Okay this might be an individual childhood experience. But does anyone else remember nerf guns?? Like the battles??

Because now all i can imagine is James and Sirius Discovering them in second year. Maybe they see an add about them somewhere?? And James, being spoiled as he is, gets enough for the four of them by the time Christmas rolls around, nerf battles in his gigantic backyard!!

Sirius pretending he hasn't been shot for the umpteenth time, Peter complaining that he's cheating, Remus being a secret mastermind and playing dumb, James wrapping a bandanna around his head and pretending he's at war with his bestfriends??? I mean I could just go on and on...

#imagine if they brought them to hogwarts #minnie would retire the minute a nerf bullet flew across the great hall #by spring everyone has invested in a nerf gun #there are on going fights between slytherin and gyrffindor #nerf bullets are found hidden beneath desks in case of a secret attack #they're officially banned from school by third year #james potter #marauders #remus lupin #sirius black #marauders era #the marauders #marauders headcanon #peter pettigrew

A Potions Mishap

Pairing: Seonghwa x f!Y/N

Tropes: Hogwarts au, Slytherin!Hwa, Ravenclaw!reader, hurt/comfort, fluff, mutual pining

T/W: injury with a knife, feeling dizzy/sick, f word

Words: ~4k

my masterlist

You normally enjoy Potions class, you really do. But, today, the thought of spending the whole afternoon in the dungeons was filling you with a sense of tediousness and dread. Not only was it a perfect summer day- one that you couldn’t even enjoy because of double potions, but it was also exam season- so, even if you hadn’t had class blocking up the whole day, then studying for your N.E.W.T.’s was enough to ruin anyone’s mood. Add a granola bar for every meal for the past two weeks and barely four hours of sleep from the night before, and the equation spelled a truly annoying and exhausting end to your school day.

Noticing the sour look on your face, your friend and fellow Ravenclaw housemate, Hongjoong waved his fork in front of your face. “Earth to Y/N.”

You wrinkled your nose at him. “Whaaaaat?”

“Have you seen the time? We have class in 5 minutes, and – did you seriously not eat anything, again?”

You blinked down at your where your plate should be. Instead, you saw your Potions text, riddled with notes in the margins and covered in pink highlights. To the side sat your plate of food, untouched.

“Ah, shit.”

Hongjoong began to open his mouth to lecture you before you cut him off, “Just save it- as if you haven’t forgotten to eat because you also got caught up in some project at the table!”

He quickly closed his mouth and gave you a stern smile instead. “At least I don’t do it every day. From tomorrow onwards, if you don’t eat, I will force feed you, I swear.”

You stuck your tongue out at him and finally pulled your sandwich towards you. Still, you only managed a few bites before it was time to go.

You sighed as you walked down the stairs. You were really not looking forward to – before you could even finish the thought, you were attacked from behind. Gasping, you almost lost your balance down the last step, but the perpetrators steadied you. You shot a look of annoyance over both your shoulders at the two banes of your existence.

“Aw, noona. What’s got you sighing like that?” San asked.

“Or should we ask- whoooo?” Wooyoung wagged his eyebrows at you.

You huffed as you pushed them both off. “As if. Try to kill me again, and I’ll hex you so bad you won’t be able to sit your exams, I mean it.”

“Oh, noona. Please hex me. PLEASE. I really don’t wannaa take these fucking N.E.W.T.s.” Mingi added.

You pushed ahead of the three Gryffindor idiots, hiding your smile. “Why do I even bother?”

A low chuckle reached your ears. “I ask myself the same question every day, Y/N.”

Your heart skipped a beat, but you managed to keep your features cool as you turned your head up to Seonghwa who was holding the door to the classroom open for you and the guys. You managed to say hello and thank him before the blush could really bloom on your cheeks and across your nose.

Hongjoong wagged his eyebrows at the look on your face as he took his usual spot next to you at the worktable. He was the only one who knew of your crush on the Slytherin.

It had all started in 6th year. Up until then, Potions had always been taught to you with the Hufflepuffs. As such, you, and Hongjoong for that matter, had never had this class with the Gryffindors or the Slytherins. However, at the N.E.W.T. level, there were barely enough students to fill a single classroom. This is when you first came across Seonghwa in a classroom setting. Even though you were friends with his “band of pirates” as they liked to call themselves, you had never seen or interacted with Seonghwa outside of the group. Here in class, San and Wooyoung were paired up at a workstation, as they had been their whole Hogwarts career, and the same was true for you and Hongjoong. Though Mingi and Seonghwa were from Gyrffindor and Slytherin, respectively, they had never been partners before 6th year. Even though they had always been friends, House always came first. Even you had always paired with Hongjoong, even though you were both close with Yunho who was a Hufflepuff who you had shared Potions with for 5 years.

“I’m telling you, Y/N. We gotta glamour your face or something, you’re as red as a tomato.”

You looked at Joong in horror as your hands came up to cover your cheeks. “Is it really?”

It was at that moment that Seonghwa reached his table and took his seat in front of you two. “Everything alright?” He looked between the two of you.

