Another Age

Pairing: Hermione Granger x Draco Malfoy

Authors note: This is just a short part I wrote, but I'm thinking of turning it into a longer story? Let me know if you like it and if you would like more parts!

Summary: Hermione Granger is forced back in time to the first wizarding war, and finds herself in a few predicaments she never thought she would.

Hermione watched helplessly as the dark forces surrounded her. Black figures moved impeccably fast through the air, the tang of dark magic burning her nostrils as she greedily inhaled a breath. 

She widened her stance: feet planted firmly on the ground, wand raised steadily, face drawn into a hard expression. If she was going to die, she was going to go down fighting. Memories flashed through her mind as quickly as a flash of lightning and the grip on her wand grew tighter. She would not let all of those memories be wasted on achieving nothing. 

The figures circled high above, diving down, again and again, to make contact with the soldiers on the ground. High-pitched screams filled with pure terror and pain rung through her ears. She watched as the sky began to fill with smoke and the air smelled of burnt flesh, rotting corpses, and the unmistakable tang of death. 

Green light flashed from the end of her wand, the lethal curse leaving her lips before she had the chance to blink. Three dark figures fell instantaneously and a wicked smile graced her porcelain features. 

She distantly heard the fight between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. The effects were earth-shattering, shaking the very ground they stood on and invoking a new form of punishment on the world. Blood ties were not meant to be broken; lovers were not meant to be enemies; evil was not meant to win against good. 

Hermione had a split-second awareness to shield and move out of the way of the swirl that collapsed the building behind her in seconds. The rumblings of fallen stone and debris sent a shudder through her body and dirt caked her already torn clothes. 

She could do this. 

She sprinted across the field, taking down soldier after soldier. They fell one by one on top of another, but there were too many for her to take all at once. She briefly thought of a spell she knew that could take down everyone around them, but that would include the Aurors from MACUSA and the ministry, and herself. 

She found herself asking if the lives of a few innocents were worth the lives of millions. Could she force herself to sacrifice herself and her fellow Aurors to save the world and rid it of evil? She wasn’t sure if it was pure stupidity or the dark magic that had begun to bloom in her veins that made her even consider it. 

Five figures surrounded her and she blinked back into the present. She recognized the one with short blonde hair, her wand trembling in her hand as she held it against her. Queenie. 

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Her voice was more lethal, deeper, and more tantalizing than she remembered. It had been affected by war and months of killing others, losing her sanity in the process. 

No one responded though sneers adorned their faces as they all silently agreed that they did, in fact, want to partake in this. 

“Very well, see you in Hell.” 

Red flamed from the end of her wand as she cast a crucio to the one on her left and blocked a disarming charm from the one on her right. She sidestepped a bombarda and cast conjunctivitis in retaliation. Their screams made a lovely melody as they clawed at their deformed eyes. 

Fiendfyre was beginning to encompass them, burning several Aurors and soldiers to the ground in the process. She cast a quick extinguishing charm around her to block the effect and swiveled to fire another crucio at an oncoming soldier. 

Hermione turned back to face Queenie. The witch shuddered and took a step backward, her wand still trembling in her hands as she faced the brightest witch of another age. Hermione cast an everte statum and watched as the blonde landed on her back, sharp bits of rubble digging into her precious skin. 

“You could have done great things. You could have been remembered on the right side of the war, and instead, you chose to fall victim to a few broken promises in the wake of love.” 

She snarled the words menacingly, watching terror and anger fill the girl's eyes. 

“If you had been in my position, you would have done the same!” 

“I have been in your position, and I could tell you I wouldn’t have! I would have sacrificed my life and wants in order to protect everyone else. I am willingly doing it now! There is not a single object or person that could convince me to side with evil for my own personal gain!” 

She felt her heart begin to flutter and tears well in her eyes. There was a time when she imagined a simple life that had everything she wanted. There hadn’t been time to imagine those things for quite a while, and she supposed she would never get another chance to. 

“You don’t understand, I love him!” 

“I understand perfectly.” Hermione raised her wand, the tip growing green yet again. Her words were forming on her lips, but before she could utter them fully, she was hit square in the chest with a crucio. Her throat became raw from the screaming and her body twitched and convulsed in unnatural angles. 

She had the vague sense of a large form hovering over her body, hissing began to surround her. She figured someone had sent the snakes after her and she was going to die of venomous poisoning at any moment, should they decide she deserved a quick and painless death. 

