Hello!? Thank you so much!!!! This outfit is so Ellie!! I love it!! 💛
November's outfit
Finally we have Ellie Hopper @thatravenpuffwitch and she is so cute! I got to play with so much texture and brushes and have fun with her. The skirt very much screams Weasley with the patchwork and the cosy fashion works so well with her.
8th March 1897. The bi-weekly newsletter bringing you the latest news and gossip at Hogwarts for witchcraft and wizardry written by Winona Rosewood - this is the entry for this month's @hp-12monthsofmagic challenge
CELEBRATING WITCH MONTH
This month of March we want to unofficially celebrate the wonderful and wickedly talented witches found within our own school of witchcraft and wizardry, so wizards take a step back while today I will dedicate this week's newsletter to several ladies that I believe deserve the utmost attention. Unfortunately, the small amount I can write is only a small part as they are complex and people should take the time to get to know them.
AN ENTREPRENEUR IN HER OWN RIGHT
This may be my bias as Victoria Summer @whatwouldvalerydo, my dearest and darling friend to place her first but it would be outrageous if I didn't. This sweet and fair Gryffindor has a business mind screw on top. Her perfumes are to die for and I have never smelled so heavenly. I could dedicate a while page to her but I must share it with others.
BRINGING THE FIRE TO HOWARTS
Ema McGiliguddy @kc-and-co entered Hogwarts with fire and style. Literally. This adventerous Slytherin has all eyes on her and certainly the Newspapers have been lying as she is far from the frail girl they make her out to be. I do watch her in anticipation for what may be next on her path of adventure.
A WITCH OF HER OWN MAKING
What goes on behind this inquisitive Ravenclaw's mind is anyone's best guess but Persephone Gould @cursebreakerfarrier is certainly multi talented. A prefect I would love to have and daring in her choice of past time endevours like fencing to name but one.
MORE THAN JUST A STYLE ICON
Despite my past article about her, Carolyn Nyberg @lifeofkaze I do find she certain qualities to be admired. While her beauty is so great that she makes the beautification potion envy there, she is so much more with mind enviable too.
THE ALCHEMIST'S GOLD
Though brief our interaction may be through Delilah Sweets, Violette Durand @cursed-herbalist it was made clear to me that she is going to go far. In spite of her agreeable nature, there is an ambition to create more paths for women in alchemy.
A NEW AND GORGEOUS LIONESS
Io Gordon @drinkyoursoupbitch, Head Girl and the latest addition to our wild Gryffindor brood. She is certainly welcomed with open arms, at the very least from me.
AN ASTRONOMICAL MIND
Now while I don’t have much to do with Héloïse Perrault @the-al-chemist, I heard much about her. This French witch is proving herself of wit and intellect certianly befitting of a Ravenclaw. Her starry mind will certainly bedazzle everyone at Hogwarts.
A SOPHISTICATED POTIONEER
Lastly, I present Adelia Selwyn @thatravenpuffwitch whom I have to admit that I deeply admire her skillful hands as all I can watch with awe and wonder how she can brew potions so perfectly.
Thanks for the tag @lifeofkaze ! I get to marry Cecily Selwyn 🥰
Thanks for the tag @jerzwriter ☺️
You have a good one over there... 😏
And here I can't say the same...
I've got Ferit Korhan - since he's such a major red flag (and no matter how cute and talented the actor Mert Ramazan Demir is), the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT! I'D NEVER EVER MARRY THIS MAN.
And if like the character Seyran in the series I was forced into marrying him, I wouldn't even wait long enough to be charmed by him (or became a victim of Stockholm syndrome), I'd run away first chance I got...
Situated on the shores of the Ulvefjorden, the docks of Skalafell are home to the Arcano Trading Company. Founded by the Arcano Family a long time ago, it now is lead by Sigr Stormborne. He was a close family friend with the previous owners Annika and Tyr Arcano. Upon their death in 2007, it passed to him.
Employees include shipwrights, sailors, fishermen, and merchants. Those who take jobs on trading routes risk it all crossing the ocean to visit trading ports with wizard populations. Only the hardiest of Vikings join as the strength required to maintain ropes and sails during rough storm tossed seas is incredible. This job is dangerous as many longships are lost to the sea.
Skalafells main export and food source are fish, which is a less dangerous job than the trade routes. The longships don’t venture as far from Skalafell. There are also master wood craftsmen who work as shipwrights. They build and repair the longships. Sigr himself started as a shipwright before he switched to a more dominant trader job as he took over the company.
@kathrynalicemc I love your fictional wizard Viking city! Here are some NPCs you’ll find wandering around Skalafell.
Asterin Arcano - Expert Swordsman and Tracker. Captain of the Skalafell Guard.
Ronan Sato - Magizoologist, Fisherman, and Husband of Asterin.
Vesta Lochan - Leader of the Wild Hunt and Owner of Lochan’s Leather Co. (from boots to jackets and quivers to wand holsters, Lochan’s Leather Co. has what you need!)
