Potter Gossip
written for the drarry discord drabble challenge january 2023, for the prompt “rumours”, wc 188. (ao3 link)
thank you to @crazybutgood for beta-ing this for me <3
When Pansy slid in beside him, devious smile in place, and proclaimed that she “learned the most interesting tidbit in DADA today,” Draco considered casting an ear blocking charm at himself. 
“I heard about Potter’s Patronus,” Draco groaned. “The student body is eternally fixated on Potter gossip.”
The first he heard of it was in the Slytherin common room, a sixth year laughing over Harry Potter’s Patronus changing from the mighty stag into a flobberworm. Then, while going to Potions, a group of first years were debating whether it was a lion or a dragon until they noticed him and scattered. Finch-Fletchley told him it was a wolf, delivered with a barely veiled threat to watch out, “because you never know what might happen if a wand slips—wolves are ferocious.”
Never mind that Patronuses can’t cause bodily harm. (That Harry wouldn’t hurt him). 
Hippogriff, beaver, horse—everyone had a theory. It was exhausting. Pansy could excuse him for not caring.
“Oh? You know his Patronus is also an Arctic fox?”
Draco whipped around to the Gryffindor table, only to find the man already looking at him. Was Harry blushing ? 
“Thought so,” Pansy said smugly.

I could not pass up on this challenge, so I hope my entry still counts even though I cut it close. I did the house test a while ago and got Slytherin. As for the Patronus, I chose a bear because of my spouse. He's my protector, and there is precedent of the Patronus being a symbol of your loved one with both Tonks and Lily. I had fun working on this and it was such a cute challenge! Thanks @alxvltg_art and @hikanart for coming up with it!

I am back with another! And on the right day this time ^_^
Day 4- Antlers & Magic
I’m working off a few lists because I am very indecisive haha and if there’s a prompt that I can’t think of an idea for I get nervous and don’t draw anything and then I fall behind 😖 so on one list the prompt was Antlers and on the other was Magic and a deer Patronus popped right into my head! So I put both together and here he is. The background is watercolor and the deer is acrylic paint outlined in my favorite col-erase pencil (Tuscan Red)

The legacy characters reacting to mc/you kissing them?
A/n: I assumed you meant the first kiss...if I am wrong please let me know! I really liked this one, fluff is my forte. If you guys would like a girls version, let me know! This just got waaay too long lol.
Sebastian Sallow:
Alright. To go in order, he is surprised, flustered, and then overjoyed.
I imagine you're trampling through the woods in search of some potion ingredients. After all, Sebastian despises paying for things he can easily grab from the wild.
So the two of you are searching for a white flower with a blue and pink center. It's harder than it looks but you're having the time of your life being so far away from anyone but each other.
Sebastian thought that maybe this would become a patronus memory. He wasn't wrong!
"There it is!" You exclaim out of nowhere. He turns to see your outstretched hand reaching for a clearing in the cliffs. A cave. The flower is in a small, narrow cave.
Magic is forbidden outside of Hogwarts grounds, and somewhere long ago you had passed the border. So a summoning charm is out of question.
Sebastian hoists you on his shoulders so you can wriggle into the small space. And, of course, you do. There is a small moment of panick where you thought that you might be stuck, but he helped you out smoothly.
Of course, you have to thank him with a kiss. So yeah, you stand on your toes and plant a small kiss on his lips. The two of you had been dating for less than two weeks and you were tired of him not making a move to kiss you.
Unbeknownst to you, he was going to kiss you as a little reward to himself for saving you.
His arms wrapped around your waist and he pulled you closer to him. He wouldn't let you off with ONE kiss!
On the outside he is calm and collected but on the inside, he is so giddy it's almost contagious. The most amazing person at Hogwarts just kissed him? And he's kissing them again? Yeah, he smiles into the kiss and has to bite down a happy giggle.
Ominis gets SUCH an earful that night!!
Ominis Gaunt:
Mans is the definition of "Pining."
Everything you do has him absolutely enamored, willing for more. And when I mean everything, I mean he's listening you tend to a flobberworm with a HUGE grin. But, he never makes a move because, well, you're the hero of hogwarts! Surely you could do better than a blind, cold, Gaunt.
He agreed to spend the afternoon with you in your Vivarium. After all, he loves animals! Maybe not as much as Poppy, but he definitely is in his happy place. Warm grass, sunshine, a Mooncalf laying it's head on his stomach, and most of all, you!
His smile grows impossibly larger once he hears you laugh. "Ominis, he just rolled over! The worm!" There wasn't much incredible about worms in his opinion, but you were excited and that made it worth it.
"That's incredible! Maybe you can train them like dogs!" You flopped down on the grass beside him and smiled at his comment. "I bet I could learn to make leashes for them. Considering they don't have necks, it would be a challenge."
You were close. So close. Was that new perfume? Ominis went into overdrive, subtly scooting away from you. He couldn't stomach the thought of you hearing his heart beat out of his chest after all.
"Ominis?" He craned his head in your direction. Was he blushing? Oh merlin, he hoped not.
"I was just talking about Hogsmeade, are you alright? Usually you jump to go to Honeydukes." Genuine concern laced your voice and he smiled. You always were just too kind.
"Fine, sorry. Go on."
But you were silent. It wasn't until he felt a weight against his arm that he realized you had moved closer.
"Ominis, has anyone told you that you're gorgeous?" You laughed at his guffaw. "No...?"
"You are. Beautiful, even. Handsome if I do say so myself."
Your breath tickled his ear. How fast does a heart have to beat in order to explode? He dreaded to find out.
"MC..." He trailed off, not knowing what to say.
"Can I kiss you?" You offered instead.
His mind was screaming at him to decline, screaming that he would somehow hurt you, but his heart took charge and he found himself nodding.