“Yes, of course!” You laughed awkwardly as you hit Hongjoong on the arm. It sounded a bit too high even to your ears.

Seonghwa’s smile was stiff on his face as he nodded and took his seat, just as your professor started the class.

“Alright class. New orders from above. Today, we are going to be striving towards inter-house unity!”

As the class gave each other unsure looks, the false cheery smile slipped off Professor Nott’s face. “I know it’s annoying guys, but please find a partner from a House that is not yours. And before any of you try to be sneaky- yes, I’m looking at you Mingi- if you already have a partner from a different house, then find a new one! We’re going to be working on the Shrinking Solution today, and you all know that needs two hands for the chopping and stirring that needs to happen at the same time.” The class groaned. “Do not kill me; it was not my idea,” he held up his hands. “Why the Headmaster decides at the very last minute of your academic career to shake things up; I’ll never understand,” he muttered under his breath, not quite successfully.

You stood from your spot with your bookbag, unsure of where to turn. But, before you could even take a breath, Mingi came around your corner of the table, jostling you, and wrapped his arms around Hongjoong. “Dibs!” The Ravenclaw was quick to shrug out of it and yell and start wagging a finger at him, but Mingi just stuck his tongue out at San and Wooyoung across the aisle who were throwing their arms up in the air and giving him the finger.

In the chaos, Y/N didn’t see Seongwa scowl at Mingi as she steadied her balance yet again.

You chuckled and started to make you way over to the Gryffindors you were most comfortable with, before San and Wooyoung quickly and efficiently swapped partners with the Slytherin boys that always sat in front of them, Changbin and Leeknow.

You frowned and quickly let your eyes dart around the whole classroom. Everyone was paired up, except for Seonghwa. He sat calmly at his spot, twirling a quill between his long fingers, almost as if he was waiting for you.

He sensed your gaze and looked up at your from under his long lashes.

“Wanna be my mine?”

Even though you were quick to surmise the true meaning of his not-so-innocuous question, you couldn’t help your eyes from widening as your heart heard a different meaning.

“S-sure, I’ll be your partner.” You took Mingi’s vacated seat quickly and avoided his gaze.

As the class settled, Professor Nott started his brief lecture on the potion. Your knee bounced under the table. You were so aware of every line of Seonghwa’s body, just inches from yours. Did you and Hongjoong sit this close, also? You had truly never noticed. The space between you and the Slytherin felt so heavy with static. Were you moving too much? You stopped shaking your leg, but that lasted two seconds, before your fingers started drumming against the desk.

Seonghwa suddenly leaned forward from his slouched position to place his forearms on the table next to where yours were. His fingers covered the movement of yours.

Your breath caught in your throat, but you kept your eyes on the board, as you felt him lean his head towards yours.

“If you’re so nervous about this potion, Y/N, don’t worry, I’m the top of this class. I’ve got you.” His whisper was a tickle against your ear.

Was it just you being delusional or did all his words have double meanings? You smirked back even as your heat raced in your chest at both his proximity and his teasing words.

You met his eyes briefly to retort back. “Actually, you’ll find that your tied for that position, with me. So, maybe it is I that will be carrying you.”

He smiled back, and your eyes caught in a moment that lasted what seemed like forever, before it was broken by the sound of scraping chairs.

You both blinked before also standing to start your potion. Pink dusted both student’s cheeks, unbeknownst to the other.

“Oh also, class! I know you know this but be careful when you’re chopping the cowbane. Even the juice on your knife is very poisonous blah blah, get to it!” You smiled at Professor T’s cavalier attitude, even though you knew he cared very deeply for his students and educating every generation of students he could be available to.

You and Seonghwa quickly settled into an efficient routine. It was almost like you could read each other’s minds; without even speaking, you both divvied up the tasks in a way that made sense to you. He had already chopped the shrivelfigs and added their juice to the cauldron, while you intuitively prepared the next steps by mincing the daisy root and preparing the hairy caterpillars as he heated the cauldron gently.

You were surprised, as you had never had such chemistry with another Potions partner before. You always had a hard time doing group projects, because you thought you could just do better on your own and were often irritated at having to go at someone else’s slower pace. You and Hongjoong had always worked well together, with the minor bumps caused by his temper tantrums and your passive aggressiveness, but you had thought that he was the best a partner could ever be. As you watched Seonghwa vigorously stir the potion, a step you always hated because your arm always got tired, you realized you couldn’t have been more wrong. You both naturally gravitated towards the different aspects of the potion that you favored and preferred. It was honestly euphoric to be working together like this, and the academic in you was singing with joy.

You were working on juicing the leeches when the heat of the room started getting to you. The many fires under the cauldrons made it so that the dungeons were sweltering. Somewhere in the room, Wooyoung started screaming that he had accidentally added rose petals instead of daisy root, and the whole class groaned because any first year knows that combining rose to blood from anything made for the most disgusting smell. The fumes started to make you dizzy, and you were suddenly regretting only eating two bites of a sandwich.

