i truly don’t know how ppl can post art Consistently. here’s another lil dump of like, a development kind of doodles... futzing around, if you will.
and i also made some bases for myself bc i wanted to mess around on a base, as you do, but then i realized obviously i can’t really do that unless i make my own bases because *i* made these creatures. y’know how it is.

Ok hear me out on this idea qsmp skephaloers I'm talking to you
I've had this fic idea for YEARS. like. actual years since the dsmp days and I'm obsessed
Ok so. I am in awe I havent really seen content of this idea at all but the TLDR is that one day the CCs wake up as their characters, on the island, eggs (which are baby dragons) and all And I don't just mean "woah omg the qsmp is real we're our characters" I mean like. Shock. Body Horror. Parental responsibilities put on these people they never expected to have, forms features and instincts they have to get used to. Phil, Quackity, Baghera, Jaiden? Hva eto get used to having feathers and other birdisms, but they have the easiest out of all the members who werent just mostly humanoid, Bad, Bagi, and Foolish for example? Have newly aqquired teeth claws strange anatomy and all sorts of other wackadoodle stuff O_o
This fic would be verrrrryyy skephalo centric, Skeppy is at his motel with Jr and eventually Puffy, that must have been a shocker lmao
I've actually sketched out a lot for this idea (specifically Bad's pov waking up and a bit of Skeppy's pov) hold on
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
blurgg as you can see very roug but hopefully it makes sense kinda ??? maybe ????
More ideas for this I rambled about:
I feel like bad and the other islanders would be working on stuff/trying to figure shit out while Puffy and Skeppy (and jr) were all trying to find if anyone else they knew was around Bad would claim he somehow "felt" Skeppy was somewhere (which is his demon soulbond he has with Skeppy, it's not just a normal feeling cough cough) and Skeppy would be convinced Bad HAD to be around also because Jr and Puffy were there, they were their characters, the fictional kid he had with Bad was with him so he just had to be Quackity and the other admins would ofc not be the gatekeeping overlords of the island and actively work to figure shit out, including using the train system and seeing if anyone else they knew was around I have an idea that they'd send people out from the island, (like maybe group members who havent met skeppy before) who find Skeppy/jr/puffy, and realize who they are Bad would have stayed on the island because of his protectiveness over the eggs (thanks demon instincts) and couldnt leave them, and they figured he'd be the best bet to keep them safe anyways, + he was losing hope that his "feeling" that skeppy was around was real and just delusion that is UNTIL the other islanders come back with a new few people ermmm shocked teary reunion when
Aaaaaand I actually sketches this out too woah (this is one I wanna clean up for SURE bc omg
Tumblr media
ANYWAYSSS you gotta get on board with this one I'm sooo so normal abt it
aughh more ideas:
- the other islanders dont know what skeppy and bad's deal is LOL half of them think theyre boyfriends (and for drama purposes, in this they are not officially yet but by god are they obvious) - Bad semi flipping the FUDGE out because his demon features are a LOT to get used to and he has instincts he has to repress and just lots of silly stuff. like why is he so pissed Skeppy's taking food from somebody else? Why does he feel like Dapper and the other eggs need to stay close to him at all times/ride on his back? Instead of his regular nervous bbh sounds he makes inhuman garbles and growls which is new, not to menation the mountainload of other things like his anatomy and going from a warm to cold blooded creature LOL his eyesight is also different and he's sensitive to light - Skeppy and Bad have like. actual children now which is a huge fucking deal hello??? They gotta navigate and talk that shit out because jr is like a 5 year old and Dapper + the other eggs while still being the admins are baby dragons O_o They went through crazy changes as well, being a baby animal comes with having baby behavior despite their intelligence - Besides ALL THAT after being overjoyed with seeing eachother again, Skep and Bad have like a little argument over Bad refusing to see skeppy as frequently as he promised to which Bad is like "are u rlly worried about that right now look around you" ermmm a little beef there but they figure it out dw
- hmmm idea what if everyone realizes that the code entity is not an admin, and is a real thing tryuing to kill them maybe (?) omg maybe - Skeppy gets to meet all teh babies!!! I have a feeling he'd get along with the eggs great but also maybe have a small rivalry with a few of them?? lol in a silly way - Islanders find more about themselves and the things they can do yay! Like ppl with wings learn to fly, ppl learn their weapons, magic users start to learn magic and they all decided to learn asl for the eggs - lotssss of angst these motherfuckers are still so confused and miss their regular lives despite the incredible and odd situation theyre in - islanders are still confused on what skeppy and bad's deal is like. they have kids they live together and dont leave eachother's sides prettymuch and go to eachother for comfort primarily - Bad and Skeppy disregard remarks and questions about their relationship THIS IS THEM CENTRIC ALWAYS N FOREVER… - skephalo need to have "the talk", bad needs to face his insecurities and skeppy needs to face his sexuality crisis
Tumblr media
silly dads with their silly kids (real) this sketch is kinda old but I wanna clean it up sometime maybe and it fits with this idea very much WRITERS HIII If someone with qsmp knowledge is interested in maybe collabing with me to bring this idea to life please do hmu
IM GOING TO EXPLODE SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME U GET ME WITH THIS ONE aughh also I want to yap about this so bad
PLEASE ask any questions u have, my response box is open and you're welcome to in the comments to!! Or dms idc
AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!! am I crazy or no
If you've read this far you are a real one anyways live laugh love skephalo

XURK1TREE 👀 it's on nof my faves aughh
The Ultra Beasts were curious, yet dangerous visitors to the world unlike anything anyone's ever seen. Humanity sought to understand these alien creatures, but found that their native dimensions were dangerous for normal people to traverse.