If he thought you smelled sweet, you tasted sweeter. And he sighed at a gentle kiss. His heart calmed down, everything seemed to calm when you were touching him.
Carefully he placed a hand on the back of your head and pulled you in for another kiss.
As he felt you smile into the kiss, all his worries about not being good enough went away.
You were here, with him, and that's all that matters.
Garreth Weasley
Golden retriever boyfriend!!
Technically (and I use technically very loosely here,) You guys aren't dating.
But he calls you pet names and you kiss his cheek, one of you is always sneaking the other into your dorm for cuddles, and hand holding is almost a second reflex.
So yeah. Other than not being labeled as partners, you guys are dating.
And it's after quidditch that you guys...make it official.
It was the house cup and you both were playing. Whether it be both for Gryffindor or Gryffindor versus your house, the two of you are up in the air.
After not having Quidditch fifth year, it's a warm welcome to be up and fighting for your house!
The game was intense, and you could hear your friends screaming for your victory in the stands.
A large number of people had gathered outside of the pitch as well. The house cup always drew former students back to watch their old house win.
All the attention must have gone to your ego, because you were playing amazing!! Even your rivals were gawking at you. Of course you were good at quidditch before, but the extra attention makes you a superstar!
And so when the snitch is caught and the crowd goes wild, the pure Euphoria washes over you in a wild wave.
You had won, and you had won in a landslide.
Garreth is spotted and you don't think twice before jumping from your broom to his, laughing at his confused expression.
"We won!!" You exclaimed, grabbing onto his shoulders and smiling so wide it hurt. "We won the house cup!"
"I kno-" Garreth is cut off by you grabbing his face by the cheeks and kissing him hard. His face goes almost as red as his hair!
The broom stutters underneath you and he quickly calms it down, grabbing onto your waist and kissing you back just as passionately.
Well, Natty catches you guys, noticing you aren't on the ground celebrating and her laugh is what makes you break apart. With embarrassed glances, the two of you follow Natty back down to the pitch.
Leander Prewitt:
Boy is too confident in his mistakes.
By that, I mean, he asked you on a date to the three broomsticks. It went well and you were feeling all fuzzy...until he tried to kiss you.
Of course you didn't mind being kissed by him but he goes in with all his confidence and smashes his forehead against your nose, causing it to bleed. So he goes to grab a napkin but knocks his chair over and it lands on your foot. Then, picking it up, he bumped into the table and spilled your butterbeer. The hot liquid went right into the woman at the adjacent table's lap.
So, naturally, he helped you stop the bleeding and then he ran. He's been avoiding you since then and your feeble attempts at finding him don't work.
He's...a mess.
Garreth comes and finds you a couple days later and he can't even keep the irritation out of his tone while he tells you that Leander would like to speak to you. Meet him at the DADA tower tonight.
He walks away before you can ask him what time.
You waited for three hours and your annoyance grew by every moment. Of course you didn't blame Leander, Garreth didn't tell you what time! To your knowledge anyway. No, Leander CHOSE not to give a time because he heard Sebastian talking about how feelings intensify after a waiting period.
Welp. Not exactly what he meant, Leander, but okay.
When Leander peeks around the corner, he thinks you don't notice him, but oh boy, you do.
"Can you BELIEVE Garreth didn't give me a time? I have been waiting for three bloody hours! Gah!" You slammed your book shut and stood to face him. "It's okay. What would you like to talk to me about?"
He's too busy mentally beating himself up to answer you immediately. "Oh, uh," He stutters after a few seconds. "I just wanted to say that I am so, so very sorry for how our date went."
"It's not your fault, Leander, don't worry! And Nurse Blainey fixed my nose. No worries."
He still didn't look convinced. Even though you had to stand on your toes, you stood and kissed him lightly on the lips. "It's all alright, Lee."
Okay he malfunctioned. Mans just stopped working.
Slowly his face goes pink and his smile grows. He might be a loser sometimes, but hey. He's your loser.
Amit Thakkar.
So, so Awkward.
Yes, he likes you. Alot. But you don't like him that way, and that's fine! He values your friendship anyway. Well, he thought you didn't like him that way.
Truth be told, you were absolutely smitten with him!
Who doesn't love a handsome and smart, not to mention sweet boy?
The only person who knows this is your best friend, Poppy.
And of course, she is determined to get the two of you together. Because if she heard you ramble on about liking him but knowing he doesn't feel the same one more time, she might just lose it.
So in History of Magic one day, she notices Amit isn't glued to the board. He's scribbling in his notebook, but- wait. He's blushing.
She takes the seat next to him, leaving both you and Amit confused. He's quick to turn the page. This doesn't discourage your friend whatsoever. Instead, she just smiles to herself. When Amit isn't looking, she switches their notebooks and comes back to her normal seat next to you.
"I have something for you."
You can only blink at her. After all, she was acting very strange. "O-okay?"
And she hands you his notebook, flips a page, and wow you are face to face with a page of love poems. Mostly original ones too. Written in your house colors, describing someone who could only be you.
"I told you!!" Poppy hisses at you with a triumphant smirk on her face.
After class, Amit stayed behind to look for his notebook. You stayed behind to give it to him.
"Poppy had this." You can't meet his eyes.
Oh no. He knows what you read.
"Mc! It's not- I didn't mean to- Oh merlin MC, I'm sorry you had to read that."
His face is PALE because he is convinced you think he's weird and want nothing to do with him now.
"No, no, Amit don't apologize! I thought they were incredibly sweet."
Oh great, now they're trying to make him feel better.
"Really, I did." You continued. "I- I have my own Poems actually. I mean I didn't write them myself but I like Poetry. Alot. I guess what I want to say-am trying to say I mean- is that I feel the same way about you."
