Troubled Souls

HPHM fic/inktober day: 2. Ambition

Words: 320

Summary: A little explanation as to why Sam is so determined to become a healer.

Again, I’ve had this written for a little while so I went by the prompt list that you can find here from @hphminktober-2019 but @hphm-fictober also has some cool prompts and many more cool fics.

“Jacob? Hey Jacob… I made a cake. Do you want a piece?”

Sam leans his ear against the door to listen for Jacob’s reply. He hears sniffling and cursing. “Go away, Sammy. Not right now.”

Sam frowns. He cracks the door open slightly, silently. Jacob is hunched over the sink.

“Shit…”

Concern takes over and Sam opens the door all the way, running over to his brother. “Jacob, are you-“

“Get out! Now!”

Sam stops but doesn’t move to leave. “Are you hurt? Wh-… can I help?”

“No- Just… Get out!”

Sam flinches at J raising his voice. “But-“

“Now!”

He shrinks in on himself and nods. “Okay…” With that, he leaves, closing the door behind himself.

He could feel tears prickling in his eyes. What was going on? Is J okay? Why can’t he help?

Sam sits and waits for Jacob at the dining room table. He stares at the lumpy strawberry cake (which is still a feat for a seven-year-old without supervision) in front of him and frowns. He stays there until J comes out of the bathroom and sits at the table across from Sa. They sit in silence for a few minutes. Sam knows not to push Jacob for answers. Finally, J sighs.

“I’m fine Sam. I just… nicked myself on something. It’s not a big deal.”

Sam frowns but doesn’t press. Only, “Well then… I’ll just become a healer when I go to Hogwarts like you. So then, when you get hurt, I’ll be able to fix it for you.”

Jacob stares at him with a strange expression before taking a deep breath in and looking at the cake. “Looks good Sammy…What do you say about cutting into it?”

Sam smiles brightly and shoots up to get the plates and utensils.

 Years later, after Jacob has long forgotten their conversation that day, Sam asks Madam Pomfrey to help him study to become a healer.

These are all the sketches I was able to draw during quarantine: they aren't that much and drawing them was incredibly difficult because I felt like I didn't know how to draw anymore... 😱😱😱

Once again tagging @spaceace-alyx because I love JJ and drawing her makes me incredibly happy 😔❤

Here it is, the Miraculous Ladybug AU for Laurent King and @samsamfromechedel // @booksviolinsandembroidery‘s MC, Samuel Gabehart !

To those not familiar with the show, I strongly advise you to watch it ! It’s an amazing, light-hearted show that is ideal to watch during a gloomy rainy day.

To those watching the show... here it is, and I dearly hope you will enjoy !

Samuel Gabehart is a young student in Paris, who seems like the perfect average guy at first glance. Well, he might be, if you ignore the fact that he’s a Miraculous holder

The Miraculous of the Ladybug, which holds the immense power of creation, given to him due to his helpfulness and strong sense of justice

Diego Caplan is a known model, and classmate to Samuel. The latter harbours a strong crush on him, to the point that as soon as he sees him he becomes a blushing, stuttering mess. He’s kind, helpful, charming and humorous.

And he holds, unbeknownst to Samuel, the Black Cat Miraculous, associated with the power of destruction.

Ladybug and Chat Noir are a known duo of superheroes, and are, in fact, our dear Samuel and Diego ! Neither of them knows each other’s identities, however, and Diego ends up crushing hard on Ladybug... who is, in fact, Samuel.

Their sworn enemy is known as Hawkmoth, an evil Miraculous holder who can create Akumas, small butterflies meant to target upset people and akumatize them, hence turning them into supervillains.

Which, obviously, Ladybug and Chat Noir need to fight.

In the midst of their war against Hawkmoth, Diego Caplan and Samuel Gabehart must also deal with their personal lives.

Diego, the popular model with an emotionally distant father, and Samuel, a young boy who just wishes to be normal around his crush and not worry about his double life for once.

Samuel has a tight circle of friends, his best friend being Laurent Dorian King.

Laurent’s father is a renowned swimmer now retreating, and his entire legacy rests on Lau’s shoulders. As a result, he trains relentlessly, alongside with his classmate Barnaby Lee.

Barnaby Lee, who has a crush on Lau... and who is eventually offered the Monkey Miraculous by Ladybug.

