I think people forget that in the wizarding world, certain unnatural muggle hair colours are natural to wizards. Like, canonically, having silver hair as a kid isn’t weird in the wizarding world, it’s just a natural hair colour for some people. So I’d like to submit some “natural” hair colours. Ruby red, rose gold and that one shade of dark purple hair dye companies love to put with the natural colours for some reason.
SLYTHERIN HEADCANONS l Draco’s year + Astoria (canon-compliant minus the epilogue/The Cursed Child)
INTER DYNAMICS
sometimes hang out all together but some are closer than others: Pansy&Draco, Theo&Blaise, Goyle&Crabbe + Draco, Tracy&Daphnée, The Girls (+Blaise)
BLAISE ZABINI
- Zabini is his mother's surname (maiden name)
- Has veela blood from his mother's side
- Ms Vittoria Zabini went to Beauxbatons and she moved from Rome to London when Blaise was 10 bc she was engaged as a hitwoman by a woman-owned private compagny (women who didn't get justice against their aggressor - example : abusive ex- contact her and she uses her beauty to seduce them then kills them and takes their money 🤑)
- She grew up in a working class family in Naples and became rich by being a crook, using her beauty and spells to steal from men that were too enamoured with her to notice; she also modeled for a few magazines such as "Witch Weekly"
- Blaise has a disorted view of love (and of men) because of that
- He doesn't have any siblings but is close with his cousins back in Italy (some of his models of healthy masculinity along with Theodore)
- Him and his mother are particularly close and he tries to emulate (?) her
- tries to be nonchalant -and mostly succeeds
- if he's angry at someone, he won't yell but will be passive aggressive/ give the silent treatment
- Blaise came out as a trans guy at the end of 4rth year (it is way more accepted in the wizarding world and they have customized potions for it)
-> which means he shared a dorm with the slytherin girls for most of his time at school and is therefore closer to them than the boys in general, but has always been close to Theodore
- thinks Goyle and Crabbe are stupid and looks down on them
- Got to know Draco better after his transition and they dated after a few weeks of sharing a dorm
- Dated Draco in 5th year but they had a messy break up that ended ruining the vibe of the friendgroup at the end of the year - both are bitter - but after after their friends confronted them they made an effort to be "cordial" (tho they make passive agressive comments abt each other) - they become friends again a few years later
reasons for the break-up :
-> different vision of love based on their reference growing up (blaise : mother kills her husbands/draco : parents who love each other),
-> Blaise has a more pessimistic vision of love
-> they went through a honeymoon phase but since they started dating quickly after being in the same dorm, they didn't know each other that well so their personality clashed at times/they started finding some traits of the other annoying or even hurtful
-> Blaise was jealous of how much attention his boyfriend was giving Harry (even if negative, too much focus on one person)
-> they often fought over their different opinions of Death Eaters, whom Blaise looked down on - notely because he thinks its pathetic to follow a master (not out of love for Muggles let's be real, though he could find it too extremist)
-> Draco said "the l word" and was projecting with Blaise in the future (like he thought they were going to get married and all that) but Blaise was taken aback because, although he liked Draco and was attracted to him, he didn't feel like his feelings ran that deep
- their mothers became fast friends when they started dating -when lucissa open their relationship narcissa and her have an affair
- He'll become a model post-Hogwarts
- has a crush on Ginny Weasley but doesn't want to admit it (bc of the whole blood-traitor thing)
- will end up with Ginny and he gets along with Fleur (who also models but only part-time) and the two of them + Draco form a trio of the controversial partners at the Weasley family dinners lol
- plays the piano
AMELIA (NEE GREGORY) GOYLE
- used to have a crush on Draco, thinks he is very funny
- Went to the yule ball with Crabbe but didn't work out, still held a torch after that night
- has a signature expression that everyone finds extremely cringe
- a bit shy
- it was polyjuicing as girls for Draco's task that made the egg crack
- came out as a trans woman post-war
- pansy was very happy to give her a makeover
- bc of her (enjoyed) use of cruciatus : went to a rehabilitation program from the Ministry and discovered a taste for cooking there and learns to not just be a follower but also a leader (in her bakery)
- to canalize her violent pulsions, takes up boxing
- becomes a baker
- plays maracas
PANSY PARKINSON
- mall goth- witch edition
-hates the expectations that go with being a pureblood girl so she rebels against her parents by keeping her hair very short, wearing mostly black and being loud and not very studious
-that's why she goes do hard on Hermione : jealous of the freedom of half-blood/muggleborn girls
-4 older sisters that do fit the pureblood tradwife
-not close to her parents so she transfers her love of family to her friends and is very affectionate and caring
- has the same bob and microbangs since she’s a kid and only time she let her her grow for a change (during the summer before 6th year), her friends almost didn’t recognize her (she cut it back on day 2)
-mom friend
-was childhood friends with Parvati Patil but they grew apart when they got into enemies houses and Pansy got mean (maybe she was always like that but Parvati saw a new side of her she didn't know before cause they had 1on1 friendly interactions)
-very sociable
- dates ginny post war but doesn't last long : she doesn't wanna settle and prefers short and passionate relationships

