Malec Hogwarts AU [Part 1/?]
Alec Lightwood is a Ravenclaw student, but all he wanted was to be sorted into Gryffindor with his sister Isabelle & his adopted brother Jace, whom he got a crush on since he was 12. Especially when in his 4th year, Jace seems to be interested in Clary, a 3rd year Gryffindor, who’s best friend – Simon – happens to be Alec’s only friend in Ravenclaw. To help him forget about Jace & Clary, Isabelle drags him to a secret party held by a 6th year Slytherin. At the party, Alec meet a guy with very strange eyes who turn out to be the host, and also Slytherin Prefect.
I have the feeling I will get into lots of trouble posting this
8 Harry Potter movies & several unrelated movies of Godfrey & Kevin in 3 days, just to make this …
I have written so many posts about a hypothetical Harry Potter AU for TMI. I could never decide whether to put Alec in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff (Ravenclaw is my house, so).
I think for this AU, I would make Maia Alec’s friend in Ravenclaw and put Simon in Hufflepuff. Jordan once mentioned that she wanted to go to Stanford, so she is probably really smart and could use some more book-time.
I also can’t stand Jace much, or Alec’s crush on him, so I would drop that aspect. Alec can just be a shy and self-conscious gay guy who isn’t ready to come out and misses spending time with his sister, rather than have an unrequited crush on someone who canonically treats him like crap.
I also want Alec to be a future Ravenclaw Prefect- Alec would be good at his studies and reliable.
I have a bunch of scenarios going on in my head for this AU, such as Alec smelling Amortentia and realizing it smells like Magnus, which is how he figures out that he likes the older student.
Same here, but at the end I chose Ravenclaw because the color scheme match Alec’s eyes (lame i know)
I don’t like Jace too (& I think Alec had a crush on him simply because he is the only guy around Alec for years) but I want to keep the relationship as canon as possible, also Alec’s feelings for Jace has an important part later in of my story.
I’m not really pay much attention to Maia & Jordan, but i thought of put Maia in Gryffindor & Jordan in Hufflepuff. Simon/Alec is actually my BROTP, idk i just think they have a lot in common, just don’t have the opportunity to develop their relationship. Also Simon need to be friend with Alec so he can get involved with Isabelle.
This AU is pulling me farther in…
Hm, so would Alec’s parents have been a part of the Circle/Death Eaters, the followers of Valentine/Voldermort?
Maybe the Lightwoods are a prominent Gryffindorfamily and Alec worries that his parents aren’t as proud of him as Isabelle, who successfully got into their house. After all, he failed to get into his family’s house. Though, in his parents’ eyes Ravenclaw is better than Slytherin or Hufflepuff.
He would also feel pretty cut off from his sister, who easily makes friends wherever she goes as well as Jace.
I had originally put Magnus in Slytherin as well; he can come off as pretty sneaky and secretive. And I think that house needs some positive attention. And a Slytherin would definitely have a secret party with alcohol and Izzy would know about it. And he is a prefect, which makes it funnier.
Would Catarina feature in this verse? I imagine she would be in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw? Or maybe Ragnor is in Ravenclaw (and Magnus can bother him for information on the cute Ravenclaw he met). Friendships in Hogwarts seems to follow school lines. Tight friendships outside of your house are never really portrayed that often.
Luna and Cho are the only Ravenclaw characters who get any page time so I would love to see Alec as one. I still think he would have a hard time relating to a lot of other students, and that it took some time for Simon and Alec to become friends. Alec can come off as unfriendly and a recluse, so a lot of people don’t bother getting to know him. And I still think that Alec in Hogwarts would prefer to avoid brining attention to himself. He goes to class, answers questions when asked, and does his homework. He might not really try to stand out. He might not have developed much of a reputation, besides that Lightwood who failed to get into Gryffindor (and the attention he got from that eventually faded). So, Magnus would have heard about Izzy but not her shy older brother.
This AU is eating my brain a bit.
Do we really need Valentine … this AU was just meant to be a fluffy highschool AU, except the highschool here is Hogwarts … I don’t want Clary & Jace to be involved much in this story
I don’t like how Rowling villainize Slytherin, so in this story all the houses will be much more friendlier with each others than in the HP vers
The Lightwood reminds me a lot of the pure blood families like the Black or the Malfoy, so they actually a prominent Slytherinfamily. Maryse & Robert didn’t pressure their children much about which house they get in, but they do like their kids to follow the family traditional (Guess they actually are good parents in this AU? But they are still very old-fashioned & strict). However Jace is not a Lightwood & Isabelle is naturally rebellious (like Sirius), so even if they are younger than him, Alec knew they would get in Gryffindor someday. So his first choice was Gryffindor, and second choice was Slytherin, but he didn’t get into both & he was very disappointed, that’s why he is not very interested in making friends in Ravenclaw (and also because of his personalities of course). He knew Simon after Clary started hang out with Jace & Isabelle, and after that Simon noticed Alec always sitting alone at lunch so he just kind of came & sit with Alec.