Barnaby adapts quickly to his new superhero self, Roi Singe. He often ends up lending a hand to Ladybug and Chat Noir during their fights against akumatized civilians...

... and he ultimately uses his hero-self in order to talk to his longtime crush, Laurent King.

He knows he shouldn’t talk to Lau as Roi Singe, that he should try and flirt with him by being himself, but... he’s scared. Terrified, even.

And Lau starts to like the superhero... who is, in fact, Barnaby.

And now, how will all of this turn out ? That’s what’s fun with AUs: it’s time to explore all of this !

OC Interview: Evie Salazar

tagged by @butterbeerkid and @phyl-the-gryffinclaw

(set in Year 4)

-

name ➔ “... Evie Salazar.” There’s a pause at the beginning, as if she had debated even replying.

are you single ➔ Evie wrinkles her nose, looking affronted. “That’s a bit personal, and right off the bat. Er, well, I guess I did agree to answer your questions… so no. The answer to that is no.”

are you happy ➔ There’s a moment of silence where Evie just stares, eyebrows brought together in contemplation. The silence stretches, and it becomes clear she has decided not to answer.

are you angry ➔ More silence. Evie finally offers an answer, in the form of a scoff, dismissive and annoyed.

are your parents still married ➔ She frowns. “These are… awfully personal questions. I guess they still are, at least, last I knew.”

-

NINE FACTS

birthplace ➔ “Just outside of Oxford. The countryside is nice and all, but I’ve always wondered how it would be to have been born and raised in the city…"

hair color ➔ Her hand darts to her hair in reaction. “White. It’s really unusual, I’ve never seen anyone else with hair like mine. I suppose there’s Samuel Gabehart, but from what I’ve gathered, his hair wasn’t white from the start.” Evie ponders this, idly rubbing a strand of hair between her thumb and index finger. “Well, guess it doesn’t matter. It’s white, is all.”

eye color ➔ “...yellow.” She doesn’t elaborate any more than that, averting her eyes suddenly.

birthday ➔ “August 3rd. I was born ten years after my brother.”

mood ➔ Evie looks up. “It’ll improve after I’m through with this interview,” she says sardonically. 

gender ➔ “I’m a girl.”

summer or winter ➔ “That’s hardly tough; I prefer winter of course. I don’t do well in the heat, it’s bothersome and suffocating. Besides, I like winter best because I can stay inside more, and Rowan is always here, before she leaves for home during the Christmas break anyway. So I get to spend more time with her.” At this, Evie cracks a grin.

morning or afternoon ➔ “Afternoon.” She then chuckles a bit. “Not like Rowan. Rowan’s a morning person, so she was always bugging me to wake up earlier, but now she just leaves me be and reads until I wake up."

-

EIGHT THINGS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE

are you in love ➔ “Er. Yes.” Evie suddenly looks partly embarrassed, and partly ready to bolt out of the room.

do you believe in love at first sight ➔ “Not really. I don’t think it’s possible to love someone right away. I imagine it takes time.” A few years, perhaps, Evie thinks to herself, thinking of a certain violet-eyed Slytherin.

who ended your last relationship ➔ “No one. That is to say, I didn’t have a previous relationship.”

have you ever broken someone’s heart ➔ “That’s a silly question. I guess not. Hope not.”

are you afraid of commitments ➔ “No. But I do consider them carefully.”

have you hugged someone within the last week? ➔ “No, I’m not a hugger. Well, I did hug Merula earlier this week... but that was only because I tripped and fell straight into her arms. Actually, no, nevermind, that's not really a hug -" Evie flushes, then shakes her head "anyway! I’ve spent most of the week studying, so I haven't had time to really hang out with anyone, much less hug someone that wasn't accidental. I was studying before this too, before I was interrupted.” Evie says this very pointedly suddenly, a levelled glare on her features.

have you ever had a secret admirer ➔ Evie laughs. “Ha! That’s barmy, as if!”

have you ever broken your own heart? ➔ “What in the world is that supposed to mean?”

