@marginalia [Harry Frankfurt, 𝘖𝘯 𝘉𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵]

Could've been a tweet.

Harry always considered professor Severus Snape as a "tough, but fair" type of teacher. He was disappointed that his friends couldn't see it and he always had to defend professor Snape's actions to them.

"Well, you shouldn't have spoken out of turn, Hermione!" Harry said after professor Snape called her an "insufferable know-it-all". For whatever reason, Hermione refused to help him with his homework that day.

Another incident came in the 4th year. "In his defense, your teeth were long before and it's hard to spot the difference when you-" Harry began to explain, but then Hermione started crying and Ron looked like he was going to kill him, so he shut up.

Ron and Hermione might have expected Harry to lose faith in professor Snape after he witnessed him leading the Death Eaters at Hogwarts and personally murdering headmaster Dumbledore with the Killing Curse. They thought wrong.

"You don't understand! Professor Snape and Dumbledore clearly planned this!" Harry continued defending the seemingly confirmed Death Eater and Dumbledore's murderer, Severus Snape. Everyone thought he was crazy, but that only made it all the sweeter when he was revealed to actually be right! Too bad everyone refused to acknowledge it just so they don't have to deal with Harry's smug attitude.

After Harry wanted to name their son Albus Severus Potter, Ginny files for divorce.

OG Death is really the goat. I loved him sm and his entrance is probably my favourite on the show, nothing will ever beat it. The whole sequence, the vibe, THE SONG, ughhh it was so perfect.

It's incredibile how he was only in 5 episodes and yet he had such a big impact on the show. He was such an interesting and different character. I loved his quick-witted attitude, he was so sarcastic and funny but he was still very intimidating. That's what I loved about him, his humor didn't ruin the character's vibe for me. Even Dean was scared of him.

Ngl, I hated when they killed him, I wish he stayed there. Maybe him being such a favourite of mine is one of the reasons why I didn't like Billie. And the thing is that I liked Billie before becoming Death, I just didn't like that they made her the new Death.

But still to this day this remains one of my favourite entrances, if not my favourite.

Evanesce into my dreams
Where I see that which has withered —
morphed and recoloured
Abnormal: undefined
Anchored to another to which I must refine

@marginalia [From Theodor Adorno, 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢]

I think it should be noted that Adorno is famous in Frankfurt for the Adorno-Ampel, a traffic light he lobbied heavily for to be installed right in front of the university building he taught at, because "Should a student, or a professor, find himself in the state that is actually appropriate for him, namely in thought, then there is an immediate threat of death."

Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we got...

"What?" Draco was utterly confused, and the rest of the class was no less shocked than he was.

"You've heard me, Mr. Malfoy, I expect you here tomorrow evening for your detention!" professor Snape said.

"My father will hear about this!" Draco blurted out, still shocked and now also angry.

"That he will!" professor Snape concurred. "I shall write to Lucius myself and remind him how badly such foolish and obvious sabotage reflects on his son and family as a whole!"

Harry: "What happened?"

Sirius: "On my 15th birthday... I only got 36 presents."

Hary: "Well, that's a lot..."

Sirius: "But the year before... the year before I got 37!"

Walburga's Portrait: "But sweetie, those presents were quite a bit bigger than the previous year!"

Sirius: "I DON'T CARE, MUM! IT WAS JUST ANOTHER SLAP IN THE FACE AFTER YOU GAVE AWAY MY SECOND BEDROOM TO REGULUS!"

Walburga's Portrait: "Sweetie, I know it was hard on you, but that disgusting squib brother of yours barely even fit into that cupboard under the stairs anymore. And it was really embarassing, not having a place to hide him in anymore whenever someone came to visit-"

Sirius: "SHUT UP, MUM, I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"

"Oh no." Harry went pale as he finally realised the horrible truth.

However, the other Slytherin's believe she did it because Draco was really annoying and are inspired to do the same.

Lots of the former Slytherin's get re-sorted into Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff instead.