Seonghwa paused in his shaking of the rat spleen you had just handed over, barely a tremble to your hand. “Are you okay, Y/N?”

You blinked at him, surprised. “Yes..?”

His eyes looked into yours deeply. You were not used to someone noticing when things were barely off with you. This little bit of dizziness was nothing.

“If you’re sure.” He didn’t look too convinced as he turned to stir the cauldron clockwise.

As you started working on the cowbane, these thoughts took another turn. Not only was he the best partner you had ever had, but he was also so caring and asked after your wellbeing! Your crush reared its big head before you could stifle it down.

You were carefully slicing the second piece of cowbane to render more liquid- the first had not yielded enough for the potion. All of a sudden, the dizziness came back in full force and your vision swam before your eyes. The knife missed its mark and instead imbedded in your thumb. You blinked and swayed.

“Y/N!”

A hand wrapped around your left wrist, while another took the knife out of your right hand.

“Sorry, Seonghwa.” You had ruined the potion. He had stopped stirring because of you.

Along with the dizziness came a new feeling. Your body felt so floaty. Everything was too bright and too loud.

A voice swam in from far away.

“I think the knife had some juice on it, Professor, and she cut herself pretty deep. I’ve been holding pressure, but…”

“No, you did the exact right thing, Seonghwa. Don’t worry; she’ll be okay. We just need to get her to Madame Patil in the hospital wing, and the antivenom will fix her right up.”

There was the sound of a bomb exploding.

“I’ll go take care of San’s potion- he clearly added the rat spleen incorrectly, seeing as it misfired. Are you ok to take Y/N up by yourself?”

“Yes, sir.”

Then, an arm wrapped around your waist to pull you up from your chair. His other arm took yours over his shoulder as he began to take you out of the classroom.

“Seonghwaaa.”

“Y/n, just hang on, ok? We’re going to the Hospital Wing.” He looked down at you.

“You’re too tall.”

He looked down at you, confused, but did not stop his hurried rush across the corridor to the stairs. “Excuse me?”

“My arm hurts at this angle.” Why were words coming out so readily right now? Was it the cowbane?

He brought you both to a standstill. “Um, yea, it’s one of the effects of cowbane poisoning. Sorry, I didn’t realize it was uncomfortable.” You could barely feel alarm that there was no filter between your brain and your mouth through the haziness that was descending over your whole body.

He looked unsurely up the stairs and back at you twice before his face set in determination.

“Ok, Y/N, I’m going to have to carry you.”

“No!” You stepped back shakily. You were definitely too heavy. This was going to be so embarrassing. But, also, it would feel so good probably. To be in his strong Chaser arms. Oh my god. Wait, he could hear everything. This is so embarrassing.

He smiled privately to himself before pulling you closer. “I hate to do this without your consent, but technically, you are not sound of mind and actively have a poison in your system, and Professor told me to get you there as fast as possible, so-”

And with that, he swung you up in your arms, like you weighed nothing and started off up the stairs.

The sudden change of position set your stomach rolling and the dizziness came back with doubled force. You whimpered and burrowed your head further into his neck, forgetting to fight him for manhandling you.

“I don’t feel so good.”

Seonghwa glanced worriedly down at your face which was turning an unhealthy-looking shade of green. “We’re almost there, love. Just hang on. I’m getting you there.”

You whimpered and tried to focus on breathing in and out slowly. Still, even though you were feeling so sick, the comfort and exhilaration of being so close to Seonghwa was not lost on you. If you threw up on Seonghwa right now, you were gonna kill yourself.

“Please don’t. I’d miss you too much.”

“Ugh, please stop reading my mind,” you managed to say between clenched teeth.

He chuckled quietly before depositing you softly onto a bed. Oh, a bed? Was it his bed? What was he going to do? What did you want him to do? Before your brain could come up with incriminating ideas to answer that question, a soft voice interrupted you.

“Oh, thank Salazar she’s conscious.”

“Um, Ms. Y/N, you are in the Hospital Wing.” There was a laughing lilt to her voice before it turned serious. “Mr. Seonghwa told me of the situation that happened in the Potions class, and I have just administered the antidote. It takes effect in 15 minutes, so just try hang on a little bit longer as it clears out the poison in your system. I also administered an anti-emetic, so just breathe in and out so you don’t throw up the antidote, or we’ll have to start all over and you will just feel worse as the cowbane spreads further. Just these 15 minutes, Y/N, and after that you should start to feel better within the hour. I’ll go whip up a hydration potion, also, because your basic diagnostic charm did not look good, young lady.”

You finally blinked open your eyes to see the high ceiling above you. Madame Patil was not wrong in taking extra measures to make sure you didn’t throw up. You felt like a ragdoll thrown at sea. The nausea was overwhelming, and the panic that it was causing wasn’t helping either. Before you could start hyperventilating in full, a hand grabbed yours.

You turned your head to where Seonghwa sat in the chair next to your bed.

