Guys there’s no notes on this post. We broke another post on tumblr…
JK Rowling is the greatest writer ever
7 is the number for completeness in numerology
0 notes y’all broke it again
Shit.
Magical post
The only way to complete this post if that it was stuck on 7 notes.
congratulations to Minerva McGonagall on her pending retirement today, who is going to look down at her list of first years and see “James Sirius Potter” and just call it a fucking day
aka “A attempt at resolving/achieving something with less effort than is required for success, & a high probability of it proving merely futile & faintly unpleasant’
I can support this as a turn of phrase.
Added to Leonard McCoy’s list of quaint metaphors to be used in stressful situations.
if an expression I came up with was used by Leonard McCoy in a fic, I would feel so proud
Alright, look, all the remus is half French/Italian/Spanish/etc. Headcanons are cute and all, but guys, GUYS!
-he’s canonically half Welsh already! WELSH!
I honestly feel like this isn’t appreciated nearly enough.
*dreams of a Remus with the cutest twang of a welsh accent*
- Imagine Hope teaching him the language on the days of the moon so his little mind will be busily occupied while her hands shake unseen in her lap with fear and sympathy for her little boy.
-imagine Remus being startled into swearing in Welsh the first time he is pranked by his new dorm-mates.
-imagine their faces splitting into delighted grins and the following hours of swapping increasingly outlandish swears (Sirius knows some wild ones in French himself).
-imagine Remus studying Welsh magic, knowing that it’s supposed to be very potent.
