• Mycroft and Anthea are the bestest of besties 
• Greg hangs out with Hagrid in Hogsmeade every now and then, they bond over their ‘half-breed’ heritage on occasion
• Blake and Cedric in the Fourth Year like to compete, as friends
• can i just say Hufflepuff-Slytherin duos are the best. there, i did it.
• Draco is disillusioned by the fact that thee Harry freakin’ Pottah is friends with a muggleborn, duh, but we get a hint why this learned habit is as the story goes
• Harry sometimes has odd dreams. they reference the ‘A Very Potter Musical’ no i do not take criticism
• Greg and Mycroft have their own detective investigation in the works
• Mycroft gets started on investigating what really happened at Godric’s Hollow in 1981, he believes Sirius is innocent
• Greg agrees to help, and in the meantime Feelings(TM) develop
• but who is first?
• well, slowburn <3
• The Work is a bit more important you see, and they’re both workaholics
• anyway, Harry has an easier time to dodge Bludgers in Quidditch matches because Vernon likes to throw stuff at him at Privet Drive when he gets angry
• Draco fondly remembers his cousin Sherlock, and Mycroft gently tries to prod him in the right direction when the two are alone = he is trying to dislodge the pureblooded ideals from the boy
• Blake and Draco begin talking over winter holidays where they meet at a Ministry get-together where Blake’saunt socialises with the Malfoys
• Draco kind of likes him because he is similat to Sherlock, but much more sociable and extroverted
• ANYWAY Mycroft is really suspicious of Dumbledore the more he hears about the Philosopher’s Stone and what is going on at Hogwarts. remember that Mycroft is the powerhouse of the GB, he is aware of a lot of things. he has spies with wings *side eye*

“That wicked witch of the East,” Blake muttered in disbelief as he read through a ‘report’ on the Triwizard Tournament published by Rita Skeeter. The Ministry owl delivered a print of the Daily Prophet to Cedric since he was subscribed to it, and Blake stole it to avoid talking to other people around them. “She made Potter into a crybaby. And then there’s me - oh that’s rich. Listen to this: ‘Poor Blake Selcout came to Hogwarts alone, his aunt neglectful even after she swore to take care of him after his parent’s death. Blake hopes to make his parents proud, and dignify the Slytherin House in the process despite transferring from Ilvermorny. But will the new, lost boy be the making or breaking of a House that’s putting up with prejudice? Will it be an American student who brings peace to Hogwarts Houses?’ What is wrong with her?”

“Yeah, that’s Skeeter alright,” Cedric conceded, digging into his breakfast bowl. “She always does this. I’m not surprised.”

“Well I’m furious. To talk about my aunt like that? Oh no. And where’s her interview with Fleur and Krum? Oh that’s neat - she just mentioned them at the end of the article! How is this honest journalism?”
