I just saw someone post really cool fanart that they made of dorlily (which is dorcas and lily if you didn't know) and someone in the comments said "when did we start shipping dorcas and lily? I'm lost" and it made me really think about how this fandom, the marauders fandom spesifically, has this sort of hive mindset. It's like every opinion must be collective or favoured by a large majority. "when did WE start shipping" someone posted a fanart of a ship they like. it is not a WE matter. it is a them matter and has nothing to do with you, so what does that even mean. And I think this hive mentality really contributes to how toxic this fandom has become, why its so hard for people to accept headcanons without criticizing the creators for having those headcanons, why there's constant unnecessary ship wars. we all do not need to agree. we all do not need to have the same opinions in this fandom, in fact its making the situation worse. i am begging you all to start thinking about how to behave in fandom spaces.

I thought of Christian being a defense against the dark arts guy... There's no way he's teaching Charms 😂

Yes! DADA was my first thought too. I briefly thought maybe Transfiguration and then he can have a fierce rivalry with Divination's Professor Wolff (he honestly talks about W14 like it's worse than the Grim). 🤣

Lestappen blurb time (aka. how I coped while watching Ferrari during FP3):

"We need to talk," hissed Max as he slid into the empty seat next to his target. He slammed the piece of parchment down in front of Charles, who blinked lazily at his irate tone. "About you hogging the Quidditch pitch."

Charles sniffed and peered down at the tiny writing on the parchment: 'I, Professor Vasseur, do hereby give the Slytherin team permission to practice before class from Wednesday to Friday, owing to the need to train their new Seeker.'

The Slytherin Quidditch captain gave him an indifferent shrug. "Perhaps you would like to take it up with Professor Vasseur."

Max glared at him. "That's three out of five weekdays!"

Vasseur may wear a jolly little smile, but the Potions Master was a die-hard Slytherin at heart and Charles knew it.

"With your math skills, no wonder you're so good at Arithmancy." Charles beamed at him, ignoring the twitch in Max's jaw.

"The rest of us need to practice too," he snapped.

"Then book the pitch early, Captain." Charles rolled his eyes, as he flipped open his copy of Advanced Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Max groaned.

"What now?"

"I left my textbook in the Prefects' bathroom."

Charles wiggled a single eyebrow at him.

"Don't start -" warned Max.

"I wasn't going to say -"

"On top of your bathrobe."

It was Charles' turn to groan, but he still begrudgingly pushed his own book towards the centre of the table so they could share. "Max, I swear people are going to find out -"

"Well, that would be a damn shame, wouldn't it?" grumbled Max, nudging the textbook closer to himself, only stopping when Charles rapped his knuckles with a sharp tap of his wand. "Daily Prophet headline: Fierce Quidditch rivals caught sucking face in Prefects' - OW!" The pointy end of Charles' wand found his sternum, singeing the edge of his Gryffindor house tie.

Max turned to glare at him, but suddenly found every eye in the classroom trained on him.

Their instructor crossed his arms. "Anything you'd like to share with the class, Max?"

"No, Professor Horner," he mumbled, still glaring at Charles who was doing his best to hide a smirk.

The Head of Gryffindor House frowned at his student. "Then perhaps you would like to demonstrate the progress you've made on the Patronus Charm." Christian gestured for him to stand.

Max straightened his tie (making a mental note that Charles owes him a new one) and took a step into the aisle.

"Make sure it's a powerful memory," emphasized Christian. "The most positive one you can summon."

Max couldn't help but spare a sideways glance at Charles. He smiled. "Last May, " he whispered to Charles, "me holding the Quidditch Cup in front of your face."

Charles' hand twitched dangerously around his wand, but he refrained from cursing Max, clearly preferring not to spend those hard-earned Quidditch practice hours in detention with Professor Horner instead.

Max raised his wand. He had fully intended to summon the memory he had described to Charles - but a clearer, brighter, more recent memory came to his mind unbidden:

The two of them. Five hours ago. After placing an Anti-Alohomora Charm on the door to the Prefects' bathroom. Charles laughed after some of the soapy water splashed into Max's eyes. The joke was on him though after Max leaned in to kiss him - an effective distraction - and then unloaded a handful of colourful bubbles right between Charles' parted lips. His Slytherin rival had sputtered, batting away the offending green soap bubbles (the colour really did match his eyes) and lunged at Max -

"Expecto Patronum!"

A silver lion burst forth from the tip of Max's wand and roared, drawing impressed gasps from their fellow fifth years. His Patronus then pounced across the length of the classroom to the sound of scattered applause.

"Well done!" praised Christian, who looked more than a little impressed, a rare admittance from their usually unbothered Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. "A fully corporeal Patronus is beyond even N.E.W.T. level. Twenty points to Gryffindor."

Max sauntered back to his seat, but not before shooting Charles a smug grin. Almost on cue, his Patronus made a beeline for Charles, circling twice around him before shaking its mane playfully in front of the Slytherin. Charles rolled his eyes but petted one of its giant paws - as much as one could pet a non-solid entity. The lion purred in response before making a final leap out the window and out of sight.