The hissing stopped. All of the noise, the crashing, the burning, the scream, stopped. The smell of burning bodies and tangible magic ceased the burning in her lungs. The world stopped spinning, and in its wake, a dark force emerged. 

From the edge of her vision, she saw white blonde hair peeking over the top of black clothing, which sat atop a massive black figure. Even from a distance, she knew what was approaching. The world began to spin again and the battles resumed. There was the unmistakable feeling of slimy scales curling around her legs and a flick of a forked tongue against her ribs. 

She managed the strength to lift her head and saw Nagini curling around her feet, striking at the soldiers surrounding her. She looked left to find the dark dragon continuing its descent, fire slipping from its jaws and the heat reaching her even across the great distance. 

Hermione ground her teeth together and forced her body to move, the crucio having ended when Nagini struck her attacker with quick rage. Her body protested as she moved into a kneeling position and the muscles in her arm screamed as she raised her wand again. 

She felt the rush of air as wings flapped above her and fire began to spread. She matched the deaths from the beast with her own string of curses, wands flying and soldiers collapsing. Queenie had made an escape and was lost amongst the flood of soldiers making their way to the beast. 

Hermione locked eyes with the figure atop the dragon and smirked. Grey eyes met hers, and a shudder of pride racked through her sore body as she turned back to face the incoming calvary. With both of their wands raised and a beast at each of their sides, they began to purge the world of sins.

Omg your newt scamander fics are amazing!! Literally amazing! I was wondering if you could write one when the reader and newt are cuddling and he brushes her thighs (sweet affection nothing sexual) but discovers the reader had sensitive thighs. She’s embarrassed but he thinks it’s cute! ❤️‍🩹

Sensitivity - Newt Scamander

A/N: Hi! I’m glad you like my Newt writings! I hope this turned out alright. Sorry it’s so short.

It was getting late in the night and you were exhausted beyond belief. You had spent the day running errands and doing chores while Newt worked on his book and took care of his creatures. By the time you and Newt finished eating dinner, you were ready for bed. Except you hadn’t really seen Newt that much today, so you opted for sitting with him on the couch while he finished up on some writing.

Your legs were draped over Newt’s lap as you leaned your head against his shoulder. You watched Newt as he scribbled notes onto a scrap piece of parchment. He used his magic to hold open a book in front of him, occasionally flipping the page for him to continue reading and taking notes.

Eventually your eyes started to droop closed and you began drifting in and out of sleep. The weight of Newt’s arms resting on your legs was oddly comforting, lulling you even deeper into sleep. That is, until Newt innocently began lightly tracing his fingers across your thighs. He didn’t think anything of it, just assuming it’d be a comforting gesture. But then you jerked your legs back and squealed, scooting away from your lover.

“I-I’m sorry,” Newt quickly apologized. “I didn’t mean anything by it, I swear!”

Your face was a bright shade of red as you tried to avoid Newt’s apologetic eyes. “No, you’re alright.”

Newt tilted his head with slight confusion. “Then what’s wrong?”

Your face grew even redder as you stuttered out, “M-my thighs a-are sensitive.” Your voice faded out at the end.

Newt could see how embarrassed you were, but he thought it was so cute. He wasn’t sure how he didn’t notice this tarot of your’s sooner. “Don’t be embarrassed, N/N,” he laughed lightly, pulling you back over to him and draping your legs over his lap again. “I think it’s cute. Now get some rest.” Newt pressed a kiss to the top of your head. “You look exhausted.

I understand that people are upset Hollywood dropped Jonny Depp from all of their movies, but oh my god he did not fit into Fantastic Beasts. Why did he look like he was plucked out of Edward Scissorhands without a costume change?? If I’m going to be honest none of the characters look they’re from the 1920s, but Depp didn’t even look like he belonged in the franchise. Personally I like Mads Mikkelsen. He just fit the vibes so much better, and he actually looks like someone Dumbledore would fuck

Look, you can love Jonny Depp all you want, but not every A lister works in all the roles they’re given and that’s ok. I’m not saying Depp is a bad actor, I’m just saying I didn’t like him in Fantastic Beasts.

And if you don’t like my opinion that’s fine. Jenny Nicholson also agrees that Jonny Depp didn’t work in Fantastic Beasts and that’s good enough for me

[ilikelookingatthings]

I have seen the third fantastic beasts and i have some thoughts to get out.

First...no wonder the fantastic beasts part was in small print. They are there but the dumbloir secert abd grindalwald wascfront and center.

