I Don't Understand That Reference

DESTIEL IS MY OTP

can we just talk about the time that Lupin was recovering from a full moon and Snape taught the DADA class and made all the students write essays on how to kill werewolves for Lupin to read when he got back I hate Snape so much it’s not funny

Lupin gets back and he feels like crap and suddenly his best friend’s son is writing an essay about how to kill him like that is so fucked up

Bear in mind that an ex-Death Eater does this to someone who was in the Order, risked his life fighting against said Death Eaters and lost his best friends to the Death Eater’s genocidal leader, for the sole purpose of screwing him over, and as far as we know he experiences no consequences whatsoever for doing so.

And if that wasn’t enough, he made them write those essays hoping some of them would realize Lupin’s a werewolf. And one did, but Hermione is a fucking DECENT HUMAN BEING and said nothing. Apparently the ‘insufferable know-it-all' can keep her mouth closed, when it’s for something important. Just like Snape didn’t do at the end of the book.

I’m getting mad, so here’s something I’ve realized while reading The Order of the Phoenix again. (Please keep in mind that my books are in Italian and some concepts might be hard to explain, I apologize for my English mistakes)

In chapter 14, when The Trio talked with Sirius, he said that two years before Dolores Umbridge had written a law against werewolves that made it almost impossible for Lupin to find a job.

Now ask yourself this question. Why two years?

What had happened two years before? During Harry’s third year? Oh, right. The Magical World had discovered that one of Hogwarts’ teachers (someone who was in constant conctat with their children) was a werewolf. Does that ring any bell?

But that’s not all! If we take a look at chapter 15, in the Daily Prophet article we can see a familiar name: Remus Lupin. In a newspaper. Where everyone can read it. “The werewolf Remus Lupin”. No wonder he couldn’t find a job! And it’s not the first time the Daily Prophet has written about him, as it’s stated in the article itself. There must have been a huge scandal when it had all come out.

So basically, when Snape decided he couldn’t bear not having what he wanted (for example, SIRIUS BLACK GETTING KISSED BY A DEMENTOR) and spilled the secret, he didn’t only tell the whole school. He didn’t only tell the kids’ parents. The told the whole Magical World.

He told the whole Magical World that a man who had kept his condition secret all his life was a werewolf.

And the Magical World responded with a law against werewolves.

So, basically, Snape didn’t only ruin Remus Lupin’s life. He ruined the life of every single werewolf in the UK.

But, you know. Bravest man I ever knew.

FUCKING HIT THAT REBLOG SO FAST THANK YOU

I know I have friends who like Snape and you’re all entitled to your opinion, but I can’t see it.  I fucking HATE Snape.  Snape was the damn monster, not Lupin.  Don’t get me started on the myriad other reasons I can’t stand the bastard.

AAAAALLLLLWWWWAAAAYYYYSSSS REEEEEEEBLOOOOGGGG

Reblog if

You want an ao3 app You think ao3 should do suggestions - after you finish a fic it gives you a list of things like it etc You’re trash

