Yeah men being down bad is great and all, but I want to see a woman whose down bad. And I want her to know it. I want her to be an awkward mess around him, even though she's not one to get awkward.
Voice falters when he enters the room she's in, nervous when he tries to talk to her as she tries to sound casual, the moment he leaves she buries her head in her hands and groans. Maybe even asks Cupid what kind of godforsaken arrow he shot her with. I want her to be very confused, not about why she's fallen in love with him, but about how badly she's fallen for him.

It's 100 GB, but you can pick which zips to download. Godsend to people like me, who try to help others find lost fics. The fact I'm waiting on a 90 GB torrent full of fanfic is wild to me though lmao
1. You can't make me believe that after the war Draco made his hair grow like his father when it's literally the only thing that differences them.
2. He paid an INSANE amount of galleons to find experts all across the world to help Astoria with her curse
3. There are at least a statue in the manor's gardens and a moving portrait of Astoria around after her death- Draco wanted the portrait in his personal office but Astoria, in the painting, scolds him to put her were Scorpius can see her too
4. SCORPIUS BECOMES A RESEARCHER FOR MAGICAL DISEASES AND BLOOD CURSES AFTER HIS MOTHER'S DEATH
5. Whoever you ship Scorpius with (I like Scorose but Scorbus is more than okay too) Draco is absolutely the most mature about it and invites the his son's love interest over for dinner with the respective families.
6. HE TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN SHOWING AROUND RON AND HERMIONE (OR HARRY AND GINNY) TO SHOW THEM THE MANOR IS NOT AS UNWELCOMING AND DARK AS IT WAS WHEN THEY SAW IT DURING THE WAR
7. Scorpius was sat down by Draco the moment he judged him mature enough to understand and told him EVERYTHING about the war and what he did
8. Scorpius is the best pureblood little shit with impeccable manners and was taught everything about proper etiquette, and has his parent's ability to give the best roasts. He could make a first year cry, but HE IS THW CRYING FIRST YEAR most of the time. He knows how to stand his ground and can be really sharp but doesn't do that on purpose.
9. Bookworm: growing up in the manor reading was his favourite hobby and he's incredibly book smart (more than any kind of smart- he studies quidditch strategies instead of playing it)
10. Draco's dream was to be a quidditch player and it was HEARTBREAKING for him to learn that Scorpius wasn't applying for the Slytherin team

