the most unrealistic thing about harry potter

ohboywonder:

is that no teacher ever called him James by accident, or that Ron never was called “Bill-, eh Charl-, no Per-, argh!”

As a younger sister who knows this struggle all too well: THIS IS REAL. Pretty sure 70% of my past teachers still think I’m called what my sister is called in fact.

Imagine Fred being called Percy by McGonagall accidentally and then he gets so offended that he refers to her by “Professor [insert any other name but McGonagall” for the rest of the year, costing Gryffindor a considerable amount of points one at a time.

From then on, she vows to just call them all Mr Weasley.

Until Ginny comes along and she calls her Mr Weasley by accident and Ginny “accidentally’ calls her Sir and it starts again.

It’s lightly off-topic but also slightly relevant but I have long cherished this mental image of Professor Snape saying something snappish to Harry in just the wrong tone of voice and Harry absentmindedly, wearily, and completely accidentally responding with, “Yes, Aunt Petunia.”

au in which it isn’t the weasley family walking up to the platform at the same time as harry but the malfoys

I’M SCREAMING, HOLY FUCKING SHIT CAN YOU IMAGINE NARCISSA HELPING BBY HARRY ONTO THE PLATFORM AND DRACO APOLOGIZES FOR WHATEVER HE SAID AT THE ROBE SHOP THAT MADE HARRY UPSET BECAUSE HE JUST WANTS TO BE FRIENDS AND LUCIUS IS ALREADY MUTTERING ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF DRACO BECOMING FRIENDS WITH HARRY AND NARCISSA SLAPS HIS SHOULDER AND TELLS HIM TO SHUT UP BECAUSE “LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE LUCIUS, DON’T CORRUPT THIS” AND THEY GET A SEAT ON THE TRAIN TOGETHER. 

ALSO RON STILL ASKS TO JOIN THEIR CAR BECAUSE “EVERYWHERE ELSE IS FULL” AND DRACO STARTS TO SNEER BECAUSE HE CAN SMELL WEASLEY BUT HARRY IS LIKE “YEAH SURE COME ON IN” AND SO DRACO’S LIKE “OH” AND JUST UGHHHH. 

IMAGINE IF HERMIONE WALKED IN AND DRACO WAS ABOUT TO GO “MUDBLOOD”, BUT HE DIDN’T WANT THE FRIENDSHIPS HE MADE TO END SO QUICKLY, SO HE KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT 

IMAGINE IF HARRY GOT PUT IN SLYTHERIN WITH DRACO AND PUT INTO THE SAME DORMITORY HOLY HELL MCGONAGALL WOULD HAVE A FUCKING HEART ATTACK BECAUSE OF THE TROUBLESOME POTTER AND MALFOY SNEAKING OUT AT NIGHT WHEN THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN BED 

IMAGINE IF DRACO SEES HERMIONE DOING THE BEST OUT OF ALL THE FIRST YEARS AND REALIZING THAT BLOOD STATUS IS INSIGNIFICANT WHEN IT COMES TO BEING THE BEST AT SOMETHING 

IMAGINE DRACO STICKING UP FOR HARRY WHEN SOME PUREBLOOD SLYTHERINS TEASE HIM FOR BEING HALF-BLOOD 

IMAGINE DRACO BEING FRIENDS WITH RON, HERMIONE, AND HARRY AND THE FOUR OF THEM CAUSING SHIT UP FOR THE PROFESSORS

IMAGINE IF DRACO INVITES THEM OVER THE SUMMER TO MALFOY MANOR AGAINST HIS FATHER’S WISHES AND HERMIONE SEES HOW DOBBY’S TREATED SO POORLY

IMAGINE IF DRACO SUPPORTS HERMIONE IN HER CAUSE AGAINST ELFISH ABUSE BECAUSE HE FEELS HORRIBLE THAT HE ABUSED DOBBY JUST FROM HIS PARENTS’ ENCOURAGEMENT

BUT WAIT 

IMAGINE DRACO AND HARRY FINDING THE MIRROR OF ERISED 

AND HARRY SEES HIS DEAD FAMILY

BUT DRACO DOESN’T SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT

BECAUSE HE FOUND SOMEONE WHO ACCEPTED HIM 

AND THAT’S ALL HE EVER WANTED

NOT OKAY GUYS… NOT OKAY

Headcanon that your animagus ages as you get stronger and better at transforming.  

And so when a wizard transforms for the first time they’re just a little baby version of whatever their animagus is.

Sirius as a tiny black puppy (also this fits the name padfoot so much better than the giant dog).  Peter as a fuzzy little baby rat.  JAMES AS A FAWN.  MCGONAGALL AS AN ADORABLE KITTEN.

and Sirius working so hard to get better and stronger because “TINY PUPPIES ARE NOT PUNK ROCK JAMES” and he has to be strong and mature for his Moony.  

But Sirius is a puppy for like a year? and even after James is at least growing his antlers and peter is a full grown rat and SIRIUS IS A PUPPY.  and he can’t wait anymore and they show Remus and SIRIUS IS A PUPPY.  And then he realizes that it’s not because he’s not trying hard enough it’s because his animagus IS LITERALLY A PUPPY.

and it’s not until Azkaban that his animagus becomes the Grim.  It’s not until Azkaban that Sirius loses part of himself.

It was so happy, and then you fucked it all up!

I was literally smiling until it came to the last part
