“The fairy is a small and decorative beast of little intelligence. Often used or conjured by wizards for decoration, the fairy generally inhabits woodlands or glades. Ranging in height from one to five inches, the fairy has a minute humanoid body, head, and limbs but sports large insect like wings, which may be transparent or multi-colored, according to type.”
“The fairy possesses a weak brand of magic that it may use to deter predators, such as an Augurey. it has a quarrelsome nature but, being excessively vain, it will become docile in any occasion when called to act as an ornament. Despite it’s humanlike appearance, the fairy cannot speak. it makes a high pitched buzzing noise to communicate with its fellows.”
“The fairy lays up to fifty eggs at a time on the underside of leaves. The eggs hatch into brightly colored larvae. At the age of six to ten days these spin themselves a cocoon, from which they emerge one month later as fully formed winged adults.”
-Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
It’s a huge dream of mine to work on the “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” movie trilogy. I’ve been trying to draw some beasts from the book lately in hopes that sharing them may lead me to doing some design work on the films. This prospect is really exciting to me, so expect more creature drawings from me. I hope you enjoy. :)
The second art in continuation of the theme of the Ministry of Magic is already on my Patreon!
Thanks to everyone who supports me on instagram and tumblr! Friends, your support is very important to me, it warms my heart and inspires me. I understand the special importance of your feedback, especially after a short vacation that I allowed myself on the occasion of burnout. All my art, except nsfw, has always been and will be in the public domain and open to use for you ❤️
Patreon is created for those who want to see more and support my creativity more. Unfortunately, the Instagram format is not suitable for art 18+, it is also not convenient to publish long descriptions and storyboards here, there is no way to attach a high-quality file with art, and that’s why I choose another site. I have updated the description of the support levels to tell you more about what I would like to give you in response to the support. This is really a tangible and real help, becoming my patron, you give me the opportunity to take less time to pay my bills and spend more time on creativity and improving my skills. Thank you to everyone who has done and is doing this ❤️
Deputy Minister of Magic and War heroine Hermione Granger is a truly attentive and responsible employee. As a matter of duty, she is aware of everything that is going on in the Ministry of Magic and Magical Britain, and indeed the whole magical world. But there is one thing that almost everyone noticed except her: the fire of unconditional adoration that glows in the eyes of auror Draco Malfoy when he looks at Hermione Granger.
See, I don’t understand what the British wizarding world’s problem is with flying carpets. The Ministry of Magic over there banned them because they were a ‘Muggle object’ - because brooms don’t exist in the Muggle world at all, nooooooo. And they’re expecting the rest of the world to follow suit because they’re Brits and therefore know better?
Hell the sort of brooms you see in England - whether as transport or as cleaning tool - aren’t even that common elsewhere. This, for example, is a more common type of 'broom’ in Asia, particularly where my parents are from:
Yes, a bundle of sticks. Sure, you could magically reinforce them so that they don’t break, but the idea of sitting on a bunch of splinters doesn’t appeal to me.
I did try out flying during my brief time at Hogwarts. It’s…okay, but probably overrated. The broomsticks aren’t particularly comfortable, it takes an incredible amount of balance, and you’re basically trying to keep yourself stable on a tiny tiny amount of space. And you can’t really carry anything that you’re not wearing (though I have been told of broomsticks that come with luggage baskets charmed to carry any amount of items).
Flying carpets though? They’re wide, they’re soft, they’re gentle. You can bring multiple people and a whole host of objects. Many of them do double duty too - that one in the picture? You put it over any surface and it gives you instant access to hidden levels and rooms - if there’s nothing there, or if you’re a Muggle or jadunai, all you see is a pretty design. Sometimes you just don’t have time to hunt for trapdoors.
One of my uncles designs flying carpets. A lot of the ones his company makes are pretty standard, like how there are regular family cars. But they’re also doing a lot of groundbreaking work with carpets, openly borrowing from the jadunai, knowing that a lot of technological innovation on the jadunai side was inspired by us anyway so why restrict ourselves? It’s just symbiosis, says he. I was kind of young when I met him and his carpet company for the first time, visiting family back in Bidesh, and the carpets were the main thing I remember about that entire trip.
He had all sorts of fun stuff: carpets with built-in compasses (some of those have compasses that point to the Kaabah so they can double as Muslim prayer mats), this prototype where the carpet itself was a GPS system, ones with voice command, I think they were working on one that purifies the air or does something to reduce carbon footprints. All very imaginative innovative stuff.
