Wolfstar's!Child - Mama Raised a Little Bitch

Parents!Sirius Black & Remus Lupin x Teenager!Reader (ft. Jegulily)

Reader's gender and Hogwarts house is unspecified

This is my first work of the series - if you have any suggestions or requests, let me know!

~~~

Fucked was not a strong enough word to describe how totally and utterly screwed you were now.

When you had first gotten your Hogwarts letter, your uncle Regulus had fallen to his knees (metaphorically) to beg you not to be like James, or your papa Sirius. Remus had joined in too, with both of them citing that ‘Sirius and James were bad enough’ as their justification.

With a promise you had intended to adhere to, you departed to Hogwarts. 

In your defence, you believed you would never even come close to breaking it - you had been going strong for four years now, dedicating yourself to academia instead of continuing the Marauders’ legacy, much to the horror of your godfather and papa.

They had made a big deal about ‘disowning you’, opting to name Fred and George Weasley as their heirs, who were more than happy to accept. You believed it to be a joke. For the most part.

However, now there was a blot on your record - a spill of crimson Chardonnet on a white bedsheet if you will.

A blot that came in the form of Hera O’Donnell.

With her snide remarks and condescending attitude, she strutted around Hogwarts like she were the headmaster herself - as a lioness scoured a savanna for a deer to sink its fangs in to, she paroused her peers, searching for the easiest one to prey upon.

You were her chosen doe. 

In her skewed vision, you wore shoes too big for you to fill - the weight of the Lupin-Black left you crushed by expectations and drowning in inadequacy, waves of failure washing over your head and coating the inside of your lungs with a thick layer of incompetence.

But your head remained firmly above water.

Despite her taunts and jibes being fruitless at first, Hera had hunted you down and separated you from your pack, and now, her teeth finally began to pierce your skin.

 Logically, you should have informed someone. You were not alone - your dad and papa were forever on your side, along with your godfather James, godmother Lily, Uncle Regulus and all of your aunts and uncles, composed of your parents’ Hogwarts friends.

But Hera awoke a different part of you. Something more spiteful. Something more primal.

Reporting it would not be as satisfying. As gratifying. But revenge would be.

If anyone asked you about what had happened to Hera O’Donnell, you would simply claim something along the lines of how ‘her appearance had improved with the addition of a skunk tail.’ It amused your peers, undeniably, but the staff not so much.

Even as your head of house sat you down and informed you of the consequences of transfiguring someone like that and the numerous procedures that Hera was undergoing at St. Mongo’s, having been transferred there for more specialist care, you could not find it in yourself to care. 

However, you absolutely did find it in yourself to care when a crimson envelope fell into your bowl of cereal the next morning. 

You had expected your parents to be informed of the incident, naturally. But a howler? That you had not. Staring at the envelope, Hera’s words swarmed your mind. What if your parents now saw you just as Hera had?

With a quiet sigh escaping your lips, and sympathetic glances from your friends, you opened the envelope, hoping to get it over sooner rather than later. The voice of Sirius Black erupted from the envelope, filling the entire Great Hall.

‘MON AMOUR I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! TRANSFIGURING SOMEO- Oi, Rem, get off! I’m jus-’

‘I TOLD YOU OUR KID WOULD BE A FUCKIN’ GOD AT TRANSFIGURATION!’ Came a proud voice of Remus Lupin, cutting your papa off. ‘LOOKS LIKE YOUR PAPA AND GODFATHER NEED TO REINSTATE YOU AS HEIR AFTER ALL, SWEETHEART!’

As Remus declared that, two very loud and audible sighs of disappointment left the lips of Fred and George. The howler continued, and the sound of a door being slammed open was heard before the voice of James Potter joined in the chorus.

‘WERE NONE OF YOU GOING TO TELL ME THAT THEY TRANSFIGURED SOMEONE?!’ James cried out incredulously and overdramatically, however, he quickly forgot his dramatics in favour of the Marauders’ legacy.

‘NOW ALL YOU NEED TO DO, PRIY, IS TO BECOME ANIMAG-’ the sound of skin hitting skin rung out as Lily slapped a hand over James’ mouth to stop him from accidentally revealing that they were illegal animagi, despite the fact that they legally could register, but they all couldn’t be bothered. James and your papa said it was funnier this way.

‘Darling, as impressive as it is, please don’t transfigure anyone else,’ Lily chastised you gently. She had to at least give off the illusion that they were disciplining you, but you could hear the pride underlining her words and the smirk on her lips.

‘Now, I think it’s best we end this now, hm?’ came the still sophisticated voice of your uncle Reg. ‘Unless we want the entire Hogwarts populous to know James’ social security number.’ There was a chuckle from both the howler and the Hogwarts students at that remark.

