Don't get me wrong, when I first heard it, I loved it. But there is one issue.
Harry can't be a POC
The reason people originally made up the headcanon was because 1.) the utter lack of non white people, 2.) the fact that it never specifically states he is light skinned, and 3.) Harry Potter could be viewed as an analogy for racism (with half-bloods and purebloods, etc...)
And that's great, but, if it were an analogy, Harry can only be light skinned.
Why? Because it has been stated that the Potter's were a pureblood family, so, in the analogy, they would be white.
You might be saying, yes, but James married a muggleborn, so Harry is a half-blood.
Okay but Lily had light skin as well. I'm not sure if it specifically says that, but she does have red hair, and I haven't seen a natural red headed POC.
Not being racist, like maybe there is someone out there, but it at least isn't common
So Harry just can't be.
Hermione, on the other hand
100% yes
okay carry on
I love Remus fanart soooooo much because the I always pictured Remus way cuter than the actor that played him in the movies, and just, ugh
Thank you
You know how you get told stories by your parents? Like from their childhood?
And, I wouldn’t know, but if your parents… you know… had died, I’m guessing that their close friends would tell you some stories about your parents childhood?
So, Teddy Lupin had no one to tell him about his parents life. Everyone else that knew Remus or Tonks knew them through the war, or were aquaintences when they were in school.
All of Remus’ friends were gone, so Teddy would never know what his father was actually like
Headcanon: Professor McGonagall has a muggle wife she never mentions to the students, because they never ask.
Four years after Harry’s left Hogwarts he visits McGonagall’s home to talk her out of retirement, and the door is opened by a woman he doesn’t recognise. Confused, he introduces himself and asks to see McGonagall. The woman recognises the name and invites him in, saying Minerva will be home soon. She then talks a mile a minute, but not about the war - about the stories she’s heard about the golden trio from their head of house. About how Harry stood up to Umbridge, and how clever Hermione was, and how Ron had been able to beat her chess game, and how PROUD Minerva was of them all.
By the time McGonagall does arrive, Harry and her wife are chatting like old friends. Minvera’s wife calls her things like “Darling” and “Pumpkin.” Harry cannot believe his ears.
Harry is invited to tea every Wednesday from then on. He always looks forward to it.
Okay so the first time I took the Hogwarts House test, I got Hufflepuff (hence my username) And I'll be honest, I was kind of bummed But right when I start believing in my house and liking it, I retake the test just to see. AND I GOT SLYTHERIN SO IM THROWN INTO A STATE OF DISARRAY. LIKE WHAT AM I. I DONT KNOW ANYMORE. So I take the test again. And guess what? I get fucking /Gryffindor/. So like I know I'm not a Gryffindor. But now I don't know for sure whether I'm Hufflepuff or Slytherin, because I identify with both. SOMEONE HELP ME. @lillyyypottah you ain't cuttin' it.
okay, last post for the Misha spam
Remus: Thanks, Sirius. You're the best.
Sirius: No problem, mate.
*Sirius and Remus hug*
James: *watching from afar behind a plant with binoculars* Now....kiss.