-

SIX CHOICES

love or lust ➔ “That’s a ridiculous question,” Evie scoffs, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms. She looks just about done with talking, but she heaves a sigh. “Love, obviously.”

lemonade or iced tea ➔ “Lemonade, I suppose?”

cats or dogs ➔ “I’m partial to dogs. My uncle Alder had one,” she perks up, eyes brightening, “she was loads of fun to play with the few times he visited and brought her along.”

a few best friends or many regular friends ➔ “A few best friends,” Evie says easily, waving a hand dismissively. “What’s the point in having so many people around you that you can’t really trust?”

wild night out or romantic night in ➔ “Oh, for Merlin’s sake…” Evie grumbles, exasperated, tapping a finger on her arm, her crossed arms tightening in frustration, but she had a slight tinge of red across her cheeks. “Romantic night in, if you must know.”

day or night ➔ “Night. I like finishing up my work then, or just picking up from where I last left off in one of my books. It’s not like I sleep much at night anyway, so I like using my time productively, and... it’s much quieter at night.”

-

FIVE HAVE YOU EVERS

been caught sneaking out ➔ Evie grimaces. “Almost, a few times. Loads of close calls, but I’ve avoided being caught for now.”

fallen down/up the stairs ➔ “No, never.”

wanted something/someone so badly it hurt? ➔ “Something?” Evie looks down at the hand resting on her arm, then down at the stone floor, her tapping stilling. She seems to be mulling something over in her head, eyebrows furrowed in contemplation, until she glances up and schools her expression into something more neutral. “I don’t think that’s any of your business.”

wanted to disappear ➔ “Oh, how did you know,” Evie says, “that I wanted to disappear right now? So I can escape these ridiculous questions. Are you quite done yet?”

-

FOUR PREFERENCES

smile or eyes ➔ “Guess that’s a no, then. Well, alright.” Evie adjusts her seating position, uncrossing her arms as she fixes her robes. “Eyes. Smiles can be faked.”

shorter or taller ➔ “Taller, I suppose?” Evie frowns. “Never thought about it, to be honest.”

intelligence or attraction ➔ “Intelligence, if I really must pick.” 

hook-up or relationship ➔ “Oh, bloody -” Evie curses under her breath. “What kind of question is that? Relationship, obviously.”

-

FAMILY

do you and your family get along ➔ Evie stiffens. “...I get along with my uncle Alder and his boyfriend, Klaus. They're always very kind to me, Uncle Alder's always sending me letters and Klaus sometimes attaches chocolates and book recommendations… and Jacob was so easy to get along with too, I mean, back then, we would listen to music together, play outside and tease each other. We'd read loads too! He's the one who encouraged my interest in books. That was then though, now I don't… I don't know -” she snaps her mouth shut, then glares at the floor. “Nevermind. Next question,” she says in a clipped tone.

would you say you have a “messed up life” ➔ “Oh, joy,” Evie says dryly, “another wonderful question. Next.”

have you ever ran away from home ➔ “No.”

have you ever gotten kicked out ➔ “No.”

-

FRIENDS

do you secretly hate one of your friends ➔ “What? Of course not.” Evie leans back, incredulous, taken aback by the inquiry. “However, I did… dislike Penny during my first year, I hated how she seemed to know everything about me, and I hated the fact she gave no reason for me to hate her. I guess I was being too harsh… she is a very worthy Potions rival, she's incredibly good… but she's too much of a social butterfly, and she's seemingly flawless, although I doubt she's entirely perfect. Again,” Evie muses, “smiles can be faked. Speaking of smiles, I also didn't quite like Alex Vega much at first. She's much too excitable and bubbly for my taste, always grinning and cheerful. She's also bloody stubborn and a bit… er, reckless,  although her talent in Charms was impressive, and her determination is admirable. Oh, and I wasn’t very fond of Robin either. He's always lazing about, never taking sides. He’s only ever passionate about the things he cares about, and leaves the rest for others to deal with, and he’s brilliant, I can always count on him - but he’s incredibly unorthodox and never applies himself.” She scowls faintly at this, before blinking and quickly adding, “I don’t dislike them anymore, though! They’re good friends.”

do you consider all of your friends good friends ➔ “‘Course I do. They’re brilliant. I’d do just about anything for them.”

who is your best friend ➔ “As if you have to ask,” Evie snorts, raising an eyebrow. “Rowan, of course. She's always been there for me, I couldn't ask for a better friend. Robin, too. And… Samuel Gabehart, he's an exemplary Potions and conversation partner, and Alex Vega is a good support, very reliable and bright.”

who knows everything about you ➔ Evie is silent for a beat. Then: “I guess my brother, back then … Anyway, that’s enough questions. I’m just about fed up with all of this, so, I’m taking my leave. ” She gets up, patting her robes down, and turning on her heel. “Please don’t bother interviewing me again, and goodbye!”