Charles shrugged, but his lips quivered to suppress a smile; the dimples gave him away. "Not as impressive as mine," he whispered.

The warmth from his breath lingered against Max's cheek.

Max cleared his throat, turning away to regain some composure. "My lion is bigger than your horse," he sniped back.

"It's a thestral, not a horse!" corrected Charles indignantly.

-

FYI @cupidskissx @alestire @strawberryfieldsandflowers and anyone else I have rambled to recently about Hogwarts Lestappen, Crucio is permissible in dire situations 🙃, but it's never morally appropriate to hog the Prefects' bathroom. I have standards, you know.

Please reblog if you feel the same. Many people seem to think snape awarded points biasedly all the time when that is NOT the case at all.

Going to rewatch all the HP movies in honor of Robbie Coltrane.

As an adult I definitely view many things differently than I did as a kid. Especially since I read the books which I'm also rereading.

In the first film, I hate this scene. Especially as someone who loves kids and has been a teacher. People aways say its fine because Snape favored his house (someone has to since Slytherin is so hated) and they think Slytherin is always cheating, but at least in the books, if you look at the actual facts, Snape doesn't award a single house point in the series EVEN for Slytherin and takes a total of about 270 in ALL of the 6 school years that we see. 12 in PS/SS. In PS/SS, McGonagall took 150 points from her own house and 20 from Slytherin. If anything the other teachers take more points than Snape throughout the series. Also, according to one of JK Rowlings interviews Snape also took the most points away from his own house. And the mostly minor point deductions he did to Gryffindor were hardly game changing, for every Gryffindor point he deducted for whatever reason was most probably regained that same day by another student. And we never really see the Professors awarding Slytherin many points like they do to Gryffindor. And since Snape doesn't award points even to Slytherin, we can assume they are fairly earning the ones they won since its other unbiased professors who are awarding them points. They were winning the House Cup for many years straight for a reason and only began losing after Harry entered the fold in which he continuously gets extra points and unfairly so.

But what I hate the most about this scene is not only did Dumbledore let Slytherins believe they had won, but he let them celebrate their apparent victory, complete with decorations that he put up. He sat there knowing he was going to wait until literally the last moment to pull the rug out from under them. Dumbledore pretty much just dropped massive loads of points on Gryffindor when it was impossible for anyone to gain anymore.

Slytherin rightfully won. It was unfair for Dumbledore to award points for a school competition knowing that the points he was awarding had nothing to do with the school or the rest of the students. He knew that no other students had the opportunity that Harry and his friends had. He knew that only Harry really could have gone up against Voldemort as he's the child of prophecy. Awarding them points was straight up cheating. And unfair to the rest of the children. Harry may have helped save the Wizarding world, but he broke school rules to do it (which is fine) but under normal circumstances a different student would have had points deducted for breaking those same rules and from a school competition standpoint he shouldn't be awarded for something that has nothing to do with the school and it's competition. He can be rewarded in a different way that doesn't involve house points and the end of year house competition. Slytherin shouldn't have lost. Dumbledore calculated the exact points needed for them to win on purpose.

IDGAF that pretty boy Garreth is a Weasley-> that bitch is a Slytherin. A Gryffindor would have got that damn Fwooper Feather himself and snuck to Honeydukes in spite of his aunt. (How Harry snuck to Hogsmeade without a signed form in third year.) His dedication to his potions was a blatant display of Ambition, and the way he got us to do his dirty work was undeniably Cunning.

And while I have you here agreeing with me because I’m not wrong about him, I shall leave you with the controversial topic to yell at me about: Sebastian is a Ravenclaw (no, not because he likes books) because he has a thirst for knowledge like no one I’ve ever fucking seen and his curiosity about the damned relic was so strong that he spiraled in the catacombs!

He went behind Ominis’s back so many times for the sake of learning Dark Arts! And it wasn’t Ambition that drove him because he didn’t want to use that power for himself.

I do have other points but I started this as a joke post and it’s currently 3am where I live but know that if there was equal love for all four houses, the Devs would have sorted Sebastian into Ravenclaw. But we simply can’t go without a Slytherin companion, now can we?

#me in the Gryffindor common room when Garreth walks by: First if all-fuck this guy! Second of all-#am I associating dark academia with Ravenclaw and therefore romanticizing Sebastian being in that house… perhaps you make a fair point #but if you think I’m wrong you can say all you want but do know that I am an ignorant brick wall #hogwarts legacy #garreth weasley #sebastian sallow

Hogwarts House Points System

“Right then,” said Professor McGonagall, looking up at the hour- glasses on the wall, “well, I think Potter and his friends ought to have fifty points apiece for alerting the world to the return of You-Know-Who! What say you, Professor Snape?” “What?” snapped Snape, though Harry knew he had heard per- fectly well. “Oh — well — I suppose . . .” “So that’s fifty each for Potter, the two Weasleys, Longbottom, and Miss Granger,” said Professor McGonagall, and a shower of rubies fell down into the bottom bulb of Gryffindor’s hourglass as she spoke. “Oh — and fifty for Miss Lovegood, I suppose,” she added, and a number of sapphires fell into Ravenclaw’s glass. “Now, you wanted to take ten from Mr. Potter, I think, Professor Snape — so there we are. . . .” A few rubies retreated into the upper bulb, leaving a respectable amount below nevertheless.

