Could you be as so kind as to ramble about our beloved Silverflower <3333
No pressure! And take all the time you need!!
Hi!! I absolutely will (i am so sorry it's taken this long!)
Silverflower Hcs
They are literally so adorable! They are so devoted and sweet and soft with each other.
I'll start with canon-ish Lu first,
He can get very stressed and when he's stressed he is on edge and irritable basically miserable (real) and so one time (ONCE) he snapped at Cissa after she asked a simple question (like How was your day or How are you?) and he just lost it. He just started ramble yelling and by the time he took a breath for his second sentence he just crumbled. Cissa is kinda used to people yelling but she just had this look in her eyes and he just physically crumbled in front of her and just sobbed. He just let it all out and she comforted him as he apologized profusely! He literally never yelled at her again after that (unless it was just a slightly heated ramble about his coworkers or just general silly ranting).
In public he is dressed to the nines! At home he is in the most comfy thing you can find and 90% of the time is in a (house)robe (like those 👇) it isn't sheer btw)
He and Cissa have matching ones 🥰
He is a soccer mom. (the American meaning) No I will not elaborate.
Modern AU
He is a grungey teenage dirtbag nerd!!!! He is covered in tattoos and piercings and is tall af (like at least 6'3) (i don't usually hc characters to be super tall but he is an exception) and yet you will see this tall ass man with Narcissas tiny little pink bag that looks like a coin purse on him all the time!
He also steals her sunglasses and hairclips/scunchies all the time! (She always has extraw for him specifically)
He also has a purse/bag on him whenever he goes out (argue with the wall!!!!).
(In either universe) When Draco was a baby he primarily carried the diaper bag and would have him strapped on him at least 70% of the time when he was holding/taking care of him. (So just imagine this GIANT of a man walking around with this tiny little thing strapped to his chest carrying a baby blue diaper bag at a random grocery store)
He has his septum, lip (his left side), helix, bridge, eyebrow and second lobe pierced and his ears are gauged.
He does in fact have a batman tattoo (again argue with the wall) and a bunch of random but also sentimental things like a little Dragon for Draco but then the actual constellation for Xeno because it was their favorite one when they were little. He also has a (white) rose for Cissa (her favorite flower). He also has a Joker, Queen and Jack of Diamonds for Cissa and Draco.
He is an ex-alcoholic and he did smoke up until Draco was born (he never smoked around Cissa when she was pregnant either). (He usually doesn't do it around her anyway because she hates the smell of cigarette smoke (it reminds her of her father) but especially when she was pregnant)
In the beginning of their marriage he stopped drinking and tried to quit smoking but ended up just doing it in secret and then she found him smoking in his office and he felt really bad and promised her he'd quit (In a canon universe he started smoking again in GoF when he started feeling the dark mark again).
Modern AU Lucius has either Grungey skater boy vibes or he is like man in the 50s. I feel like there isn't really any in between. He's either very casual or very over dressed in the best way. For option A think slightly oversized (somehow) band/graphic tees over long sleeves, lots of hoodies (I will probably end up making him a moodboard), way too many pairs of jeans (mostly straight leg he does have one pair of cursed skinny jeans in the back of his closet that he has for sentimental reasons), cargo pants (even he doesn't know what all the pockets are for), combat boots, one pair of platform boots (even though he already towers over everyone) that he wears like twice a year for fun (mostly to make Rodolphus think he shrunk), a few turtlenecks and lots of diy.
His music taste is Nirvana, Santana, Radiohead, No Doubt, Mother Mother, The Cure, Deftones, Slowdive, Arctic Monkeys, The Smashing Pumpkins, Fiona Apple, Blur, Blink-182, The Struts, Twisted Sister, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Black Sabbath, Noah Kahan, Yungblud, The Cramps, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Bowling For Soup, Simple Plan, Soundgarden and probably more.
As I said in this post, he is always sketching something. At first he started because a therapist said it would be good to have a creative outlet and so he got a sketchbook and a pencil and it started really frantic with harsh lines and let's just say a few broken pencils but now he just sketches literally anything and everything. People, buildings, random trash, food anything and everything. And he's really good at it too. So he always has a sketchbook and at least 3 pencils and a ballpoint pen with him.
