Things Worth Dying For

Contrary to popular belief, I love drawing characters I don't usually draw. I just never remember to draw them. Thank Caesar Salad for reminding me and planting this image in my head.

Anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve. 

He doesn’t know what he’s doing, does he? None of us do.

“Nah, she didn’t,”

 "Don’t let it worry you,” said Ron. “It’s me. I’m extremely famous.”

[ RECAST THE DREAMCAST ] Chris Fleicher as James Potter James Potter was a paradox spinning out of control, a maddening mixture of fire and ice, passionate and vulnerable and detached. Yes, he was one of those boys who unwittingly broke hearts on a daily basis and seemed like a dream, unreal and untouchable. He was the reckless sort, the sort who lived on the brutal edge and played with forest fires. (x)

this means so much to me. so much

Harry, though. Harry has money; Harry has new things. What Harry does not have is family. Harry is an orphan. Other than one photo album and the invisibility cloak, he doesn’t have anything that came with family history attached. What Molly does here is give him that; she makes him part of the family, symbolically, by giving him an emotionally significant if physically imperfect item. She gives him love in a tangible form.

If the city of Venice seems a confounding maze of canals and narrow alleyways, then the Venetian Academy for the Magically Gifted can only be described as a dangerous labyrinth of corridors, many in various stages of submerge. Wild magical marine animals inhabit abandoned hallways, and the sound of rushing water echoes in empty classrooms at night. The school is housed mostly underwater in sunken parts of the city that linger undetected below Venice with a few buildings scattered throughout the island. In the years when Venice flourished with prosperity, the magic and non-magic folk mingled with affection, particularly during the Carnival of Venice during which muggle folk would be quite taken with the charmed flourishes decorating witches and wizards’ masks. As a result of these close interactions, most inhabitants of Venice harbour faint traces of magic in their blood, most of whose power—however little and insignificant—manifest in one’s elder years, or sometimes not at all. Although, there are often whisperings that tell of Venetians’ strange ability to walk on water. Some swear to have heard the sound of pattering footsteps on the canals, usually at night time on days when the fog is particularly heavy. Other claim of shapes of men and women passing over the water. No one knows, except for the inhabitants themselves.
