Happy birthday, High Warlock! I’m currently in Southeast Asia so my sense of global time is a bit skewed, but I believe it to be Magnus’ birthday and will be snippeting accordingly! Hope you enjoy this scene from Lost Book of the White in which Magnus has a lot to contend with.
****
Magnus found his robe, blinked the sleep from his eyes, and went into the kitchen, where Jace Herondale was pouring coffee into Magnus’s “I’m Kind of a Big Deal” mug.
“Don’t you have your own coffeepot?” Magnus said blearily.
Jace, blond hair in its usual, preternaturally excellent state,flashed him a winning smile that Magnus was not prepared to deal with before he too had some coffee. “I hear you got stabbed by a weird Norwegian thorn,” Jace said. “Also, do you have any soy milk?Clary’s doing a whole soy milk thing now.”
“What are you doing in my apartment?” said Magnus.
“Well,” said Jace, now rummaging in the fridge, “I’d like to think I’d be welcome anytime, what with my close relationship with all three of you. But in this case, Alec called us. Said something about Shanghai.” “Who is us?” Magnus said suspiciously.
Jace waved his coffee cup around. “Us! You know. All of us.”
“All of you?” Magnus repeated. He held up a hand. “Wait. Stop. I am going to go put on something more substantial than a kimono. You are going to use your angelic powers to pour me as large a mug of black coffee as you can find, and I will be right back, and then we can talk about terrible concepts like who ‘all of you’ are, or what Alec told you about last night.”
When he returned to the living room, now suitably dressed, he found Alec, arms folded, looking long-suffering. In the far corner of the room, next to the ceiling, Max floated, tumbling in the air. He didn’t seem to be in peril—indeed, he was yelling “Wheeeeeeeeeee” and appeared to be having an excellent time. Under him, Clary Fairchild and Isabelle Lightwood attempted to nudge him back to the ground with a broom handle. With her free hand, Clary was waving a red braid, trying to get Max interested as though he were Chairman Meow. Max was upside-down and obviously feeling good about it. Everyone else was in t-shirts and jeans, but Isabelle, of course, had shown up in a fitted black sweater over a tiered velvet maxi skirt. She was one of the few people who could occasionally make Magnus feel underdressed.

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.
“Sirius told me,” James said, letting himself be dragged down the eleventh-floor corridor, “that you’re going to blow me in McGonagall’s office”
Lily snorted, pulling on his hand. “McGonagall’s office does it for you?”
James took two strides to catch up with her, still holding her hand. “You do it for me,” he said into her neck, jumper pressing against the thin fabric of her top.
She rolled her eyes, goosebumps where he’d touched her, and pushes his head away. “Not in McGonagall’s office I don’t”
She could hear the grin in his voice. “Spoilsport. If I’ve left my party so you can show me the stars or some shi-“
“I can’t believe you hate stars.”
“I don’t hate stars” they’d started up some stairs towards a door, Lily still dragging him,
“I wouldn’t have started going out with you if I knew you were anti-star.“
“What I’m anti is my girlfriend showing me the stars and passing it off as a birthday gift.”
Lily stopped dead in front of the door and wheeled around, standing a few steps above him, head cocked. “Wait, it’s your birthday?”
James flashed her a grin. “Yeah, you didn’t hear?”
She shook her head, mock disbelief palpable. “No! how old are you turning?”
“Twelve.” He shot back.
She smiled. “Wow, hope the second-year course load isn’t hitting you too hard.” She opened the door without turning away from him, slowly pulling him into the old astronomy tower.
“It’s the girls that are gonna get me actually,” James said, still joking but not quite, dropping back to shut the door.
“You think it’s bad now,” Lily stepped closer, backing him in, “just wait till you’re in seventh-year and they refuse to blow you in McGonagall’s office.”
“Hmm,” she was close enough to see the piling on the terrible jumper he was wearing, his face angled towards hers, “and forget my birthday.”
“Unforgivable.” She said, quietly.
“Have you actually brought me up here for the stars?” he looked a bit worried, “Cause, like, if you have I was totally kidding before.”
She laughed, stepping back. “No, relax. I’ve brought you up here to show you this.” She brandished her wand and gestured to the far corner of the room. “Lumos”
James starred at the corner, confused, taking a second to get it, only then it clicked. “is that-“
“All the Quidditch brooms of the Slytherin team, yes.”
