hogwarts headcanons
I was feeling inspired and wanted to share some of my thoughts with you about our hp children, @haliawrites and ended up getting a very long list of headcanons and very emotional.
Riley and Alice meeting in their first year. Maybe they have a close bond being great quidditch players and don’t let their gender get in the way of that
Riley used to have a crush on Phoebus but for some odd reason, Alice constantly told her not to waste her time with him.
Riley somewhat ignored this advice and befriended Phoebus only to realize that she wasn’t intersted in him at all but still thought well of him.
Phoebus was never really interested in Riley as anything more than friends but he sees her as being one of his better friends. Maybe even one of the only people he’d talk about Alice with
Riley and Valentine had know each other since their history of magic class. Maybe Riley found herself stepping in to help Valentine but he clearly didn’t need her help but he didn’t stop her in her efforts.
Maybe this sparks a ritual of studying together and as the two get older, its usually Valentine helping Riley to stay focus on her work. Eventually they stop studying during these times and just hangout with one another. Usually ends with Riley asking endless questions about the muggle world and telling him about all the plans she has for them.
Bridget and Roman are extremely close (obviously) and Bridget probably stayed closed to Ro during her earlier years because he was one of the only people who her brothers approved of.
Though Ro is Bridget’s best friend, Riley is a close second. Bridget is thankful to just have a girlfriend that she can talk to about girl things. Eventually Bethany joins this group and the three become extremely close, though they never exclude anyone.
It is Riley who introduces Phoebus and Beth because she thinks they would be good for each other. Riley caught on to Phoebus sneaking looks at Beth. Beth initially turned down the whole thing. It wasn’t until she ran into Phoebus in the green house that she realized maybe there was more to him than just Quidditch.
Eventually the green house becomes their meeting spot because neither are particularly interested on having rumors spread about them and also because of their shared love of herbology. The green house is even where they shared their first kiss.
Speaking of first kisses, I’m 90% sure Riley would kiss Valentine either in the astrology tower or out of excitement in the great hall and would feel embarrassed afterwards because she wasn’t sure how he felt.
Phoebus does this thing when he’s completely in love with a person, he’s constantly looking at the other with this look on his face like ‘you’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever laid eyes on”
All of the kids go to Hogsmeade together every weekend. They all have their favorite shops to stop into and they always end the day by grabbing a butterbeer at The Three Broomsticks.
During these trips, Riley usually pulls Valentine aside and they go off on their own adventure (but sometimes it is Valentine that pulls her away)
Beth and Valentine are friends because of their natural friends but it isn’t until quidditch season that they get closer because they always sit together at the games/practices and they can talk about muggle things and they just completely understand each other.
I can see Beth and Valentine becoming really good friends after some time. It’s kinda cute just thinking about.
I also see the girls trying to recruit Alice and Sally into the mix but I’m not sure how they’d respond. Nonetheless, they try their best and it takes a while before they give in.
speaking of the girls, them all freaking out during yule ball season because this is so special and they go together to get their dresses and spend all day preparing for this special night
I suspect some get dates quicker than the others (poor bridget) and Riley and Beth comfort her and remind her of her self worth
people are surprised that phoebus asked beth to the dance because this is the first time anyone had even thought to put the two of them together but secretly they’ve been meeting for a while now and god doesn’t it feel good not to have to hide it anymore. Ro is probably the most upset that beth didn’t tell him about it all
eventually bridget gets a date and she can’t help but think riley and beth had a hand in the boy asking her out
all the children being able to forget about all their problems and just getting to be kids for once
But this also leads to the night alice sees beth with phoebus. Hence the iconic kiss between alice and phoebus
I suspect beth runs off upset and Ro probably gets to throw a punch or two at him. The girls comfort her all night but she can’t help but cry. After a few days she agrees to meet phoebus in the green house and after he explains that he had no idea what was going on, she eventually forgives him (but she doesn’t forget what had happened).
perhaps this is when beth starts looking at alice slightly different. and of course beth’s friends look at her differently
ALSO THE TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT!!!!!!!!
CAN THIS PLEASE HAPPEN? AND CAN SOME OF CHILDREN BE A CHAMPION BECAUSE: ANGST AND DRAMA AND YES! (to be discussed more later)
Phoebus and Clement have probably been friends the longest out of the whole group because they were sorted together and what not.
Alice and Phoebus though in the same house probably didn’t become friends until quidditch, at least that’s when Phoebus finally started to notice Alice more.
Clement is probably one of the only people Phoebus gets vulnerable with but still doesn’t talk to him about Alice out of fear
But as things start to progress with sides and what not, Phoebus and Clement start to drift apart. I imagine a lot of friends at hogwarts starts to suffer because of this unspeakable tension in the air
Other things that need to happen but i didn’t write: bridget and Val friendship, more connections to Sally and Clement and Ro and harry, more enemies/rivalries???? like I want to see someone come after Val and Beth for their blood status or something to stir things up, a lot of things that I can’t put into words right now because I’m still in awe over these kids.
also I’m so inspired and I really want to add a new male muse because a. balance to the group overall b. another muse means SO MUCH MORE POTENTIAL for the verse
that will be determined later but i’m 99.9% sure he will be a gryffindor
UPADTE: ALSO SIBLINGS!! MAYBE THIS COULD BE A THING WITH THE NEW MUSE OR SOMETHING FOR LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD BUT YES
