…I Almost Killed Myself

THIS BETTER NOT BE A MISTRANSLATION

shoutout to those random peacocks you find in places that are probably unsuitable for a peacock to inhabit in the first place

andromeda tonks was a slythering who married a muggle-born and gave birth to one of the most badass hufflepuffs to ever grace this miserable planet

give me her story, and also, the story of that slytherin-hufflepuff household

without spite my heart may actually stop
