but like do you ever think about the actual practicalities of creating the marauders map??? like shit, accurately drawing up just a normal map of a normal castle would take hours upon hours of work, especially for four teenagers who have like…… no idea what they’re doing. they basically taught themselves to be cartographers, for fun, when they were teenagers…… if that isn’t the most nerdy af thing you’ve ever heard idk what is.  add to that the fact that its Hogwarts with moving staircases, hidden corridors, secret passage ways behind tapestries and portraits, disappearing doors….. thats like…. a ridiculous amount of work, and thats not even taking into account all of the complicated magic they had to research and learn in order to track people and to disguise the map and to have it insult people on their behalf. not only did they have to explore every inch of the castle whilst taking notes, they must have spent countless hours at the library reading and sketching and researching,  and then there’s the whole casually becoming animagi thing. YEAH they were like… Raucous Youths who were forever getting into trouble and showing off and pulling stupid pranks and generally being the Marauders™ but they must also have had like….. a ridiculous amount of single-minded determination and stubbornness and just unwavering devotion to helping their friend/getting away with shit and honestly. its a terrifying combination.

Can we stop using that shitty narrative that Voldemort was asexual because “he wasn’t human enough to have sex anymore.” There’s nothing wrong with thinking Voldemort was asexual, but let’s just headcanon that without making the sexual attraction the marker by which humanity is measured.

K cool thanx

Scorpius and Rose had like 2 or 3 conversations and all of them were Rose showing clear distaste for Scorpius.

Scorpius and Albus spend every single day together, tell each other everything, and say the most romantic things.

So tell me how does it make more sense for Scorpius to be in love with Rose and not Albus…

Today is Meteor Day! Nearly 400 years ago, a meteorite fell into Emperor Jahangir’s kingdom. He had it transformed into this glittering blade, which he said “cut beautifully, as well as the very best swords.”

Knives forged from unearthly metal are particularly potent in certain kinds of magical ritual. The Space Chamber of the Department of Mysteries collects these knived and other tools made from meteors to ascertain their magical and physical properties. Currently they are working out an exchange with their American counterparts, who have offered access to their collection of rocks from the Muggle moon landings in exchange for the Ministry’s unparalleled collection of meteoric iron artefacts.
