Oh, I love happy endings! I mean, I presume we're done. Or is this "putting us in mortal danger" situation gonna be a regular thing? - Ron Weasley (after finding out Quirrell was dead)

CC Headcannon: Astoria Malfoy wanted to make sure that Scorpius didn’t have the same attitude as his family had towards muggles and muggleborns so she taught him a lot about muggles as a kid. After she died, Scorpius wanted to continue learning about them because he felt that it was what his mum would’ve wanted and he felt like it was one of the only things he had left of her. This fuelled his passion for muggle studies. He learns about all kinds of muggle things and gains a *very* big hyperfixation on muggle music and brings his new wired earphones with him everywhere.
When him and Albus later declare their undying love for each other, Scorpius is invited round to dinner at the Potter house. He’s really nervous and starts rambling about the most random things and eventually settles on teaching them all about muggle music. Harry turns out to have a very similar taste in music to Scorpius as they’re both 80s nerds and Harry lived with the Dursleys for ages so knows his fair share of muggle music.
They talk for hours and hours about Queen, Nirvana, The Killers etc and Albus pretends to understand what they’re on about but Harry reminds Albus that he’s tried to teach him many, many times about the wonders of muggle life, but he’s always refused.
When the boys go back to Hogwarts, Albus finally agrees to listen to muggle music. Albus ends up loving it and makes a playlist of all the songs that remind him of Scorpius.
Albus then sends Scorpius the link to the playlist as a Christmas gift and it turns out Scorpius did the same for him and it’s so f-ing cute!! They both end up putting their earphones in and listening to each other’s playlists for hours on end and Harry and Scorpius continue to bond over their similarities in muggle music taste and it’s like the cutest thing ever <33

So, my fandom wife @spotsandstains mentioned that Philosopher's Stone says explicitly that Quirrell's turban stinks of garlic...
WHAT IF that's because after Voldi got a SEMBLANCE of a mouth and maybe even connected gastric bypass (?) he decided, "fucking Merlin's balls, I need me some garlic bread like STAT!!" and Quirrell now has to cook every night because his Dark Lord demands garlic bread for supper?
Like being steered by a really creepy Ratatouille?

The Babysitter
Tumblr media
Severus Snape had a conundrum.
In the past, an invite to a weekend of conferences at the International Potions Convention in Germany would not have posed any form of problem for him.
But that was the in the past. Not now.
Now, he had an entirely new set of considerations when it came to such travel.
Namely, Harry.
Glancing up from his desk, he glanced across at the almost-seven-year-old boy, who was content to lay in front of the fireplace in his office and draw.
Yes, there was the small matter of his adopted son and whom might take responsibility for the boy in his absence.
Severus’ brow furrowed. Since Harry had come into his care over a year ago, the child had, seemingly, grown very attached to him. And though Severus was loathe to admit it, the feeling was fast becoming mutual.
He and Harry had not spent a night apart in that time. Let alone two.
Yet Severus could go, he knew. It was simply a matter of choosing the most appropriate caregiver.
And therein lay the problem.
Dipping the tip of his quill into the inkwell, the potions master began to write a list of possible contenders.
Albus Dumbledore.
No sooner had he written the name down, he immediately struck a line through it. The old man would talk in nonsensical riddles to the child all weekend and fill him full of sugary treats which would no doubt ruin his teeth.
No.
Severus did not wish to return to find his son had become an unstoppable ball of energy. Or worse, a raving lunatic.
Albus Dumbledore was definitely not an option.
Minerva McGonagall.
Severus sighed. A perfect solution under normal circumstances, but he quickly remembered that the deputy headmistress had left the castle that weekend, to visit family.
Filius Flitwick.
He pondered it for a moment but rapidly ruled it out – Harry was already taller than the charms professor, and knowing the boy’s penchant for finding trouble, it was likely a recipe for disaster.
He didn’t even bother to add Pomona Sprout’s name to the list. Last time he had entrusted Harry to her for less than half a day, the boy had ended up alone in the Forbidden Forrest.
Setting down his quill, he sighed.  Perhaps he should ask the boy where he’d like to go?
With a shake of his head, Severus swiftly dismissed the idea. He would only end up having to make not one but two trips to The Burrow, where copious amounts of tea and rock-hard cakes would be forced upon him as he sat surrounded by those snot-nosed Weasley brats. He simply did not have time for such atrocities.
It really was a conundrum – at this rate, the Dark Lord might be a serious contender for the title of babysitter, Severus thought bitterly.
There had to be another choice. Somebody he hadn’t yet thought of.
Who would Harry be happy to stay with? And most importantly, who could he trust?
And then, it dawned on him.
He left early the following morning. He would, of course, travel by floo to the convention, but Severus Snape had never been one for tardiness.
And as he walked back across the ground of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he cast a glance over his shoulder at the caretaker’s hut.
Albus Dumbledore may have been an eccentric old fool who talked in nonsensical riddles most of the time, but there was one thing he often said which Severus found himself agreeing with.
He would trust Hagrid with his life.
In memory of Robbie Coltrane 1950 – 2022

Hogwarts Houses As Academia Aesthetics
Gryffindor: Chaotic Academia
• Spilled coffee, tea stained pages, studying messily, waking up just before the test is starting due to being up all night studying
Slytherin: Dark Academia
• Late night walks, buttered toast, ancient artwork, watching ballet on a date and holding hands in anticipation
Ravenclaw: Light Academia
• Sitting by a lake whilst reading, punctual, writing letters, reminding people to study so they won’t be up the whole night before the test
Hufflepuff: Romantic Academia
• Writing love letters/poetry, classical music, getting excited over art themed gifts, wanting to watch ballet on the first date
(I kinda based Hufflepuff on myself because my best friend got me a mug with ‘the creation of Adam’ on it and it was my favourite gift for Christmas this year)

It would have made more sense to send Quirrell to pick up Harry in his first year. He was the former Muggle Studies professor and current DADA professor. After Snape, who actually knew Harry's aunt Petunia and was a half-blood, Quirrell was most qualified.
