Mysterious Fates HCs and Timeline Info!

everything before the battle of hogwarts

mostly just wip ideas that might make it into the actual plot of MF (the alt timelines and aus are mostly that as well, but there’s a reason why they’re all separate; one’s canon while the others are just fun ideas)

knowledge of the hp universe and plot is somewhat required bc this is primarily a Harry Potter fanfic with overlapping universes

(i say somewhat required bc i feel like a large portion of hp’s plot is well known by a lot of people, and seeing that the fic is mostly focused on Subha Patel (the mc of the fic), you just need to know the major plot beats of the series on the whole, but I’m not gonna go into full detail about stuff that’s explained in canon, unless that “stuff” affects the canon world-building of the other series’s canon. Which leads me into my next point…)

prior knowledge of the rest of the fandoms combined in this fic is not required; the reason why is bc a large majority of the worlds i’m joining/meshing together into the hp world all are post canon (alà MDZS, Fairy Tail)

suite life is an au since i can't mesh the canon with the hp universe well enough

cardcaptor sakura's recent sequel series won't be taken into account (save for some characters like Akiho) and ccs's place in MF will be an alt timeline of sorts where the events of Clear Card don't take place (not to be confused w/ the fanfic’s actual alt timeline....click on the alt timeline button on the home page for more info on that)

However, the OG plot for cardcaptor Sakura will run concurrently alongside Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets. I will make this clear in the story and those who are familiar with the anime will be able to tell what events I’ll be referring to when it’s mentioned. everything after CoS is post-canon for Sakura and her crew

ppg's situation: the location of Townsville will be moved from America to Britain to maintain the logic of the plot and this is primarily bc this fanfic started long before jkr came out with Fantastic Beasts (and adding onto this, i really don't care about her canon that's set before or after the initial harry potter series, like at this point i'm making this change for MF's world and plot to sound more coherent. If you know why, you know why.)

(also ppg’s entire position in the fanfic is tenuous at best because of MDZS’ addition to the lineup and could very well be replaced by MDZS like how fairy tail ended up replacing kung fu panda….yeah long story short I was like 14 when I originally came up with this fic series)

scooby-doo has the least amount of changes, but the only iteration of the characters being used are from Mystery Incorporated (that reboot from 2011) but again its like sort of an au for these characters bc a self-contained plot like mystery incorporated can't be weaved into this fanfic as well as i want (i mean i could, but i learned my lesson after scrapping an arc that was supposed to take place post hogwarts; i actually explain about this scrapped arc in detail in that special a/n on wattpad)

(and really only the scooby gang are the main ones and even then, the main focus from the gang is daphne and her family)

I could make Mystery Incorporated’s part in this universe an alternative post canon where the ending of the series was…different from the show. but it’s really something that struck me only recently and explaining why will require heading into spoiler territory for the entire series so don’t judge me, 14 year old me was super uncreative 😂

HTTYD, with the series on the whole now having reached its end, is in a unique position considering its part in this fanfic. As of now, I've decided to not include the third movie to the canon of this fic. However, the ending of the dragons eventually going nearly extinct? That's still gonna be in play, mainly because of Fairy Tail's dragons...you know...dying.

def becoming canon for MF moving forward

diverges during the battle of hogwarts

Sakura Kinomoto and Zack Martin are basically dead (died during said battle)

Main focal relationship: Subha Patel and Shaoran Li

a large portion of their relationship post-war/battle of hogwarts is trying to deal with the deaths of their s/o and the aftermath of the war with the rest of their friends all the while slowly falling in love with each other

lotta angst but it does end on a happy note (that i think deserves it this time around)

you have no idea of the guilt I had when I created this timeline, trust me 😂

but real talk tho, the original ending for MF felt like there were no consequences that left an impact on any of the characters to earn a super happy ending

There were also no long lasting consequences for Subha either, eps for someone who has gone through fucking war along with everyone else. Like Harry lost a lot of people that he cared about over the course of the (canon) series and Ginny and Ron literally lost their older brother during that battle as well. In short, Subha's mental state had to at least reflect the setting she was put into in order for her to be relatable and grounded in that reality