I didn't mind the recast if johnny depp. He wasn't my #grindlewald not my gtindlewald anyway.

I'm glad that thatcfinally properly soelled out Dumblediir and Grindlewald were romantucalky involved before.

They iggically commited.

My issye though is it wasn't a strong enough emotional core. For Harry and his friends i cared about then doing mundabe styff qbd their rekationships and their conflict even when they weren't facing a darklord.

Alit if the drama was emitional. I understood why Harry was attached to dumbledoor when Higwarts was a safe place from the dursleys and how when he is around he jept alit jf bad stuff at bay..with shit hiting thecfan when the old man isn't around.

I still don't understand why Newt is this attached to Dumbledoor.

With Ron and Harry there was that firstcfruendship and genuine care that ron and hihis famiky showed to Harry. With drana xoming from Rin caring for Harry but him feeling one if nany and fadung intinthe backgroubd due to his brothers. Hiw that bounced off Harry's fame. The situation with Ginny's crush on Harry and her almkst dying. How harry liked Cho but she hated Cedric who died saving Harry. The lowkey rascism against non muggle folk giving excuses for purebloids to look diwn on people. Dobbje anand his fight to free houselves who are so brainwashed they think its bad to be free. The romance at times.

Now i'll admit im not a big fan of the second fantastic beasts. Grindkewald js suppoused to be scarier than vokdemirt. The hitler ir worst of wizards. Many if the timeline points felt like retcons or maje no sense considering the Harry potter series and the new characters they intriduced they used in weird ways.

That said they didn't use ANY if the emotional conflict the previous movie set up.

Queenie went rogue to follow Grindlewald since he promised to have wizards and muggles allowed to marry. She nonconsentually spell drugged our baker and ignored his valid concerns about how its illegal and in america people were put to death for less(the weird room of memory goo in the first movie). But she can read minds kr emotions so we don't get HOW she was convienced to defect.

They just have her regret it all of a sudden.

Now don't get me wrong. I want and love the engame of this couple.....but theykind of ignore how a couple clashes to become stronger and to rebuild trust. I love this couple due to their chemistry andhow good the actors show they are smitten...but action wise Queeniedidnothing to protect Creedalence, had to be cornered by our Baker andneeded to be convienced to leave...not to mention brainwashed our baker and acted like he was the problem for not wanting to get married and was hurt even ththoththouththoththougththoththouththoththough it was understandable he was unsettled by being brainwashed.

More over as fun as the new attack battle nerd was...wasn't the bajer commited to saving queeny in the last movie? What was the point of convincing him in the first place if he came that easily? How did Grindlewaldconvince a mind reader?

More over....the biggest gripe is they didn't properly use the death of miss lita strange.

I may have thought having that weird 'conflict'that Newt was writen to be engaged when hus girlfriend is Tinawhen it was actually hus brother was dumb. But if yourgoing to fridge a lady of that caliber at least use her deaths impact on the story properly!

They set up that her brother, newt and newts brother and finacee were all involved but we don't see tge impact it has on anyof them. She was one if awjward Newts first friends. She saved some of them and was the love if newts brother's life. Yetthe onlyone who was shiwn to care washer brothewho had the memory if her ripped out of his head...ysveing told about the affect by Queenie.....so the brother lost all memory of heher due to Queenje not keeping her mouth shut.

Maybe it was implied some affect from the bro when he stared a little longer where Grindkewald disappeared...but even the baker had a stronge reaction to Grindlewald being described as having done nothing wrong! The finceeends up going to a wedding at the endif the mivue yeyet no lamenting he will never get to see the love if his life again? He'll never get married to her now?

Also...I'm just going to say it. I like inclusion and feminism. Equality for all and all that...but i am VERY confused about the wizarding word. This is literally during world war 2 era correct? Where alot of things go wrong. I get Europe being more progressive....but it feels like its trying to erase the sexism and rascism problems and it unsettles me that a black lady was incharge if the american wizarding world in America...nit because i didn't like the inclusion....but because it kind of implies to me that she was there for inclusion but also it made her seem incompetant and raises ten times more questions on how the muggleworld and wizard world interacts.

America was, is and still has alot of lingering rascism problems. The main society in America AND Europe has alot of sexism problems even today....let alone during the world war II era. Many of the problems or blindspots came from old white guys who were raised with many of those beliefs lingering or in the forefront who weren't able to see ithers perspectives or wereit was looked diwn apon to hang out with people who could give those perspectives with society making it hard for those perspectives to be in the forefront or get higher in society.