That's where they came in. They were designated Ulysses.
A research android built to explore Ultra Space and collect data on the worlds within and the beasts that lived there. Equipped with their own team of pokemon in case they tried to attack, Ulysses was sent out on their maiden voyage into the unknown. They were instructed to return if things proved too dangerous, but they were built for this job and they would see it through. Chalk it up to the emotions they were programmed with, just in case they met any other people in Ultra Space.
Traveling was just as unpredictable as the studies showed. Ulysses wasn't sure where they ended up- their arrival in this Ultra World was rough, and only after running a diagnostics check to confirm nothing was damaged could they examine their surroundings. It was dark here, but strangely well-lit. The sky was a deep, dark blue near constantly lit by flashes of lightning, with thunder booming to announce each strike. Odd buildings dotted the landscape, monolithic and glowing a gentle blue. They didn't see anything around yet, but...the air was practically buzzing with electricity. It was uncomfortable to their sensors, and they didn't quite come prepared to deal with overcharging... The best solution was to move through quickly, find the beasts, gather data, and leave. Easy 20-minute expedition!
The buzzing in the air grew louder, almost painfully so, and the robot had little time to react to lightning striking VERY close to their position. Warning symbols flashed in their vision, the electricity was getting too much for them to handle and they had JUST arrived! Ulysses ambled away towards a rocky outcrop that provided some cover...but the storm likely wouldn't let up, and too much exposure would damage them and potentially deactivate them for good. It would seem they weren't nearly as prepared as their creators would've hoped...outside of the overflow of electricity, shame filled their circuits at the thought of their first mission being a failure.
Outside of the warnings flashing over their vision, Ulysses could pick up on movement. A sign of life in this barren place could only mean one thing- an Ultra Beast! What approached was easily twice Ulysses' size. It appeared to be humanoid in shape, but closer inspection revealed that its body was made of countless cables and wires, bound in some spots by glowing white bands. Its hands were purely metallic and sharp at the ends, looking like claws. Its head resembled a starburst, or maybe some kind of spark- visual analysis was a bit difficult due to their current state, but Ulysses recognized it as UB-03. A thick cordlike tail wagged behind it, and it was drawing ever closer to them...
Ulysses could note that its head was flashing at them. It was too rhythmic to be just random- could this be how it communicated? It wasn't like they understood, but they were in no position to do anything...they could feel some of their limbs shorting, causing them to jerk erratically. The beast flinched back, before drawing closer. A curious hand reached out, watching electricity jump between its finger and their body. After a moment of what seemed to be deliberation, it got closer. It didn't seem hostile at the very least-
Suddenly, Ulysses found themselves being hoisted up by the back of their suit. While it still didn't seem hostile, it was still well over twelve feet tall. It lifted the robot up a bit above its head, which tilted around a bit as if it was studying them. Then its other hand came up, moving towards its torso which was strangely "unbound" compared to the rest of its cablelike body. It opened itself up, wires parting and opening into a space that it was now lowering them into. Were they being...consumed? Ulysses was helpless to stop it from doing whatever it wished. At this point, it was preferable to being out in the harsh elements.
