    “A soulmate is someone that just gets you. It’s a connection of minds, a mutual respect, an unconditional love and a total understanding. It’s about being yourself and knowing, not only that person is following and understanding your thoughts, but is right there with you, side by side.” ~ Charlotte

    NEW! Jily Actors AU - Oneshot

    image

    This surprised me as much as it might do some of you. I started writing this when I was ill with the flu last week, abandoned it because I was feeling too poorly to focus and then - when I opened it again this morning - I didn’t hate what I’d typed out so far and wrote a few additional scenes.

    I hope you enjoy this Jily Actors AU Oneshot (I can’t guarantee this is the last time I’ll write about them as actors).

    Anyone who has never heard the names Lily Evans and James Potter before must be a boomer. The two actors have dominated the box office with their films in the past nine years, more often than not starring opposite one another. Whether tasked to portray mutual pining, passionate hatred or fiery love, Potter and Evans make the screen positively buzz with the taste of opportunity.

    Read on AO3 HERE.

    New Story! FFN and AO3

    Snooping for presents is a common pass time around Christmas, especially in the Potter household. A fluffy family Christmas story featuring Harry, Ginny, and all the kids. Hinny Fluff. One-shot.

    A little fluffy Christmas drabble.

    For the amazing @thisismegz ! Congratulations, darling! You’re beautiful and I hope everyone treats you with the same kindness you’ve always given to me. Love you!

    Skirr

    “Hurry, Lily! Mum and Dad are gonna be home any second!”

    “When snooping for Christmas presents when your parents aren’t home, shouldn’t you be more worried about me?” Teddy poked his head into Harry and Ginny’s bedroom. “Besides, Ginny wouldn’t lay them out in plain sight when she knows you’re her son.”

    Lily’s little head peeped out from under the bed and she blew her fringe from her eyes. 

    “They aren’t here Jamie.” 

    Keep reading

    Thank you so much @matrixaffiliate 💕💕

    Hey Sam, I understand your stance on Hermione but I was wondering why Ron is being given the green light. He wasn’t the greatest friend to Harry either and I feel like a lot of people especially fandom give him this pass because he’s a male. Fandom has given him so many excuses it irritates me because if he was female character he wouldn’t be given that many chances. He’s not the only male character who fandom has turned a blind eye to, Draco is another character who fandom has turned into a hero and made excuses for. If Draco was female character would he be given a chance at redemption? I don’t think so. The only 3 characters that stuck by Harry and were loyal to a fault were Ginny, George, and Fred. I was pretty in the end of HBP that Harry didn’t ditch Ron and Hermione and go on the hunt with the twins and Ginny (if underage magic wasn’t an issue).

    It has absolutely nothing to do with gender. None. I truly disagree with you that Ron gets a free pass by the fandom. He and the rest of the Weasleys are often vilified while Hermione stands on this golden pedestal.

    Hermione has been constantly glorified by the HP fandom to the point where everyone overlooks all of her flaws. She’s the most popular female character by far, being paired with every single character in the entire series. She’s the smartest, the most clever, secretly the most beautiful witch, etc etc etc. Ron isn’t good enough for her in the Romione pairing because he’s dumb, lazy, and amazingly jealous.

    Meanwhile, Ron is often shafted and bashed in fandom. He’s portrayed as dumb, a terrible friend, and a terrible boyfriend/husband. Ron had a few bouts of jealousy when it comes to Harry, but that kid opened up his entire family to an orphan. A kid with 6 other siblings and who is often overlooked made sure his best mate who had no one was always welcome in his home and stayed behind every holiday with Harry. He made sure his mom made him a jumper for Christmas so he’d have Christmas presents to open. He stands up to who they think is a mass murderer and says that Sirius will have to kill him too. He didn’t talk down to Harry like Hermione always did. He often played the peacemaker between the two when they were at odds.

    Ginny is often vilified by the fandom, a little fan girl who gave Harry love potions. 🙄 Hermione? Nah, nobody would ever say that about Hermione. She’s too amazing on all fronts.

    I think a major reason that Hermione and Draco are glorified and often paired is because of the looks of the actors who played them. Also, Hermione was given all of Ron’s amazing lines. Ron was shoved into the background as comedic relief. Ginny was… well, she was fucking nonexistent.

    So, I don’t think it’s a gender issue at all. I think the movies played a massive role in fandom perceptions.

    I will be a Ron stan until the end of time. He was an amazing friend who made some mistakes when it came to some bouts of jealousy but I stand firmly behind the fact that he was generally an amazing friend. There is a reason Harry would miss him the most in the second task. There is a reason why Harry always hated when they fought and was miserable while you never heard him say he missed Hermione when they were fighting. Ron deserves better and not because he’s a male. That’s ridiculous and I’m not here for that. It’s based purely on character and traits.

    For the record, Draco is a turd and always will be. He was only mildly better as an adult but he’s still a shit person.

    @seriouslysam8 Well said😇

    GETTING READY TO POST BRUMOUS!

    I officially made the series on AO3 and updated my ff.net profile.

