Draco having an extensive amout of knowledge about Harry is my fave thing, like some Slytherins will go "Potter looks too cheerful today" "well, maybe it's his birthday", and Draco is casually like "nah, his birthday is July 31st", and everyone is like "what" and Draco is like "what?". Gryffindors passing him in the courtyard, Neville be like "Harry, wanna some strawberry gum?" and Draco mutters to himself "he's allergic to strawberry, Longbottom, Merlin..", and the Slytherins like "not AGAIN"
Oh my god this is so real and powerful and canon
I love this
People keep leaving “Isn’t Bill’s first name Bilius?” comments on one of my HP posts and the answer is no. I checked before I posted. Bill Weasley’s first name is actually William.
“Do you, William Arthur, take Fleur Isabelle….?”
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 8. The Wedding
People are getting the name Bilius from a Weasley uncle, the one who saw a Grim and died twenty-four hours later. Ron’s middle name is also Bilius. Ron presumably was named for this uncle.
“Talking about Muriel?” inquired George, re-emerging from the marquee with Fred. “Yeah, she’s just told me my ears are lopsided. Old bat. I wish old Uncle Bilius was still with us, though; he was a right laugh at weddings.”
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 8. The Wedding
It’s kind of funny to imagine, though, that Bill could have grown up thinking that his name was Bilius. Kids often don’t know the “correct” names for things because the adults in their life refer to these things incorrectly as an in-joke or by nicknames. If everyone called him Bill and Bill grew up knowing his Uncle Bilius, then he could have very plausibly been under the impression for many years that his name was also Bilius.
Until, of course, September of 1982 rolls around.
Professor Minerva McGonagall opens a scroll and begins reading off the names of the first-years who are to be Sorted. She gets to the very last name on the list (entirely possible with a W name) and calls out: “WEASLEY, WILLIAM!”
11-year-old “Bill” Weasley, who has just this second found out that his first name is actually William: “…Who?!”
I write Wolfstar fanfiction. (What? Really? No way! Shocking! I had no idea!)
It usually goes unnoticed, but I’m very particular with the way that I write. I’ll use different words and different writing styles depending on which character’s perspective a story is written from. I also try to pay close attention to the language that I use and how I use it.
This is my take on pronouns, specifically in regards to Remus’ lycanthropy:
James and Peter always refer to the Wolf as “you”. They see the Wolf as being a part of Remus, an extension of Remus. The Wolf is as much Remus as the human version of him is.
James: You were great last night. You were actually really easy to handle!
Peter: …You ate a rabbit.
Sirius always refers to the Wolf as “him”. He knows that Remus hates when he’s associated with the wolf inside, so Sirius tries his best to respect Remus’ wishes and avoid talking about the Wolf as if he is the same thing as Moony.
Sirius: Yeah, he kind of chased the rabbit around for a while and… well… that’s why you’re not hungry this morning.
Remus always refers to the Wolf as “it”. He hates humanizing it, giving it person-like qualities like gender and emotions. In Remus’ eyes, the wolf is nothing but a monster; a vile creature that has no rhyme or reason, no personality, no real motive for its actions, nothing except blood lust and hunger. Remus doesn’t consider the Wolf and himself to be the same thing. He doesn’t even consider the Wolf to be a real animal. It’s just a beast.
Remus: Well, I’m just glad it didn’t hurt any of you guys…
And I’ve been fairly consistent with my pronoun use, making sure that the way the boys talk about the Wolf also reflects their views on what it is relative to Moony.
Just some MES musings! (MES= MaurauderEraSmut! That’s me!)
just think about it:
- she gives ginny a stick and poke in their fourth year, the first tattoo she’s ever given anyone - a tiny crescent moon on the inside of her forearm with magic color changing ink - it tells ginny the weather, and glows when the weather is perfect for quidditch
- hagrid gleefully gets a tattoo from luna sometime in the fifth year - on his inner ankle, a square of text tells him about the needs of the creatures around him - he starts sitting with his ankle on his knee to more easily check it
- she gives harry a tattoo the summer before his eighth year - a small horntail, but it moves from his chest to sit on his shoulder or cower in the crook of his elbow as it pleases - it wakes him up from his bad dreams, and keeps him warm in the middle of the night
- she gives neville a tattoo before she was stolen into the malfoy’s manor - it’s a ring encircling his middle finger - the magic of it is simple, transforming into whatever word he needs to see most when he asks it
- seamus gets one not long after neville - it’s a tiny bomb on his collar bone, ticking in time with dean’s heart
- hermione doesn’t want a tattoo at first, but as she grows closer with luna she asks for it very shyly in the middle of her eighth year - it gently pulses with her heart on her shoulder blade, an hourglass on it’s side - it will sometimes stand up and run sand, but only when hermione is very busy or stressed
- george asks for a tattoo that finishes his jokes, many years after the war, when he is an uncle and godfather - luna refuses and instead gives him a non-magical tattoo, a china cup mended with gold over his heart
- draco, many years after luna is an established artist and healer, drops into her shop in diagon alley - he asks her to fix his scar-slashed Mark, and she turns it into a sleeve of flowers, studded with snakes and turtles - the flowers bloom with his moods, and shield him from hurting himself
muggle 1: hey, do you ever hear from that kid in primary school with the weird name…hermione, that was it.
muggle 2: nah she kinda dropped off the radar a while back
muggle 2: weird thing though, her parents moved to australia for a bit and stopped talking about her
muggle 1: what?
muggle 2: yeah, like, my mum’s friends with her mum, and they just moved one day? hermione wasn’t with them, though, and they stopped mentioning her at all
muggle 1: didn’t she go to some fancy boarding school? i bet she’s, like, training to be a spy
muggle 2: dude, you’re so full of shit