And what do the Brits, the Bilatis do? BAN THEM. Probably because they feel threatened that some backwards region of the world can be more magically advanced than they are. 'Muggle objects’, pah.
There’s a lot about Bideshi magic that I’m still struggling to wrap my head around, so much that I don’t even know. But flying carpets? Here is where we win.
Quiz: Which Wizarding World Career is Right for You?
“Well, Potter, this meeting is to talk over any career ideas you might have, and to help you decide which subjects you should continue into the sixth and seventh years. Have you had any thoughts about what you would like to do after you leave Hogwarts?” (OotP 662)
In their fifth year, Hogwarts students meet with their Heads of House to discuss potential career paths and what classes students will need to take to achieve them. Our favorite Boy-Who-Lived himself met with Professor McGonagall, and it was this meeting that set him on the path to the Ministry of Magic’s Department of Law Enforcement, where he works today as an Auror. Now, dear reader, you will step into young Mr. Potter’s shoes for your virtual meeting with your Head of House to discuss your academic interests and what wizarding career they might lead you to.

Idk y’all the ministry was definitely onto something in the order of the Phoenix. Cuz Dumbledore was def raising an army of child soldiers. Like they were not wrong
So I know it’s usually assumed by the fandom that you’re automatically enrolled in whatever wizarding school is closest to you, but I don’t think this holds up.
Draco Malfoy at one point mentions that his parents had discussed which school to send him to, which confirms that the parents of students do have a choice.
I won’t go into authorial intent, but with only 40 students a year Hogwarts can’t even be the only British option.
The acceptance letter Harry received requires a response to let them know you’ll be attending, which implies you can turn down your acceptance.
Normal students also have a descion making window between receiving their Hogwarts letter and the reply deadline, which wouldn’t be necessary if there are no options to discuss.
Harry’s lack of options is an exception. Why exactly this is remains up for debate- it seems to be implied throughout the books that the Dursleys aren’t Harry’s full legal gaurdians, and their input doesn’t seem to be required for major decisions.
I also think it’s relevant that Harry is supposed to know about the wizarding world- Hagrid is shocked to learn that Harry doesn’t, and calls it a “scandal”. It stands to reason that because of this Harry missed out on any introduction that muggle raised students would normally receive, and we can only speculate how that’s done.
I think what is likely under normal circumstances is the local wizarding government informs muggleborn families of the child’s magic and explains their education options, and then the families apply to various schools and choose from one that accepts the child.
My guess would be that muggle born students are introduced early enough to accommodate for the speed of muggle post and travel at least as far back as when the ministry of magic was created (1707) but probably even earlier.
The third of seven brand new Drarry fics inspired by the seven Weasley siblings.
@evaeleanor gives us a story of two over-demanding bosses repeatedly hounding our boys to the verge of breakdown. It’s a good thing they have each other to take the edge off when things get too much, but what if there was another solution to their problems?
Draco’s life could be so perfect. He’s got a marvellous roommate (with an even more marvellous cock), an amazing job, and doesn’t waste away in Azkaban. The obstacle in his way: Percy Weasley, boss extraordinaire.
This weekend, we’ll post seven brand new holiday-infused fics, each one inspired by one of the seven Weasley siblings. Each story is a stand-alone work, but together they make up the anthology we call Seven Shades of Weasley.
Over the weekend, we’ll give you 7 fics — plus an accompanying Spotify playlist containing 7 songs, one for each fic included in the collection.
We — the Seven Shades of Drarry — are a group of Drarry fanfiction writers of different backgrounds, ages, and nationalities who work together in a rare collaboration. Seven different writing styles, seven different strengths, seven different weaknesses, all united in one project, working together to create unified themed collections based around the number seven. Each theme has seven threads, each writer assigned a thread to inspire their story, and all combined to create The Seven Shades of Drarry.
Below the cut, you will find a guide to the Ministry of Magic found in the Harry Potter series. All information, floors, positions, etc. are retrieved from Pottermore, HP Wiki pages, and the Harry Potter series themselves.
This guide divides the Ministry based on floor, and goes in depth with each of the jobs located on that floor, split into department by floor. This guide is as complete as possible, and has just about every occupation that there is on it for reference and use with picking out occupations, etc.
