ik i should focus on requests but i just have some ideas

what if the reader from the slytherin x dormmate reader series ended up in ravenclaw? (spoiler alert he now has a ravenclaw yandere harem) will address the slytherin side of this conundrum in another post but for now i present

YANDERE HOGWARTS: RAVENCLAW BOYS X DORMMATE READER

"ravenclaw" the entire hall falls dead silent, m/n l/n, from the famous l/n family? the purebloods that have been in slytherin for centuries? a ravenclaw. the young boy had a look of horror on his face as he sat there in shock.

the sorting hat was taken off his head and mcgonagall ushered him towards the ravenclaw table. "no- but" he squeked out as he was sat with the rest of the first year ravenclaws. he felt himself bumping into someone as he sat down, oh my god did i just touch a mudblood, m/n thought, stealing a glance at the person- boy, who was next to him, merlin help me i'm going to hell.

"names michael corner" m/n heard the faint voice of another boy, his handoutstretched as the prefect led the first years up the ravenclaw tower stairs. do i have to do this walk everyday, m/n thought to himself as he stared ahead blankly. "you alright, mate?" the boy walking next to m/n spoke once again, waving his hand in front of m/n's face.

taking it one step further, the boy poked m/n on the cheek, snapping him out of his thoughts - "get your hands off me you filthy-" "quiet down first years, this is the entrance to the common room" m/n was cut off by the prefect, sending a glare the boy - maxwell?, myles? michael?.

• yeah so homeboy reader was not prepared to get sorted into any house but slytherin. i mean ig ravenclaw is better than hufflepuff or god forbid gryffindor but by a small margin.

• dude kinda misses his slythergremlins sure they were annoying but at least they aren't going to suck the magic out of him like the muggleborns in ravenclaw were.

• so reader doesn't really get off on the best foot with his new dormmates, probably says something offensive, and boom, now his dormmates hate him. not to mention his childhood friends who got sorted into slytherin as expected started giving him the cold shoulder.

• okay so they don't hate him but he does feel like the odd one out. yes his first question when he arrived at the dorms was their blood status's and he purposely moved his bed further away from them just so he didn't accidentally catch half blood cooties but it only took him six months to stop scrubbing down the shower before taking one incase one of them carried a virus that would convert him into a blood traitor.

TERRY BOOT (fancast fionn whitehead):

• terry boot is probably the most offended of the three, the other two take the readers behaviour in relative stride but terry get's pretty bothered. is it because he's upset that reader doesn't like him or is it because he's actually offended? the world may never know

• at some point he started going through readers stuff, just to make sure he isn't trying to poison us, but steals little keepsakes like socks, pins and the l/n family signet ring that sent the reader on a rampage for an entire month before he gave up on finding it.

• the winter break after that, reader came back to hogwarts with bruises all across his legs.

"you fell down the stairs? is your coordination that poor or are you getting an early start on the hereditary alcholism in your family" terry scoffed, arms folded, a sceptic expression on his face as he observed the boys bruised limbs.

m/n scoffed "the l/n house has moving stairs you dimwit" he quickly closed the door to the bathroom "you nearly fell down the staircase on the way to potions last term" he added from behind the door. terry frowned, did he see scars on l/n's arm as well? he reached down into his pocket and gripped onto the signet ring he had taken from m/n's bedside table in november.

maybe i should give it back, he thought as he observed the pattern on the ring. as he approached m/n's bed, he began searching for a place to put the ring - on the table? inside the little cauldron? under the bed.

terry kneeled down, moving the sheet's out the way as the shoved it under neath the bunk. you know what, he called me mudblood last year, he can suffer. and with that, boot took the ring and hid it back in his pillowcase.

• terry is a denial kind of yandere, at least in this case, he justifies his actions in his mind and see's nothing wrong with what he does. stealing their stuff? friends share things all the time, stalking them? no he's just going in the same direction, manipulating them? he's sorry if they feel that way but that wasn't his intention.

• his initial dislike of the reader is what fuels his obsession, he simultaneously hates them, wants to be them and wants to be with them. terry thinks he wants the reader to become more accepting of life outside the pureblood bubble he was raised in but once he does and is able to function without the help of his dormmates, terry becomes abominably jealous.

• oh, you ate dinner all on your own without having to wait for terry and anthony to sit next to you and protect you from actual muggleborns? the audacity.

MICHAEL CORNER (fancast owen teague):

• michael is nowhere near as offended as terry, he honestly finds the readers behaviour kind of amusing if not a bit weird. but all purebloods are weird like that, besides it's impossible to hate someone with such a pretty face.

• his darling might be a bigoted blood supremacist but they're his bigoted blood supremacist. he's not as pressed about educating the reader about equality as terry he just figures that eventually the reader will fall madly in love with him and decide that true love is more important than the bloodline and then they'll have 10 babies together and live happily ever after.

• so please don't burst his bubble and act disgusted or blatantly reject his advances. michael really tries to ease his darling into his affection but doesn't really understand that going from sitting next to each other in classes is not one step below sleeping in his bed with him.

"what on merlins beard are you doing" m/n yelled as he swiftly kicked michael in the stomach, flinging the other off his bed. with an oomph, corner placed a hand on his stomach "ow, what is wrong with you" he whined, shifting to lean on his elbows, staring at m/n with a shocked expression "i should be asking what's wrong with you - have you not heard of personal space"

michael clicked his tongue, his eyes rolling "surely we've known each other for long enough to have sleepovers.. you know what a sleepover is right?" "i've never even seen your family tree and you want me to share a bed with you" m/n let out a scoff "you half-bloods are like cavemen merlin help me" he laid back and covered himself with his blanket.

blinking, michael fell silent for a moment "would you like me to get you a copy?" he finally asked, elaborating when the irritated boy muttered what from under the blanket "i'll find my family tree records and give you a copy if you'd like" he replied surely, a smile gracing his face.

m/n pulled the blanket down from covering his face, "well" he started, furrowing his brows, as if deep in thought "i guess so?"

