        “I wouldn’t let that thing inside the house.” Hermione smiled as she watched a few students with a niffler. “You’ve heard about what happened to Professor Umbridge haven’t you?” A small smile graced her lips and she put a hand on her hips watching their fresh young faces light up as she recounted the story.

❝ New edition, look! ❞ Hagrid holds up a copy of The Monster Book of Monsters - struggling against the half-giants excited grip. The book was almost identical to the version he already owned, but now with the addition of a sticker on the cover which reads, ‘With Even More Monsters!’   ❝ I jus’ hope he gets on with the other one, ❞ he adds, thoughtfully. 

@themagicaluniverse​ liked a starter call. ( not currently accepting !! )

Questions for the Mun

☁ What's an FC that you refuse to play with? Why?

I’ve got a small list, to be honest. Nothing major but there are just some faceclaims that I can’t stand and can make it very difficult for me to take an interest in roleplay with that character. It is a bit confusing as when I agree to roleplay with someone it’s because I like the character, their writing and the mun seems friendly - not because I like the faceclaim. To be honest, I have roleplayed on occasion with faceclaims I’m not the biggest fan of, but there are just some that I absolutely cannot stand. A rough list includes Justin Bieber, One Direction, Miley Cyrus and some disney actresses/actors. I don’t even like seeing pictures of them on my dash.

Munday Ooc Questions

16: [OC] What gave you the inspiration for your muse?

I think it was just simply the fact that there is no sibling to Harry in the series. Just that ‘what if’ thought alone was something that had me really curious and basically was the start of me creating Amelia. I’ve had Amelia for several years now so I don’t remember exactly how I came up with certain aspects of her story (I know most of it included a heck lot of brainstorming) but I just remember wanting to avoid all of the ‘typical’ stuff Harry twins were given in fanfiction (as most, if not all, Harry twins were written in fanfiction at that time rather than for roleplay purposes/accounts). These basically included

Harry’s sister practically knowing everything about everything about Harry as though she had been there his entire life right up to their meeting

Harry’s sister practically throwing herself into Harry’s arms when they first meet

Being able to talk to animals (some even have a pet that they can communicate telepathically to)

Having a scar like Harry (or a different shape) despite the prophecy only speaking about a boy as well as Voldemort only trying to kill Harry before he goes *poof*

Having her hair and eyes change colour when using her magic despite not being a metamorphmagus

Being more powerful than Voldemort

Strange as it sounds, these were my inspirations to avoid XD I wanted to avoid this entirely and I really hope I have succeeded to some degree. I mean, sometimes I do worry about the whole ‘natural wandless magic’ thing but I’ve tried to make Amelia not ‘all powerful’ by making her

naive

very inexperienced with magic

having a wand as well that she uses in class as well to help fit in with the other students

having private lessons to learn how to control her wandless magic

and her learning how to use her wandless magic is not going to be an overnight thing - it’s gonna take a fuck load of practice

Like, even at the end of the seventh book/movie, if she was to suddenly face off someone like Voldemort, Amelia wouldn’t stand a chance. She is a powerful witch but she’s not that powerful, and her not knowing that the wizarding world exists, let alone that she’s a witch, until she was 15 puts her at a major disadvantage. So I guess in a way, wanting to avoid all that was my inspiration and I think it has worked well to a certain degree as I haven’t come across a Harry twin yet that isn’t as accepting initially of the Potters and the wizarding world.

Amortentia: While brewing the love potion in none other than potions class, your character takes a whiff at the stuff. What do they smell? (I know you didn't reblog the meme. I don't care. Have a thing!)

Amortentia: While brewing the love potion in none other than potions class, your character takes a whiff at the stuff. What do they smell?

I have to admit I haven’t thought too much over what Amelia would smell from an amortentia potion. It’s just something that I haven’t come to think carefully over (although knowing me I would have come to it sooner or later) so my response for this will be super small as I’m literally just rambling away and going off the top of my head at the moment, but I think Amelia would smell stuff like fresh wood, smoke from a burning candle, an ice rink and so forth. If she ends up having a main love interest later on then more than likely there would also be a smell in the love potion that she associates with that person but for now it’s just mainly those three other scents I listed.

Is your character familiar with Muggle technologies, customs, or money?

She is. Her understanding of muggle culture is based largely on the fact that she was not supposed to understand it. After the death of her mother, Alice was moved to New York by her father (whose old job at MACUSA was back up for grabs). From ages 6 to 11, she lived under Rappaport’s Law – a law that said members of the wizarding community and muggles could not inter-marry or even befriend one another.

So guess what she did in her spare time? Learned all she could about the muggles of New York.

Okay, my turn :)

Send me a URL and I will tell you my favorite thing about that blog.

There’s literally too many things for me to list? I remember it was your writing that drew me in and of course the characters (omg how you write so many characters flawlessly but keeping them their own person/staying true to the character never fails to blow my mind) but now it’s so much more cause I adore chatting to you ooc as well and how our characters have expanded over the course of our threads. I’mma just say everything cause it’s the truth. I always get hella excited when I see a reply from you and when I see you in my IM. You’re an absolute joy to follow and chat/interact with <3

I think one of the things I find most impressive about Amelia is how consistent she is and how wittily you write her. She's wonderful!

What do you think of my characterisation?

omg I’m so glad she comes across that way and it means soooo much coming from you I can’t thank you enough ❤️❤️
