Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

I’ve just come to the realisation that Hermione Granger probably memory charmed her parents and packed them off to Australia long before she told Harry and Ron she’d done it at the beginning of Deathly Hallows.

She literally never goes home from Goblet of Fire onwards, spending her summers with the boys instead. In GoF she’s remarkably blase about her teeth, something her dentist parents would have noticed and felt hurt about. 

If I were to guess, I’d say she probably did it after the wizarding world cup when she’d seen exactly how the wizarding world treats muggles and decided not to let that happen to her folks. Hermione knows which way the wind is blowing and gets in early. She’d be more than capable of doing it. 

…Oh my God.

hermione is fucking ruthless and i will fight anyone who tells me otherwise

that was her “negative” gryffindor trait

was she incredibly brave and courageous and loyal? yes

but she was also vicious and violent and trapped a woman as a beetle in a jar for over a year because she pissed her off

Just, in general? OK, then.

The girl I adore, Lily Evans:

• Swears like a sailor.
  
• Has absolutely zero reservations about dancing in public, no matter what she looks like.
  
• Always carries out a dare until the very end.
• Harbours a strong, courageous streak, which, despite all of her other wonderful characteristics, is her underlying, most potent trait, which is why she ended up in Gryffindor.
• That bravery also involves standing up for what is right.
• Sticks up for those she loves.
• Even when people are beyond her help (*cough* Snape *cough*).
• Jumps in puddles.
• Loves - and loves to help - animals, big or small.
• (‘Would you consider James an animal?’ ‘Shut up, Marlene.’)
• Isn’t necessarily allergic to lilies, but tells everyone she thinks they’re clichéd. Loves lilies anyway.
• Likes plants in general, even though she has two black thumbs.
• Never one to be intimidated by an opponent.
• Snarky.
• Although, she can be easily flustered (*cough* James *cough).
• Often talks back to her teachers, but never in a disrespectful manner.
• The above is pretty much canon, according to Slughorn.
• So she always uses cheek, but never in an ignorant manner.

• Adores marshmallows.
• She loves bonfires and sparklers, so she can roast marshmallows.
• Likes dogs, but is a cat person.

• Doesn’t trust herself with fire, either, but still uses sparklers religiously.
• Always takes part in Bonfire Night.
• Collects candles.
• Chases butterflies (with Peter).
• Doesn’t cook an awful lot, but is very good at slow-stewing meals, such as casseroles and soups, seeing as it’s so similar to Potions.
• Loves cupcakes.
• And loves to decorate cupcakes, even though she makes a mess.
• She’ll bake them with Peter (well, he does most of the baking), and she’ll help to decorate. Peter’s decorating skills usually trump her’s, though.
• She just adores the pastel colours of the icing.
• Sets up bird houses in her backyard.
• Doesn’t mind one bit when visiting owls use them.

• Likes stargazing.
• Does it often, with James, even before they were dating.
• Usually involved tears and cigarette smoke.
• Prefers cloud-watching, though.
• Likes astrology, sure, but doesn’t set a lot of store by it (at least, that’s what she tells people).
• Mildly superstitious.
• Loves to climb trees.
• Broke her arm when she was kid, once, from falling out a tree. Healed a little too quickly (from da MAGIKS).

• Likes maxi-skirts.

• She’s not bad swimmer.
• Accidentally swum to the deep end when she was young, and nearly went under before someone dragged her out.
• Her worst fear is drowning.
• Loves to ride her bike. Only wobbles a little bit.
• Loves gingerbread, and whacks James over the head when he suggests that it’s because of her hair.
• ‘Shut up, you prat.’ ‘You love it, Ginge.’
  
• Likes tennis.

• She throws her racket at him.
• And then starts pelting tennis balls at him.
• Lily in a visor.
• Has a great friendship with each of the Marauders.
• Bonds with Sirius over their family issues.
• She worries greatly about her family, not her blood status.

• Makes her own jewellery.
• Made a friendship bracelet for each of the Marauders.
• Peter accepts his happily.
• Remus smiles and wears his proudly.
• Sirius wears his with a multitude of wristbands.
• James refuses to wear it, at first, because ‘I’m your boyfriend, Lily, not just a friend.’, so she kisses him on the cheek and tells him it can be a Boyfriend Bracelet.
• He never takes it off, after that.
• Squeals when Sirius gives her rides on his motorbike.
• Doesn’t wear a lot of makeup, because she doesn’t like how it feels on her skin.
• In fact, she used to wear more than she does now.

• But she stopped when James points out how much he likes her freckles.
• However, she knows that she doesn’t need the attention of a bloke to make her feel comfortable in her own skin.

Headcanon that McGonagall is offended on a personal level that Umbridge loves cats. 

This literally got 600 more notes just while I was at dinner what the fuck

How has nobody thought about this before tbh

Ok but imagine McGonagall in cat form prowling around the castle, in strategically chosen places so that Umbridge will come across her. 

Umbridge takes the cat back to her office and feeds it a little saucer of milk. The cat starts coming back to Umbridge’s office around the same time every night, until eventually Umbridge gets into a little routine of setting out a saucer of milk for the cat before bed. 

McGonagall now has all the best secrets on Umbridge, all of the results of the evaluations, and most importantly, is in a perfect position to spy on the ministry for the Order of the Phoenix. 

All because Umbridge is obsessed with cats.
