George is heavily afraid of getting disowned
Fred is the only one he trusts
They never get an owl back from their mother who ends in a rather nasty breakdown
Two weeks pass by until an owl lands on their table
There’s a letter and even a package
It’s Slytherin sweaters
When harry comes along, he gets to see how fun Slytherin can be
Fred tells Ron about the underwater glass they have to see into the lake
Draco and Blaise become immersed in trying to name every lake creature they see
George is telling first years that they can come over to the Slytherin dorms if they’re a fan of lake creatures and cold areas
Fred takes drawing requests from the little kids
George helps them with potions
Pansy drags Hermione over and rambles to her about the lake
The twins are always making sure people are ok
There’s always a sleepover in the Slytherin common room at midnight
It’s usually packed with students
George makes everyone hot coco
Fred takes pictures
The twins just generally making Slytherin out to be the greatest house ever

That’s disgusting.
Well done society.
Well done.
Can we all agree that:
Seeing that Teddy Lupin is just like Tonks; being a metamorphmagus.
Teddy morphing into people who are having a hard time whether they should dye or cut their hair.
So in that way, they can see what they would look like if they did it, also helping them if it looked bad/good on them.
Random Teddy/James headcanons….
James won’t let anyone call him anything except James, except for Teddy who has about 100 different nicknames and terms of endearment for him and is the only one who would ever get away with it
Teddy always has chocolate in his pockets, and sometimes he forgets about it until after things have gotten a bit hot and heavy with James and he finds the melted sweets. James always laughs at him, taking Teddy’s fingers with a wicked smile and licking it off.
James loves Teddy’s appearance, loves his piercings and tattoos and his wild hair. It’s so unaffectedly Teddy; its bold and unforgettable. But his favorite is when Teddy is sleeping, when everything sort of slips away and he’s so relaxed, his hair its natural plain brown and his face so relaxed. James loves him like this the most not because he’s less of anything, but because James knows he is the only one who gets to see him like this.
No matter how old James get, or how long they date, he never seems to get tired of broomstick innuendo, sliding up behind Teddy at family dinners and gleefully whispering “Wanna go for a ride on my broom, Lupin?”
James has no shame. At all. It isn’t long before the family stops looking for them when they go missing on holidays or celebrations because they already know what they’re likely to stumble upon.
No matter how much James pretends not to be sappy or sentimental, Teddy knows it isn’t true. Teddy knows he keeps a box hidden under the bed with cards and travel tickets and little things Teddy has given him.
Teddy isn’t sentimental, not the way James is. He doesn’t need bold romantic declarations and he doesn’t keep cards and letters. All he needs is James, right beside him, all he needs is one touch or kiss to remember everything.

I thought I might share my personal favorite books with evil or morally ambiguous characters since you’ve all shared your favorites.
Vicious
(main character is awesome and very grey)
The golden compass
(really goes into detail what evil and good really mean and has a ton of morally questionable characters in the second book)
The Bartimaeus trilogy
(main character does a lot of bad shit for selfish reasons but you still love him anyways somehow?? And there’s a lot of themes involving systematic oppression and propaganda manipulation and ethics)
The curseworkers
(the main character is constantly put into situations where he has to choose the lesser of two evils. Not to mention mafia families)
Six of crows
(do I even have to say…?)
Howls moving castle
(howl is seen as morally ambiguous in the beginning because of his reputations, so this technically counts. Also I love this book to death)
I hunt killers
(so the main character is super psychopathic and manipulative and overall a creepy ass person. He’s always questioning whether or not he’s truly a good person or just pretends to be or is hiding something worse. This psychological thriller is fucking incredible and underrated.)
The name of the wind
(the main character is the most realistically human I’ve ever met. He’s so real I can touch him. He’s also very morally ambiguous in ways I can’t say because it’s all spoilerly)
Artemis Fowl
(greedy selfish 12 year old criminal mastermind kidnapps a fairy for ransom money. What I love about this series is that he grows throughout the books and his character is constantly developing. He is definitely morally ambiguous and has no problem embracing his cunniving and devious nature)
The Cruel Prince
( every character is an asshole. Every. Character. No excuses, no secrets, just pure assholes. And you’ll love them)
The lies of Locke Lamora
(one of my ALLTIME favorite books. Locke lamora is like a darker shade of grey. He’s selfish, slightly murderous, incredibley human and very handsome. This motherfucker is the leader of a group of conmen who steal money from the rich but keep it for themselves. They are grade A smart assess and they have to make actual hard choices that really determine their character. I’m not gonna say more because there’s no way I can fit this masterpiece into a small summery bye)
The wrath and the Dawn
(The Prince is such a morally grey character. As you read on you’ll question whether or not he actually kills his brides or if there’s another deeper mystery to him. His choices are very questionable and very….bad? I can’t describe how amazing these books are)
when u first read the secret history it’s like oh, what an elegant and deep piece of literature. and then ur like…………bunny steals a frozen cheesecake from someone on financial aid. charles gets high and kills a bee at the funeral of his friend, who he helped to murder. henry didn’t know that people landed on the moon. richard thinks he’s straight. francis is hesitant that their alibi is going to the theater because he doesn’t want people to think he went to see such terrible movies. “and as we leave donne and walton on the shores of metahemeralism, we wave a fond farewell to those famous chums of yore.“ what the hell is going on in this book
James : "Okay I'll start studying at 8:00."
*some time goes by*
*time is 8:01*
James : "Oh well, I missed it, I'll start at 9:00 then"
List of actual canonical things that Adam and Ronan are into and can be kinkshamed for, with textual evidence and sources cited in MLA format. All of these are 100% author confirmed:
Adam Parrish
Competency kink
“The two-minute disparity prematurely aged Adam Parrish. He liked it when people knew how to do their jobs.”
When Ronan gets his farmer chores done in an efficient matter? Oh boy. Adam cannot be more turned on.
Adam Parrish, a known sapiosexual,
Derisively, Ronan said, “No. The ancient Greeks didn’t have a word for blue.” “What the hell, Ronan?” said Adam.
Ronan’s eyes followed the progress of the silent night horror. In a low voice, he said, “volat nullos strepitus facientibus.” “Fuck,” whispered Adam back, furiously. “Is that Ovid?”
Gets really hot and bothered when Ronan displays his knowledge about dead languages and Latin literature in a pretentious manner. Also when Ronan starts talking about the complexities of farming.
