finally finished this print!! i’ll be selling these kids along with a whole lot of other merch at melbourne supanova this coming weekend, come say hi to kathy @anaeolist and i at table 42! If you can’t make it to the con, i’ve popped it up on my society6 here.
Ron’s always been the sensitive one and he hates it. Ginny’s a girl, but she doesn’t get upset often, is the first to roll her eyes and brush things off, to just get over it, but Ron’s never been like that.
He gets attached to the gnomes in the garden and notices all the little ways his brothers are mean to each other, even when they don’t mean to be, sees how Percy gets cold when they make fun of him, sees how angry Fred gets when no one can tell them apart and how this makes George sad in small moments. He cries when his older brothers move away, even though Ginny doesn’t, and Bill kisses both his cheeks and Charlie hugs him so tightly he feels like he might burst.
He hates being the sensitive one. Until he meets Harry and Hermione.
Between Harry’s obliviousness and Hermione’s cold logic, he’s grateful for this first time that he is this way, otherwise he doesn’t know how the three of them would ever fit together.
Headcanon that by 8th year, Harry and Ron were the kind of friends that constantly get asked if they’re dating. Like, “I saved the freaking wizarding world! If I want to lie on my best friend’s lap, I will.” They’re always walking with their arms linked or one slung over the other’s shoulders, and they’re constantly sharing inside jokes. Again and again, Ron has to insist, “No, he’s dating my sister. Really, he is!” Hermione and Ginny think it’s hilarious. “I hope us girlfriends will be invited to your wedding, at least.” McGonagall can’t help but smile when she sees them at it, because it reminds her so strongly of James and Sirius.
It’s kinda strange that this is my first Drarry art ever seeing that i’ve been shipping them since middle school (I mean first ever art I post online…I drew them alot in my own time back them)
Conclusion: Voldemort was the most useless, magic dependant wizard that ever existed. He could have lived till like 200 if he just ate well and exercised, but no he had to go and split up his soul and ruin perfectly good jewellery, fucking dumbass.
this sounds like it was written by hermione granger at 1 am
He tried to use an advanced death magic spell to kill a baby. He literally doesn’t know how to do anything without magic. Just drop it out a window my dude, babies are so delicate
Aaand that was Ron
To be fair, magical babies might not die from being dropped out of a window, as they have wild magic which can be triggered when they feel strong emotions (like fear) or possibly as a defense mechanism when put in danger (I don’t remember if this was explicitly said in the books or if it’s something I thought was implied). In fact, didn’t Neville survive being thrown out of a window as a child? His great uncle or some obscure relative did that to him to test if he was magical, I think? And that’s how his family found out he wasn’t a squib.
Headcanon that an outraged 6-year-old Charlie Weasley writes to an elderly Newt Scamander wanting to know why Gringotts keeps a dragon locked up underground and begging him to fix it. Newt writes back saying that sadly he’s been fighting that fight for years and no one ever wants to listen to him because the powerful families whose money is being kept safe by the dragon always shut him down, and that Charlie is the first person he’s heard of who’s as angry as he is about it. Charlie decides that day to dedicate his life to finding out everything he can about dragons so that one day he can free the poor Gringotts dragon. After the war, when they hear that Harry, Ron and Hermione freed the dragon, they celebrate and immediately begin petitioning to have it made illegal to imprison dragons so that nothing like that ever happens again. It’s only when Hermione becomes Minister that it’s finally signed into law.
This is the best Harry Potter headcanon I’ve ever seen
yes yes yes
Just imagine how that conversation would go though, like Charlie’s been learning about dragons his whole life, studying them, learning about the laws surrounding them, practising the jailbreak of dragons by smuggling one out of Hogwarts, preparing for the moment when, one day, he can free the Ukrainian Ironbelly from Gringotts.
And Ron’s like “Oh, yeah, don’t worry about it—we broke into Gringotts and used him as our get-away vehicle. He’s just chilling in the wilds somewhere now so, yeah. Job done.”
I want an AU where Ron, completely convinced that he’s overshadowed by all his brothers and will never be as remarkable or as well-recognised as any of them, just accidentally achieves all of their major life goals without noticing. They’re all super jealous and think of him as The Golden Brother and he’s completely clueless.
I’m not sure this is an AU to be honest. I mean:
Bill Weasley: Curse-breaker, works for Gringotts breaking into cursed tombs and distributing valuables to heirs. Ron Weasley both broke into Gringotts itself and destroyed the ultimate cursed object, a Horcrux. Check.
Charlie Weasley: Aforementioned dragon stuff. Check.
Percy Weasley: Social climber, status seeker, desperate for attention and approval from his superiors. Ron: Literally married to the actual Minister of Magic. Check.
Someone else add on to this with Weasley-twin eclipsing stunts and hijinks, I’m sure there are some but my brain isn’t thinking of them right now.
