“Regulus Arthur Potter, you were named after two of the bravest men I’ve ever known, and one of them was a Slytherin.”

A much better name than Albus Severus because Regulus actually seemed like a decent guy and DIDN’T BULLY CHILDREN. And Arthur was a great father figure who DIDN’T FORCE A CHILD INTO AN ABUSIVE HOUSEHOLD

If Grimmauld Place is the ancestral manor and has been around since say the Middle Ages can you imagine the Black family’s horror when all of a sudden that part of muggle London is being built all around them?

“They’re building in our front yard, and it’s going to be –long suffering pause– a townhouse.”

“Muggles. Muggles everywhere! Hide the children!”

“What if we pick up Grimmauld Place and move it somewhere else?” “This thing is so old it’s being held together by gold-plated spell-o-tape and magic, do you want it to fall apart?”

thosebizzareserpents:

I don’t want to write Albus as this angst riddled teenager. Now its all dooming that he’s sorted into Slytherin. His godfather is Neville Longbottom for goodness sake. That his relationship is so strained with his family. Albus and James are not Sirius and Regulus Black.

James, Albus, and Lily are not Albus, Abeforth, and Ariana Dumbledore.

funnydivine:

Regulus negotiating his defection, like:

–

Regulus: Do
you trust Dumbledore, then?

Sirius:
With a secret? There’s no-one I’d trust more.

Regulus:
With your life, moron. Do you trust him with your life?

Sirius: …

Sirius: I’m not a god-damn fool, now, am I.

–

Bonus:

Regulus: Well, there’s a surprise.

(New fics come to me in the form of dialogue snippets, as bloody usual.)

It’s supposed to be so awesome that Remus Lupin got to go to Hogwarts rather than being home-schooled, but when you think about it, it’s a pretty messed up situation to drop a kid into.

“Congrats, Remus, you are going to Hogwarts! Don’t forget to keep quiet about who you really are because the other kids won’t like you if they find out the truth, and they kinda have a point, now don’t they? 

No, you can’t have your own room, so just come up with an elaborate lie once a month, and hopefully your roommates aren’t that bright and won’t be amongst the 90% of wizards who are prejudiced against werewolves and will probably beat your ass when they figure it out, because if that happens, it’s you that’s getting expelled. Not like it matters, cuz you ain’t getting no job anyway, not in this werewolf-phobic economy. 

Also, we were considering changing your name to Kevin, but you know what, let’s stick with that Wolfy McWolf name you’ve got, just to keep things interesting.”

I never thought of it that way, but it is messed up

Y’all can say what you want but I refuse to believe

astudyinwinchester:

that Harry James Potter, an orphan child, who grew up in an abusive house hold, would ever, EVER, tell his son, quote: ‘Well, there are times I wish you weren’t my son.’
He would never. He of all people, who felt unwanted for several years of his life, would never tell his son that. No matter what.

This.

I refuse to believe that happened. Yes Harry sometimes had a temper. Yes sometimes his mouth was smarter than his brain. No he couldn’t have said that. No matter how he angry he was.

I get it he might fight with Albus a lot and say some bad things but not that, never that.

Not in a million years, not even in some half assed AU, I’m sorry but not Harry Potter

  • fandom please I implore you all to talk about Dean Thomas more
  • literally yelling for a red card during a Quidditch match
  • painting a potter for president banner for his friend HOW CUTE
  • offering to forge a signature so that same friend could go to the village with the rest of them
  • actually he paints banners supporting Harry on two separate occasions four years apart 
  • is it weirder that he keeps doing that or that Harry keeps getting himself into situations where he requires banners
  • good with a quill be still my beating heart the boy is an artist
  • literally not giving a single fuck that their teacher was a “dangerous half-breed” because he respected the hell out of him as a person and educator
  • IF YOU MEAN PROFESSOR LUPIN, HE WAS THE BEST WE EVER – 
  • and he grew up as a muggle so he had already been exposed to werewolf folklore and he had every excuse to be afraid or prejudiced and instead decided to judge him on a human level, even without the familiarity the trio etc. had to him
  • standing up for that same teacher time and time again
  • including to a ministry official who he just generally gave the sass to anyway
  • never losing his faith in Harry even when his very best friend in the whole world and approximately 89% of the wizarding community basically thought the bloke was a nutjob
  • convincing his best mate to join DA 
  • there was a fair bit of an anti-dean sentiment in HBP best to ignore that then
  • never having any animosity towards his friend for getting together with his ex-girlfriend so soon
  • completely supporting and defending Harry while on the run because OBVIOUSLY why stop now after seven years of doing literally that at every single opportunity
  • being completely bemused by but always kind towards Luna
  • helping to dig the grave on the beach
  • running out into the final battle without a fucking wand 
  • evidently winning one at some point
  • everything to do with him and Seamus however you want to view their relationship but frankly I could do a whole other post on that
  • also I met Alfie once and he was so pretty
  • dEAN THOMAS