Amit went from pale to flushed in record time. "You do? I-wow, okay-wow."
An awkward silence filled the room before your enchanted watch dinged, letting you know that you were late to Charms. "I have to go...will you meet me at the Astronomy tower tonight? After dinner?"
He is still blushing as you lean in to kiss his cheek. With a shy half smile you leave the classroom, smiling to yourself. He is left standing in place, a hand over where you kissed his cheek and a shy but ecstatic grin on his face.

Prompt 27 - Expecto Patronum
@wolfstarmicrofic March 27, word count 301
Fifth year was turning out to be more challenging than Sirius had anticipated. There was a monstrous amount of homework, and the wand work had amped up a few notches. 
He was having particular trouble casting a patronus. He was sick of chanting ‘Expecto Patronum’ and having nothing happen. Not even a wisp of a patronus emerged from his wand. 
James had been one of the first to cast the spell successfully. Of course, he had. That boy was happiness incarnate. His stag patronus was so blindingly bright the class had had to look away.   
“You’ll get it,” James wrapped his arm around Sirius’s shoulders, giving him a quick squeeze. “You’ve had a shit time recently. It’s bound to be hard to get a happy memory to feel happy after what your family did to you. Just keep trying. It’ll come eventually.” 
James was only trying to make it better, but he made Sirius feel terrible. He was trying so hard not to let everything that had happened at Christmas affect him. But how could it not?
His own parents had cast the cruciatus curse on him repeatedly until he was senseless. He was lucky he’d been able to escape. 
“Expecto Patronum, Expecto Patronum, Expecto Patronum.” He kept chanting over and over, concentrating on memories of his friends. 
He was about to give up when, as he was chanting the spell the last few times, Remus looked up from his book and smiled at him. Suddenly, a huge ghostly dog erupted from the tip of his wand and bounded around the classroom. It came back to him and sat at his feet with its tongue lolling out the side of its mouth. 
He had no idea what he’d been thinking when he cast it, but whatever it was, it was powerful.

Random Sebastian Sallow headcanons pt.3
Random Sebastian Sallow Headcanons by me!
Loves mythology, especially Greek mythology. 
Speaking of that, he’s really well versed in Scottish Mythology since he is Scottish. 
Definitely reads books that are written in Scottish Gaelic. He can understand it but he likes to challenge himself. 
Honestly I think if he played an instrument, he’d play the Violin. 
His mother definitely taught him and Anne so that they could play music together. 
He used to go down into their homes cellar and sit in his dads lap while he read. Because of this, Sebastian learned how to read from a very young age and it sparked his love for books. 
Even when he was younger, he didn’t like Solomon. 
Sebastian looks more like their dad and Anne looks more like their mother, hence why he has a bunch of freckles and Anne doesn’t. (which still baffles me) 
Speaking of freckles, he has full body freckles. They are most prominent on his face, shoulders, arms, and back. 
The reason why he can see Thestrals is because he had witnessed the death of another uncle. (we know it's not his parents because Ominis specified Anne and Sebastian got there after their parents died). 
He literally sucks at Gobstones. He mentions that Anne always beat him and he meant that when he said it. Like this boy couldn’t even beat Ominis, who’s literally blind. 
Gives the most annoying, slobbery kisses when he wants to annoy you. I’m sorry but it had to be said. 
That being said, he loves to annoy his S/O all the time. Nobody knows why, he just finds it really funny when they get frustrated with him. 
He is the number one Gaunt Family hater (besides Ominis himself of course). In their first year, Ominis opened up pretty quickly to Sebastian about how poorly his family treated him and ever since then Sebastian has resented the Gaunts for what they did to his best friend. 
Sebastian’s Patronus is honestly one of the ones I just can’t pin down honestly. I’d definitely have to do with his spontaneousness and his mischievousness along with his desire to have free will but also mirror his wisdom and intelligence.
He first got introduced to the dark arts obviously when he first attended school. He knew very little about them before. But when he became best friends with Ominis, a certain 7th-year older brother of his (*cough cough* Marvolo) decided to introduce him to some dark spells just to upset Ominis (which it did) although in the future, Sebastian did convince Ominis to learn confringo with him in the undercroft. 
After school, especially after 5th year and everything that happened with Anne and Solomon, he swears off using the dark arts unless absolutely necessary. He realized how much they ruined his life and didn’t want to continue allowing them to ruin his life. 
Horrible dancer, he’s practically got two left feet. He’ll try his best, especially if he’s dancing with his S/O but he definitely needs some pointers on what to do. 
He thinks he can learn everything from a book, which isn’t exactly untrue but he’ll be in the library for hours just to find the exact book that gives him exactly what he wants even if he has to go to the restricted section every once and a while. 
Doesn’t even understand WHY they have a restricted section. If the books down there are so “bad” why even keep them in a school full of children??? 
On a lighter note. When he blushes, it is IMPOSSIBLE to hide. His cheeks go a deep red color and his face heats up like it's burning. I’d like to think his ears turn a little pink too but no matter how hard he tries to cover it all up, he can’t. 
This of course just subjects him to a bit of teasing. 
I don’t think he’d be a prefect, it made it pretty clear how much he dislikes them in the game, not to mention with his detention record the school probably wouldn’t even imagine making him one.
That still doesn’t keep the younger students from going to him with their problems instead of the prefects because he’s just 1000 times better than them. 
Speaking of this, I feel like a lot of the Slytherin first years look up to him because he’s the perfect mix of mischievous and intelligent. So as much as he likes having his fun that drives the school crazy, he’s still dedicated to his education. So he’s not gonna rat the first years out for anything they’ve done but he definitely guides them in a better direction. (after all he doesn’t want all of them ending up like him.) 
