introspectivenavelgazer: tygermama: introspectivenavelgazer: tygermama: norcumi: thispreciousthing: (x) I’m not as into Harry Potter as I used to be but by God I love headcanoning characters into Hogwarts. @deadcatwithaflamethrower I need more of this If my kids were magic, I would want the school to have Eliot Spencer teaching DADA not Snape.Also because Eliot is like the best mom-type in the whole wide world. Eliot would either not let you get away with anything or make that disgruntled sigh and help you with what ever it was you were up to while bitching about how your performing your mischief wrong the whole time Eliot would totally be that teacher that also showed the kids how to deal with dark wizards with a knife, books and whatever else you could get your hands on before they even cast a spell. Now I’m thinking he’s not DADA but something like herbology, just to surprise people.  If you can’t see the first image, it’s a screenshot of tweets by marisa the destroyer @tsabracadabra. I went to that link, and found even MORE awesome stuff there, which I shall now copy-paste to here, so it’s easily available; as follows. ***A Concept: a #Leverage and #HarryPotter crossover where the crew is hired to unravel some kind of conspiracy at Hogwarts, and they, a crew of almost no magical talent (more on that later) have to pose as teachers and students in a magical school. 1/?SOPHIE is the go-between through which the client finds Team Leverage because AS IT TURNS OUT, Sophie is really a Squib from a very prominent magical family. Grifting was the only way she could make it in the magical world growing up, and it turns out grifting is a skill that translates very well to making it in the muggle world, as well. But Sophie has enough carryover knowledge of Magical Things to help get the crew set up in Hogwarts.Sophie works very hard to find a low-magic class Nate can teach that wouldn’t raise suspicion when he doesn’t cast a spell. Nate, after a few hours of research, tosses her suggestions aside and defiantly states “Yeah, I’m teaching charms.”“Nate, you don’t have a magical drop of blood in your body.” “I know.” “You’re not teaching Charms.” “I am absolutely teaching Charms.” “How the hell do you expect to do that?” “I don’t have to *do* anything. I just have to *teach* it.”While all of this is happening, Eliot has quietly tossed aside the Potions curriculum Sophie has put together for him and starts writing up his lesson plan for Defense Against the Dark Arts.Hardison and Parker, meanwhile, are posing as students, and Parker uses her thief skills to pretend to be very good at Transfiguration. Wow, look at Parker, she can make ANYTHING disappear!Meanwhile Hardison, trying to distract himself from technology withdrawal (and having a small character arc about how useful he really is with no technology around) shuts himself in the library and starts picking apart the linguistic construction of spells and he eventually starts to figure out hey… hey. Magic is kinda like programming. He can work with this. Write the software, run it on the hardware. Just because HE isn’t the proper hardware doesn’t mean he can’t still write the software.so Hardison very quickly starts learning to write up custom spells for very specific situations, and more importantly, he figures out a way to pre-load spells into wands so someone who ISN’T magical can still point a wand and make a magic happen.(HARDISON BASICALLY INVENTS ASSISTIVE DEVICES FOR SQUIBS, OKAY, and it’s cute and Sophie is flabbergasted and a little emotional over it?? Hardison just needs some magical folk to cast the initial spell so he can pre-load it into a wand)Anyway the school year starts and Nate is teaching charms and he is FRUSTRATINGLY GOOD AT IT and all the students adore him, everyone is excelling, bc his style of teaching is to walk the kid through the process (using the book) and guiding THEM to figure things out themselves, but there is ONE student, ONE STUDENT in Nate’s class who is like “you know I haven’t seen Professor [Nate’s Alias] cast any charms all year, don’t you think that’s strange?” and she starts watching more closely and Nate hasn’t cast a SINGLE SPELL AT ALL.But she can’t get anyone else to pay attention to it, because Nate’s just THAT GOOD at teaching, no one can even the fathom the possibility he can’t do magic. What would he be doing teaching magic school if he can’t??Defense Against the Dark Arts with Eliot Spencer, day one: ELIOT: You’re eating lunch in the great hall and a Dark Wizard attacks. What’s your first move. STUDENT: Protection spell? ELIOT: So you’ve already got your wand out? You always eat lunch ready to counterattack someone?STUDENT: Well, uh, I get my wand out, then – ELIOT: Where’s your wand? STUDENT: It’s right here. ELIOT: While you’re eating lunch. Where’s your wand? In your robes? On the table? STUDENT: I mean it’s probably… on the table…ELIOT: Probably? You’re not sure? So you’re telling me if a dark wizard strolls in and readies a curse you’re gonna figure out what’s happening, decide to cast a protection spell, find your wand, and cast your protection spell all before HE has time to cast a curse?STUDENT: Well, what do you suggest I do?! ELIOT: Step one? (slams hands on table) GET YOUR ASS TO SAFETY. The best way to survive a fight is to not get into a fight to start with! STUDENT: What if there’s nowhere to go? ELIOT: That brings us to step two, “How to Throw A Punch”.I don’t actually know what kind of school conspiracy the crew is even unraveling I just want them all at Hogwarts having a grand time. I do know the big plot twist near the climax, though:ELIOT ACTUALLY IS A WIZARDHe didn’t go to Ilvermony though because fuck that shit. Turns out Eliot’s country upbringing was, in fact, in a tight-knit rural magical community, of which there are many peppered throughout America! He learned magic at home.And that rustic country feel is present in the kind of spells he casts and the way he casts them. I don’t necessarily KNOW what those differences are, but they’re definitely there. But he preferred his crew not find out he can do actual real magic :|honestly all of this is just a bunch of ideas strung together by the common thread of LEVERAGE CREW AT HOGWARTS but also before I forget: Sophie is a Slytherin, Nate and Hardison are Ravenclaw (Nate’s a Slytherin hatstall tho), Parker is Gryffindor and Eliot is Hufflepuff. -- source link