Sakura's development throughout MF kinda reflects this thinking as well bc i feel like even her super friendly and energetic personality has its limits. Also worth noting that the fanfic takes place over the course of the HP series in general; her personality has to also mature with that changing environment

idk it might sound like a cheap shot to kill off Sakura and Zack but when I first created this fanfic i was 16, and bc of that it was mostly just a simple fantasy of mine. Subha as a character wasn't nearly as nuanced as she is now. But as i started to grow up, this entire project started evolving with me somewhat and as a result, the characters and settings were getting more developed, the plot got a major upgrade, Subha herself just....evolved as a character out of nowhere. None of that would've happened if i hadn't created this timeline, now that i think about it.

that being said, killing the both of them off does have a lot of ramifications for the characters going forward into the alt timeline, so hopefully it doesn't feel like its for shock value

this may be canon for the fic moving forward, but i just call it a alternate timeline bc this originally wasn’t the route i was gonna take and it’s mostly outta habit at this point

read first question, also angst sells better than i expected

i'm a writer, exploring different ideas is part of the job description, fanfic or not

speaking of the alt timeline originally not being the canon route, this was supposed to be a one-off thing....kind of like a "what if" scenario. Somehow I ended up liking that so much that it expanded into this

all that being said, i think this gif sums up my thoughts perfectly:

also diverges during the battle of hogwarts

Zack is not dead, but poor Sakura still bites the dust

no chance of becoming canon (will expand below)

certain parts, esp. Subha and Shaoran's relationship develop at a slightly faster pace

this was an arc that I scraped a while back....it was around the time when the alt timeline became a thing and I started to realize just how convoluted and kinda pointless the entire arc was

during a special a/n I posted on Wattpad as a tribute of sorts to fairy tail, (which had ended as of the time I posted that a/n), i talked about the said scraped arc as i sorta mulled over the number of changes the fanfic had gone through over the years

as a result of that, nostalgia kinda reared its head and this is kinda the result

here's that a/n, if you wanna know more lmao (you should be able to read it w/o a wattpad acct)

pretty self-explanatory

used to be canon (see alt timeline, I do go into a bit of detail as to why I changed it)

sakura and zack are alive in this timeline (obviously)

characters that died canonically (i.e, Fred Weasley, Mad-Eye, ect) are still dead

happier ending, but tbh its been so long, that i've kinda forgotten the stuff that lead to that ending 😂(but i do remember the "final battle" of the story per say, being incredibly stupid)

speaking of the events leading up to it, the ss tipton arc was also canon with this timeline/au and....yeah, you know the drill

shouldn't be taken that seriously, bc they won't actually be in the official lineup of the fanfic

these are just me thinking about a series & kinda creating an "what if" scenario for them with the MF cast in hijjnks and/or angst

mostly happens whenever I get into a new series

sometimes these hcs will bring back fandoms/series that were originally part of the lineup, albeit, changed to fit the current tone of the fanfic

in order to not make this carrd too long, im just gonna list my most used/favorite ones

last thing to note: some of these universes essentially co-exist (think parallel dimensions....this will make sense once you read the fate/stay night one lmaoooo)

fate/stay night

sailor moon (long story)

fullmetal alchemist

steven universe

mdzs (mo dao zu shi)

ouran high school host club (used be originally part of the fic, but got dropped bc of plot/world-building reasons)

my little pony: friendship is magic (yes, I am well aware how dumb this sounds, but this actually involves the Equestria Girls side of Gen 4, and also it’s just a funny idea)

one of the first

this au mostly exists bc I find Gilgamesh a fascinating character (cas!gil is another story entirely but this au is mostly focused on the f/sn gilgamesh)

originated from a Tangled AU I made for MF (i was just getting into the fate franchise abt then)

takes the OG alt timeline route for post battle of hogwarts

starts right after the events of the fate route in f/sn; gil gets defeated by saber, but instead of his spirit fading way, it somehow finds its way into the MF universe.....aka, at the near end of Subha's 5th year at Hogwarts

long story short, Gil corners Subha, both of them try to kill each other

Hermione (and Jiang Yanli) hear the commotion and tries to help but they both gets their asses beat eventually

he's abt to kill them all three of them before Merlin comes to the rescue, the only catch being that the four of them are now bound in a typical Holy Grail War Master-Servant contract, with Subha, Yanli and Hermione essentially co-masters to Gilgamesh, command seals and all...without the Holy Grail War to go with it

the four of them spend the next three to four years together, with gil overseeing the three through the Crocus incident and the war, despite thinking that the latter was a total waste of time

they all do end up developing a begrudging (but still genuine) respect for each other

since this takes the OG alt timeline route, Sakura and Zack are still dead post battle of hogwarts (this is important bc gil and subha's relationship goes through a wave of significant changes that most definitely would not have happened had Zack survived)