And even though he has his wild side, he’s still mature enough to take responsibility for his actions, no matter the punishment. 
Up next is Ominis! (request are open btw!)

Did someone said on Tumblr that Ginny was more powerful than Harry? Like? Are they crazy?
Ginny is really talented and powerful on her own but saying she's more than Harry the guy who taught her and the rest of the DA dark arts and duels is really off on their minds.
Why Harry is more powerful and better at dueling
1 - at eleven, was described by his teachers as ‘bright’
2 - at the same age, according to the Sorting Hat: “Not a bad mind, either. There’s talent, oh my goodness, yes” and “You could be great, you know, it’s all here in your head”
3 - mastered the challenging Patronus Charm at thirteen and proceeded to teach it at fifteen resisted the Imperius Curse at fourteen and soon learned to throw it off completely, even when cast by the incredibly powerful Voldemort also at fourteen, learned to cast a powerful Accio Charm
5 - at fifteen, was training other students at the same age, under extreme stress, tested as 'exceeds expectations’ or 'outstanding’ in evein every subject that required actual magic (including the dreaded Potions) same age, cast a briefly effective Cruciatus Curse
6- at sixteen, became a star Potions student simply by following superior instructions
at seventeen, successfully cast the Imperius Curse on his first try, and used it repeatedly at the same age, cast a successful Cruciatus Curse
7 - at 17 became auror and later leader of that department in 2007
8 - Harry was possessed by Voldemort in full power and got rid of Voldemort
9 - survived and kick out of the 3 forbidden curses.
I like Ginny a lot and she's powerful but please people don't be fully blind when was proven in the books that Harry is more powerful.
When the argument is because of their signature spells it's nonsensical because we know how much Harry doesn't like to hurt or even the chance of getting people killed.
" because Harry is just expelliarmus" people read the wrong books.

Slow Dancing In A Burning Room
Bill Weasley x Reader
Tumblr media
Masterlist - Join My Taglist!
Written for my personal fic writing challenge for 2024, Sophie's Year of Fic! Featuring a new fic every Friday, all year long :)
Fandom: Harry Potter
Summary: Bill Weasley and his new wife have their wedding reception interrupted by Death Eaters and news of the Ministry falling. Things look bleak when they escape to Shell Cottage, but they find a way to keep each other going.
Word Count: 1,015
Category: Angst, Fluff
Putting work into an AI program without permission is illegal. You do not have my permission. Do not do it.
Weddings were supposed to be happy. They were supposed to be joyful celebrations, with all the people who mattered most. Even in the midst of a brewing war, I thought Bill and I would get that. One night of a break before returning our attention to all the terrible things going on in the world.
I guess I should've known better.
One minute, I was twirling across the dancefloor in the arms of my new husband, sharing a smile as the rest of the world faded away. In that moment, despite everything going on outside of our wedding, the world felt perfect.
The next minute, a glowing lynx had burst through the ceiling and into the middle of the dancefloor, announcing the fall of the Ministry of Magic and the death of the Minister along with it. The reception descended into chaos, people screaming and running as the protective enchantments around the giant tent fell one by one. It had been absolute chaos, and I barley remembered Bill grabbing my hand and getting us both out of there as the Death Eaters arrived.
Now, I sat on the sofa in Shell Cottage, where we were supposed to start our honeymoon. The place had glowed with warmth and coziness the first time we'd visited, but now it seemed all too dark, cold, and deserted.
"I just let my dad know we're alright," Bill said, coming back into the living room. He'd stepped outside to send a Patronus to his dad, to make sure the family wouldn't worry about us. "Hopefully we'll hear back from him soon."
I nodded, a little numbly, as my new husband crossed the room and waved his wand to start a fire in the fireplace. Once he'd finished, he came to sit next to me on the couch. We both stayed there for a few long moments, shoulder to shoulder and staring into the flames. I have no idea how long we would've stayed there on our own, but another glowing Patronus shot into the room not much later, this one the familiar shape of a weasel.
Bill's dad's voice came from the Patronus to tell us the rest of the family was safe, and that they'd be in touch when they could. A bit of the weight lifted off my chest, but a lot of it still remained. As the light of the Patronus and Arthur's voice faded, the darkness crept back in, despite the fire.
"Y/N?" I looked up to see Bill's concerned face. "Love, you're crying."
I raised a hand to my cheek to find he was right. Tears were streaming down my face, and the second I was forced to recognize it, a dam broke inside me.
I fell forward into Bill's chest as I sobbed, and he wrapped his arms around me. He held me tight, rubbing one hand soothingly up and down my back.
"It's going to be alright," he muttered into my hair, his own voice miraculously calm. I just cried harder.
"How can you say that, Bill?" I wailed. "We almost got killed at our own wedding, and now the Ministry has completely fallen. How can you possibly say that we're going to make it through this alright?"
He took a deep, shaky breath, then gently pulled me back from him enough that he could look me in the eye. His eyes shone and his eyebrows were furrowed, mirroring the distress I felt. But there was a grim set to the line of his mouth that signaled a quiet, unbreakable determination.
"We will make it through this," he promised. He gripped my shoulders a little tighter, leaning in until we were almost nose to nose. "We will get to our happy ending, no matter what."
I laughed a little through the tears, Bill's absolute conviction so ridiculous it brought a smile to my face.
"How can you be so sure?" I asked. He grinned.
"Because it's us. We just got married. That means we're a team, for the rest of our lives, against anything else the world wants to throw at us. And I happen to know that we make a fantastic team. I personally pity anyone who bets against us."
I giggled again, leaning into Bill as he leaned into me. No one else in the world could've lifted my spirits in this moment, other than the man sitting beside me. Which, of course, was no small part of the reason I'd married him.