    Now, I’m finally getting around to doing my edits for chapter one. I put off my edits knowing that I’d want to start posting as soon as they were done. It’s going to be a long couple of days.

    A couple people asked me privately if Backstabber was needed to be read to enjoy the rest of the series, since several of you either weren’t interested in Marauders or couldn’t get through the darkness of that story. Backstabber isn’t necessary unless you want a more in-depth background into some things that happened in the first war. Things that are important that happened in Backstabber, will be discovered and explained through Harry’s POV. So, you can learn the important stuff with Harry and through his eyes. If you want a more in-depth look at some of those events, you can go back and read Backstabber. But, honestly, there’s only one main storyline from Backstabber that continues throughout the series. If you have been following me for awhile, you know that Marlene McKinnon did not die during the first war and she will play a role in the series. What happened to her is explained and sprinkled throughout Brumous. So, if you didn’t read Backstabber, you get a little mini-mystery that you can read and piece together what happened with Remus, Sirius, and Harry. If you read Backstabber, you already know what happened that dreadful summer.

    @seriouslysam8 ….

    I know I’ve said this before, but I cannot wait 😉

    It’s so good to see that you’ve started editing.

    I have to find some stories to occupy myself with till you upload 🤭

    Giving you all the love and encouragement🥰

    Brumous Sneak Peek #2

    “Speaking of potential boyfriends, don’t look, Ginny, but Harry Potter is looking at you and awkwardly shifting like he doesn’t know whether to interrupt or run,” Gemma added.

    Demelza looked over and gave him a little wave. “You did break up with Michael, right?”

    Ginny’s heart sped up as she slowly turned to see Harry was indeed standing awkwardly by the stairs and looking at them with the strap of his satchel gripped in his hands. His neck and cheeks looked flushed. He shot Ginny a lopsided grin when he caught her eye. Somehow, she got her lips to cooperate and shot him a reassuring smile. 

    “Not yet,” Ginny whispered as she stood up, smoothing her skirt.

    Not yet?” Demelza hissed. “Why not?”

    “Oh, Ginny,” Gemma groaned. “You’re going to miss your bloody chance with Harry Potter.”

    “Shh,” Ginny shot in their direction before she made her way over towards Harry.

    Relief spread across his face, his lips tugging up the closer she got. Her heart fluttered in her chest as she tried not to think about the fact that Demelza and Gemma were probably watching with bated breath at their interaction. She pushed that thought to the back of her mind as she stopped short of him, their eyes meeting.

    Reaching out a hand, she touched his wrist. “Are you all right?”

    Harry blinked at her for a second, his eyes snapping down to her fingers touching him. She pulled away, not wanting to upset him. She knew he didn’t like to be touched, but sometimes she couldn’t help herself ever since Easter. It was almost as though something had shifted between them, the air surrounding them light and airy. She rather liked it.

    “Yeah, I, uh… Ron and Hermione are at a prefects meeting,” he replied, his brows disappearing underneath his glasses as he looked back up at her.

    Ginny nodded. “Is there… do you, uh, do you need help with something?”

    Harry’s tongue peeked out of his mouth. “I wanted to talk to… Snuffles. I was, uh, I was wondering if you’d be my lookout.”

    “Yeah, of course, Harry,” Ginny said without missing a beat. “Is anything wrong?”

    Harry shifted. “No, so don’t feel obligated if you don’t want to.”

    Ginny rolled her eyes. “Trust me, I’m not doing anything I don’t want to do. You’re fine. I’m happy to help you. You’ve helped me loads.”

    Harry blinked. “With what?”

    Ginny’s heart thudded in her chest. She was fairly certain he didn’t want to hear about how he had quite literally saved her life when he was only twelve years old. Cocking her head to the side, the corners of her lips twitched. 

    “You helped me reach that book in the library the other week,” Ginny replied as he let out a small chuckle. “You saved me from being suffocated by dust bunnies when we cleaned out the study last summer. Oh! You split the last piece of treacle tart with me over Christmas break when I really needed something sweet. You split your Easter egg with me after Quidditch practice when I was upset that Peakes nearly knocked me off my broom to what was almost my death. Two summers ago, at the Quidditch World Cup, do you remember you gave me your jacket after the attack? Yeah, I never gave that back, by the way, and I never intend to.”

    A grin crossed Harry’s face. “Ah, that jacket with the stripes down the sleeves? That was one of my good jackets. I was wondering where that went.”

    Ginny tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “It was far too small for you anyway. It didn’t even cover your wrists!”

    Harry shoved his hands into his trouser pockets. “Embarrassingly enough, I think I got that jacket when I was nine. My aunt ordered it for my cousin and they shipped the wrong size and it fit me pretty decently.”

    I am so excited for this story that I just want to spam all of you with my excitement. Is it posting time yet?!?!?

    Yess!!!!

    It’s posting time….

    We are ready to read🥰🥰

    Harry: Are you really surprised?

    She couldn’t help but feeling surprised about the happiness she never felt before.
