Tagged by @leafiloaf . Leafi, thank you so much for the tag! 😭 Sending love 💖💖💕💕 Look, when my favourite Harrymort artist tags me for the wip game it doesn't matter that I did the tag game, I’m doing it again!
Rules: Share 7 (or more) lines of a WIP you've been working on.
I wrote a little one-shot of our boy Harry fainting in the forest in Deathly Hallows and waking up. Without his shirt? Where could his shirt have gone? 🤔
Let Harry tell you one thing. He's a bloody good escape artist. Just because his shirt got discarded and his torso is currently exposed to the cold air of the hall won’t stop him from running headfirst to the exit, wherever the exit is — something Harry’s starting to worry about right now. The burning, long fading mark in the middle of his chest the locket left behind throbbed dully, like its own heartbeat. All the hairs on his arms were up, rising in response to the biting cold, followed by goose bumps spreading along the skin. His empty fingers trembled. There was no wand. Someone took his wand. No weapon. Running bare-chested. Many strange things happened to Harry over these seven years, but this one definitely takes the cake.
At least he still had his trousers, glasses, socks and trainers. The girls and guys at Hogwarts would kill to see this, Harry was sure. The hair on the back of his neck prickled. A warning. Mid-step, a cloth wrapped around Harry's ankles and wrists, lifting his feet off the floor. Harry pushed his entire body forward, lunging in the opposite direction in an attempt to rip the fabric off of his limbs. The cloth was unbroken. More cloths snapped around him, like lunging snakes. Two more wrapped around his forearms, one wrapped around his chest, another around his waist, wrapping around his thigh, two more around his knees, and one around his neck. They all snapped tight, and Harry groaned as they squeezed, strangulating his bones with the powerful pressure. The only cloth that didn't squeeze him was the one around his neck, acting more like a rope than a handcuff. The cloths were like scarves. They extended outward, to the source. The ones around him slowly spun Harry around, almost gently, mindful not to break him. Harry followed the path of the cloths, and found they were connected to a robe. No. They were a part of the robe. Coming out of the robe like hidden serpents. His breath stopped in his lungs, caught in his throat in horror at the sight of the hooded, tall figure ten feet away from him. No. No, Harry was supposed to be dead… No… No, no, no, no… Harry felt the beat of his heart, and realized that he was very much not dead. He was alive. He was alive, and it was the most heart-wrenching realization to have in this moment. Harry was alive. And the cloth holding him captive came from Lord Voldemort, who prowled toward Harry slowly, like a slithering python approaching his captured prey. Harry glared at the hooded Dark Lord.
Voldemort looked at him silently, his ivory face cast in shadow, his red eyes glowing like rubies. He tilted his head like a curious snake. A slow smile curled his mouth
“Going somewhere, my dear Horcrux?”
Harry's breath hitched, his eyes stretching in horror.
No.
No no no no no —
Voldemort reached forward. A skeletal hand cupped Harry’s cheek gently, tenderly holding his face.
Harry wasn't even done panicking before the red eyes enveloped his sight, and darkness swallowed him.

BOTH ALEX RIDER AND BLACK BUTLER HAVE NEW SEASONS COMING IN APRIL 2024 AND I AM BESIDE MY ACTUAL SELF
FEED ME ALL THE DELICIOUS SEXUAL TENSION. MY YALEX- AND SEBACIEL-SHIPPING ASS CANNOT WAIT
so gorgeous
Mermaid AU where Tom makes people drown for fun, but Harry is not affected by his singing. Since Tom won't accept defeat and Harry has stuff to do, they both think the other is annoying.
(But deep down they're fascinated).
ok dumb idea but bare with me okay?
Harry Potter who has a secret tiktok social media account and has a pretty decent following because he gives off major steve irwin vibes.
Maybe during one of the many times he is ostracized by the school, he finds solace in going on runs in the forbidden forest and he got a phone because... well why not? who is gonna stop him? He found a way to make it work on campus so what does it matter?
Anyways, he makes tik toks about the freaky things he sees in the woods but approaches them with such gentleness and sweetheart vibes no one knows if he is using a filter or greenscreen or what.
He finds some nifflers in the forest and he goes into check on them. Especially frank who is the oldest and likes to follow him around for a little while. SURE he sees unicorns and stuff but "Look at this regular bird. Just hanging out. Look how brave he is. Hello!"
and then he makes tik toks about how awful his professor is and uses popular voice overs and muggles LOVE HIM. I mean LOVE LOVE HIM.
Wizarsd have no clue because even the best intentioned wizard can't really figure out muggle tech and muggleborns are too busy trying to fit in. The few that DO know him keep their mouths shut because they are BIG fans.
Anyway. Super famous tiktoker Harry Potter and his millions of followers and he has a whole platform all to himself where he can lowkey warn people about death eaters so when they show up eventually people run or attack them on sight.
people love to shit on the failings of a classic protagonist in favor of more interesting side characters but what appeals to me about a harry potter is that he’s a huge bitch
i will die on the hill that tom riddle and harry potter have a maaaaaaajor height difference
😂
6'6" Voldemort pissing a 5'6" harry off simply because of all the looming he does, so harry ends up sitting on Ron's shoulders everytime he is in the presence of the dark lord. it always takes an awkward amount of time to get up there but it's worth it to be taller than the guy and prevent him from looming so much
Oho, my, my... It would appear that I've upset some people tonight. Oho, how delightful.
Truth tends to do that, I've found.
My intent with my new JKR's writing analysis series is to help others improve their writing. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not a series where I'm trying to bitch about anything. I'm just obsessed with writing. I love helping other writers become better and stronger.
I don't actually care about JKR.
We can always dissect other authors after I'm through with her.
As a teenager decades ago, I used to idolize her and her writing. However, I learned that when I copied her, it weakened my writing. I quickly outgrew her.
I wish to prevent this mistake for others. My desire is to help young aspiring writers to critically analyze JKR's writing (and potentially other authors) without putting this woman on a pedestal.
After all, we don't need the canon texts anymore. Fanfiction writers as a whole have so greatly surpassed her on a glorious scale. The writing skills of fanfiction writers far exceed JKR. If this idea and concept triggers you and makes you angry, then you might want to take a step back and self reflect on that personal issue.
And if you still have a problem, then this writing series is obviously not for you.
That's okay.
If I'm the only brave person around here to dissect J.K. Rowling's writing and reveal its true nature, then so be it.
Class is in session. See yall next week for Part Two.
Uh oh...