“Sh, just focus on me.” He inhaled exaggeratedly and raised his eyebrows at you to follow.

You clamped down your jaw harder and mimicked him. It helped a fraction. Then, the next breath came easier. As did the next.

You don’t know how much time passed, but looking at him helped you hold on and focus even when your whole body was thrown in turmoil. Staring into his eyes and seeing him stare back just as hard at your own anchored you and healed you in more than one way.

You didn’t even realize 15 minutes had passed and that the nausea had stopped until Healer Patil bustled back into the room, a pale pink potion in her hands.

“You did so well, Y/N,” she soothed quietly. At the nurturing tone and the knowledge that you could finally relax a little now, your eyes welled up.

“There, there- none of that. The worst has passed. Now, drink this.”

You wrinkled your nose and glanced at Seonghwa in dread. Rehydrating potions tasted so bad. When will the horrors end?

He shook his head at you sternly. “Hurry up, Y/N.”

“Ugh.” You downed the whole glass, and Healer Patil leaned you back softly onto the headboard.

“All done. Now, you just rest. I’m writing you a pass for classes tomorrow as well.”

“Oh, but-”

She looked down at you sternly. “No buts. I know it’s exam season, Y/N, but if you want to write those exams to the best of your ability, then you need to take care of your body as well as your mind. That means eating well, sleeping enough, and resting when you need to. Your body has just undergone a major ordeal even if it was healed so quickly, so give it the time it needs to recuperate.”

“Okay, okay. I promise I’m not that bad at taking care of myself!”

“Do you think my diagnostics lied to me? You haven’t eaten well in the past week and a half from the looks of it and are severely dehydrated! The poison wouldn’t have worked so fast if you weren’t already so compromised!”

At that, you had nothing to say. The older Ravenclaw nodded and sniffed as she walked away.

That left you alone with Seonghwa. As the haziness of your mind started to clear, the events of the past hour came back to you.

You snuck a glance at him. He looked the most worried you had ever seen him. Even more than when Yeosang had been upset- this sent any of the pirates into a spiral. More than when Jongho had to take a break from Quidditch because of a knee injury. More than any occasion before.

You looked back down at your hands. It was surprising to see the cut that had started this whole fiasco. Though it wasn’t that deep of a gash, it was pretty long, almost the whole length of your thumb. You winced as you prodded at it.

“Oh, here. Let me heal that for you.”

You looked up, surprised. “Oh, that’s okay. It’s not necessary.”

“Yes, it is.” He frowned at you. You were scared at his expression. He had never looked at you like that before. Just what exactly had you said in your state of delirium? What if he hated you now?

Before you could suggest that Healer Patil could do it, he took your hand gently in his and pulled it towards him. He softly muttered the incantation as he waved his wand over the cut, and the cooling rush of his magic tingled all the way up your arm. It was so intimate.

The heady feeling of happiness rushing through your chest at the feel of his magic coming up against yours halted in its tracks. What if he hated you now? His whole demeanor was so off. You had to clear the air.

“Listen, Seonghwa. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for noticing what happened immediately and getting me here so quickly and helping me… And, also, I wanted to say I’m sorry.” You were glaring at where your hands were twisting the sheets, so you missed his look of surprise. “I feel bad that you had to take care of me and that I took time out of your learning time, especially when we know that the Shrinking Solution is probably gonna be tested on the N.E.W.T.s, and I – I , whatever I said, I’m sorry. If you could just tell me what I said that offended you, I promise I probably didn’t mean it. Or if I did, then I can just explain-”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa.” His hands covered both of your own.

You looked up at him, your lip between your teeth.

“Who said I’m mad? I’m not. I promise.”

“But you- you looked so serious just now.”

“Well, yea! Of course, I am.” He ran his hands through his hair agitatedly. “But not because I’m mad that I had to take care of you or leave class because of you or any dumb reason you just came up with right now.” He smiled at you.

You laughed weakly. “O-oh.”

He looked up at the ceiling and muttered under his breath, “Fuck it.”

His hand came up to wrap around your own again. “Y/N, I was worried. Just now. That’s why I looked so serious. And who wouldn’t be when you hear that the girl you’re in love with pushes herself so hard that she is physically unwell? That a Healer who was trained for years had to spell that out so clearly for you?”

Where the poison couldn’t finish the job, his words just had- your heart was stopped. But that was surely impossible, because you could feel the telltale burn of blood across your cheeks. Could a girl still blush if her heart was stopped? You dropped your gaze to your hands again.

He chuckled quietly at the look on your face and leaned impossibly closer still.

“But, you don’t have to worry. I won’t look so serious again, because I figured out a solution to my problem.”

“What’s that?” Why was your voice so shaky?

“Since you won’t do it yourself, I’m just going to have to take care of you.”

You looked at his eyes, his impossibly soft brown eyes. And you saw reflected in them for the first time the same feelings you had harbored for him in your own the past two years.

You teared up at the sudden revelation, the tenderness with which he spoke, and the utterly gentle care you had received from him. And you just knew- this was it. This was it for the rest of your life. He smiled back at you just as brightly as you both were quiet in the reverence of such a moment shared between two souls.

