Why is Paula in contact with Merula but hasn’t turned her in in the future?

Paula owns her a lot, and she's also her friend.

She'd never betray a friend.

Merula becomes a Death Eater when Voldemort returns due to her family's influence with him. Yes, her parents were good to her and she has fond memories with them, but they were still dark wizards who actively supported the Dark Lord.

She really can't handle the pressure. But what could she do? Her parents weren't like her aunt, not in the slightest... she could never refuse them.

And Paula is aware of it. She knows family can be such a burner in your life and you can't run away from it, even if you want to. So, whenever they can, Paula lends Merula a shoulder to cry on.

...It's the least thing she can do.

so, i've kinda made Merula's parents two of the ten death eaters who escaped from azkaban in the mass breakout in 1996, to add more drama to it all shdsahd

it seems like there's only seven confirmed death eaters so i could fit her parents right there to spice things up hee hee

Where the problems started.

[snowcoveredpines]

Thinking about Ariana Dumbledore knitting as a way to try and keep calm. She tells Albus she’ll make him a pair of beautiful socks for his birthday and he smiles and nods dismissively. She spends weeks on intricate colorwork, putting all her love into them and dies right before finishing. Albus sees her living to give him the socks in the mirror of Erised and him Actually appreciating them. He keeps the unfinished pair in the drawer beside his bedside (She’s already made Aberforth a pair that he’d worn until even patching spells couldn’t keep them together)

maybe i'm just drunk but. the harry potter universe is really just a tragedy of brothers in different generations of the wizardibg world. starting all the way in the beginning with the story of the deathly hallows. to the founding of hogwarts. to dumbledore and aberforth. to sirius and regulus. to the weasley brothers. to james and albus. just over and over the tragedy of brothers

10 yo Albus looking at his father, who using crucio on three boys (Percival&muggles)

18 yo Albus looking at his beloved, who using crucio on his brother (Gellert&Aberforth)

115 yo Albus looking at his student, who using crucio on his another student (Harry&Bellatrix)

ahh flashbacks

[witchy-detective]

Have you ever thought about how bewildering the Dumbledores would have been to Gellert as a unit?

Murderous father, strict, secretive mother both dead but their presence is never quite gone from the home. With all three siblings having the same piercing, keen, blue eyes, and a mistrust of others.

Arianna, with her kind, doll like face and fair hair, contrasting with the deep auburn of her brothers. Her obscurus, forever coiled inside her like a snake, forever looking through you, eyes haunted by the memory of her attack.

Aberforth, perpetually angry and grieving. With all of his father's intimidating stature and brawn and an uncanny judge of character.

And of course Albus, Secrets, shame, and sarrow locked away forevermore, yet begging to be understood and so eager to please. With too much magic coursing through his veins, screaming to be free. With all the wild beauty of an ancient celtic prince.

not to be controversial on main but aberforth displayed more genuine concern for harry's wellbeing during a 15 minute interaction than dumbledore did in 15 years and that's the tea

*Dumbledore siblings playing truth and dare, the bottle spins towards albus *

Aberfoth - Ok choose one, truth or dare?

Albus- Truth

Aberforth - confess a secret

Albus - Um I have a crush on Gellert

Ariana - Albus, he said a secret
