Oh god not again! By Sarah1281

Here are the stills of my most recent bind!

This classic was absolutely hilarious and I’m absolutely obsessed!

So, the cover was meant to mimic the Hogwarts- A History book design, as it’s brought up many times in the story, but I made it as if it was some Potter merch. 😅

I used scraps of genuine leather for the spine and corners, and I scanned marble paper I had at home to print it on bookcloth for the cover. (I would have used the actual marble paper but I didn’t have enough of it)

I made 50+ silly doodles to illustrate the story, as if someone sketched them out of boredom on the margins of a schoolbook with a feather quill.

The dust jacket is meant to fit Harry’s merch line from the story. Designing it was half the fun, and I was heavily inspired by the classic Mina Lima aesthetics.

It’s such a silly story, it only made sense to make a silly binding to match.

Summary:

So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

Excerpt:

"Hello," said Draco. "Hogwarts, too?"

"Yes," Harry nodded.

"My father's next door buying my books and mother's up the street looking at wands," said Malfoy. He had the same bored, drawling voice at eleven as he did at twenty-three.

"Not much point of that until you get there, though, right?" Harry asked.

"True, but she needs something to do while I'm in here. After that I'm going to drag them off to look at racing brooms. I don't see why first-years can't have their own. I think I'll bully father into getting me one and I'll smuggle it in somehow."

"They probably won't check the luggage, so if you just shrink it, you can carry it in and then unshrink it once you're there. Of course, you'd have to claim it belonged to an older student if anyone asked, but that shouldn't be too difficult," Harry suggested.

Draco looked at Harry approvingly. "That just might work. I'd have to learn how to unshrink things, but until then I could get an older student to do that, as well. Say, have you got your own broom?"

"Not at the moment," Harry answered, noncommittally.

"Play Quidditch at all?"

"Of course, I'm seeker. You?"

"Same. Father says it's a crime if I'm not picked to play for my house, and I must say, I agree. Know what house you'll be in yet?"

"I think I'd like to be in Gryffindor. I hear they have the best parties."

"Well, that's okay, if you're into that sort of thing. I'm going to be in Slytherin, all our family has been there-"

"Well, that's okay, if you're into that sort of thing," Harry interrupted and he could've sworn he say Draco's mouth twitch upwards.

"Imagine being in Hufflepuff, I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?"

"Well, maybe not LEAVE…that's a bit drastic, but I'd definitely defect. I mean, Hufflepuff sounds like a brand of marshmallows or pillows or something."

This time he knew he wasn't imagining it. Draco Malfoy, fighting a smile because of something he, Harry Potter, had said. He never thought he'd see the day! This actually was sort of fun. 

Why weren't they friends again?

(FYI - This is not a Drarry story, but it’s really fun anyway)

I love Harry's and Lockhart's chemistry in Sarah's1281 fanfics. (Oh God Not Again! and When In Doubt, Obliviate.)

They can be a truly dastardly duo if they want to :P

I mean I wasn’t gonna go that deep into it, but I actually have a lot of Thoughts about this, so here we go.

On the most basic level, I’d say: Joseph himself clearly has very mixed feelings about it when they show up, and he definitely doesn’t give them a free pass. He really tests them to see if they’ve learned their lesson, and it isn’t until he sees that they’ve really changed that he confesses who he is and invites them to stay with him in Egypt. (He does give them food beforehand, but I mean... forgiveness or no, it would take some incredible vindictiveness to let his own family starve. And even if he had no problem getting back at them that way, denying them food would have meant letting his father and the rest of the family starve too, and they were innocent.) 

And we see what a dramatic turnaround the brothers have done: Judah offers to stay as a slave himself rather than let that happen to Benjamin. He acknowledges that Benjamin is their father’s favorite, to the point that Jacob literally refers to Joseph and Benjamin as his only children (“My father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two [children]’”), and yet rather than seeing Benjamin as a threat to be gotten rid of, Judah fights to protect him at the cost of his own freedom, if necessary. That’s a man who’s changed deeply in the twenty-odd years since they last saw Joseph. And it’s only after Judah makes that impassioned plea that Joseph breaks down in tears and reveals himself.

But I also think, to properly understand the story, you have to look at why the brothers chose to do what they did in the first place. Because it’s not as simple as them being petty over Joseph being Daddy’s Favorite. IMO (and there are several Biblical commentaries that agree with me on this, but I think you can also glean it just from the Biblical text), the brothers took Joseph telling them about his dreams as a statement of his intent to claim supremacy over them. Specifically, as him trying to usurp Reuben’s rightful place as firstborn and future head of the family. 

Bear in mind that’s exactly what had happened in the last generation with Jacob and Esau, and Jacob literally had to flee for his life because he thought Esau might kill him over it. These things were taken extremely seriously back then. All the more so because we’re talking about people who had prophecy and were very aware of themselves as being in the process of founding a nation. So Joseph’s seeming intent on declaring himself king over his brothers was potentially an act with not just political but also religious significance. In the eyes of the brothers, he was threatening to completely destroy the legacy of their family, and the future Hebrew nation, through his arrogance. They may well have actually thought they’d save a lot of future bloodshed by selling him into slavery now and avoiding a full-fledged war over the inheritance after Jacob’s death.

That’s not to say the brothers were right to sell him into slavery, obviously. The Bible clearly condemns them for it, and you see the deep guilt they felt over it years later. (Plus, y’know... just from a common-sense moral perspective, selling your teenage brother into slavery cannot really be justified.) But that is to say that they had reasons for doing it that were a bit deeper and more understandable than a surface-level reading of the story might indicate. And I think Joseph, who very obviously matured a lot in the years after he was sold, had had time to reflect on his own part in all of this and the mistakes he’d made. Again, those mistakes don’t mean he deserved what he got. He didn’t. But there are ways he could have handled things that wouldn’t have registered to his brothers as a threat, and I think he came to realize that as the years went by.