They were lowered into a loosely bag-shaped space, and the cables that parted to accept them inside moved to trap them. The inside of the beast was just as strange as the outside- the space shifted and pushed against them, with the internal cabling being covered in a light layer of some sort of slime. Blue lights traveled along the cables that surrounded them, particularly where their body touched the rubbery surface of the cables. Ulysses could feel electricity draining from their body...could it be leeching power from them? The warning symbols faded away as the excess electricity was leeched from them. As observed, this beast seemed to feed on electricity...the lightning strikes outside would likely keep it well fed. It wasn't likely it could digest them...but when was it going to let them out? Pressing at the cables did nothing for the research android. It wasn't drawing any more power from them, so this position allowed for some extensive data collection for the time being.

dude your art is so amazing..i fucking love how you do anatomy, and linework, its just so perfect and also your qsmp designs??!? so fucking cool. your deathduo especially is so so dear to me<3 and your bluebird au(/aus?) amd your bluebird art in general its just so <33333…and your qsmp entities like cucu and eye creature and especially baribel, MAN those are singlehandedly my favorite qnpc designs theyre so great like. how the eye guy just has Teeth that come out of his head wherever?? and all your little headcanons about the bears??? THEYRE SO COOL MAN. and your philza with the patches on his pants n the baby zombie scar on his leg (also whats the scar on his nose from?)(also also i love your phils hair, like the short with the little braid its so neat:DD), and pommes hijab braids, and the zippers on th back of cucu and ositos heads (i have yet to figure out what those are for but ehatever theyre cool anyway) n just like. the thought and detail that goes into them, im rambling but aa<333 theyre all amazing:) OU AND YOUR COMICS,, i love love love how you structure n format them because theyre so dynamic and interesting while still being super readable and the ART IVE SAID IT ALREADY BUT I NEED TO SAY IT AGAIN I LOVE YOUR STYLE SO MUCH. its just so nice. like how you use general shapes and like i dont know how to explain it but its cool:)) your art lives in this little spot in my brain rent free…made me subconsciously kind of incorporated stuff you do into my own art process like sketching shit in blue LOL
anyway sorry for the wall of text i just needed to rant a tiny bit because youre one of my fsvorite artists n you inspire me so much ssob,,anyway have a good day mate
This ask makes my heart explode oh my goddd. I'm so happy you enjoy the stuff I put out augghh that so sweet THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE IS SO SWEET WTF. I hope you are ready for a ramble about hc/theory/design choices. Seriously its long-
I have so many head canons I like showing. Some lean towards theory territory and others I legitimately do not believe in myself BUT I like drawing it out because WHY NOT !!?? I like the whimsy of it all
THE BLUEBIRD AU is purely me having fun. Its such an angst filled au that is coated with a mask of nuclear family and hurt/comfort. In reality its like being hit with a sauce pan repeatedly. I'm more of a scientist Jaiden believer personally. DON’T GET ME STARTED ON DEATHDUO- Man I want to go back to drawing self-indulgent stuff for that. Fuck this ask is making my brain engine go insane AUGHH-
Like stuff about Osito just being a huge flirt because of their exposure to Roier from the beginning or Baribal being a pot head, yeah those sort of head cannons I'm sure people are dying to hear from me (sarcasm). Or more serious ones like the relationship, more like lack of, between Cucurucho and Baribal being one of miscommunication that snowballed into hate but never enough to kill each other. Literally the trope of "twins separated where one is raised within evil and other is forced to take them down" but it's very dark grey from both sides. YESSIR
Or other theory territory like federation not knowing that Cucurucho and Osito are not the same person because it’s a secret- BUT THAT’S VERY FANON/THEORY TERRITORY AND TOO CONVOLUTED FOR HERE-
Oh and of course more tame head cannons like sexualities and stuff. Cucurucho is aromantic to me. All of them are transgender. The entire fed staff. Fuck even the purgatory island goobers. No real concept of what gender is and sort of adopted what the islanders do or what the federation refers to them as. It's just not a thing, same with labels on sexuality. If you like someone then you just like them and that’s how it rolls !!
THE WATCHER. MAN DO I HAVE THOUGHTS ON THIS GUY. Like actual constant threat and you are left scrambling trying to figure out the rules of not pushing the wrong buttons so you stay alive. I know his concept art had like him as a human at some point, but I like fungus goop watcher more. Little goober who just so happen to survive the longest, learn the most, and as a result evolve to what he is now. Eventually became strong enough to overthrow the previous leader (and consume them-) and is now king of the purgatory island in privacy. Until the new islanders were sent there ofc. So yeah, bro is very old, its why Cucurucho has no clue who this dude is when he does get to put a face to the name.
