( cis man | he/him | richard madden / utp ) —— isn’t that MALCOLM MACDONALD? yeah that is them, outside the three broomsticks! they used to be in UTP but apparently they now work as a SQUAD LEADER with the ACCIDENTAL MAGICAL REVERSAL SQUAD. sybill once said that they reminded her of at least four aesthetics which seems about right. anyway i’ve heard they’re still a bit RECKLESS, CRUEL and JOVIAL they’re TWENTY SEVEN - THIRTY TWO (YOUNGER THAN MORGAN) now but some things never change! i wonder how being a HALFBLOOD is affecting them after hogwarts, especially now they’re a DEATH EATER? i guess only time will tell…
mary isn’t the first wix in their family line, not by a long shot. unbeknownst to her and her parents, the branch of their family stemming from her father’s uncle iain, which long had a reputation for being interesting where all that and more. iain being a muggleborn wizard that started the new halfblood macdonald family when he took a pureblood wife. the side of the family that gave rise to magnus ‘dent-head’ macdonald, long known to mary as MAD COUSIN MAGNUS.
malcolm is magnus’s second child and youngest son, a hot headed scot like his father its little surprise the two often find themselves at odds. perhaps what would be surprising, if it was widely known, would be just how far that division cuts — maybe not to the bone but to the dark mark malcolm bears. stuck between an older brother who’s an auror, and staunchly with the order, and a younger sister clinging to neutrality, the tensions in the wider macdonald family are nearing boiling point. helped in no small part by malcolm’s equally wild thing of a cousin, mary. a person his sister couldn’t care less about but who malcolm, morgan and magnus find a rare common ground — the need to protect them from this war that’s already hit a little too close.
mary macdonald: mary and malcolm get on like a house on fire, are highly likely to set a house on fire if left together unsupervised for too long but such a thing serves only to drive a close bond between the two. a shared coarseness between the pair (that could be called an acquired taste by a charitable soul) leads both to their closeness in personality and nature and yet also is the source of a secret that if unveiled would force the cousins apart. while malcolm might be a death eater, he also believes there should be an exception to every rule and his exception is his muggleborn cousin. the young wix he baby sat as a wean, who’s first big show of accidental magic he was witness to, who’s fire he thinks should never be extinguished — maybe just hidden away for a spell? if mary could just make themself less of a target his job would be a lot easier, and yet what would he do in the same situation...
morgan macdonald: it is a rare sight to see the brothers in a room together these days that doesn’t end with one storming out, rarer still when you add their father into the mix, but things had never been smooth sailings between morgan and malcolm. morgan the elder and more sensible of the pair to malcolm’s loose cannon of an approach to life things have only been exasperated by what’s become an open secret between the pair: their vastly differing stances on the war they’ve both found themselves in. but that division also plays into the common ground that sometimes seems the only thing they can agree on. that that secret stays between them and that they’ll both do anything to protect their family. both little jeannie who keeps her head down and little mary who they both played a part in babysitting summers home from hogwarts.
jeannie macdonald: to ask jeannie, malcolm was the kind of brother that was fun to have as a kid but who really is well past growing up. malcolm on the other hand would claim jeannie has grown into being a right stick in the mud. but while there might be an undercurrent of tension between the two they’re still siblings, still have each other’s backs. even if jeannie might wish malcolm didn’t extend the same courtesy to their cousin mary, and if malcolm wished that jeannie would show a little compassion.
isaiah brinan: malcolm is, by all accounts, one of the biggest storms to shake up isaiah’s life under the foster care of the macdonalds. and malcolm's always been the fun one, sure. eager from day one to tell isaiah how excited he was to have a little brother figure in his life -- and maybe that shows too much at times. isaiah is nothing like malcolm, he's patient and reserved and eager to make others happy. but malcolm seems to forget that, bringing isaiah in on schemes or events isaiah'd otherwise be the voice of reason against if it were anyone but malcolm. but because it is him, and he is, to most extents, a positive figure in both his and mary’s lives, isaiah’s not finding himself eager to draw a line between them any time soon.
