What if instead of gilly weed Harry had showed up to the black lake challenge in muggle scuba gear like “like where’s your advanced magic now bitches? Got me a free fishing knife with this thing”

Honestly I just want an AU where Harry approached all his magical problems with muggle solutions. Nobody knows how to handle it because he’s supposed to be there learning magic but you know what, it fucking works.

Give me Harry Potter who is like fucking MacGuyver up in this shit, creating his own non-magical solutions to magical problems.

“Potter how did you get past the enchanted keys to the Sorcerer’s Stone?”

“I used a fucking net.”

“How did you get past the dragon?”

Harry shines a little red light on the wall “works on cats, why not a dragon”

“How did you get through the hedge maze?”

“Weed-b-gone, it’s like a pound. Nothing will ever grow there again”

It’s the final battle between Harry and Voldemort. The Dark Lord begins to prepare a spell to end Harry Potter’s life once and for all when….

Harry Potter + The Office

The master of leaving parties, jobs, friends and family

Give Harry to me, Hagrid, I’m his godfather, I’ll look after him.

Ah, let me count the ways in which fandom interpretation of Sirius Black infuriates me. One day, I’ll write an essay, but as I don’t currently have the time to pen a thousand-page epic -

This is literally the moment that possibly defines Sirius the most, and it’s the one that everyone forgets.

Everyone knows the story - Sirius arrived at Godric’s Hollow, saw the Potters’ bodies, and tore after Peter Pettigrew in a blind, thoughtless, reckless rage.

Um, except he didn’t.

He tried to take care of Harry. He tried to get Hagrid to give Harry to him, and when Hagrid refused, he tried to argue.

What, you think he was planning to tear after Peter with Harry tucked under one arm? Of fucking course not. It didn’t change that he wanted to kill Peter, that he probably would be happy to find and kill him later - but he wasn’t planning to murder anyone, to throw his life away, to even sit in a dark corner and drink himself to death while holding a goddamn baby.

This is Sirius’s godson, the person he promised his dead best friend he’d protect, and whom he now loved more than anyone alive. He’s asking for the kid so he can take the kid, and that means devoting himself to a lifetime of raising, nurturing, being patient, being parently, changing nappies and nursing fevers and a million other VERY. RESPONSIBLE. THINGS.

Do we know how good Sirius would have been at doing that? Hell no.

But what we do know is the most important thing - that he was willing to try.

Hagrid cites Dumbledore’s orders and won’t give Harry up.

So it’s really only once everything is really gone - that Sirius’s responsibilities and attachments are nearly all truly severed - that he decides there’s nothing else to do but go after Peter.

A really quick sketch to de-stress

potterlock and my experiment with brushes :D

I’ve always said John was a Hufflepuff.

caaaan you guess who (insp.)

I was on the bus thinking about Harry Potter tonight and I remembered the part where the Dementors all show up at the Quidditch game, and I remembered how they were all looking up at Harry, and I wondered why they would all be staring at him, and then I realized that it’s because he has two souls in him.

On this note, wouldn’t that also be a reason why Harry would have had a more negative reaction than his friends (even Ginny)? He was hearing his mother’s voice as she was protecting him, which in itself was his worst memory. but the Dementors were also forcing the piece of Voldemort to relive its worst memory as well… The memory of being ripped apart by the curse that backfired. No wonder Harry passed out so often.

I literally never thought about that.

omg…

HOLY

Oh FUCKING HELL, you just made me realize that it wasn’t Harry’s memory that was his father telling Lily to take Harry and run, and it wasn’t Harry’s memory of Lily screaming.

Here I was, just eating a cup of applesauce under the 14-year-long assumption that the reason a small infant was able to remember something was because this was a fictional world of magic, but no, now this entirely reasonable and somewhat less terrifying bubble has burst and I’m never going to recapture that innocence. 

I’m going to fucking bed.

It does make sense - and the part in Deathly Hallows where Harry relives his parent’s murder through Voldemort’s perspective and memory doesn’t exactly discredit the theory either

THE GREEN!

THE GREEN THAT HARRY SAW!

I was always under the assumption that he was remembering seeing it as a one-year-old, even though as an Education Major I know that people usually can’t remember that far back but I was just like, hey, he’s magical and maybe Jo just stretched the suspension of disbelief

But now

What if the green that Harry always saw, especially when the Dementors were around, was the small part of Voldemort’s soul reliving that moment that, as someone else pointed out, is probably the worst moment of his life.

I MEAN GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY THIS EVEN DESCRIBES WHY HARRY’S SCAR HURTS WHENEVER HE THINKS ABOUT THIS. BECAUSE IT’S THE PIECE OF SOUL INSIDE OF HIM HURTING!
