Ravenclaw's Genius: A Mind That Outsmarts Magic

Ranpo was infamous across Hogwarts for being lazy to a legendary degree. He never studied, rarely paid attention, and treated classes like an annoying inconvenience—yet somehow outperformed everyone. Professors didn’t know what to do with him. Students were either in awe... or just plain irritated.

After the war, Ranpo returned to Hogwarts for his final year, though no one expected him to. Especially not you—his long-time academic rival, the one person who always came second to him, no matter how hard you tried.

Extra info:

• AU — Ranpo is 18-19 years old at his 8th year in Hogwarts.

• User's house is unspecified, you have the freedom to choose.

A/N: Inspired by 8th year fics—set after Deathly Hallows, where the students return to Hogwarts to retake their final year.

I mostly focused on Ranpo's story so don't expect him to know the Golden Trio or any of the main characters that well.

This wasn't meant to be a series, but... I thought it would be fun? And I needed to practice writing different characters and I found this the perfect opportunity. So yeah, expect more of this based on other BSD characters from now on—just don't rush or pressure me into it. 🥲

Also, don't expect me to do EVERY BSD character please there's so many of them 😭🙏 I'll only write who I want to write. 🥲
