I was listening to Harry Potter audiobooks while working recently! Deathly Hallows is my favorite book of the series, and I’ve always loved this scene.
Took the opportunity to experiment with some painting techniques while making this fun little piece.
I have been re-reading some of my favorite Drarry fics and in the process am being reminded of just why Draco and Harry are my all-time favorite pairing out of any fandom ｡：ﾟ(｡ﾉω＼｡)ﾟ･｡

according to JKR, lockhart was born in 1964, which would make him 28 at the time of “chamber of secrets”
do you realize what this means
most of lockhart’s coworkers, who all hated him so much, may have had to teach him at one point.
snape would’ve been in school with him, albeit a few years ahead.
imagine teaching/going to school this raging narcissistic dumbass, and then he graduates and from then on, no matter how bad life gets, you think, “at least i’ll never have to deal with gilderoy fucking lockhart ever again”
and then
he gets famous
he’s hailed as a hero
your students and your mum all have crushes on him
and then
he gets hired at your place of work
tl;dr: lockhart is lucky no one in the staffroom stabbed him by midterm season
You know what I want? Fucking Veritusarem. I want Dumbledore to use his extensive power to get some, put it in the Orders cups, and ask who the traitor is. I want James Potter to use his knowledge of potions, from years of watching his father, inventor of the best haircare product ever known to wizard, to make the potion, since even brothers can betray each other. I want Lily Potter, a genius at potions, to make some and serve it to her husband friends in their firewhiskey, because you can’t trust anyone in a war. I want Sirius Black, whp would kill for any of his friends but loves James better than his own brother, to buy some to serve to his other best friends, because he will not endanger his only godson. I want Remus, ever crafty Remus, to steal some, just in case, because he does not want to be alone, or for the only people in the world who he loves to die.
Or, I want Professor McGonagall to take matters into her own hands, to protect the sons she never had, because she is Minerva McGonagall and can do any fucking thing.
In CoS when they try to sneak into Myrtle’s bathroom to ask her about her death, McGonagall catches them and Harry makes up the excuse that they wanted to see Hermione in the hospital wing and Minnie doesn’t give them detention and then comes this and since we all know Harry’s dumbest excuse, here’s the official suggestion to rate all of Harry’s excuses on a scale from
to
Harry Potter oscillates from 100% effort to coasting on a wave of apathy.