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

Ollie is the second child of the two heroes of the Wizarding World, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. Due to his family background, Ollie and his siblings were thrown under media spotlight since young. Jacob being the first child of a then newly-bonded Veela!Draco and Harry, inherited both his parents’ magical abilities, making him the strongest wizard of the century. Ollie, like his sister, were just a normal kids and couldn’t hold a candle to their older brother’s abilities. Ollie does not resent his brother for being stronger at all and he loves Jacob very much. When Jacob disappeared without a trace to seek the cursed vaults, it left Ollie feeling hurt, confused and betrayed. The constant comparison and talk of his brother made Ollie extremely frustrated.

PERSONALITY

Ollie is a soft-spoken and quiet boy. He doesn’t like making the first moves and is cautious on who approaches him because he doesn’t know if they’re just getting close to him because of his parents. He’s gentle and empathetic, quick to apologize if he’s in the wrong and always the first to mediate if things go sour. He’s very lazy when it comes to classes and he always copies homework off his friends. However when exams come, he actually studies with Talbott to pull off passable grades. Ollie is very sensitive and his biggest insecurity is being compared to his brother. He loves too much and too easily and that will one day stab him in the back.

MISC

Ollie's Veela powers fully activate in Year 5, after he's bonded with Talbott. Ollie's Veela allure works on all genders. When using his allure, he is able to charm whoever he wants into doing his bidding.

Ollie plays the guitar and is a good singer. During some evenings, he would head down to the courtyard to serenade some muggle songs. He has quite the fanclub!

4, 9 and 22 for the MC and Jacob asks! 💚

4. Is Jacob physically and/or mentally different after he is released from the vaults? How does he change?

Answered!

9. Would MC/Jacob fight at the battle of Hogwarts or go into hiding/avoid the conflict? Would they survive?

Jacob doesn’t survive long enough to see the battle of Hogwarts but Sam is definitely there healing people when he can and trying his best to be helpful in fending off the Death Eaters. Sam survives.

22. Does MC trust Dumbledore?

Yes, actually. He trusts a lot of people and does so easily, something that Rakepick took full advantage of.

#sorry that these are short #hphm mc #hphm #hphm jacob #tw: suicide mention #Samuel Gabehart #Jacob Gabehart

[booksviolinsandembroidery-moved]

Okay let me properly introduce Sam’s family members (with picrews):

Jacob (J) Gabehart:

I’ve mentioned how much on an asshole J is through memes and brief explanations. He doesn’t care about Sam in the slightest and would 100% sell him to Satan for a corn chip. He’s also clingy like Sam but knows no boundaries and will take it too far some times, but god forbid Sam touch him.

Elio Angelo Gabehart:

Elio looks a lot like J and it leads to some confusion. He’s much nicer and loves all of his family very much. He’s a Gryffindor Prefect and will adopt any kid that needs an older brother figure.

And last but not least...

Antonia (Toni) Viviana Gabehart:

She’s a very chaotic person and looooves to pull pranks on her roommate Angelica Cole. I don’t suggest you mess with her family or piss her off another way. It won’t end well.

#they all have floofy hair like Sam #jacob gabehart #elio gabehart #antonia gabehart #J had a bandage over his nose bc someone (*cough* Neon Welkin) got annoyed with him and broke his nose #he probably tried to wake her up from a daytime nap #bad idea #he’s also probably tried to pet Salem #another bad idea #dont touch the Satan cat

[booksviolinsandembroidery-moved]

23 24 25 !

23. A headcanon about your MC?

Sam loves to help out in the Hospital Wing and the Kitchens (even after being done with his detention). He likes cooking and Pitts was really nice to him, so even if he’s not there to do work, he’ll stop by to say hello to all the house elves.

24. A headcanon about your Jacob?

Jacob isn’t the most loving brother but he tries. He’s got his own issues and Sam is so much younger than him (10+ years maybe??), he feels a disconnect and doesn’t really know what to do with him.

25. A song for your MC and Jacob?

Hm... idk maybe Every Breath You Take by The Police. Sam’s desperate to find Jacob and thinks about him a lot.

