an impossible muse (i do not see)

Theme: You were once worshipped as a god. Now you hide in the ruins of your own temple.

To make a long story short, he’s drawn a lot of people throughout his eight years at Hogwarts. Many, he has drawn multiple times. Be it because their most remarkable feature changes with growth, to see his own skills’ evolution, or just because he got it wrong the first time. But, there’s no one he’s drawn quite as often as Harry Potter.

The creature outside my window that has been building a nest all week finally had a baby!

despite the similar coloration, this isn’t a juvenile of the same species. the mature form of a vibrating plate compactor looks like this:

It's adopted!

Sorry to talk about Harry Potter again but when it comes to the slave race that Rowling put in her books, she said she based the house elves off of brownies. You know, those creatures in British folklore that clean your house for you because they like doing it and are offended if you try to pay them?

Why not just put brownies in your story then? Almost identical effect without all the slavery.

If you wanna make the Malfoys look worse just idk maybe they put a spell on Dobby to bind him to their house and he can’t leave unless the malfoys break the rules and they’re bad to him but don’t technically try to break the rules until Harry tricks them into paying dobby with some clothes.

There. Problem solved. You can have hundreds of brownies living at hogwarts even. And when Hermione misinterprets their situation and tries to thank them and start paying them the brownies start getting offended and leaving and this causes an actual problem for the school. Much easier to make a subplot about not listening to the people that you’re trying to help.

Just another way you realize as an adult that these books weren’t really thought through very well.

One of the things I regret in the unveiling is that Harry's magic dreams mean Cedric's death just kind of falls to the wayside. I thought about that on and off these past few months and I've realised that I have an opportunity to bring him back to the forefront by making him matter to Theo too.

I won't go deeply into it but I think I don't want to go the usual route for the Slytherins' interpersonal relationships. That means (gasp) no Blaise, no Daphne, no Pansy or Millient, or at least not to the extent where Theo confided in them.

And that means Cedric was something to him before he died.

(Harry's guilt complex is gonna love that.)

Here's a little spoilery cryptic quote to go with my rambling:

"Poor, naïve Cedric, so eager to please his father he staked his life on it. He never stood a chance.

Theo mourned him before he even laid eyes on his corpse."

When Harry’s 5th year begins on the wrong foot, he seeks the kind of quiet that only a Library can provide. He does not expect to meet another student there and he certainly does not expect to be seen. He’s never before had a reason to interact with Theo Nott, despite being in the same class, but this year, he’s finally taking notice and the tall Slytherin is nothing like what Harry expected.

He looked utterly at ease in this secluded corner of the library, his robe also discarded and draped across a nearby end table. He had a book propped on his knee, one elegant hand keeping it there while the other hand toyed with a lock of his hair against his shoulder. And oh, the light was good at this hour. Interesting.