Yet one of the main leaders in America seems to be a afrucan american lady yet muggkes and wizards can't marry abd you get put to death easily?

I enjoy the hell out if her...but does she get harrassed and cornered by regular muggles? Does her subbordants treat her worst in the muggle public? Did wizards just let slavery happen?

Is there no sexism in Europe since a lady could be incharge if the wizarding world.

We saw the new attack wizard get harrassed in public but ut was a set up for rmthe baker and not real whenharassment like that really happens. How woukd that have worked in real life? Wouldsgw be alliwedto defend herself against muggles or would she had had to ender to nit get antiwitch people ir risk discovery of the wuzardibg world?

I love the baker to bits but he was raised in the regular muggle world with non of that brought up!

And the attack wizard is fun but we barely got to see her for fruendships with the group! Why was she against grindlewald? We know she is a fan if Newt book and she is alot if fun...and you shouldn't need a good reason to be against war or rascism. I know. But she is a character in a movieand if i'm going to be invested i need to know why.

I think they mentioned her being familar with Tina and motivated by Queenie....but we don't see them interact. She stops that one lady from being assasinated but we don't see her try to talk to Queenie.

More over the only real man of color is tge brother strange but he looked like a dead traumatized fish after getting his mind wiped! And didnt get to talk the rest of the movie with Grindlewald implying he would side with the pureblood wizards. The actor played him well but he was given nothing to really do. We don't know why he stayed on the goodside or if he ever remembers the sister and his not doublecross ended with asking what took him so long. It was a little funny and the scene was cool but why did he stick with the good side?!

Also why didn't he and Newtsbrother have anytalks when they both lost Lita?

Another gripe is why do they keep writing out Tina? Mind you Tina took a while to grow on me. She gave the impresion kf a newbie at her job even though she was good at it and was only demoted because she handled trying to save creedance sloppily.

But i know they made a better version for him to be the nephew and not the brother of Dumbledore. But the reason i cared about Creedance at all was because Newthad baggage because he failed to save a gurl with a similar pproblem and while NEWTdidn't seem to care about adults much...kids and aninaks qrehis thingand ththaththat was a good mix. But also because TINAcared about Creedance.

She put her job on the line trying toget himout of a abusive situation just to think he died alone, betrayed and in pain in the first movie. Shewas offscreen forthe majority of the second movie because she was trying to track down Creedance. Newt had been trying to find her as well so that was a plotpoint. She had wanted to save Creedance.

Yet Tina was written out AGAIN? Even though Queenie is her room mate/sister? Even though she has one of the strongest reasons to care and feel responsable for Creedance?

When she had one of the strongest reasons to want to save Queenie and how to convince her?

More over itwas sloppy hiw she qas written out. Thus ladybug was demoted in the first movie. In the second she was in the fueld. Failed tofind Creedance and her iwn sister defected and many people died. She was barely listened to in the first movie. WHY THE HELL WOULD SHE BE PROMOTED TO A HEAD POSITION AND BE UNABLE TO COME HELP SAVE QUEENIE?!

More over she realized in the second movie the fiance stuff was a misunderstanding. Why wouldn't she keep incontact with Newt?

Instead we git more screentime for a lady assistant who oogled Newt inthe second movie! Someone who i wasn't a big fan of because NEWT's appeal is he is so socially awkward he prefered animals to people so him actually making friends has a impactic. We understood why many ladies wouldn't be interested in him but also why Tina eventually had him grow on her. So a assistant not mentioned ir appearing inthe first movie but suddenly appearing as always being there for the other two?

Why should i be sympathizing with her unrequited love when she hadn't told him all this time and he never hidhaffections for Tina?

If felt like they weretrying to pull a Neville Longbottom. Someone unsuspecting becoming cool...but it feeling kind of shallow?

Also was the German head wizard in on it or not? He seemed in on it then genuinely shocked and dazed at the zhombie horse creature.

It gives off a weird feeling when it comes to us knowing what the Nazi's did and there not being much establishment on what those symbols mean or what the others wizard leaders want. Also is the wizard incharge of germany affected by the issues that affected the muggle Germans that made muggles suseptable to Hilter after world war 1? and their bias to look for someone easy to blame?

Also...was Dumbledoor's brother against him and grindkewald because they are Gay? Or because Grindlewald was a pureblood nazi? Are gay people allowed to marry in the Wizarding or not?