Soon enough Draco is basically the only Slytherin left. Even Crabbe and Goyle got re-sorted, somehow getting into Ravenclaw. Pansy went into Hufflepuff, whilst Tracey and Astoria followed Daphne into Gryffindor.

(Daphne decided she had to be re-sorted as being in Slytherin meant that other Slytherin's would try to interfere in her relationship with Harry)

What I think they’d post if they had instagram accounts - ofc this is only hypothetical, if were being realistic I don’t think they’d post.

I have been looking for this fic for days now. Actually dug into and through my old FFN account with over 50 pages of saved fics.

More to add, I am pretty sure it was not a bashing fic. I believe someone else takes up the mantle of dark lord and Snape keeps Tom's secret of adopting Harry from Dumbledore for a bit.

I’m looking for any fix that has Grandfather Voldemort or Grandfather Dumbledore.

It could also be Grandfather Gindlewart.

"I wanted to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor here at Hogwarts." Harry said.

"I think I could certainly do a much better job than some other Defense Against the Dark Arts professors that were allowed to teach this subject at Hogwarts." Harry said, while the so-called headmistress Dolores Umbridge was in the background, scribbling notes and looking utterly furious.

No doubt she took offense to it and while Harry no doubt thought he'd do a much better job teaching her subject than she did, he didn't feel like earning himself another detention for no reason. "Like professor Lockhart, for example." Harry said, hoping it would calm Umbridge down.

Professor McGonagall took one look at Umbridge and said: "Well, I suppose I can't argue that you'd be better than the current DADA professor, Mr. Potter, but you still have a long way to go before you-"

"HOW DARE YOU!" Dolores Umbridge screamed out so loud that her voice was heard by people many rooms away.

“HARRY POTTER” Dumbledore roared. He grabbed Harry by the throat, lifted him up, and slammed him against the wall. With his other hand, he slapped him hard across the face. “DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME,” Dumbledore yelled, spittle flying at Harry. He backhanded Harry across the other side of his face. “IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE!!!” Dumbledore screamed.

“I- Wha- No, I didn’t-” Harry sputtered.

“DON’T LIE TO ME!” Dumbledore raised his wand and pointed it at Harry. “DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET? ANSWER ME! CRUCIO!”

“AHHHHHH” Harry screamed.

“DID YOU ASK AN OLDER STUDENT TO PUT YOUR NAME IN FOR YOU? TELL THE TRUTH! CRUCIO!.”

When Harry just kept screaming, Dumbledore decided to try a different tactic. “Accio Ronald Weasley.” Ron suddenly came flying into the room.

“Woah.” Ron looked around and saw Harry. “Hey mate, what’s going on? Why didn’t you tell me you put your name in the Goblet?” Ron asked

Dumbledore pointed his wand at Ron. “Tell me the truth, Harry. Or else.”

“I- Please, I didn’t- I don’t know- Please don’t-“ Harry begged.

“AVADA KEDAVRA” Dumbledore yelled, killing Ron.

“NO! RON!” Harry wailed.

“That’s what you get for lying, Harry. Now did you, or did you not, put your name in the Goblet of Fire?”

“Ron… Ron is… You just killed…“ Harry said in shock.

“Accio Hermione Granger.”

“NO! Stop, please. Don’t hurt them.”

“If you don’t want me to hurt them, just tell me the truth. Did you put your name in the Goblet?”

“N-No, I don’t-“

“Avada Kedavra.” Dumbledore killed Hermione.

“HERMIONE!” Harry cried. “NO!"

I'd like to read a fic where he's the one being bashed.

Preferably during Hogwarts era, and not post DH.

I'm looking for your favourite harry/fleur fics, anything is alright, like fluff, slow burn etc., I don't mind!

TYSM

Vaguely remember this works, but Harry at some point had issue with his magic and controlling an aura.

Dumbledore went to Appoline Delacour for assistance having to due with her being a Veela and controlling her internal aura.

Ended up being a slow burn Harry/Fleur, but I dont recall if it was actually listed as a Harry/Fleur story.