PHILZA. This guy is the kinda guy to put survival above all. So I like to imagine that not only would he be covered in scars because he tanks most of the hits and is generally a very selfless person- SOME SCARS HAVE A REASON ! The zombie scar being one of course, semi infected bc I like to think that he did not die in his hc world but rather came close to it. And his buildings is what caught the attention of the goddess of death and allowed for her to give him immortality and be her eyes in the mortal realm as her angel of death. So the poison is still in his foot, just unmoving. Stuck in time just like his body unable to age. As for the scar on his cheek? Nightmare Stalker grabbing him by the face and throwing him in the ocean the second time he tried to get up to save Tallulah. The only evidence left of that night happening. YES SHORT HAIR PHILZA AND POMME WITH A HIJAB YESSS
The zippers are supposed to show that their "head" is not actually what they look like. It’s a helmet/mask. I don't draw their real faces out of fear of making them look too "human" but rather I enjoy the implication that they COULD LOOK LIKE any other islander. Isn’t the thought that this horrible twisted shell of a being could look just as human as you so much more eerie? I dunno I was watching horror analysis videos of the unknown while building the fanon side of them- Now why their masks can emote?,,, its cartoon logic !! And it's cute I have so many thoughts on these guys can you tell? OH MY GODD THANK YOU THO. Augh this is the sweetest message ive ever read pls.im so so very glad these little guys can make you happy. That’s such an honor fr !!

Tf2 fans, how are we feeling about mythical creature aus. Personally i LOVE them and i have my own little artworks and ideas and i just adore them AUGHH,, i love being cringe,,, ramble/art below the cut
Tumblr media
Backstory for this pic is Scout heard that Sniper's double his size and tried to prove he's tough enough to get him off the ground, which he somehow managed.
Ive got my own assigned creatures to all of the mercs like scout being a shark merman, soldier being a minotaur, spy being a betta fish merman, etc. etc. I might post about em more soon if anyone's even interested in this, but for now i'll list them in the tags :-)
Ive set up this whole backstory about how they're all together too,, the admin is just this crazy rich gorgon lady and, in exchange for providing them protection and money, gives em specialized work. She essentially pays off the humans to ignore the workforce she's collected/the rather strange jobs they do,,
The main crew pretty much just does the same old merc work from the comics. They arent necessarily "special" despite everything i just told you. Yes, theyre creatures of myth, but there's more than enough beasts on the administrator's force to take care of those other odd jobs you might expect a mythical creature to handle. They're the same old team but mythified i suppose
Tentaspy and vampire medic are pretty common examples of this type of media and i love em both to death, but i made different versions of them for this trope. i appreciate being able to make this weird, fun, cringy artwork for myself and i hope if you've read this far you like this type of stuff too

hide, pain, and future from the ask game?
for koi and rosé :3
cw/tw: very quick mentions of addiction, unhealthy coping mechanisms, manipulation
for Koi and Rosé
Hide
Koi
Koi hides in a much more literal sense than Rosé. He’s constantly on the run and tries to avoid attention because of that, despite being a fairly extroverted person when he’s in the proper mental state. In a less literal sense, Koi tends to hide his fear and lack of control over a situation. He’s not too hard to scare, but it’s pretty hard to get him to show it. He has a whole cycle of emotions he goes through before he finally gives in. His mental health is terrible, so he spirals a lot into paranoia and unhealthy habits (mainly smoking and drinking) as a way to avoid confronting his emotions. He’s not afraid to cry around people he trusts and he really does try to express himself, but he doesn’t want people to worry about him. He wants to be able to take care of himself even when that’s the worst thing he could possibly do.
Rosé
For Rosé, I’d say he hides his anger. He’s driven by revenge and spite, but if you asked anyone he’s worked with, they’d say he’s a very charismatic (or menacing) person. He hides behind a mask of charm and makes himself into a caricature of a person because it’s a lot easier to distract himself when he’s someone else. He doesn’t let anyone in emotionally because he no longer relates to the people he surrounds himself with. Even the most fantastical creatures seem so clueless. He lacks any sort of empathy towards other people because they’re not important to him. that’s probably not healthy my man!
Pain
Koi
“Oh wow uh, I don’t know. Most of the experiments that I went through had me completely knocked out from beginning to end, so none of those were painful. I think I have a pretty high tolerance. Tough skin or whatever.” He paused, scratching at his wrist with a faraway expression that snapped back into focus a few moments later.