"Come on," Bill said after a minute, standing and holding out his hand to me. "I believe we were in the middle of something before those bastards crashed our wedding."
I shook my head, still smiling anyway as I took his hand and he pulled me to my feet. Still in my wedding dress, and with Bill still in his suit, we came together in the middle of the living room in Shell Cottage to finish the slow dance that had been interrupted. His arms wrapped tightly around me and I rested my head on his chest while the last of the tears dried on my face.
"You're right," I mumbled, my voice barely loud enough for him to hear. "You're right, we will get through this. And I'll personally make sure anyone who tries to hurt us comes to regret it."
Bill huffed a laugh and tightened his arms around me.
"I have absolutely no doubts about that."
I pulled back to smile into the face of the man I loved, and after a moment, he leaned in and kissed me. We stayed like that for a long time, swaying in the middle of our living room, kissing occasionally, but mostly just enjoying the fact that we were still here, together and whole, after everything that had happened.
In the warm, flickering glow of the firelight, the darkness of the cottage started to regain its cozy feeling, and a tiny spark of joy for the thought of the future rekindled itself in my chest.

Could you do some Sebastian HCs please? 🥺 NSFW as well? Your Ominis ones were top tier 🙌🏼
Sebastian Headcanon
Is this how you Seb girlies recruit? Cause I was 100% Ominis and Garreth then I started getting requests like this now I’m in love with the trash man!
I ship him with Imelda SO HARD so if I refer to Imelda just swap her to MC or Y/N
I’m going to include anything surrounding Sebastian so I’ll mention Anne too…
🔞 MINORS DNI 🔞
~
General HCs
Met Ominis in Charms. They’ve sat next to each other since first year and despite sharing a dorm they didn’t speak until theirs charms class. Ominis keeps to himself so I don’t think this is completely out of the realms of possibility, but it drove Sebastian insane. He was so curious about him, the way he moved around the castle etc, and it all came tumbling out when Ominis placed his wand to a book to read. Sebastian noticed he was ‘reading’ faster than him and no one reads faster him. So he asked him how and he was genuinely so excited and fascinated by him that Ominis let his guard down. Rest is history.
Plays as a Keeper in Quidditch. He’s the only one Imelda trusts in the position. Although when they play friendlies and there’s nothing at stake she makes him play beater so she can ogle him afterwards. Compliments him on his ‘form’. Insists he’s not blushing he’s just red in the face from Quidditch.
He’s the shortest of the bois. He’s still tall but Garreth is an inch taller than him and when Ominis stands up properly he’s way taller than both. Doesn’t really care but will get wound up easily if Leander says anything.
Favourite subject: Charms…I know but hear me out. He’s good a DADA without trying. He likes Charms because he has to think about different uses for spells to suit his needs. Look at the way he immediately think of Accio for other purposes than bringing objects to you. It challenges him.
I think Him, Garreth and Ominis are bros…Garreth and Sebastian are both annoying mischievous bastards you know they’d bond over stupid shit. ‘Oh I stole this potions book from the Restricted Section for you’ and ‘I made this potion that turns your Confringo to lightening’ they would just encourage each others bullshit and send Ominis to an early grave.
His Boggart is everyone leaving him or him being alone. I go in detail here
As someone who has lost a parent, I’m fairly confident in saying I think after a while Seb will accept what has happened to him. After that, he’ll look into the Mirror of Erised and see himself and Anne, older and healthy. Anne is pregnant with Garreth, who walks up behind Sebastian and ruffles his hair. He sees Ominis and Imelda in the distance laughing and blowing raspberries at Anne and Garreths’ other baby.
Patronus
Right so hear me out… cause some of these are…questionable
Lion - He’s Loyal, fierce and is clearly a leader. I’ve written so much chatter between Ominis, Garreth and Seb where they talk about Seb being a Gryffindor that it just won’t leave me. Because he just is. The ONLY reason he’s a Slytherin is because of his morally grey attitude. Everything else…total Gryffindor.
King Cobra - They eat other snakes (would annihilate Ominis’ family in sight and you can’t convince me otherwise) and are among the smartest of the species. Sebastian is exactly that. Also I know that his Patronus being a snake would amuse Ominis no end. I don’t know if this is how Patronus’ work but the idea of Ominis being able to speak to Sebastian’s Patronus and turn it against him makes me giggle. True King of Slytherin.
Crow - Very Intelligent. Also if you google ‘Crow Traits’ it literally says Inquisitive and Mischievous …They also symbolise Death but also Intelligence and Loyalty. Need I say more
Speaking of Patronus’ and his similarity to Harry:
One of the memories he uses to conjure a Patronus is of his parents. He can’t remember if it’s real. He’s spoken to Anne about it and she remembers it too but slightly differently. It’s just them sitting in their living room sat in his moms lap whilst she reads to him.
Second is the first time Slytherin win a Quidditch match in sixth year. Imelda’s jumping around celebrating after catching the snitch and he joins her. The team are all jostling around and he bumps into her. There’s a moment where he’s holding her upright to protect her from the crowd and she looks so small…it’s the moment he realises he’s got feelings for her and later in seventh year she tells him the same.
Family
This isn’t really a headcanon just something I always think about. I feel like Sebastian is what could have happened Harry. Both lose their parents and both are left with abusive family members. I feel like if the Dursleys had magic, Harry could have very easily turned out like Sebastian.
Nicknames
For Victoria
Calls Victoria, Vic or V exclusively. She’s never Victoria, she could never annoy him enough for him to full name her.
Teased her the once and she responded that was actually an Angel and would never do anything wrong. From then on she’s Angel.
Is a master of changing the way he sounds to suit the conversation i.e
(After knocking her on her arse in Crossed Wands)“Look at me, are you okay, Angel?”
