I’m very excited for the last volume of DTBPF coming out this month, so have a TGCF au in the meantime. Who’s *more* likely to betray himself for the sake of food, Li Yu or He Xuan?

Wish you a very Happy Birthday. I love your siat Cassius and George. May I have something of them please! Lots of love
His family’s politics are built on survival.
Cassius understands it - to a point. They didn’t join Grindewald. They didn’t pledge Loyalty to Voldemort. They’ve never been anything but mocking and dismissive of Dumbledore.
His family has guarded their neutrality even to their own detriment. Refusing to align themselves means none of them go very far in politics, no matter the faction in control. Several of his family members have died for refusing to take a stand when war comes - from both sides.
The Weasleys and the Prewetts are have never been neutral.
They’re all liberal, and always have been, back when they had the money and power for that to piss a lot of people off. It’s part of the reason they’ve lost it. They can’t even make themselves stick to ideology, always taking up their wands and their swords and sticking themselves on the front of every battle line.
It’s how they’d gotten their power, initially. Godric Gryffindor had been a fan of both lines.
A son of Arthur Weasley and Molly Prewett can never be anything but exactly what he was born to be.
Cassius knows this. He knows it so well that it stays his hands and his heart every time they want to stray.
He too is a product of his family’s choices. If he chooses George, he either makes a target out of the people who raised him or forces them to cut ties with him entirely. They might not be at war now but peace never lasts.
They’ve given up more than a son for their neutrally. He knows what they’ll choose.
He’s proven right. Peace ends. Voldemort returns. It’s time for his family to raise their wands in defense of never having to choose.
Cassius knows he can never ask George to be anything but exactly who he is.
In the middle of platform 9 Âľ, right in front of his mother, Cassius chooses to be someone else instead.
