Give me muggleborn students trolling eachother via howlers and voice changers but they accidentally use muggle jokes that the pureblood kids don’t understand (think Nigerian Prince scams) so it spirals out of control.

“I didn’t know your family had ties to nobility? Why didn’t you mention it?”

“Pardon?”

“You’re familiar with African nobility? Enough that they send you howlers? And you didn’t care to mention that?”

“Oh… oh yeah that’s… my bad?”

Queue every muggle raised child realizing this opportunity and making eyes that scream “do NOT fuck this up for all of us” at each other before the gossip network does its work.

Anyways I just wanna see Goncharov level of unity because they absolutely would stick to the bit if someone fell for it.

Professor Snape would die over this silently, while all the pureblood teachers are like “???? Are you well, Severus?”

Dumbledore:Severus,I need you for the muggle studies trip on friday. Nobody but you and Charity knows how to drive a car. That is final.

Snape:Fine!But believe me, I will ruin this for everyone else! *storms out

McGonagall: Albus, I have a bad feeling about this.

Dumbledore: Oh, don't worry Minerva. what's the worst he can do?

Two days later

I like to think if I were the Headmaster at Hogwarts and I wanted to address Slytherin's pureblood racism, I would just make Muggle Studies a mandatory subject. Because there's no way they could become a Death Eater when they're humming Reach by S Club 7 or checking their mobile for Instagram alerts.

Harry Potter wins the Triwizard Tournament Muggle Style

No one else stands a chance

Hear me out!

First Task: Dragon

Solution: something like catmint for dragons. Or maybe chloroform works on them, too.

Second Task: Underwater rescue

Solution: Buy scuba/diver gears and learn how to use it…

Third task: Labyrinth

Solution: that thing was growing for at least a few days in the books if I remember it right. Harry has a flying broom… fly overhead, take a picture, learn all the ways to the goal…

What do you think?

Wolfstar imagine where Sirius "Literally has Vanity in his Blood" Black loses it when Remus shows him his first muggle fashion magazine and sees the range of cosmetics.

Give me Sirius making a huge withdrawal from Gringotts in muggle currency, Remus saying "babe that's too much", but sighing and taking him to like... idk Sephora, and Sirius running up the craziest fucking bill at the makeup store.

Turns out he didn't withdraw too much, told you Moony.

They leave with a receipt so long it looks like they went to CVS. Fucking rich kids, what the fuck is this, you could buy a fucking car with this much money, Pads, what the hell.

Remus' rewards account that he made because there’s no way you’re just not getting the free points with this idiotic level of spending, you absolute clown, just use my number, don’t fucking waste them never runs out of points because it's the only phone number Sirius ever memorizes, and he always proudly says it to the cashiers.

Did you know they'll send physical catalogues to rich assholes who refuse to (or can’t) use the online catalogue? And that you can mail order parcels to a magical post distributor? Who transfers your mail to owls? And then your packages can reach Hogwarts? Remus knows, through his ridiculous fucking boyfriend who somehow keeps snagging those catalogues before he can burn them, Merlin knows how he can manage that but can't be bothered to finish his coursework, Pads. --Quit ruining my fun, Moony, I thought you liked ruining my makeup? Don't you like making a mess of me? Why do you hate joy?

They get gift baskets for being top spenders from both the store and from Sirius’ favorite individual brands. This is actually mortifying, Pads, stop laughing at me what the fuck even is this? What did they even send you? Christ.

Minnie: Once the cows are milked, you cook it to dehydrate it. Sirius: ??? James:(who was not listening) Merlin Pads, why do you look so scared? Sirius: Minnie just said that some muggles bake cows in to powder James: WHAT Remus: Merlin Prongs, powered milk is gross but not “made-of-baked-cows” gross Lily: Hey watch it Rem, I grew up with powdered milk James: Lily! You drank the muggle cow powder??? Lily: What? James it’s not— Sirius: Evans how could you Peter: What the fuck Lily Minnie: Potter! Pettigrew! Also, its professor, Sirius. Besides, powdered cream is not made from dehydrated cows its made from dehydrated milk. Minnie: *sighs*

[farieshades]

What part of Harry potter do you find most interesting?

Haha, it’s time for crackpot theories, with me, your host… Not really. Okay, kinda? 

Most interesting: The Muggles and Muggle-born Wix.

Now, this might not sound like much from the get go, but hold with me for a moment.

