this is something quite different, but I really enjoyed doing this and I hope you guys enjoy reading it!

◤¤ He whistled along to Celestina Warbeck’s “Beat Back Those Bludgers, Boys, and Chuck That Quaffle Here” as he stirred the contents of the cauldron four times clockwise, then two and a half times anti-clockwise. Even sooner than he had expected, his mother shouted down from the living room to the basement where he was working, threatening that whoever she caught singing the Puddlemere chant would be on De-Gnoming Duty next. He swiftly stopped whistling, but a small laugh escaped, he couldn’t help the chant being so catchy, nor his mother’s intense love of Quidditch. Holyhead Harpies were her team and, in their household, supporting any other was simply not an option. ¤◢

◤¤ His father, meanwhile, had begun to hum the chant from wherever he was in the house, most likely the kitchen. It took only a few seconds for his younger brother to join in from the top floor with the lyrics, a brave move considering he was most likely to be thrown over her shoulder as punishment, still being a small 10 year old. The Potioneer simply had no choice but to join in, bellowing the lyrics until the entire house was filled with the chant. Their mother didn’t know who to hunt down first, he heard a small “Sonorus” above their din, before her amplified voice overtook all three of theirs with an impassioned, “All of you. Tomorrow. De-gnoming. AND family Quidditch match.” That shut them all up. Groans echoed around the house, but none were brave enough to speak up and face her wrath. ¤◢

◤¤ The groans weren’t protests against the family Quidditch match, especially not from Alasdair, his younger brother, who had aspirations of playing for his Hogwarts house team, whichever house that may be. They mainly groaned because of the de-gnoming they would suffer through beforehand, in the freezing cold January weather. The Potioneer didn’t doubt that he and his father, who always played together, would be beaten once again and that they would have to suffer through an infamous Family Punishment for it. He didn’t particularly care for Quidditch so the loss wouldn’t bother him, only the punishment. Although he ordinarily preferred to spend his time making, creating and perfecting potions, or studying, he attended the Quidditch league matches every time the Harpies played, in order to spend quality time with his mother and brother, time he treasured. ¤◢

◤¤ The Potioneer understood that having a family, especially a family like his was a privilege: his parents loved each other and their two sons, they were caring and honest with one another and they didn’t have to worry about money, thanks to their parents’ hard work.

It wasn’t all daisies and dandelions though, his childhood hadn’t been without its difficulties, and some of those could be brought to mind with the mere murmur of the name Kalani. ¤◢

Kalani Bonaventure

⟿”the heaven’s good fortune”⬳

✥ “But Mummy, why can’t I help her?” the small 9 year old asked, the frown on his face breaking the innocence there. His mother had sighed and spoken very carefully, “Little Ami, the doctors are trying to help Kalani right now. Your potions can’t fix this pain.” She broke the news in a quiet voice, with her husband’s hand on her shoulder for support. The little boy looked heartbroken; he couldn’t help his best friend, not even the best of his talent could cure her. He visited her every day she was in hospital, bringing her sweets from Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes and chatting to her endlessly to try and raise her spirits, even when all she could do was listen. In the end, neither his efforts nor the doctors could help her, and ‘heaven’s good fortune’ travelled to her namesake. ✥

◤¤ Ever since that day, May 17th 2013, the Potioneer had struggled with the feeling of helplessness and sought to avoid at all costs. He doesn’t know what his future plans are or what he wants to do in life, all he knows is that he has a yearning, a need, to do something great. To make a difference somehow. ¤◢

‘It’s Easter eggs from Mum,’ said Ginny. ‘There’s one for you… there you go.’

She handed him a handsome chocolate egg decorated with small, iced Snitches, and accorrding to the packaging, containing a bag of Fizzing Whizzbees. Harry looked at it for a moment, then, to his horror, gelt a lump rise in his throat.

‘Are you OK, Harry?’ Ginny asked quietly.

‘Yeah, I’m fine,’ said Harry gruffly. The lump in his throat was painful. He did not understand why an Easter egg should have made him feel like this.

I love this moment because it’s this cute moment between Harry and Ginny way back in the middle of fifth year. She can see right through him, and he feels so comfortable with her, it’s amazing. btw I worked on this all weekend, and then realized Easter Sunday is tomorrow so it turned out super relevant. I’m Jewish, but I guess happy Easter to you all!

"There are all kinds of courage...It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends." Dumbledore himself, when Neville won Gryffindor the House Cup

Neville was definitely correctly sorted.

He is courageous and brave, even if he is not as daring and foolhardy as many other Gryffindors are.

I animated a bit from the Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban audio book, narrated by Stephen fry. Just for fun, don’t know if I’ll do any more of these.

uhhh so I just wanted to drop a quick neville headcanon right here

•neville spent a lot of time in the hufflepuff common room, making friends there more easily than in gryffindor, which he believed he had been wrongly sorted into

•it's why he could never remember the gryffindor password - he knew the hufflepuff's without a doubt, sometimes even telling others who had forgotten it

•a lot of his friends shared his interest in herbology but he still preferred to do it alone, keeping a distinct gap between his social time and personal time

•he didn't truly believe he had been correctly sorted until he took over dumbledore's army although he had his moments of belonging "I'm worth twelve of you, malfoy" being one of his first courageous moments of many

pls let me know what you think, and any additions and/or suggestions! :)

Best Harry Potter Quotes

Okay, well now you have to do Sirius and touching people.

sirius is starved for people to touch him, he’s like a fucking dying man

at first when he shows up at hogwarts he’s standoffish and kind of a prick because he doesn’t really understand that his parents aren’t concrete example of the wizarding world

that when people touch you it doesn’t have to hurt

so he snaps at people when they get too close to him and he tenses every time somebody puts a hand on his shoulder

and eventually james just hauls him off to his parents and is like FIX THIS POOR LAD

and they dote on him of course they dote on him but sirius is so confused when they both give him hugs (mr prongs gives him very gruff, back-slappy, manly hugs, mrs prongs hugs like she’s afraid sirius will melt if she lets go)

and eventually they just wear him down and sirius black, scourge of gryffindor, turns into a cuddler

he’ll throw himself into james’ lap after a quidditch match (YOU’VE QUITE SEDUCED ME WITH YOUR MANLY PROWESS, POTTER, NOW YOU MUST ASK FOR MY HAND), he wrestles good naturedly with peter, he’ll run his fingers through remus’ hair when he feels prickly and irate and sometimes it’s the only thing that can calm remus down

when sirius black puts an arm around your shoulders it makes you feel triumphant, when he knocks your elbow and grins, you feel like nothing can hurt you

One night when they lay in hiding outside a know Death Eater’s house, after a year of increasingly warm friendship, Tonks made an idle remark about one of her fellow Order members (‘He’s still handsome, isn’t he, even after Azkaban?’). Before he could stop himself, Remus had replied bitterly that he supposed she had fallen for his old friend (‘He always got the women.’). At this, Tonks became suddenly angry. ‘You’d know perfectly well who I’ve fallen for, if you weren’t too busy feeling sorry for yourself to notice.’
