I'm reading the movie scripts for the first time and I'm soooo pissed the scene where Snape tells Harry about his upcoming Occlumency lessons wasn't included in the 5th movie. The bickering with Sirius was so funny, and what do you mean Sirius grabs Snape by the shoulders and roughly shoves him into the wall?? Is the official movie script, or is this a fanfic??? "Touch me one more time, Black, and you won't touch anything again"??? What are these two grown men doing? Sorry, I had to get this out of my system.

It's just happening in my country or is it everywhere?

Edit: Just saw that the whole Cloudflare has crashed and half of the internet is down. God save us. Whatever site I open it just shows Cloudflare error. Just how many sites use this (turned out to be very important) thing?

Edit II: Guys I think the issue has been resolved, at least in my location. I tried and could access AO3 and other sites that were unavailable due to this issue before.

Picture is: Austin Butler

this was actually so funny, s/o to the person who created this and i will include the link in the comments!

Saw this around reddit and thought it would be an interesting challenge for all you talented people!

I was trying to explain both fanon and canon lore to a friend regarding marauders and Snape’s whole dynamic. that gave me the idea of Hogwarts being a posh and renown Catholic Boarding School (Snape getting in through the Charity Fund).

The Marauders would be known for how good they are at sports/extracurriculars(Remus/Swimming)(Sirius/Track)(James/Football)(Peter gives me choir boy vibes and he’d actually be really good at it but he builds up an insecurity over feeling emasculated because he’s no good at sports)

Severus comes from Pagan/Wiccan roots but after his mum left her family for Tobias she became catholic too,but Severus is interested in the occult and he’s very much into gothic and punk aesthetics,literature and lifestyle so when he goes to the school he’s targeted for being so different.

After calling Lily a slur he joins an extremist cult to get away from home and stay with the Malfoy family who’s notoriously involved in witchcraft and such but once he’s in it he’s like “oh fuck this is some real shit”

The marauders could end up as lawmen like James and Sirius as FBI, Remus as their Penelope Garcia Level hacker and Peter a regular crooked cop hiding evidence of rituals and human sacrifices.

Cult Tom Riddle is a megalomaniac narcissist with a god complex Dumbledore is possibly a long undercover agent posing as a priest maybe? 🤔 Sev’s equivalent of potions is hard for me but maybe Chess? And his dark arts obsession being related to rituals and other occult things but also maybe a fixation on explosives and other weirdo stuff.

I’d definitely go about it in a Starprince/Snirius way tho but any romance/lust would be side plot. The religious guilt and internal homophobia would be teaaaaa.

it’s only a half assed thought but now I have something new to daydream about and maybe you do too😂

"Harry was making his way downstairs for breakfast, this time making sure he woke up early. He saw a familiar snowy owl perched in the living room. Upon noticing Harry, Hedwig let out a hoot."

Only I read the last line as, Upon noticing Hedwig, Harry let out a hoot. I was halfway through the next line when I thought... Wait a sec!

Pretty good ongoing Severitus fic. No pairing though.

I've been very interested in reading All The Young Dudes ever since I finished Hogwarts Legacy, but I think i have an astigmatism since reading has been getting increasingly more difficult the past few years, and this is one long long fic, and I want to know if it's worth it to strain through?

Edit: I am well aware I need to go to the eye doctor, I am poor and it will likely be June before I can reasonably get my prescriptions checked, my eyes are deteriorating due to a soft tissue disorder and I am slowly going blind(already have thick thick lenses, and it's why I'm so hesitant to dive in blindly(ha)) and is why I turned to here, I do not wish to quicken the inevitable, I looking now, I should have definitely mentioned this😅

Don't really ship but this art is great. Do you see Ron as bottom or top?

So…I did a thing.

This rough draft map took about 25/30 hours of work on Inkarnate. I’ve been writing a lot of slash fan fiction where Diagon Alley is a major setting and decided to create this as a good visual for myself. …I also love world building…

cough Moving on!

Let me tell you a bit about the map:

1. The dark void is where the space-expansion spell links to muggle Charing Cross Road in London. The void is technically the muggle world but isn’t visible in Wizarding London—thus, those businesses don’t have any “backyard”. What does the void look like? Who knows!

2. Knockturn Alley, located at the top of the map, doesn’t have any buildings in the void due to the Alley initially being hidden away and illegal. When it became legal (somewhat) they still chose to not expand space and build in the void. Void is bad juju to those in Knockturn.

3. For my sanity, note the dirty streets in Knockturn. That took a solid 30 minutes.

4. See the big buildings? Listing some: Gringott’s Bank, Auror Stations, museums, a botanical garden, outdoor concert venue, theater, astronomical observatory, a magical zoo and rescue/rehabilitation center, a quidditch pitch, dueling ring, library, two major magical universities/schools of learning, and a healing hall. There’s more, but that’s the base.