Fanfiction.net is killing me, so everything's porting to AO3 – please follow and comment there instead if you're so inclined. To be frank we're getting the a spicier era of this fic anyway so this change was probably a long time due. My other stories will likely also be ported to AO3 sooner than later.
A Bouquet of Scandals: AO3
(updated with Chapter 48 - The Fallout)
Thank you so much for the comments and encouragement bursting in my inbox. Honestly I sometimes feel I am the only one thinking about this story over the years, but it's so lovely to hear from those of you who have followed A Bouquet of Scandals for a decade. Dear lord, that's truly something.
Very sorry for disappearing so long - I think I just had so many other things happening in my career and life that it made it hard to focus on writing in general.
What's coming for ABoS (spoilers, if you will...)
Spicy era, like I said.
The amount of asks and reviews I have about Poppy and Albus is honestly astonishing. Yes they will continue to be important to the story. What about them resonates with you?
New characters, yes.
Post-Hogwarts happening, also yes.
Not ending anytime soon, no. There's just a lot in store for Scorpius and Rose and I'm just so excited to write all of it.
Thanks for sticking by me! I appreciate you all so much.
Hi I don’t know much about the next gen can u explain them a little bit in detail?? If you wanna 🫶 I’m kinda curious now
Of course! These guys are my blorbos and shaylas (yes all of them)!!
Under a cut because this post got kind of long.
Basically, I would say the Next Gen/Cursed Era includes HPMA, some people choose to believe it doesn't, but since the HPMA main cast are either a year above or the same age as Teddy Lupin, I think it's only fair to include them. Abigail Grey, a HPMA background character, apparently even mentions wanting to be Teddy's friend. However, we kind of have to pull from all over the place, so some of these characters are from HPWU, FBCWW, DPNL and various other miscellaneous sources, including names that only appear in the damn themepark.
They're all really spread out though, and obviously a lot of them are related (Wotter's plus Scorpius has like three cousins). HPNG fans don't actually all necessarily take HPCC as gospel since the script has changed a few times, but HPCC is more of a basis for the kind of theming these characters have and also provides some other characters we can use, as well as canon characterisations.
It'll be a bit difficult to give a full explanation of every character, especially since they're pulled from so many random sources with different storylines, but the general theme of pretty much every established storyline is generational trauma, a general "I'm not my parents/namesakes vibe" and the impacts of authorities corrupting power (Harry, Hermione, Gareth and Grim all canonically do feel how power can corrupt people, although Harry and Hermione do at least eventually learn and acknowledge that while Gareth and Grim do not). Like, people generally agree that James Sirius Potter is a classic case of oldest sibling who is desperately trying to keep his little brother and sister out of trouble. Lily and Hugo are actually generally regarded as the troublemakers of this gen while James S and Fred II are quite often thought of as more nerdy.
The easiest way I can explain it's appeal is by comparing it to the other gens.
Knights of Walpurgis Era: You know how it ends, but you get to decide the beginning and middle.
Marauders Era: You know how it starts and how it ends, but you get to decide what changed.
Golden Trio Era: You get the full story, but you get to decide what makes that story important.
Cursed Era: You get the beginning and parts of the middle, and you get to decide how they move on from there.
I'll give you my list of characters, but it's actually not super exhaustive, the themepark names are mostly painfully generic so I only took the ones I liked (there's a dude named Christian Williams or some shit, like that's how basic they are), and I'll list their parents, if they have named parents, beside them. You can look at the fandom wiki so if anyone intrigues you, so you can see what the canon storyline is, but also you can probably just scroll through the #hp next gen tag and find a lot of stuff (recently it is mostly me, because the subfandom shrunk, but there's other people in there. Do watch out for people tagging random Dramione, Jegulus and Wolfstar posts with Scorpius Malfoy, Scorbus and Teddy Lupin though, it was a MASSIVE problem a few years ago and I blocked so many people I don't actually know how big of a problem it still is). I've got them in my age order, but there is some variation across the fandom. Skull next to a dead parent BTW.
Only including canon characters, characters we know exist but have no names (I think you can relate to that) or popular fanon characters that were created since we have such a small and wide reaching cast. Also going to include links for characters that are hard to get information for.
Character List:
Reggie Page -- Squib
Esme Page -- Squib
^ Ages too unclear for me to really have a definitive placement for, Reggie's in prison and Esme is her little brother Daniel's legal guardian, so they're quite a bit older and it's hard to place them. Like how some people would say Bilton Blimes is KOW Era or Marauders Era, and some people would say Felix Rosier is Marauders Era or Golden Trio Era.

These are not fanon characters so to speak, but character archetypes that come up often enough without a decided upon name:
Yann Fredericks’s Two Older Sisters [I use Esther Fredericks (Molly II’s year) and Naomi Fredericks (Lucy’s Year)]
Lily Luna Potter’s Emo Bisexual Slytherin Boyfriend [I use Atlas Gloomy (Lily Luna’s Year), character is less common now that Lilysander is a more popular ship]
Theodore Nott’s Daughter [No consensus on age, blood status or personality, people just kind of agree he has the vibe of a girldad. I use Nora Nott, she ends up in the care of her Aunt once Theo goes to prison]
Very few of them have canon houses. Even the fanon characters aren’t always in the same house.
Official Houses:
Eustace Fawley: Hufflepuff
Coeus Grimshaw: Slytherin
Mabel Gurnhart: Ravenclaw
Liza Loonifellow: Hufflepuff
Wenshi Scrivenshaft: Slytherin
Kevin Farrell: Gryffindor
Colby Frey: Slytherin
Fischer Frey: Slytherin
Abigail Grey: Gryffindor
Robyn Thistlethwaite: Gryffindor
Cassandra Vole: Slytherin
Winifred Warrington: Slytherin
-- (MC, Daniel, Lottie and Ivy are all in the same house)
Hazel Fogg: Slytherin
Lavinia Fortescue: Gryffindor
Teddy Lupin: Hufflepuff
Cara Tomansey: Ravenclaw
Amber Noel: Gryffindor
Sage Kelleen: Gryffindor
Trinity Lynn: Gryffindor
Jada Angela: Gryffindor