And as much as i like the wedding.....why was Queenie and the Baker allowed to get married? I thought the American wizarding word was a little backword and not affected by Europe?

Its not like the astral bowed to the muggle baker that would blow everyone's minds.

Though Dumbledoor was really funny.

Some favorite scenes were Newt and his brother. They didn't adress any emotional stuff like how newts friend andhis bro's fiance is dead. Or references to the mini conflict in the second movie where the bro wanted Newt to try socializing more. Join the ministery which is a stable job.

Newt was really upset by it because newt loves his profession and his bro asking that made him feel like his bro didn't take what NEWT wanted seriously just like all the other people who looked diwn on Newt and his profession. NEWTstance was understandable....but hewas also childish about it because while newtwas right ti defend hiw hefelt hecoukd not sesee hus brother was trying to help and was concerned about him even if his attempt was misguided.

I kindof wish theyhad talked that out a bit more. But you could feel that brotherly chemistry even if the bro gotkidnapped intheworst kjdnapping scene i had ever seen.

Also...is Dumbledoor and Grindlewald still in love? Its unclear.

It felt like they won inthe end....but its also confusing because isnt Grindkewalf supolpiused to be even more terrifying and widescale than vokemort? I like happy endings but if grindkewald is going to be causing that much death in the future...why have him lose? Or did he already cause the deaths offscreen?

Also what happened to Naggine the kady to turned into a snake, Creedence'sgirlfriend and voldemorts future lacky?

this vague word buildingwirked well in Harry potter. The little bit built on each other and it was a controlled seperate environment...but its weirdwhen they are adults and we shoukd get more info.

If Newt was just focused onaninaks and stumbked into things its one thing buthe us ckearly more involved and alot of other pieces just raise more questions!?

That said this was still more entertaining to watch than the second one. The tri scorpian alone was worth it.

But seriously...therewas so many opportunities to have a emotiobal connection with the characters that they just didn't take.....Why?!

A secert society under our noses is fun....but they made a big deal about muggles not finding out in the first movie as a main priority...yet there are fights infront of muggles? Potential nonexplained fight dimension or not.

Why did Creedence go BACK to Grindlewald after Dumbledoor told him he lied?

Why are they treating Tina and Newt like the best couple when they haven't built their relationship properly since the first one?!

After theassistant was being pushed to make me feel bad for her? Wa i suppoused to laugh, feel pity or be creeped out when she called Newt her husband?

How does Tina feel about Creedence still unable to be saved?

Its a very good looking movie. Alot of the delivery was nice and fight scene were fun. But its hard to turn off my brain when the harrypotter series was pretty consistant in comparison. And this has issues even keeping this seperate from the regular Harry Potter series.

The fun parts are still fun. But i don't think I'm over thinking too much right?

A Stranger with a Familiar Face | Chapter One: To Start Anew

Stars Series | A Stranger with a Familiar Face

It was a gray day in Paris, rain threatening emptily to fall from the dreary clouds. He’d hoped for the sweet smell of fresh rain on the pavement, the dainty fragrance of flowers the market nearby was selling, or, most fittingly, the intoxicating scent of freshly baked bread - but all that met his nose was garbage and dirty gutters. It, surprisingly, had him missing New York, and Gellert Grindelwald was quite certain that nothing would make him miss New York.

With a sigh that went unnoticed by his Acolytes, Grindelwald glanced pensively around the street Rosier had recommended. The neighborhood, centrally located in the Boulevard Haussmann Les Grand Magasins De Paris, was wealthy enough to impress Purebloods interested in the cause, yet unimportant enough to remain under the radar. Blood thirsty as she was, Vinda Rosier was proving to be a valuable asset. 

Sauntering down the mildly busy street, the hungry eyes of his Acolytes watched him, patiently awaiting his decision. The man took his time, reveling in his returned power, reveling in being in his own skin once more. After such a significant drawback in America, Grindelwald was finally feeling like his former self, finally feeling like he was back on track. His heterochromatic, all-knowing eyes settled on a particularly fine house in the middle of the lane, and he gently tilted the end of his cane towards it. His Acolytes descended on it like a pack of wolves.

As if conjured, a hearse drawn by two black horses turned the corner, drove coachmanless down the cobbled street, and settled in front of the chosen apartment. Grindelwald stood alone beside it, watching the street, waiting patiently. Two green flashes came from the windows above. Not a soul looked up.

