Draco Malfoy in uniform
Hermione Granger; portrait.
The Malfoys
canon fact: nobody in gryffindor is able to sit on chairs like a normal person
i find it telling how, despite the fact that slytherins aren’t actually supposed to be universally evil, chamber of secrets ends with harry learning no, he’s not a slytherin, he’s the most gryffindor gryffindor to ever gryffindor
i mean slytherins usually are cunning and most of them are very street-smart, but let’s be real, our boy harry is very (and by that i mean very) oblivious so he would’ve gotten his ass kicked in slytherin lol
are you a ‘hold my beer and watch this’ gryffindor or a 'u wot m8’ gryffindor
a mix between both, but definitely a “hold my beer and watch this” drunk gryffindor, which is...almost half of my life
One time, Gryffindor reached exactly 69 house points, and for two whole weeks they managed not to gain or lose any by being as boring as possible. It was finally broken when Hermione was awarded 10 points for some good Charms homework, and Ron was subtracted 20 for yelling “FUCKS SAKE HERMIONE” in response
right out of a book (2) - draco malfoy x reader
sorry for the huge delay, and thank you so so so much for everyone who liked and reblogged the first chapter and even wanted to be added to the tag list! sending you major love xx
here is chapter 1 for those who haven’t read it or who don’t remember what the hell happened, lol. without further ado, here is chapter 2! although i have to warn you this is the filler, so could be kiiiind of boring. calm before the storm, if you will, hehe
plot: draco malfoy thinks the reader doesn’t know anything about him, and is determined to keep it that way. that might change once she actually learns he is rather similar to a character in the books she’d read...along with the rest of the world. muggle!reader. sulky!draco (although i’m convinced this doesn’t really need an exclamation mark haha). enjoy!
warnings: a few swear words, mentioning of burglary and cheating (not detailed in any way), and amateur writing haha

Draco Malfoy thought Harry Look-at-my-scar-and-how-heroic-I-am Potter was the most annoying person in the whole wide world. He had to admit, you were still not quite on his level, but with your constant ringing-the-bell-all-the-time thing, you were sure as hell giving him a run for his money. But he was used to dealing with annoying people: For starters, even he knew that he found an unhealthy amount of people annoying, and secondly, he was used to dealing with Potter, his idiotic little group, and the pathetic excuse of a school he endured for seven fucking years. So, he thought he could handle a stupid Muggle considering all the things he went through. This was nothing compared to living with a racist psychopath who tried to take over the world. Right?
hey, i just want to write this message to you, because i'm having trouble about motivate myself to lose weight and i feel insecure about my body. i know that if i do right things i'll be able to have the body that i want. can you please write something to motivate? it means a lot to me, and i believe that i will feel better if i read a message from you. ily
Hi there! First of all, personally being mean to myself about the things that I want to change have never worked for me, so I know it‘s easier said than done but you would benefit from it greatly if you saw it as a journey rather than just a goal (so instead of one big success -the type of body you want-, you can get a lot of small victories like a healthy meal, a walk with friends etc)
You weren‘t born with your current body shape, and although some things are genetic and can‘t really change that much; every healthy meal and exercise is a step towards something that you want to achieve. So my advice to you is taking baby steps and you‘ll get there before you know it! Hope it helps, all the love x
it dont even feel like june it dont even feel like any month we just floatin thru time

