Hogwarts Headcannons 3
Give me Harry, Hermione, Dean, and Justin from the D.A, muggleborns they are, doing a movie night every week to help the D.A. relax and bond. They re-start this after the battles, during Eighth year, with several other people such as the returned Slytherins joining in. The entire year they play things like Tangled, The Breakfast Club, Brave, Lion King. But then the last four weeks, they announce they don’t want to mislead everyone that everything is all fun and rainbows. The last four movies are My Sister’s Keeper, The Shining, Marley and Me, and for the last week, a marathon of the entire Jurassic Park series.
Give me Hufflepuffs, who secretly are very relieved to be the ‘normal’ House. Jocks over there, know-it-alls over there, goth wannabees over there, now let’s go camp out by the kitchens we’re gonna need it to survive the next seven years like this.
Give me Ravenclaws who are so done with the riddles when they stumble back at midnight after having fallen asleep in the Library. “What’s the truth?” “THE TRUTH IS THAT I WILL SET YOU ON FIRE IF YOU DON’T LET ME IN.”
Give me the Trio, who use the Marauder’s Map to find the most ridiculous routes to class, knowing every single one of the shortcuts. It’s not odd for them to simply appear out of the ceiling. One day the new first years try to follow them, to learn the school better, but it doesn’t go so well because then they try to go through a disappearing wall the Trio just did they instead run headfirst into it, and the next time they do behind a tapestry, down a waterside, around some sort of tower, causally past an entire doorless room full of bats, and somehow come out on the complete other side of the castle.
Give me Draco whose just completely had it with Harry’s staring and confronts him, like they always do, and Harry just blurts out that he likes Draco’s new haircut and can he touch his hair, and Draco so shocked he lets him. “Potter stop treating me like a cat I’m evil remember? Bloody hell have you gone daft?!” “But… it’s soft…” “I hate you.” But he just can’t find any anger over this, so there’s like no venom whatsoever in it and Harry can’t stop giggling.
Give me Ginny, who can’t stop giggling as Luna confuses the fuck out of an entire crowd with her way of speaking, and who during Seventh year could 100% get away with insulting the Death Eaters because of the way she said things. Who after Luna used said tactic to get her out of a Crucio punishment just clung to Luna, shaking, and realizing that she loves Luna so much for this very reason. That there will never be another person like Luna in her life, ever.
Give me Harry, who was not really well educated while living at the Dursleys, who couldn’t read very well but was wonderful at sneaking around, little tricks like hiding things, and loved music. He taught himself magic tricks, and MERLIN ALMIGHTY THIS 11-YEAR-OLD KID HAS MASTERED VANISHING SPELLS, WHAT, HOW, and Percy, uptight Prefect he is, just loses it.
Give me Ron walking in on Harry talking to some random snake in their dorm room, laughing like the snake said a particularly good joke, tipping his head and smiling as he responds, the python slowly curling up his arm to rest over his shoulder. Ron freezes, stares, and then slowly backs away, closes the door and stands there staring at it for a full half hour in absolute horror.
Give me the rest of the D.A. walking into the Room of Requirement and hearing screaming, Dean shrieking that he’s going to murder someone, Hermione crying, Justin cursing like a sailor yelling for everyone to stop, and the rest panic and run around the corner and there the four Muggle-raised students are. With some sort of odd device in their hands. Playing Mario Kart.
