91. Harry mourned for the dead after the war, but he never cried for them.
In fact, he never cried for anyone, at least not since he was very little. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia had always told him it was a weakness, and showing weakness was not tolerated in the Dursley household; they’d stamped the urge to cry out of him by the age of five. So he didn’t cry for his parents; he didn’t cry for Cedric or Sirius or Dumbledore or Fred or Remus or Colin or Dobby or Tonks or Lavender or any of the other fatalities in the Second Wizarding War. In fact, he’d mainly thought he’d lost the ability forever. Until, that is, the first Christmas at The Burrow after the War. Mr and Mrs Weasley presented him with his own spoon to place on the Weasley Family Clock, and Harry all but burst into tears at the fact that after 18 years he finally had a family that loved him.
90. When Harry and Ginny got married, Mrs Weasley’s gift to them was their own replica of the Weasley Family Clock.
Every time there was a new addition to the Potter Family, she presented them with a spoon with the new baby’s name on. It took pride of place in their living room.
89. Lily Luna somehow inherited Ginny’s fire-red hair, and Harry’s eyes. It made her the spitting image of her namesake.
Seeing her and James Sirius together as adults was always weird for Harry, because James looked exactly liked Harry; except for the eyes. He had Ginny’s eyes, meaning he too looked like a replica of his namesake.
Seeing his youngest child and his oldest child together always made Harry’s heart ache a little, because it always reminded him of the first time he saw his parents, when he looked into the Mirror of Erised.
88. it was never that Lily denied her crush on James. It was more that she didn’t realise it existed.
At least until some blonde bimbo climbed into his lap at a victory party the Gryffindors threw when they won the House Cup. That was not okay. So Lily told the girl at such. Very loudly. And with rude hand gestures. When Blondey looked at James and looked offended, he just laughed, and told her that he heart always belonged to Evans.
86. Neville was slightly bemused when he got and the Nightbus for the first time.
“What yer name then?” Stan Shunpike had asked, and when Neville has replied all he got was a laugh “Nice try mate, but yer no Neville Longbottom. He were on here a couple a years ago and you look nuffin’ like him! I betcha your famous or sumfin, and don’t want anyone to know, eyy? Well it’s alright. I won’t tell no one.”
Harry eventually told him the story of his summer before their third year, when he heard Neville talking to Seamus and Dean in hushed tones about the fact that someone on the Nightbus had claimed there were two Neville Longbottom’s.
Dean and Seamus couldn’t laughing about the fate of poor Aunt Marge.
85. Despite what most thought, Voldemort visited Riddle Manor more than just the time he killed his good-for-nothing father and grandparents.
He went there just one other time, during the summer holidays before his sixth year. He stood outside the gates and looked in, ignoring the strange looks of the older locals, the intrigued looked of the teenage locals and just for a second, his heart ached for the father he never knew, and the life he never had. Quickly though, he remember that the said father had abandoned him, abandoned his mother just because she was magical and the pain receded, to be quickly replaced by rage that a mere muggle thought he was better than a witch.
84. Harry never told anyone whilst he was attending the school, but the Dungeons were actually one of his favourite places to go when he was at Hogwarts and needed time to think.
It kind of reminded him of his cupboard at the Dursley; as much as he hated to admit it, the cupboard was a familiar place. The sense of being contained made him feel safe. The feeling he got in the dungeons was the same.
87. the Twins’ inspiration for the Extendable Ears came from Percy, who had a habit of telling them that “They could only listen in on more conversations if they had ears that stretched away from their heads” whenever he caught them snooping.
In tiny print on the back of every package were the words ‘For PW, who’s a stuck up git, but has good idea’s sometime.’
johnniekathryn: So I absolutely LOVE your blog and I'm not trying to sound offensive in any way, but I don't really agree with your last post. Voldemort/Tom was always evil. He was incapable of loving because he was conceived under the magic of a love potion. Therefore if he can't love, then he has to be evil. There is no in between. That's just my opinion though, I guess. Like I said, LOVE your blog. Just giving my 2 cents.
you’re not being offensive at all hon, and like I say, a lot of these are personal headcanons; not everyone’s gonna agree with them.
