(I will take advantage of this Halloween day to publish the alternative and not very happy ending of Angel's story. I hope you don't hate me so much after reading.)
A big explosion, the sensation of his head hitting something hard and Penny's scream were the last things Angelo could remember, for a few seconds a buzz was ringing in Angel's ear, but as soon as he passed, he heard the sound of footsteps. followed by the sound of a strong displacement of air.
"Rakepick!" Exclaimed Angel, opening his eyes abruptly, but for some reason, he felt his foreign body.
The strange sensation took over his whole body, and it was precisely the fact that he was feeling nothing, no sensation, nor the pain he would feel when reaching the hard surface, nor the sensation of touch, or even the simple sensation of breathing. He tried to get up, but he had a horrible and shocking surprise, he hadn’t stood up, he was floating a few inches off the ground, his body was translucent with a pearly white color, when facing his hands a state of shock went through the his mind, he had become a ghost.
The ghost boy stayed there floating inert until he finally noticed his friends lying on the ground, but there was no reaction time, as figures hurriedly stepped on the shore of the lake where they were. Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, together with Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout approached with their wands in hand facing the horrible scene, Penny, Merula, Ben, Talbott and Barnaby lying down on the floor, however alive and breathing, and Angelo's body fell a little further. Upon realizing what had happened, Professor McGonagall exclaimed "No!" while covering his shocked mouth, Professor Snape ended up letting out a curse, Professor Flitwick let out a squeaky cry, and Professor Sprout seemed to have lost his ability to speak, while Professor Dumbledore was silent while looking at the young ghost with a look sad. Upon seeing the director's gaze, Angel felt very guilty and ashamed, he was so determined to find the last cursed vaults and break the curse that he didn't listen to the director's alerts, now he had paid the price for that action, lowering his eyes, he just stared at the ground, feeling extremely sad and ashamed, not because he died or turned into a ghost, but because he put his friends' lives at risk.
As McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick and Sprout hurried to check on the status of their students, Professor Dumbledore approached Angelo.
"Oh, Angelo." Said the teacher with a sad tone. "I'm sorry that this happened."
Professor Dumbledore's eyes went to Angel's body and soon the ghost understood the reason for his death, his head had hit a stone, red blood trickled down the rock and started to accumulate in a small puddle on the floor. It was a strange feeling to see his own lifeless body, there were no words to describe what he was feeling at that moment, if he could cry, Angelo would be doing it at that moment.
"We are going back to the castle, there we can resolve it properly."
With a movement of synchronized wands, the professors conjured stretchers where they placed the students unconscious, and Angel's body, Professor Dumbledore made another wave with the wand conjured a white cloth that covered the stretcher where Angelo was. The return to the castle was a funereal and silent march, no teacher dared to say anything, and the ghost floating further behind also had no desire to speak, he was reaping the fruits of his choices, at least he had something to comfort him, none of his friends had died.
Upon arriving at the castle, the other professors were waiting for the students in the hospital ward, as soon as they saw the ghost, they were in shock.
"Merlin's beard, Angelo!" Hagrid exclaimed when he saw the ghost, and within seconds the half-giant was bursting into tears. "Oh, Angel, I'm sorry, this is just terrible."
"It's all my fault, Hagrid." Said Angelo looking down, he was feeling horrible for what happened.
"This is really unfortunate, Angelo, who did this to you?" Professor Dumbledore asked, approached Angelo.
"We were investigating the black lake and Rakepick showed up ... we tried to stop it, professor, but it caused an explosion and I… just… oh Merlin, what did I do?" Angelo started to "cry", although there were no tears in his eyes.
"Angelo, unfortunately we cannot reverse your situation, this is really unfortunate, I know that you feel that nothing you can say can comfort you in this situation that you have chosen, if you want we can talk about it." Professor Dumbledore said with compassion. "I imagine you are confused and afraid of what your future will be like, but rest assured that we will be here to guide you in your new existence."
"I… I need to… be a little alone, professor."
Although being a ghost was a new thing, and he didn't know exactly how to move, but he always spent a lot of time with Lady Gray and Sir. Nicholas and Fat Friar and watched as they moved, leaning, he floated through the wall. He flew down the corridors of the school aimlessly lost in his thoughts, not realizing where he was going, he ended up on the fourth floor, in front of the prefects bathroom, letting out a sigh, he went through the door, inside he found another ghost floating near the window looking out over the horizon, he seemed lost in thought, now that he was doomed to the same fate, Angelo understood how Duncan felt. And now he wondered why he decided to stay?