‘I want you to know that I am proud of you. The family needed something a little more…Slytherin.’ Regulus remarked before the Howler burst into flames and tore itself up.

Silence filled the Great Hall as everyone took a moment to stare at you and process what had just happened. You looked up and your eyes caught Harry’s.

‘Good job,’ he mouthed at you, giving you a bright smile and a thumbs up from the Gryffindor table, beside a very peeved Fred and George.

Maybe you weren’t so alone or fucked after all.

what’s the world building like in your hp fic?

I've been working on the ideas for this pic for so long I'll give ya a little list of specialties for them.

different cultures have different forms of magick

light magick/dark magick holidays and events

dark magick rituals throughout the Black family bloodline

In Spain there's a low population of wixen

wand etiquette is complex enough they sit muggle borns down and explain the basics to them

grimoire's exist in certain cultures (the Potter's have one)

wizards offering philosophy classes

old world wixen languages

the sacred 28 not existing outside of Europe

divination being such a big deal through Spain and France and barely anything in Germany or Italy

every pureblood knowing so many languages

secrets are what build empires

and one of my favorites

everyone outside of the United Kingdom getting letters from multiple schools and they get to pick

[the-booty-crusader]

Is there like, any sort of Harry Potter rewrite? Where someone takes the interesting idea of, you know, a wizarding world existing alongside regular humans with a funny British twist, except that it doesn’t have antisemitic and anti-abolishment (i.e pro-slavery) and stereotype reinforcing content? Where Harry isn’t downright cruel in some parts because the TERF queen doesn’t know how teenage boys think? Where they don’t just take on the Nazi wizards and defeat them, only to continue with a deeply flawed, racist and fascist system where the main character basically ends up a magic cop?

I’d love to read that. If anyone knows of anything like that I’d love to read it.

I think that house-elves could have worked in a way, but the framing and execution made it confusing and off-putting. So I thought of 3 different ways (not all at once, instead just three different routes) that house-elves could have been written that wouldn’t have been as unsettling.

1) Actually depicted the slavery thing as bad.

Hermione was basically made fun of for advocating for house-elves’ freedom, and multiple house-elves (besides Dobby) actually WANTED to stay enslaved. This was pretty icky, and whether or not they are based off of the Transatlantic Slave Trade or not, it had bad historical connotations. Perhaps it should be actually portrayed as bad.

In this version, only rich purebloods tend to have house elves (Hogwarts would simply hire them), and other characters like Ron and Harry would agree with Hermione, she would simply be the most passionate about it.

That’s basically it for that. Just portray it correctly.

2) Connect them to their origin folklore.

House-elves are based off of Brownies, a creature in Scottish folklore, and they are actually pretty interesting. Apparently, Brownies aren’t really slaves, they are just really dedicated to their house. They have a connection to it, and are actually quite picky. They also might change houses if the home owner annoys them. Giving them clothes is basically evicting them.

Maybe just show it like that, but Dobby was cursed in some way, and can’t leave unless he gets kicked out like that. That way, his story line can still work and some characters will make more sense, like the house-elf in the Black’s house. He doesn’t give a crap about the people, he just cares about his house.

Also, get rid of the Hermione thing entirely.

3) House-elves intentionally (and magically) swear loyalty to people

So I made up some of my own lore that would keep most things in the books the same (even the Hermione thing), but make it much less gross whilst explaining certain things. Basically, in my version, house-elves aren’t exactly slaves. Instead, house-elves are simply very loyal, and have an intense desire to help others.

They often need a “master” or leader of some sort, basically a boss. So if they find a family that they deem worthy of their loyalty, they may ask to swear loyalty to said family. The will make some sort of magical oath type thing that will bind them to the family and they will follow that family’s orders. It really is more of a follower type thing then a slave thing, but the house-elves choose to be binded to a family. You know how Dobby was extremely dedicated to protecting Harry and basically wanted to serve him? It’s like that, but also using a spell that declares that house-elf a “servant” of that person or family.

Unfortunately, Dobby choose a bad family by mistake, thinking that they were trustworthy. But they abused that trust and his loyalty. He eventually wanted to leave, but his oath prevents him from doing so. The only way to break the oath is through the clothes thing.

So the theme of that would be more about loyalty and trust, how people can use it against you, and how sometimes doing the right thing can be most important.

Also, get rid of the Hermione thing in this version.