The sudden bang of a door could be heard, not from the entry to the wing but from the Healer’s private office. It signaled that she had stepped out. Seonghwa tilted his head and then smirked mischievously at you before quickly climbing into the bed with you.

“Hey!” You laughed as you poked him in the side.

“Don’t act like this isn’t sooo comfortable for your poor healing-from-a-poison body right now.”

“Mm, I can’t deny that.” Now that you were not nauseous or dizzy or delirious anymore, your body felt like it had been hit by a truck. You sighed against his chest and his arms squeezed around you tighter, only this time you could properly enjoy it.

The silence was peaceful.

“Now, I know I’m in your bed, Y/N, but please try to keep your thoughts a little innocent for now. You’re sick, you know. When you feel better, we can revisit all those things you wanted me to do to you in a bed, ok?”

“Shut up!”

MMM: (S) Ancient Runes

"I have Ancient Runes first." They said, smiling. Lilia grinned at them and nodded, glancing at the person who just entered the Great Hall.

"Vil is in Ancient Runes too. You could ask for directions or to walk with him." Lilia said, waving to Vil as he sat down near the prefect.

"I can do that." Vil said, nodding to the prefect in greeting as he started to eat. The prefect smiled slightly and also began to eat, trying to suppress the nerves.

"Don't be scared. The class will be mostly empty, and you'll be fine." he said. The prefect nodded and tried to calm their nerves. After they both finished eating, the prefect grabbed their timetable and bag, heading towards the Ancient Runes classroom with Vil by their side.

"So, why Ancient Runes?"

"I find them interesting, and beautiful. There's so much you can do with them." Vil explained, smiling softly. The prefect smiled back and nodded in understanding and followed him down the hallway, up several stairs, and into the classroom. The room was pretty small, which made sense for such a small class. Students weren't exactly foaming at the mouth to take Ancient Runes.

"Sit near me, if you would. Slytherin's present a united front, after all." Vil whispered to the prefect. The prefect smiled nervously and followed Vil to the front, sitting in the second row near him. Since Vil had ignored the other students, the prefect glanced around to try and take in the other person there already, a Ravenclaw near the back. Another two students entered, one of them approaching the Ravenclaw.

"Here on time? And awake? A miracle." He teased, causing the other student to roll his eyes and flick an extra quill at the Hufflepuff.

"I'm avoiding Hunt. He's got it in his head he should transfer to this class, but I doubt he'll be able to." The student said, sighing to himself. The other student nodded in understanding, turning back towards the front of the classroom and picking a seat. The other Hufflepuff seemed to try and approach the prefect, only to back away as Vil glared at him. A few other students started to fill the other seats; a cheerful Gyrffindor sat in the row across from the prefect, grinning at them.

"Hey, shrimpy! You're the exchange student right?" He said, leaning over closer to the prefect. They smiled nervously and introduced themself before the professor entered the classroom, immediately silencing the students.

The first lesson was a bit easy, just a refresher on some of the basics.

Vil had answered most of the questions, obviously he knew his stuff. The sleepy Ravenclaw was mostly quiet, though he answered any questions the blonde didn't. The prefect couldn't really see the other students, so they didn't know how other people were experiencing the class. At the end of the class, it was announced that there was already a project . A group project, too.

"Find a partner. They don't have to be the same year as you, but please strive to find someone at a similar level to you." Professor Bernardi said, glaring at the Gryffindor in particular.

As soon as the professor dismissed the class, students rushed around to find a partner. The prefect decided to try and approach someone before being approached. Based on what they'd seen in class, anyone could really be a good partner.

But they had decided on their partner after another look over the room, approaching...

[Who do you approach?]

...the sleepy Ravenclaw.

...the cheerful Gryffindor.

...the quiet Hufflepuff.

...the excitable Hufflepuff.

...your fellow Slytherin.

i wanna know about the ring composition meta!

Ok, so, I am a bit unhinged about this 😂 I quite literally froth over all the parallelism, the foreshadowing and chiastic structure of these books, so I decided to put it all in once place and write a meta ... but the trouble is, there is SO much ground to cover that I am having difficulty breaking it down. Here are some of the main snippets and a few of my favourite points -

If something is characterised by chiasmus it denotes a structure in which words/events/stories are repeated in reverse order. For a Harry Potter relevant and more visual representation, it looks something like this -

PS, CoS, PoA, GoF, OoTP, HBP, DH

or refer to this excellent little diagram -

The chiastic structure and ring composition in Harry Potter can be broken down in a few main points -

The beginning (PS) and end (DH) meet - a story in which the beginning and end are at one point.

The 'big turn' or central line and Parallel halves - If the beginning and end are going to meet, the story needs a 'big turn' (a 180 so to speak) at some point to divide it into two halves, with the first half of the story being the outgoing and the second half, the returning. In the case of the HP books this is done by creating seperate sections (PS, CoS, PoA) that are placed against one another (OoTP, HBP, DH) across a central dividing line (GoF), thus making these halves parallels of one another.

