Snape As Voldemort Questioned Him About Why The Elder Wand Didn't Work For Him

snape as voldemort questioned him about why the elder wand didn't work for him

People who downplay Harry’s abuse are no different than people who justify Snape being harassed by the Marauders bc he invented “Sectumsempra.” No shit he deserved to defend himself just like how Harry should be able to react however he wishes without being undermined.

It is very odd to me when some people downplay what Harry went through with Dudley like Harry hunting pre-Hogwarts because Harry “baits him.” There are explicit parallels in the text between Harry empathizing with Snape after seeing SWM as he “knew how it felt to be humiliated” and the recounting of general humiliation both during SS and during Occlumency lessons.

Here is a friendly reminder that abuse victims don’t need to be “perfect” for their abuse to be valid and they can cope with it in different ways.

The #snegulus ship I’ve been seeing on my timeline confuses me since it can go both ways: Regulus could be a walking trigger since he’s described as closely resembling Sirius or teen Snape might’ve chosen to befriend him since he was a rich pureblood in Slytherin.

Classic Sirius-he’d be the one to tell Dumbledore in GOF “served her right”

Listening to the GoF audiobook, for the umpteenth time, and I’ve had a thought …

Bertha Jorkins in the pensieve telling Dumbledore -

‘He put a hex on me, Professor Dumbledore, and I was only teasing him, sir, I only said I'd seen him kissing Florence behind the greenhouses last Thursday...’

Surely has to be about Sirius, it tallys too well will Sirius’s (somewhat irritable) remarks about her -

‘Listen, I knew Bertha Jorkins. She was at Hogwarts when I was, a few years above your dad and me. And she was an idiot. Very nosy, but no brains, none at all.’

‘Maybe she's changed since I knew her, but the Bertha I knew wasn't forgetful at all - quite the reverse. She was a bit dim, but she had an excellent memory for gossip. It used to get her into a lot of trouble, she never knew when to keep her mouth shut.’

And the fact that Dumbledore so readily bought this particular memory of her up 😂 … all I can think of now is Sirius, in his GoF state, having an intense discussion with Dumbledore about the strange things going on, the disappearances, what could have happened to Bertha Jorkins … and Dumbledore just whips this old memory out

@thecat-isblogging-blog validated this new hc with her excellent insights -

Sirius + never forgetting a grudge = 🤝

And then the beginnings of a missing moment crackfic were born…

Sirius, feeling slightly nauseas after having succumbed to eating rats out of near starvation, stood staring in utter bewilderment at the memory of a sixteen year old Bertha Jorkins before looking back at his old Headmaster, the tiniest of smirks upon his face, his long silver beard twitched.

‘You do recall, Sirius? Your hex hit not only poor Bertha but also Professor Sprout's Devils Snare.’

… Sirius:

I mean Dumbledore did the same thing too. He only stopped pursuing Grindelwald’s agenda when Ariana was killed.

Double standards in this fandom are becoming my main pet peeve one post at a time.

'severus only changed sides because of lily >:(' yeah so what, still changed sides and helped a lot of people, my dude.

Forget the aftermath of the Marietta SNEAK jinx incident. Harry and Cho were def not gonna work out considering when going to Madam Pudifoot’s for their cringe date Cho remarked “Remember when that Sirius Black escaped…” lol can you imagine Harry not telling a girl he’s honestly into about Sirius? Granted the situation is trickier than that but still…