He has a ring guy! He always has at least 2 rings on (not including his wedding ring) and he also loves necklaces and earrings (usually at least in one ear in his second love and then the other one is just a little ball or something). All silver!!!
Next is canon-ish Narcissa,
She is always dressed to the nines in public or at home. She is always very out together and has always been. (Insert something about her not feeling like she has any control over anything in her life so the one thing she could control and make perfect was a her appearance here).
I usually hc her to be the only Black sister (or cousin really) to have bone straight hair and she either has Blonde straight hair with a dark brown streak in the front or near her ears) or mostly brown (lighter than her sisters though) and one white streak in the front and then by canon era her whole top section was white and the bottom was white (basically the opposite of movie cissa) so she just charmed it all blonde.
I also hc she's a metamorphmagus and so when she was younger her mother would charm her hair to be brown to match her sisters and then she stopped when she and Cygnus got in a huge argument about it (bc there was a huge rumor that Narcissa wasn't his daughter) and then Narcissa begged Andy to do it for her and she did it a few times but not as well and so Narcissa woke up one day and she looked much more like Andy and Bella and had brown hair but with one strip of blonde in the front and then the next day it was the opposite. One trip to the infirmary later they find out she's a metamorphmagus. Anyway fast forward to when Andy leaves and her hair gets that same brown streak as when she was a kid except its much wavier than the rest of her hair so she had to start using Andy's old straightener to fix it but she couldn't get the brown streak out. Fast forward a few years when Draco born her hair turns all blonde and matches his then when Bella's sentenced to Azkaban (or when she heard the news) her hair turned brown all on the top and was all wavy like her first brown streak (except the blonde) so she just straightens it everyday and charms it blonde to match Lu and Draco's. Post canon she just leaves it alone and let's it do its thing although on days its two different textures (like bella!curly on the top and pin straight at the bottom) she makes it all one texture. (Sorry that was kinda a lot lol)
Cissa is a Basketball dad. Not that she puts immense pressure on Draco about Quidditch but that she's always talking about strategy with him and she trained him (not that Lucius didn't play or wasn't interested he just knew she enjoyed talking about the technicality more than he did he just liked flying and wanted it to be fun for Draco more than anything).(her husband loves watching her get passionate about quidditch strategy btw)
Cissa cannot cook to save her life. She just can't. She's tried following recipes and it doesn't work. And she can't just look at a bunch of random ingredients and make something either. Shes absolutely clueless when it comes to the kitchen EXCEPT for French baking. Croquembouch, made it when she was 6, macarons mastered when she was 4, eclairs, she can make them in her sleep!And she makes a really good tea cake too.
She is very picky about food, she doesn't like most meats and if her fruit is bruised or imperfect in anyway she doesn't want to eat it. Its not that she's trying to be a pain it's just the way she is (lucius will take hours picking through all the produce they get to pick out the "bad" fruit (he ends up sending it to Augusta's for jams or breads etc).
Modern Au Cissa
Her style is very similarly to Lucius' in the way it either very stylish and put together like Paris-chic or grungey-ish like the light version of Lu's or total rockstar's gf (i hate that name but thats what it is)/rockstar (I will make a moodboard!)
A is silk shirts, pencil skirts, slightly flared black pants, velvet, sometimes a spring dress or leggings if she's really feeling rebellious.
B is Lu's sweatshirt, his band tees (yes she has favorites), lots of cargo pants and jeans, cropped plaid skirts, also a lot of diy, lots of Lu's old band tees but cropped, fishnets, fishnet everything, cropped sweatshirts (some are Lus old ones that he doesn't wear anymore repurposed to fit her) Pandora makes them for her she can see ANYTHING) platform boots (bc she is like 5'3-5'5)
C is leather pants, lots of mini skirts, some jeans, tank tops, basically Taylor Momsen style plus a few flannels.
She has her three lobe piercings, a stud above her left nostril and her belly button. If we're going for B or C aesthetic she has like at least 12 piercings between both ears, both sides of her nose, her right eyebrow, her belly button and her bottom piercing on her ears are gauged too (but smaller than Lu's). She also has small more sentimental tattoos, a bouquet with her sister's favorite flowers and their constellation next to it. She also has a matching dragon with Lu for Draco (when he's born), Sirius and Regulus' constellations. A King of Diamonds for Lu.
