Phoenix

M.O.M. Classification: XXXX-11

The phoenix is a magnificent, swan-sized, scarlet bird with a long golden tail, beak, and talons. It nests on mountain peaks and is found in Egypt, India, and China.

The phoenix lives to an immense age as it can regenerate, bursting into flames when its body begins to fail and rising again from the ashes as a chick. The phoenix is a gentle creature that has never been known to kill and eats only herbs. Like the Diricawl (see page 9), it can disappear and reappear at will.

Phoenix song is magical; it is reputed to increase the courage of the pure of heart and to strike fear into the hearts of the impure. Phoenix tears have powerful healing properties.

Divine Me A Lover - Part 1

[ooc: Trelawney played by the lovely @els-imaginings​!]

It is September 19th. The Ravenclaw and Slytherin fifth years’ Divination lesson has begun in the stuffy Divination tower, but one student stalks in noticeably 10 minutes after the bell.

Professor: You’re late… again.

Professor: As I was saying before Ms Black joined us, today we will be learning the art of tarot.  Now in your assigned pairs I want you to interpret each others’ cards.

He wakes with a sob, as if from some horrific dream. But he doesn’t recognize himself. These hands are not his hands, this face is not his face, and the panic begins to swell in him. Desperate he grasps at the last shreds of his lost personhood. 

The loving feel of maternal arms wrapped in a tight embrace, the shared laughter on the faces of friends closer than brothers, a secret smile and a sigh and the graze of soft, pink lips. Are these memories? The images sear into his skin like the tip of a hot knife, but the pain is so acute he can’t make out the details.

“ I am still human, I am still human,” he breathes into the darkness. And as he lies in the fugue of his own existence, he hears a bitter whisper.

Is this real or is this the dream?

(OOC: A bit nervous to post this since it’s been so long, but I took these pictures of Remus before lockdown and was just too overwhelmed to do much with them at the time. 

I based the photos on THIS amazing artwork from @atalienart​. I fell in love with it the first time I saw and wanted to replicate it. I didn’t quite pin down the exact pose and emotions, but it is what it is! Feedback is much loved and appreciated!)

Do you have any headcannons of Sirius taking care of Regulus when they were little. Like paying attention to Regs needs with the help of Kreacher or Sirius taking Regulus's punishments. Or maybe vice versa

At first Sirius didn’t quite understand what Regulus even was. 

 Sirius was just barely two years old and quite used to being the only child in the house and suddenly one day there was this other little thing present. He didn’t see what the fuss was about, he was simply told that the squirming, drooling, loud blob was his “brother” and he was to be called ‘Regulus’. 

 Only he wasn’t really sure what he was supposed to do with a brother. He tried poking it, but that only made the it cry which made his mum shout at Sirius before ordering Kreacher to bring him to his room and punish him. He tried to talk to his Brother, but it didn’t talk back, it only stared at him with large gray eyes and occasionally passed gas…That was the other thing, Brother smelled pretty bad most of the time.

 It took Sirius almost an entire year to stop referring to the baby as simply “My Brother” ( “My Brother is crying.” “I think My Brother doesn’t want his snack. Could I have it?” “You shouldn’t shout at me, mummy! My Brother is asleep! You’ll wake him!”) and he finally started to call him “Reggie” around the baby’s first birthday when he took a chunk of chocolate cake in his pudgy little hand and smushed it into their cousin Bellatrix’s hair when she wasn’t looking. Sirius had thought it was very funny until Bella went running to his mother and Auntie Druella in tears. His mother stormed over, looking at the mess all over the giggling baby with the scowl on her face that Sirius recognized would mean punishment. 

 “Reggie didn’t do it, mummy!” Sirius insisted, pulling on the sleeve of his mother’s robe. “I did!” 

Of course, it was the baby -not Sirius - who was covered in chocolate cake. However, Sirius was punished for lying. 

That didn’t stop Sirius from doing it all the time as they grew up. Sirius was the trouble maker and always being scolded, shouted at and punished. He was also very protective of his brother and he would take double the punishment if it meant sparing the younger boy of the same fate. 

Grimmuald Place wasn’t exactly child friendly. Dark, ancient magic hung heavily in the air and the eyes of the portraits and disembodied house elf heads seemed to follow you around wherever you went. Sirius was brave, he had told himself over and over as he avoided making eye contact with the bulging, lifeless eyes, and it didn’t bother him. Regulus was not as brave and he would have nightmares. He would wait until Mummy and Daddy were asleep, tip toe from his bedroom and down the hall and carefully slip into Sirius’ room.