(subha's relationship with shaoran develops at a slightly slower rate because of this as well)

second au that had been running around in my head but never came to fruition until recently

one thing to note abt this particular au: parallel dimensions are at work so essentially some of the MF crew (*cough* Subha and Hermione *cough*) get stuck in amestris for about a week or so

this won't take the FMAB movie (Sacred Star of Milos) into account for the reason that essentially this takes place around FMAB, post episode 20

Subha's cousin Pia Singh steals her Ring Journals (dangerous bc that ring has all of Subha's memories in that thing)

Pia makes off with Hermione's ring as well (she was desperate) and somehow ends up losing the rings as she lands in Amestris

Subha's ring somehow ends up in Winry's hands (still in Resembool) but Hermione's.....ends up in Envy's hands

meanwhile subha and hermione bump into Ed and Al (fifteen and fourteen respectively, Ed has his automail arm, Al's soul still bonded to the armour)

the elric brothers become intrigued with the Wizarding World's version of the Philosopher's Stone and (after making sure they were telling the truth) decided to help the two witches find the rings

basically, taking Equivalent Exchange into account Subha and Hermione's rings were their way back home

hermione and subha also end up meeting Riza, Armstrong and Winry (basically the gang present at that point in the series) and get a grasp of the world and the way it works (basically putting down alchemy as "science-based" magic, the use of physical matter around them and applying philosophical ideology to their use of magic)

they eventually find envy, who's hoping to use said rings to possibly speed up Father's Grand Plan™

it is at this time when Hermione and Subha find out Ed and Al's real reason behind wanting to know about Nicolas Flamel's version of the Philosopher's stone, as well as the true nature of the Homunculi

beating Envy and Gluttony by a very narrow margin, Hermione and Subha use their tickets to get home

Subha gave Winry a lacrima to use to see the Elric Brothers and how they are doing bc Lord knows what the hell they'll be up to (although she never really got to use it to watch them cause she was dealing with a ton of shit herself)

she did end up watching Subha and Hermione during the war and the Battle of Hogwarts, which both Ed and Al watched footage of after coming back home (Winry watched the entire thing live)

cut to a year after the wizarding world war, Pia tries again, only this time Harry and Ron tag along in place of Hermione

the three of them land smack dab in Resembool again (in front of Winry’s house) and Pia lands in Briggs

the ranting that erupted out of Winry's mouth after she tackled Subha nearly blew all of their ears off 😂

when subha saw ed with no automail arm and al with his actual body back, she quite literally let out a rather small squeal of joy that neither harry or ron thought was possible to come out of her (for amestris by then, it had been at least two years after the final battle with father)

this damn idea popped up shortly a year after i got into mdzs

long story short, i spent so much time thinking about this au to the point that this is officially part of the lineup; think of this au as a draft of sorts, bc some things are obv not making it into the canon version of the fic

this au does takes the OG alt timeline into account post battle of hogwarts, so both zack and sakura are dead after the war

featuring: an oblivious subha patel and a pining lan xichen

shaoran's relationship w/ subha is platonic....for this particular au that is (it’s still endgame for the canon version, I’m just experimenting with subha’s romantic relationship with another s/o)

but that won't stop shaoran from running after subha like a tired older brother (and her vice versa like good god they share one braincell 90% of the time)

wei wuxian and jiang cheng are reborn/reincarnated as twin brothers into the blake family and are subsequently named wuxian and wanyin blake

their parents? dawn blake (daphne blake's sister, subha patel-blake's adoptive sister) and wei changze, so this effectively makes subha the twins’ aunt, even tho she’s like only five years older than them