She's also a jewelry lover! She always has 2 rings (not including her wedding ring), at least 3 necklaces and she has like at least 3 bracelets on each wrist. Pandora makes her (and everyone) charm or bead bracelets and she also has a charm bracelet that Lu gave her for their anniversary and every year he gives her a new charm and when that one was filled to the brim he got her another one.
Now onto Silverflower (finally)
Silver "Lay All Your Love On Me" Flower
Modern au they met at his tattoo parlor when she came in for a new piercing.
Painter Cissa, Traditional artist Lucius
They both play electric guitar and she can play bass. (In a singer au they play for each others album or have surprise appearances and will sing duet versions of their songs) A Star Is Born au? [insert Cynthia erivo gif]) they've also co-headed festivals and at least one tour)
They always have matching outfits whether they mean it or not.
They have matching pjs (and a few matching sets with Draco).
They have matching bag charms but they are swapped so Cissa has a batman one and Lu has a Catwoman one that they won each other at an arcade.
Cissa is VERY competitive and Lu is just happy to be along for the ride so whenever The Lost Gems have they're monthly game night and they're partnered up he is just giving her heart eyes while she has the most determined look on her face.
Lucius worships his wife! (He would have a shrine for her in a closet or something if he could (in canon-ish he does and because malfoy manor is so big she doesn't know about it) dw she does too!)
Cissas love language are Acts of Service and Words of Affirmation and Lu's are Giving Gifts, Cooking and Quality Time.
Modern au Cissa has two pomeranians named Opal and Sapphire and they are her children and she is not afraid to cut you off if you speak badly about them and Lucius had a fluffy whitish gray cat named Pearl and she runs his world. (They got them before they met and trying to move them all in and get them to co-exist was a chore!)
Adding your hc because its so good (plus a little) Lu with Vampire teeth (not naturally he got them done) and Cissa with tooth charms
Random AUs (idk where these came from tbh)
Flower shop owner Cissa, Tattoo Parlor Lu
Co-Salon owners (Cissa is a barber and Lu is a stylist (he always has the best blowout)
I could come up with more but im just going to leave it there because this has already taken an embarrassingly long time already lol.
I hope you enjoy these (I think you will) lmk what you think :) (I'm already thinking if part 2 lol)
After Sirius runs away, Fem!Regulus is meant to take on his duties, which includes getting married and producing heirs. So, old hag Wally decides to start preparing her for marriage and looks for suitable candidates. Now we have option 1, 2 and 3.
Fenrir Greyback– No Voldemort au. Regulus is forced to marry Fenrir, complains to her friends (Barty, Evan, Pandora, Dorcas) about it. Dorcas accidentally mentions it to Marlene. Marlene blabbers it to the rest of the girls. Lily talks to James about it. James can obviously never keep anything from Sirius, so he talks to the boys about it, which results in Remus being protective of Regulus (moon water friendship!!) and they all plan a kidnapping. (Maybe jegulily?)
Tom Riddle–Modern au Regulus marries Tom, has a son with him. You can already imagine how Tom would be with his family, abusive etc etc..so Regulus runs away with her son and hides with Rosekiller. One day Regulus takes her son to a secluded park where Teddy and Harry, Wolfstar and Jily's kids, also play. Regulus and Sirius see each other (boom). Her son and their kids become friends (double boom). Sirius and Regulus talk (Triple boom). (Jily seducing her in secret ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) They keep meeting up and eventually become like normal siblings once again, they go to a restaurant one day and someone sees them (uh-oh), guess who this someone tells? Riddle!! (BIG BOOM). And guess what Riddle does? Blackmail and kidnap! Now we've got Riddle vs Protective Older brother. Protective lovers. Protective best friends.