Grindelwald hardly stirred as the door reopened. Nagel and Krafft emerged, each holding one end of a sleek black coffin, Krall and MacDuff following along with a second. He watched on with hardly a trace of emotion on his face, not daring to show any pleasure in the Muggles’ deaths. This was a necessary evil. The hearse continued down the street, and Grindelwald led his followers back inside the now vacant apartment.

“Yes,” Grindelwald mused, walking from room to room in surveyance. The couple had been well off - old money, most likely - and their home would be very enticing to Purebloods, once they de-Muggled it. “This will be suitable after a thorough cleanse.” His eyes traveled to each of his companions as they made themselves comfortable in the apartment. They settled on Nagel, who stood at attention as their gazes met. “I want you to go to the circus now,” he ordered gently, stepping closer to the dark-skinned man. “Give my note to Credence, begin his journey.”

Nagel nodded, leaving the apartment. Thoughts of Credence Barebone replace his presence.

“When we’ve won,” started Rosier, filling the unsettled silence and pulling Grindelwald from his calculative thoughts, “they’ll flee cities in the millions. They’ve had their time.”

“We don’t say such things out loud,” Grindelwald quickly intervened, stopping the supportive smirks before they got out of hand. Their supremacy was a dangerous ideology, one that could easily turn potential allies against them. “We want only freedom,” he preached. “Freedom to be ourselves.”

Rosier watched him with a pensive respect. “To annihilate non-wizards,” she added.

“Not all of them, not all,” he assured, his eyes finding Abernathy’s for a moment. “We’re not merciless.” 

The American wizard was the only one among them that was not Pureblood - in fact, he was quite the opposite. Born to two No-Majes in Upstate New York, Ulric Abernathy had always been torn between two worlds. While more easily accepted into Wizarding society than most other places, namely Britain, Muggleborns in America faced their own challenges set in place by MACUSA’s strict secrecy laws - once they are old enough to control their magic, all trace of magic is erased from their non-magical family’s memory. Since he was eleven, Ulric has had to juggle two separate identities, hiding the biggest part of him from those who had raised him. The assurance of his family’s safety had been the biggest factor in convincing him to join the cause. 

Grindelwald’s gaze flitted back to the others, easily picking up on the air of confusion surrounding the Purebloods. “The beast of burden will always be necessary,” he concluded, and all parties looked satisfied.

A soft cooing close at hand caused everyone in the room to stiffen. The Acolytes tried not to catch their leader’s eye, fearing punishment for not having cleared the apartment completely, but Grindelwald looked only towards the closed door at the far end of the room - a nursery.

He felt an all too familiar prickling on his skin, as though struck with a sudden chill, and though they did not know it, he would not be punishing any of his careless Acolytes. It seemed as though they had stumbled into a happy accident, though Grindelwald wondered if it was an accident at all. He took a deep breath as he started towards the room, preparing for the moment of judgment he knew to come.

The child made not a sound as Grindelwald gently pushed open the door. Carrow, a woman more prejudiced towards Muggles and Muggleborns than anyone else in the room, followed closely, poorly hiding the excited look in her eyes. She knew that if Grindelwald decided to do away with this spawn of dirt, he would turn to her, and she would oblige all too gladly. She felt her confidence growing as the child looked up at her fearfully.

But yet, as Grindelwald crouched before the young boy, the hardly-year-old child looked into his mismatched eyes with nothing but curiosity. Everyone in the room held their breath.

Grindelwald watched the boy for a long time, attempting to manipulate his abilities as a seer to look into this boy’s future, though he knew that’s not how his abilities worked. Surely there was something, he told himself. He would not have gotten that chill if there was not. He would not have chosen this home.

The child’s wide blue eyes stared back into the man’s heterochromatic eyes, and slowly, gradually, his left eye, only his left, darkened from a soft blue to a dark, dark brown, mirroring the man before him. A grin broke out on Grindelwald’s face.

“He is a wizard,” Grindelwald announced, rising.

Carrow’s smile fell into a sneer, and she pulled out her wand as if she’d been ordered. “Then he is a Mudblood,” she hissed, sizing up the child, “and he deserves to die.”

From the back of the group, Abernathy lunged forward, MacDuff’s reflexive grip on his wrist being the only thing that kept the Muggleborn from drawing his wand. Carrow cowered slightly in shock. She knew, of course, of his blood status, but the reserved man had never before reacted like this to her blatant and repetitive degrading of his kind. She’d never thought he had it in him, but the look in his eyes now was almost murderous.

