Just like Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore collects people. Only, instead of focusing on those with influence, he looks to the outcasts.

The expelled half-giant. The young werewolf. The repentant Death Eater.

He protects them and gives them a second chance. All he asks in return is their loyalty.

And, if on occasion he requests that they undertake a certain task, invoking their debt of gratitude - well, that is no more than he is owed.

He once thought to add a certain disowned Black to his collection, but quickly realised his mistake.

Sirius is not an outcast, but a rebel. He knowingly chose his path, and chooses what price he is willing to pay for it. He refuses to be used.

So Albus Dumbledore abandons him.

Hogwarts’ students were about to face the worst test of their lives so their professor invited Auror Harry Potter to talk about his adventures. The Q&A went out of the professor’s control, though x)

I still think everyone is too harsh on JK Rowling, and they don’t give her enough credit.

This is the woman who has created so many brilliant characters, but especially female characters.

JK Rowling gave us Ginny Weasley, who taught us to stand for what we believe in, never give up, and how to be strong while also witty.

JK Rowling gave us Minerva McGonagall, perhaps the most badass teacher Hogwarts has ever had; Minerva who didn’t put up with any shit even from her own colleagues, who was fair and took away house points from her own house when appropriate, who told Peeves how to unscrew a chandelier to annoy Umbridge.

JK Rowling gave us Molly Weasley, who showed us that women can wives and mothers whilst still remaining valid and strong. She showed us that a mother’s love is unconditional, extending to children who were friends with her kids, who destroyed a witch for threatening her family: “not my daughter, you bitch”.

JK Rowling gave us Nymphadora Tonks, an auror who had a sense of humor, was clumsy but endearing, and who loved a man who didn’t think he could be loved. She too showed the strength a wife and mother could have, sacrificing herself so her son could live in a better world.

JK Rowling gave us Luna Lovegood, who is unapologetic about who she is; she’s quirky and strange, and that’s what makes her so wonderful. She has strong beliefs and loves her friends dearly, remaining positive even when people snicker about her behind her back.

JK Rowling gave us Queenie Goldstein, a beautiful blonde witch living in 1920s America who is witty and far more than her looks; despite hearing everyone’s thoughts - good and bad - she remains so bubbly and cheerful most of the time. She falls in love with someone she shouldn’t, and she does some drastic misguided things because of how much she loves him - even if it’s illegal for them to be in love, she knows it’s not wrong and will prove it.

JK Rowling gave us Lily Evans-Potter, who was strong who was stubborn, who stood up for her friend when he was being bullied, who sacrificed herself intentionally so that her son - her baby son, innocent and unaware - could live. It’s her love that saves him from death so many times, teaching us that we should never underestimate a mother’s love for their child.

JK Rowling gave us Leta Lestrange, who was haunted by her past and her family name, who grew up knowing she was unloved and unwanted, knowing that she killed her mother just by being born. And yet she managed to become a friend to a young boy who needed it, and she fell in love with someone who adored her. She showed that you can’t judge someone by their name, that she was brave, strong, and even died to help the ones she loved escape.

JK Rowling gave us Fleur Delacour, who at first seems vain and rude - but who loves her fiancée-later-husband and stands by his side when he’s attacked. She loves her little sister and would do anything for her, would be lost if anything happened to her. She moves to a foreign country away from her family because of her love for someone, even when that person’s family didn’t want her to marry him and treated her with disdain.

JK Rowling gave us Porpentina “Tina” Goldstein, an American Auror in the 20s who’s demoted for helping an abused boy, who broke the law to stop him from being beaten. She’s a woman who has cared for her little sister for years since their parents died, a woman who probably had to give up her childhood to take care of her little sister, a woman who just wants to protect her people. She’s also a woman who makes mistakes and learns from them, who learns that beasts are not necessarily monsters or completely dangerous; she learns to see how wonderful they can be too. She learns to open herself up to someone, taking that chance and eventually starting to fall in love with him.

Perhaps most memorable of all, JK Rowling gave us Hermione Granger. Hermione who was not pretty and had buck teeth with bushy hair. Hermione who valued books and learning but also bravery and loyalty. Hermione who made friends with two boys and helped them along the way, falling in love with one of them along the way. Hermione who fought for the things she believed in, who fought back when bullied or attacked. Hermione who showed generations of girls to never dumb themselves down just for a love interest, showed that being beautiful was not the most important thing a girl could be.