Well start off with the basics of Muggleborns and their distinct disadvantages. Now, no, this isn’t some pure-blood bigotry. Instead, it's systematic abuse of a people. So, pure-blood wix grow up in magic households, encouraged to learn magics and potions and magical theory, usually through homeschooling and/or small groups of ‘allied’ families instructing the children (or a tutor) [Although this may be fanon, but my head says it makes sense as there is no way a Malfoy would be sending a kid to a muggle primary and there is no reference to a younger aged day school for wix]. Muggle-borns have none of this. They grow up thinking magic isn’t real, for the most part, until on their ~11th birthday some random person shows up with a letter saying “Congrats, your a wix” and then whisks you away from your parents for the next seven years… more or less. 

Not that boarding schools are problematic, but just… The parents get very little knowledge about the world they are sending the kids into, if any. 

Next, one of the first things after they get their letters - is the supply list. One very small hidden away shopping market in the middle of London for students all over the UK to have to visit before school. Probably no problem if you were pure-blood and had access to a floo. But if you're on the Orkney isles and had to get to London for a shopping trip, eh, well, I know i’d be pissed. 

Now as you are shoping, comes the probable most important thing for a wix. Their wands. 

Probably, pure-blood kids have been waiting their entire lives to get their wand at age 11, if they didn’t already have one sooner, or if they hadn’t been using a relatives (even just for practice). 

Then the next thing they do, is let you leave the shop without any warning. 

“Warning, what do you mean warning?” 

Well, as seen with CoS, using magic outside of magic areas can get you kicked out of school. And they don’t exactly put a warning on the label. However, some of y’all might notice, the pure-bloods might have already been practicing. Sure it’s outside of school and ‘before’ school, but, well, lets see what our wonderful compendium says: “The Trace is a Charm put on wizards and witches who are under seventeen years of age. When any magical activity is performed in the vicinity of the underage individual, the Improper Use of Magic Office within the Ministry of Magic is alerted to the spell that was used and to the location of the caster and the time. The charm allows the Ministry to track underage magic, which is banned under the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery. The Trace automatically breaks upon a wizard or witch's seventeenth birthday”

So who’s going to tell the Ministry Hermione was practicing magic before the train to Hogwarts? Cause I’m pretty sure that’s legit one of the first things we hear her say. “I’ve tried a few simple spells ust for practice and it’s all worked for me.”

Which tells me one thing. The Trace does not activate before Hogwarts, and it wouldn’t affect children not attending Hogwarts. Theoretically, this is the same for all schools, however, we only really know about Hogwarts in this instance. And given that it activated in CoS when Dobby used Magic near Harry, it most certainly does not inform the Ministry of the “caster”, only the vicinity in which magic was performed near the underage individual. 

Now, I imagine that this would overflow the Improper Use of Magic Office if it did this with every spell near an underage student, because if they’re living in a Wix home, there’s bound to be magic abound. Thus it only affects Muggleborn and raised students, meaning there is a distinct disadvantage to the school system. Now the law states that underage students of Wix parents are monitored by their parents, but yeah, “lets steal the magic car and fly around London to get to Harry and break him out of the house” resulted in being given a loud lecture and de-gnoming the garden, which, while not a pleasant task, is much better than ‘We’re watching you and you do it again your wand is snapped’ that seems to exist.

However, the trace and wands makes my roomba brain go zoom elsewhere so we’re in for a detour. 

Inherently wix don’t need wands. At least, not when they are younger and not when they learn control. Thus, the wand is a tool that is being used to harness control when there is unstable magic. This can be seen from the wandless/accidental magic done by children in the UK area of roughly ‘Hogwarts’ but in History and through different cultures, wandless magic can be a form of main practice. African Wix prefer practicing wandless magic instead of using wands. The same could be said about the Indigenous Wix of the Americas before colonising wix showed up with wands and, well, colonised the area. Wix from cultures with wands have a much harder time with wandless magics, implying a reliance on a wand for stronger magic that isn’t inherent to the wix but due to an ‘ease of use’ for the wands. Wands make magic easier to do, but not ‘stronger’ unless the wix in question is already powerful. It’s also not something that’s taught, or at least from what we can see from Hogwarts and our glimpses at Ilvernmorny [The wonderful single school for the North Americas… which in itself is bloody interesting cause I definitely want to see an Yupik wix and a Redneck-from-Texas wix trying to go to the same school.].  

However, as seen from the different magics, wands aren’t needed, but law restrictions are in place to other creatures. Goblins & House Elves learn wandless magic, not inherently but because in the laws they are barred from having wands. [Althoug half my mind says I made up that fact, but it also sounds like something Hermione may have mentioned… Or was mentioned in Harry Crow @ the Goblins i suppose…] Anyway, wandless magic is something that all Wix can do, but it’s just not strengthened. And, why in this evergrowing capitalistic society might this be? Well… Lets look at one family in particular. The Ollivander family started manufacturing wands in 382 B.C. Over time, they earned a worldwide reputation and supposedly are the one’s selling the most wands across the nations because of this reputation. 

