Remember them all. ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

My first post was literally a shoutout to @hogwartshousefriends for inspiring me to make this account. And I’m still grateful- I wouldn’t own this blog today if it weren’t for them!

My first post that got “big”, with 1,773 notes today, was a silly chat with the houses about fanfiction. I remember the excitement I felt when I first started getting notes. People were looking at my stuff! Even just a few!

There are a LOT more followers now than there was than I first started (over 3000!!!) and I’m so grateful that I’m still here. Thanks, guys. You all make Tumblr a bit better.

I would like to apologize for not posting quite as much as when I first started… I get busy, and sometimes even forget I didn’t post already. But let me make it up to you all!

I will be doing a giveaway of two wands! One will be custom, and the other will be pre made (though both will be handmade by me). However, I won’t be choosing.

This is a contest!! To enter, you must…

Be following me

Give a shoutout/compliment to someone in your entry

Comment on THIS POST “done” and only comment ONCE. If you comment multiple times you will be disqualified.

And… That’s it! The deadline for this contest will be on November 30th (though if this fills up very fast I may change it)

To calculate who wins and make it truly random, I’ll be inputting the number of comments into a number generator, then clicking the button three times for each winner. The final numbers will be the comments that win!

If you aren’t following me, I’m sorry to say that you won’t be winning. This is a contest for my followers after all! Though I will always welcome new ones! :)

If you win, I’ll be messaging you right here on Tumblr!

Once the message is sent, you will have four (4) days to respond until I pick another winner. Even if you would like to discuss how the wand gets to you elsewhere, you’ll have to reply initially on Tumblr.

…

Thank you all for this time so far on Tumblr. I’m sure the future will be a blast!

it is of course possible that Draco would have gotten the Death Eaters into the school some other way if the Vanishing Cabinet hadn’t created the perfect opportunity, but it wasn’t looking likely.

so like, it’s reasonable enough to assume that Dumbledore’s death (at the hands of Snape specifically, obviously I know he was going to die soon enough from the curse, but the timing does make a difference so I’m still focused on this) occurred because of the Death Eaters getting into the school. the reason the Death Eaters were able to get into the school was because of the Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement, which Draco repaired.

the Vanishing Cabinet ended up in the Room of Requirement over the summer of 1996, presumably (reasoning for this is in the next paragraph), and Draco discovered it there sometime in his 6th year. but the only reason he had even known what it was, and what it could do, was because he had spoken with….

Graham Montague, a Slytherin who was in 7th year in 1995-1996 (when Harry & co were in 5th year). Montague was shoved into the Vanishing Cabinet in that year by Fred and George Weasley, because he was a part of the Inquisitorial Squad and was presumably about to take points from the Weasley twins for doing something disruptive. and we know that Montague got stuck in a limbo between the two connected cabinets, due to one of them being broken - he could hear things being discussed in Borgin & Burkes, which is how he was able to let Malfoy know that the other “end of the tunnel”, or basically the other cabinet, was in Borgin & Burkes (which, Draco would already have seen as a 12-year-old, in the summer before his 2nd year, when he visited the shop with his father - fun fact, Harry hid in that exact cabinet while Lucius Malfoy was transacting with Borgin).

Montague would never have had this experience at all if the cabinet hadn’t been broken in the first place. but in fact, we know exactly how, when, why, and by whom the cabinet was broken.

it was in the fall of 1992, when Nearly Headless Nick observed that Harry had gotten in trouble with Filch, and prompted Peeves to drop that very same cabinet from a large height in order to cause a distraction for Filch, allowing Harry to get out of trouble.

why was Harry in trouble in the first place? because he was “tracking mud” in the corridors.

why was he tracking mud in the corridors? because Oliver Wood had had him out on the Quidditch pitch all day even though it had been literally storming outside. so Harry came into the castle drenched and splattered with mud.

Dumbledore literally died because of how obsessed Oliver Wood was with winning the Quidditch Cup.

to clarify:

the bits about the Vanishing Cabinet being the only real way he had to get the Death Eaters in, having heard about it from Montague and how that made him realize he could use them as a passage, etc - that was all clearly laid out in HBP, chapter 27 (The Lightning-Struck Tower).

Montague being shoved into the cabinet takes place in OOTP, chapter 28 (Snape’s Worst Memory).

Draco seeing the cabinet and Harry being in the cabinet is all in CoS, chapter 4 (At Flourish and Blotts).

and the entire situation with the Quidditch practice and the mud and Harry getting in trouble and Nick getting Peeves to drop the cabinet is in CoS, chapter 8 (The Deathday Party).

Voldemort died because Harry was the master of the Elder Wand that Voldemort was trying to use.

Why was Harry the master? Because he overpowered its previous master, Draco, and won its allegiance.

Why was Draco master of the Elder Wand? Because he disarmed Dumbledore in the precise sequence being discussed, which relied on the vanishing cabinet.

Thanks for the tag @sparklyslytherin this was so much fun!!!

my camera roll is entirely photography, but i think i captured my aesthetic, at the very least, although it’s fairly hozier.

My gay yellow ass

Fucking messy 😅😅😅

I literally have no clue what’s happening here and it’s all over the place but also look at the sneks