“I mean emotionally it was probably realizing that none of my friends were ever actually my friends and that they all want me dead now and a person that I thought I could trust and considered my fucking family used me for years just to get me to— y’know… I… Don’t know. I don’t know why I’m still so hung up over it either. He’s a bad person. I know that. But before everything he actually made me felt like I belonged there.”
Rosé
“Pain? My, it’s been a while since I’ve experienced that. Well, my dear, you’ve got me thinking over your question! Oh, what could it be? Perhaps use your eyes. You have them for a reason. Or maybe you’re just not the best at deduction? Surely you can’t think that these are natural.” He motions to his wings with an elegant and theatric hand. “It wasn’t an enjoyable process. I’ll tell you that much, darling. Revisiting such memories would be such a waste of time… I’ve found myself drowning in them if I put too much emphasis on it.”
“Anyways, are you looking for anything specific today, or are you just here to waste my time?” His smile strains ever so slightly, but his voice is still buttery and smooth.
heee’s lyinggggg but oh wellllll :333
Future
Koi
“…I just don’t want to go back. Anything’s better than going back to that place. As long as I can avoid that, I’m getting an outcome I’m okay with. I don’t care what happens to me as long as it keeps me away from him. I don’t think I can handle seeing him. I wouldn’t be able to think. To move. I probably wouldn’t run even if I could.” He dug his fingernails into his sleeves and looked down, tense and frozen in place.
“Sorry… Aughh. We were in the middle of talking, shit. I didn’t mean to just go silent on you. But yeah uh, I’m just hoping to avoid the D.A. I think I’m doing pretty well with that. I’ve only been brought back once, and that’s only because I made a stupid mistake, so it doesn’t count.”
Rosé
“Ohh the future… That means very little to me. My actions don’t really affect me, after all. It’s a glorious thing, I can do whatever I want and face no real consequences! Boring after a while, sure, but that’s why you mix it up a bit! I like to tempt those who too have lost joy in the mediocrity that the world has trapped them in. Those with impossible desires… And then I like to watch them enjoy their gift and new life, only to find they have ruined themselves and nothing can be fixed.” He holds out a palm, illustrating his words through spirals of pink and white that crumble in his grasp seconds later. “But for me? The worst outcome I could possibly think of has already passed! Things can’t get worse! They already have dipped and fallen and I have experienced the best and worst of things! Humanity is fucking fowl! And not just them either, every living and even the non-living! Even the gods are flawed and disgusting in their own right, my dear. So in short, I don’t care what happens. I’m simply along for the journey.”
sorry this took a while i had NO motivation to write but here u go :3 feast!!! thank you for sending in the asks!!!

Cross that. Don’t answer that.
Title: Cross that. Don’t answer that.
Pairing: Charlie Weasley/F! MC
Summary: Care of Magical Creatures isn’t really your forte, but it sure is Charlie’s expertise. You do so much better with research and writing essays, and your latest one (How Everyday Words are Just as Magic as Latin Spells) was a hit with Professors Flitwick and McGonagall that it made a lot of sense for the Weasley boy to ask you to write an essay together. The problem? Well… the topic really doesn’t pull back their punches.
Word count: 1239 words
Author’s note: I’m back with my second fic! A little short, but I was compelled to just write this for some reason. A little bit of innuendo and awkwardness featuring our one and only Dragon boi. Tagging @delicrieux who hosted the 11K challenge which got me back into writing and @wispila who mentioned me as a HPHM blog to follow ( ˶˘ ³˘(˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)♡
“Alright class, gather round me!” Professor Kettleburn called for the attention of the students. The class slowly gathered near the eccentric professor, their chatter not yet dying down.
“Say Charlie, have any idea what he’s going to teach us today?” Penny asked as she bounced from foot to foot, making the damp soil squelch beneath her shoes. “Doesn’t really seem like the best day for Fire Crabs.” Barnaby nodded, “I agree with Penny. Since it just rained the Fire Crabs are more likely to either be sleeping off the cold weather since they’ll move a lot more slowly.”
“Or,” Charlie interjected “they could be pairing off to nest for the rest of the year. It’s about time for that anyway.”