-future wine aunt
-party girl
- is very close to her korean grandparents -who are hippies and live in the korean countryside and often goes there (and invites her friends, especially Draco) during the hols

VINCENT CRABBE
- felt confused with his feelings about Goyle, wondered if he was bi (is actually straight but Goyle came out after his death so he never found out...)

- has a very naive vision of death/violence, doesn't think ahead of the consequences of his actions

- plays the triangle
MILICENT BULSTRODE
-youngest of siblings who fight often
-parents gave her a cat because they tought caring about an animal would make her less aggressive
-it worked a bit so her parents gave her a second cat (and kept doing it until she her aggressivity goes away - it worked but she plans fights with Pansy just so her parents get notified and she can keep getting more cats)
-always falls asleep first and looks innocent & angelic when sleeping
-plays the basson
-becomes a wizarding nightclub bouncer/ vigile
DAPHNÉE GREENGRASS

-plays the transverse flute
- took Muggle Studies in her 8th year
- becomes Head of the Department of the Muggle-Wixen Relations at the Ministry and write romance books in her spare time
TRACEY DAVIS
-she's mixed : dad is white British and mom is Morrocan
-pre-Hogwarts, as she went to a Muggle preschool/primary school, she was a bit ashamed of her arabic origins (because of racist remarks) and tried hard to fit in with her white british classmates by rejecting her mother's culture
-because of her frequentations, she got some internalized prejudice towards her father's side - who's Muggle - despite having a good relationship with them - doesn't usually talks about them to her friends because she doesn't handle rejection well
-since racism isn't really a thing in the WW, she started getting more in touch with her mother's culture as a teen

-art kid
- has glasses
-her dad's a guitar teacher and taught her - she particularly likes electric guitar

-his dad resents him because his wife's quickly worsened following her pregnancy
-very introvert, always his head in a book
-actulally likes the History of Magic class
-has a tuxeto cat
-his father was way older than his mother and his friends' parents in general so he's more old fashioned and conservative
-late bloomer, actually had to have his friends (probably draco) to give him the sex talk cause his parents sure didn't
-nerdy about very specific subjects, mostly ones they don't study in class (ex : magic from other countries...)
-because of his mom's passing in front of him, he has a very mature view of death at a young age, especially compared to his friends
-doesn't agree with Death Eaters because of it (and since he's not close to his dad)
-uncomfortable with affection
-also developed a pessimistic vision of love after his break-up with Daphnée and bonded with Draco about it (although he doesn't wanna take side/criticize Blaise as he is closer to him
-thinks Pansy is too loud and obnoxious
-has glasses
-plays the cello
-becomes a researcher in History of Magic
DRACO MALFOY
-during the christmas of 2nd year, he's shared a dorm friends with Crabbe and Goyle for a year and a half, they're friends since nappies as their fathers as their fathers are "friends"/ex-"colleagues" : he definitely knew it wasn't them when Ron and Harry used polyjuiced (he just ragebaited them as usual), meaning he's not usually mean to his friends (probably can be but not necessarily more than the average child)
-loves his friends but doesn't trust them enough to confide his problems
-so if something's wrong he'll bottle up during the day and cry in his bed at night
- has a lot of internal turmoil with his values (wand lore basically confirms it)
-after he and Blaise broke it off, he dramatically declare that he didn't believe in love anymore (see : when he and Theo scoff at Slughorn explanation of Armotentia)
-doesn't think Crabbe and Goyle are as stupid as Blaise or Harry do but part of why he hangs out most with them IS that he likes being the smartest in the group cause he is insecure
-in 6th year, he started being snappy and making rude comments to his friends, didn't listen to what they said anymore (bc he was so focused on his task and stressed about it) so at some point most of them started giving him the silent treatment - I reckon Pansy would be the one that stuck by him but she's not in his dorm and with Daphnee and Theodore’s break up the girls and boys avoid hanging out all together
-normally, he's the type to spend 45 minutes in the shower - at the great annoyment of his roommates- , has an extensive hair and skincare routine with 10 different expensive hair products
-that only stops during 6th year (maybe even 7th year to a degree) he doesn't want to waste time and his priorities are not on his appearance : he starts having acne, purple eyebags and doesn't slick back his hair anymore nor cut it : it looks messy, long(ish), dull and even slightly greasy at times
-affectionate
-plays the violin
-sweet tooth like Narcissa
-becomes a wizard musical actor, then during his mid-forty changes jobs and starts writing songs for wizarding musicals instead
ASTORIA GREENGRASS
-dated Padma Patil for a few months in her 4rth year (when Padma was in her 5th year)
-plays the harp
-she has a muggleborn slytherin friend in her year and a few half-blood, so her friendgroup was already more open-minded than her sister's
-found Draco obnoxious/arrogant at school like her sister, but becomes friend with him when they both end up studying at the Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts
-> they were in a play together and Draco's character was in love with hers (her character doesn't have lines as she's a dancer and not an actor) but since they had a duo, they had to spend time together and became very close friends once she found out he wasn't still a dick like at school
-will become a witch classical dancer
-Draco introduces her to his cousin Luna Lovegood and they immediately click and start dating not long after meeting (spoiler alert : they live happily ever after without blood curse bs)
-before that, she dated a Muggle woman (also a dancer) for a few years
-personality similar to Scorpius : intelligent, silly, loyal, clumsy, empathic, awkward, probably neurodivergent…
- she has rosacea (Luna finds her pink cheeks adorable)
Harry pushed that thought away as McGonagall went to check on them. She narrowed her eyes. “Potter, where is your partner?”
“Uh-”
“I’m here.” Tracey finally managed to manuever through the crowd and stood next to Harry, very pointedly not looking at anyone. McGonagall gave a curt nod and began to usher the other students into the Great Hall.
Harry looked over at Tracey, who was adjusting the long silver necklace she had adorned. Her dress robes were a shimmering, molten gold, dotted by black onyxes of various sizes.
Tracey caught him looking, and sighed. “Either Zabini’s a Seer, or he’s the evil mastermind behind all this. I can’t believe he picked out compatible robes for us.”
“Well…” Harry’s voice trailed off. At least they wouldn’t look like a clashing mess on the dance floor.