(Horny AF) - “Oh Angel, you look so pretty with your mouth open”
For Imelda
Calls Imelda, Mel
When she gets a little shouty and and he’s feeling brave will call her Ma’am
Again KING of changing how he says things:
(After being shouted at in Quidditch) “Yes, Ma’am”
(After she rolls on top of him, chuckling) “Mmm Yes, Ma’am”
Relationshipy Stuff
I like the two sides of the same coin aspect of him and Anne. They’re both mischievous little shits but I think Anne has compassion that Sebastian lacks. He has no way of looking at a problem and just listening to it he *has* to resolve it. We see that with Anne’s curse.
So if his partner ever has a problem he’ll go out of his way to resolve it. Even if it was just something small he’ll go over the top.
I have a cute thought of Imelda getting splinters from Quidditch and he researches into charms and salves and all sorts for her. Gifts her a balm for her hands to protect her and she’s like “Seb, I haven’t seen you in weeks…is this what you’ve been doing?”
Again I’m probably projecting because I personally don’t want kids but I don’t think he’d want children. He’s be too scared of what happened to him either if he died and left them or if he turned out like Solomon. Plus Imelda would be busy being a Boss Bitch for a family so he’s happy as is.
🔞 NSFW Headcanons 🔞
He’s so tender. I love rough Seb but I just think he falls in love hard and fast he adores whoever he is with.
Because of that I imagine he’s SUPER vocal. Constantly praising and complimenting who he’s with.
“You’re so Beautiful”
“You have no idea how long I’ve waited to have my hands on you”
Don’t think he’s be into any sort of pain stuff cause his sister is constantly in pain it might remind of her and it’d completely ruin his whole day.
I also think he’d be spontaneous, like he can’t contain his love for them any longer, and will drag them to the nearest broom closet.
There is not an area of Quidditch Arena and Broom closets that him and Imelda haven’t done it.
Seeing the state of each other after a match, all sweaty and flustered just gets both of them going.
Still really possessive and jealous, loves hearing his own name
“Say my name. Say it again, Look at me, and Say. It. Again. Focus on me and nothing else”
“Tell me who you belong to?”
“Who else makes you feel like this?”
The whole “You’re mine, I’m Yours” thing makes him wild.
LOVES eye contact ESPECIALLY when eating out, just likes looking at the things he’s done to her and she’s done to him.
LOVES finishing on her face. It’s like the ultimate possessive thing.

I wanted to write a character profile for my MC, Ennea Bragge, and some cool moments with her new best friends. (I’ll probably have better screenshots coming)
Full name: Ennea Emiliana Bragge m. Ennea Sallow Name explained: The word "Ennea" is the Greek word for "nine". Nine represents the combination of three trinities (3x3). This symbolizes Ennea's internal struggle between light and darkness, her past self and her new identity, or conflicting loyalties.
DOB: February 1st, 1876 Nickname: E, Enny
Gender: Female (she/her)
Nationality: English
Blood Status: pureblood
House: Slytherin
Wand: Phoenix core, 10 ¾" Length, Willow, white or black (haven’t decided yet)
Patronus: Unicorn
Likes: Butterbeer, cats, owls, cheesy jokes
Dislikes: liars, stupid rules, getting up early, Ravenclaws (sometimes when they bully her) 
Magical pet: Siamese cat Loona
Owl: Boisie the eagle owl
Hobbies: Seeker on the Slytherin team, drawing, piano
Appearance
Hair: Hazelnut brown
Eyes: Azure blue
Height: 166cm
Physique: slim, too skinny, but she develops curves later on when she gets older
Other features: Tiny freckles on the nose, moles, blush
Parents: Unknown to her (grew up in a Muggle orphanage), Anton Bragge, Mona Bragge
Siblings: Ivanna Briarwood (Bragge), Ivory Bragge
Future
Career: Unspeakable at the British Ministry, briefly Arcane at MACUSA Arcane Department
Partner/Spouse: Sebastian Sallow Children: twins Silas and Slaine Sallow, Anya Sallow, Eloise Sallow
Primary background (will edit)
Background: Ennea Bragge comes from a long line of pureblood witches and wizards, but having grown up in a Muggle orphanage not much is known about her family. She transferred to Hogwarts in her 5th year, having previously been homeschooled (her magic more suppressed than encouraged) due to her unique magical abilities and the dangers they posed.
Personality:  Ennea possesses the shrewd mind and relentless ambition of a true Slytherin. Her intelligence is her weapon, resourcefulness her shield.  Though fiercely independent, she forges bonds of unwavering loyalty to those who earn her trust. A strong moral compass guides her, but it's tempered by a pragmatism honed by Slytherin House.  Though guarded, her deepest secrets-- her ancient magic, her hidden fears-- burn with an intensity that rivals any Gryffindor's courage.  Never underestimate what Ennea will do when she sets her sights on a goal.
Magical Abilities: Ennea possesses a unique form of magic that allows her to tap into ancient, nearly forgotten spells and incantations. She has a deep connection to the magical world and can sense magical auras and disturbances. Her ability to see and understand the hidden layers of magic makes her a formidable witch, but it also makes her a target for those who seek to exploit her power. In her 5th year she won a battle against a rebel Goblin Ranrok and saved Hogwarts in secret. She lost her mentor professor Fig in the battle. She contained all the repositories of ancient magic. Her famous reputation at school slowly started to grow.
Hobbies and Interests: Ennea is an avid reader and spends hours in the Hogwarts library, researching ancient texts and forgotten spells. She's also passionate about dueling and has honed her skills in Defense Against the Dark Arts. She loves to explore the outdoors around the castle.