#hphm #jacob’s sibling #Sam Gabehart #Jacob Gabehart #I listen to a lot of music #you’d think I’d be able to find a better song #¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #thank you for the ask btw ☺️

[booksviolinsandembroidery-moved]

YES OKAY HERE WE GO

Sam peeks his head in the doorway and flits his eyes around the room. “Expelliarmus!” Shortly after that, the thud of someone hitting the floor sounds and Sam hears the groan of pain from where he is. That person will likely have some minor bruising.

“Sammy!” At the sound of the nickname, his gut starts twisting itself in knots.

“You made it just in time, my friend. Come in, come!” Diego is an excellent dueller, but he doesn’t need the jelly legs curse to make Sam’s knees weak. Diego opens the door wider and Sam averts his eyes as he walks in. He felt so small in this room with so many people and Diego smiling right at him. 

“Ah, Mr. Gabehart. Has Mr. Caplan finally convinced you to join the dueling club?” Sam could feel the heat burning the tips of his ears. “Um... I suppose?”

Professor Flitwick gave him a knowing smile. “Marvelous. I look forward to seeing you here more often.” A shy smile takes over his face and Sam nods slightly. The small professor takes that as his cue to leave and help other students.

“I don’t suppose you warmed up? Not that you need to, really, looking the way that you do.”

Sam’s brain comes to a screeching halt. What? Before realizing it, a few goofy laughs escape his mouth. He slaps his hand over his mouth in horror and looks nervously to the other. ‘Merlin, his smile... It’s dazzling...Wait, shit, did he ask me a question?’

Sam tries to fumble for an answer before Diego decides to show him some mercy and laugh it off. “I will take that as a no. Let us start with this...”

~~~

“Why don’t you show me your Flipendo? On that training dummy there.”

Sam takes a breath before going to the spell at the dummy. The first syllable is already on his lips when he feels warm hands on his hip and wand arm. He can feel the brunette’s breath against his ear and that alone is enough to send a shiver down his spine. “Bend your knees a little more and move your arm... here.” The sentence almost sounds garbled in Sam’s hazy mind, though somewhere in the fuzziness, his brain provides him with the information that Diego lowered his voice and pitch, and he lets Diego gently manipulate his posture. His touch leaves a trail of goosebumps on Sam’s skin.

“Perfect. I expect nothing less from the famous Hogwarts curse-breaker. Now cast it.” The command snaps Sam out of his daze and he blinks. His eyebrows pinch together as he mutters the incantation softly but firmly, “Flipendo.” The mannequin rocks back violently when the spell hits it and a self-satisfied grin plasters itself on Sam’s face.

He turns to look at Diego, full of excitement, and when he sees the proud look on the dueller’s face, all he can do is blush and look away abashed. “Like that?” he asks timidly.

 “Phenomenal,” Diego states confidently, smiling playfully at Sam. “And I don’t just mean your execution of the spell.” That surprises a giggle out of Sam. 

“You’re better...” 

Diego’s eyebrows shoot up and Sam realizes with terror that he had said that aloud.

“Don’t sell yourself short Sam. After all, you did defeat me. And a troll...”

He snorts. “With your help.”

In a heartbeat, Diego is in his space again with a hand cupping his cheek. “You are a magnificent wizard Samuel. You are incredibly intelligent and kindhearted and I am lucky to be able to call myself your friend.”

Sam doesn’t mean to but he reaches into Diego’s mind with legilimency to check the sincerity of his words. He’s blind sighted by the rush of information but somewhere in the stream, he catches a glimpse of what Diego is remembering. It’s their battle with the troll. It’s almost like it's in slow motion and it’s glorious. Sam sees himself the way Diego sees him. He looks regal as he volleys hexes toward the beast. He feels the admiration Diego had for him when the first question out of his mouth was “Are you hurt?” and “Is anyone else?”. 

It’s... eye-opening.

“Ooh Diego, are you gonna smooch the curse-breaker?” Laughter erupts in the room and Sam hurriedly cuts the connection.

“I gotta go...” is what comes out of his own mouth, barely above a whisper, and Sam bolts out of the room, pointedly ignoring the way Diego desperately calls after him. He quickly transforms into his animagus form as soon as he’s past the door and flies as fast as his small wings can take him to the Ravenclaw Tower where he can hide until dinner.