Tips for Learning a Foreign Language:
Learning Vocabulary:
What vocabulary should I be learning?
- There are hundreds of thousands of words in every language, and the large majority of them won’t be immediately relevant to you when you’re starting out.Typically, the most frequent 3000 words make up 90% of the language that a native speaker uses on any given day. Instead try to learn the most useful words in a language, and then expand outwards from there according to your needs and interests.
- Choose the words you want/need to learn.
- Relate them to what you already know.
- Review them until they’ve reached your long-term memory.
- Record them so learning is never lost.
- Use them in meaningful human conversation and communication.
How should I record the vocabulary?
- Learners need to see and/or hear a new word of phrase 6 to 17 times before they really know a piece of vocabulary.
- Keep a careful record of new vocabulary.
- Record the vocabulary in a way that is helpful to you and will ensure that you will practice the vocabulary, e.g. flashcards.
- Vocabulary should be organised so that words are easier to find, e.g. alphabetically or according to topic.
- Ideally when noting vocabulary you should write down not only the meaning, but the grammatical class, and example in a sentence, and where needed information about structure.
How should I practice using the vocabulary?
- Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check - Use this method for learning and remembering vocabulary. This method is really good for learning spellings.
- Make flashcards. Write the vocabulary on the front with the definition and examples on the back.
- Draw mind maps or make visual representations of the new vocabulary groups.
- Stick labels or post it notes on corresponding objects, e.g when learning kitchen vocabulary you could label items in your house.
How often should I be practising vocabulary?
- A valuable technique is ‘the principle of expanding rehearsal’. This means reviewing vocabulary shortly after first learning them then at increasingly longer intervals.
- Ideally, words should be reviewed:
- 5-10 minutes later
- 24 hours later
- One week later
- 1-2 months later
- 6 months later
Knowing a vocabulary item well enough to use it productively means knowing:
- Its written and spoken forms (spelling and pronunciation).
- Its grammatical category and other grammatical information
- Related words and word families, e.g. adjective, adverb, verb, noun.
- Common collocations (Words that often come before or after it).
Receptive Skills: Listening and Reading
- Reading is probably one of the most effective ways of building vocabulary knowledge.
- Listening is also important because it occupies a big chunk of the time we spend communicating.
Tips for reading in a foreign language:
- Start basic and small. Children’s books are great practice for beginners. Don’t try to dive into a novel or newspaper too early, since it can be discouraging and time consuming if you have to look up every other word.
- Read things you’ve already read in your native language. The fact that you at least know the gist of the story will help you to pick up context clues, learn new vocabulary and grammatical constructions.
- Read books with their accompanying audio books. Reading a book while listening to the accompanying audio will improve your “ear training”. It will also help you to learn the pronunciation of words.
Tips for listening in a foreign language:
- Watch films in your target language.
- Read a book while also listening along to the audio book version.
- Listen to the radio in your target language.
- Watch videos online in your target language.
Activities to do to show that you’ve understood what you’ve been listening to:
- Try drawing a picture of what was said.
- Ask yourself some questions about it and try to answer them.
- Provide a summary of what was said.
- Suggest what might come next in the “story.”
- Translate what was said into another language.
- “Talk back” to the speaker to engage in imaginary conversation.
Productive Skills: Speaking and Writing
Tips for speaking in a foreign language:
- If you can, try to speak the language every day either out loud to yourself or chat to another native speaker whether it is a colleague, a friend, a tutor or a language exchange partner.
- Write a list of topics and think about what you could say about each one. First you could write out your thoughts and then read them out loud. Look up the words you don’t know. You could also come up with questions at the end to ask someone else.
- A really good way to improve your own speaking is to listen to how native speakers talk and imitate their accent, their rhythm of speech and tone of voice. Watch how their lips move and pay attention to the stressed sounds. You could watch interviews on YouTube or online news websites and pause every so often to copy what you have just heard. You could even sing along to songs sung in the target language.
- Walk around the house and describe what you say. Say what you like or dislike about the room or the furniture or the decor. Talk about what you want to change.This gets you to practise every day vocabulary.
Tips for writing in a foreign language:
- Practice writing in your target language. Keep it simple to start with. Beginner vocabulary and grammar concepts are generally very descriptive and concrete.
- Practice writing by hand. Here are some things you can write out by hand:
- Diary entries
- Shopping lists
- Reminders
What could I write about?
- Write about your day, an interesting event, how you’re feeling, or what you’re thinking.
- Make up a conversation between two people.
- Write a letter to a friend, yourself, or a celebrity. You don’t need to send it; just writing it will be helpful.
- Translate a text you’ve written in your native language into your foreign language.
- Write a review or a book you’ve recently read or a film you’ve recently watched.
- Write Facebook statuses, Tweets or Tumblr posts (whether you post them or not will be up to you).
- Write a short story or poem.
Writing is one of the hardest things to do well as a non-native speaker of a language, because there’s no room to hide.
There are lots of ways to improve your writing ability, but they can be essentially boiled down to three key components:
- Read a lot
- Write a lot
- Get your writing corrected

After the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy could safely say that he could believe whatever was thrown in his face. All sorts of plot twists, espionages, even the weirdest conspiracies (he had once read that Harry Potter was actually an alien and was here to report all the secrets of Wizarding World to the fellow members of his species – and he thought that it would certainly explain his lack of brains). But if someone had come along and told him that he would have to live in Muggle London for Merlin knows how long, he would’ve told that person that they were absolutely bonkers.
Alas, that was exactly where he found himself.
good things will happen 🧿
things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿
