I Put Off On Making This For So Long

Terfs fuck off

[hptrash-lookaway]

Been out of the hp fandom for awhile for obvious reasons (mainly being genderfluid and it taints the whole thing for me knowing the woman behind hp would despise me just for existing), but lately I accidentally fell back into the hyperfixation hole and it’s been so difficult to leave it, so I’m hoping if I just post my thoughts somewhere, then I can move on

So since I’m breaking down and making this blog, I’m fully committing to it being every hp thought that won’t leave me alone, which may include thoughts on the taboo ships like Sirry (Harry/Sirius) as some of those ships I really liked as a small kid and I know I still have some thoughts on them I never got to release, so might as well do it now

[hptrash-lookaway]

Favorite Sirry scenario that I haven’t seen anywhere yet is a time travel one where Harry decides to hang out with his mom (because honestly he’s heard a lot about his dad, but not really about his mom, and he’d like to know more about her)

But hanging around her means hanging around Snape too

Which means that now, Sirius hates Snape even more, cause he’d already quickly gained a crush on this new mysterious transfer student

And it’s just Sirius and James glaring over at their little trio and talking about Snape as if he’s some evil casanova stealing away all the cute gryffindors, while Snape is just. like. sitting there.

@1maele1 (tumblr isn’t showing me the option to click your blog so I hope this still reaches your notifications) I would really appreciate that!!!

Does anyone else ever think about how even tho Tom Riddle didn’t mean to kill Myrtle, her death still counted for shattering his soul, which means that even if Voldemort’s first death didn’t count against Harry and was counted as Lily’s kill, he’d still be on the hook for Quirrel’s death/Voldemort’s second death in his first year by that logic?

Idk I’m just always thinking about Harry worrying about the state of his soul and worried about being secretly unforgivably evil because of two events no one would really consider his fault, but apparently intent doesn’t matter

[hptrash-lookaway]

Considering that Harry had to like. do most of the shit to upkeep the Dursely household and he had to mature at a faster rate because while Dudley could do whatever tf he wanted, Harry had to be extremely careful of how he acted to avoid punishment (which he still couldn’t avoid because they wanted to punish), and then got to hogwarts to have to deal with all that fuckery, and having to be everyone’s savior, I gotta be honest, I don’t like fics where Harry raises Teddy and/or has kids super young, just kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth, he should be getting a chance where there’s no one depending on him

[hptrash-lookaway]

I know the gray of the tags and when there’s a lot of them makes the tags hard to read, so I’m just gonna include a screenshot focused on them so y’all can see them so no one’s trying to respond to things that aren’t actually being said

So going forward, everyone can see and understand that I’m not genuinely advocating for Harry to be a club goer, I’m just saying he should get to live his life a little

Surprised I haven’t really seen any fics of people using Harry to catfish others, making it difficult for him

Like even if it’s not an au where hogwarts students get phones, I could picture people sending “anonymous” letters to their crushes, but rather than actually being truly anonymous, they pretend they’re Harry Potter sending the messages, because they’re hoping his name will open the door, but after a bit of communication they’ll fall in love with the letter writer, and won’t be upset when they reveal their actual identity (never actually happens that way, nobody likes being catfished)

Which makes it so Harry can only ever send notes in person or through his well known owl, also there’s situations of poor people throwing themselves at him because they think they’re dating and he has no idea wtf they’re talking about

I like to imagine that after Hermione masters taking care of her curly hair, she goes after Harry to help him with his hair because she won’t accept “Potter hair is magically untamable” but it is. There is nothing she can do, it will always be a bird’s nest

Despite her frustration, it’s still a fun bonding experience for the both of them

[hptrash-lookaway]

I don’t know if I’m just accidentally filtering them out because I’m picky and take advantage of ao3’s filtering system (but I also felt like I didn’t really see this type of fic on fanfiction.net back in the day?) or if this type of fic weirdly isn’t popular

But I’m surprised I haven’t really come across a plethora of fics, magical or non-magical, where Sirius as an auror/detective trying to avenge James and Lily, raises Harry to be a mini-detective, and it’s like a huge part of the plot or the set up to it

Usually I see fics where it’s either background stuff of Sirius being an auror/detective searching for Voldemort or Peter and he doesn’t have custody of Harry, or it’s background he has custody but he’s neglectful and it’s his neglect that sets everything up