Here are a few of my favourite examples of the joined beginning and end

The Forest Again: Harry's first encounter with Voldemort takes place in the forbidden forest, having stumbled upon the dead unicorn. This first encounter is echoed in 'The Forest Again' in DH which is to be Harry's supposed last encounter with Voldermort.

Hagrid and Harry, together again (🥺): Hagrid brings baby Harry to Privet Drive on Sirius's motorcycle, Hagrid takes adult Harry away from Privet Drive on Sirius's motorcycle. Hagrid introduces Harry to the Wizarding World and is the one to tell him about Voldemort, Hagrid witnesses Harry's supposed death at the hands of Voldemort in The Forest Again and carry's his body to Hogwarts.

Parents at Christmas (this one has to be my favourite): Little Eleven year-old Harry sees his parents for the first time over the Christmas Holidays, full of hope and longing, he is fascinated and absolutely entranced by their living reflections in the Mirror of Erised. On Christmas Eve in DH, Adult Harry visits his parents graves for the first time and, perhaps also for the first time ever, grieves fully. He sees his would-be home for the first time and experiences the murders of his parents through Voldemorts memories.

The other Gryffindor champion (ahhhh another fav!): In PS, Dumbledore awards Neville Longbotton, the decisive last-minute points necessary for Gryffindor's victory over Slytherin for the House Championship. Similarly, in DH, it is Neville's contribution in the final hour, his killing of the serpent Nagini with the Sword of Gyrffindor, that takes Voldemort over to mortality, thus ensuring victory once more.

And some of the parallel halves

in CoS Harry takes a wrong turn in the floo network and ends up inside the vanishing cabinet at Borgin and Burkes where he spies on Draco Malfoy. In HBP, Harry once again finds himself spying on Draco Malfoy at Borgin and Burkes when he should be with the Weasleys, suspicious about what Draco is purchasing, which incidentally turns out to be, yep, the very same vanishing cabinet.

Both CoS and HBP have major plot points around the significance of a mysterious book, CoS - Tom Riddle's diary, HBP - the Half Blood Princes textbook.

In PoA Harry is introduced to his godfather, in OoTP (need I say more? 😭) he loses him.

In PoA we witness an authetnic prophecy made by Professor Trelawney, in OoTP we witness the authentic prophecy made by Professor Trelawney.

In PoA Snape is furious with Harry at the story's end, he is borderline unhinged because he suspects Sirius's escape has everything to do with Harry. in OoTP Harry is furious with Snape at the story's end, he is borderline irrational after Sirius's death for which he wants to believe Snape is responsible.

There are many, MANY more, but these will have to suffice for now, this is already turning into a thesis 😂

The last point where the ring composition in HP is concerned is -

The rings within the rings - What really takes this from interesting to remarkable is that not only is the series as a whole structured this way, but so is each individual book. Each and every book has its own joined beginnings and endings, an echoing midpoint and story turn, and chapters that echo one another across the story in axis. There are rings within the rings.

Some super quick examples of this are (it's important to note that the chapters mentioned below are almost always each-others actual numerological parallel within the book) -

First and last chapters of CoS (1-2, 17): Harry meets Dobby on his Birthday, Dobby gives him a dire warning and tries to imprison him to keep him away from Hogwarts. In the latter, Dobby's warnings come to fruition and Harry gives Dobby freedom.

Chapters 4 and 20 of PoA: The trio frets over Scabbers failing health, mysterious longevity and about the ministry's efforts to capture Sirius. In the latter chapter, the trio corner Sirius, learn of Scabbers real identity and the true reason behind his seemingly ill health.

Chapters 8 and 30 of GoF: Harry sits in the top box with Barty Crouch Jr, Ludo Bagman, top Ministry officials and the Malfoys a the Quidditch World Cup. In the latter chapter, Harry finds himself sitting in spectator-full courtroom to watch the trials of Barty Crouch Jr, Ludo Bagman and other former Death Eaters by top Ministry officials.

Fourth and Fourth last chapters of OoTP (4, 35): In what is Sirius's first appearance in this book, we see him fighting with and pulling a curtain over his mother, an insane member of the Black family. In what is Sirius's last appearance in this book, we see him fighting with and being sent behind a veil by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange, an insane member of the Black Family.

Again, there are many, MANY more but I think I'll stop rambling and save them for the meta 😆 sorry for the extremely long winded answer here!!

hogwarts express ~ d. thomas

synopsis: just an average ride to hogwarts with an overly fluffy gyrffindor

warnings: short, very fluffy

words: 401

note: from my wattled account, written jan 16 2022

first person pov

"dean, stop!" i laughed, trying to get him to stop tickling me.

"and why should i do that?" he asked teasingly, continuing his assault on my sides. confided in our train compartment, i couldn't get away from him. no one passing by our compartment seemed to notice the two of us, so i couldn't count on a hero saving the day. he was relentless in his attack, not stopping until i begged for mercy.

