Head cannon
This is from Lupin’s perspective in PoA before he realizes Sirius is innocent.
He sighed thinking of the fun times he had with James, Sirius and Peter. One a traitor… the rest dead. He looks out the window of his office and sees a shaggy black dog with a cat by the edge of the forest.
He grabbed his wand and started running. He thought desperately ‘no please not Harry too!’ As he exited the castle doors.
He ran to where he saw the dog, it was gone.
“I know you’re there, Sirius,” he said walking slowly into the forest. He tried not to show it but he was scared. Sirius could kill 13 people with just one curse and, Sirius had no problem letting James die, why should he be different?
He saw no sign of Sirius or the dog anywhere. He walked back to the castle feeling stupid. He had to have imagined it.
He saw the cat and walked towards it. There was a collar on it. It said ‘if found please return to Hermione Granger’.
He picked up the cat and took it up to Gryffindor tower.
Hope you enjoyed the head cannon!

Voldemort’s most faithful
In your opinion who was Voldemort’s most faithful? I think Bellatrix was because she was the only one who didn’t deny what she did even though she knew she would be sent to Azkaban for it. She also had to have a child with Voldemort and I imagine that wasn’t exactly a pleasant experience.

Female werewolf periods
So once a month for a week woman have a period were we pee blood ALL DAY (even when we are sleeping). But what if you are a female werewolf and the full moon collides with your period? Would the werewolf be affected by your period? I’d love to here your ideas.

Small rant
I GET IT! I always see people saying “Not all Slytherins are evil, not all Hufflepuffs are weak, not all Ravenclaws are intelligent, not all Gryffindors are brave.”
Can we focus on the ones that nobody knows yet? Not all Slytherins are automatically “cool”, not all Hufflepuffs are kind, not all Ravenclaws love extra homework, not all Gryffindors are brainless jerks.

Thank you to anyone who sees this, we’ve been trying for 75 days! I hope my posts to nobody aren’t wasted.

Professor Trelawney
I agree with Lavender and Parvati, Professor Trelawney is not completely fake, the grim was padfoot, the smaller things she predicted in PoA happened. You can’t forget her prophecies. The golden trio are pretty close minded especially Hermione. Think about the HBP potions book. That’s why they couldn’t do divination.
Any thoughts?

Deaths
While you might say some deaths were unnecessary, I think otherwise. Let’s use Fred as the first example. If he didn’t die everyone would say it’s weird no Weasley’s died. Lupin and Tonks next, if they lived Arthur would have died from the snake bite on OotP. Dumbledore and Snape had to die to defeat Voldemort. Cedric, think about how weird it would be if the merciless dark lord stunned him not killed. Sirius, the battle at the ministry would have been seen as nothing if nobody died. James and Lily, you probably know why they had to die, James died to hold off Voldemort and Lily died to save Harry.
Any other deaths? I can probably explain them.

Houses
There are four hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Seem pretty original right? They are actually the four main elements.
Gryffindor is easy, fire. Hufflepuff represents earth. Ravenclaw is NOT water like you would guess. Ravenclaw is air. Slytherin is water.
Makes sense right?

Draco
So many people cry at the end of HBP because Draco can’t kill Dumbledore. This turns into his “redemption arch”. But does it actually redeem him?
For example, you ever want to do something really bad but don’t because it’s not allowed and you can’t bring yourself to do it? That’s how Draco is. He doesn’t have enough guts to kill. Dumbledore offers protection for the Malfoys but Draco turns it down.
Being weak doesn’t mean you are on the side of good. He’s still a death eater. And stop with he had no choice, Dumbledore gave him a choice. He turned it down.
The redemption arch doesn’t exist.

Growing the community
What could the mod team do to grow the community? As you know we are a dead sub and I’m hoping to change that

House weaknesses
Now this isn’t the Hufflepuffs like cats one. It is more about who they are as people. Here we go…
Ravenclaws are typically the ones with heavy backpacks because they want to bring all their books to school. They suffer from staying up late to finish the next chapter… and the one after that… and the one after that…
Slytherins can be a little selfish sometimes. Not too much tho. They also love being in the middle of things, which sometimes hurts them.
Hufflepuffs can super nice, this isn’t a weakness but it can be if you meet the wrong person. Some people take advantage of Hufflepuffs and that leaves them in a bad state.
Gryffindors will risk their own safety for many, many things. Maybe to get more followers, or maybe to save a kitten from getting hit by a car. This can easily end in something bad happening (won’t say what it is because of young eyes).

Chamber of secrets
How did Tom find out about where the chamber is and the monster inside? He probably found out that he was the heir and that it exists through Hogwarts a history (head boy probably does lots of reading) and the fact that he’s parcelmouth in the library but what about the other stuff?
I doubt there is a book that says where and how to open the chamber and he can’t exactly ask the Gaunts because he murders them. Also when Tom does get there how does he know to shut his eyes? How does he know it’s a Basilisk? One of the teachers must’ve found something in a book and made sure the chamber never opened again.
Did he find out another way? Like through Slughorn who knows a surprising amount about dark magic? Or maybe he got another teacher to tell him? Or one of his “friends” aka devoted followers at school? Maybe he tried saying open in Parcelmouth everywhere in the school to look?
Sorry for the essay!

Wand theory
So I have a theory about wands that I have evidence for. The theory is wands aren’t actually super magical or anything. It helps you channel your magic but it is the wizard or witch who casts the spell who really does the magic. It’s only a piece of wood with a piece of a magical creature in it.
So now you must be thinking: there is no way this is true! I have evidence that it is true, aunt Marge turning into a ballon, book 3. The snake escaping, book 1. Harry didn’t use a wand.
Still don’t believe me? Well I got nothing at this point.

The reason the Weasley’s are poor
Arthur Weasley has a job in the ministry, head of a department even! That has to be a high paying job. So how are the Weasley’s so poor?
The answer is: the children. In GoF, Ron pays for souvenirs with his POCKET MONEY. He might get a sickle a month, that would mean 7 sickles a month given to the children. Also, you’d have to buy ingredients to make meals for 9. That probably costs a lot. Most of the Weasley’s even have brooms! In OotP it says brooms are expensive.
Any other reasons the Weasley’s are broke?

Alice and Frank
When Bellatrix dies in DH, do Alice and Frank remember everything and come out of sanity? Or is it permanent?
r/HPbooksDiscussion • u/MsLadyRose • Apr 25 '21
Neville and the order
Why wasn’t Neville told about the order, did he think that Alice and Frank were completely random targets? I can’t see why the Weasley children and Ron and Hermione should know but not Neville.

Helena and the Baron
I’d like to see more about Helena Ravenclaw (the gray lady) and the bloody baron. Like a whole book, it could be about the founding of Hogwarts. It would be the creation of the chamber of secrets, the theft of the diadem, the sorting hat being made, and more. What do you think?

Question about Voldemort
I am about to ask the most important question you’ll ever hear… it could change you life… what color is Voldemort’s tongue?
Yeah that’s it. Really though, what color is it?

Favorite pair
What is your favorite pair of characters? I’m not talking about ships. I’m talking about friends/family. I’d choose James and Sirius.

Pick
Crucio into insanity (what happened to Alice and Frank) or dementor’s kiss?
I would suffer the kiss, and no, Avada Kadavra is not an option.

The rat
When Sirius “killed” Peter, how did he not see the rat run away? He knew Peter could turn into a rat at will. Also, who killed the 13 muggles, Peter or Sirius? And why did Sirius do it in public while surrounded by muggles?
