So maybe pottermore answered this and I’m too lazy to check but... do the other three houses have ways to prevent not-girls from getting into the girls dorms?? Like we know Gryffindoor has the stairs-turn-into-a-slide thing but do the other houses have something like that?? And if they don’t, why? What must have happened to result in only Gryffindoor having those kind of restrictions?? I gotta know!!
I won’t comment on how good Lily is bc it’s not relevant but think about it!! James’ parents are both aurors; there have to have been multiple occasions in which James was home alone for at least one meal at a time. He must have learned how to make legitimate meals for himself after realizing that he couldnt go for long stretches of time without a meal that consisted of more than cereal and toast.
I imagine over the years he kind of builds up an impressive repertoire. He’s no master chef but he definitely knows what he’s doing.
It stuns the rest of the marauders and Lily who, despite James’ overt parental nature, didn’t peg him as much of a cook. But Sirius is the first to find out when he comes over to the Potter’s during a particularly bad summer. When James realizes that Sirius hasn’t eaten in a while he goes right to the kitchen and makes lunch. Sirius is floored when James presents him with food that is on par with the stuff he’d eaten at Malfoy Manor.
James becomes the designated cook for all gatherings. He doesn’t mind; in fact, it had become a soothing activity for him when his parents were away. James stress bakes to the extent that his house in Godrics Hollow is always stocked with fresh bread or pastries. Lily loves it because it means less work for her... and because she loves the pure joy that crosses her husband’s face when she tells him how good his food is.
Just... James as a cook guys.
Okay wait where the actual hell do wizards put their wands?? Like my first thought was “pockets” but couldn’t that go very wrong?? Like wouldn’t it slip out as you move or get bent and snap as you sit down? Why are wands suddenly the most impractical thing for a wizard to own jfc
You’re gonna hate me for this but I don’t care SO
Can we just imagine for a second that James and Lily are immediately transported to whatever afterlife there is when they die but to them it’s as if no time has passed since they were each hit with the killing curse so when they each hit the ground they’re already in heaven or whatever.
Just imagine James, whose only job, only wish, was to make sure that his family made it out; imagine him scrambling to get back up, scared out of his goddamn mind and confused as to why he didn’t seem to die when he got hit. Imagine him looking around and realizing why Voldemort has suddenly disappeared, why his house is suddenly so quiet. Imagine the anguish he feels as he thinks that he’s failed his wife and child. That when they die it’ll be because he didn’t fight hard enough.
Now imagine Lily. When she falls she doesn’t waste a moment getting back up and throwing herself in front of the crib once more; but this time Voldemort is no longer there. She turns around- no Harry. Where’s Harry?? She screams. Her knees give out from under her. Her son is gone. Or is she the one that’s gone? Imagine her pain as she realizes that her only goal, to protect her son, had failed.
James hears the scream from downstairs after an agonizingly long minute of silence. He sprints upstairs as if death himself was behind him. When he enters the nursery he wastes no time scooping Lily up from the ground and into his own shaking arms. She sobs into his chest. He sobs into her hair. They blame themselves but only themselves. They each tell the other that they’re silly, that no one could have predicted this, that they shouldn’t take the blame when it wasn’t their fault.
That’s when they realize that Harry hasn’t arrived in his crib yet. They quiet themselves but hear no soft coos or cries from their child. Could he have somehow survived? They wait by the crib for hours, holding each other because they have no one else to hold, because they’re soulmates, dammit, they are each other’s lifeline, and because they’re both terrified of what this means.
And when morning comes and the papers reveal what happened the night before don’t ask me how just roll w it thanks they realize that they’ve lost their son. That, while he may be alive thanks to god knows who, they won’t see him for a very long time; and that hurts more than when they realize that peter had betrayed them.
I just, I have feelings about this ok
Harry hesitated, but after all, Ron had been honest with him, so he told Ron the truth…
one of my absolute favorite bits from the hp books that never made it into the movies. though admittedly, the ootp movie had to rly condense a lot. i think the relationship between harry and ron is super underrated/overlooked - there’s so much love, trust, and support between them in this scene.