"p-please, i'll do a-anything." i laughed, the sensation starting to hurt a bit. noticing this, he stopped, but still gave me a wide smirk.

"anything, aye?" he asked, a mischievous glint in his eyes. i nodded, knowing he would never do anything that would hurt me.

"hmm…" he thought, smirking at me before looking me up and down.

"that is," i started, getting up from my seat and coming towards dean. once i was a couple of milimeters away from his face, he closed his eyes in anticipation.

"… if you can catch me." i whispered in his ear before sprinting out of the compartment. i briefly caught his confused expression on my way out, but i was more focused on losing the tall boy. i could hear him sprinting behind me, running into a couple of people. just as i was about to make it to another passenger car, i felt arms wrap around me and pull me backwards harshly. i soon found myself pressed against the wall of the train, trapped by the arms and body of one tall, cocky gryffindor.

"i caught you." he gloated, a perfect smirk resting upon his perfect face.

"and what will you do with me now that you've captured me?" i asked. he pushed his body closer to mine and flickered his gaze down to my lips.

"this." he whispered before leaning down, catching my lips. we paid no attention to the people passing us by on the train. it was just me and him, pressed up against each other in the cramped train corridor. my arms wrapped loosely around his neck, a playful kiss, just enjoying each other's presence, no sense of time or urgency. when he pulled away, he still had the same goofy smirk on his gorgeous face.

"we should do this more often." he said against my lips, lightly pecking them before pulling us back to our compartment.

I still can't believe J.K Rolling wrote the Harry Potter series considering the topics it's tackled vs her own takes. Like, she had to have had a ghost writer or something. Don't even get me started on the obvious favoritism of gyrffindor. How does she not know her characters?? She literally wrote them

I honestly love that Rick is the one doing this series. And the movies are definitely nostalgic for me. I don't hate them, just think the writing could've been better. But I could still watch them over and over again, either way

There's so many moments I can't wait to see in the series. The Percy Jackson books were how I spent most of my time in elementary (+6th grade when I had to re-read the first book) From the graphic novels to the chapter books. I had a big greek mythology phase, whatever greek mythology book I saw in the school library I immediately checked it out

The thing about greek mythology is there's sm to be explored, lucky means more books

Oh she definitely had to have a ghost writer, but then again some of the plots are absolutely wild 😭 the favoritism toward Gryffindor is painful to watch, like what you mean they get extra points for being decent people???

Getting the author to partake in the creation of the show is a dead giveaway that it’s going to be awesome. The movies are also nostalgic for me, especially whenever they enter the casino and Poker Face starts playing

You’re making me want to go read the books now! Honestly though, who didn’t have a giant greek mythology phase during their childhood? It’s such an interesting piece of history that needs to be studied more in schools. I wish my library during middle school had books on it :(

If you haven’t played it, I highly recommend playing ‘Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.’ It’s one of my favorite AC games and I easily put in over 50 hours on it. It takes place during the Peloponnesian War, and the Greek mythology in it is amazing, especially if you get the DLCs

Who: @thcfallenstar Where: Gyrffindor Common Room

Bored. He was so utterly bored. He didn't mind doing the work in class, but paperwork was not his favourite. He had tasked with looking into the historical use of certain curses and it was dire. The was sat on one of the sofa's in the common room, books strewn everywhere in front of him. Notes scribbled on the parchment he was holding. He found it very hard to concentrate on things like this. Amos looked up when he heard someone enter the common room. His smile lifting as he saw Sirius. "Mate, you gotta come help me out over here - i'm literally drowning in homework- i'm begging you to at least entertain me whilst I do it or preferably give you a good excuse to procrastinate and ignore it til the last minute."

No but like i get it cause jaehyuk in slytherin is just right at the tip of the damn silver spoon and he does have a lot of traits that would contribute well as a slytherin like he's so charming as a person depsite seeming very normal at first and that is such a bonus for a slytherin cause most people say the snakes have to be like intimidating and superior looking but just imagine a slytherin so many people just like because hello?? Have you seen jaehyuk? He can be so sweet and gentle and oh so friendly but that same trait can also be used for a lot of things to gain him benefits

Thus, you're pretty spot on with him being a perfect match in slytherin but like i have a feeling that Jaehyuk would actually want to be in Gryffindor cause it represents things that sorta hit home to him? Like courage and beinng bold, like idk if you've watched Treasure box, but Jae went through some pretty mentally and emotionally harsh stuff but he legit could come back with a strong swing of his own so like idk Slytherin Jaehyuk is very tempting but i think the sorting hat would take in his personal choice of being a Gryffindor

you did not have to bring ygtb up now im crying 🥺🥺🥺 im brainwashed and convinced by your theory let him deserve gyrffindor it's okay jaehyuk i will wait for love

#ash #why does ygtb hurts worse than a heartbreak #ash&bae's treasure hogwarts au

Please sort The Hunger Games characters into HoGwaRtS Houses :

For reference (according wikia)

Hufflepuff : Loyalty and hard working

Gryffindor : Bravery and chivalry

Ravenclaw : Wit and learning

Slytherin : Cunning and ambition

You can include as many characters as you want/can.