• michael is the only one who openly pursues a romantic relationship with the reader. the darling can never tell the other two's true intentions but god damn is it obvious that michael's goal is to put a ring on it.

• even in fifth year, when he had a few girlfriends, he could. not. leave. reader. alone. literally invited his darling on his dates with ginny and then cho and made several inappropriate propositions and talked about the reader too much on the rare occasions that he was alone with any of his girlfriends which is why they all broke up with him pretty quickly.

• "m/n" "what" "cho broke up with me can you date me instead" "wtf"

ANTHONY GOLDSTEIN (fancast tarjei sandvik moe):

• anthony is intrigued by the reader the moment they sat next to him on the night of the sorting ceremony. any attempts he made at befriending his darling fell on deaf ears. so.. he couldn't help but want to take a look into his mind. and he was a natural born legilimens so it's not like his darling would notice.

• becomes protective of him almost immediately after. his darling is just so fragile and needs someone mature like anthony to make good decisions on his behalf. anthony is quick to cut off his darling from his childhood friends, so that when they got over their shock over the readers sorting, reader would be too attached to his new best friend to want them back.

• he won't let the darling out of his sight, when he studies in the library so will they, they should also take the same classes as him so he can help them with their homework. will mess with their dreams if they try to distance themself from him.

what a poor baby, anthony cooed to himself as he watched m/n from a distance. his cheeks red and tear stained as he bit his index finger, a sob escaped his lips as he wiped his face with his sleeve.

sure, anthony could have stopped riddle, nott and malfoy from shoving m/n around and calling him vile names, but then he would miss out on m/n's endearing sob session that came afterwards.

in the corner of his eye he spotted malfoy on his way back, and swiftly rushed in, hooking his arms with m/n's and dragging the other off with them "wh-" "malfoys on his way back" anthony picked up his pace "were you were watching the whole time?" m/n asked shakily. anthony pulled them both into another corridor, turning to face m/n "yes" he blinked "and you didn't do anything!" the red-faced boy choked out.

anthony smirked "you.. wanted me to come and defend you from malfoy and his goons?" his heart skipped a beat as m/n remained silent, looking defeated "no- i just- uh... i don't- i just" m/n stuttered, face flushing even redder as he stared at the ground.

• anthony infantilises his darling, treating him as a child that can't do anything right. it gets even worse in fifth year when he becomes a prefect: "dumbledore made me a prefect and not you because he knows you can barely tie your own shoelaces"

• goidsteins a lil condescending towards his darling, he exaggerates their mistakes and downplays their achievements. anything to make them dependent on his constant presence. he feels bad sometimes but when they come running to him for everything, it's all worth it ✨

• unlike other groups of yanderes *cough* the slytherins *cough*, these three don't have much of a problem sharing. they're already good friends, and aren't nearly as possesive as some yandere's (le slytherins) not to mention; at first, it's only michael who is openly pursuing the darling romantically.

• terry and anthony don't realise that they like the darling in the same way michael does until like, fifth year. sure there had been cuddling, shared showers and a bit too much emotional intimacy for 'just friends' but what can you expect from a bunch of nerds 😔✋.

• the ravenclaws foster one hell of a dependant relationship with the reader, becoming the only people he isn't nervous around, convincing him everyone else wouldn't be as understanding and his old friends hate him they want him dead so they promise to look after him in return for.. access to the l/n's private library.

• no they expect affection and loyalty back also as soon as they all graduate readers going to move out of his family home and move in with them dormmates for life right?

• no they aren't the worst yandere's not by a milestone but there's just something so suffocating about them.

• the darling will eventually be pressured into a poly relationship with the three. yes they actually ask him if he wants to date them but it's a rhetorical question it's either yes, or no and they start spiking his water with amortentia - then it's also yes.

• as ravenclaws, they realise that violence is not the answer, mind control is. disobedience, rejection, and provoking jealousy will result in the use of the imperius curse or a love potion.

author's note | chapter 8: bones 🦴

thank you for reading chapter eight of Beasts! this week, it's hotting up politically - ginny meets with the minster of magic, enjoys a hot beverage with all of her ex boyfriends, finds out about the clinton impeachment and rides the east coast mainline from edinburgh to london for free with no cancellations or delays a week before christmas. now that really is magic.

got a bumper author's note this week (and some metas to follow), plus a sneak peek of chapter nine (oh the cameos we've got coming! i've got flashback fever). i am also accepting any and all guesses for who the gang will go as for the grimmauld muggle-themed NYE party. we know anthony's going as tony blair, terry boot's deciding between a terry's chocolate orange or the golden boot, but what will the rest of the DA go as? answers on a postcard/in the askbox pls. ok let's discuss this wet and wintery chapter that i wrote at the beach during a heatwave in august, for some reason