In the midst of the action, Grindelwald had bent down to retrieve the child, with whom he now stood strongly. His face was hardened and dark, and while not quite as murderous as Abernanthy’s, it set fear in Carrow’s bones as she turned back to face him. “We do not speak that way of our own,” his voice boomed, drawing all eyes back to him.

Carrow’s voice was much quieter, much less confident as she next spoke: “Our own?”

Grindelwald’s eyes narrowed. “Is he not a wizard? Is not Abernathy?”

The witch was blinking rapidly, stumbling over her words. “Yes - yes but - ”

“But nothing,” Grindelwald countered almost calmly. “You will remember your place, Carrow, or you will be reminded of it.” Carrow watched him in shock, frozen, unsure of how to proceed. Grindelwald spoke again before she could form a decisive thought. “I think it is best if you leave for now. Return only when you remember the Greater Good that we are fighting for.”

After a moment of processing his words, Carrow backed away from him, hastening out of the room, taking the path as far from Abernathy as she could. Grindelwald surveyed the room as she departed, watching the reactions of his followers to determine which of them would favor her ideals to his. His eyes lingered on Rosier, but she watched him only with devotion.

Finally, his eyes met Abernathy’s, and he ushered him forward. With no hesitance, the American wove his way through the group and stood strongly before his master. The child sat on Grindelwald’s hip like a christened prince, one sure to inherit the entire world. “Sir?” said Abernathy.

“As the one among us who will most closely relate to the child, I will leave him in your care,” Grindelwald declared. “You will raise him, I will teach him, and when he is old enough, he will join our ranks. I have no doubt that he will be a valuable asset, as you are, Abernathy.”

Abernathy took a moment to respond, but eventually he nodded. He had not considered fatherhood in a long time, not since he had to break the heart of the No-Maj he had been in love with even before he knew he was a wizard. But, as Grindelwald placed the recently orphaned child in his arms, he took on the responsibility as swiftly as he would take any of Grindelwald’s orders.

“What will we call him?” Rosier piped in, and as she did, Abernathy was reminded that he would not be raising this child entirely on his own. The weight on his shoulders lessened a little.

In response, Grindelwald looked deeply into the child’s mind, using legilimency to sort through the fading and undeveloped thoughts of a toddler. After a moment of silence, he emerged with an answer. “Alderic Beaufort.”

Rosier’s eyebrows furrowed. “Alderic Beaufort?” she repeated slowly.

Grindelwald nodded. “It was the name his parents gave him, and it is the name he will keep.”

“Forgive me,” Rosier started again, and Grindelwald considered her with patience, though many others in the room were beginning to lose theirs. “If he is to start anew with us, would it not be fitting if he were to have a new name as well? Perhaps your name,” she offered, then with a glance at Abernathy, quickly added, “or Abernathy’s.”

Grindelwald chuckled at the flatterence, stepping closer to the child in Abernathy’s arms, watching him as he responded to Rosier. “It matters not what he is born or thrust into, it matters only what he chooses to become. And we can only hope that, like us, little Alderic will choose the Greater Good.”

Has the Octotrio ever watch Newt!Mc taking care of the kelpie? Like that scene in Crimes of Grindlewald?

I think they would, considering they did seize Ramshackle for a short time and have gone inside the suitcase.

The boys are in awe at something they only heard stories about as children. Not to mention, seeing you handle it with such care and ease.

Azul would offer the space in Octavinelle's sea area for the Kelpie to roam for a price, but was frightened when the Kelpie spit water at him. He would rather watch from a far than up close, fearful that the kelpie may try to eat him in his merman form.

Jade would be interested in learning more about the Kelpie and wonder how you are still alive when Kelpies are known for eating humans tricking them into rides across either a lake or river. You tell him how you did it with out a charm, but instead a bridle.

Floyd would be ecstatic about seeing childhood myth be true. He would want to jump in with you when they observed you take care of it. From that moment on, Floyd would want to go swim with you and would drag Jade along.