Severus Snape: Sorry I called my best friend a racial slur, joined a terrorist group and emotionally abused a bunch of children for years. I had a Bad Childhood. My home life was subpar, the popular kids picked on me because I had a creepy obsession with dark arts and with finding out their friend's secret and then the girl of my dreams friend-zoned me. So it's really not my fault!
Sirius Black:...funny, I was raised by emotionally constipated and abusive blood supremacists who made it very clear that they preferred my younger brother. I ran away at 16 to live with my best friend who's family adopted me only to have them die of a terrible sickness. by the time I graduated school I had joined an underground group to fight in a war I was too young to even clearly grasp as I was out fighting and killing masked terrorist that were most likely my blood relatives. Everything around me fell apart, my best friend and his wife and kid were targeted by Wizard Hitler another friend betrayed them and framed me and at 22 years old I went to prison for twelve years for a crime I didn't commit. I escaped, was about to catch the man who had ruined all of our lives and SOMEONE burst in and made a bigger deal out of wanting to turn me in because of something I did at 16 than helping us catch the actual culprit. Then I got stuck back in the house I had run away from when I was sixteen that held so many bad memories for me where SOMEONE yet again took every opportunity they got to tell me exactly how worthless I was to the cause...yet I still didn't live my life acting like the world owes me some huge apology.
Remus Lupin: when I was four years old my father insulted a powerful werewolf who then snuck into my bedroom while I was asleep and attacked me, turning me into a monster for the rest of my life. I grew up ostracized from any children my age and suffered horrible, painful transformations alone until I was allowed to go to school and my three friends figured out a way to help me. The ministry regulates werewolves so it's very difficult to find work and by the time I was 21, the only people who made any of t easier were dead or locked up. I finally got a decent job after years of struggling and SOME JEALOUS ASSHAT WITH A GRUDGE decided to tell the entire school about my secret, forcing me to leave. I finally got my best friend back and he died. I'd have probably had many opportunities to do something like join a group of dark wizards or taken my anger out on a bunch of 12 year olds but...I didn't.
Harry Fucking Potter: My parents were murdered right in front of me when I was an infant. My legal guardian was thrown in prison for betraying them even though he didn't and I was forced to live with my Aunt and Uncle and Cousin, all of whom treated me poorly and had me live in a cupboard for fuck sake. Then I learned I was a wizard, went to school and everything was great accept for this annoyingly over grown bat of a professor who seemed bent on making my life hell for the simple reason that I looked like my father, the man his School-Yard Crush chose instead of him. I was nearly killed at least 6 times, witnessed countless friends get murdered and was possessed by the dark lord himself. I still didn't hold then world's longest grudge.
Snape:...
Harry:...
Remus:...
Sirius:...
Snape: Okay, but like...Potter pulled my pants off in front of a bunch of people.
Sirius: you attacked him with a potentially lethal spell that YOU created with your dark arts obsession and you're upset that a 15 year old boy pantsed you?
Severus: Lily Evans didn't love me!
Remus: you called her a racial slur!
Snape: you all called me names! You were bullies!
Harry: Bullies? You threatened to kill a 13 year student's pet right in the middle of class.
Snape: *scoffs* Longbottom needed to learn to properly brew his potion. He should be more careful.
Remus: you tortured that boy so much you became his biggest fear. His Boggart became you.
Severus: If Voldemort had chosen Longbottom over Potter than Lily would be alive!
Sirius: yes. Alive and married to James Potter. And Lily can't be the reason behind every shitty thing you've done!
Harry: What about Hermione? You were relentless with her!
Snape: too smart for her own good. LIKE LILYYY!!!!!
Harry: And Ron?
Snape: red. hair. like. Lily.
Remus: destroying my career when I've done nothing personally to you whatsoever?
Snape:...
Remus:...
Sirius:...
Harry:...
Snape: I'm just a shitty person, alright? I have no excuse. I just don't like you, Lupin.

I find the Marauders Era fascinating. We know very little about it, but we do know James and Lily defied Voldemort THREE TIMES; the Marauders became illegal animagi just for Remus. Jily’s love story was probably one for the ages. Each one of them (plus Snape and Regulus) would’ve had amazing character arcs. I wanted a series or at least a book about this era because I believe they would’ve been just as amazing as the HP series, but after Cursed Child…I’m not sure I want it anymore.

I really liked fantastic beasts and where to find them, but everyone keeps going on about Newt and Tina. To me they no chemistry as a couple. Very good friends? Absolutely. A couple? Not so much. (On the other hand, Jacob and Queenie are chock full of adorableness!)

The next story arc of Supernatural will be Dean and Sam discovering [pulls paper from hat] the Garden of Eden but it’s guarded by God’s [spins wheel] former pet dragon and Cas has to leave because of [throws dart] an angelic plague