Rose Granger-Weasley: Gryffindor
Karl Jenkins: Hufflepuff
Scorpius Malfoy: Slytherin
Albus Severus Potter: Slytherin
Aaron Goyle: Slytherin
Auggie Longbottom: Ravenclaw
Lily Luna Potter: Gryffindor
And literally anyone else could be anything. It’s unlikely any other Wotter’s are in Slytherin due to Albus Severus Potter facing bullying at Hogwarts specifically for being the odd one out, but some people like those headcanons anyway.
Canon Ships:
Kevthistle (Kevin Farrell/Robyn Thistlethwaite)
Tedoire (Teddy Lupin/Victoire Weasley)
Augurlight (Albus Severus Potter/Delphi Riddle) -- has been removed from the script
Scorose (Rose Granger-Weasley/Scorpius Malfoy) -- has been removed from the script
Scorbus/Starlight (Scorpius Malfoy/Albus Severus Potter) -- has been added to the script through heavy implication and actors choosing to play them that way, although they cannot legally full send it
Craipius (Craig Bowker Jr./Scorpius Malfoy) -- allegedly, was apparently removed from the script before it was ever released to the public
Yolly (Polly Chapman/Yann Fredericks) -- allegedly, it’s nowhere in the script and has never been, but actors play them as a couple
Scorpolly (Polly Chapman/Scorpius Malfoy) -- only occurs as a one sided crush in an alternate universe, kind of Dransy-coded
I’m pretty sure you follow me on Pinterest, but just because it's easier to convey character vibes and stuff through images and obviously most of these guys have no canon personalities, I'll link those ones since that might help.

More Rose Weasley Headcanons because I don’t have a life.
When she was a young girl, she picked up a cursed object that caused her to get a massive white streak in her hair. She went through a phase where she was embarrassed about it, but she eventually embraced it as part of who she is.
She did actually compete with Scorpius academically during 1st year, but eventually stopped when she realized that he didn’t care. They became friends soon after.
Rose and Albus were very nearly abducted when they were about 5 years old. The family was on edge for weeks.
Rose began to like Scorpius in their third year when he helped Hugo with a particularly difficult potions assignment while she was at quidditch practice.
She realized she liked Scorpius when she started to miss him during the Christmas holiday that year.
Rose is one of four people to finish all the books in the Hogwarts restricted section.
When James Potter 2 decided he wanted to become an animagus, she first tried to make him do it legally, and when she realized that wasn’t going to happen, she decided to help him do it. He began transforming successfully consistently in his sixth year, and only got busted when he accidentally transformed inside the Potter house (Albus came around the corner to scare him as a joke. He would’ve kept it a secret, but Harry saw everything.)
Her muggle grandparents got Just Dance 2, 3, and 4 on the Wii. She has the Maneater, Rasputin, and California Girls dances committed to memory.
She played Just Dance with Scorpius when she introduced him to her grandparents. He was extremely bad at it but liked spending time with Rose.
She thought she was bad at Wizard chess her whole life, but after going to Hogwarts, she realized she was just playing against Ron Weasley.
She spent so much time at the Potter house when she was a baby/ small child that she began to pick up some of Harry’s mannerisms.
Her parents found out she was a witch when she was three years old. She tripped and levitated all the way down the stairs.
Rose and Hugo went to muggle primary school. Rose hated it so much that one day during kindergarten she levitated herself into a tree and refused to come down.
Rose found out that Scorpius was absolutely smitten with her in first year when she helped him clean his trunk after someone had vandalized it.
