Three cheers for Harry J. Potter, everybody !

when Harry first comes to Spinner’s End, he curls up as tight as he can on his bed. He’s used to having to squeeze into a tiny cupboard or protect himself even while asleep.

as the weeks go on, Harry uncurls just a little bit more. Each time Snape proves to him that he is safe.

by the end of the summer, he starfishes across his bed, blankets thrown around and messy, showing that he’s never been more comfortable in his life

I think about that a lot, but I haven’t the art skills to draw it

What do you think?

You may crucify me for not drawing this until now

Except it’s just Dogwood Harry who’d glue himself to Snape’s side if that were possible

snape angst pls pls pls

I can’t decide if werewolves should keep their human form eye colour while transformed or have their eyes go yellow, like a wolf’s…

Some more info I might draw out eventually or leave here:

Werewolves are very familial creatures, and those who spend full moons alone without others of their kind have increased risk for depression, anxiety, and social anxiety. Even having the clothing of a loved one with a werewolf on the full moon can reduce their aggression and distress hugely.

Young werewolves especially need the closeness of a family member, and if they have no biological relatives, they are quick to turn to another trusted person to be their source of support through full moons, viewing them as a parental figure. (Imprinting)

I imagine Lupin had a sweater from his parents to cuddle with in the shrieking shack during full moons, before his friends became Animagi to help him.

Werewolves don’t always seek out people to attack/kill; depending on the personality and temperament of their human form, some are more skittish or simply hungry and prefer to hunting animals for food during full moons. All werewolves have a natural fear and distrust of magic while transformed, so often an attack can be fended off just by sending a few flashing lights and burning hexes at the werewolf to send them running off

MUAHAHHAA (I’m flattered to hear I’ve written anything tear jerking)

Now would you like to see the Dogwood Snape angst I just finished cooking up

Being a half vamp, Snape doesn’t have to drink blood very often and can do without it for a while, but the longer he goes without the thirstier he gets .

He hates the blood thirst because it’s so primal, a pain to control by the end, and he can’t stand not being in control. So he’s scared of giving in and attacking Harry because he doesn’t want to hurt a kid, he’s ashamed of needing to drink blood, and it’d be proof that he’s weak and impulsive, what he spent years training in the mental arts not to be.

When/if Harry finds out that Snape gets bloodthirsty more easily when Harry is really close to him, Harry would def try to offer his own blood so there’s no reason for Snape to worry and be seperate from him if Harry just gives it freely, but Snape is too disgusted by himself to accept.

I like this idea a lot; previously Dogwood AU is mostly Harry oriented with his being a werewolf as the focus, and Snape’s being a half vampire is hardly relevant other than him not being transformed if Harry were to bite him. So this gives half vampire Snape some more development and complexity!

ALSO I wanna do a reverse Dogwood AU where Harry is bloodthirsty and needs to feed but is too scared of bleeding Snape to death.

Meanwhile Snape is like “it takes a loss of roughly half a gallon or 8 cups or 2 litres of blood for an average adult human to die of blood loss. An adult human’s stomach capacity is 8 cups. You are 12 years old. I’ll be fine”