JK Rowling deserves so much more credit than she currently gets.

*record scratch* *freeze frame*.

Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.

Hufflepuff: Are you listening to High School Musical while studying? Ravenclaw: How else do you expect me to bop bop bop to the top of the class?

fred: prepare for trouble!

george: and make it double!

fred: to cause the school some devastation!

george: to prank all peoples within our nation!

fred: to sell our snacks to all of you chumps!

george: to leave your faces full of lumps!

fred: fred!

george: george!

fred: weasleys wheezing at the speed of light!

george: buy our stuff now, or prepare to fight!

ginny: oh my god you two shUT UP

The Teachers Table:

if lemony snicket wrote harry potter

Krum attacked Fleur, who responded with “Sacré bleu!” This exclamation is a phrase with many possible meanings and connotations. Literally, it translates to ‘sacred blue’, a phrase which does not appear to make much literal sense, and might lead an earwitness to suspect that the speaker is invoking some kind of nefarious coded phrase. The French invented it as a way to swear without invoking the name of God, as ‘bleu’ and ‘Dieu’ are similar sounding words, such as ‘look’ and ‘book’, or ‘code’ and ‘forebode’, or even ‘last breath’ and ‘painful death’.

This history, while fascinating, is not in fact relevant to this situation. For I, dear reader, happen to be privy to exactly what the young Miss Delacour meant when she exclaimed “Sacré bleu!”, thanks to a chance interview in a crowded fish statue three years after the fact. And so “Sacré bleu” in fact here means ‘oh fucking shit’.

Muggles are not able to REBLOG this.

REBLOG this to prove you are not a Muggle.

my reblog button fucked up and i almost had a heart attack

I did it in the first try.

OH YEAH

Ravenclaws probably have, overall as a house, the worst grades in the school tbh. 

Reality is, Houses just aren’t what people think

Gryffindors aren’t as emotional or act before you think like people think, They’re absolutely the SURVIVERS of the houses, THEY are the street smarts of the houses not slytherin, they are confident, They went -ALL of them- to fight in the battle of hogwarts like JKR said ‘for the glory’ BECAUSE THEY WERE SURE they WILL survive AND live to see their glory, they’re not afraid, they WILL insult, they are impulsive they are so prideful, again, They. Are. Survivers, They are so sure of that, they WON’T die.. and even if they will, it’s got to be WORTH it.

And Hufflepuff, They are so protective, they don’t trust easy, but once you prove you’re a good person, you’re their EVERYTHING, they will welcome you, they are the PEOPLE’S PEOPLE. They’re so charasmatic, fun, loving, Everything you wish for in a person, But DON’T make them snap, They won’t be nice, they won’t back down until they get YOU down, They give second chances, but Don’t forget easy.

And Ravenclaw tho, They’re the people you can ramble emotional non-sense to all day, and they WILL understand you, they will WANT to understand you, And believe it or not, in a bad situation, the ones that will keep their heads cool are not slytherin, but ravenclaw, they’re rational in the WORST of times. But when insulting a ravenclaw, their reaction might as well be the the worst of all houses, While slytherin will try to get you with all their might because of the anger that overwhelmed them, And gryffindor will act on impulse, hufflepuff will act on dignity, Ravenclaws will look you in the eye and give you a comeback that might as well make you want to rethink your life

no but i wanna know what was it like in snape’s class with the Ravenclaws and the Hufflepuffs.

They pretty much drove him up a wall

Especially the Ravenclaws

You get that one Ravenclaw who can brew the most complicated potions, from Veritaserum to wolfsbane

But hadn’t turned in homework in two weeks

“Where is your essay, Mr.Boot?”

“In the non-existance sir, the nowhere, the place where even the deepest knowledge and most powerful wizards cannot reach, unless they inflect death on themselves”

“Meaning?”

“……..I was up all night researching something cooler”

And the hufflepuffs tho

Do u think that a fully fleshed student in helga’s house would agree to CUT a poor little CATTERPILLAR?

“Miss Abbott what is that dispicable smell?!”

“COOKIES!”

“…Excuse me?”