✨ spoilers for this chapter below the cut  ✨

writing things and headcanons:

the hogwarts inquiry and graves on the ministry: the chapter opens with graves (himself an ex ministry employee, though we don’t know the circumstances of his exit yet) poking holes in the wizengamot’s approach to justice thus far in the post-war period, suggesting holding individuals accountable - especially someone like thicknesse who was imperiused - misses how the entire wizarding state is implicated in wartime crimes against muggleborns and other persecuted groups. also disillusioned by the way post-war trials are going, kingsley wants to take a different course of action to get to the bottom of what happened at hogwarts during the war. a lot of post-war fics do an amazing job doing post-war justice through criminal trials, and i wanted to do something a bit different for this fic that is explicitly interested in places and institutions and the cultures they foster (hogwarts and the ministry itself, but grimmauld place and, soon, the burrow, home to different kinds of institutions, including families). like a lot of people who grew up in the uk in the early 00s public inquiries - like the leveson inquiry into media culture and phone hacking, or the chilcott inquiry into the iraq war - really left a big impression on me (though i’m sure this is also true in lots of political cultures, not least in the US in things like senate hearings etc). i also really love seeing inquiries and hearings rendered in fiction (in tv, jesse armstrong shows like the thick of it and succession), so knew i wanted to have a go writing these into this fic. there are actually quite a few inquiries of varying scale that happen in the canon series (though none are public), so we know this is a mechanism the ministry has previously used to investigate various breaches of law or accepted norms (in CoS, arthur faces one over the car; over buckbeak in PoA; into percy over crouch; dumbledore asks for one after the dementor attack on harry, which fudge rejects; into bode’s murder at st mungo’s, and into the miscarriage of justice that saw sirius jailed for the potters’ murders). i’m literally just going to quote from taylor_fannon074’s gorgeous comment on this because it’s so well put: 

‘The Wizarding World knows that their children have been forcibly put at the center of a war they didn’t know existed for most of it. Children are the first line of attack when it comes to implementing fascist ideologies. People  areso sensitive about children and it’s a perfect weapon to utilize against anything that you want. It’s why Dumbledore became headmaster when he could’ve been Minister of Magic. It’s why the Malfoys are Voldemort’s greatest allies. If it were just about the Carrows they’d carry all the blame, now the defendants are the Ministry. Kingsley is using this tactic to direct the people’s anger towards the Ministry’s systemic oppression. He’s giving the kids a platform to talk about how a werewolf was the greatest teacher they ever had and several ministry officials tortured them. It calls the ministry’s competency into question, planting the seeds of doubt. I don’t think Kingsley aiming for a full scale revolution but trying to open the curtains and get wizards more active in their community.  He’s going after that statute of secrecy next, I can feel it in my bones!!!!’

kingsley: there are so many really great reads on kingsley as minister after the war, particularly kingsley taking on the ruthless (and manipulative) instincts of a politician, and speculation about that might clash with harry’s worldview and longstanding resentment of ministers carrying about things like public image and making moral compromises to get things done. i don’t disagree with those reads at all, and think they have a ton of basis in canon. what i knew i wanted in beasts, though, was to see if you could write a different kingsley, someone who hasn’t abandoned his principles but instead is trying to centre them. i wanted to play with the idea that all politicians are the same’, asking how kingsley’s contradictions - an avowed progressive, a lifelong ministry insider with more links to the muggle world than most, a resistance fighter turned a minister of magic trusted and admired by the children of the order - would shape his approach to try to capture post-war momentum for rebuilding and make real change, whatever that might look like. i also wanted this dynamic of kingsley and ginny having some familiarity with each other that we don’t see from the canon series that might hint at some wartime interactions we haven’t seen yet. anyway i wrote this scene with kingsley and ginny ages ago and then i read the unfinished but excellent fic about ginny and post-war justice cited below and was crushed to see someone had already written a version of the same scene much better. what a blow! (read that fic)

ginny’s card-making: ginny weasley loves to decorate and she loves christmas. canon could not be clearer about this. if you think she wouldn’t spitefully refuse to wish minerva mcgonagall seasons’ greetings then i’m sorry i think you are wrong with a capital W. graves didn’t get a card but he did get an essay because she’s warming up to him a bit but cards are only for those who aren’t on ginny approval probation 

writing on the wall: actually this is just me apologising to the anon who sent me this ask ages ago and i didn’t reply because i knew i had this scene in the bank and didn’t want to spoil it but yeah basically anon i could not agree with you more!!! i think it’s really a squandered opportunity in canon not to make more of this - in those old ootp planning notes jkr was going to have ginny write on the wall about umbridge in temper, but then removed it, so clearly was thinking of the DA wall daubing as a parallel with CoS but then… gave the line to neville lol. fuming. anyway! had to be done! thank u so much anon and so sorry again!

beasts, beings and patronuses: my favourite part of this chapter to write! (obviously that’s a lie it was the bit where harry and ginny shagged but second favourite for sure). graves goes all enlightenment subjectivity theory again smh, and then suggests what’s happened with the stag antlers might be something to do with a great disturbance to harry’s soul. @saintsenara think this is me steathily building up a tomarry endgame - other theories are circulating, all theories have me salivating

slughorn: hardcore hinny shipper, we have to stan. what’s he up to? also rina girl get back to school you're making ginny look conscientious

hermione: thank you to the extremely patient romione folks in my inbox - the trouble with this plot is that i have to keep all the romione bits off stage for now (and i have written some hermione and ron pov missing moment scenes that i might drop when this plot is fully developed and the mystery has ended) but for now i’m just sorry that so far in the published chapters the hermione plot is all unhealthy coping mechanisms and no answers!

