Hi there Alessia!!!! I love the idea for your blog- how cute!!! If it’s not too much trouble may I request a wallpaper for Fred and George Weasley and maybe with the quote “mischief managed”??? Thank you for all your great work 💛❤️
Hello lovely! Thank you so much for your request! I got a little carried away because I love Fred and George so much! I made one with the two brothers together and the quote, and then two with just Fred and George on their own! I hope this is what you wanted! I had so much fun making these today!
They sat on Ron’s bed, fiddling with their wands as Hermione dusted the room.
“Yes it does,” demanded Hermione. “Listen, I know you might not care, but just change it and move the apostrophe, will you? Please? For me?”
The twins groaned.
“Okay,” Fred said. “But only-
“-if it means you stop complaining.” George finished.
“We’ve got a business to run!” they said together, standing and gesturing with their hands.
“So good day, madam,” George called to her. He bounded to the door, and opened it with a bow and a flourish.
Fred winked at her, and then pushed her out the door. “Adieu!”
>>>fast forward to 3 and a half years later>>>
George sighed and looked at his hands, calloused and scarred from the numerous times he had lost control.
He shook his head to clear his thoughts, and then stepped out onto the sunlit main road of Diagon Alley.
Weasleys’ Wizarding Wheezes had once been the brightest store within a 10-mile radius, surpassing even Gringotts and it’s marble walls. Now, it stood there sadly, derelict and abandoned. After half a year, George still couldn’t bring himself to come here.
But he had come, and despite finding the idea of running it without Fred an absolute nightmare, he couldn’t let himself make his mother shed so many more tears because of him.
So he took one last look at the sign, purple and bright, which had once let off sparks that made even the grumpiest wizard crack a smile, and the rabbit that had been pulled out of the hat, with its drooping ears and cracked front tooth.
He stopped short when he saw the lettering, a faded musty yellow that brought him haunting memories that would forever last.
He could still make out the WEASLEYS’ WIZARDING WHEEZES, despite the dust that had been collecting for months now.
And he’s suddenly he’s 15 again, dreaming about a joke store with his twin brother, his best friend, his partner in everything, and for a minute...
everything seems alright.
But reality isn’t alright and Fred isn’t here and it’s no longer Fred and George it’s just George and the joke shop isn’t theirs it’s his and he doesn’t want it because it was their dream not his and everything is just coming at him far too fast...
He falls to his knees and just stays there until Hermione finds him there at midnight, head in his hands and freezing.
No-one really remembers the day that Weasleys’ Wizarding Wheezes becomes Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes, because who notices things like that, but Hermione does, and every year on that day, a fresh bouquet of flowers and a punching telescope are found at Fred’s gravestone.
I'm loving your stories. Maybe Regulus and Lily, to go on with the Regulus thematic? Would you ship them?
Thank you love, I’m glad you like them! <3<3
Yes, yes I’ll ship them together! I never read a story about them, but the Pureblood Prince and Muggleborn Girl is just… Perfection.
And Regulus just knows he should not even look at her. But he just can’t help himself. He doesn’t only look at her, he watches her, as if she is a puzzle and he wants to solve her.
Mudblood, he thinks in his head -trying the word in his mind, wondering how a meaning can disappear from one’s mind. But it just does.
Maybe it’s because Lily smiles at him even though he is wearing green and silver. In that smile, Regulus finds courage, sitting on the same table with her in the library. He knows that if anyone would see him his mother would find out about it. But maybe that’s courage, and maybe that’s why other Slytherins say Gryffindors are not very smart.
It’s plain stupid to smile at her knowing this after all. It’s so very stupid, and dangerous, and he is risking his life and inheritance. He is surprised to see that he doesn’t care.
When he pulls her towards a hidden alcove in one of the many corridors of the castle and the fear in her eyes disappear when her eyes fell on him, he knows that stupid isn’t such a bad thing to be.
They greet each other stupidly, “Hi,” is the word that drops from her mouth, and he can only say the same thing back at her.
He tells her, then. That he is stupid, and it is probably the worst idea ever but even then, would she go to Hogsmeade with him?
