A bit of an update since I haven’t been around really. My muse for Harry is practically nonexistent at this point. I think the amount of threads I amassed and the stress associated with it had a lot to do with it. It just stopped being fun for me, but I’m not going to do anything with this blog as of now. It’ll be on hiatus, and hopefully I can return soon when I have more time to reread the rest of the books and devote time to this muse.

Lavender wasn’t quite sure how she should feel at the moment. Should she be insulted that he thought her friends were so mean as to laugh at him for asking for help? Or flattered that he’d sought her out because he thought she was nicer than the rest of them? Girls could be mean when they were in packs, always trying to impress the others and make sure they didn’t look stupid. Sometimes being a teenage girl was more effort than it was worth in the end.

“Well, I’m glad that you didn’t think I would laugh at you. That  actually means a lot to me – I think most people think that I’m  just stupid and vapid and… well, useless, so if you ever need  my help with anything, you’ll always have it. Now… what were  you planning on wearing on this date, when she says yes? We  should look through your wardrobe.”

There was no offense meant in his comment. Girls, strangely enough, were intimidating to him in certain groups. Granted, it came more from lack of experience with romantic pursuits and speaking to those outside his close knit friends. But now, Lavender could be considered one of those as well. He frowned at the word useless and started to open his mouth to argue otherwise when she went on.  “What am I wearing?” There was a pause, and a slack expression dawned his features, slowly with a kind of dawning horror. He didn’t have a lot of nice clothing or at least nothing he thought would be impressive looking. “I hadn’t really thought about it.”

It was easy for him to talk—he was a natural. He, on the other hand, always struggled in Defence Against the Dark Arts. His reflexes were bad, and it took him ages to decide the best spell for the situation. He was trying to take his NEWT in this subject only to make his parents proud, and managed to get there only thanks to his hard work. Yet, he still had some gaps to fill.

    ❛ —Why are you so hard on me? I’m       not as good as my parents! ❜

As he grasped tightly his wand and stood up, the boggart started to change his form. Sure enough, there suddenly was Ron, Hermione and Rose looking down at him, telling him they were so disappointed in his performance, that no matter how hard he tried, it would not be enough. Not only he could never hit that, but it was something he didn’t want anyone to know, let alone his uncle.

    ❛ … Make it stop. Please!❜

He stepped between Hugo and the boggart, hoping to confuse it. But it only quivered like mirage, uncertain of what shape to take, before finally morphing into the tall, pale skinned, red eyed visage of Lord Voldemort.   Harry shouted the incantation, sending it barreling back into the cupboard it’d inhabited before, the door slamming shut loudly. Heart hammering harder in his chest than it should, he conjured a chair reminiscent of the squashy armchairs in the Gryffindor common room.  “Sit down...” His voice lacked the harsh edge of an order. It was merely a suggestion. This hadn’t gone at all well. He was reminded of the night he saw Molly try to dispatch the boggart, how she had viewed all of her family dead and Harry as well in turn.  “I’m sorry.” A soft sigh slipped out. “I never meant for this to happen.”

You wear strength so well, I forget that you have to take it off at the end of the day; still feeling the marks that it leaves on your soul.

okay so excuse the crappy banner, i’m still a little bit under the weather and i just really wanted to get this out c:

so first off, i would love to thank everyone who’s followed me! i’ve been here since april and honestly i didn’t expect to get this many followers ever. i was awkward and i probably had no grasp on my muse– i still don’t omg but you’re all here regardless! so thank you, i can’t even begin to express how much this means to me. <3 i’ve made a lot of friends on here, and that means a lot to me, a lot more than being complimented on what i do here. ( don’t get me wrong, that’s still awesome ! )  without further ado, here’s my list.

wixardings : they’re characterisation is so unique comparedto the way a lot of people portray harry. like, they’re so onpoint with characterisation, but there’s this additional littlequirk that really makes their harry theirs. i love this blog somuch and i love the mun too.

demagiia : you know those blogs that are super quality andyou admire them for ages before following them and thenthey follow you back and you die a little inside? that’s whathappened here. this blog is one to admire. their writing isso beautiful and ugh.

onewholived : this blog, okay. for real their character is so????????? are u harry potter behind this screen ???????like…they play him so well to the point it’s kind of scary. thisblog is the eighth wonder of the world because i wonder howthey understand such a complex character so well that i oftenmistake them for the actual harry potter.

stagsroar : they haven’t been online in a little while but like…highkey stalk their blog because although they’re super newto playing harry ( i think ??? ) they’re actually super amazingat it. like, it takes me a while to worm my way into a characterbut from the get go this blog was fabulous. just looking at their theme and oh shit already too quality for me.

wholesoulandcompletelymyown : mAN THIS BLOG HAS BEENAROUND SO LONG!!! considering in this fandom a lot of blogscrop up and then disappear, this blog has been a constant inmy entire harry potter roleplaying career. i literally love seeingthem post because it’s always so ??????? everytime they posta meta, too, it’s just ‘yES I AGREE OMG’ and i fangirl over themso much okay.

I’ve been fairly inactive this week due to personal life things and well, it’s a busy time of year with October approaching. So, my activity here is going to be fairly limited for the next week or so.

              When he tells her ‘ no ‘ ;; her head cants to the side, however the pause was not long – && immediately she understood his worry.   ‘ Here – ‘  she spoke, fingers squeezing his shoulder for a moment before releasing him gently.    ‘ Come downstairs with me. I’ll make you some tea – something that will keep you up.‘ With that, the witch’s cane clacked to the left, finding the dip in the floor before beginning her descent.