Best remembered for starring in the 1959 re-make of the 1930 Marlene Dietrich film The Blue Angel, May soon after married legendary singer, dancer and actor Sammy Davis Jr. amidst great controversy at a time when Civil Rights were at a boiling point in America. Dropped by 20th Century Fox after her engagement to Davis was announced during an era when inter-racial marriage was illegal in thirty-one states, the newlyweds were subjected to hate mail and threats to their lives and were forced to have armed guards with them at all times in the early years of their union. Married until 1968, May and Sammy had a daughter named Tracey together in 1961 (who pre-deceased her mother in 2020), and adopted two sons, Mark and Jeff, in 1963. Though the couple parted due to Sammy's focus on his career and rigorous touring schedule and both went on to marry others, Tracey told The Los Angeles Times in 2014 that they "never fell out of love". May she rest in peace.🕊️

Fanart for "I never feel more alive than when I'm fighting real monsters" by apenmadefullmetal on ao3
@apenmadefullmetal Firstly, a forewarning that I'm not very familiar with posting to/for people on tumblr actually works so I have no idea if I'm doing this right. Like what do I put as the title?? Am I meant to talk as if I'm addressing the author or the whole of tumblr?? Am I even posting in the right place? I've just come over from ao3 to throw some art into the void, so here we go
Not what I initially visualised when I said I'd be drawing some fanart on "Death is but the Next Great Adventure"... but I thought I'd share a little sketch I did of Tracey Davis at the Yule Ball!
I've always loved picturing the dress robes from HP and feel like the movies did them dirty. The way you described them this book just really got my imagination rolling! I kinda struggled to visualise Tracey at first because she wasn't in the books, but over the course of her sparse appearances she somehow evolved into a freckled brunette with a pixie cut, and the way she just formed like that in my mind really inspired me to draw her.
Was initially to draw Harry with her, but I got lazy lol.
I also LOVE your own art of Tracey and the others at the Ball! They're so so adorableee. Ling/Greed's outfit is honestly superior - and his smile is so mischevious. This art is just what I imagined from your writing, I don't mean to offend or anything!
To anybody else out there, I really really really recommend checking out apenmadefullmetal's fics on ao3.
I hope you enjoy! I'll hopefully be back to post more bits and pieces soon<33
A sketch of Pansy, Tracey and Emilia From Chapter 5 of Lessons in Silence, my isekai harry potter fanfic.
I appreciate the girls. Simple as that, even if initial impressions are hostile for teen reasons </3
If there is a "Slytherin boys" thing on social media, is there also some kind of Slytherin Girls content somewhere?
I admit that i would really enjoy Pansy Parkinson, Daphne Greengrass, Millicent Bulstrode or Tracey Davis taking me as an arranged bride meanwhile they manage their Slytherin/Pure-blood jobbery. Thank you very much.
