Jon Snow has lived all his life thinking his father cheated on his wife, only to discover with parentage reveal that his dad cheated on his wife.

Poor guy.

burned my fingers breaking toast for the birds this morning and i would do it again. i would set myself on fire to keep them warm if asked.

I want to see a fic wherein Harry’s animagus form is a basilisk. No, not that basilisk. I mean this thing:

Basiliscus basiliscus, the common basilisk. Also known as the Jesus Christ lizard for its ability to run across water. 

I mean, think about it. It’s essentially just a normal, mostly overlooked animal, except for this one quality that causes it to be named a “saviour”. The irony would be delicious.

Also, imagine if/when Harry has to talk about it in public:

“My animagus form is a basilisk –” Screams, accusations, and shouted questions drowned out whatever Harry might have said next. He grit his teeth and closed his eyes, resigned to the uproar. 

Hermione waved her wand and cast calming and silencing charms. Ron rolled his eyes and just let off several loud firecrackers. Slowly, the panic subsided and the hall was quiet once more.

“Thank you,” Harry said dryly to his friends. He turned back to the audience. “My animagus form is a basilisk,” he repeated. “No, not the gigantic snake with the deadly and/or petrifying eyes and potent venom that I stabbed in my second year. It’s a lizard. A tiny lizard with a long tail that lives in the rainforest and can run really fast …”

[a few hours later]

“Honestly,” Hermione sighed. “You’d think they’d remember that animagus forms can’t be magical creatures.”

“Yeah, but he’s Harry Potter,” Ron put in, grinning. “Even if they knew that beforehand, they’ll make an exception for the Chosen One.”

Harry groaned and dropped his head on the table. “I hate you both.”

crows have been documented holding ‘funerals’ for many years. however, researchers suggest that they may not be mourning; evidence indicates that crows may be examining the body & surrounding area for potential threats to the rest of the flock.

I've been bursting to show you all this model! This is my very first dragon design to actually make it from drawing board to brick! And I'm so happy he was ready in time for the year of the dragon!

He's part of a set of models I've been working on this past year themed around fairy tales. I'll post about some of those soon!

Please excuse my arm in the last photo. It does show how big he is though!
