(Thanks you talking-bird-jessie for suggesting this scene from Order of the Phoenix!)
Reblogging because this is beautiful and totally should’ve been in the movie
Why are moments like this not in the movies? 😥
I have this headcanon that after Neville proposed to Hannah Abbott, he went to his parents at St. Mungo’s and sat with them. Even though he was sure she wouldn’t understand or remember, he held his mother’s hands and told her, “I’m getting married, Mum. She’s great. You’ll really like her.” Alice just hummed and stared off into the distance. No reaction. Neville still stayed, telling his parents all about Hannah and their plans, and how she wanted so badly to come meet them and he would bring her next time.
Then, as he put his hand on the door handle to leave, he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Alice. She held out her hand as she had done so many times before. Expecting a candy wrapper, Neville held out his hand but felt something heavier drop into it.
When he looked down, there were two rings. And when he glanced to his mother’s hand, there was an indent where her wedding ring had once rested but was no longer there.
Today is the 100-year anniversary of the end of World War One. I happen to have written a Klaine fic, where a good chunk of the story is set during the Great War. If you haven’t read historic fiction before, this might be a good place to start.
Westerville Abbey doesn’t set out all the important battles, military strategies and politics of the Great War. However, you will learn what life was like during the war from a number of perspectives, ranging from soldiers fighting in the front-line trenches to those working in the fields on the home front. The story is told through your favorite Glee characters with Kurt and Blaine the main characters. Underlying it all, it’s a love story.
I can pretty much guarantee you that you’ll learn some new interesting facts about World War One.
Westerville Abbey
Blaine is the second son of the earl of Westerville, and is considered the spare heir. After his 18th birthday, he attends the London Season to fulfill his duty of finding a wife. He soon realizes he is more attracted to the new footman. Kurt, who has just arrived at Westerville Abbey to work alongside his father, becomes equally as smitten with the earl’s youngest son. Will Blaine and Kurt be able to overcome their class differences in 1910s England? Will their forbidden love survive WW1? A Downton Abbey inspired historical Klaine AU.