~~~~

So those are potential routes you could take house-elves.

Now, I would say that this is all just small suggestions and I think JKR is still a good writer (other than this and like, a lot of other stuff), but I kinda hate her, so actually this is made of hate and malice.

Anyways, hope you think this is interesting, and I’d love to hear other people’s ideas.

Harry Potter Rewrite

So, this is only in the planning stages right now but I plan on posting the outlines and shit, so I can get some feedback and make sure I don't have to many plotholes or baf characters.

I will be renaming the characters, giving them actual ethnicities and cultures, and giving the female characters time to shine.

The houses will be changed, and I will be completely redoing Hogwarts itself so it makes more sense since magic is all about balance.

I will not be skimping over traumatic things but there will be warnings. Harry's abuse, and trauma will be talked about and shown as realistic as I can possible show it for someone who has not been abused. If I mistakenly show something wrong I ask that you inform me so I can fix it.

The Worldbuilding will aslo be completely upended because everything is in relation to Harry himself which doesn't make any sense.

I hope you all enjoy the outlines, and rants cause they will include why I'm changing it.

Harry Potter Headcanons for Rule of Neutrality

Severus Snape

the hat was torn between Hufflepuff & Slytherin for this man. on one hand, he’s like super loyal (esp. to first friend), but like the overwhelming ambition to leave his past and world behind is what made him a Slytherin

this boy is a heathen with books. any & all books will be subscribed to heavy annotations and use, so much that he needs to purchase his own copies.

he doesn’t like engulfing touches (so like hugs, kisses, anything of sort is a no no), but he doesn’t mind proximity. so like leaning on him? is fine.

we all know he was a genius in both potions and DADA, but herbology?? this man has the greenest thumb anyone’s ever seen. + his knowledge of botany and flower meanings are vast.

he’s fast. like he’s skinny as a mf twig, but somehow, he’s fast at sprints. even Lucia, who works out regularly with fencing and martial arts, loses to him.

his wardrobe consists of school robes. that’s it. he doesn’t like to wear anything else & don’t buy him clothes. he won’t wear it.

he’s so good at mental gymnastics. like something doesn’t make sense? he’ll twist and bend until that concept absolutely does. this is why he’s the only one who can acc study the longest in his friend group.

Lucia Moriarty

a junior in college student in a child’s body

her use of grammar in the english language is atrocious. she mashes 2020s united states language with her very limited knowledge of the UK’s english. it’s not very good.

she absolutely forgoes sciencey classes (potions, astronomy, charms, transfiguration, etc.) & leans into the history and linguistics aspect. she knows about seven languages by the time she’s 14 and adds a few more by 17.

the duality of this person cannot be highlighted. even snape’s mental gymnastics isn’t enough to keep up with her smh. she’ll go from a god-manipulator to a person who’s not getting enough oxygen in her head. her moods are also extremely volatile, going from energetic to quiet although that period varies.

she made the hat cry about her conflicting personality at the ceremony. she uses that to scare the other students.

because she was a nineteen smth y/o in an eleven y/o body, she had 0 fear talking back to the teachers. granted most of them were confusing questions, but still. Flitwick loves her. Slughorn does not.

she bet a match with Francis Phantomhive and lost, and then, subsequently loses continuously, but her skill with a cylindrical weapon is unmatched.

b/c she wrote this AU version of HP, she’s constantly writing every detail down b/c she didn’t really write this part of the era & now, she wants to “try” and save people she can. the Room of Requirement is her HQ for every single plotline (think Anderson from BBC Sherlock).

[sociallyanxiouspotter]

I think I'm going to be changing Hermione a bit in my rewrite

She should have been pointing out more things about wizard society as being wrong

The big hurdles I'm going to face is 1. it's set in the 90s (I was born during the first book) and, perhaps more importantly, 2. it takes place in the UK and there will undoubtedly be some social standards that seem off to me (and thus to my hermione) that would not seem off to historically/culturally accurate hermione

( @123-and-aubergines I'm going to post this here since this is the blog I made for my HP re-write)

Thank you so much for your input omg-

This is honestly an amazing addition to the world building that I'm probably going to add!! I haven't really though of the things you brought up here until now (mostly because I am still rewriting the first book and Astoria doesn't come in till the second) and what you've written here is such a good addition to what I've thought up so far!!

So again thank you for your input, I really appreciate it!