“Siri?” He’d tug at the blanket that covered his brother. “Are you awake?” 

 Sirius’ eyes wouldn’t open, but he’d grumble in his sleep and pull the blanket back for his brother to climb in. 

“s’only a dream, Reggie.” He’d say, stifling a yawn and throwing an arm over the smaller boy. “s’alright.” 

 “But how d’you know?” Regulus would ask. They both knew there were bad things hidden in the house. Their father kept very bad things in his office. How did Sirius know it would be alright? 

“I’m your brother, stupid.” Sirius muttered, but Regulus could tell he was smiling. “I’ll protect you.”

“Thanks, Siri.” 

 “It’s you and me, Reg. I’ll always protect you.” 

But Sirius was reckless. He got himself into trouble and from what Regulus could see, it was like he did it on purpose. Regulus didn’t understand why Sirius had to always have things his way and Sirius didn’t understand how Regulus could conform to what other people wanted him to be instead of being true to himself. When Sirius ran away to the Potters he asked Regulus to come with him. 

“It’s supposed to be me and you, Reggie! Together! I can’t protect you if you don’t come with me!” 

 “I can’t leave, Sirius!” 

“And I can’t stay!” 

So Sirius left. James was his brother from then on. They didn’t speak to each other when they passed in the halls at school. They didn’t even look at each other. 

When Sirius heard that Regulus had died it broke his heart. He was supposed to protect his brother, but he couldn’t save someone who didn’t want to be saved.

Muslim!Lily (and James) Headcanons

When she was sorting, everyone stared weirdly at her headscarf

At her sorting, a boy said something rude to her, she punched him right in the nose

Some students called McGonagall and she gave the boy a detention

Lily and James had suhoor (the meal eaten before starting fasting in Ramadan) together

There were other other students too but for absolutely no reason (!) they chose to have it face to face

She argued with Snape a multiple times because of course Snape's friends weren't really accepting towards Lily's religion

When people said stupid things about James' color and religion, Lily hexed them and made them say "I'm sorry"

Vice versa

Lily usually did wudu in the Prefects' Bathroom because no one disturbed her there

One of the reasons Marauders created the Marauder's Map was looking for a peaceful place for James to do this daily prayings (five times a day so it's really important)

Lily showed them the Room of Requirement because she was already using that room

She applied mehendi multiple of times during school and everyone thought it was so cool

Sirius wanted to get a tattoo for the first time after saw her mehendi

"IT'S SO COOL LILY! CAN I GET ONE TOO?"

She drew the moon and stars on his arms with mehendi

Sirius asked her to drew lilies too because he loved her so much, like a sister

Feel free to add more I can't think of anything else right now

Today! I am again annoyed by white cosplayers who say they support cosplayers of color, but then do not share their work, do not hype them up, do not treat them as equal to their cosplays/white cosplays. 

Check your reblogs, loves. If you’re reblogging cosplay content, and all/most of it is white, take the opportunity to diversify your dashboard and media.

Fleamont: Come here, son.

Sirius: James is in his room.

Fleamont: I meant you.

Sirius, voice cracking: Oh. Okay.

We got into a debate in class the other day about Harry and Ginny as an endgame ship (long story, art school is weird) and my teacher made a super good point saying something like

“He didn’t just marry Ginny; he married into the Weasley family. They’ve been his real family for so long that it’s a natural conclusion to his arc.”

Which, like, FUCK, but also conjures the frankly breathtaking mental image of Harry proposing the idea one night at dinner and the ensuing fistfight over which one of the Weasley kids gets to marry him.

Harry: haha so I was thinking about how weird marriage is earlier?? Like, if I married one of you I’d legally be part of the Weasley family by law???? How strange is that???

George, already conjuring a ring: Well all you had to do was ask, Harry

Percy, fighting in the only way he knows how: I can get us the best tax benefits

Charlie, also fighting in the only way he knows how but completely certain he’s going to win: 

Ron: nO ONE IS MARRYING MY BEST MATE

Ginny, already rolling up her sleeves: I’ll fight you for him Ronald

Nymphadora Tonks is Online!

Professor McGonagall: Class, this is Auror Nymphadora Tonks, a former student of mine. She is here to take all seventh years who might be considering a profession in that field and answer any of your questions!

Professor McGonagall: I see not much has changed Auror Tonks. 

Professor McGonagall: Any questions?

Gryffindor student: *raises her hand*

Gryffindor: Uh, Auror Tonks? Do aurors ever retire? 

Probably not the best way to bring in recruits…

Send Nymphadora Tonks an ask!