muggle london: did i go rummaging on the freedom of information requests sent to transport for london to find out adult and child fares for central london weekend travel in 1998? yes i did. you never know when the transport pedants are going to flood your mentions !!! ‘are you a child’ ‘sort of’ could be summary of the entire fic really couldn’t it

the exes: i knew i wanted an unlikely character to speak a bit of truth to ginny, someone she wouldn’t be expecting to call her on her shit. the idea of using one of her exes to do it seemed satisfying for a couple of different reasons. i liked the idea of using a character who knows ginny well and who sees through her a bit, but also has nothing to lose throwing out some tough love to her face because they don’t really have any investment in being in her good books anymore. i also liked the idea of not taking ginny’s canonical descriptions of her relationships with her exes for granted, and using those relationships as an example of previous incidences where this character has kidded themselves, or at least come up with a retroactive narrative of something that has happened to them as a coping mechanism that actually masks a bigger, more complicated truth. (i have a longer meta on ginny and her exes i’ll post this week that isn’t expressly beasts-related where i’ll bang on about my read on what these relationships were to her, but for now suffice to say it seemed important in a fic that is at heart a coming of age ginny character study to draw in characters who were likely formative for her in her teenage years in some way). dean seemed a complicated choice, though (more about him below), so… michael corner it was. 

michael corner (or: characterisation when the character has about five whole lines in the whole of canon): 

this is michael corner this whole chapter:

i had a ball trying to figure out how to write michael corner, as the discord girlies can attest. michael is a very minor character in the series, with only a handful of scenes/appearances, and he spends most of them being a little dickhead lmao. the man never stops interrupting people to call them out/correct them. in his first scene in canon in ootp, at the hog’s head, michael sasses hermione on her motivations to set up the DA (‘“You want to pass your DADA O.W.L. too though, I bet?”’ - that earns him a snippy clapback) and then interrupts harry when harry’s being modest to both praise him but also correct him lol (‘“Not with the dragon, you didn’t,” said Michael Corner at once. “That was a seriously cool bit of flying...”’.) in DH, he yells at harry for planning to nip in and nip out of hogwarts when all the DA are living in hiding (‘“You’re going to leave us in this mess?” demanded Michael Corner’), and then gets annoyed at luna for being dumb about the diadem (‘“Yeah, but the lost diadem,” said Michael Corner, rolling his eyes, “is lost, Luna. That’s sort of the point.”’) when it comes to ginny, she calls him a ‘fool’ when he almost gives the game away about the DA in the hall, and when they’re paired up at the DA and she’s killin it hexing him he’s “either very bad or unwilling to jinx her”. given his interest in his academics - and that he’s a ravenclaw - i think we can suspect it’s the latter, a display of chivalric concern that was never going to go down well with gin. they then break up after ginny decides he’s too ‘sulky’ about ravenclaw’s loss at quidditch, after which michael immediately goes off to get with cho (michael and harry bonding over their shared type fic when). but. michael’s also someone ginny (someone who does not suffer fools!) went out with for an entire year, so can’t be a total dickhead, clearly knows right from wrong and has moments of real bravery - joining the DA in the first place, but also enduring torture that neville describes as particularly horrific for trying to rescue a chained up first-year during the DH, which would almost certainly make him deserving of ginny’s respect after the war. being in the DA under the carrows must have been an intense bonding experience for all involved, and actually would have forced ginny and michael back into each other’s lives in a way that forced them to develop some kind of working relationship. all this then added up to the decisions i made to write him as he is in beasts: someone who is grouchy, sassy, contrarian, too competitive, a bit jealous of others’ abilities (the sore loser), and fond of calling people out/correcting people, but also someone who speaks his mind and whose heart is, ultimately, in the right place, a bit of an arse but not a baddie. and i think that makes sense as a character ginny weasley would be attracted to, at least initially, and who she can get behind as someone whose opinion she will listen to, with a pinch of salt.

bonus michael headcanons: other characterisation bits that are more headcanons than anything else: michael, terry and anthony’s band. ginny is canonically a fan of the weird sisters, with a poster up in her room. the weird sisters play at the yule ball.  michael and ginny meet at the yule ball. like literally nine billion other teenage relationships, wouldn’t be fun if michael and ginny first met/got to chatting because they both liked the same band? then that became: well, dean was artistic - what if ginny’s into creatives? wouldn’t it be a laugh if michael, terry and anthony, this three piece gang of boy besties, were in a band? so that became me imagining them all in a promising but bit-too-clever-for-their-own-good indie band, alt-j or vampire weekend of the 90s, very into the smiths. (the album cover ginny recognises in their flat ‘of a white turreted castle, lush woodland by a sunlit lake’ is blur’s country house - partly because the castle in that album art looks a bit like hogwarts, but also because country house was the single that, as british readers might remember, was in a very famous race for number 1 with oasis in the battle of britpop in august 1995, which became about the middle-class southern band (blur) vs the northern working class equivalent (oasis). in my mind the ravenclaw boys would have been team blur and the gryffindor boys are team oasis lol. 90s lore!) the ravenclaw boys being low key into hallucinogenic potions is literally because michael has a throwaway line in hbp where he asks slughorn about felix felicis lol (‘“Have you ever taken it, sir?” asked Michael Corner with great interest.”). so yeah that was enough to get me imagining michael and the boys as low key stoners but also into experimenting with different psychedelic substances and writing bangin’ tunes. they’re boarding school teenage boys, after all!

