Rec-Cember 2025 Overflow: Harry Potter [9]

[mrsluigivargas]

I'm going to be honest, I've never read/watched Harry Potter. Well, aside from the first hour of the 4th movie in class and the last 5 or so chapters of the 7th book, lmao. But still, my friends were obsessed with it in high school; they had a whole OC universe and everything. I'd at least felt I should kind of know what was going on, haha. I read a lot on FF.net back in the day, and to be honest most of those fic were kinda bad (evidence here XD) But AO3 had some good ones! and here they are!

Magic is easy to see, to feel, to hear, to touch. The magic on the plate and the palate, however, is one that Magicals and Muggles alike can appreciate. Harry Potter will go on a journey to find the taste that he is looking for, and the magic that exists in meals made and meals shared.

Harry Potter is a dragon. He's been a dragon for several years, and frankly he's quite used to the idea - after all, in his experience nobody ever comments about it, so presumably it's just what happens sometimes.
Magic, though, THAT is something entirely new.

After the Christmas argument about Harry's Firebolt, Hermione decides that she's not putting up with the boys' sulking anymore, and she's going to do something about it. What happens next is a testament to the strong bonds forged through people actually talking to each other, the desperation involved in keeping your best friend alive and in one piece, and the desire to build a better, safer world for him to live in, no matter what the objections from the adults.
In other words, the risk in manipulating things to create child-soldiers is that they will decide that you, too, are also something to protect themselves against.

It takes courage to stand up to your enemies, and a great deal to more to stand up to your friends. Standing up to your family, however, requires even more than that. Good thing he's a Gryffindor then.

For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would become a Dark Lord. For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would take down the Ministry or die trying. He should have known that Hermione and Ron wouldn't let him do it alone.