James gaped at the brooms, then back at her, eyes wide. He swallowed. “Not stars then”
She smiled, “Not quite.” She inched closer, still not touching him, save her mouth almost on his, “Happy Birthday Potter.”
I’m still obsessed with 5SOS5, so I want to focus on Bad Omens for the Marauders’ era. It can even apply to platonic relationships, like Lily and Snape because we canonically know that Snape was hurling slurs at other Muggleborns and Lily was justifying her friendship with him to towers (“It’s too late. I’ve made excuses for you for years. None of my friends can understand why I even talk to you. You and your precious little Death Eater friends—you see, you don’t even deny it! You don’t even deny that’s what you’re all aiming to be! You can’t wait to join You-Know-Who, can you?”), so Lily ignored the signs of what her best friend had become until she no longer could (“Can't help the way I keep ignoring every omen / Every omen / Heaven knows I should let go / It's nothing that I don't already know”), that song is ridiculously fitting for the backdrop of the war and how it’s tearing apart every relationship (romantic relationships [like Jegulus if that’s your ship, Wolfstar where Remus and Sirius canonically distrusted each other, but probably tried to ignore the signs until they had to acknowledge “there’s a spy, and I think it’s the man sleeping beside me right now”], platonic relationships [Peter and the Marauders where none of them realized his betrayal until far too later, Lily and Snape], familial relationships [Sirius with his family depending on how one views his relationship with them in the years before he left.]) People who tried to keep their relationships, hoping that eventually they’d go back to the way things were if they just ignored the warning signs, but eventually they were no longer able to pretend and had to acknowledge that this was irreparable.
Also, unrequited love (“I cried in your dark brown eyes for the thousandth time / 'Cause you love somebody / I died when you left that night for the thousandth time / 'Cause you love somebody else”) fits great, so Snape/Lily from Snape’s perspective in Seventh year, where he utterly destroyed his friendship with her but still is in love with her, and then watched her fall in love with James. Unrequited relationship set during the first war are honestly perfect for this song, because it’s got the distrust element and the “watching the person you love be in love with someone else” aspect; 5SOS decided the First Wizarding War was the theme of their 5th album (note, this is a joke, they have not made any comments regarding Harry Potter, the album just has great vibes for it)
It's fine, I'm not hyperventilating or anything.
Look, I've actually listened to this album (at least the songs i like from it) a lot since it was brought to my attention after its release. And as I've said before, I've never been a follower of 5SOS. I think before someone actively began passing me their songs, I'd listened to one by choice and knew it was them, and that was only because I came across it on the radio one day.
But it's like they really did craft the perfect album here for the First War years within HP, and I love that so much. I could rant on and on about several of these songs in relation to headcanons for that era/ships/characters, but Bad Omens is a BIG ONE. It's actually become one of my favorites, right up there with Caramel. And then I was guided to the music video, which was admittedly a trip, but it was also so very perfect.
I think in my initial review, I compared it to Wolfstar (also Jegulus), but I think I remember saying it gave me strong First War vibes in general, and it definitely does that. It can honestly apply to every relationship during that time period, whether platonic or romantic, no matter what side of the war someone fell on.
I love your comparison to Lily's and Snape's friendship and how it fell apart. I have...some issues with Snape that I try not to vocalize to often in a serious way, mostly sticking to joking headcanons that don't amount to much, the him watching Lily slip away from him and fall in with James, fall in love with him as he stood back and was forced to watch must have hurt so badly. I think Snape was too obsessive to a degree that any relationship between him and Lily couldn't have been sustained for long, regardless of his meddling with the Dark Arts and who Lily considered to be bad people, but the song fits so well because of that and everything else.
The whole Peter betrayal thing as well. None of them saw it, not a one. Peter was that good. He blended into his surroundings that well and was so easily overlooked that no one had the slightest idea of what he was truly doing. But you can't tell me that somewhere in him there wasn't guilt. There are numerous substantial reasons to dislike JKR, but the fact that she never once even tried to explain why Peter did what he did will forever be one of mine. Those were his best friends all through school and beyond. No, we don't know what happened, how they treated him, and maybe it's a fandom thing (though i don't think it completely is) but I've always thought James cared a lot about Pete. I think he kept Peter close because he liked him. They must have liked him, otherwise why stay his friend? Why trust him enough to give him the responsibility of keeping your family safe?
