hc + war

Amycus is not naturally intelligent or bookish. He grows bored all too easily. During lessons, he’s likely staring out the window, tracing over words scrawled on parchment until the nib of his quill wears through to the desk, or whispering quietly to the Slytherin in the seat next to him. He’s better at the practical stuff anyway. Amycus’ strength has always been more physical than anything else. He learns by doing, not by reading about it in a book. He particularly excels at magic that lies strictly outside of the school curriculum. Amycus has held a reverence for Dark Magic since he was a young boy, fixating on them the way a muggle child might fixate on dinosaurs or trucks. Selfish and not afraid to hurt others if it means getting what he wants, darker branches of magic suit him perfectly. 

It is fortunate for Amycus that he lives in a time of war, where his skills make him useful rather than a miscreant or troublemaker, though he is still both these things in the eyes of his teachers. Without a purpose to commit to, Amycus would be nothing more than the brute at the back of the class, destined to be an underachiever, too coarse and abrasive for any legitimate occupation in the years to come. War gives him something to aspire to. It gives him ambition. He will graduate Hogwarts and he won’t have to think about what comes next. He doesn’t have to consider a profession seriously or worry about his family’s dwindling fortune. Because of the war, Amycus will either prosper or die.

Amycus doesn’t know that it comes at a cost. He treats life like it’s nothing. He has witnessed the Cruciatus Curse, just like any other aspiring Death Eater. He has seen what the curse does, how it makes you writhe on the floor, cries tearing out of you, nails splintered from scratching long grooves into the stone floor of the cellar. The first time he did it, it made him vomit. The second time he didn’t even flinch. The third time he enjoyed it. Dark magic is a drug and on it Amycus soars. 

He doesn’t understand how much he has to lose because he never thought that was where it would lead to, losing. The Carrows’ alliance with the Dark Lord was never under question. Already devoted to preserving their own purity and that of the magical world as a whole, it was natural they join the Dark Lord in his efforts to gain power. Announcing his intention to serve the Dark Lord when the time came was never a choice Amycus had to make. His blood, pure as crystal, made that decision for him.

hc + gryffindor + slytherin

If the world were as the Dark Lord wanted it and mudbloods didn’t roam magical Britain freely, Amycus might have set his sights on Gryffindor House. Daring, nerve, courage; these are all qualities Amycus aspired to. As it is, the house is ridden with mudbloods and bloodtraitors. It’s part of what sets Gryffindor apart from its longstanding rival Slytherin. Slytherin House is one of the last sanctuaries from muggle filth, where anyone with an overpowering respect for their blood will be sorted. Gryffindor House is not the place for a Carrow. Amycus always belonged to Slytherin, where ambition is valued, regardless of the collateral damage. Little does it matter, for Amycus’ sole request during his sorting was that he join his sister and she had just slid into a seat at the Slytherin table.

hc + mulciber (sorry I couldn't help it)

Send me  “HC”  + a word and I’ll write a headcanon about it.  

on the one hand mulciber interests mary. she wants to know why he has so much hatred inside of him and why he feels the need to be mean to everyone who crosses his path. on the other hand he scares mary. he’s the only person that scares mary. she tries to keep out of his way and if she does have to spend time with him she makes sure that the room is full of other people. she wants to get to know him but at the same time she doesn’t want to be anywhere near him. it’s complicated.
