“maybe the goal was never to fix myself. maybe it was to finally accept myself.”

[thechosengryffindor]

im gonna head mobile- but I got a few more things in the queue!

[legacieas]

✱ 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱‚   @thechosengryffindor :   “ if I think about it, I get angry. and I don’t know where that anger stops. so I’d rather not start at all. ” —   prompts for emotionally stunted idiots.

ginny was quiet for a moment after he spoke, her gaze fixed on him as she tried to decide whether she was more frustrated by what he’d said or how familiar it sounded. because that was harry, wasn’t it? carrying things until they became too heavy to lift, then convincing himself the solution was to never touch them again.

she shifted a little closer, her expression softening.

“ harry, ” she said quietly, “ the thing about not letting yourself feel angry is that it doesn’t actually make it go away. ” her eyes searched his face. “ it just means you’re carrying it around by yourself. ” a small sigh escaped her as she shook her head. “ and for the record, I think you’ve earned the right to be angry. ” there was no judgement in her voice. only understanding. “ you don’t have to pretend you’re above it all the time. ” her gaze held his steadily. “ and you definitely don’t have to do it alone. ”

[thechosengryffindor]

Sometimes Harry thought he didn’t ever want to think again- ironic, since he thought about not thinking a lot. It was something he hadn’t said out loud before- a confession he hadn’t allowed himself to make before. It didn’t surprise him that Ginny was the one to draw it out of him- she had always had a way of drawing confessions out of him, even though he didn’t’ want this. Didn’t want that anger, the misery of the war, the myriad of other emotions he held at bay every day to finally overwhelm him.

Sometimes that anger felt like it might swallow him whole.

At the sound of his name his attention snapped to Ginny, green eyes studying her intensely as she spoke. “I wish it would. I wish it would just...vanish. Like magic.” But she was right, he could feel it- humming just beneath his skin and pounding against the cage of reason he had set up for himself. “I’m not above it I just-” Harry exhaled shakily, looking down at his hands before turning his attention back to her. “Sometimes I think if I let go it’ll swallow me whole.”

what happens if you don't come back? from @musamulta

"Then you'll be safe." Harry emphasized the last word, his hand running through his messy dark hair, truthfully he doesn't care what happened to him. Maybe he should, or maybe he was always destined to be here- at this point, not caring whether he lived or died.

After all what was death, but the next adventure?

"I'd be with them... I-" It sounded too good to be true, and deep down he knows a part of him doesn't want that- he has too much to come back for, but it's easier to be honest; to admit how weary he is to Hermione. She's always been easy to talk too, even when he was so wrapped up in anger and self loathing- it had never felt like she judged him... sometimes he didn't know what to do with that.

"I shouldn't have said that- I'm sorry."

[dcvium]

"It's not one I use often, though I have been known to use 'reducio' to make objects smaller. They're cuter when they're tiny." She'd accumulated a few trinkets, though she hadn't moved many of them into this flat. They were still at her father's estate, for the moment. She'd have to deal with clearing that out, eventually. Fingers softly trailed over the skin of Harry's arm as they rested, keeping her mind in the moment.

"Well, you wouldn't have to go, but it might be nice to? I kept this place pretty bare-bones during the war and I'd rather bring as few of my previous possessions into this place as possible." Knick-knacks, trinkets, memorabilia of pleasant memories. Those could come. Furniture? No. The fewer of her father's possessions, the better. There was a pause before her brows furrowed. What had happened to Harry's things during the war? He had to have left them behind, right? Perhaps some were recoverable.

[thechosengryffindor]

"Reducio is useful- honestly I reckon it's better to make things smaller than to make them bigger. They're kinda unwieldy when they're bigger." The corner of his mouth twitched with the urge to smirk, the pure small talk of this conversation was to be cherished. The tips of her fingers against his arm made his heart skip

"I want too." Harry said quietly, and maybe it's paranoia- but people he cared about tended to die when he wasn't around. "I don't have much of anything. What i did have is either at the Burrow or Grimmauld." Honestly the amount of things he had could fit in a trunk, habits of a childhood where his presence wasn't wanted.

"It's about time I finally figured out where home is. I've been just kind of drifting and... I want more than that."

Hello friends

[thechosengryffindor]

"You're okay, just breathe for me." from @dcvium

Harry swallowed back a feeling of irritation- he had no idea what had brought it on but he couldn't breath. He was going to die, that much he was distinctly aware of. His heart was pounding against his chest and he groaned, why was this happening to him now? Why was he so weak-why...

If he could just breathe- he'd be fine if he could just breath, why couldn't he breath. His hand clutched his chest, the pain he had been ignoring since coming back to Hogwarts threatened to overwhelm him and, not for the first time, he would love to know what was going on with him... but he also didn't want to know at the same time.

"I'm- I'm sorry..."

[thechosengryffindor]

What first drew you to your muse?

Do you have any verses you want to write but haven't fully figured out yet?

Are there any parts of canon that you ignore for your muse?

Is there any fanon about your muse that you can't stand?

i love the chosen one trope, and what harry is ultimately chosen for makes him stand out imo.

All of them really, i mostly play in his main verse.

I tend to ignore a lot of 6 and 7, from the 'beast' in harrys chest (all the romance really. Its all bad) to Harrys nonchalant attitude about the war in 6. In my head the death of Sirius pushes him to be a better wizard

I hate, HATE, how fanon harry is written as a bad friend and a lazy talentless wizard. He was a teenage boy being asked the impossible. But he's described multiple times as smart and adept at practical magic. The wizarding world wouldnt have survived without Harry as well as Hermione and Ron.

Its a fucking trio for a reason.

"You're okay, just breathe for me." from @tnott

This is the last thing he had expected- it didn't make sense! It had bene years, he'd been to the mind healer before... He should be better, why did his chest feel tight? What was wrong with him? This wasn't who he was anymore, why did he feel like that weak little kid who couldn't protect himself anymore?

Harry had dismissed his class for the day- much to their enjoyment, and had meant to just go to his quarters and wait it out, except he'd found Theo who seemed to know exactly what was happening.

Despite the ache in his chest he turned away, "I'm fine I-" His fingers dug into his chest as he stared at anything but her. "This is not happening... not now."
