????????
AND THEN THERE’S THIS HOT MESS IN THIS PERSON’S COPY OF THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN ILLUSTRATED VERSION (ALSO APPROVED):
WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE, WOMAN!?
THERES A QUESTION ON THE OWL EXAM ASKING TO IDENTIFY A WEREWOLF! OBVIOUSLY THIS THING STICKS OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB! IF THERE WAS A PACK OF WOLVES AND THEN THIS THING AND I WAS ASKED TO IDENTIFY WHICH WAS THE WEREWOLF, I DONT THINK ID BE SITTING THERE “uhhhh geeeeee I don’t know…” LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS THING?! IT LOOKS LIKE A MUTATED HAIRLESS CHIHUAHUA! I HAVE A CHIHUAHUA AND IF I SHAVED HER SHE’D LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS! WHO MADE THIS!? WHO SAID “YES, WEREWOLF, OKAY!”!?!
When the marauders are discussing their OWL exams and the question about werewolves, Peter mentions the rounded snout and tuft tail. This leads me to believe that a werewolf should look, to the untrained eye, LIKE A NORMAL (but maybe larger) WOLF unless you are able to look at the details like the snout and tail (and if you’ve gotten that close, I must ask…how are you still alive? But I digress…)
BUT THIS!!???!!! THIS HAIRLESS CHIHUAHUA FERRET LOOKING THING THATS BEEN STRETCHED IN WILLY WONKA’S TAFFEE PULLER!?! THIS IS NOT A WEREWOLF!!!
Im sorry this has been on my nerves for 14 years o_o
all right. so. this is a Harry Potter AU, in rambly and abbreviated form.
this is a version of events where, on the morning of November 1st, 1981, the police are called to a house in Surrey.
when they arrive, a large man with a red face and a moustache is waiting for them, brandishing a baby.
to be more accurate: he is brandishing a basket. the basket contains a baby.
he tells the police that his wife found the basket on their doorstep that morning. “Gave her the shock of her life,” he says, with a chuckle that does not seem the least bit sincere.
the police officers have a lot of questions about this, but the man does not have any useful answers. his wife, he tells them, is not in any shape to be interviewed. “she’s been poorly,” he says, “and we’ve got a baby of our own to worry about, keeping us up at all hours.”
the baby in the basket seems to be about a year old. he is cheerful, seems healthy aside from a cut on his forehead, with a crooked sticking plaster on it. he has startlingly green eyes.
there is no identifying information in the basket, except for a torn scrap of paper with ‘his name is Harry’ on it in a delicate hand.
there it nothing else to be done, it seems. the officers take baby Harry, and leave.
one of them comes back a few days later for a follow-up interview with the woman who found the baby. she seems a little fragile, and her own baby, in the next room, keeps up a constant shrieking tantrum the whole time the officer is there. “I’m sorry,” the woman says, with a brittle smile. “this has all been a bit much. I recently lost my sister, you see.”
I did a commission lately for a lovely lady who asked for this scene in Harry Potter, where Harry finds a photo of baby him zooming around on a toy broomstick. The picture is drawn as if the photo had never been torn, and all was well.
Funny story, this file got corrupted and I nearly gave up on it because Photoshop flattened all of the layers. There’s little I could do to fix it but then I couldn’t just abandon the work.
So I did my best and it took me a week to figure out a solution. I’m finally satisfied with the end result and it’s all worth it 🙂
