Teddy Lupin’s 17th birthday.

I think this might be too fluffy to publish on ff.net/ao3, but I know you guys appreciate sickening fluff. A Harry and Teddy godfather/godson fluff piece, mild warnings for alcohol use.

The laughter was loud, the wine was being poured, Ron and George were digging around in the pantry for the beer they were sure was stashed away somewhere. There was a rumbling upstairs from the kids racing around, and a shrieking - a loud thunk made Harry and a handful of the other parents look up at the ceiling, but when they only heard an irritated ‘Owww!’ rather than anything that sounded like a serious injury, they went back to laughing over Angelina’s anecdote.

Molly and Audrey busied themselves with the food, a stunning display of salads and charcuterie boards, crusty bread and bowls of olive oil and balsamic, several rotisserie chickens and plates of neatly arranged seafood Ron had already loudly insisted he wouldn’t touch. Hermione was enchanting streamers and bunting of every colour to drape themselves elegantly around the room, and Angelina, pins in her mouth, was putting up the happy birthday banner.

Hiiiiiii :) I love your Next Generation Aesthetic and was wondering if you could share some of your next gen headcanons with us?

Thank you so much😘 ofcourse  I’ll share some of my headcanons with you :) I’ll do them oneby one and go from oldest to youngest. Oh and sorry it turned out so long

Teddy:

He was born on 13th April, the day after the full moon

When he was a baby/toddler he used to change his hair depending on whatever mood he would happen to be in

Molly and Arthur always saw Teddy as their first grandchild

Even though he lives with Andromeda, he still spends a lot of time with the Potter’s or at the burrow

Because he often changed his appearance without even noticing, he couldn’t go to a normal kindergarten/preschool 

This lead to Victoire being his first real friend

“Why does Vicky call Bill ‘Dad’, but I’m not calling you ‘Dad’, Harry?”

He’s four when he asks this and it’s the first time someone tells him

He cried, he felt sad, but he still didn’t understand completely, because how could a four-year-old understand that

But he wasn’t alone

He had his grandma, Harry and Ginny

And they loved him

From this day on he always made three cards each Mother’s Day: One for his grandma, one for Ginny and one for the woman who loved him so much that she died for him

When he was six and James Sirius was born he had a little bother

He was nervous when he left to go to Hogwarts

Would he be a Gryffindor like his dad and his expanded family?

A Hufflepuff like his mother and his grandfather?

A Slytherin like his grandmother?

Or the first Ravenclaw in the family?

It didn’t take long for the sorting hat to put Teddy into Hufflepuff

And it that moment his hair turned bubble gum pink

For his 13th birthday Harry gave Teddy the Marauder’s Map

When people met Teddy as a teenager it didn’t take long for them to realize that the word ‘Hufflepunk’ existed because of this boy

Is just as clumsy as his mother (Oh wait that’s canon)

He was 15 when he realized that he had fallen in love with Victoire

He was 16 when he told her

He was 17 when Bill found out and was glad that he knew how to disapparate by the time

When he left Hogwarts (with excellent grades) he became a healer at St. Mungo’s

Victoire:

Looks like a mini version of her mum

Followed Teddy around everywhere when they were little

Hide and seek champion

Is one of the few Weasley’s that would rather die than sitting on a broom

Teddy mocks her about this sometimes

“You don’t like flying either!”

“Yes, but I didn’t scream that I would die, when I was only two feet off the ground.”

She was the first Weasley to get sorted into Ravenclaw

Perfect and Head Girl

Speaks perfect French, but likes to hoax people

“Can you say something in French?”

“Tu es un abruti.”

“What does that mean?”

“You’re really beautiful.”