Magnus is an excellent student & very charming, he is friend with everyone, the kids love him because he is a very cool Prefect, and all the teachers likes him so they just let him get away with everything (basically he is Tom Marvolo Riddle except for the evil part lol). And Isabelle is very popular (like Ginny I guess?) so of course they knew each others. Magnus would totally be like “I cant believe you didnt introduce me to your hot brother. I cant believe I myself never noticed him before. Is he really a student in Hogwarts?”
Ravenclaw Ragnor will be hilarious, also Slytherin Raphael. Catarina is definitely a Hufflepuff. I’m also thinking of Slytherin Prefect Camille. All these characters are very interesting but it’s going to take sometime to fit them in the storyline …
Actually, I would prefer it to be fluffy too~ No saving the world, just high school shenanigans at Hogwarts. Sometimes that is all you need.
Yes! Clary and Jace could just be orbiting out there, far away from the main characters! I really don’t think that in TMI Alec was constantly preoccupied by his crush on Jace, most of the time it was something he was distantly aware of. He didn’t really agonize over it; that was the point of liking Jace- he didn’t need to worry about being out or with the person he liked.
I do think Maryse and Robert were decent parents and in my HP AU for TMI, the Lightwoods are a traditionally Slytherin family as well. Magnus does describe them as “low rent Borgias.” I like your idea that Alec had predicted that Izzy and Jace would get into Slytherin and tried to get in there before them. Alec is a responsible child who does want to make his parents proud, so I think at such a young age, he might not completely understand that his parents will love him no matter what. He still might think affection is based on accomplishments. So I think he would refrain for a while on telling his parents which house he was sorted in. Like the first few letters to home go buy and he never brings it up, just his classes and how great school is, and I think his parents put it together that he never brings his house up.
I just want them being attentive parents!
Camille would definitely be a Slytherin, but to what extent do you think she would be an antagonist? Maybe a well-meaning ex? I always wondered after reading TBC if maybe Camille thought she was doing Magnus a favour by breaking him and Alec up.
So, if Simon is the one to approach Alec, it must take a few years of Alec being by himself. Alec does come off as unfriendly and closed off. I think students did approach him at first but those in his house gave up. So he mostly just hangs out in the library and studies.
I think Izzy and Jace would intend to become Auror, and I think Alec might consider it as a job at first too. But like Hermione, he decides on a field he actually likes and can help people. Maybe he takes a summer internship at some point at Mungo’s or the government?
Ever since reading COHF, I have really wanted Alec and Catarina to meet. She ships Malec~ I think they would also get along well and as Alec got older in canon, they might actually come to resemble one another.
Yes! Ragnor being in Ravenclaw and suddenly having Magnus bother him about the reclusive 5th year student no one likes very much. Or whenever Magnus tries to corner him about Alec, Ragnor just runs off (sort of like in TBC). Raphael would of course find out and mock Magnus for his crush.
I always came to assume that friendships outside of house lines were actively discouraged. House loyalty seems to be really pressured and I wish that aspect had been built on. It seems like if you live with a particular group and are in matches against others, it would really discourage friendships.
I really like the idea of Magnus making his interest in Alec known, which would freak Alec out. I still can’t see him as being very comfortable with any kind of attention (positive or otherwise) and by someone who is very popular as well. And I think that once it became known that Magnus like a certain Ravenclaw, people who start to examine Alec and wonder what is so special about him.
You have no idea how much I want this AU right not (right up there with cisgirl Alec by terresdebrume).
You do know that I’m not going to write this right ……? I really want to write it, but i have no talent in writing, even in my own language. I will just make graphics like this along with some summary/description so people will understand what’s going on.
And you have some very good guess here my friend – some even spot on, but I can’t reveal too much right now *wink* And Catarine & Alec’s relationship would be very interesting, in fact, you just gave me an awesome idea to add in this story.
About Hogwarts houses, i don’t think friendship between houses it’s that rare? Because some still have siblings in other houses. Loyalty is one thing but this is still a school, I dont really think teaching kids to against each other is good education.
To be honest, I never consider myself to be a HP fan, not because of I dislike it, HP is the best thing ever, but because I only know things that in 7 books, I never read anything else, so now I have a lot of research to do & it might takes a lot of time to finish this story :-<