And you can give a reason why do you sort that character into that house.

Thank you so much 😊

PS : this is just for fun, if you don't like HP or THG, just ignore this ask 🔥

@curiousnonny

SO. Decided to do this quickly instead of waiting cause I'd sit and think about this forever if I let myself. My little disclaimer is this; I firmly believe most characters fall into more than one Hogwarts house. This is also MY interpitation of these characters, so if you agree, thats perfectly fine and I can see why!

Here we go:

Katniss: Naturally, bravery makes me say Gyrffindor. I know I am gonna get an eye role about that but she doesn't fall as neatly anywhere else.

Peeta: THIS is harder, but I'mma go Slytherin. Spesifically the 'cunning' part. There isn't one that just for kindness, and Peeta is canonically silver tounged so it fits. Secondarily he IS very loyal, so if not the first one, Hufflepuff would be my second option.

Gale: I WILL confidently put Gale as a Slytherin, with the note that I'd say the sorting hat would STRUGGLE with this boy. He is loyal, cunning, but also brave and smart. He'd fit very well in any of them, but I think ultametly would be placed in Slytherin for his skill planning things. If not that, Ravenclaw is the second option.

Johanna: Another Slytherin. She won her games by playing weak and shocking everyone intenonally with her ability. She is a HUGE part of the rebellion, and has it out and plans to kill Snow from the get go. Slytherin.

Haymitch: Hufflepuff. He helps orchistrate a rebellion, so hardwork must be involved somewhere. Not to mention for better or for worse he always is loyal to Katniss and Peeta, as much as he can be in the given situation.

FInnick: Hufflepuff or Gyriffendor. I think Finn and Gale were the hardest, but ultamately Finnick puts everything on the line along for the rebellion without question and to me that is the highest form of bravery. But he is also loyal, and hardworking.

Prim: Hufflepuff, she is always the first to helo those in need whitch in my mind counts as both being loyal AND hardworking. Though this one is one I'd be interested if someone has another take on this!

And...think that's all I'll do for now! But yea, these are just my own thoughts and in reality, I can see any combination of different points being made. Genuinely shocked I don't feel the love for Ravenclaw house at ALL doing this XD. I could argue Gale, Peeta or maybe Hatmitch but no. Though they would fit better elsewhere.

Don't eny the sorting hat at all. But this was SUPER fun!

MMM: (H) Ancient Runes

"I have Ancient Runes first." They said, smiling and causing both Trey and a recently-present Kalim to smile back.

"Us too!" Kalim said, beaming at them as they continued to eat. Kalim scarfed down his breakfast, Trey rolling his eyes at the younger student.

"Calm down, Al-Asim." he said. The other student pouted slightly, but listened anyway. After all three of them finished eating, the prefect grabbed their timetable and bag, heading towards the Ancient Runes classroom with the other two Hufflepuffs.

"So, why Ancient Runes?"

"I've always been good with runes! My dad taught me them growing up." Kalim explained, grinning. The prefect smiled and nodded in understanding and followed him down the hallway, up several stairs, and into the classroom. The room was pretty small, which made sense for such a small class. Students weren't exactly foaming at the mouth to take Ancient Runes.

"Damn, we're not the first here!" Kalim said, pouting slightly. Trey chuckled and shrugged, making his way to a seat halfway down the rows, right in the middle. Glancing behind him, he smirked slightly at one of the Ravenclaw students.

"Here on time? And awake? A miracle." He teased, causing the other student to roll his eyes and flick an extra quill at Trey.

"I'm avoiding Hunt. He's got it in his head he should transfer to this class, but I doubt he'll be able to." The student said, sighing to himself. Trey nodded in understanding, turning back towards the front of the classroom as he got his stuff out of his bag. The prefect decided to sit several rows behind Trey, near the sleepy Ravenclaw. Kalim grinned and slid into the seat next to them, getting his parchment and quills out. A few other students started to fill the other seats; a blonde Slytherin sat in front of the prefect and a cheerfuly Gyrffindor sat in the row across from the prefect, grinning at them.

The first lesson was a bit easy, just a refresher on some of the basics.

The blonde Slytherin had answered most of the questions, obviously he knew his stuff. The sleepy Ravenclaw was mostly quiet, though he answered any questions the blonde didn't. Trey was quiet, and Kalim seemed to just be there to enjoy himself, though he did take what looked like efficient notes. At the end of the class, it was announced that there was already a project . A group project, too.

"Find a partner. They don't have to be the same year as you, but please strive to find someone at a similar level to you." Professor Bernardi said, glaring at the Gryffindor in particular.

But they had decided on their partner after another look over the room, approaching...

[Who do you approach?]

...the blonde Slytherin.

...the sleepy Ravenclaw.

...the cheerful Gryffindor.

...the Hufflepuff Head Boy.

...your fellow Hufflepuff fifth year.