     Relief washed over him. The last thing he had wanted at this moment was to be ushered back to bed or asked prying questions about what he’d seen. Arms folded tightly across his chest, he set to follow her. A tremor continued to run through him. He could still hear his mother’s scream. The words came tumbling out, a bit breathless in the rush, “Thank you.”

The headmistress nodded and sighed. “ Please do. St Mungo is not a very entertaining place to be in after a war. ”

“’Suppose not. Being stuck in bed anyway.” He settled into this seat with a bit of a wince. “How are you feeling?”

HE took a deep breath, running his hand over the spine of the book once more. It was now or never.

          ❝ Was my father really transfigured              into a Ferret or is that just a rumor? ❞

Call him blindsided. A snort escaped him before he could could rein it in, and he had to try, with difficultly to school his features into something a little more neutral. Harry hadn’t thought of the incident in years actually but could never forget the bouncing white ferret.  “Er---that did happen. In our fourth year.”

“I guess so. And yeah, but I first transfigured it from an old hat, but Professor McGonagall helped me. And then Flitwick for the charm. Only a little, though!”

“---still brilliant. Anyway, I’m getting us off topic. Let me see if I can find that book and we’ll work on the incantation together.”

While I’m not proud of my activity over here being so slim, I’m so overwhelmed by the number of you who have actually stuck around with my Oliver who I have yet to flesh out among most things. Joining new fandoms are never easy, especially one with such a grand reception. One of the first and many things I felt making this blog was fear. Fear of being neglected, fear of not being worthy but once again the amount of support has SHOWN me that the Harry Potter community definitely proved me wrong. There’s so much talent here and above all so many friendly faces that have made me thrilled; for the longest time I wanted to join and something always held me back but no more – I don’t regret making Oliver and I’m just so happy to see people are enjoying my portrayal.

HELLO FRIENDS! Right, so this is my 400+ Bias List. And, I probably did forget people. And I’m sorry for that. But, I really do appreciate all of you, because some of you are mad quality, and I just haven’t gotten the courage to approach you yet. But, thank you for acknowledging my presence, and I hope we can talk more! HERE IS MY SKYPE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ME UP ON THAT.

Let’s begin! 

THE SEEDS: with every flower, it starts with a seed. 

hxgoweasley: Taea, I’ve said this time and time again, but you’re the reason this is such a big part of my life. I don’t know whether to thank you or kill you for your crime. It’s only been 4 months but, I’ve changed a lot from what I used to be. I was so incredibly annoying, I’m trying to figure out why you stayed with me. But you’ve helped me develop my character, my writing, and my personality. You gave me a chance, and I’m very thankful for that. You’re my metaphorical seed, Taea. 

mismanagedmxsfits: You were the first person to make me feel welcome and comfortable and like I could talk about ANYTHING, and I’m very thankful. Even if I don’t show it, with my constant complaining and ruining your life drabbles. You were so nice, and you made posts that made me feel like I had FRIENDS, and I’m forever thankful for that. Because, roleplaying can be a lonely thing, but you made sure that it wasn’t lonely for me. And… I hope it’s never lonely for you either. 

THE ROOTS: and then from there, it begins to thrive.

thexrealmtravelers, likeputtingwingsonlead, sebastianxfoster: You three helped me so much. Before the roadtrip verse, I was pretty much stuck in the same group and habits. I could’ve easily gotten bored and left as soon as possible. But you guys gave me something new, something indescribable and it was perfectly amazing to keep me up and going. Also, your OCs are amazing, and so is your music taste love you bye. 

auburnie, rosewevsley, colxssvs, flosfilia, lilypadpotter: ERKDFJXKJSFD Okay. It’s nice and so comforting to know that I’m not the only person on here that’s under 16 years of age (16-) and It’s amazing to see how much you guys have helped me with simple things to more difficult things, because… people… underestimate us all the time. Yet, you guys are the smartest people I know. I’ll stay with you guys sin after sin, and blog after blog. I hope you stay too. 

spankinggoodkeeper, -askthebrokenbird-, elliexwilliamsx iwillalwaysdomybest, notthehighkingedmund, hissingaspinthegrass proudtobeteddylupin: I just.. ran out of categories. But basically, this is the group that welcomed me with open arms no matter what it is. And I know I don’t talk to two of you but for the other three, thank you for being there all the time. I just… yeah. Thanks for sticking with me for so long. It’s been a long time. And… I wouldn’t stick with me that long. So thank you. I love you. 

THE STEMS: it keeps stretching, taller and taller.

That’s pretty much it. I probably definitely missed people. People that I care about. But give me credit. This was off the top of my head. Just thank you all so much. I’m honestly very grateful. Even if I don’t say it all the time. I love you all and with that, goodbye.

                Cordelia’s head tilted in tired confusion ;; hand reaching out to instinctively grip the boy’s clothed shoulder.   ‘ Why is that hmm ?? ‘ she asked, the maternal side of her shining through that wall she’d built. ‘ Is everything alright ?? ‘

     Bleary eyes dart up to her face and then away, unable to look directly at her. His chest felt tight, and he was incredibly shaken by what he’d seen. And the thought he’d see the same thing behind his eyelids if he went back to bed wouldn’t leave him alone. “No. It’s---” It’d be better to tell the truth, wouldn’t it?  “I keep dreaming about the night my parents died.”