It is so tiring that these kids keep getting house points for non-school related things.

And McGonagall could not make it any clearer that this is nothing more than a Gryffindor cash grab. With Luna being an afterthought and all.

It would have been fairer to simply give back the points Draco and co. had unjustly taken as inquisitors. But I guess that is not dramatic enough for our heroes who are rewarded once again for being idiots.

Gryffindor house is literally the worst.

Playing Sebastian’s quest line is the silliest thing when you’re playing with your own twin sister 😭

Sebastian: “You can’t keep me away from my own twin!”

my sister, 😏: I would have started a war, man. Nobody would be safe.

me: What?

my sister: I nearly died from our separation last summer!

me: you literally just got up and left me because you wanted to go back to the UK and study abroad at Oxford’s University.

her: …….

her: it’s not like I didn’t regret the decision. Shut up

meanwhile:

Solomon: I swear next time I catch either of you using such magic, I will inform the headmaster immediately.

my sister: Aw sweet! We can go to Azkaban!? 😃

also my sister, attempting to use Crucio on Solomon: Would you like to see what else I could do? Anything to be sent to Azkaban. 🫦

me: no, you won’t be sent to Azkaban. Only hufflepuffs can go there but they aren’t imprisoned, they’re completing a quest.

my sister: damn it! . . . Well, I suppose that’s fine. Either way we’re going to win… with the power of friendship! 😘

Do you think Gary would’ve been a different type of person if he didn’t have his nan’s support?

This is such a good question my god 😶 I’ve been sitting here for a good minute trying to think because it could go in so many directions lol but I’ll try my best with my answer.

So we have to remember the reason why his nan was so supportive, it was because Gary’s father dipped out of his life. Ever since then, I’m sure nan knew that Gary wouldn’t do well growing up without a confident and optimistic adult figure. Of course, this is where she steps in.

If his grandmother wasn’t in the picture, Gary would be SO insecure. Even in the game, we can tell that this poor guy gets his insecure moments and it’s evident that it affects him and his masculinity. So imagine Gary only having his mother around who’s working long extra hours to support her son and barely has time to see him. Gary would’ve had severe abandonment issues.

Dare I even say that with all that insecurity, Gary would simply be a sad, unstable, and resentful man. Again, in the game, we have seen his annoyed/angry outbursts for anything that piles up on him: drama or new guys coming in. Growing up, there’s a chance he would’ve had arguments like these with his mom - you know, teenagers being teenagers.

So overall, yeah. Gary wouldn’t be this cheeky overly confident man that we know and love if it wasn’t for his nan. And I’m honestly sure that Gary thinks this, too. That’s why he always mentions her and it’s because he’s so thankful for rescuing him from ever having a terrible life.

Was his life perfect? Absolutely not. He got bullied and developed body dysmorphia all because his nan supported him and kids are super mean ☹️ but he grew up to being what his dad couldn’t be 💛

#I love this ask my god I’m emotional 🥹#Gary got extra gryffindor points when he said he has a close relationship with his nan #we love a family man 😭😭😭😭#I hope my answer did justice but please put your input people #love island game #litg #love island the game #litg gary

I would love to see a Seb x Gryffindor (fem) piece 🥹 I feel like we don’t get enough love through HL fanart 🥺

Oof I know! Tbh my first HL character was a Gryffindor because I’m a Gryffindor but then my second OC I made her a Ravenclaw (who is Eleanor, the one from my fic). Funnily enough, I decided to use Eleanor instead of my Gryffindor OC because a) I wanted to challenge myself by writing my non-house and b) I thought a Gryffindor MC would be too saturated, since Gryffindor is quite a popular house (if not the most popular) because of HP and whatnot. (At least that’s what I think? I could definitely be wrong, though. They’re certainly glorified in the HP series.) Ironically it turned out to be quite the opposite. Maybe I’ll make a piece with my Gryffindor OC x Seb. I’m so in love with Elly now, though, I’d feel like I’ll be cheating on her lol

#answered #tbh my Gryffindor OC looks a lot like Elly tho #I had to like #switch consoles at some point so I almost just remade my Gryffindor oc #into my Ravenclaw one #so they’re very similar appearance wise #I also have like a thing for light-haired coloured/dark hair couples #So honestly my Gryffindor OC if I end up drawing her will also have dark hair lol

with HP being canonically set in the 90s, it is very likely that some of the muggleborn students were weezer fans

#harry potter #hp fandom #hogwarts headcanon #hogwarts #slytherin #gryffindor #ravenclaw #hufflepuff #i imagine you can hear someone at least humming ‘say it ain’t so’ in the gryffindor common room at any point in the 1994-95 school year

Student I'd already been chatting with: Is it okay if I have my laptop in your class today? Me [laughing]: I'm a millennial. Of course you can. You don't have to ask. Other student: Whoa, wait...you're our guest professor today? Me: Sure am. Him: Me: Him: ...how old are you?