jiang cheng has his memories the moment he is born, however wei wuxian doesn't regain his until they both turn four

jin zixuan and jiang yanli are subha's best friends in addition to ginny, sakura, zack and cody

jin zixuan and subha have actually known each other long before even zack and cody came into the picture, a byproduct of daphne blake, her mother and jzx's parents knowing each other

yanli is not there in subha's childhood and growing up with her like zixuan; long story short, the jiangs (read: yu ziyuan) want nothing to do with the blakes.....which is gonna get complicated real quick when jiang yanli and subha meet as first years on the hogwarts express and become fast friends

jin zixuan is very well aware of jiang cheng and wei wuxian are brothers by blood this time around, and hasn't told yanli that they are alive (yet), knowing the chain reaction it will inevitably cause (read: he's understandably terrified of yu ziyuan and doesn't want to put his new friend on her wrath radar)

worth noting that subha is his first best friend....like yanli is there too on the other side but like he could've totally chosen to not be friends with subha, the important thing is that while he still cherishes yanli, it was a relationship that was still foisted onto both of them, while with subha it was a relationship that felt like he had a fucking choice

anyway, the jiangs, jins and lans are all pureblood families, but lan xichen and lan wangji are both half bloods because their mother is a muggle

meng yao is a half blood like lan xichen so they have something in common for once 😂😂😂😂 (im sorry I’ll see myself out)

both nies are alive, and subha (once wwx and jc tell her everything) is doing everything in her power to not let their (stupid) righteousness need for revenge against the wens affect her nephews

i put the histories of all the respective sects onto another page; when i was putting this together it just got super long and cluttered, so yeah

meanwhile, hermione granger gains a new cousin, the younger sister of camille merriweather, priya merriweather, who, (surprise, surprise) is the reincarnation of priya patel (julia merriweather has no idea that her new daughter is priya, she just wanted to name her after her best friend)

wei wuxian and jiang cheng are both muggle-borns, which is kinda funny considering that their adoptive aunt is a pureblood witch

at any rate, both wei wuxian and jiang cheng both end up in gryffindor, something that surprises jiang cheng (he fully expected himself to be put into slytherin or hufflepuff) but is happy to be in the same house as his aunt subha all the same

lan xichen is subha's primary love interest post battle of hogwarts/2nd wizarding war. that being said, lxc being said primary love interest is not super set in stone for this au like i had intended, its honestly a toss up between lan xichen, jin zixuan and jiang yanli

regardless of who i choose to be the primary s/o, subha's love life is going to get complicated real quick, like at least subha and shaoran’s relationship in the other timelines/aus is pretty straight forward despite their fair share of hang ups abt moving on with each other w/o sakura’s presence, but those three idiots??? Oh boy

in any case, lan xichen??? this boy is an utter clown, to the point where a) everyone notices him pining for subha, including zack, b) subha is oblivious to said pining, and c) his younger brother, an expert in the pining department, is having second hand embarrassment

it honestly gets to a point where, during the preparations for the battle of hogwarts, zack confronts xichen about it, asks him whether he'll go pursue subha if he dies (tbf they are literally going to war, and zack just wants lxc to respect her boundaries)

jiang yanli, meanwhile, still has jiang fengmian and yu ziyuan as her parents and still has to deal with the same bullshit from them, even if jiang cheng and wei wuxian aren't jiangs anymore (and wwx wasn't really a part of the family, no matter how much jyl would've liked to pretend tbh)

the only difference now, is that she gains new two younger twin siblings names jiang madhi and jiang lily and she loves them all the same anyway

madhi and lily are reincarnations of Madhi Patel and Lily Potter (respectively), and jiang fengmian, the cheeky bastard that he is, immediately knew and gave them their names accordingly

the closest translation of what i could find of madhi's name in chinese/mandarin is Míngyuè 明月 (so it would technically be 江明月, Jiang Mingyue) since his name is of indian origin and in indian culture, it actually has two meanings: moon as well as intelligent, and since madhi patel in his previous life was well known to have been an aspiring inventor and incredibly intelligent, Mingyue could very well be his chinese name

lily's name in chinese (translated to to best of my resources) would be 百合, Bǎihé, or 江百合, Jiang Baihe (shit that was fairly simple)

honestly, i would be more inclined to use these names if i was absolutely sure of these translations and didn't want to make a fool of myself, so im just sticking with just madhi and lily