"Duncan?" Angel called the ghost boy.
With a grumpy grunt, he crossed his arms, clearly dissatisfied.
"Am I not going to have a minute's peace in my death without a member of the Lancaster family coming to bother me? What do you want Angel…?" Duncan turned with a grumpy look, but as soon as he saw Angelo his frown changed to an extremely surprised and shocked expression, he didn't seem to believe what he was seeing. "Angel… what happened to you?"
"Rakepick… we were investigating the black lake and it appeared… we tried to duel it, but it caused an explosion and I… I was thrown against a rock and I hit my head… Duncan… I couldn't abandon my friends, I involved them in this mess and they took chances for me, I couldn't leave them alone, but ... what will they think when they know, I couldn't protect them, Professor Dumbledore was right, everyone was right, you were right, I shouldn't have been involved with cursed vaults, I should have let the teachers take care of this… it’s all over… "
Angelo covered his eyes with his hands, while he cried in front of the ghost of the monitors' bathroom, while he cried, he felt two arms wrap around him and when he opened his surprised eyes, Duncan was hugging him, it was very strange to feel the contact of another ghost , ghosts apparently could not touch physical matter, but could make contact with other ghosts.
"I confess that I hate your brother, but… I even liked you, Angelo, I… I'm sorry that this happened to you."
The Ravenclaw ghost was really surprised by Duncan's action, the Slytherin ghost was always so hostile, never hiding his hatred for his brother, and he always thought Duncan hated him too, but apparently that was not the case, now he was there, embracing Angel and comforting him for what happened.
Although his choice to stay and help his friends was more important to him, it was a fact that his destiny was sealed, he would be a ghost forever. He could only hope and accept his new existence, but he didn't want his friends to feel sad for him, after all that was his choice. All I could do now was learn to deal with it.
-----O-----O-----O-----O-----O-----O-----
This was the alternate ending to Angelo's story, he would die murdered by Rakepick, but he would become a ghost because of the guilt of dying and having his friends involved with cursed vaults and in danger. He couldn't go on with that guilt in his heart.
I would like to know how Angel's MC friends would react to the knowledge of his death and that he is now a Hogwarts ghost. So let me know their reactions.
It’s been a “good” year. Year when I didn’t stop drawing HPHM related art and I realized that I really fell in love with Mr. Amari.
I introduced Sirius WD. Amari to the world aside with Agatha and Freya Wingdings (Jay and Jacob’s mother and grandmother), and a project of mine is coming out of my head, finally ♥
Just going off the idea that I’ve seen a lot of others do, because things on tumblr get MESSY. And things can get lost very easily! So I’m going to compile a list of all the stuff I made right here so that y’all can access them whenever you like. This list will be updated from time to time, so look out for new additions!

Why you may ask? Because I CAN'T smell very well. I had a little accident with fire crackers when I was 14 and lost more than 60 % of my sense of smell. Don't know why, but this makes the question funny for me. 🤣
First of all, sorry for the long post 😅. You guys know I don'tike long posts without a "read more under the line". But I nade the post with my mobile phone.... Aaaaaaaanyway. Also sorry for all the tags. I hope I don't annoyed someone with it <~<. So let's continue:
I think this year has been a particularly difficult year for everyone. As 2020 is drawing to a close, I mentally let the year pass again.
The bottom line is that I have to say that 2020 was turbulent for me, but not necessarily bad. Much good, but also bad, has happened. And I want to start with the bad things right away.
At the beginning of the year, my depression and eating disorder relapsed. I've always had trouble talking about it because I know my friends can't handle this issue. I felt pressured because they wanted to do things with me, but I couldn't. So I withdrew completely, hiding my emotions and wearing a mask.
At that time I created this blog. At first I didn't want to create my own content, just follow the content of @ladycibia, @hogwartsmystory and @kyril-hphm. Incidentally, that is also the reason why I call these 3 blogs the Big Three. So it's their fault that I'm here. Lol.
And then the first Hyops message came at the end of March. A very good friend of mine got Corvid-19 and lost the battle against the disease a few days later. I still remember how the news pulled the floor from under my feet. It feels like I completely lost faith in everything and I started to realize how dangerous this year could be.
