okay but neville longbottom as head of gryffindor house and there’s all these stories of him going head to head with an army of werewolves, being tortured by death eaters and killing Voldemort’s snake with godric gryffindor’s actual sword but when the students see him he’s like cradling a pot plant and crying cause he saw someone lost their pet on the noticeboard and they’re like “that guy? are you sure it’s that guy” 

BONUS: one of the older student’s get dared to go up and ask him if it’s true and neville just makes direct eye-contact and says “voldemort was a punk bitch” and continues knitting a lil baby sweater for a mandrake

Character Development 📕

This post dragged me into the street, threw me in a stockade and pelted me with vegetables.

If you make ENOUGH original characters, they will eventually interact, and CREATE a story from there. 

Creating OCs is the Playing Scales of Writing- it’s practice for understanding how people work, how your choices in portraying’constructing those people affects yourself and the reader. It’s learning how your world affect how people become people and therefore world-building. Since all plot is, eventually, character reations and interactions, it’s actually writing your story.

You can’t have a story without characters.  Make a whole world full of them, and they’ll tell you thier stories.