God I love this
If this isn’t me literally right now
....I went on a 4 year hiatus and then started a new book
One of the things I'll never understand of snape defenders is that they hate James (though we only see him through snape's eyes so we're missing a lot) but don't seem to have the same deep hatred for sirius, which almost killed him with his prank. Maybe it's because we get to know sirius? I don't know. Also, it's like people idolize lily but, at the same time, don't trust her judgment, because she clearly couldn't choose for herself. I'm confused
Preach, friend. Snape defenders or stans or whatever don't have a good argument and they like to pick and choose which contextual evidence they use because that's the only way their argument works. Snape's a terrible person, and he was written to be a terrible person 🤷♀️
can we just talk about the time that Lupin was recovering from a full moon and Snape taught the DADA class and made all the students write essays on how to kill werewolves for Lupin to read when he got back I hate Snape so much it’s not funny
Lupin gets back and he feels like crap and suddenly his best friend’s son is writing an essay about how to kill him like that is so fucked up
Bear in mind that an ex-Death Eater does this to someone who was in the Order, risked his life fighting against said Death Eaters and lost his best friends to the Death Eater’s genocidal leader, for the sole purpose of screwing him over, and as far as we know he experiences no consequences whatsoever for doing so.
And if that wasn’t enough, he made them write those essays hoping some of them would realize Lupin’s a werewolf. And one did, but Hermione is a fucking DECENT HUMAN BEING and said nothing. Apparently the ‘insufferable know-it-all' can keep her mouth closed, when it’s for something important. Just like Snape didn’t do at the end of the book.
I’m getting mad, so here’s something I’ve realized while reading The Order of the Phoenix again. (Please keep in mind that my books are in Italian and some concepts might be hard to explain, I apologize for my English mistakes)
In chapter 14, when The Trio talked with Sirius, he said that two years before Dolores Umbridge had written a law against werewolves that made it almost impossible for Lupin to find a job.
Now ask yourself this question. Why two years?
What had happened two years before? During Harry’s third year? Oh, right. The Magical World had discovered that one of Hogwarts’ teachers (someone who was in constant conctat with their children) was a werewolf. Does that ring any bell?
But that’s not all! If we take a look at chapter 15, in the Daily Prophet article we can see a familiar name: Remus Lupin. In a newspaper. Where everyone can read it. “The werewolf Remus Lupin”. No wonder he couldn’t find a job! And it’s not the first time the Daily Prophet has written about him, as it’s stated in the article itself. There must have been a huge scandal when it had all come out.
So basically, when Snape decided he couldn’t bear not having what he wanted (for example, SIRIUS BLACK GETTING KISSED BY A DEMENTOR) and spilled the secret, he didn’t only tell the whole school. He didn’t only tell the kids’ parents. The told the whole Magical World.
He told the whole Magical World that a man who had kept his condition secret all his life was a werewolf.
And the Magical World responded with a law against werewolves.
So, basically, Snape didn’t only ruin Remus Lupin’s life. He ruined the life of every single werewolf in the UK.
But, you know. Bravest man I ever knew.
I will never not reblog how horrible Snape was. A great character? Why of course. But a great man? Absolutely disgusting.
Severus Snape is a garbage human being, and I will die on that hill.
How many times we gotta tell yall it's {noun} of color not POC {noun}
Yes this is ok for white people to rb
Anyways unlearning incorrect terminology is not easy but it’s not an excuse not to try or to tell poc it’s not that deep if you’re an ally.
So like
Doctor of color
Not
Person of color doctor
Genuinely asking cause my reading comprehension is shit
Yes!
For example, if you have a woman of color who is also an actress, you’d call her an actress of color, not a WOC actress or a POC actress!

((OOC: I’m a little late posting this, but I drew Jily for @asktheboywholived ‘s birthday!!! I had a really hard time drawing Lily but James is GOLDEN! Happy belated birthday TeeeeTeeeee!!!))
Panting, James grasped at her hair, her face, her wrists, her waist, every inch of her body, their foreheads pressed together. Blood was gushing down her open cheek, running down James’ arms. Her hands felt so small against his chest.
“Are you okay? Are you okay?” His own words felt empty, dull in a moment suspended in time.
Lily smiled up at him before looking down at the blood pouring from her face, tinting the grass around them.
“Red for Gryffindor,” she whispered, and James pulled her closer, burring his face in her hair to hide his tears.
Their precipitated heartbeats melted into one. The seconds stretched into forever.
That was all it was. The heat from her skin, the sweet smell of her hair, and the beautiful beautiful sound of her breath, her blood, her life.
“You’re alive.” The whisper sounded more like a sob and James gave up on trying to hide his tears. He pulled away from her, only allowing a few centimetres to come in between them. He was unable to tear his gaze away from her face.
Her eyes were dry but full of worry, pain and some other emotion James couldn’t read.
“We’re alive,” she whispered back, wiping his tears with her thumb.
Her lips brushed against his and James held his breath until she moved closer, closing the gap between them. Their kiss was slow, tender and so incredibly sad.
Nothing compared to that feeling. Her lips were softer than he had ever dared to dream and her hand was warm on the back of his neck.
In that moment, James Potter felt quite certain he would never die.
