86/365 // day 26 of creatuanary 2019 - basilisk
So I’m working on this Hetalia/Harry Potter crossover that might not actually be written and a part of it is set in chamber of secrets and I had a thought/question about the workings of the basilisk’s gaze and its killing/petrifying properties
Cause, it’s stare petrifies you if you indirectly look it in the eyes right and we’re shown a few different ways this plays out, like seeing its reflection or looking at it through a ghost
And then there’s Colin Creevey
He sees the basilisk through the lens of his camera. Now, in the book we don’t actually find out what kind of camera he’s using, but I think it’s safe to say that it has a viewfinder (aka that little thing photographers look through to see what they’re photographing). Now, from how I understand it, that viewfinder is really just a lens. Colin Creevey survived looking a basilisk in the eye by seeing it through a lens
So, theoretically, you should be able to survive a basilisks killing gaze by... wearing glasses?

I’ve seen some people say that Remus deserved to get fired from his job because he put the students in danger when he forgot to take the Wolfsbane potion, which is sort of true.
However, I don’t think it’s a valid reason to fire him because when has Hogwarts ever given a flying fuck about student safety?
In Harry's 1rst year, he was forced to go to the Forbidden Forest AT NIGHT as a punishment for sneaking around at night. there was the Devil's Snare, Chewy, a chess board that nearly killed them, and the DADA Professor had Tom on the back of his head.
Then in 2nd year, Tom possessed Ginny, a Basilisk was going around petrifying students, and Lockhart was going to erase Harry and Ron’s memory and let Ginny die.
In 3rd year, there were dementors flying around the school
Don’t even get me started on Quidditch, because that game is a safety hazard as a whole. I mean whose idea was it to invent iron bludgers to hit people, while they’re flying mid-air. And who thought it was okay to let children play that sport?!
And let’s not forget that Tom literally killed a student and he still wasn’t expelled.
I don’t think I need to explain anymore…