“Engaging conversation, my dear students!” Professor Kettleburn beamed and clapped his hands. “And right on topic too. In fact, class, this is what our class will be talking about for this class. Now, as it is us Professors must make sure that what we teach you isn’t too ahead or too behind with your age and err… knowledge of the world at large, if you will.” He began awkwardly. “And how more creature; magical or not, sentient or not, came into being…”
“Oh god, this is awkward…” Rowan whispered from the corner of his mouth. Looking around, it was a sentiment shared by many. Even Merula and Ismelda. Penny winced, “Reminds me of the talk my parents gave me before term started.”
“Lucky you even got a talk,” Tulip snorted. “Me mum just gave me a worn pamphlet an’ was all ‘Well Tulip dear… You’re a grown lass and will want to explore. With who is none of my business, but I am too young to be a grandmother and you remember that!’” She even mimicked the movements, with her hands on her hips.
“At the very least it wasn’t an elder sibling the one giving you any sort of talk…” Charlie pursed his lips. You couldn’t help but snicker at his misfortune. “Bill gave you the talk? Blimey, do tell how that went.” He rolled his eyes at you.
“Well, when the time comes and you need tips to seduce the bloke of your dreams don’t come to me for help.”
“Charlie,” Rowan began. “You are th-aughh! F/N, I was just-
“Keeping quiet, right?” Your eyes shot daggers. “Come on we should try to pay attention. If it’s uncomfortable for us, imagine how Kettleburn feels so the least we could do is pay attention.”
 “So, in short, today after completing your sketches on Fire Crabs start on a diagram of a Bowtruckle’s anatomy. Work in pairs, and later I’ll assign you essay topics. So without further ado, class is in session!” Professor Kettleburn waved an arm in the direction of the students.
 “Your Bowtruckle diagram is very detailed, Lee.” Charlie walked over to join you and your housemate. “It’s even the real size!”
Barnaby looked up and smiled. “Thank you, Weasley. I told (L/N) I was having trouble drawing it, ended up too big or too small. So she had the brilliant idea to have Barnaby Jr lie on my parchment and have me trace him.”
“Barnaby Jr?”
“Well, he’s technically (L/N)’s baby but we’re doing this co-parenting thing  and-
“Co-parenting.” Charlie deadpanned, and it made your stomach drop slightly.
“Yes, it was one of the smaller sessions. If I’m not mistaken you had Flying lessons then.” You smile, quill tapping aimlessly on your parchment. Charlie’s eyes dropped to focus on your gesture. You always did that when you were around him.
“I wish Kettleburn let me name a Bowtruckle.” He sighed, sitting down nestled between the two of you. “I’d have name him something cool, like Ridgey.”
“Ridg- how is that cool?” You snorted.
“Like the dragon!” Barnaby grinned. “I like it.”
“Alright, Romeo and Romeo… The next time Kettleburn asks me to name a creature I’ll call for you two.”
 “Alright children, pair up now! Khanna, you take Lee please. If he ends up with Weasley, their essay will undoubtedly end up in a different albeit enjoyable and enlightening direction. Sorry to part you from (L/N), but it’s for my sake.” Kettleburn muttered the last part of the sentence under his breath. “I have also put the topics of your essays in this box. This is to avoid embarrassment on both our sides, as well as to avoid me being called in for review yet again. So please line up with your partner and take a topic from the box. Once you’ve received the topic, you are free to return to the castle. Any exchange request will not be entertained.”
You looked around to see that most of the class had already paired up. A pair of blue eyes met yours. The owner cocked his brows.
“Want to pair up?”
“Sure can, Weasley. Your partner did steal mine.”
“Hey, at least we can work on our essays in the common room! Khanna and Lee can work in theirs, too.”
A box was shoved into your chest. “Always dilly dallying, (L/N). How do you expect to find the vaults that way?” Merula sneered. “You’re the last to choose, so you’ve got whatever leftover topic.”
“Thank you, Merula.” Charlie smiled politely. Your lip curled slightly in amusement. Ever since she was told off by your red-head extraordinaire of a partner, Merula has been playing nice. (As nice as Merula Snyde can get, and only during shared lessons.) Violet eyes smothered haphazardly in black eyeshadow met yours and narrowed. “Sod off.”
He took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the box. “Want to do the honours and read the topic?”
“Sure.” You took the paper. Unfolding it gingerly, you read the topic and couldn’t help but laugh. Just your luck.
“Um… what’s so funny? I didn’t think Kettleburn would be intentionally funny…?” Charlie’s brows knitted in confusion. Gently, he took the paper from your grasp and read it himself. “‘The study of breeding techniques and the differences between sentient and non-sentient magical creatures.’ Merlin, this is a loaded topic.”