But life goes on and so I visited a friend and her family in early July. It was the anniversary of her husband's death, who was also a very good friend of mine. He died of cancer last year and I couldn't go to his funeral. So I wanted to stop by on the day he died. I actually thought I could do it. But when you read a friend's name on a tombstone for the first time.. Guys, that's a punch in the stomach like no other and I can't really describe how it feels. I had made up my mind not to cry in front of his wife or children because it was hard enough for them. Didn't work.
And of course this year meant to go one better.
Another friend of mine died of the virus in mid-August, leaving behind a wife and a child. Again, I was unable to attend the funeral. And to be honest, it still bothers me way more I want to admit. In two years I lost three wonderful people who meant a lot to me and I couldn't say goodbye to any of them. When I see the three of them again after my death, you can be sure I'll kick their butts for it.
But August was the worst month for me in many ways. In addition to the death of my buddy, my father's family also volunteered. And that means only one thing - trouble. And properly. I haven't had contact with this family for over 12 years for good reason. Now one person from this family has passed away. And first of all, I don't really care if anyone of them would die. I don't even know the person who passed away. But I wasn't told either by my grandmother or my father. So my deadline to cancel the inheritance has expired. Of course it was debts. You have to know that the inheritance rights of my country are very complicated. The reason my father or grandmother didn't tell me about it was because they didn't want to bother with the paperwork. They always had the opportunity to contact me via Facebook or my half-sister. But that would mean work for them. And while I was walking from lawyer to lawyer to court to court, I was allowed to hear sayings from my grandmother that I apparently have achieved nothing in my life. Nice to know that some people never change. I'm still struggling with this matter to this day and will probably not be able to fully clarify this until the beginning of 2021.
At the end of October everything seemed to be taking its revenge and I passed out at a friend's house. Nobody knows exactly what happened until today, but my friend took me to the hospital where I had to stay one night. That was Halloween. And I'm such a big fan of hospitals hahahaha hahahaha. After that I was allowed to wear an ECG for 2 weeks and it turned out that my heart values had deteriorated. Why not. Let's just take everything with us this year!
Rounding out the negatives this year was my (as a teenager) best friend's suicide. I have to say that I haven't had any contact with this person for 9 years. However, it is the one who cut herself in her youth and then called me afterwards because she didn't know what to do. It was also the one I tried to get into therapy for 2 years. But her mother was always against it. And it was exactly this mother who was standing in my mother's shop, telling her about her daughter's suicide and that I was probably in the farewell letter. I don't know exactly what it said, but the mother now blames me for her daughter's suicide. And do you know what's craziest about the whole thing? I agreed with her! I really thought it was my fault because I knew how sick my former friend was. Yet I was the one who ended the friendship (for many reasons that had nothing to do with her depression). And I still wonder what would have happened if I had acted differently.
But enough of the negative things! A lot of nice things happened this year too. Among other things, I have found a new job within my group, earn more money and have pleasant working hours. I've renovated my apartment and I've started saving money on a new one. My two nieces are now going to school and I am a proud aunt. My male best friend and his girlfriend (my best harry potter friend) are pregnant and are expecting their first child soon and my mother's health is better.
But one of the best things that happened to me this year is this blog.
I already mentioned that I actually only created this blog to stalk the Big Three. I didn't want my own content at all. But I discovered more and more blogs and these incredibly great MCs that I thought I wanted to do whole too. And so Samantha O'Connell was born.
I received so much great support and encouragement on this platform. I don't think many people even realize how much that means to me. Especially this year.
I have also found great and lovable people here, some of whom I also call my friends. Even if we come from other countries, speak other languages and may never see each other in real life, you are my friends and I am grateful to know you.
@annabelle-tanaka-official : I'll start with you of course! XD on tumblr you are just my best friend. I don't write as much with anyone as I do with you. You are such an incredibly talented person and so warm hearted! Over the year we have invented so many insiders that soon nobody will know what we mean. Be it the monster hug, or that my cats are your spies or our many RP scenarios, which I really enjoy and which always make me laugh. I thank you for that!! I love you so much and I am so glad that we are friends! *minster hug*
@lunasilvermorny / @lunasilvermore : you are next to you !!! XD the next person I write to almost every day. What started with a little conversation about among us has turned into a friendship. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to streaming with you next year (and this year)!!! You are such a good listener that strengthens me. Your support is so nice of you too! Just the fact that you have subscribed to my YouTube channel xD (because of the language I even have an idea). I'm looking forward to the next year with you! Thank you so much for dealing with my craziness and still likes me!
