#hogwartsprofessors

Can someone please tell me when, how, and why Slytherins and Hufflepuffs are the best Best Friends of Hogwarts In the HP fandom? I get the whole opposites attract thing and all but like why Slytherin and Hufflepuff? Why not Hufflepuff and Gryffindor? Don’t get me wrong, this is one of my favorite things and I am a Hufflepuff and my friend group consists mainly of Slytherins, probably one Gryffindor and a Ravenclaw. I’m just curious about how it came to be. 

Professor Cornelius H. Pants is a muggle born, as far as he and anyone else knows. His mother died during childbirth, so he doesn’t have much information about her, but his dad is DEFINITELY a muggle. Pants (very few people call him Cornelius, and no one calls him Corny) was raised in the wilds of Montana. His father was a die-hard survivalist, convinced the government was out to get him, and his step mother was an overtly religious woman, dedicated to giving his dad as many kids as she could. By the time he was 11, he had nine younger siblings.

He was taught to hunt, fish, and use weapons ranging from archaic to modern by his father, in order to better defend himself in case of total society upheaval. He was a quiet boy, who did his best to deal with the resentment his step mother had for him, both for being his father’s favorite, and for the love his step siblings gave him as their protector and friend.

When he got his letter to Hogwarts, it was life changing. His step mother declared him to be demon spawn, a devil sent to tempt them into wickedness. His father told him that it was clearly something from his mother’s side of the family, and he had to go explore it… but he was not welcome back.

Pants obtained permission from the headmaster to stay at Hogwarts year round, due to his unique situation. While his years at Hogwarts were the best of his life, they were largely uneventful, as, being a Hufflepuff, he was able to avoid much of the difficulties that surrounded Harry Potter and his friends. And yes, he was the same age as the Boy who Lived, but, that didn’t really factor in.

The one important thing that happened was during fifth year, when an anonymous benefactor owled him a strange amulet. The artifact contained the mental overlay of a wizard who referred to itself as Cornelius’ grandfather, Jack. He has refused to state which side of the family he comes from. Jack has becomes Pants’ constant companion, offering advice, teaching, and sometimes even taking over his body if the need becomes great enough. The amulet itself is enchanted to protect Pants from mental magics, legilimens, obliviate, and the like. The cost for this has been hinted that one day, Cornelius will either join, or replace Jack inside the artifact.

During seventh year, he took charge of the first and second year Hufflepuffs during the battle of Hogwarts. It was exhausting, but he didn’t lose a single one. After the battle, he received a letter from his father, inviting him home.

Where he was committed to an institution, his letters home used by his step mother as evidence of his insanity, this belief in a magical world.

Cornelius spent five years at that mental hospital. He could have gotten free, but one of his fellows was a wizard who went by the name ‘The Dueling Fool.’ They spent time together, teaching and learning, and helped get several other wrongfully imprisoned wizards and witches free. When The Dueling Fool passed, Pants adopted the mask the other wizard used, as well as his title.

I made a tiktok...and I’m gonna make a #hogwartsprofessors oc... Her name is gonna be Professor Sebastra Valmira and She’s gonna teach Muggle Fiction: a study in how the nonmagical look into our world. 

She’s a Ravenclaw, and though she pretends to be above it, she has a thing for Pine even though she knows he only has eyes for Professor Darling. At least she has company in Professor Raine...right?

Uh, yeah...we’ll see if anything comes of it, but my username is Mystic_Scriptures (lol bc what else am I gonna use)

Long Post Warning. So, I haven't been posting a lot on this page in the past few weeks because it's been a very busy time for me. It's been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for me with so much going on. On top of multiple shows, rehearsals, auditions, part-time work and life in general. I decided to download Tiktok.

Upon, joining this app I almost immediately found the Harry Potter fandom community and a couple of other fun tags. So, I have not been idle by any means. Lol! As silly as this app may seem, it is a really interesting way to tell stories and interact with other nerdy people.

So, since I've been posting content from Tiktok. I didn't want to spam everyone with that content. So, I have been posting some of that stuff on my nerdy cosplay Instagram page @thewhimsyblerd Feel free to follow me there if you would like to see those videos.