dean: ah dean 🥺 one day i’ll finish that damn dean fic. the dean we see here is who i imagine dean would be after the war - more lost and alone than literally any of the other main characters, properly unhappy. unlike the golden trio, or the silver trio, dean spends his deeply traumatic war alone, and i think that would fuck him up. he has to go on the run and leave his muggle family behind, a family he’s lied to about the severity of the war (“My parents are Muggles, mate,” said Dean, shrugging. “They don’t know nothing about no deaths at Hogwarts, because I’m not stupid enough to tell them.”’). he must have struggled, as the trio did, with accessing food and finding places of safety, but also had far fewer protections than the trio (no perkins tent, no invisibility cloak, none of hermione’s abilities). he’d also have had to deal with the fact that he’s a young black boy on the run in majority white racist nineties britain, where he would be hyper visible and vulnerable to the suspicions of muggles as well as the wizarding ministry and snatchers (the police/suspicious members of the public are never going to have treated a black teenage boy who seems homeless well). he briefly has the company of ted tonks, surrogate dad figure, dirk cresswell and the goblins, but then watches all but griphook get murdered. then he’s snatched, rescued, and goes to live at shell cottage with his ex’s brother lol. he would have none of the wartime bonding and sense of group solidarity that the wartime DA seem to have built, and while it seems likely he too would join the aurors if invited to punish the people who persecuted him, i think he would feel intensely isolated and lonely as well as challenged by the demands of that job, one he never really seems to crave in canon. got our first few deamus hints here but yeah basically if michael’s going thru one kind of trauma, dean’s going through another, one that he’s never going to open up to the ex who hurt him about. he doesn’t hate ginny - in DH, when he hears about the sword theft, he shows clearly still wants her to be safe and well - but he’s had none of michael’s time to build a post-relationship working friendship with her, and the emotional trust isn’t there anymore. wow bummed myself out writing that out jesus. he could have offered her a cup of tea, though. that’s just basic brit etiquette

baby’s first almost smut: look. what was i supposed to do. these two haven't shared a bed since august. if you think they’re not fucking immediately on sight i simply do not know what to tell you

Anything She Requires

cho x michael, cho x cedric | 10/27 “Room of requirement” cw: explicit sex, grief, manipulation

Cho closed her eyes in front of the blank expanse of wall, envisioning every memory down to the smallest detail.

Golden curtains.

Black trimming.

A tie thrown over a chair.

A Cleansweep propped up against the wardrobe.

The door opened onto a familiar sight, and her heart constricted tight enough to steal her breath away for several seconds.

Ever since they’d returned to Hogwarts for her “Eighth” and final year, Cho had wandered the corridors at a loss. She thought she’d gotten over her grief, over the loss of the first wizard who had made her heart skip a beat.

Cedric Diggory.

He’d been her first everything. Her first kiss. First boyfriend. First lover. Their times together were few but poignant, the vestiges of those stolen moments still haunting her to this day.

Even her time with Harry, whatever you could call such a relationship, wasn’t enough to pull her out of the vortex of her despair. There were times, brief as they were, where she’d forget for just a moment the pain that lingered. She thought it had been enough when she managed enough joy to produce her first Patronus, when she mustered up the courage to press her lips to Harry’s past her own breaking heart.

It wasn’t enough.

Now they were here again, redoing a year that should have been their last but had been nothing more than a sad parody of motions. 

It was during her wandering that she revisited the site of where her attempt at regaining happiness had gone to shit. She hadn’t seen the Room of Requirement since Umbridge had blasted open the wall. The shame had been unbearable—her “friendship” with Marietta, the broken trust with the D.A., and Harry…the look on his face. She’d failed him, just like she’d failed Cedric.

If only she’d been braver, more perceptive of others, more.

She’d been wallowing in thoughts of happier times as she paced the seventh-floor corridor, and the door had just appeared.

Then, like now, she walked into a perfect replica of Cedric’s Dorm, complete with additional four-poster beds, a window overlooking the Forbidden Forest, and a living chandelier of flowers and vines that reached towards each bed’s upper rails.

Cedric’s “belongings” covered the desk that would have been his alongside the bed where he would have slept. His book bag, the tie he’d tug off the moment he entered the room. His broom, always polished and trimmed, leaned where it always did.

The rightness of it all smacked into her hard, so right that it was wrong. He wasn’t here.

Despite the falseness of it all, Cho couldn’t help but stretch herself across his bed and bury her face into the same pillows where she’d stifled her cries as he moved above her. 

They didn’t smell like him.

Maybe if she remembered him better, they would have.

Above his desk sat pictures of the two of them laughing, hugging, kissing. If she took them with her, would they vanish the moment the doors closed? She was too afraid to try.

So she left everything as they were, returning time and time again to press herself into the familiar blankets and falling deeper into the grave that she’d buried for herself.

If anyone noticed her absences outside of class, they never said as much to her. They were likely too busy dealing with issues they all seemed to have following the war.

The door shut quietly behind her and she dropped her things on the floor as she usually did, ready to move towards Cedric’s bed. She was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to fall asleep.

A throat clearing had her screaming in fright and spinning around to face the intruder. 

Michael Corner sat in a chair he’d pulled up against the wall, situated just so she wouldn’t immediately notice him when she entered. He’d tugged off his own blue and silver tie, laying it across his knee and playing with the ends as he eyed her.

“Cho.”

It unsettled her how he just stared at her. They hadn’t talked much since returning to school. Their time together had been short, splintering just before the final battle, and followed with a single frantic shag inside a broom closet. 

They certainly hadn’t resumed relations since.

Now he was here, in a place intimate and hers. The very notion that he would be here before her was appalling.

“How’d you get in here?” Her voice came out low and harsh, and he blinked at the severity of it.