@kyril-hphm : muahahahaha. You can't escape me !!! Yes, what should I say? One of my big three even made friends with me. One of my Senpais noticed me! And then it's a lovely fluffy marshmallow! I still think it's funny that we have such similar circuits and hearts! Nevertheless you are an incredibly honest, loving and talented person. I've never told you before, but sometimes I stare (for 20 minutes +) at your drawings to improve my style (just not working so far). You are an honest person and I am happy every time we talk, or when you react to my content. I would like to say thank you for that too! You are great and you can trust yourself more.
@carewyncromwell : my Chinese fireball, my Disney princess. Yes, for me you exude the aura of a Disney princess and nothing can change my mind. So! You were one of the first friends I made here on tumblr and one of the first to write with me! I still remember how proud and nervous I was back then! Just when I was in the hospital on Halloween and couldn't sleep that night, you kept texting me and distracting me from my fear. That means a lot to me. You are such a creative and lovable person too. Ah, that's just amazing. Your comments or hashtags always make me grin or laugh. Thank you for all your support and help!
@catohphm : my fluffier Ravenclaw brother!!! Of course you can't be missing either. I also write with you almost every day and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your kind words and your support. I just love the energy between Samantha and Cato. And it's always fun to write RP with you! Thank you for being such a lovely and kind person!
@mira-shard : MIRAAAAAAA! It's kind of funny how long we've basically walked next to each other without talking to each other. And now I don't want to miss you anymore! You are such a fun and happy person. Writing with you is just fun! I also love your cosplay photos. Someday I'll come to visit you, and then we'll do cosplay shootings together until the camera bleeds! I would also like to thank you for your support and your kindness.
@sirfluffig : ha. I hope you didn't think you were escaping me! Where should I start with you? Maybe that you were one of the first to give me such lovely feedback on Samantha? Or this super funny stream and that you helped me to stream in English? Or just like that, when we talk about our MCs or pen and paper. It's definitely always fun. I want to thank you for that and I'm looking forward to playing together again soon (get Among us)
@nightrhea-hphm : * run into you in slowmotion * Night! My wonderful supportive Gremlin! I've grown very fond of them over the years. And your support and feedback are just amazing. I also love the friendship between Night and Samantha. I think it's very similar to ours, right? You are also such an incredibly creative and lovable person. You make you feel like it's ok to be who you are. Thank you!
Of course there are many, many more like @rosievixen, @wangxianforever000 , @mollydarling-hphm , @morningstarinwinter , @hogwarts9, @hphm-brooke , @raymondhope-writer , @nikyiscreepy , @immagrosscandy , @mizutoyama , @ariparri-hphm and many many more.
I want to thank you all for your encouragement, support and feedback. You are the reasons why I am adding more and more details to this blog, why I dared to start with the fan comic and many more.
It's still so amazing for me to meet so many talented, creative, kind and funny people.
This year showed me again that life isn't just black or white. Life is Grey. Good things and bad things happen. Sometimes one side more than the other side. But as long we are taking the next step, life wl continues. Just keep in mind, as like you support me, I want to support you. So if you ever wanna talk, no matter what, remember you guys can always contact me.
I'm really looking forward to next year and already have so many plans. I can not wait any longer. Enjoy the last days of the year, stay safe and most important: they the way you are guys!
First of all - that's actually not the Video I was planning to cut. But since I have to stay the weekend at the hospital and not allowed to use my computer here, I have to chance my plans and have to use tiktok to cut at least a little video. Believe me, it broke my heart to use tiktok instead of my usual cutting program. And so the pictures are without the planned Effects, I am sorry :(. I planned to make a Hphm Halloween MC costume video. Every MC is another magical creatures, ghost or what ever. Hope you are OK that I use your MCs without asking 😅. And I will not finished the original Video because I want to finish the first chapter of my fan comic finally <~<.
-------------
MCs I used without asking 😅:
Elaiza Schuyler as the yellow rain kid from ES @annabelle-tanaka-official
It was your idea for the costume. I hope you are OK how I use it >~<
Arjun Singh as mumie @hogwarts9
I was searching for a macigal creature for Arjun and listened to old 90' series opening and "Mumies alive" appear. Does anyone knows the show? I loved them when I was a kid, so I decided to make Arjun a mumie. XD
Kyril Vasile @kyril-hphm / @kyril-simping as Red hood
Why does lolita clothes suits Kyril so good? It was so much fun to draw him in this dress. And the wolf's head too xD
Conor O'Donnell as Frankensteins monster @unfortunate-arrow I want to choose something special for Conor, but I didn't found anything what suits him well. But than I thought about classic "monster" and don't know why but I choose Frankenstein.