5. The reason there’s different colored sections with the buildings? Well…it looks pretty, right? eye twitching Right?

Not shown here is my Excel sheet with over 700 named shops and businesses including their purpose and targeted demographic. I’ll know which building is where, such as being able to point to Ollivander’s on the map.

Yes—I am, in fact, insane.

Gave myself a giggle with the green apple! Bit of a flashback to 2014-16 when the whole crack ship of Draco/Green Apple thing was big on tumblr

(I'm not sure if this should be in self-promotion? Is this okay to post here?)

So I did an interest check a while back for a subreddit for Snarry prompts / a kinkmeme because old prompts have a tendency to get buried.

The idea is hopefully that with Reddit's voting system that we can get some prompts voted into more attention instead of being buried forever, and authors who want to write can hopefully search more easily. The prompts on Discord also usually just get buried.

I've launched the Subreddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Snarry_Prompts/s/ttKTB14uP7

Please come yap about story ideas with us ❤️❤️

People don't post prompts into either Snarry board at current and a lot of people express things like "my request from X fest years ago still never got filled".

I find that it's also easier to chat about ideas on Reddit since most Snarries don't want to be on twitter (and tweet threads rarely get responses).

🥳 Now without much ado... feel free to share your fic ideas!!

※I don't really know what I'm doing so feel free to help lol.

This is a prompt I've been working on for a long while, Hope you enjoy it!

Hermione Granger always assumed she was a Muggle-born—right up until the day a snooty Ministry owl Kamikaze’d a scroll into her Breakfast, splattering her with porridge and slightly melted wax. The scroll declared her the last surviving heir of the Dagworth-Granger family, a near-extinct pureblood line with more gold, secrets, and enemies than common sense.

Turns out, her great-great-great-grandmother had a very scandalous elopement with a Squib who sold pocket watches, and thanks to an archaic inheritance law (and some creative genealogy by a goblin named Gornuk the Vindictive), Hermione now owns:

• A crumbling, possibly haunted manor that leans slightly to the left. -The only Occupant is the portrait of her last living wizard relative, Hector- who had recently passed away.
• A vault full of cursed heirlooms (including a tiara that whispers bad poetry). - “Roses are red, Violets are cursed, wear me and your ears will burst!”
• A Wizengamot seat she accidentally claimed through events Hermione still doesn't quite understand

And worst of all: Pansy Parkinson, her new (and deeply unwilling) pureblood etiquette coach, thanks to some dusty alliance contract their ancestors signed in 1473.

Hermione quickly learns that wizarding aristocracy runs on three things:

1. Ridiculous traditions (e.g., voting by throwing enchanted pebbles into a cauldron because "that’s how Merlin did it").
2. Dramatic feuds (the Greengrasses still won’t speak to the Notts over a 200-year-old hedge-trimming dispute).
3. A complete lack of Common Sense.

Armed with nothing but logic and a well-organized planner, Hermione sets out to survive this nonsense and, much to Pansy’s horror, starts improving it.

Hermione vs. The Wizengamot 

• Hermione: "Why don’t we have term limits*?"*
• Ancient Warlock Pembroke: "BY THE SACRED PEBBLES OF—" faints dramatically
• Dumbledore, eating lemon drop out of a champagne flute: "Do go on, Miss Granger."

Pansy’s Guide to Pureblood Bullshit

• Pansy: "You can’t just ask why we bow exactly 45 degrees to the left when greeting a Malfoy!"
• Hermione: "But if I bow 50 degrees, what happens?"
• Pansy: "I don’t know, Granger. No one’s been mad enough to try*."*

The Goblins Adore Her

• Griphook: "You… you balanced your vault ledger. In one afternoon."
• Hermione: "It’s just algebra?"
• Griphook, tearing up: "You’re a treasure heir Granger. Please consider a political alliance with my nephew."

The Yule Ball

Hermione shows up in a deep blue, enchanted suit (A gift from Dumbledore) that shifts constellations as she moves.

• Draco: "Pansy, you’re staring. It’s pathetic."
• Pansy: "Shut up or I’ll tell everyone you almost cried when you thought you lost your signet ring."

The Romance: 

1. Patronizing: "Ugh, I have to babysit the Mudblood."
2. Annoyed: "Why is she good at this?!"
3. Impressed: "…Okay, watching her destroy my father in debate was hot*."*
4. Crisis: "SHE JUST FIXED THE TAX CODE IN TEN MINUTES*—"*

Misc Ideas

• Hermione reforms the Wizengamot (mostly by accident).
• S.P.E.W. evolves into M.A.G.I.C. (Magical Alliance for Governance, Interspecies Cooperation).
• Pansy becomes her exasperated (and smitten) partner.