To be honest, the headcanon is based entirely on a fanfiction I read, in which Dumbledore was the evil one and had manipulated Tom using dark magic from an early age, to shape him into the villian he ultimately was. I know that it would never happen, but it got me thinking about the whole “incapable of love meaning he’s evil” thing. Whilst mostly disliked as a group, many sociopaths are “incapable” of love, but theyre not inherently evil. The same could be said of autistics; depending on their place in the Autism Spectrum and the severity of their condition, many severe autistics have a removal from their emotions and are therefor pretty much incapable of love, but again, it doesn’t make them evil. (I have a list of other disorders, but i shan’t bore you with them.) That’s not to say that the theory is wrong - is canon, for a start, and I also beleive that his conception made him incapable of love - and whilst I agree there must have been something wrong with him since the beginning (as shown by his behavior towards the other children in the orphanage) I honestly believe that somethign must have happened whilst at Hogwarts to push him fully over the edge.
Thats just my opinion though, and yours is also valid. Don’t ever be sorry for expressing it.
and thank you (‘:
83. Tom Riddle wasn’t always “evil”. Sure, he was always a little messed up, but he was never really sick and twisted until his fourth year.
That was the year that the taunting really started, in earnest. Yes, the other kids in his years has always teased him a little bit; he was an orphan, he was strange looking, he never really played well with others, but Tom knew that. He accepted it. Fourth year though… fourth year Tom got to add “fag” onto the list of names people called him, got to add him being a “poofter” onto the list of reason people disliked him. He’d always dabbled slightly in the Dark Arts, but after that year he pulled his persona around him like a cloak, donned the pseudonym Lord Voldemort for the first time, and dived headfirst into the proper Dark Magic. He never looked back.
whoops, sorry guys.
there’s post in the queue, but none of my queues are working at the minute, so I’ll post some now.
82. After Lucius was sentenced to Azkaban and Narcissa had moved to stay with Adromeda and Teddy, Draco sold Malfoy Manor.
The rooms held too many bad memories for him. He would walk through it’s halls and think to himself “That’s the room that Voldemort used as his office.” or “That’s where Bellatrix tortured Granger.” and “That’s the dungeon Lovegood and Thomas were kept in.” It was enough to make him sick. So he sold the Manor, and bought a house, on the spur of the moment, in Godric’s Hollow. When he found that the person who lived next door to him was Potter he nearly laughed himself sick, but he eventually decided that coping with the Boy-Who-Lived as a neighbour was the least he could do to be rid of the rooms that still plagued his nightmares.
Anonymous: Could you do more Lucissa and Narcissa ones please? BECAUSE YOU'RE SO AMAZING.
thank you! and yes of course I can.
psa to everyone: i’ve pretty much sorted out everything that needed to be done, so I’m back in business. Send in your headcanons!
Thank you for everyone’s answers.
I made my decision. I’m going to get a co-owner.
so, if you’d like to help me out, drop me an ask, and I’ll add you to the team, so you lot can have more frequent updates (:
NB: please only apply if you have headcanons, because most of the headcanons on here are orginal, because we don’t get many submissions and so you really do need to be able to make your own.
also, does anyone have any idea’s for how I can make this blog better, because I really do want it to be as good as possible for you guys.
hi guys,
as you’ve probably noticed, I haven’t been posting much lately.
I’ve had a lot going on in RL, and im extremely stressed out because of those things and I don’t have the time to be running this blog.
I am not going to delete this blog, because it wouldn’t be fair to you guys or the previous owner.
the way I see it, i have two options:
option one: go on a hiatus and post when I’m feeling up to it again.
this option relies a lot on your guys patience and willingness to stick to the blog, although I know that if i do go on hiatus I will lose followers and there’s not much I can do about it.
or
option two: find someone to help me co-run this blog, so that there is regular posting again, and I can make posts as and when I feel up to it.
I personally would prefer the second option, as I would still like an involvement with the blog but it is up to you guys.
So what do you think? Which would you prefer?
~Stevie