Voldemort (note the difference)–normal setting Since was meant to the mark but had run away, the Blacks offer Regulus in exchange, but Moldy Voldy says that instead of Regulus taking the mark she has to marry him and give him a powerful heir (yuck). Regulus leaves Hogwarts in her 6th year to go through with the plan, gives him an heir and stays in hiding for the next 4 years, everyone thinks she's dead, no one but Voldemort and Snape (who took care of him when she was injured) were allowed to see her. Once Moldy Voldy is defeated by baby Harry, (Everyone lives!!) Regulus manages to get out and Sirius sees her. 'I thought you were dead...' blah blah blah. Black Siblings reconciling. Slytherin Skittles reunion. Jegulily.
my hc pandora is more like a scientist, curious passionate ravenclaw girl
and it's make her relationship with xeno/lily works for me
like xeno is kinda weird, strange, daydreaming boy, who had same passion as panda's but for different things and pandora adores it so fucking much... like they can talk for hours about theirs magic theories, trying to prove it, making new charms, they even have a diary when they both write their own theories, experiments and discovery... its a perfect scientist & esoteric bimbo dynamic idk. like everyone thinks xeno are insane when he talk about his visions of things and panda be like "how can i make it true?"
and lily are exceptionally talented and hardworking witch, panda and her obviously spends all the time in the library cause they both so hungry for knowledge, magic world nuances and etc. lily always helps panda with her experiments cause pandora is passionate practical part of it while lils are theoretical studied one. and cause of lily is a muggle-born pandora shows and tells her everything she can about wizarding world. lils the one who brings fun and chills in pandora life, cause obviously panda ALWAYS are in her curious scientist mood??? and its lily who make sure pandora see enough sun and breath enough fresh air. little does she knows she is the only sun pandora needs in life.
i also adores the fact of xeno being pandora's moon n lily being her sun
Where the Marauders Era Characters Lived During the War
James and Lily - Bought a house together with a little help from Effie and Monty
Sirius and Remus - Lived together in Sirius’s flat that Sirius was able to afford thanks to Uncle Alphard
Peter - Still lived at his mom’s house but he’d disappear for periods of time (huh, what’s up with that?)
Marlene and Mary - They rented a flat together in muggle London, they supported it as Mary, and Marlene, would do some shifts at a local diner before Marlene had to quit due to the Order needing her at too random of a time. Mary wanted more independence from her family, Marlene wanted that too (her and her mom had issues) but also she wanted to stay away from her family because she didn’t want to risk them getting hurt
Dorcas - Her family kicked her out (it was not done out of maliciousness for the record, it was them trying to force Dorcas into not joining the Order and risking her life…it did not work and then Dorcas was too stubborn and too scared of her family getting caught in the crossfire to come home when they rescinded the deal and started begging her to come back…whoops.). The Tonks family offered to take her in as Andromeda knew the feelings of trying to prove yourself the ‘good Slytherin’ that drove Dorcas. Plus Andromeda just missed having sisters and appreciated having another young women live with her. Also Dora adored her and she may or may not have been 7 year old Dora’s gay awakening and a big inspiration for why she wanted to be an auror.
Dorcas and Marlene - Eventually Dorcas was able to get a job as an auror (Mad-Eye was ok counting her Order missions as her training, as she got more in the field action than your average recruit and after a very abridged two months of more ‘official’ training overseen by Alice, she got hired) and after she got enough money to buy her own flat, she did. Marlene naturally came with, especially since Mary and Marlene had taken to fighting about the war and their positions in it, so by early 1981 they were living in a shared flat together.
Regulus - Lived at Grimmauld Place his entire life
Evan and Barty - As soon as Barty graduated, he moved to the Rosier manor, especially as he got more involved with the Death Eaters. Evan’s father was ok with Barty living under his roof as long as he seemed a loyal follower of Voldemort and he didn’t suspect the two’s relationship. However Evan and Barty did take that opportunity to share a room, even if they had to be discreet about it.
Pandora - Evan made it part of the deal with their father that if he got the dark mark, Pandora would stay out of the war so he sent her to go live with a relative in France, however after engagement plans were made with someone Pandora considered horrible and a bore, she eloped with Xenophilius, who she had met while in France and he was doing more research on gnargles for his future magazine, for awhile they traveled the world together, a distraction for Pandora from the fact that she couldn’t stop any of the visions she saw from happening back in England and a way for her to find out more about horcruxes and how to destroy them. Eventually Pandora ended up pregnant so they bought a flat back in France with the money Xeno got from starting the Quibbler so Luna can be born as Pandora didn’t want to go back to England yet and only after the war was over did she finally go back
