I haven’t seen any HufflepuffZuko lately. Is that still ongoing?

attackfish:

Yes, Hufflepuff Zuko is still ongoing.  I’m just very busy with school right now, and only noodling away at pretty much any fannish project I’ve got going.  But you know what, Hufflepuff Zuko could use a Five Headcanons post.

1. Andromeda and Narcissa don’t know about Zuko and Azula.  Bellatrix of course told neither of them, and the Ministry didn’t inform either of them either.  The day Andromeda finds out about her niece and nephew is not going to be pretty.

2. This experience is going to be part of Zuko’s impetus for his quest to do something about the shambles Wizarding social services are in, seriously.

3. Andromeda finds out through Teddy, who is only a few years younger than Zuko and Azula, and has run into them a few times.  He becomes good friends with Yue in his last couple of years of school, and it kind of hits him one day, oh yeah, her brother and guardian is uh, my cousin… Maybe I should let my grandmother know?

4. Narcissa never reaches out to Zuko.  After a certain point, he figures she pretty much has to know about him, since he’s something of a public figure, and his marriage to Mai was a scandal in pureblood circles, but she never reaches out to her half-blood nephew with his severely tainted linage.  After he goes into politics, Draco does however try to arrange a lunch.  He stops trying to ingratiate himself after Zuko’s political leanings become clear.

5. There are still living Lestranges out there, but their position on the twins have always been that they are illegitimate, not related to the Lestranges, and have no right to the name.  This isn’t exactly untrue, and they don’t seem like very nice people anyway, so Zuko never pursues it.