Where what I’m really craving is what my brain vaguely thinks of as “teenage girl detective stories” where Sirius is a somewhat to very present guardian to Harry/Harriet, if a bit too protective, who teaches him everything about being an auror/detective, and then maybe something happens to Sirius in his solo investigation on what happened to James and Lily where Harry has to go find him, or Harry just uses those skills for various mysteries in a Nancy Drew kinda way

[hptrash-lookaway]

Thinking about Sirius raising Harry/Harriet but rn specifically I’m thinking about Kreacher’s role in it, and I’m just picturing Kreacher convincing tiny little Harry to play “prince(ss) training” and it’s actually just heir(ess) training that Kreacher knows Sirius doesn’t want Harry to worry about, and it takes Harry awhile to connect those dots

[hptrash-lookaway]

For familial “Sirius raises Harry, possibly after only staying a year in Azkaban before getting a trial so there’s still some trauma for Harry and added angst for Sirius”, I need Harry to be given the mirror way earlier than in canon, and like a toddler with phone access, he’ll call up Sirius every chance he can to babble at him and Sirius answers the mirror each time so siriusly seriously

I genuinely love harmione, but in a sapphic, Hermione as a top struggling with heteronormativity, Harry as a short bottom getting flustered when Hermione hugs her for 2 different reasons, Hermione getting jealous when other people hug Harry and not knowing why, Harry knowing she has a crush on Hermione but thinks she doesn’t have a chance because Hermione’s “straight” and everyone always talks about how they’re convinced Hermione and Ron are going to get together, kind of way

Which doesn’t really exist outside my head, so I don’t really read Harmione fics

[hptrash-lookaway]

I always like to think that Dumbledore is aware of Harry having a crush on Hermione and is there number one shipper, meanwhile everyone else keeps falling victim to heteronormativity and keep trying to push Hermione and Ron together (which in this type of au, they don’t have any feelings for each other)

Including Sirius, who sees Hermione getting mad at Ron and reminiscing and comparing them to Lily and James, not knowing he’s destroying his goddaughter with his “observations”

给我女朋友的情人节礼物

I don’t really watch hazbin hotel but that whole vox being obsessed with Alastor thing is exactly what I want from Drarry fics, I want Draco to still be upset at having his handshake/offer of friendship being rejected, and just absolutely ready and willing to take Harry up on it if Harry ever does offer his hand out to him, I want Draco paaaatheeeetiiic for Harry

But I don’t want Harry to be mean about it or for Draco’s crush to be one sided, I want Harry to be completely unaware of it, and there comes a day where he needs Draco’s help with something, and is all worried about how he’s gonna get him to agree, but he just says something like “I need help/you” and Draco runs over to him, pushing people out of his way if he needs to

[hptrash-lookaway]

There’s a snarry fic I’m trying to find again, it was a oneshot where Harry’s a professor at Hogwarts now and he goes to a quidditch game with the other professors cause it’s like a yearly tradition for the staff I think, and McGonagall and Snape are cheering for opposite teams and McGonagall changes Snape’s robes to the colors of her team, and Harry changes it back before Snape notices, and McGonagall gets annoyed and is like “I didn’t know you rooted for [Snape’s team]” and Snape overhears and is like “obviously he’s rooting for the right team” and then him and Harry makeout in a tent afterwards

Anyone know which fic this is?

I don’t really have a coherent thought about this, but in MOD!Harry fics where him being MOD is what helps him defeat Voldemort, I love Lily being the reason Harry didn’t die as a baby and her protection keeping him safe (as much as was possible) through most of his childhood and then the invisibility cloak Harry inherited from his dad being part of what continues to keep him alive as an adult

[hptrash-lookaway]

Maybe I have read a fic like this and just don’t remember, but either way if this doesn’t exist or it does exist and there’s only one, I feel like this is a concept that should’ve been used in at least several fics:

During the triwizard tournament, at least one person from the French branch of the Malfoy family is there and is seen by a lot of the Hogwarts students as the “better” version of Draco Malfoy and causes self esteem issues in Draco, especially when it comes to the French Malfoy hitting on Harry

Meanwhile, the whole time Harry doesn’t even like the French Malfoy and realizes that not only does he prefer regular Malfoy, but he also might like Draco in general