It also gives a means of control to the government. 

So, say, when a criminal is captured. Going to be sent to Azkaban for an undetermined time, such as, say, Hagrid…. The wand they have is snapped. ‘Breaking’ their connection to their magic. The wand controls the wix because the wand ‘chooses’ which wix it’s ‘being’ alignes with most easily [Now my head turns to “The Nightmare Man” in which our ‘protagonist’ collects wands and can seemingly use any, and while fanfiction, still does ring true in the books/movies in which Harry can grab a wand from a wix on the enemy side and use it in place of his own when needs must. Or with Hermione’s wand when cornered by Sirius in PoA]

So we have Power in the hands of Gov and a few, and Control and regulation of a populus happening. 

Okay, okay… Muggles.

We know there is a distinct difference in Muggle/No-maj to Wix because of, honestly, 1 thing. Dudley couldn’t see the dementor. That’s it, really. 

Okay, so on a more ‘looking’ note, they can’t do magic with wands. Wands when given to squibs or muggles just don’t work. However, as evidenced with the goblins and house elves, perhaps, this could be a different genetic signifier in human evolution between two intermingled groups. Now, my background is most certainly not biology, the furthest I know is grade 12 bio. But, I have spent plenty of time examining old texts and literal human evolution, so not completely qualified for this type of topic, but imma wing it anyway.

Logically, the gene of magic would need to be incredibly rare, considering the population size is considerably smaller than what the world has, whereas the ‘muggle gene’ is dominant. Which means Wix marrying Wix = Wix child, however this isn’t always the case as there is the existence of squibs, meaning that sometimes the gene doesn’t hold through two Wix. When a Wix marries a Muggle the child is often times Wix, but not always [and i’m not sure if the non-magic child would be called a squib in this case with 1 muggle parent]. With Muggles marrying muggles = Wix this would indicate a recessive gene carried and passed down becoming ‘active’ (?) which theoretically would indicate the muggle being from a line of squibs. 

Lily is a muggleborn wix, Petunia is just considered a Muggle. However, for this ‘genetically’ speaking (you know, in a world with magic so who knows “random happenstance” could certainly work for explanations but I like messing with bad science) to work, one or both parents would require the recessive wix gene to activate Lily’s magical inheritance at a young age. 

Hermione, similarly, would require one or both parents to be distantly related to another Wix to ‘inherit’ magic as one would inherit blue eyes. 

Now, this gets tricky however, when one introduces Demetors to Surrey, because our wonderful Arabella Figg, in place by Dumbledore as Harry’s ‘guard’ despite her squib status, could see the Dementor, while Dudley, who (if my belief of recessive gene would stand) would be of wix descent, couldn’t see the Dementor. Which honestly raises more questions than answers, as in “How many generations until recessive gene won’t let one see a Dementor” and, well, who bloody well knows. The most we actually know of Dudley is his school and the fact that he married someone and had two kids. Interestingly there, J. K. Rowling has stated that she originally planned to have Dudley have a wizard child in the Epilogue but decided that no magical blood would ever get past Uncle Vernon's DNA, which might be the explanation of the Dementor just there. But then if magic were in any way genetic then Squibs would not be ostracized, because a union of two Squibs would be quite likely to produce a "full-blood" wix. Squibs would simply be thought of as "magic skipping a generation or two" Instead Squibs are treated as imbeciles and evolutionary dead ends, the same way medieval societies treated people with learning disorders and mild mental disabilities. This in itself may be a nod to the… old structure of living that the Wix seem to have based on, pre-electricity and such.

But let me get back on track… Ah, actually I suppose i've hit most of the points I intended...

Really, the “most interesting” part of the Harry Potter universe is that nobody seems to question anything in-verse. Harry just kinda shrugs and moves along while all the above just gets piled up in hypocrisy and nearly out-right oppressions, and all the while, the Pure-bloods are of the belief that the muggle-born kids are slow and shouldn’t attend because they are never given the same opportunities outside of school. 

…

…

Did that make sense or did I just ramble a bunch?

Finally. A follow up with the only logical continuation.

Everybody, welcome Perif. …Arigrine?? Idk, but there will be more.

I got carried away and wrote a whole goofy semi romantic script. And you’ll have to witness it.

Also, I thought it would be fun if muggle studies professor office is hiding behind that plane piece in the wall, how cool would that be :}