Key Relationships:
Sebastian Sallow: Ennea shares a close bond with Sebastian, which has evolved from friendship to something deeper. She admires his courage and strength, and their shared adventures have created a strong connection between them.
Ominis Gaunt: Ominis is Ennea's loyal friend and confidante. She values his wisdom and unique perspective, and they share a deep mutual respect.
Challenges: Ennea grapples with the responsibility of her unique magical abilities and the dangers they pose. She is keeping a lot of secrets like ancient magic and Sebastian’s dark secret of killing his uncle and sometimes it become a burden. She's also navigating her feelings for both Sebastian and Ominis, creating a complicated love triangle within their trio.
Role in the Story: Ennea is the central character in their adventures, often guiding their decisions and actions with her knowledge of ancient magic. Her character growth is closely tied to her acceptance of her abilities and her relationships with Sebastian and Ominis. As they face increasingly perilous challenges, Ennea's determination and strength become vital to their survival. Ancient magic: A Double-Edged Sword
While potent and alluring, ancient magic is a demanding force. Unlike the controlled spells of modern times, it operates on a primal level, often reflecting the raw will of the caster. This translates to several key limitations:
Unpredictable Power: Ancient magic is notoriously difficult to control. The desired outcome is never guaranteed, with spells potentially backfiring or producing unintended consequences.
Emotional Volatility: Ancient magic is a reflection of the wielder's deepest self. Strong emotions, especially negativity, can corrupt the magic, twisting its effects and potentially causing harm to both the caster and those around them. Maintaining emotional control is paramount.
Hidden Costs: Tapping into such potent magic can exact a toll. Using ancient magic can leave the wielder drained, both physically and mentally. Overuse can lead to a dependence on its raw power, making it harder to utilize traditional, safer magic.
A Legacy of Power, a Burden to Master
Ancient magic offers immense power, but it comes with significant risks.  Those who wield it must be prepared for its volatile nature, the emotional discipline required, and the potential consequences of wielding such a primal force.  It is a legacy of power, but also a burden to master.

Written for @drarrymicrofic 's song prompt "New Romantics" by Taylor Swift. M | 569.
Tonight
They meet at the Leaky tonight, too. They always meet here every other night since March. It’s June now. A day before Malfoy’s birthday.
“Early birthday party, Malfoy?” Harry grins, beckoning for Malfoy. Malfoy is wearing a Muggle birthday hat which looks like it is rescued from a pool of sprinkles. “Nice hat.”
“Blame Pansy,” Malfoy throws himself on the seat next to Harry and gestures to where Parkinson is dancing with Nott, bodies glued together. “And yes, early birthday party, considering how I'm going to spend tomorrow with my parents.”
Harry winces. Lucius was sent to Azkaban after the War. ‘Spending tomorrow with Malfoy's parents’ can only mean one thing: Malfoy and his mother are taking a Portkey to Azkaban to listen to Lucius ranting about how degenerated the Wizarding World has become. The same thing they do every holiday, if what Malfoy accidentally confessed to Harry that one time when he was so drunk he almost fell into the Thames was the truth.
Harry doesn’t know why they keep doing it. It sounds so miserable. Holidays aren’t supposed to be miserable.
“At least, you’re going to have a happy party,” Harry smiles weakly.
“I'm not sure,” Malfoy laughs drily. Then, Malfoy huffs. He puts a finger on Harry’s forehead right where the frown is forming. “Don’t make that face. I didn’t say it was bad.”
“Birthdays should be happy,” Harry argues. He can’t help thinking of his last birthday, the one where he spends at the Burrow, contented and dreaming of a house with white fences and Ginny’s home cooked meal, just for her to break up with him that same night. Harry nearly destroyed 12 Grimmauld Place that day.
Malfoy just laughs. “Sentimental fool. Then make my birthday happy, can you?”
Harry tries to resist. He has tried the resist it for thousands times since the day they met months ago: Harry still not gotten over Ginny's ultimatum, Malfoy’s heart broken by his lying, cheating ex-boyfriend. Never has Harry’s resistance kept from crumbling for more than five minutes in front of Malfoy’s challenging smirk and glistening eyes.
“Tell your friends you need to go,” says Harry, throat dries. His fingers are aching to touch the pale skin of Malfoy’s throat.
Without breaking eyes contact, Malfoy takes his wand out of his sleeve. A silver bird leaps out of the wand, flying straight into Parkinson's direction. Crow, Harry thinks. Harry is not good at identifying birds, but somehow, he has never thought Malfoy’s Patronus could be anything but a crow. Intelligent, prickly if you offense it, friendlier than people think it can ever be. Sentimental.
“Done.” Malfoy grabs Harry’s pint and downs it in a go. Harry traces the gin dripping from Malfoy’s lips with his eyes. Malfoy chuckles. “Where?”
Harry swallows, suddenly nervous. “How about mine?” They have only ever been at Malfoy’s. Harry has never trusted anyone other than his closest friends and family to bring them to his house.
Malfoy’s eyes widen. Then, he smiles. “Lead the way.”
(*)
“This is madness,” Harry thinks as he kisses Malfoy. His hand on Malfoy's waist tighten.
They have been fucking since that first night. Harry knows it won’t last, this fucking at night and sneaking away before sunrise. He knows someone is going to get hurt.
Someone is probably Harry.
“I need to stop.” Harry tells himself.
Malfoy groans, sweet and lustful. And Harry stops thinking.

A Lesson in the Patronus Charm
Pairings: Professor!Remus Lupin x Student!Reader
Tumblr media
Plot: In the late hours at Hogwarts, you seek Professor Lupin's help to master the Patronus charm.
