what if the harry potter books just continued
harry potter and the soul-crushing job hunt
harry potter and the mortgage payments
harry potter and the unpleasant prostate exam
There doesn’t even have to be a significant plot line I think we’d all read about the boring day to day life of harry
I would sooooooo rather read any of these than The Cursed Child
We should make a fan event: Find about 20 fanfic authors, then assign each one five year after Harry’s time at Hogwarts. Then the one with “years 1997-2002″ writes their fic, spanning over all five years, one of them, a month or even just an hour (aka any part of the timespan, long or short); long or short, whichever pairing and whatever else. The rules are:
- no crossovers
- no major character deaths
- no toying with what’s previously written
- you must be compliant with all previous fic(let)s
- no extending out of your time period.
Then they publish the fic and send it to the next author (”1999″) who reads it,writes their year, and sends both (named according to their year/put in the same document) to the next author. When it comes to the last author, they have to write Harry’s death and the ending.
It will take some time (I suggest that each author gets two weeks, that way it’ll “only” take a year), but it’ll be worth it I think. And, since canon divergence is allowed, the first author will have lots of freedom, the second a little less, and the last 5 or so will have to do some mental gymnastics to get everything as they want, and that will be Very Rewarding And hilarious I think.
….i am ridiculously down for this
this seriously needs to happen.
If ghosts can’t pick things up (e.g. quills), then how the fraggle fuck does Professor Binn’s mark essays?
He recruits Filch which is why he’s so grumpy all the time, he has to sit there flipping pages and grading whatever Binns needs him to
this actually makes sense
can we just talk about the time that Lupin was recovering from a full moon and Snape taught the DADA class and made all the students write essays on how to kill werewolves for Lupin to read when he got back I hate Snape so much it’s not funny
Lupin gets back and he feels like crap and suddenly his best friend’s son is writing an essay about how to kill him like that is so fucked up
Bear in mind that an ex-Death Eater does this to someone who was in the Order, risked his life fighting against said Death Eaters and lost his best friends to the Death Eater’s genocidal leader, for the sole purpose of screwing him over, and as far as we know he experiences no consequences whatsoever for doing so.
And if that wasn’t enough, he made them write those essays hoping some of them would realize Lupin’s a werewolf. And one did, but Hermione is a fucking DECENT HUMAN BEING and said nothing. Apparently the ‘insufferable know-it-all' can keep her mouth closed, when it’s for something important. Just like Snape didn’t do at the end of the book.
I’m getting mad, so here’s something I’ve realized while reading The Order of the Phoenix again. (Please keep in mind that my books are in Italian and some concepts might be hard to explain, I apologize for my English mistakes)
In chapter 14, when The Trio talked with Sirius, he said that two years before Dolores Umbridge had written a law against werewolves that made it almost impossible for Lupin to find a job.
Now ask yourself this question. Why two years?
What had happened two years before? During Harry’s third year? Oh, right. The Magical World had discovered that one of Hogwarts’ teachers (someone who was in constant conctat with their children) was a werewolf. Does that ring any bell?
But that’s not all! If we take a look at chapter 15, in the Daily Prophet article we can see a familiar name: Remus Lupin.
In a newspaper. Where everyone can read it. “The werewolf Remus Lupin”. No wonder he couldn’t find a job!
And it’s not the first time the Daily Prophet has written about him, as it’s stated in the article itself. There must have been a huge scandal when it had all come out.
So basically, when Snape decided he couldn’t bear not having what he wanted (for example, SIRIUS BLACK GETTING KISSED BY A DEMENTOR) and spilled the secret, he didn’t only tell the whole school. He didn’t only tell the kids’ parents. The told the whole Magical World.
He told the whole Magical World that a man who had kept his condition secret all his life was a werewolf.
And the Magical World responded with a law against werewolves.
So, basically, Snape didn’t only ruin Remus Lupin’s life. He ruined the life of every single werewolf in the UK.
But, you know. Bravest man I ever knew.
FUCKING HIT THAT REBLOG SO FAST THANK YOU
I’m not even joking when I’m saying I’m crying rn my sweet precious baby this isn’t fair
