The ego on this guy, amirite?

I love that, when Remus saw Peter on the map, there were basically two possible answers:

a) There is some sort of glitch or flaw in an extremely complex magical object that you designed in your early teens, or:

b) One of your best friends, who died thirteen years ago, actually faked his death and is totally alive and there is a giant conspiracy going on.

And he’s just like, “haha, obviously it’s not Option A, so let’s go see Peter!”

Just like Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore collects people. Only, instead of focusing on those with influence, he looks to the outcasts.

The expelled half-giant.
The young werewolf.
The repentant Death Eater.

He protects them and gives them a second chance. All he asks in return is their loyalty.

And, if on occasion he requests that they undertake a certain task, invoking their debt of gratitude - well, that is no more than he is owed.

He once thought to add a certain disowned Black to his collection, but quickly realised his mistake.

Sirius is not an outcast, but a rebel. He knowingly chose his path, and chooses what price he is willing to pay for it. He refuses to be used.

So Albus Dumbledore abandons him.

Who gave you the RIGHT?

Dumbledore knows Sirius’s loyalty lies with Harry instead of him, and he has no use for someone who is not willing to follow his orders without question. 

Ooooohoo if there’s ever a post that fits my aesthetic…

okay but then where does Harry himself fit into this collection? Is he an outcast because he is “the Boy Who Lived”?

Nooonono, my friend, that’s what makes this post so beautiful. Because it fits the meta I’ve been trying to get people to accept for years. 

Harry was an outcast due to a childhood filled with abuse and neglect. 

Vernon made him an outcast by dismissing his claims of magic, berating him, locking him in a CLOSET and putting bars on his window, and let’s face it, even though her editor made her cut it out, Jo intended for there to be physical abuse. 

Petunia made him an outcast by enabling and contributing to this abuse, as well as making Harry do dozens of chores while doting on Dudley. 

Dudley made him an outcast by bullying him and threatening any students at school who wanted to be his friends. 

And the rest of the wizarding world made him an outcast when they bullied him for being an outsider.

Harry James Potter became an outcast the moment he was placed with The Dursleys.

And who put him there in the first place?

Universal made me sentimental, so here’s today’s warmup draw before I get a move on with commissions. Warm lighting is also probably one of my favorite things to play around with ^^

you cannot tell me that harry potter was not the Pettiest™ he once threw a potter stinks badge at ron’s head and then said the lines “maybe if you’re lucky it will leave a scar, that’s what you want isn’t it?” like u fucking Savage

albus dumbledore and that time he hid something that voldemort wanted in his school and defended it with protections so weak that three eleven-year-olds could get through them

albus dumbledore and that time he didn’t shut down the school when a giant fucking snake was wandering around it

albus dumbledore and that one time he sent two traumatized teenagers back in time rather than be like “hey maybe give this dude a trial”

albus dumbledore and that one time he didn’t figure out a member of his faculty was a death eater under polyjuice

albus dumbledore and the exact wrong way to handle a teenager who has post-traumatic stress disorder

albus dumbledore and the point at which you should really realize that keeping secrets is unhealthy

So I finished reading The Cursed Child (spoilers ahead)

On one hand, there is so many problems, like… So. Many. And it seriously sounds like a bad fanfic at times, I swear

On the other hand, it was nice to read about the older characters… and there’s Scorpius Malfoy. I love him so much? He’s wonderful, such a ray of Slytherin sunshine, he’s my new fav

But still about Scorpius… JK, WHY do you have to keep putting unecessary straight relationships on everything? That boy spent 400+ pages pinning for Albus Severus and you think you can convince me that easy that he wants to go out with Rose? Sorry, can’t do

borderlinephantom:

tonks and lupin are two of the gayest characters ive ever seen and somehow jkr thought it was a good idea to put them in a terrible straight relationship
