I Do Not Own DC or it's Characters
Closet Potterheads…
Jason Todd was many things:
-Gun/weapons enthusiast (you get murdered, come back to life, live a life of getting shot at and see how you stood on gun use)
-Mechanic (he liked figuring out how shit worked, from bombs to cars, and it helped him be prepared for anything)
-Trained Assassin (perhaps he didn't broadcast that like the brat did but he was an assassin, and demon spawn's own mother had trained him)
-Overall badass (no denying the obvious)
-Detective (not to the degree Replacement was, but he was a detective)
-Reformed Killer (kind of tied in with the gun enthusiast and assassin, however he didn't kill everyone anymore, he was trying to be good again)
-Survivor (he had grown up in Crime Alley, been brutally murdered and blown up, then beaten death and trained by the League of Assassins, he had fucking earned that title)
-And the lunatic dating a interdimensional half-demon/sorceress (and he was called lunatic for this by said girlfriend, and most his family, and their teams)
He Was Not A Geek Or Nerd Though!
Nope, it would ruin the overall badass title he'd earned, he wasn't like Dickhead who loved every possible movie and had every fact for them, he was not like Replacement who loved Comic Con and would dress up for it, and he wasn't like the demon spawn who was in love with Marvel movies and argued about it with the Superbrat. Nope, he was not a Geek, or a Nerd.
He was a book enthusiast though.
He loved classics, horror, mystery, fantasy, adventure, action, humor, nonfiction, fiction, preteen adult, and kid novels, (he'd even read romance if it had a story). Jason had a particular fondness for the Harry Potter novels, they were epic! Even Raven agreed they were awesome, Raven! And he had joined pottermore just simply because he could not get enough of the entire world of Harry Potter, Raven and he had joined at the same time so he didn't feel so weird about it.
He was a Slytherin (yeah, he was still trying to figure that out), but Raven was a Ravenclaw which had him thinking that the test might be a bit accurate. He was a Wampus (which was a bit accurate in his mind), Raven was in Pukwudgie. And yes he had gotten a wand and a patronus, and no he was never telling anyone aside from Raven what he'd gotten. Good thing his girlfriend was just as quiet of a Potterhead as he was else he'd have just felt weird about even mentioning the love of Potter books he had.
But that wasn't what brought him to today as he stood in the frigid cold of New York City's ferocious November, with Raven who had her nose stuck in J.K. Rowling's newest Potter book, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child -Parts I & II (the play that he and Raven had raced to read on July 31st when they'd bought it, wisely they bought two copies so they didn't do bodily harm to one another). They were here for the midnight premiere of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. He'd surprised Raven with the tickets, he'd bought those far ahead of time, knowing that this movie was going to worth it and worth every hour of the cold he'd endure. Raven had insisted they dress in their house colors, and you know what, he did it because it was fun and it wasn't often he did stupid, dorky things for his girl.
"I'm so excited," Raven smiled as she bounced a little as she looked up as they walked to the door. he chuckled as he kept a hand on the small of her back so he didn't lose her or have her trip because she was reading.
"Apparently, you're making the lights bloom," he mused noticing how everything was brightening with the force of Raven's powers.
"You're excited too, don't deny it," she elbowed him.
"Never said I wasn't," he assured her.
"This is going to be so much fun!" she bounced. Yes, Raven bounced, she didn't do it often but when it came to a book she loved she'd bounce. He got the popcorn and drinks as Raven got their seats; good ones too, up high, and he laughed at her glee as the theatre filled. Jason didn't normally do midnight premieres, however, he was glad he made the exception.
Best fucking movie he'd seen in a long time! The characters, the art, the story, the humor! Jason was plotting a re-watch of it as he walked out with Raven on his arm.
"When can we see it again!?" she whispered excitedly.
"How about after Thanksgiving," he proposed.
"Yes!" she grinned as she continued her bouncing.
"Raven? Jason?" a voice called after them, he and Raven both looked over their shoulders to see Tim, Dick, Stephanie, Damian, Cass, and Barbara.
"What the hell are you doing in New York?" he asked incredulously because he couldn't believe what he was seeing, maybe if he was in Gotham and this happened he wouldn't be so surprised but this was New York City for fucksake!
"The premiere, Wayne appearance," Tim answered. "You?"
"Movie," Raven said as they walked over to his brothers. He wasn't thrilled about this, but Raven was friends with his brothers, and he accepted it with great reluctance. The only reason he wasn't a raging jealous boyfriend was Raven was so fucking indifferent to men and their affections until it came to him. He was pretty sure that she'd never leave him, but there was that small part of him that argued she'd leave one day.
"Oh my God! You're Potterheads!" Stephanie shrieked in delight.
"What!?" he roared. Then remembered the green and silver scarf he was wearing and Raven's blue and silver one, plus Raven was holding her book. Well fuck!
"Awesome! I'm in Gryffindor!" Stephanie shouted.
"I can see," Raven remarked as Stephanie flaunted her red and gold dress, and scarf. Raven was dragged off by Damian, Tim and Stephanie, Cass followed as they chatted.
"Slytherin?" Dick asked with a smile.
"Got a problem with it, Hufflepuff?" Jason growled seeing yellow and black were Dick's colors.
"You're a potterhead!" Barbara giggled.
"Shut up Barbie," he snapped, noting that Barbara was also in Hufflepuff colors.
"Which book was the best?"
"The Seventh, Snape was the best," Jason replied automatically.
"Geek!" Dick announced gleefully.
"I am not!"
"You so are!"
"I will shoot you," Jason warned.
"After all this time?"
"Always!"
"Potterhead!" Dick and Barbara sang.
"I hate you!"
The actual prompt was geeking out over something but this came to mind instead.
That's all for now folks!
Enjoy Something Just Like This! =)