[wildissylupus]

Main Character Changes

First change is that there is no longer just three main characters, but five; Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville and Astoria

Changes to Harry

He is mixed, South Asian-Irish

He is Bisexual

He actively has trauma from, his time with the Dursleys, his time at muggle school, and everything that happens at Hogwarts

Because of the bullying he got in muggle school he has a lot more extreme reactions to students at Hogwarts not liking him on a mass scale, he's fine with individual characters not liking him but if the entire school is against him he will not like it to say the least

I actually establish why the sorting hat was conflicted on where to put him not just say it was conflicted and only focus on Gryffindor and Slytherin. He's still brave and chivalrous but he's also loyal and finds it hard to choose sides when his friends are fighting (Hufflepuff), his sarcasm is his Ravenclaw trait and I plan to show more of Harry's ambition more

He holds a hell of a grudge against people (and it's viewed as an actual character flaw)

It's a lot more obvious that he's an unreliable narrator

Changes to Ron

Ron is trans(ftm) and gay

Like Harry he's stubborn and holds a grudge (again this is a character flaw)

Suffers from a severe inferiority complex (not just random plot point, actual character flaw with arc addressing it)

Because of his big family he finds it harder to make friends outside of his family, making him a little clique-y with the few friends he has outside of his family

I'm going to actually build up to Harry and Ron's falling out in Goblet of Fire instead of it coming out of nowhere (like seriously dude you know the one place Harry would want to be is the spotlight)

The Weasley family as a whole is probably going to be getting more exploration.

I honestly want to explore Ron's interests more because other than being interested in a couple games and being the jokester of the original trio there isn't much there.

I want Ron to seem more like a separate character to Harry, with separate interests, an example of what I have planned is that he actually doesn't want to be in a quidditch team, he just likes watching it and playing casually with his friends and family

Changes to Hermione

She is a black, Jewish and Demi-Sexual

She was sorted into Ravenclaw because one, I wanted Harry to have friends from every house, two, the way Harry, Ron and Hermione become friends doesn't have anything to do with they're house, and three, Hermione being in Ravenclaw would give a good excuse to explore the Ravenclaw common room

She is still the smartest wizard of her generation but she does still struggle in some subjects; Defence Against the Dark Arts, Divination, Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology (she struggles in these subjects because most of them she can't figure out just through theory, essentially for these subjects she's good at the theory but bad at the practical)

Hermione and Neville become friends before she befriends Ron and Harry, Neville also sides with Hermione whenever she gets into a fight with Harry or Ron

I enhanced her stead fast views and more questionable nature, aka she's the one of the group to actually question Dumbledore's competence

Like Harry she was also bullied in the muggle world but whereas Harry's bullying was more physical, Hermione's had more to do with exclusion

She isn't whiny (cause she is described like that in the books) but she does have a hard time accepting people who have a different view points then her, often getting her into fights with other classmates and some teachers (not just people in Slytherin)

Changes to Neville

Honestly nothing has changed about Neville other than his importance to the story

He was sorted into Hufflepuff, same reasoning as Hermione

Draco actually doesn't target him unless he's with the others, Crabbe and Goyle are the ones who target him

I go into both his family life (cause that boy was also being abused, he was angled out a window for Merlin's sake) and the fact that he could have just as easily have been in Harry's position

More moment of him talking about his parents, the group also go with Neville to visit his parents (mostly Hermione)

Out of the entire group he is the least likely one to hold a grudge, though that does make him a bit of a doormat (at least in the first few books)

The group usually study in the Hufflepuff common room cause it's quiet and it's the easiest to get to from the Great Hall

Changes to Astoria

Astoria is Bi, she was sorted into Slytherin

She is introduced in Chamber of Secrets and she befriends Harry first, then Neville, Ron and Hermione take some time to actually accept her as part of the group

She is the sportiest of the group (I add more sports then just Quidditch), she also has a constant tan because of this

She and Draco knew each other when they were younger because he and her sister Daphne were betrothed but after the reveal of her blood curse the arrangement was called off, Astoria and Draco were forbidden from seeing each other again

She still comes from a blood-purist family but she abandoned those views from an early age. She became the black-sheep of the family, this was only increased by the diagnosis of her blood-curse

I will explain blood-curses in a different post but Astoria's blood curse directly effects her ability to cast magic, leading her to need specific charms and potions to medicate so she can cast magic normally

Blood curses are more likely found in pure-blood families, despite this those with blood-curses are seen as "tainted" by pure-blood society

The reason Astoria is so invested in sports is because it one of the only things she can do without having to worry about her curse

The world was suddenly bright. Fanfare was in the air as both boys laid on the ground, looking up to stare at each other in amazement.

“We did it.” Cedric beamed. “Harry we did it! We bloody did it!” He ripped the invisibility cloak off of them, making it seem as if they had just appeared.

The crowd went crazy, especially those from Hogwarts, seeing both of their champions holding the cup.

Harry could hardly breathe. Everything was far too loud and bright.

Cedric grinned as he moved to kneel by Harry. “We attacked real bloody Death Eaters, Harry! And we won!” He gave the other a firm pat on the back. “I’ll fight with you, always.”

He felt choked and didn’t remember much else from that night. All he could think about was killing the Basilisk. A thinking, living, conscious creature. And now he was hurting people. He wondered how far he would go.
