tathrin:thepostmodernpottercompendium:It wasn’t all leather jackets and running around being a bad boy.Sometimes it was leather jackets and being a bad girl.One or the other? Teddy found it difficult to choose just one. Some days it just felt right, putting on boy clothes and living down to all the nasty things Rita Skeeter wrote about them. (Being a boy in girl clothes was fun too, when the mood struck.) Some days it just felt right putting on girl clothes and closing your eyes and imagining a whole new body and slowly slipping into it. And sometimes it was fun too, being a girl and wearing leather jackets and trousers far too loose, barely hanging on their hips.Not that it was easy. There were little things. Gran saying things like “are you sure you want to wear that skirt?” - not because it was a skirt and Teddy was a boy, but because it was ugly, or at least that was what she said, but it never quite felt that way. As though Teddy had no taste, as though Teddy could never be fully initiated into the mysteries of femininity. The way Aunt ‘Cissa would purse her lips and the way the tips of his uncle Draco’s ears would turn slightly red as he stumbled over finding the right pronouns - even after Teddy had told him.But there were good things too. Like Aunt Hermione sitting with them patiently and teaching them how to walk in high heels - something she’d spent years trying with only very unintelligible advice from her fellow dorm-mates. Minerva McGonagall sending bullies on their way with their ears still ringing from one of her infamous blistering scolds. And Victoire. Victoire who gazed adoringly at them and sometimes helped them paint their fingernails. And sometimes helped them with  charms to keep their trousers from falling off altogether. But most of all, simply accepted them and loved them with no need for complicated whys and wherefores.(The hair, though, the hair always stayed bright blue.)Excellent, headcanon accepted (except for the fact that personally, I’ve always thought that pure-bloods would be the most accepting, in the Wizarding World, of non-binary genders and so forth, because come on, these are people who can transfigure themselves into chairs for fun. Why on earth would they care about gender? Nah—Cissy would be far more annoyed by the leather jackets and ill-fitting trousers than any gender fluidity, I’m sure!). -- source link
