Michael Corner was dumped by Ginny Weasley for being a sore loser and in many instances was straight up rude, and he got tortured by the Carrows for releasing a first year student they had chained up.
Ernie Macmillan was pompous and at times even a little obnoxious, and he stood up and asked if students would be able to stay and fight Voldemort.
Seamus Finnigan sided with the ministry and called one of his closest friends a liar, and he owned up to his mistakes and apologized, and was one of the leaders in the fight against the carrows.
Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown were seen as gossipy, giggly, over emotional school girls, and they fought in the battle of hogwarts.
Cho Chang was often emotional, and was jealous of Harry’s friendship with Hermione, and she fought in the battle of hogwarts.
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were troublemakers at school, and were often seen as immature, and they risked their lives to get information to people during the war and fought in the final battle.
Harry, Hermione, Ron, Neville, Ginny, and Luna also often exhibit immature and sometimes even rude behavior during their school years, and are inarguably six of the bravest most heroic people in the series.
These characters were children. They were teenagers. They were immature, they were petty, at times they were rude. They were over emotional and easily jealous and obnoxious and they all had moments where they were straight up bad people. But that doesn’t change the fact that they were heroes. Teenagers are stupid. These kids were normal teenagers, and they had the same flaws that normal teenagers have, and that shouldn’t overshadow the heroes that they grew into.
NOTE: this post is NOT endorsing or excusing the awful irredeemable behavior of a certain adult character who shall remain nameless. This post is about children who are judged on a few childish actions instead of their bravery and heroism.
“It took me 30 years, but I finally cracked the Eligius Three mission file. Turns out it wasn’t a mining mission. After sucking the Earth dry of oil, they went looking for another planet to tap. I set the coordinates a week ago. If I’m right, you should get there in… 75 years. I’m tempted to put myself in cryo to see it, but without Harper… Anyway, it’s in the Goldilocks zone of a binary star system. But that’s all I know. Eligius Three never radioed back or, if they did, it was after apocalypse one, so, no one heard it. Can you see it? Is it beautiful? It is in my dreams. I hope we do better there. I hope Jasper was wrong and we aren’t the problem. I hope your lives there will be as happy as mine has been. Be the good guys. May we meet again.” - End Book one.

“Uncle Jace” has written no less than four piano lullabies for Rafael.
After they adopted Rafe, Magnus begged Clary for a portrait.
She delivered the finished product the following Christmas, and Alec was misty-eyed and emotional. The portrait is framed and hanging up in their place – the first thing people see when they enter.
Jace gives Rafael piano lessons every other Wednesday afternoon, while Clary and Max use the studio next door to paint and draw and generally make a mess.
Clary always lets Max play with her hair. He’s surprisingly gentle with it, and she finds it super relaxing. When Clary and Jace take the boys to the park, Max will put flowers in her hair.
At the park, Rafe always ropes them into riotous games of Extreme Tag. (Their version of “tag” usually turn into a game of “tackling” when Rafe and Jace are at it.)
(Meanwhile, these Wednesday afternoons for Alec and Magnus mean a continuation of their ongoing Wednesday Strip Poker tournament. They’re always delightfully disheveled when they come to pick up their boys.)
Rafe’s piano lessons with Jace are interspersed with lots of parabatai wisdom and stories of Alec-Jace shenanigans, which Rafael eats up and Alec learns to dread.
“You told him about the Faerie food incident?!” “It’s funny!” “YOU WERE RUNNING AROUND NAKED, JACE!” “I know – Rafe loved that bit.” “YEAH WELL NOW MAX DOES TOO, YOU HORRIBLE UNCLE.”
Max thinks Clary should have a baby because the baby she’d have might be “the opposite of him - not blue, but red, like her hair.”
To which Clary always makes the face :0 and replies gravely, “you’re so right.”
I AM ABSOLUTELY LOSING MY MIND AFTER READING THIS PLEASE READ IT
I barely have followers here, but here we go:
The Amazon Rainforest has been burning for the last 16 days straight. The Brazilian government says the wildfire is caused by the winter itself, since it doesn't rain a lot there... in a rainforest. It is actually, partially true. Winter is indeed a dry season and wildfires may happen, specially close to the Cerrado (a brazilian biome similar to the african Savanna), but what they're not telling us is that:
The deforestation has increased 80% since last year
The native peoples and animals are being slaughtered for their lands (legally protected green areas)
The government is hiding and lying about scientific data, saying that environmentalists and NGOs are communists trying to destroy the nation. They are brainwashing people to think that sustainability is terrible for the economy
Our Minister of Environment is couldn't care less about the environment and is only there to support the livestock producers and give them what they want. The President and his Minister won't put a single dollar on environmental safety
The wildfires are just so huge that its black smoke and ashes reached the skies of São Paulo, a state over 2.000 kilometers away from the Amazon.
I could just keep going all night about how our environment is being threatened by this new government. We need every single help we can possibly can.
Please don't let this go unseen. Search for yourself, talk to people about it, make noise, be angry and be scared. Let the world know about it and demand action. This is not about Brazil, is about the planet. The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most important biomes in the world, being responsible for the climate, rains, biodiversity, carbon sequestration and life itself.
- Scorpius was Lilys very first crush, she gave him up after figuring out that he’s into Albus
- Lily is super empathic but also very manipulative. She can get everyone to do whatever she wants. Most of the time they don’t even notice.
- Lily’s Gryffindor. No one understands it, they suspect that she somehow managed to trick the hat into putting her to Gryffindor
- Lily and James have a bet about who Scorpius will date. Lily says Albus and James thinks it’ll be Rose
- There’s actually a lot betting going on in the Weasley/Potter family. They literally bet about everything. “Which team will win Quidditch game?” “When will Teddy and Victoire finally get together?” “Who gets the next detention?”
- The loser punishment is always the same. They have to be the winners servant for a whole day. Any day.
- They love to win against Teddy, most of the time he has to go to detention for them.
- Everyone quickly learnes that Lily and Rose always win. Well, everyone except James.
- James and Fred (jr.) are in the same year. They’re probably worse than the marauders and the twins together.
- George secretly provides them with whatever they need for pranks, he’s very proud of his son
- Of course Angelina knows what George is doing, but she pretends not to notice
- James and Fred are the masterminds of their pranks but they’re only successful because they have friends or family in every single Hogwarts house who are more than willing to help them execute their plans
Note: English isn’t my first language, I’m sorry for any mistake I made
