‘You ran away from home?’ ‘When I was about sixteen,’ said Sirius. ‘I’d had enough.’ ‘Where did you go?’ said Harry, staring at him. ‘Your dad’s place,’ said Sirius. ‘Your grandparents were really good about it; they sort of adopted me as a second son.’
(and I know this set will probably be confusing to some people since a lot of people like Kristin Scott Thomas as Walburga but she’s always been Mrs. Potter to me)

• Happy Father’s Day to James Potter who stood between the Dark Lord and his son, wandless, knowing it to be a battle that could never be won.

• Happy Father’s Day to a boy of 21 that never got a chance to be a father - a rock of support. A teacher. A mentor. But who died for fatherly love.
• Happy Father’s Day to Rubeus Hagrid who brought such joy into Harry Potter’s life, and whom Harry loved unconditionally from the bottom of his heart.

• Happy Father’s Day to Arthur Weasley - an underrated underdog, and a radiant human being.
• Happy Father’s Day to Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore whose heart may not always have been in the right place, and whose methods birthed veils of secrets, but whose wisdom soothed Harry on many occassions.

• Happy Father’s Day to Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore who taught Harry that it is choices that make us who we are, far more than our abilities.
• Happy Father’s Day to Sirius Orion Black, the closest thing to James Harry ever had in his life. A confidant. A brother and a dad.
• Happy Father’s Day to Sirius Orion Black who, despite seeing James in a fifteen-year-old boy, gave Harry truth and confidence, treating him as an equal rather than a child led to hide behind great men and shadows, never testing for his true potentials.
• Happy Father’s Day to Sirius Orion Black who assured the bravest boy he had ever known, in his hour of darkness, that death was peace, swifter and easier than falling asleep.
• Happy Father’s Day to Remus John Lupin who taught Harry James Potter that his fears should not incite shame and humiliation - that strength lied in growth and acceptance of your weakness.
• Happy Father’s Day to Remus John Lupin who loved Harry as selflessly as James Potter and Lily Evans had once loved him.
• Happy Father’s Day to Remus John Lupin, who, despite never being a father to Teddy Lupin, raised a wonderful man who will raise his son to be as great a man as his father had been.
• Happy Father’s Day to William Arthur Weasley, a loving father to Victoire, Dominique and Louis, whose story tells of bravery and unwavering belief in the good of the world.

• Happy Father’s Day to Percy Weasley who loves Molly and Lucy as devotedly as Arthur and Molly had loved him, and is careful not to experience the pain of his parents.
• Happy Father’s Day to Percy Weasley whose heart still freezes at the jokes that slip his lips, yet the smiles of his children remind him it is what he would’ve wanted.
• Happy Father’s Day to Draco Lucius Malfoy who makes a point of showing his son that shackles of the past are not Unbreakable vows, that circumstances birth differences severed further by hatred. All he needs is a little trust and support. And a kind heart.
• Happy Father’s Day to Draco Lucius Malfoy whose heart swells with butterflies as he watches Scorpius be a man he himself could never have been.
• Happy Father’s Day to Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan who ensure the kids remember the spectacular fireworks on every birthday of their daughter. And teach her love is the most colorful sparkle in the world.
• Happy Father’s Day to Neville Longbottom whom his twins view as a hero, but who never forgets to remind them humans are not flowers - a person’s true worth lays beyond appearance and demenour, in the depth of heart, the very corners of the soul.
• Happy Father’s Day to Ronald Billius Weasley whose dad jokes never cease to bring light in the darkest of places nor embarrass Hugo and Rose. And whose advice is still the most powerful of all.
• Happy Father’s Day to Harry James Potter, a devoted and loving father to Teddy, James Sirius, Albus Severus and Lily Luna. A teacher. A mentor. A brother. A confidant.
• Happy Father’s Day to The Boy Who Lived and everyone who loved him enough to risk their lives to lead him to a place where he is now. Home.
‘This is a disappointment to the family.’
‘Join us, Lily.’

written for @hpwritersnet prompt of the week ‘minerva mcgonagall’
She enters Hogwarts young and naïve with cascades of magic flooding under her fingertips, churning in every crevice. She is rugged copper ready to be shaped, ready to grow. She engulfs herself in knowledge, filling every gap in her brain with words and symbols and spells until she cannot speak without inked letters spilling from her mouth. Her innocence is burnt away under the light of petty arguments and childish fun and she emerges slightly older and slightly less naïve.
She lives and learns and grows older still and finds herself back at her old school with old friends and she thinks this is where she is meant to be. She has tried the cool chambers of the ministry and although she knows she is strong enough to shout down the voices of those stuck in the past, she misses the Scottish rain and the hope of young minds. She changes the world by nurturing the roots instead of cutting the leaves, watching generations grow up in front of her.
She watches James Potter and Sirius Black charging through her corridors, overflowing with a love of life. Watches them pull Lupin from his shell and give Pettigrew a chance, sees her boys grow into men. She does not bring them up but drags them, barking orders to straighten up and tuck in shirts, because there is no space for the youth in the world, no time for them to mess around. Don’t they know the war is coming? She keeps an eye on the newspapers that bring her names of past students in lists of the dead, in lists of those wanted for the dead. She starts to hold onto all her students a little more, not enough that they notice but enough that the dread in her heart lessens a little.