Without answering her, he stood and approached, steps slow and measured. She didn’t back up, but every muscle trembled in her indignation. He came to a stop a mere step away and reached out to gently take her hand.

“I followed you this morning. You didn’t notice me because I was disillusioned. Why are you doing this to yourself, Cho?” His thumb brushed over her knuckles, eyes intent on her and lips slightly parted.

So someone had noticed her disappearances. Was she so far gone in her obsession that she hadn’t even paid Michael any notice since returning this year? He’d kept his distance, so she had followed suit.

If he followed her in the morning, that meant he’d been here waiting for her for the better portion of the day.

“It’s none of your business what I do in my spare time, Michael.” She yanked her hand away to continue her original path towards the bed. She sat and faced him where he still stood next to the door.

“I still care about you.”

She scoffed.

“This is the first time you’ve talked to me since we’ve come back.”

“You’re not the only one struggling.” His own demons remained unspoken between them, whatever they were.

“That doesn’t change the fact that you’re invading my privacy,” she shot back, still miffed that she hadn’t even noticed him. She felt like she should have, especially in a space so thoroughly familiar to her. Spell or not, she should have detected him.

“I’m worried about you.”

She narrowed her eyes at him and scanned him blatantly from head to toe. He was easy on the eyes, despite not being as fit as Cedric or Harry. Michael had always had a smart tongue on him, which was what initially drew her interest. They’d never struggled to find things to talk about. He was clever, sometimes mean, often competitive, and had never, ever failed to get her off before himself.

Unfortunately, she didn’t want to shag him, not when the only person filling her every fantasy was long dead and only kept alive through her memories.

“Don’t be.”

She sprawled out on the bed, no longer caring that Michael was here. He could stay or leave as long as he just let her sleep.

“Would it help if I were him?”

Her head turned sharply at the unexpected question. He’d walked closer, now standing at the foot of the bed.

“What the fuck do you mean?”

He didn’t flinch at her outrage.

“I stumbled across a potion that has the ability to alter the drinker’s reality.” Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a vial with a deep golden hue. Silver flecks twirled in its depths. “Drink this, and imagine that I’m him.”

She sat up, mouth dropping in her shock. If what Michael said was true, then this might be her chance. She could be with Cedric again, here, and maybe elsewhere. As the implications of his potion worked their way through her mind, her brow furrowed.

“How long does it last? And won’t others be alarmed if they suddenly see Cedric walking around?”

“No, it doesn't work like that. It’s not Polyjuice; it doesn’t actually change my physical appearance. This only works for the recipient who imbibes it, their own desires affecting their perception of their surroundings. This is good for an hour, but I’m still working on it.” He offered the vial to her.

Still, she hesitated.

“If I take this and we…do…this…I’ll end up hurting you.”

He cocked his head to the side and served her with a smile, his dark eyes glittering in amusement. “What makes you think this isn’t my own way of coping? Better you than some stranger I don’t even care about.”

He closed the distance between them, his free hand brushing her hair away from her face and cupping her cheek. “Let me do this for you, Cho.”

She drank.

Before her astonished eyes, Michael shimmered away into a haze of gold, and when the glow dropped away, Cedric stood before her just as handsome, just as solid as he ever was.

“Cedric!” She leapt up to hug him close, sobbing into his chest, the wonderful scent she’d forgotten surrounding her again, all cedar and fresh rain.

“Cho,” he breathed, pressing kisses against her hair, hands sweeping across her back and pressing her close. He even sounded the same. 

It was perfect. He was perfect.

When they kissed, it was everything she remembered and longed for. He enveloped her with his larger frame, the difference in their heights somehow the same despite the few years she’d lived ahead of him.

He pressed her down into his bed, arms caging her in and hips slotting between her legs. She saw nothing but Cedric, tasted nothing but Cedric.

“I love you, I love you, I love you so much,” she babbled, breathless and wanting, arching into him and aching.

Cedric smiled against her chest, where he sucked bruises and lathed his tongue down her open blouse. He captured her lips once more as he filled her in one thrust of his hips. She cried out senselessly now, her nails digging into his back and urging him onward. She never wanted him to stop.

“Please, please,” she pleaded, not knowing what it was she was even asking for. She spiraled up towards a light that beckoned her, her core fluttering in anticipation of the fall.

Unexpectedly, a hand clamped around her throat, and she choked at the loss of air. Cedric’s gorgeous face twisted in ecstasy, his movements growing erratic. He pulled her leg up and over his shoulder, driving in deeper with each stroke.

Fear blossomed in her chest—Cedric had never grabbed her in such a way before. His touches had always been gentle, his lips worshipping. But she couldn’t deny the way his possessive hold sparked something new in her. The combination of it all, his stranglehold of her throat, his hand digging into her side likely to leave bruises, the unshakable belief that Cedric was here with her, drove her to the edge and she came with a garbled cry, his thumb pressing against the hollow of her throat. 

He pumped through every pulse of her climax, groaning at the way she tightened almost to the point of restriction. He let go of her to pull her other leg up, both knees over his shoulders now as he bent her nearly in half as he raced to his finish, his hands braced against the headboard.

He’d never looked more beautiful.

He collapsed to his side, pulling her along to face him as his cock slipped out and wetness pooled between them. He smiled, tired and sated, stroking her throat where he’d grabbed her.

“Go to sleep, love.”

Her eyes fluttered shut and she did as he bid, feeling happier than she’d been for longer than she could remember.