@lifeofkaze I’m glad you enjoyed it! This is how I imagine it went…
Psycho Killer (Anything’s Possible)
A/N: This was written for the @hp-12monthsofmagic January theme: Anything’s Possible (if you’ve got enough nerve). Warnings: Sirius Black slander (I’m sorry but everyone thinks he’s a murderer 😩)
July 1995 — Auror Office, Ministry of Magic
“You two have a lot of nerve thinking you can just ask Shacklebot to put a couple of Junior Aurors on the Black case.”
“Shut it, Dawlish,” snapped Tonks.
Ellie gently elbowed her pink-haired friend in the ribs and smiled politely at Dawlish.
“Is Auror Shacklebolt in, then? We have some theories and strategies we’d like to present to him,” she said in her most professional voice.
John Dawlish was the worst example of an Auror in the Ministry’s pocket and ending up on his bad side was the last thing Ellie needed right now.
During Fudge’s post-Tri-Wizard Tournament briefing, the Minister had informed them that Barty Crouch jr. was likely working as a “lone wolf” and that there was “no cause for alarm”. Regardless, it had been all hands on deck for the Auror Office. Ellie had spent the last week either being sent on wild goose chases around the countryside or stuck at her desk buried under a mountain of paperwork. She wasn’t sure which was worse.
Ellie had promised her grandad that she would keep her head down and pretend to disbelieve Dumbledore, but with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s most devoted follower still at large she had to do something useful.
“Listen, I’m not saying I think you’re incompetent,” sneered Dawlish, completely ignoring her question. “But the fact is that you are inexperienced, and if we’re going to capture Black we need seasoned Aurors working on this investigation. Shacklebot is the best we’ve got and if he says Sirius Black is in Tibet then Sirius Black is in Tibet.”
“I know. But the Black investigation has stalled, surely you can see that, and Tonks and I have reason to believe that he may be in the country at this very moment.”
“And what makes you think that?” Auror Dawlish smiled sardonically.
“We would be happy to share our research with you after we’ve been put on the case,” Ellie replied cooly.
A long exasperated sigh came from the cubicle next to Dawlish as Marlow Sinclair stood up from her desk. Auror Sinclair was a dark-haired woman in her 40s and one of the only other female Aurors employed by the ministry.
“Give Holmes and Watson here a chance, John,” she said. “Shacklebolt’s in his office. Good luck.”
“Who and who!?” Dawlish asked Sinclair loudly.
Ellie followed Tonks who walked determinedly toward Kingsley’s office, barged right in without knocking, and dumped their plans across his desk.
“What exactly are these?” said Kingsley in his low voice, glancing between them, seemingly unfazed by their dramatic entrance.
“These,” said Ellie as she straightened the maps and papers on Kingsley’s desk so he could properly see them, “are how we capture Sirius Black.”
Just as they had rehearsed, Ellie and Tonks launched into an explanation of their plans, speaking quickly for several minutes until Kingsley held up a hand to stop them.
“This is good work. Excellent, really. But there is a question I must ask you both.”
“Go ahead, sir,” Tonks said.
“Do you believe Albus Dumbledore when he says that You-Know-Who has returned?”
Ellie felt her heartbeat speed up, but she kept her face neutral as she quickly weighed her options. She had known Kingsley all her life and was basically his protégé. He was a smart man and Ellie couldn’t picture him actually buying into Fudge’s garbage. But he was also highly respected in the Ministry and as their boss, could still sack them if he felt he needed. Then she thought about her grandad’s warning: “Don’t make trouble for yourself. Any Auror not following the herd will be out.”
“Of course not,” Ellie said evenly.
“Absolutely not,” Tonks echoed her sentiment.
“Well done, both of you. That was very convincing,” Kingsley said with a casual smile. He got up from his desk and wordlessly waved his wand at the door behind them.
“It’s the truth,” Tonks said, subconsciously placing her hand on her wand.
Ellie said nothing. Was this some sort of test? Reluctantly, she reached out with her Legilimency and gently brushed Kingsley’s mind. She felt no hostility, only Kingsley’s usual calm mixed with something that felt like amusement.
“I’ve been talking to Alastor Moody,” he said with a nod to Tonks before settling his brown eyes on Ellie. “And to Lugh Hopper, just last night before he left for Nepal with your brother.”
“My grandad? But I was with him last night,” Ellie blinked in surprise. She had so many questions.
“In fact, he called me just minutes after you left the pub. I hope you don’t mind I finished your nachos,” he chuckled. “We met with Professor Dumbledore shortly after. We know that you want to fight outside of the restraints of the Ministry, so myself, Lugh, and Mad-Eye have recommended you.”
Ellie let out a breath. Everything was about to change.
“On behalf of Albus Dumbledore, I would like to offer you both a place with the Order of the Phoenix,” he smiled proudly. “Oh and about Sirius Black… there’s something you should probably know.”
Thank you @that-scouse-wizard @flareshogwarts @usernoneexistent @lifeofkaze @whatwouldvalerydo for helping me to keep myself entertained in isolation 🖤Here are the six characters you guys suggested!
I wanted to do this with these drawings when I drew them like a year ago but didn’t know how but now I have an app!! So enjoy this sad Devon Dies AU. I kinda did a video with them before but it sucked. Thanks to @endlessly-cursed for showing me the app ily