Say what you will, but they loved Peter, and he must have loved them at some point. It makes no sense why Peter would have betrayed James of all people. Sirius, maybe. That actually lines up because I think Sirius was cruel to Peter when he wanted to be, had little patience for him overall, so him framing Sirius is sort of like his just desserts. He didn't do anything to Remus that we know of, and I think that's because Peter likely always idolized Remus just as much as he did James and Sirius, but Remus was always far kinder to him in the grand scope of things. So something must have happened at some point to make Peter think that betraying James and essentially being the cause of his death was warranted. Was it because he drifted away, focused on the war and his family more than his friends? I don't know, but I'd like to, because there are gaps there.
(sorry. that was a tangent i didn't initially intend. oops)
Back on the main point, Peter must have had some sort of guilt for what he was doing and what he did. You can't be that cruel after spending half your life with people you claim to like/love and then blow everything up with one action and decision. So relating this song back to him and the way everyone circled around him and never focused in on his true nature is so very fitting.
I could write an entire ten page essay on this song in relation to Wolfstar. I've been thinking about it a lot and trying desperately not to do so, because I know the more I do, I'll want to write a fic about it. And that's the very definition of been there, done that repeatedly, not just myself, but the Wolfstar fandom as a whole. The entire Remus/Sirius distrust, slipping away from one another but still clinging on out of desperation has been done so many times and I'm trying incredibly hard not to add more to it unless it just won't leave me alone.
What I really want to talk about with this song is Jegulus. And I'm no expert. I'm only just pushing my toes into the water with it, trying to acclimate myself with the whole thing because I actually really like it in a way I thought I wouldn't we I jumped back into fandom and found it to be this large, growing thing that I'd never even seen mention of back in the day when I was writing before. It was a bit baffling, but...I dunno. I'm coming around to it more and more. But my point is don't judge anything I say to harshly because I'm only going off of the small amount of things I've seen/read.
But just think about their relationship in relation to how we know canon goes. James gets tired of chasing after Lily, falls in with Regulus somehow at some point, possibly before he gives up the ghost. Maybe it's Reg that makes him see reason and that James is being a knob, I don't know. They gravitate to one another, fall in love, but it's never the most stable of relationships because it can't be. Regulus is still a Black, James is exactly who he is in every way, that golden boy, head in the sun, pure to his core no matter what you want to say about him bullying (which has two completely different sides, but that's not the topic at hand here). Regulus is a Slytherin, James a Gryffindor. Tensions are mounting higher because of the growing war. They're constantly being tugged apart, in different directions, but they try so hard.
They ignore the signs when they can, they focus on one another as much as possible, but it's never enough to avoid the outside world circling around them like vultures. Regulus takes the mark and James can't sit by and watch his life go up in flames because of his decision, so he finally says enough and pulls back. He dives into his Head Boy duties headfirst, sways Lily to him in the process, but maybe him and Regulus continue to drift to one another because they can't help themselves and James still holds onto the hope that he can convince Regulus to turn his back on his choices. It doesn't work. James finally says enough, sets off into a life with Lily instead, fully committed, and Regulus can't tell him why he has to stay where he is, why it's so important, but he goes after the locket for James, to try and make it easier to put an end to the war. And we all know how that ended.
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.

hi Cassie! idk if you’ve noticed, but I think you’ve invoked a small (and quite entertaining) url revolution. — hornyjem
I did. I am very proud. :)
This is the full story of After the Bridge, a tale for those who might have wondered what Tessa and Jem did after they met on Blackfriars Bridge in the epilogue of Clockwork Princess. If you’ve been waiting to read it until it was done, it is now done.
Those who do not like Tessa&Jem together or Jessa sexytimes probably should skip this. (You will not miss anything that will affect your understanding of later books.) Those who like that sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like.
After the Bridge alternates POV between Jem and Tessa. This is Part Five, the full story. As this is one short story and not chaptered, each post will contain the whole story from the beginning up to the point where that part ends so that new readers or readers who don’t remember what happened won’t have to hunt down the previous post(s.)

I would love to lose focus and have a consensual workplace relationship with hugh grant
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
the wolves will come again