And she agrees that t is stupid, and is he sure? Wouldn’t his parents hear of it? “We don’t have to,” she says. But he is sure. He chooses to be stupid.
When Sirius sees them in Hogsmeade together, he steps between Regulus and Mulciber. When they look at each other he knows that once again they are brothers. He holds Lily’s hand in his, he feels her shake with anger and fear, and he promises to never let it go.
When the Samhain night of 1981 comes, and he feels their wards breeched, he grabs her hand one last time. “Kreacher!” he calls, a name that he didn’t utter in years, and as he runs down the stairs to meet Voldemort he hears the familiar crack of House Elf appearing.
Regulus Black dies knowing his wife and son would be safe.
Voldemort sneers at his body.
“Stupid boy.”
I’m playing Would You Ship This? // Send me a ship and I’ll tell you if I’d ship them and maybe a little bit more
@gredandforge is possibly one of the nicest people I think I've ever spoken to and is such a lovely person all the time!! And the tags are great fun to read :3 I wish I could give them a hug!
☾, ♧, ✌, ☮, ☆, ❁, ✓, ϟ. I'm sorry, I know they're almost all the questions there were, but I am so curious about it!
Ahh thanks!! :D I don’t mind, I’m just sorry this is going to be very long probably!!
☾ : favourite word from your language
Ohh that’s already super hard. There are quite a lot of german words I really like, but one of my favorites is definitively:
“Fernweh”
I don’t think it has an exact english equivalent, but it’s basically the opposite of homesickness. Like when you feel a really strong urge to go/be somewhere else? That’s Fernweh, and I think I like the word so much because I feel this particular emotion so often, hahah.
♧ : favourite word from the english language translated in your language
The first word that comes to mind is “autumn”. I’m not sure why I just always loved this word, it rolls off the tongue so nicely and sounds really GOOD and it just looks so good too for some reason?? In german, it’s “Herbst” (which I also like, both the season and the word, heh.)
✌ : favourite proverb/saying from your language
I really like “Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall” - again I’m not sure if there’s an english version of it but i’d translate it as “Pride comes before the fall”, meaning if you’re too proud and overestimate yourself, you will fall/fail.
Another nice one is “Man sieht den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht” - “Amongst all the trees, you can’t see the forest”. This is used when someone misses something really obvious, or can’t see the solution to their problem because there are too many options.
There are so many more, man. I love proverbs. @ everyone who reads this, just send me your favorite proverbs please, I love them with a passion!
☮ : translate the first lines of your favourite song in your language
Okay so this is from “Blue October”’s song “Fear”:
English:
All my life - been running from a pain in me
A feeling I don't understand - holding me down
German:
Mein ganzes Leben - bin ich vor einem Schmerz in mir geflohen
Ein Gefühl das ich nicht verstehe - hält mich nieder.
☆ : give the first lines of a song which is originally in your language
This is from a song by “Die Ärzte” called “Deine Schuld”:
“Hast du dich heute schon geärgert, was es heute wieder schlimm? Hast du dich wieder gefragt warum kein Mensch was unternimmt?”
“Did you get mad today yet, was it bad again today? Did you ask yourself again why nobody is doing anything?”
❁ : which language(s) do you think of as the most beautiful?
Ohhh man. I really love gaelic, icelandic, and japanese? They all have their very own very unique charm.
✓ : funniest word in your language
“Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän”.
You’re looking at me all funny now but this is actually a word. Usually just one people say only for the fun of it though. Because it’s so ridiculous that it’s word. xD It means “captain of one of many steam-powered ships that travel on the danube” (not exactly a literal translation, but close enough)
Another important one is “doch”. Which is what you say when someone says “no” to you and you want to argue. It’s basically a “yes”, but only in response to a no.
ϟ : translate a sentence
Umm? I don’t know which one.. xD
I’ll just go with one of my favorite HP quotes:
“Of course it’s happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it’s not real?”
-> “Natürlich passiert es in deinem Kopf, Harry, aber warum in aller Welt sollte das bedeuten, dass es nicht real ist?”
