So daemon/HDM AUs are fun, right? We all enjoy those
I thought it'd be fun to consider how Horcruxes would work in a daemon AU :) for funsies :)
The creation of Horcruxes isn't just considered incredibly dark because it requires murdering someone; that is seen as a secondary issue to the far darker act of splitting your own soul. It's made clear that this has direct effects on the person, afterwards; someone with a Horcrux has less capacity for morality, positive emotion, empathy, etc.
So have this mental image, my gift to you:
Fifteen year old Tom Riddle is making his first Horcrux, the Diary. He kills Myrtle, picks up his enchanted knife… and turns to his daemon.
And cuts her in half.
person: What do you think was the greatest moment in sports history?
me:
me: um
me:
me: Ireland won but Krum caught the snitch
Me prior to book 5: but why would voldemort have even wanted to recruit james?
Me after reading the 'snape's worst memory' chapter: oh ok. that tracks.
Voldemort was probably out there like 'ok but are you sure you don't want to be a death eater? because I genuinely think that you would enjoy it. your idea of a good time and bellatrix's are so close. you'd fit the vibe of the group so well. this isn't even about me. this is for you at this point.'
Marauders, the fandom favourite kids vs. Marauders, the most feared death eater sub-group
James Potter, the perfect auror, the perfect spy for the Dark lord. He killed a healer once when they found the Dark mark.
Sirius 'I'm not my family' Black, protector of Regulus, the one always coming home covered in blood. He kills as Padfoot nearly as often as with a wand simply for enjoyment.
Peter Pettigrew, the unassuming spy master. Attaining high of bureaucratic position in the ministry. They never find he's the leak.
Remus Lupin, wolf rights activist. Resistance is an option, not that you'd live long enough to do much damage. He'll get more were students into Hogwarts no matter how many would have to die for it.
oh my god I’m obsessed with this. I demand 100 fics set in this au immediately
i love how hermione has such a rule following aura that everyone ignores that she is the real rule breaker of the trio. harry sneaks out at night sometimes. hermione straight up kidnapped a whole woman and held her prisoner in an enchanted jar. even tom riddle didn't do that.
Albus Dumbledore: By the age of 11 Tom Riddle had stolen some things from other children in the brutal orphanage where he was despised, feared and accused of madness. He also did something sketchy in a cave though we're not sure of the details. Clearly already he was beyond saving and utterly-
Harry: Oh that's nothing. When Hermione was 11 she set a teacher on fire.
Like, Hermione isn't a rule follower, but she has much more respect for authority than Harry and Ron. Specifically academic authority. Like, throughout the books, Hermione is the one with the most respect for professors and the position of professor. She is the one who always says that if Dumbledore said something, then it must be true.
It's not really about following rules, but authority that she respects. When Hermione respects someone's authority, like Dumbledore, she'd follow them and their rules to the latter. When she doesn't, she'll allow Umbridge to be dragged away by the centaurs.
I think this aura of rule-following she has is the result of Harry and Ron just not really caring about who made the rule, they just care what the rule is. If it doesn't suit them, they won't follow it. I think Hermione decides whether a rule is worth it depending on who made it and if she respects that person.
Yeah. She has a very particular, curated set of authority figures and a specific, vivid opinion of how things are supposed to be, and if she needs to do something she'll logic her way into justifying it by crediting or dismissing the relevant authority.
Sometimes this works weirdly, such as when her personal dislike of Harry's use of the Prince's book induced her to argue that the Prince's invented spells probably weren't Ministry-of-Magic-approved---the same Ministry of Magic that had spent the last year suppressing Hogwarts' educational purposes, leading Hermione to start a secret illegal club to learn the magics that the Ministry disapproved of them performing.

@emilociraptor it’s not drarry but this sure seems like something you’d like
harry james potter is bisexual and jkr was unaware
“said harry just as bisexually as before”
ron: maybe the real horcruxes were the friends we made along the way
harry: why must you call me out like this
i couldn’t decide on which one i liked better so i’m posting both lol
Harry, I think it’s Christmas Eve! Listen...
If the wizard you’re fighting is using two-to-three syllable pseudo-Latin magic words, that is a wizard you can absolutely punch in the face.
If the wizard you’re fighting starts reciting a rhyming couplet, you need to get out of there yesterday. You need to change your identity and hide your soul in a pin in a rabbit in a chest on an island that only appears once every three months and even then only to a third son, because any spell that rhymes will curse you, your dog, your descendants, and will somehow work its way backwards through time to curse your ancestors.

Me? Books and cleverness. There are more important things: friendship and bravery.
Emma Watson as Hermione Granger HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE (2001)
i’ve put on the first harry potter movie to keep me company while i draw, and can i just say: the way that harry+co immediately jump to suspecting snape of Nefarious Evildoings simply because he’s kind of a dick will never not be funny to me. they don’t even know he used to be a death eater at this point. they know literally NOTHING about him they’re just like “well he was mean to me in class the other day, so he’s probably a spy for voldemort” “yeah that seems legit. let’s set him on fire”
Harry+co: the vibes on this man… disgusting…
Hermione: Vibe check *sets him on fire*
Just a punk, genderqueer (transfemme) Remus, out and proud. They/she/it!

We all like to joke about how nobody who was at Hogwarts with Harry Potter would be able to learn anything because of all the monsters and dark wizards and shit attacking from all sides, but like, when you think about it… your average Hogwarts student never actually sees that.
I mean, until the battle at the end of Book 7, the climactic points of Harry's adventures have tended to happen either in areas of the school where students aren't supposed to have access or outside of Hogwarts altogether. And in general the only students directly involved were Harry and his little clique.
So like, for the average Hogwarts student, it's more like… you still get a basically normal school experience (albeit with the odd spate of petrifications or megalomaniac Defence teacher to worry about), but also there are these three kids in your class who are just super weird.
Like, one of them is kind of famous, and you'd assume he'd be popular because of that, but he pretty much exclusively hangs out with the class braniac and that one kid with all the brothers, and doesn't really have any other friends. The three of them are practically joined at the hip, and spend most of their time sitting together having whispered conversations that stop the moment anyone else passes by, and then resume only after they've walked out of earshot. You're pretty sure you overheard the word "death-eater" once or twice.
Then during the end of term assembly, when the headmaster is covering all the last notices like who won the Quidditch Cup, and how the frog choir got on at regionals, he suddenly stands up and says "and let's have a big round of applause for Harry, Ron and Hermione, from the First Year, who last week defeated the reanimated soul of wizard-Hitler after he possessed a staff member!"
And you're all just sort of clapping along like whatthefuckwhatthefuckwhatthefuck and then they win the House Cup and you all go home, and literally nobody ever mentions this incident, or the apparent return of wizard-Hitler, or the fact that he can possess people now, ever again.
And then next year it starts all over.

day 3: favorite friendship
Harry doesn’t hear from Ron all summer: My friends hate me. I have no friends. I am alone in this world.
Ron doesn’t hear from Harry all summer: Welp, guess I better steal a car and go find out what the fuck’s going on.