Looks like an innocent little girl, but if you make her angry you better run

Wears a different flower in her hair everyday

On Halloween she however always wears lilies

After the other girls were old enough to understand the meaning behind this, they started doing this too 

Fred II:

If you think that his name is everything he shares with his uncle you’re terribly wrong

Is in the same year as James Sirius and this is a combination Hogwarts was not prepared for

Proud Gryffindor

Is the only student to never be pranked by Peeves

George never tells him why, because the memory still hurts

Is one of the Gryffindor beaters since his second year

After he finished school “Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes” finally becames “Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes” again

Once created a potion that jumped out of the cauldron and disappeared through the wall

No one knows how that happened

Molly II:

Is also in Fred and Sirius year

The sorting hat was already confused after he had to sort a James Potter and Fred Weasley again, but when he heard Neville calling out “Molly Weasley”, he thought they were making fun of him

He however realized that this one was different after he sorted her into Ravenclaw after 14 minutes

Perfect and Head Girl

She is a rather quiet girl

But if she wants something she will do anything to get it and is a lot like her father in this point

Even though Molly isn’t as big of a prankster as her two cousins she still helps them often

When Percy got a letter from McGonagall telling him that Molly got a detention, he couldn’t believe what he just read

Molly was also the one who figured out how to add new things to the Marauder’s Map, like the Room of Requirement

Molly still is one of the kindest people you would ever met and has a heart out of pure gold

James Sirius:

Just like Fred II this boy lives up to the legacy of his name givers

And with his messy black hair and his brown eyes he looks a lot like his grandfather

Each year on Harry’s birthday James rendered Ginny’s poem

Is one of the Gryffindor beaters

Became team captain in his fourth year

There were some protests once, because at one point the Quidditch team was Potter and Weasley only

Is extremely good at charms

Teddy gave him the Marauder’s Map at the beginning of James’ third year

Is always super protective when it comes to his siblings and cousins

One time he and Fred had to sort out old detention slips, when he had THE idea

The two of them spend days counting how many pranks the marauders and Fred and George pulled throughout their time at Hogwarts

After they counted all of them together they had a new goal

They would beat them and pull more pranks then all of them together

In their seventh year they were worried that they wouldn’t be able to beat them

But they did

Their last prank was after their N.E.W.T.s

And it was the ultimate prank

This was also the only day McGonagall truly thought about retiring

Lucy:

Other than her sister Lucy hates her red hair

She started dying it when she was 14 and changed its colour all the time

At first because she thought it was cool, later to annoy her dad

Even through blood status wasn’t important to her, she was still kind of proud that she and Molly were the only pureblood Weasley kids

Is super curious

Often eavesdrops on other people

Loves gossip

Is one of the chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team

Super smart and loves playing chess

Likes to be alone sometimes, but still can’t be too long without her two best friends/cousins

Great at Divination

Dominique:

Was born on the first May which lead to problems between her and Victoire, because they both hated to have their birthdays so close together

Rebel heart

The only thing she has in common with her sister is her blond hair and that she will kick your ass

Amazing artist

Like really, that girl has some talent

Wears black 99.9% of the time

She, Lucy and Roxanne share a dorm in the Gryffindor tower

When it comes to friendships between the Weasley kids, theirs is the strongest

These three are the gossip queens of Hogwarts

Kind of hoped that she would be sorted into Slytherin, but knew that she belonged into Gryffindor

Refuses to speak French, when people ask her to

Gryffindor Chaser

Roxanne:

Loves that she has naturally red hair and dark skin

Is an awesome singer and loves music more than anything

She is the other chaser of the Gryffindor Quidditch team

Always wears a choker necklace

Ripped jeans

Is gay and has a crush on this cute Hufflepuff girl in her year

Sassy as hell

Shares the love of her grandfather for Muggle things (she prefers the old ones)

Lucy and Dominique are the only ones who are allowed to call her Roxy

Leader of the “Pluto is a planet” society at Hogwarts

Activist, literally will start a demonstration if she really wants something

Scorpius Hyperion:

Really quiet

Sometimes hates it to be a pureblood, because of the prejudices

Loves his father AND HIS MOTHER, WHO IS STILL ALIVE AND LIVES HAPPILY WITH DRACO!!!!!!!!!