(tbf, the real question is how tf yu ziyuan let jiang fengmian name their younger kids after two people she despised...yeah she very much has a history of just being a total dick towards madhi and priya (pissing off madhi patel royally within record time - a man normally well known to not lose his cool all that much and when he did, it was fucking brutal). jiang fengmian, who was friends with madhi, couldn't do much to stop her, and its not like lily and james potter were happy campers with their two friends being thrown under the bus by her husband constantly)

the irony of yu ziyuan being sorted into gryffindor as a student at hogwarts, but her personality later in life reflecting almost none of what being a gryffindor normally entails (except maybe being reckless and a single-minded bitch)

jiang fengmian was a hufflepuff, and a lot of people expected his daughter to end up in the same house as him, given their seemingly similar dispositions, but alas, the sorting hat had different ideas lmao

both jiang yanli and jiang madhi end up being sorted into ravenclaw (in madhi's case, again); jiang lily is again sorted into gryffindor (some things never change 😂😂)

lan xichen, lan wangji and lan qiren are also reincarnated and their family history is largely the same, except for the fact that madam lan's parents forced her into a marriage with the twin jades' father, who later died of a heart attack

madam lan and lan qiren get their memories back at the same time, and immediately lqr was adamant that madam lan leave the family and her sons

madam lan on the other hand, wasn't having it, she was tired of being pushed around by the lans and thus got into a huge argument that spanned months, and it would've spanned years if lxc and lwj didn't step in and reveal that they got their memories back, and that if their mother left, they were not staying, period

its at this point lqr finally just relents, knowing how stubborn wangji is, and thus madam lan is very much alive and healthy well into her sons' adult lives

lan qiren was a ravenclaw, however only lan xichen ended up in the same house as lqr years later, as lan wangji ended up being sorted into gryffindor and one can imagine lqr being pissed about wangji being put in the same house as wwx and not being able to convince albus dumbledore to switch him to a different house (subha and harry warned both him and mcgonagall that lqr would try to pull this bullshit beforehand)

luna lovegood is literally lan xichen’s closest and also his best friend by a certain point; he feels too awkward and guilty around nie mingjue, meng yao was completely out of the question

luna, to her credit, was one of the few people able to take lan qiren’s constant criticisms about being xichen’s choice of friend with a grain of salt; anyone else in her position would’ve ended any friendship or relationship they had with xichen bc they absolutely cannot mentally handle his uncle

luna is very much aware of the lans’ past lives, including jiang yanli, wen qing and pretty much everyone else and she believed it way faster than xichen ever expected her to

the jins are a pureblood wizarding family, but they also have significant ties to the muggle world as well

because of this, jin zixuan (much like subha) grew up being well acquainted with both worlds

much like jiang yanli, he's also stuck dealing with the same bullshit from his parents (i.e, jin guangshan's philandering ways, his mother screaming at jgs at every turn) and for both him and jiang yanli, subha is definitely a reprieve from their stressful home lives

meng shi, (jin guangyao’s mother) is a muggle and has heard the rumours about her son's rise and eventual downfall; while she's not happy, at this point, she's just glad that they have a more stable life than they did back in their previous lives

because of this, jin guangyao/meng yao is now actively avoiding the jins per his mother's pleading

(although once subha tells jin zixuan about meng yao holding jin ling hostage, meng yao will definitely try in vain to run from jin zixuan trying to hex him into oblivion)

meng yao as half the people he cared about in his last life actively avoid him and/or try to punch him in the face: well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

also, meng yao has been sorted into slytherin, like the bastard's still got ambition and a sly mind, however muted by his mother's requests to stay low

jin zixuan's mom was in hufflepuff and his father in slytherin; various jins landed up in different houses (in fact, a large portion are slytherin alumni), but zixuan himself is literally the only gryffindor in the entire clan...which honestly should say a lot

