The secret history of Argus Filch?

All Potterheads know that Argus Filch, Caretaker at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, cannot use magic. Most, including Filch himself, say that this is because he is a Squib (CoS). However, what if this is true only in the sense that Filch is a wizard-born who cannot use magic? In HBP Dumbledore tells us that “…it is also possible that [Merope’s] unrequited love and the attendant despair sapped her of her powers; that can happen.” What if Finch lost the ability to perform magic because his heart was broken? What would cause such a heartbreak?

Let us consider, for a moment, Filch’s cat, Mrs. Norris. She is definitely a highly intelligent cat, though definitely not a Kneazle as she is never described as such or as having any other Kneazle-like qualities. She is his constant companion and sometimes seems to help him in his duties of patrolling the halls and watching for students where they don’t belong. The only other non-Kneazle cat that shows anything like this level of intelligence is Minerva McGonagall, an animagus. So what if Mrs. Norris is a failed animagus? What if before she became stuck as a cat she and Filch were in love?

Here’s how I think it happened: Mrs. Norris, a gifted witch who studied transfiguration, was widdowed during Grindlewald’s reign of terror. Years later she meets a wizard named Argus Filch through their mutual friend, Albus Dumbledore and they fall in love. However, before they could exchange vows she attempts to become an animagus and fails, becoming stuck in cat form. While she is not dead per se, she can no longer show love in any human ways. This breaks Argus’ heart, severing his connection to magic. However, he vows to take care of her as best he can for the rest of their lives while also keeping in touch with the wizarding world in hopes of a cure.

But what about Filch’s admission to being a Squib in CoS? Despite the pureblood mania and the anti-Squib bigotry in the wizarding world, being considered a Squib was easier than having to tell everyone that he lost his magic and he was in love with his cat.

Why did no one else know? Aside from Grindlewald himself, Bathilda Bagshot, and Aberforth Dumbledore we don’t meet anyone that admits to knowing Albus Dumbledore during Grindelwald’s rise to power or reign of terror. Even Rita Skeeter had to look very hard to find anyone who did. Also, as we saw with Arabella Figg, Squibs are not watched by the ministry (OotP), so no one would look up anyone who admitted to being a Squib in the ministry records.

i’ve been trying to explain this sketch to people for years

real-faker

there is literally no way to explain this sketch it’s just a thing you have to see and even then I’m not sure why it’s so funny

captoring

yo there is a way to explain it… it was a parody of an episode of the OC (i think it was the last one ever or maybe just a series finale) in which a character shot another just like that and the song played. and it was super out of the blue and over the top. so there u go

An end to plastic packaging poisoning us and all the life that feeds off the ocean is very very possible.

worclip: This Too Shall Pass (2012) by Tomorrow Machine

Independent packaging project for perishable goods:

Is it reasonable that it takes several years for a milk carton to decompose naturally, when the milk goes sour after a week? This Too Shall Pass is a series of food packaging were the packaging has the same short life-span as the foods they contain. The package and its content is working in symbiosis.

Smoothie package Gel of the agar agar seaweed and water are the only components used to make this package. To open it you pick the top. The package will wither at the same speed as its content. It is made for drinks that have a short life span and needs to be refrigerated, fresh juice, smoothies and cream for example. Rice Package Package made of biodegradable beeswax. To open it you peel it like a fruit. The package is designed to contain dry goods, for example grains and rice. Oil package A package made of caramelized sugar, coated with wax. To open it you crack it like an egg. When the material is cracked the wax do no longer protect the sugar and the package melts when it comes in contact with water. This package is made for oil-based food.