Will never feel ashamed for his father and will defend him every time someone tries to talk bullshit about the Malfoys

Is totally gay for Albus

Reads a lot, spends more time with books than with people

Only person whose character was good in Cursed Child

Is Narcissa’s “little prince"

Had a happy childhood

Is always welcome at the burrow and at Potter’s

Does not give a f*** about whether someone is a pureblood, half blood, or muggle born thing

Slytherin Perfect

Rose:

Of all the Weasley’s Rose is the best at Quidditch

She’s a keeper

Is the only one who got into the team in her first year

Became captain after James graduated

Is super smart like her mom

But will procrastinate for as long as possible

Oh, what was that? You were insulting someone I like? Let me just PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE!

Biggest Scorbus shipper of all time

Looks like Hermione, but with red hair

Is super close with her dad

Ron was the one who thought her how to be a perfect keeper

But sometimes she asks Ginny or Angelina for Quidditch advice

Albus:

The hat actually wasn’t sure whether to put Albus into Gryffindor or Slytherin

He wanted to be in Slytherin

Doesn’t play Quidditch, but loves to watch

When its Gryffindor vs. Slytherin he will cheer for his house, but won’t boo on his family

Loves his little baby sister and his idiot brother ;)

Is totally gay for Scorpius

Also rather quiet

Smart, he knows what he’s doing and always thinks before acting

Once found Snape’s portrait at Hogwarts and talked with him all night

Oh, and just a reminder that Neville is canonly Albus’ godfather

Louis:

Went to Beauxbaton till his fourth year

He came back, because he wanted to be with his family after all

Is the only other Wotter Slytherin

Is a poet

When he lived in France he used to write many long letters to his family

Needs his time alone

Knew he wanted to be an author when he was 13

Published his first book with 19

Is the only person to publish a Harry Potter biography

Well at least the only authorised person

There is this one book written by Rita Skeeter, but that’s a different story

Lorcan and Lysander:

Identical twins

Lorcan is still older

Lorcan is a Ravenclaw like his mom

Lysander is a Hufflepuff like his dad

Newt always told them stories about his creatures when they were little

The two of them love to listen to their great-grandfather

They also love grandpa Xeno’s stories about all these weird magical beings no one ever saw

Are full of love and will offer help to anyone who needs it

The two of them, Lily and Hugo were always seen together at Hogwarts

When Louis came to Hogwarts he joined them

Do the Quidditch commentary in turns (sometimes together)

Hugo:

Is really shy

Will let Lily or Rose do the talking most of the time

Has probably read more books than his mother when she was his age

Doesn’t play Quidditch, but loves to box

Great at Transfiguration

Thinks a lot about becoming an Animagus

Even though he is one of the youngest Weasley’s he still acts like some big brother forwards younger students

Is a Perfect

Lily Luna:

Has Lily’s eyes (I don’t give a f*** about canon when it comes to this)

Luna is her godmother

Is Harry’s little princess especially when she was younger

Could do anything and he just couldn’t be mad at her

Puppy eyes

This scene  could happen at Potter’s

Loves her whole family, but if she had to pick a favourite it would be Teddy

He’s also the only one she will listen to

When she was young she was the cutest little girl you could imagine

Is the seeker of the Gryffindor team

After she joined the team it was all Potter and Weasley

From all three potter kids she is the one who is the closest to Harry’s personality

She really loved being like her dad until she was older

She didn’t like people comparing her to him

She didn’t like only being “The Chosen One’s daughter”

She just couldn’t stand that people were seeing her just as his daughter and nothing else

“The new Gryffindor seeker is Harry Potter’s daughter, just like her father.”

“The best student in DADA is Harry Potter’s daughter, just like her father.”

And even when she did something that had nothing to do with him she was still just his daughter

“The new member of the Gobstone club is Harry Potter’s daughter.”