Sara O'Donnell - as a Doll @unfortunate-arrow
To be honest, Sara is like a doll in my mind, so it was easy for me. Dolls are scary but have most a sad background story. So I think it suits Sara. ^^;
Carewyn Cromwell as Banshee @carewyncromwell
I love the storys of Banshee. Especially the version of her amber cry if a member of her family will die soon. And what is also very important for a banshee? Her voice! So I thought the Banshee would suits Carey well.
Luna Silver as Vampire @lunasilvermorny
LUNA!!! We were talking about her "costume", so as you said I made her a vampire. And it suits her very well! And it was so much fun to draw her hair!
Helene Adler as Sucubbus @heleneplays
I want to draw Helen for so long and finally I did it! >~< And I instantly thought a Sucubbus would suits her! I even try to make her sexy (but I have no talent for this 😅)
Finn McGarry as Davy Jones @theguythatdraws
I am still in the hphm potc AU phase and I like the idea of Finn as Davy Jones. So I try my best to draw him! And let's be honest, Potc AU Samantha would make so much jokes because of his hand and face.
Angelo Lancaster as Angel of the Death @angellazull
Pls tell no one that I totally forgot his wings! >~< and I use your picture as inspiration but chance a few things, like his hair color so his picture will be not just white Grey and black. But it so much fun to draw Angelo! 😍
Tu Ling as Kitsune @wangxianforever000
Haaaarrrr~ finally I was able to draw Tu! I want to draw her for so long. Hehehehehehehehe. And Kitsune are one of my favorite magical creations and if I know right, she is actually a fox demon or am I wrong? 🤔
Night Rheia as Dementor @nightrhea-hphm
Also someone who told me which costume her mc would wear. First I made her skin with normal skin color, but.... I don't know it looks a bit boring because the special effects in the video are missed. But I hope you still like it.
Wendy Gordon as Selkie @drinkyoursoupbitch
Wendy!! 😍 It was clear for me to draw Wendy as a Nordic creature. And I like selkies very much. I know they are actually not evil, but I thought Selkies would suit Wendy and I try to gave her a unusual pose for me (and Whiskers xD)
Ethren Whitecross as Pyramid hat @hogwartsmysterystory
First of all - I know we never interact with each other and you don't know who I am, but Ethren is one of my favorite MC and your blog is for me one of the big three (the three blogs, why I start my blog) Q-Q but enough fangirling.
Did anyone played Silent Hill 2? I remember when I was a teenager and played the game the first time I screamed so much when pyramid hat appears and he was my nemesis for years xD and this my Frist try to draw a little more muscles *cough cough* hope you don't mind I used your MC.
Keira Jones as evil mermaid @hphm-brooke
Keiras hair as so much fun to draw! While I was drawing her I was asking myself if a mermaid need glasses? And if they do, how do mermaids that's? Anyway, I try to draw not a typical mermaid since there are fairy tales about mermaid where they are more evil and dangerous. And I like that more. A typical Ariel mermaid would be to normal.
Vixen Mcmahen as crazy clown @rosievixen
Aaaa good old horrors clowns! It was from the very beginning clearly for me to draw Vixen as a horror clown. When I start drawing she reminds me first to much as Harley Quinn, but I am happy with the result in the end. And her face expression Oo I am surprised by myself. Hope you like it too.
Danique Winter as the women in white @morningstarinwinter
The women in white is one of my favorite ghost. They are many different storys about her, but in the end she is alsway a woman who was betrayed. Personally, I like the version where she helps ppl if they get lost. And yeah... I thought it would suit Danique and it was very funny to draw her. I lobe to draw long hair! Hope you like it! *-*
And last but not least - Samantha O'Connell as Grimm Reaper. Yes, it suits her and her story. And I added a little Easter egg. The mask she is holding is her mask as a Ghost agent. The time were she was the most dangerous and able to bring pain and death to her enemies.
Still sad I can't upload the original planned videos with all original planned mc's. But my body says no. So well. I will make the best of it 🤷♀️.
Hope you guys like it. Will post the pictures in two extra posts.
