Whenever Hagrid finally decides to retire as Care of Magical Creatures professor you can bet your last knut that Charlie Weasley flies back to England the following week excitedly waving his resume and recommendation letters from no less than two Scamanders and the Minister of Magic, Hermione Granger.

I lay awake at night dreading the day when a very potter musical is no longer outrageously funny to people because they don’t understand all of the painfully 2009 cultural references that are made
I still wonder what it’s like to Feel the firm grip of your hand Imagining the quiet whispers of “I’m sorry, I understand,” & Loving you’s a living hell But I want to do it well & I don’t know how
- Like Hell, @staganddragon
something we agreed we like about uncle vernon is that despite like, personally suffering at the hands of wizards pretty significantly (dudley’s tail, marge), vernon is like, always ready to fuck with wizards? like he is SO SCARED of them but he’s always ready to fight? please take this moment to imagine uncle vernon meeting voldemort

I write Wolfstar fanfiction. (What? Really? No way! Shocking! I had no idea!)
It usually goes unnoticed, but I’m very particular with the way that I write. I’ll use different words and different writing styles depending on which character’s perspective a story is written from. I also try to pay close attention to the language that I use and how I use it.
This is my take on pronouns, specifically in regards to Remus’ lycanthropy:
James and Peter always refer to the Wolf as “you”. They see the Wolf as being a part of Remus, an extension of Remus. The Wolf is as much Remus as the human version of him is.
James: You were great last night. You were actually really easy to handle!
Peter: …You ate a rabbit.
Sirius always refers to the Wolf as “him”. He knows that Remus hates when he’s associated with the wolf inside, so Sirius tries his best to respect Remus’ wishes and avoid talking about the Wolf as if he is the same thing as Moony.
Sirius: Yeah, he kind of chased the rabbit around for a while and… well… that’s why you’re not hungry this morning.
Remus always refers to the Wolf as “it”. He hates humanizing it, giving it person-like qualities like gender and emotions. In Remus’ eyes, the wolf is nothing but a monster; a vile creature that has no rhyme or reason, no personality, no real motive for its actions, nothing except blood lust and hunger. Remus doesn’t consider the Wolf and himself to be the same thing. He doesn’t even consider the Wolf to be a real animal. It’s just a beast.
Remus: Well, I’m just glad it didn’t hurt any of you guys…
And I’ve been fairly consistent with my pronoun use, making sure that the way the boys talk about the Wolf also reflects their views on what it is relative to Moony.
Just some MES musings! (MES= MaurauderEraSmut! That’s me!)
james: 2 years ago today, i married my best friend
james: lily is still mad about it but me and sirius were drunk and thought it was funny so