“sir, I didn’t wanna crush a poor innocent little ladybug, so i added chocolate chips instead.”

They propably mastered the art of annoying the living daylights out of him

And did they care about the points they lose?

N-O-P-E, It’s either gryffindor or slytherin that wins every year anyway

They propably got him presents and stuff on chrismas

Just cause they want to watch his expression

His face wrinkling, Enhancing his tremendously large nose as a deep shade of pink spreads across his vampire-pale skin

you’d never get to see a grown adult stutter and stammer as much as snape on a chrismas day

Trying to mutter “Thank you”

And failing misrably

They’d also congratulate him if slytherin wins a quiddich match

“WHY are you brewing AMORTENTIA when the assignment IS A HEALING POTION-”

“Because we wanted to give it to you sir

”…W-what?“

“Sir, we were wondering what the love potion would smell for you?

”…“

*A muttering from the background* ”…Well definitely not shampoo though”

The whole class bursts out laughing

So I just had a thought

What if supernatural creatures don’t exist anymore? What if they did once, but through the years, they slowly mixed in with humans?

You can see the blood of fairies in the way a ballet dancer hovers in mid air before he or she hits the ground. You can see it in the way that middle school girl never forgets when someone makes her a promise. You can see it in how that one little boy in the kindergarten class seems more comfortable in the forest on that field trip than the others.

You can see the blood of dryads in hikers who never trip over roots. You can see it in that suburban grandmother never lets any of her garden die. You can see it in that one kid who climbs a tree faster than his friends, barely looking at the branches as he goes.

You can see the blood of naiads in the way a professional swimmer seems to command the water to help them. You can see it in how a cross country runner needs a water break more often than his teammates. You can see it in the way that one girl in your class always has a water bottle on her desk.

You can see the blood of mermaids in a surfer who can be tossed around underwater for a long time without drowning. You can see it in a teenage boy who doesn’t have to pretend to be unbothered by the pressure when he races his friends to the bottom of a swimming pool. You can see it in the little girl who wades into every stream she sees on a hike without quite knowing why.

You can see the blood of sirens in people who never have a problem with getting people to date them. You can see it in that soprano who can hit notes most of her fellows can only dream of. You can see it in the camp counselor who all the straight girls have a crush on, who can play guitar and sing better than any of the others.

You can see the blood of shapeshifters in the way an actor adjusts their personality to become their character with scary accuracy. You can see it in the subconscious, barely noticeable changes a tween girl’s eyes make to match her outfit better. You can see it in the way you always lose that one friend in a crowd if you’re not careful, because he’s just too good at blending in.

People who carry the blood of werewolves don’t change with the full moon anymore, but you can still see it in the way your best friend always knows something is wrong, though even they don’t know they’re smelling the changes in your body chemistry. You can see it in the way that one guy always seems to eat more than the reasonable amount of red meat at an all-you-can-eat buffet. You can see it in the way that one werido never has a problem when the teacher turns off the lights before a PowerPoint presentation because her eyes adjust quicker and better than yours.

The blood of supernatural creatures may have mostly faded away. But if you look closely, you can still see it.

“You do care,” said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached. “You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”

Halloween is a time for children to be with other children. So when the holiday arrived, James and Lily hesitantly dropped Harry off with a family friend so that he could play with someone his age. They were both understandably nervous as they watched their fifteen-month old wobble around the unfamiliar kitchen, his eyes lit up as the other children eagerly showed him their palace. 

They knew that they shouldn’t take this big of a risk with the prophecy. Why had they listened to Sirius? Oh, right, because Remus had agreed. And James had nodded and had said, “If we’re going to keep Harry alive, we might as well give him a life.” And Lily had smiled and had given in. Still, she clung onto her husband, as they watched their child disappear into a crowd of hyperactivity.

“Not to worry, dears,” said the smiling matriarch, giving them both a hug. “He’ll be perfectly safe on my watch.”

And she was right.

When Voldemort arrived that evening, Harry was perfectly safe.

Instead of James and Lily, it was another set of parents who died, leaving their family behind. A family that needed a home…

There was no question from Lily, no hesitation from James.

And if anyone happened to see Lily on the sidewalk, with red hair that was almost as fiery as her eyes, well, who wouldn’t assume that the seven gingers following her were her biological children?
