously, so many hidden doorways just to get to the dorms
- peeves is so great
- they get to the dorms and no rules, no welcome speech, nothing
- harry had a nightmare about quirrells turbin telling him to transfer into Slytherin and I can't help but wonder if that was the first time Voldemort tried to connect to Harry
Rereading the Harry Potter books.
Chap 1 of book 1:
- knowing what I do about the statute of secrecy, the day after Voldemort vanished, I can't help but feel bad for the people in charge of hiding magic. Shooting stars, owls everywhere, and a ton of people wearing cloaks. Makes me wonder just how much magic happened that was covered up if that's what wasn't covered up.
- its mentioned that the Voldemort vanished "last night". That McGonagall was watching the Dursleys all day, but where the fun was Harry during the nearly 24 hours of celebration????
- how is it that EVERYONE knows that Voldemort is gone and that he failed to kill Harry? The house was under a fidelius so people didn't just see the murders. Maybe Harry wasn't even the target and Voldemort left him alive because he was a baby? Who decided that Voldemort vanished because of Harry? Who was it that decided that it was even Voldemort that killed the Potters anyway? Maybe Peter did it and he lost his nerve when it came to Harry. The Death Eaters wouldn't have said anything, because who the hell would ever admit their Supreme leader was too weak to kill a baby?
-Hagrid told McGonagall that he was going to the Dursleys. But when did he do this? Before or after he had Harry?
-timeline makes no sense. No sense at all.
- how the fuck does Dumbkedore know that Harry's scar was caused by voldemort and not by something else???!!
-never once did McGonagall say "they're the worst sorts of muggles imaginable"
- just how did the rumors even fucking start?!?
Chapter 2:
- Harry did infact eat breakfast.
- harry only stayed with miss Figg once a year, on Dudleys birthday. Meaning he was actually taken with the Dursleys during any other trip or event they went to.
- although Harry was treated badly, Harry wasn't hit. Punishment mostly consisted of Harry being kept in his cupboard. Dudley and Piers were the ones that hit Harry regularly.
-the snake at the zoo winked at Harry even before Harry said anything to it.
-Dudley did not fall into the snake enclosure.
-how the fuck did magical people know what Harry looked like when he was a kid?
Chapter 3
- Harry is left at Figgs when Petunia and Dudley go to get Dudleys uniform. Probably means that Harry does go to Figgs more often then once a year, but only when it involves a "special" day for Dudley.
- Harry often talks back at his uncle.
- the Dursley home has 4 bedrooms, not 3 like some fan stories state
- Dudley once had a parrot. He also had a tortoise, but threw it through the greenhouse roof