jin zixun is a hufflepuff, something that greatly annoys him and is a huge dick to his housemates as a result (sit down, no one gives a shit lmao)

qin su is also hufflepuff, and in this current life, is largely a quiet and timid person

qin su also avoids meng yao like the plague (and in her sixth year, subha patel proves to be immensely helpful in that regards…for completely mysterious reasons)

zixuan and yanli are very much confused by subha’s attempts to comfort, help and befriend qin su…only to find out how much of a scumbag jin guangshan was after doing some digging

unfortunately the sperm donor of a father remains the same, with madam qin eventually committing suicide right before qin su started attending hogwarts

sect leader qin does find out what happened and is very distraught about the fact that his wife never told him about her SA and ultimately swears revenge (in fact, he’s the key to jin guangshan’s downfall down the road, with jin zixuan along for the ride for good measure) but he still loves qin su like his own regardless because at the end of the day, he was the one who raised her…twice, one might add lmao

subha originally kept what happened to the jins after wwx return largely a secret, apart from telling zixuan and yanli that jin ling became sect leader at a young age

it’s after finding out about the shitstorm that led to jin ling becoming sect leader in the first place does it send zixuan apologizing profusely to qin su and her father, promising to help them and get them some semblance of justice

in the grand scheme of the plot, the nie brothers are rather minor characters

but worth noting that nie huaisang ends up as a ravenclaw (the sorting hat seriously considered him for slytherin, but nhs wanted to just spend his days in carefree mode, so the hat just shoved him in ravenclaw 😂)

nie mingjue, to no one’s shock in the cultivation world, ends up as a gryffindor

nmj still has no idea about the bullshit his brother pulled in their past lives after his death and that huaisang garnered the “headless shaker” title for the next 13 years just to topple jin guangyao

…at least until one day, he overhears huaisang and subha patel talking, where subha tells him that he can do whatever the fuck he wants to meng yao, but the minute nhs tries to manipulate her nephew wei wuxian into his plans, subha will tell mingjue everything and also destroy both of the nies’ reputation in the process

nie huaisang, to his credit, doesn’t try to keep up his façade like he usually does to literally everyone else, because he had the dire feeling that subha was not fucking around and that she could easily overpower the both of them

nie mingjue does end up getting some more details from lan xichen tho, and he is…understandably a bit distraught that huaisang had to go that far

none of the 3-zun trio members want nothing to do with each other, or more specifically, nmj and lxc no longer want to have anything to do with meng yao (and unfortunately for meng yao, the fact that he’s been sorted into slytherin doesn’t exactly help in him trying to make any sort of amends)

nie huaisang still (indirectly) torments the shit outta meng yao tho, and it’s because of huaisang that word got out about meng yao’s parentage within slytherin house

wen ning and wen qing are alive and well, as is the rest of their family

unfortunately, this also means that wen ruohan, wen chao, wang lingjiao and wen xu are also alive

that being said, wen ruohan doesn’t reeeally give a shit about taking over the cultivation world anymore or the wizarding world for that matter (yeah, not even wrh wants to deal with the sheep/mob mentality of the cultivation world, and after finding out about the aftermath of his defeat in the sunshot campaign, he wants it even less)

he is however, content with more or less having an iron grip over the wen clan so he is still an ass

wen ruohan is very much amused when it gets out that subha patel and harry potter are the aunt and uncle of the yiling laozu and sandu sengshou

while wen qing ends up fighting in the battle of hogwarts, (with her also joining the dumbledore’s army during her fifth year), wen ning is forced to go into hiding alongside wei wuxian and jiang cheng (thanks subha)

wen xu sits out of the entire war along with his father, but that doesn’t stop wen chao from joining the war as a death eater

wen ning is a hufflepuff, with wen qing ending up in ravenclaw (y'all saw this coming, don't @ me), wen chao and wen xu end up in slytherin; wang lingjiao is a squib, a forever stain on her reputation in the wizarding world, but that also means that the cultivation world cares about her even less than before and as a result, is a laughing stock

wen qing is recognized pretty early as a medical prodigy, with madame pomfrey taking wen qing under her wing outside of class time

she also finds out about wei wuxian and jiang cheng being alive (and them being the adoptive twin nephews of the two most famous godsiblings) through hermione of all people