She even just joined, because she wanted to be NOT like him

That was when her rebel phase began

At some point she even stopped to talk to Harry (even though she knew it wasn’t his fault) and it broke his heart

And this was worse than James or Fred or Dominique or anyone else

She learned to deal with it in her sixth year (people also started to see as an own person)

But the relationship between her and Harry was still tensed

Even after she started to talk to him again

In her last year she found an old motorbike

When she asked Harry why he had a motorbike, but never used it, he started to explain that is was Sirius

For some reason they bounded over this moment

Lily was the only person with who Harry talked about Sirius after the war

Like really talked, not just a little bit

He gave it to her after she graduated and it was the best present she ever got

The only thing that was left from her rebel phase was the fact that she still refused to use Expelliarmus even though she became an Auror

She only used it one time again, after some dark wizard tried to kill Harry and she was the only one to notice it fast enough and disarm him

lily evans because why not?

no.

she was not strict.

she was not just a teachers pet.

she was not a goody good two shoes.

she was NOT hermione!

its like everybody just wants lily to be the marauder version of hermione.

she was a mixture of hermione, ginny and bits of luna.

she was vibrant.

she was funny.

she was chill.

she didn’t get hyper when james flirted with her. she just quipped back.

“Hey Evans, if I see you naked. I’d die happy.”

“Yeah. but if I see you naked I’d die laughing.”

she swore.

oh, she swore so fluently and beautifully it was like it was another language itself.

but she never swore in front of the firsties.

nah, she loved them. she was like a little mother to them.

she helped them in finding their classes and everything.

she didn’t hate the marauders. she just hated it when they bullied people and when they cough james cough flirted with her.

she didn’t become friends with remus first.

oh no, she didn’t.

it was actually peter. she understood his insecurities.

and then it was remus. she figured his furry little problem out.

and then sirius. 3 am in gryffindor common room. before christmas the blacks had sent the gift him gave them back. it was a framed photograph of the time when they were kind of a happy family.

and then it was james. once he stopped his stupid bullying stuff, she was happy enough.

she asked him out.

in the great hall, in front of everyone.

and then she walked out.

he stood dumbfounded while everyone was hooting and cheering.

sirius pushed him and he ran after her and kissed her.

they were everyone’s OTP.

she was very fond of the marauders.

she had always been.

in fact she became sort of an honorary maruader after she played a prank on dumbledore (she dyed his hair pink. he went with it for a week.).

after she found out about the prophecy she was forced to hide. but it was fun living with james. when he was sleeping.

she wrote humongous letters. (remember sirius’s letter?)

all she wanted was to protect her loved ones and the war to get over.

she laughed.

she loved.

she lived.

and then suddenly she didn’t.

A love that never tires

New Master List Organisation

Thanks to Tumblr essentially looking at my list of fics and saying “ahaha no way, get a hobby u spammer”, I have spent several hours reorganising my master list between bouts of crying and wondering why I spend so much time on something I don’t get paid for. 

For those of you that can access my blog proper, you will now see three tabs at the top, where my ficlets are organised. Below are the quick links and little summaries:

Canon and Post-Canon 

Usually Harry centric, but other POVs too, these ficlets are set at any time between Harry living with the Dursleys up to the birth of James. Head to this tab if you want some canon-compliant, usually Harry centric character exploration. This is where the most stuff is. 

Next Gen 

From the birth of James onwards, this is where to go if you want more stuff on Teddy and Vic, James causing havoc and raising his father’s blood pressure, Hugo being awkward, some Scorbus softness, Lily being sweet but deadly, etc. 

Marauders

Are you too happy? Do you want to read something fluffy and sweet and then suddenly realise at the end that oh my god they’re all dead and Harry will never know about just how loved he was or how hilarious his parents were? Click on this tab for sweetness so bitter you won’t know how to feel. 

As usual, this all comes with the caveat that none of these lists can open in the tumblr app, which annoys me as much as it annoys you. For some mobile devices, there is a way around it to open it in a browser, but for the rest of us it’s laptop only, I’m afraid. Also apparently Tumblr can just strip out ALL OF YOUR LINKS at any time, so, uh, save your favourites, I guess? 

If you spot any missing or broken please send me a personal message with the link NOT an ask about it.

Happy reading. 

James: Lily you are truly beautiful-

Lily: Oh screw beautiful, I’m brilliant! You want to appease me, compliment my brain!