As her breath evened into the steady rhythm of sleep, Michael pressed another kiss to her forehead. His potion had worked even better than he’d expected. It didn’t matter to him that she only saw Cedric—he could be Cedric whenever and wherever she needed. He’d live out the rest of their school year in this blasted room if she demanded it.

Anything she required.

10/27 “Room of Requirement” prompt for @hpkinktober

Cross-posted on Tumblr and AO3

I want to read more works with Cho in them, either in her POV or from others. I really liked her character when I was younger, identifying with her more than others. I was so happy for her when she went with Cedric to the Yule Ball, sad for her after her experiences with Harry and the D.A., and then wondered what had happened to her after.

Michael Corner died during the BoH. Anthony named his children in honor of Michael.

Tony’s son is named Elijah Conner, Conner is a nodded to Michael’s last name. His daughter is Michal Chloe. Although Michal isn’t the feminine from of Michael the names are close enough and Anthony and his wife Sarah thought it was a fitting name

Not a fan of bashing one bit but let’s talk about what the dating prospects of Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny.

Cho-probably the luckiest in this group but she gets sidelined in DH by Ginny’s possessiveness and jealousy, and since the 4 main characters’ opinions, assumptions are almost always deemed correct, this could be a showing of how Cho would plan to sneak back into a relationship with Harry which makes her a bad person since Harry belongs to Ginny; also Cho is the only character that’s married to a Muggle. Random as hell.

Viktor Krum- becomes a sleaze in DH

Cormac- tool that does literally everything wrong and pops out of nowhere

Lavender- clingy, annoying girlfriend who gets trashed by the Trio; gets killed in DH

Michael Corner- gets made fun of for cheering up his teammate after a loss; faces severe torture in DH while at Hogwarts

Dean Thomas- gets punished for being “too chivalrous”; Harry and Ron almost want to pretty much kill him when they see him with Ginny; gets captured and imprisoned by DEs in DH

The joke of all this is: JKR is the OG lazy writing.

Also, props to Allan???

He's a doll most people have never heard of. He got discontinued forever ago cause he was perceived as gay by consumers and they didn't like that.

But I love that he had an actual role in Barbie. He was very queer coded, yeah, but he didn't like when all the Kens turned to Patriarchy. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to abandon Barbieland all together. He knew it was wrong.

And then he helped the Barbies get themselves back. He had a pink jumpsuit and sunglasses and went out all stealthy to get the Barbies in the van. He even voted at the end to keep the constitution the way it was.

Big Allan fan over here.

YANDERE HP GOLDEN ERA; SLYTHERIN & RAVENCLAW

i have so many ideas mostly revolving around past oc concepts, but in general i think the slytherin's have the most yandere potential? aside from traits (cunning, determined, yada) that go hand in hand with yandere, i also find it easier to pin point the root of their tendencies. there's slytherins like draco who are straight up entitled, and some like theo who have been raised harshly, it's not difficult to imagine a scenario where draco, theo, blaise, .. develop into the yanderes we all know and love.

there's no plan for structuring my harry potter writings, but i think it'll mostly be brainstorming headcanons. i'm focusing on the golden era, so i'll write for characters alive during this time. I'll come up with a full character list and cast eventually but for now i'm most interested in getting ideas/requests for slytherin boys (blaise, draco, goyle, lorenzo, mattheo, theodore, adrian, terrence, marcus) and ravenclaw boys (anthony goldstein, michael corner, roger davies, terry boot) but gred and forge are always welcome as well.

okay so general rules for requests: only send in requests for golden era characters (there is a loop hole "if james survived" here if you're desperate but im mostly inspired to write the characters i've listed out. reader/darling is always gender neutral, no loopholes here. also i tend to cover both platonic and romantic paths (if applicable) either way in my writings so no need to specify. that all being said hound me with asks and any thoughts.

anyways here are some headcanons that have been clogged up in my brain recently;

ANTHONY GOLDSTEIN (fancast: tarjei sandvik moe): my latest fixation, chat gpt molded most of my headcanons for yandere him. okay so not much is known about him but i'm going the route of jewish = polish = kowalski + queenie grandson / great grandson. all we have for a personality is 'friendly and good-natured' so i'm going to be making mountains out of molehills here.

i can imagine his intentions were pure first, he saw his darling didn't have the best upbringing, perhaps was a fractured individual, and 'desperately needed someone'. so he befriends them. for a long time, he's fully convinced himself his actions are done out of concern for his darling, other people really were just going to hurt them, and weren't trustworthy. and making good decisions has always been a strong suit of his, he isn't a ravenclaw for nothing, so his darling should just sit back, relax, and enjoy his company whilst he takes care of the hard stuff, alright?.

what started as a protective instinct turned into possessive jealousy, why does his darling want to pair up with malfoy for a potions assignment when he's far much more intelligent and easier to work with. actually, why do they have to speak to anyone else but him anyway? if they want a supportive friend, he's always been there. they want to banter with someone? anthony can do that!. they have a crush? they want romance? they want to overthrow the ministry of magic? no matter, he's a fast learner, and better for them than anyone else would be.

for the most part, anthony appears innocent, it's probably his darling who looks like the clingy, overattached one, because no matter what anyone else tells them, anthony will vilify them in the eyes of his darling, bringing his darling closer to him, gradually becoming more and more dependent on his constant presence. which is what he has subconsciously been working towards since he met them.

anthony is wholly devoted to his darling, and is among the more selfless yanderes (lookin at you draco). he has no future planned out, and allows his darling to take charge of the relationship so long as they don't look at anyone else. he's one of the more moldable yanderes; he adapts to his darlings personality, instead of having them adapt to his (camera pans to draco).

he's only really a danger to his darlings social life (and the lives of anyone who tries to tempt his darling away). his obsession is quiet for the most part, unlike others (draco) he doesn't need to resort to extreme measures (kidnapping) as he's able to read his darling like an open book (anthony inherited queenies legillimency and no one can convince me otherwise), and is thus able to ancitipate their needs, thoughts and desires. he'll become the only person their comfortable around;

anthony portrays himself as the one person who truly understands and supports his darling. he'll go to great lengths to prove his loyalty, even if it means crossing boundaries or engaging in morally ✨questionable✨ acts. once they finally realise just how tight of a hold he has on them, they'll be too dependent on him to do anything about it.