padma patil is wen qing’s best friend and like luna, is very much aware of their past lives and found it odd that yanli and zixuan haven’t told subha yet

wen zhuliu is also alive but no longer uses the wen name; he goes by zhao zhuliu and is content with just managing a small bookstore while not interacting with the cultivation world on the whole

zhao zhuliu however, had grown up with madhi patel and because of this, got embroiled in the 1st wizarding world war and consistently remembers madhi as a good, compassionate man; he wouldn't be the first nor the last person to see a significant amount of madhi in subha by a long shot

but given that in his past life, he was the golden core crusher (and also destroyed jiang cheng's golden core in that past), subha is not gonna be happy when she sees him (and yes, im very much imagining it to be similar to how harry tried to kill sirius in prisoner of azkaban)

su minshan was sorted into slytherin, however he was also full of green envy and often acted like he knew everything to the point where the teachers would inwardly groan every time he raised his hand and were met with a wrong answer every single time without fail. he was more of a discount gilderoy lockhart, if you will, only far more cowardly and even more of a traitorous bastard

like, su she has the brains— actually no, neither his grades or ability in magic and cultivation were the best— but if death eaters were to invade hogwarts before the year the actual battle of hogwarts took place, he would absolutely sell out the entire school to save his own skin

(i briefly considering ravenclaw or hufflepuff for su she, and gryffindor was completely outta the question, but su she is also someone who would definitely use any means necessary if it meant assuaging his pride. this was also me trying to not just shove all of the antagonists into slytherin (but it ended up that way for some of the wens cause i couldn’t see any alternative). also idk if this fanon interpretation or not, but a huge part of his character was that he both admired (thus trying to copy him) and hated lan wangji, and that he was largely delusional, i.e, thinking that he had a greater rivalry with lan wangji than the reality that wangji honestly doesn’t give a single shit. he also came to despise anyone with a silver spoon (this could also be fanon), which is the biggest reason why I didn’t consider him being put into slytherin at first)

su she was however caught plagiarizing his essays a few times and after like the fifth time, the teachers had caught on and he subsequently got expelled in his sixth year (unsurprisingly, mcgonagall was fed up with him the most)

in some respects, the other sects really haven’t changed, their classism and elitism having definitely shifted to include the toxic pureblood ideology of the wizarding world (you hoped they would actually grow and see any modern nuance? hope is for idiots; they’re about as self-serving as they can get lmao like have you read the ending of the MDZS novel—)

despite that, they only had so much power, and because of that one single factor, it was a relatively kinder world for people like meng yao than it was in the past and this is true especially for xiao xingchen, song lan and a-qing (unforgiving in some aspects, but still kinder)

both xiao xingchen and song lan graduated hogwarts years ago as a gryffindor and ravenclaw respectively (and just a few years short of harry, subha and their friends starting their first year) but still showed up to fight during the battle of hogwarts

after the war, the two brought a-qing with them to visit wei wuxian at blake manor

luo qingyang was born a muggle but like wei changze, had access to her golden core

she attended weston private academy, where her classmates included camille merriweather and sakura kinomoto among others, and it was through them that she found that wei wuxian had reincarnated and that sakura was one of his aunts 😂

cangse sanren didn’t reincarnate and honestly is just content watching over her loved ones, and has definitely accepted dawn as wwx’s second mother

ccsr also kept a keen eye on subha when she was at hogwarts…i think at one point she might’ve bribed one of the Hogwarts ghosts to try and shave off umbridge’s hair as revenge for subha’s punishment with the lines, but they outright refused

somehow, she managed to get the weasley twins to make the woman’s life hell (the twins didn’t question why she suspiciously resembled wwx at the time, the question really only hit when the war ended and yanli and subha were well on their way in beating up half of the cultivation world)

during subha’s sixth year (also wwx’s first year), when lan qiren temporarily took over binns’ position of teaching history of magic, you bet your goddamn ass that ccsr shaved off lqr’s beard, partially as revenge for everything he’s ever said and done to her a-ying and also because he was attempting to single out subha for her mere association to wwx and if the weasley twins were still attending, she absolutely would’ve let them do it
