Of OWLS And NEWTS

Of OWLS and NEWTS

- Contrary to popular belief, there were students who liked the dour Potions Professor of Hogwarts.

- Most of those students only came to the conclusion they liked their professor during the latter part of their education.

- The OWL students heard rumors of Snape’s slightly different attitude come handling the sixth and seventh years. It wasn’t common for the sixth years to request a pinch or slap after classes from their classmates to convince themselves they weren’t entirely dreaming of hallucinating.

- Snape wasn’t suddenly sunshines and rainbows on his sixth years, it was more like having an actual potions master demonstrate the techniques to his apprentice. These were the days they remembered that Severus Snape WAS a Potions Master, not just a licensed brewer or a mildly competent potions professor.

- There were occasions that he makes mistakes and the students will stop what they were doing before getting back to work. Mistakes are lessons to be learned and even the best Potioneers drop jars of Lacewing flies sometimes.

- They sometimes get to watch him brew and anyone who watched him could swear that there was a musical accompaniment and that brewing was a dance Severus Snape has perfected through the years.

- He was harsher on their mistakes. He coaxes an answer from them rather than spoon-feeding them the information.

- The NEWT students focus on individual projects but they still had to brew difficult potions from time to time. His wrath is rarely seen, in its place is the snark doubling as if to compensate.

- Severus Snape cursing was a treat for the seventh years.

- The number of students passing their potions NEWT was the highest in Hogwarts history during Snape’s tenure.

- The NEWT and OWL students laugh at the lower years. It wasn’t that Snape couldn’t reduce them to tears anymore but more like Snape helped them have some thick skin. They have the knowledge that whatever thing comes out of the professor’s mouth just needed to come out or else he’d skin them alive.

- Most of what comes out is surprisingly funny.

- They don’t warn new students about what to expect. Call it a right of a passage.

- Seeing Snape with his hair tied back was distracting and also a guarded secret of the OWL and NEWT students.

- His recommendation letter for students applying for apprenticeship is a mere formality. Most Masters and Apothecaries accept students from Hogwarts as long as they survived Snape’s NEWT class.

- They didn’t have to like their professor, but he really was a great Potions Master.

- His OWL and NEWT classes still hated his guts but they had a certain respect from him that wasn’t there during their younger years.

- Years later, most would recall potions class and shake their head, chuckling at why they were frightened to begin with.

Dr. Robotnik: I'm proud to identify as morosexual. I'm attracted to dumbasses and dumbasses exclusively. Agent Stone asked me what the Spanish word for tortilla was once and now I dream of kissing him under the moonlight.

Agent Stone: What kind of animal is Sonic the Hedgehog?

Dr. Robotnik, already taking off his clothes: Agent Stone you're so stupid.

So let me point out something. Previously, Jian Yi was kidnapped as we all know. And this is what He Cheng says in chapter 192 to his mom regarding the kidnapper: “His only motive is to meet sir”.

But right now Brother Qiu immediately assumes that Jian Yi is being targeted (by a sniper, no less). That is to say, that someone doesn’t want to just kidnap Jian Yi but to kill him.

Whereas previously his father’s enemy objective was to meet Mr.Jian (via kidnapping his son), right now they want to just kill Jian Yi?? It doesn’t make sense at all. But Brother Qiu doesn’t seem to discard such a possibility. Then again, he could be merely overreacting/acting on instincts.

It seems that something changed for the worse in those mafia back-door games.

The brighter the lights, the darker the shadows.

Here’s my piece inspired by “Barry” for the @haderzine.

Living up to my url and played with the shadows to show the actor side of Barry, the hitman side of Barry, and his inescapable deeds catching up to him.

Please click on the pic if it’s blurry. (*shakes fist* Damn you, Tumblr!)

okay but imagine if one day lil mo’s gang asks he tian why he hangs around & bothers their leader/friend so much lately and he tian just says something cray like “why do u think? *wink*” insinuating yknow what and mo overhears and comes yelling like “NOOOOOOOO” 😂 and mo’s gang just continue to have that look of horror mixed with confusion

They def deserve whole new chapter, bc we saw from SO MANY times their angry/dissapointed/confused look, when they are behind Mo being teased and holding by He Tian.

But I am not sure if your scenario (marvelous and funny for me) will happen bc I bet they are hella scaried of He Tian. He def have a reputation of being super strong and skilled in martial arts (whole school saw it, when he fought She Li) also if their boss is totally under control of He Tian, they (being lower than boss) won’t even try.

They will just suffer in silence. If they dare to ask, they will ask Momo. And they will ask, if they are dating or something 🤣