Reto 24: Dos personajes. Uno quiere irse pero el otro le retiene. Uno de ellos tiene que ser Hufflepuff. Rating: Para todos los públicos. ¡Vamos, hay un Hufflepuff de por medio! Reviente: Libro 5 Nota: Reto a la carta con dos finales. Elige tu propia aventura el que más te guste. Hannah corría sofocada por los pasillos de Hogwarts. Estas fiestas entre casas resultaban divertidas, una de las mejores ideas desde la fundación del Ejército de Dumbledore, pero igualmente aterradoras cuando llegaba la hora de irse y había que enfrentarse a los peligros de pasillos supervisados por el escuadrón de pelotas de Umbridge, la propia Umbridge o el sarnoso Filch. Claro que el hecho de ir agarrada de la mano de nada menos que Michael Corner compensaba con creces el sofoco y el pánico. - ¡Por aquí! – la guiaba él. Hannah tenía el corazón a punto de explotar. ¿La llevaría a…? No, no podía ser. Habían estado hablando mucho en las dos últimas fiestas: él parecía preocupado por que nunca estuviera sola. Pero algo en su interior no quería confiarse mucho. Y algo en su mente se empeñaba por llenarla de imágenes de la Torre de Astronomía, Michael, ella, las estrellas y el cielo en un beso. Llegaron al pie de las escaleras de la Torre de Astronomía y Michael los hizo detenerse. Su corazón también se detuvo. ¿Sería de verdad posible? Con la mano libre se enroscó la trenza nerviosamente. - Hannah yo… - ¿Sí, Michael? – jadeó con voz queda. - Siento no poder acompañarte hasta tu casa. Verás… [VERSIÓN MÁSQUISIERAS] - No importa, puedo ir sola desde aquí. Gracias, Michael – se dio media vuelta, antes de que Michael le dijera "...he quedado con otra esta noche", que era lo más probable, dado su carácter mujeriego y su fama“de ir de flor en flor”. ¿Por qué esa cualidad no la echaría atrás? No se entendía. Un firme brazo la agarró de la muñeca y le hizo regresar frente a él. - No te vayas – la miró a los ojos. - No quiero entretenerte. - Pero yo sí quiero que me entretengas…quiero decir…que la noche es joven y la torre es alta y tranquila. Sólo hay unas veinte personas más, pero están a lo suyo. - ¿De verdad consigues ligar tanto con esas frases sudadas y escocidas? - Soy torpe pero sincero. Quiero una noche con Hannah Abbot en la Torre de Astronomía. Tú, yo, las estrellas… - ¿Y Ginny Weasley? - No nos hablamos desde que nos ganó en el Quidditch. - ¿Y Cho Chang? - Ahora mismo estará dándose el lote con Roger ahí arriba. No nos molestará. ¿Y Hannah Abbot? - Tiene sueño. Buenas noches. - Y también tiene frío, ¿no? Porque está temblando en mis brazos. - Una palabra sobre “darme calor” y me voy. - ¿Cómo sabías lo que iba a decir? - Porque yo también he leído el "Corazón de Bruja" de esta semana y las "100 frases ineludibles a la hora de ligar". Sinceramente, Michael, antes prefiero que me hables de rebeliones Goblins a que me recites cualquiera de ellas. - ¿Y si no hablamos? – dijo él, acercándose a su cara, con ambas manos en sus mejillas. - ¡Mejor que mejor! – respondió ella, acortando la distancia. - ¡Sube conmigo al cielo, nena! – la cogió él en brazos, escaleras arriba. - ¿Pero qué te acabo de decir? – rió ella, sin importarle el eco que dejaba escaleras abajo. …. fin del sueño… [VERSIÓN OFICIAL] - ¡Michael! Ya estoy aquí – Ginny llegó echando el bofe - ¡Casi me pilla la guarra de Pansy! Hoy debe de estar especialmente rabiosa, ya que Malfoy se ha negado a traerla aquí. Menos mal – rió y miró a Hannah, quien forzó una sonrisa, soltó la mano de Michael y la escondió detrás de su túnica – Me alegro de que a vosotros tampoco os hayan pillado. Hannah, creo que el camino por el que he venido es ahora seguro. He visto a Zacharías y Justin doblar esa esquina hace un instante. Creo que te están esperando. Si te das prisa… - Pierde cuidado, que ya me voy - dijo. Y susurrando un débil “gracias” a Michael, se marchó, apretando entre sus puños cerrados los pedazos de su corazón.

---------------------

Nota 2004: La versión oficial incluye un tercer personaje y NADIE la retiene, más bien la echan, así que no valía para el reto. Pero es la que más me gusta.

Nota 2023: Este reto inspiró la escena del primer beso entre Hannah y Zack en ¡Hufflepuff Existe!, de modo que Hannah tuvo un final feliz. Ese día, al menos.
