i still really hate how there are two discrete harry potter characters whose literal names define them by their body weight (the fat friar and the fat lady) while the most fleshed out fat characters we get (the dursleys) have their body weight used to characterise them as evil and greedy, with dudley losing weight as he gets more sympathetic

Ghosts

@allvalley100 I know it’s late by about 20 minutes, but I was working today.

An excerpt from an upcoming chapter of my fic, You’re a Wizard, Jimmy.

***

As Jimmy and the other incoming first years waited for Professor McGonagall to return, they looked around the Chamber of Reception. The cacophonous chatter of the rest of the school came from their right, in the Great Hall.

To his left, Jimmy spotted a group of at least twenty people walking toward them, conversing amongst themselves. No, not walking. More like floating? As the group came closer, Jimmy noticed that they all were silvery and translucent. Are those… ghosts?

He nudged Bobby. “Are ghosts real?”

A fat ghost smiled. “Of course, we are, dear boy. But we were once wizards.”

I know this is a ridiculous idea but would love to see hogwarts ghosts interacting with stands in your JJBA AU

Myrtle encountering Atabey (Reina’s Stand) for the first time.

Nick being amazed by Fulgora (Ben’s Stand in the split AU where he gained it during his 3rd year instead).

Rowan’s Stand Ganesha having a friendly conversation with the Fat Friar.

Grey Lady fascinated by Aeolus (Talbott’s Stand) and eager to study him.

The Bloody Baron wanting to stay away from Dagda (Barnaby’s Stand).

I feel the ghosts would be highly curious and fascinated by Stands. In-universe for my AU, since Stands are extremely rare among Wizards, they’re only speculated to be a different type of ghost and only have minimal notes consisting of theories.

Sorry for taking quite a while to finally get to this lol I’ve never drawn the Hogwarts ghosts before so it was definitely a bit of a challenge. I decided not to line them since I liked the sketches way better. Also confession: I traced Talbott’s Stand Aeolus (bottom middle) from his profile pic because I truly didn’t want to deal with drawing out the armor again XD IM SORRY

I left out Duncan because I couldn’t come up with a scenario for him, with the same reasons applying for Ricardo’s Stand.

Since I’m on my iPad for some reason Tumblr won’t let me add links, so I’ll include the tags for each Stand before for anyone interested.

Hufflepuff was criminally underrated and underused

I just want to take the opportunity to appreciate this house and talk about how they could have been used more.

First Newt Scamander is cool with his awesome water dragons and all that.

Second of all, these Hufflepuff students must have been a complete vibe. Imagine working together to make a defense mechanism that drenches an impostor in vinegar. The other houses could never. Do you think they would have this cleverness? This creativity? This hilarity?

Third, their work was severely underappreciated? Like, who built Hogsmeade? A Hufflepuff. Who established the Department of International Magical Cooperation? A Hufflepuff. Who created Being, Beast and Spirit Divisions for the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures? Who established the Department of Magical Games and Sports? A Hufflepuff.

Don’t get me started on the random students. Who was the best Duellist? Diego, a Hufflepuff (1984-91). Who was a werewolf student? Chiara Lobosca (1984-91). We see you Nymphadora Tonks (1984-91). Who was the Leader of the Duelling Club? Karl Limpley (Harry’s time).

Yeah I may be here for A:tLa purposes but you know I do my research. Now let me say my actual points.

1.Hufflepuff’s values

Hufflepuff was the most inclusive house, valuing hard work, loyalty, patience, dedication and fair play. People have said that anyone can get in, rather than the other houses where you have to be special in a certain way.

But I think it’s inclusivity is what puts this house on a great advantage because you have a variety of people coming in. There are athletes, herbology people, clever people, tricksters, and all other types, that make up this house. (in theory, of course, there was little proof of this in the movie series and i genuinely wish they expounded on it a bit more because that would’ve added dimension to Hufflepuff)

And the values that a Hufflepuff is required to have does not hinder any of the students at all, unlike the other Houses. In fact, the boundaries set by Hufflepuff’s values encourage students to find loopholes and develop into better people. And this was a prime opportunity to show that, with a character that was sneaky but followed the rules, or an athletic, brave person, with the most dedication to their house (Cedric doesn’t count) . In fact, they could have used the entire populace to show that when the Triwizard tournament was going on, with the House competing with Cedric in the fairest yet sneakiest way (it could also showcase the familial bond in terms of supporting Cedric).

The values that Hufflepuff had ensured a moral code but did not limit any students in any way. And I love that.

2. Lack of an aptitude

Slytherins are known for their cunning, Gryffindors are known for their bravery, Ravenclaws for their wisdom and Hufflepuffs for their loyalty. You can be loyal and cunning. You can be loyal and brave. You can be loyal and wise. Hufflepuff’s lack of an aptitude welcomed any personality and there weren’t certain restraints put on skillset or personality either, like the shaming of a Gryffindor for being into Herbology (Neville Longbottom), or an unconventionally smart Ravenclaw (Luna Lovegood), or a very morally upright, uptight Slytherin (im sure there was one, cant remember).

Not only did Hufflepuff encourage individuality, it also inadvertently discouraged immorality and arrogance, which was more likely in other houses. The fragile ego of the Ravenclaws could push them to unwise decisions Quirrel and Helena Ravenclaw) and the Slytherins and Gryffindors had unlimited arrogance and felt the constant need to win, clouding their sense of judgement and minds (Draco and Harry).

Hufflepuffs don’t need all that glory. They practiced humility, and all these other values they had made them seem of clearer mind than the other Houses (except when it came to Cedric). This gave them an opportunity to focus on other things and build, solve and work.

R.I.P Narcissa, btw.