Warnings: age gap (reader is of age), fluff
_____________________________________________________
The Gryffindor common room was cloaked in a hushed stillness, the flickering fire casting dancing shadows on the walls. The soft snores of your fellow students echoed in the air as they peacefully slept, undisturbed by the weight that rested heavily on your shoulders. Your frustration had reached a boiling point; you couldn't master the Patronus charm, and the thought of facing the looming Dementors during the upcoming practical exams sent shivers down your spine.
Tossing and turning in your bed had proved futile, so you slipped out of the dormitory, determined to seek the guidance of the one person who could help—Professor Remus Lupin. Clad in your Hogwarts robes and clutching your wand, you navigated the darkened corridors, haunted by the ghostly glow of your own Lumos charm.
As you approached the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, doubt gnawed at your resolve. What if you were interrupting his rest? What if he was busy with preparations for the next day's classes? The anxiety swirled within you like a tempest, but the urgency to conquer the Patronus charm propelled you forward.
Gently, you rapped on the classroom door, the sound echoing through the quiet corridor. A nervous energy pulsed through you as you waited for a response. What if he didn't hear you? What if—
"Come in," Lupin's voice called from the other side.
Your heart skipped a beat, and you slowly pushed the door open. The room was bathed in the soft glow of a few candles, revealing Professor Lupin hunched over a desk strewn with parchment and quills. He looked up from his papers, a warm smile gracing his tired features.
"Ah, Miss L/N," he greeted, setting aside the papers. "What brings you here at this late hour?"
The warmth of his smile melted away your fears, and you stepped further into the room. "Professor, I've been struggling with the Patronus charm. I couldn't sleep, and I thought… I thought maybe you could help."
Remus' eyes softened with understanding. "Of course, I'm happy to help. The Patronus charm is a challenging one. Have a seat."
You took a deep breath, finding a chair across from his desk. As you shared your frustration and fears, Lupin listened attentively, offering words of encouragement. The flickering candlelight reflected in his eyes, casting a glow that seemed to chase away the darkness that clung to you.
With a reassuring nod, Remus stood and walked over to a small table where his wand rested. "Let's work on it together. Focus on that happy memory, and let the magic flow through you."
Frustration gnawed at you as you struggled to conjure your Patronus. Despite Professor Lupin's patient guidance, the ethereal form remained elusive, slipping through your grasp like elusive mist. Lupin observed silently, his eyes filled with encouragement.
"Focus on a positive memory," he suggested gently. "Something that fills you with joy."
Closing your eyes, you sought a happy moment, and his smiling face emerged, a beacon of warmth. As the incantation left your lips, a silver wolf materialized beside you, but the success was bittersweet as a tinge of disappointment lingered.
Lupin, however, said nothing, only offering a supportive nod. With a flick of his wand, he cast his own Patronus—a majestic wolf that joined yours in the magical space. The two wolves locked eyes, and without a word, they chased each other playfully, a dance of magic and connection that spoke volumes.
The room felt alive with the energy of their movements, and as the wolves settled down, Lupin's gaze met yours. There was a shared understanding in the silent exchange, a recognition of the unspoken emotions that had manifested in the form of their Patronuses. The wolves lay side by side, the air infused with a quiet, intimate connection that transcended words. In that moment, the boundaries between teacher and student blurred, a connection beyond the realms of academia. The air crackled with unspoken tension as your eyes locked onto Professor Lupin's.
"Love, in all its forms, shapes the Patronus," Lupin said, his voice a soft murmur that filled the quiet room. "It's not confined to one type. It's about the depth of the connection, the strength of the emotion."
The mention of love had cast a new light on the situation, and the room seemed to shrink as you both sat in the aftermath of his revelation. The weight of his words hung between you, a palpable connection.
Your heart thudded in your chest as you absorbed his words, realizing that the reason your Patronus took the form of a wolf was the profound love and admiration you held for him. The revelation stirred a mixture of emotions within you—gratitude for his guidance, a deep admiration for the man before you, and, perhaps, a sentiment that dared to flirt with the edges of romantic affection.
As if sensing the unspoken words lingering in the air, Lupin's gaze intensified. "And what about you, Miss L/N? What memory fueled your Patronus?"
You hesitated, then took a deep breath. "It's your smile, Professor. Every time I've struggled or felt lost, your kindness and your smile have been my anchor. I… I love the way you make me feel."
A soft, tender smile played on Lupin's lips, and he reached across the desk, his hand covering yours. The touch sent a jolt through you, and for a moment, the world outside ceased to exist.
"Love takes many forms," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "But we must tread carefully. The roles we play in each other's lives are defined by these walls and the rules they hold."
A moment of uncertainty passed between you, the forbidden nature of the emotions hanging in the air like the scent of a forbidden potion. Yet, in that moment, the walls seemed to crumble, leaving only the vulnerability of two souls drawn together by fate.
You locked eyes once more, the unspoken understanding lingering in the gaze you shared. "I can't deny what I feel, Professor Lupin," you confessed, your voice wavering with a mix of courage and vulnerability. "And I sense something in you too, something beyond the role of a teacher."
Lupin's thumb brushed gently over the back of your hand, and he sighed, a mixture of longing and resignation in his eyes. "Miss L/N, the path we're on is fraught with challenges. I won't jeopardize your future or my position as your teacher."
Your heart sank, but you nodded in understanding. "I'll graduate soon, Professor. And when I do, if you'll have me, I'll wait for you."
Lupin's gaze softened, and he nodded. "Patience is a virtue, they say. If it's meant to be, we'll find our way to each other when the time is right."
As the moon bathed the room in its soft glow, you couldn't help but feel a sense of hope mingled with the ache of longing. The forbidden romance had been acknowledged, the connection deepened, and the promise of a future hung in the air, leaving you both caught in the delicate dance between what was and what could be.