Rewatching the Jenny Nicholson video on Fantastic Beasts 2 and the JKR antisemite allegations and all her confirmed literal openly nazi friends certainly explain the part of the movie- which i did see the movie okay this just made me think of this moment, i'm not only getting this secondhand- where the villain claims his mission statement is that he wants to stop the Holocaust...??? and the main characters are just like "but it's wrong to interfere with muggles, magic needs to be a secret". about the fucking Holocaust.

like "the crimes of grindlewald" are just that he wants to stop the Hollocaust and to convince you he's evil about this they code him to be a nazi?? like vilian imagery shorthand you know. and have him kill random guys, even though his actual goal is to stop the Holocaust. and the jewish character Queenie joins the metaphorical nazis who are really just people who want to stop the ACTUAL nazis, and her joining is framed as a bad thing....

like....like that's very. hmm that's very. huh.

hold on because your thing with alecto carrow & the carrow twins……… you really did something there

listen okay i could go so crazy about them . i have so much lore trapped away in my brain . but i am going to summarize so fast and quick bc they drive me crazy….

general info abt both of them : they r born in japan bc the carrow family moves there post grindlewald and their mom dies and when she dies they move back to the england but they r poor af after everything so pureblood society looks down on them for being traitors. cue them fighting the entire wizaridng war to be given respect and seen as a genuine member of the sacred 28 and using intimidation and violence to do so… a if i cannot be better than them i will be so much worse moment . their dad is normal and loves them very much they just choose to be evil like that. their mom was a sweet angel also and everyday i cry over her even tho i invented her to be dead . whatever

alecto has a weird misandrist complex in which she hates men but is also performing for them all the time , a man hating lesbian who also can’t escape using the patriarchy to validate her skills and ambition. she loves spiders bc they are matriarchal . she bases her worth off of how well she appeals to others and has so her whole life to the point she barely has a sense of self . she wants to kiss lily evans on the mouth and she worships her like an absolute angel it’s serious and vicious . the few scraps of herself she has left are all about knowledge. she is obsessed w language and translation and tries to learn literally any language she can ever . despite this she still can’t give herself a voice . she wants barty crouch jr dead for the crime of being a man and a degenerate which like fair of her . evan n reg r chill tho bc game respects game . i think if she got the chance to explore Life she’d actually choose to become a teacher like voldemort Made her become , but she would be actually pretty good tbh. her and barty regularly brawl in the teachers lounge. alecto kicks his ass. in the modern college au in my head they are regrettably roommates and each conversation they have sets gay lesbian solidarity back 15 years . alecto is studying classics and women’s studies as a minor …. ik feminism is a big part of her character but chat do not reduce her to this u don’t get it … she has a deep connection to lady macbeth and the movie the handmaids tale . here is her vibe :

and amycus is his mothers son who does whatever alecto wants him to bc he just wants to be by her side. they are so aggressively co dependent . he is obsessed w magical plants and herbology and his favorite thing in the world is a magical venus flytrap he keeps in his dorm that evan keeps putting random drops of blood into the mouth of . his dream career would probably be using magical plants to make new medicines n poisons n such . hogwarts resident weed dealer . therefore he n barty r actually chill . he just misses his mom like so much 😭 he is consistently in morning over the life he could have had . he’s pretty good friends w everyone he’s not like a loner but he is lonely deep in his chest…… of course bc alecto is his sister #feministwomenloveamycuscarrow . every carrow is linked to an insect in my head and amycus is a praying mantis . …. he has the same capability for cruelty like he also is on the field w alecto during the war but like he’d rather be gardening :/. modern college au he’s probably studying biology and is the rlly menacing president of the gardening club. and u think this means he is secretly sweet but he’s literally evil. him n reg have a crazy friendship going in in which they do the craziest romantic shit but it is completely platonic. i’m talking like candle lit dinners . in my head he has a weird situationship w rabastan (who is another story….) but also i have a *whispers* oc….. who in the fic i have planned for them in my head (which i will never write) he ends up w and his name is maxx <3 but i will never talk abt ocs on here . i have some shame. amycus would follow alecto to hell if she asked (he just wishes she would stop going the- *car runs me over*)

here’s amycus vibes

i have so much more i could say abt them . there is so much in my head they have such a deep and complex story … i will take any excuse to yap abt them . anyways they are both gay and one day i will write the alectolily sugar mommy au in which lily is the sugar mommy bc she’s a super famous author n alecto works at an antique book store doing translation n repair <3333 and it’s completely accidental lily keeps paying to borrow these super old books and eventually she just pays for alecto to come over and help her research and then one thing leads to another . and alecto is guffawed when she realizes. amycus. thinks it his hilarious. i think her and lily would have an academic rivals to loves thing going on in canon and in like Any school setting but also just in general. they could be 5 years into their relationship and still competing to be the smartest . i think there is rosekiller alectolily double date hilarity potential. also have a lot of thoughts abt them paralleling to the rosier twins but what do i know … i will leave that to the masters ….

anyways that was my yapping . hope someone felt enthralled .
