A winter-themed commission to also celebrate my move to Sweden. It's starting to get cold up here!
@nigamiart did this wonderful work, and even after all these years they never EVER disappoint, one of the loveliest people to ever commission art from, and just a joyful person <3
honourable mention to the edit where they’re dancing to Shake It by Metrostation. a stroke of true artistic genius, absolutely inspired, i think about it Every Single Day
"You wanted to see me, Professor?"
"Yes, Harry. As Head of Gryffindor House I'm responsible for addressing your latest...activities."
"You mean Dumbledore's Army, Professor?"
"Quite right, boy. Quite right."
"...I suppose punishment is going to be worse than a bit of detention, innit."
"D-Detention? Mr. Potter you think I summoned you because you're in trouble?"
"Didn't you, Professor McGonagall?"
"Potter...Harry. You started a paramilitary organization. I couldn't be more proud of you. I'm awarding 500 points to Gryffindor for esprit de corps, and you are getting extra lessons!"
"500 points to Gryffindor sounds fantastic. That's really great, Professor...but extra lessons still sounds like punishment."
"Mr. Potter, by the time I was your age I had already started three different paramilitaries and overthrown two dictatorships and minor principality. "
"Professor that's--"
"Don't interrupt, boy, this is important. I know you had dreams of becoming an Auror, but after discussing it with Dumbledore we have decided you shall follow me into Spec Ops, and I won't be entertaining any objects. Now, do you remember Igor Karkaroff? Head of Durmstrang Institute, talks like a cheap Bond villain. You briefly encountered him during the Tri-Wizard tournament."
"Yes, Professor. I remember him. Seemed a bit of a right git if you ask me."
"Too right. Well it seems he's become something of a dictator, oppressing the local population and the like. The worst sort horror stories are coming in on the wire."
"And we're going to do something about it? You want me to do something about it?"
"Operation Tyranus Deletus has already begun. Your Weasley friends, Fred and George, have been running arms and supplies to the local Mugglehideen for the past two months. We are going to slip in and teach them how to fight a guerrilla war."
"Bloody brilliant."
