Stop, in the name of Love

Mackenzie McKinnon. Please, call me Kenzie, or Kenz. Anything but Mackenzie.

Upon getting back his magic, Donny was relieved, more than anything. He was sure a lot of people were feeling that way, and Donny even forgot about the reason they had all shown up in the first place. It had been so easy for their judgment to get clouded, for them to just drop into something without looking at what it actually was or the full ramifications. Donny had a lot of notes to unpack once everything was said and done, but for the time being, what he needed more than anything was a drink. 

“Well, that went about as well as expected,” he said, turning to Kenzie and Ewan. “The kids are still with their Gran for the rest of the day, and I don’t know about you two, but I could go for some firewhiskey. In fact, a lot of firewhiskey.” Donny patted down his jacket, checking for his wand even though he knew exactly where it was. It was just comforting to know that it was still there, that his magic was still there. 

It had been more frightening than any battle he’d been in during the first war. At least then, he’d had magic, had been able to properly defend himself. Here, he had been completely exposed and it had been terrifying. He didn’t know how to take care of himself without magic. He resolved himself to learning. 

。·:✧:· HER HEART FELT like it was beating out of her chest, sending frustration and fear through her body at an abnormal rate. Losing her magic was one of the most terrifying moments of her life. How could she heal people without magic? She knew that she could go to muggle medical school, but the idea of that wasn’t a good idea in the slightest. Breathing deeply, she reached for her wand, praying it was still there. When she felt her wand in her hand, her body calmed, knowing that she could still somehow, feel the magic coursing through it. 

Kenzie chuckled, nodding a little too excitedly. “I will never say no to firewhiskey. In fact, I could probably drink it by the bottle at this point,” she responded. It’d already been a long week and by some miracle she didn’t have to work the next day. So why shouldn’t she have drinks with some friends? After the day they’d all had as well, why not? It was comforting to know that she had people around that could help her out in these instances. 

All she could hope for now was that this wouldn’t happen again and that whatever happened could be solved or fixed. Kenzie didn’t need anymore issues threatening her life, even though she knew quite a bit would most likely still happen.

。·:✧:· STANDING IN LINE, Kenzie couldn’t help her curiosity. She knew it wouldn’t necessarily go over well, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t intrigued by the entire situation. Crossing her arms over her chest, she tried to peek over the crowd to see if anything happened yet. Kenzie grumbled, realizing that somehow, she was too short. She hoped someone knew something. Turning around, almost hitting them in the face, she noticed who it was. “I was hoping you’d be here!” she stated, bouncing up and down with a grin. “I’m gonna admit. I’m a little scared this will end south. Have you heard anything?”

Athena noticed other people fidgeting in line as they waited to enter the arena, but she stood stock still, her posture ramrod straight and her eyes fixed on the line ahead of her. She was lost in thought, already thinking about the various ways in which this could potentially go wrong and how she was going to have to react to each specific scenario. Athena found it relaxing to go through the motions in her head, to know what hexes would come to the tip of her tongue or what curses were lurking in her subconscious that would invariably come out during a fight. She was so lost in this thought, in fact, that she found herself stepping on someone’s shoe, and before she could look up and apologize, she realized who it was. She took her foot off. “Morning, McKinnon.” 

。·:✧:· WHILE KENZIE UNDERSTOOD the point of this rally, that didn’t stop her from being incredibly annoyed by the entire thing. She knew that things like this could be so incredibly dangerous and she feared for everyone around. But not even that. No, this girl feared for the amount of work she’d have to do when all of this was over. There was a very high chance the hospital would be so busy that she wouldn’t have a second to sit down. As she felt someone step on her shoe, she winced, ready to fight them. When she noticed it was Athena Lestrange, she scrunched up her nose, looking at the girl. Of course she was the one to step on her foot. “Lestrange. Should’ve known it was you.” Shaking her foot, she tried to get a bit of the feeling back in it, as her foot was now asleep. There was something almost suspicious about her being here and Kenzie was intrigued. “What are you doing here? Hoping everything goes wrong?” She asked, scowling.

With his father feeling ill this morning, Reuben agreed to run the shop for the day. School had already started, so he didn’t expect it to be very busy. In fact, if he was lucky, he’d be able to do some of his own research while he was on his own. With a yawn, the wizard waved his wand to unlock the door before looking up at it. “What the-?” he mumbled as he ripped off the flyer that was attached to the front door. “That does not belong there,” he muttered in frustration as he crumpled it up and brought it inside to throw away. Reuben shook his head. This was just another reason that he wished he was still in the woods somewhere. His thoughts became more and more annoyed as he restocked the shelves in thought about this stupid rally. It was sure to get in the way of their work, and he wasn’t looking forward to telling his father about it. However as he let his thoughts get the best of him, the bell on the front door caused him to jump. “Uh.. hi. Sorry. Can I help you with something?” he asked, shifting so that he could see the customer around the shelves.

。·:✧:· EARLIER THAT DAY, Kenzie got herself stuck in a rather sticky situation regarding her wand. She couldn’t tell you how exactly she did this or what exactly happened, because really, it was a whole story. The actual event was still unknown, because it happened all so fast. Because of that, in a lucky happenstance of being allowed to leave early to solve this situation, she found herself walking through Diagon Alley toward Ollivanders. Kenzie grumbled loudly to herself, still mad that all of this happened. She’d tried not to think about it and wanted nothing more than to just go back to work and forget about it. Even seeing all of these fliers everywhere, didn’t stray her. She’d seen them already and was on a mission now. Her footsteps were rather loud, at least to her as she opened the door to the wand shop. Taking a deep breath, she knew she’d have to explain this calmly. “I may have broken my wand and I can’t even tell you how. It’s a whole story of and I’m still mad at the people involved. I’m convinced it’s all their fault and you can’t convince me otherwise,” Kenzie explained, taking her wand out of her cloak, placing it on the counter with a pout on her face.

The small storefront that Athena worked out of had ended up plastered in fliers for the upcoming rally. It was as though they had known that it would irk Athena to no end. As she peeled the fliers from the window methodically, she found herself dreaming of the most wicked, most violent curses she wanted to test. Perhaps it was cruel of her to test on muggleborns and squibs, but would you rather she test on animals? She wasn’t that heartless. 

She swept up the mess of fliers left on the ground carefully, finally tossing the whole heap in the nearby garbage can with a flick of her wand and a low grumble. Of course, she was sure that she would be at the rally, but whether or not she’d be there as herself or in her dark, silky robes, a gift from Riddle himself, as a member of his inner circle. Either way, it would provide an excellent group of targets. 

。·:✧:· THE MORE FLIERS she saw, the more convinced Kenzie was that being at this rally wasn’t a good idea in the slightest. She knew her presence would be more welcomed at the hospital, in case for some reason the rally went horribly. Quite honestly, it wouldn’t surprise her if she didn’t sleep for at least a week after the rally. As she walked through the streets, trying to find a fier still stuck to the windows, Kenzie noticed a girl pulling them off. 

Tilting her head to the side, she was horribly confused. Why would she be pulling them off like that? And then throwing them away? There was something incredibly off about this girl, something that Kenzie wasn’t sure she liked. But naturally, she was curious. She couldn’t help it. Kenzie was curious about everything she shouldn’t have been. “What are you doing?” the healer asked, watching her throw them in the trash.

As soon as news of the rally broke, Adonis was hard at working writing a column for the Daily Prophet. He was known now, as a columnist, for his currently unpopular views on blood purity—that it didn’t matter and that everyone, pureblood, halfblood or muggle-born, deserved the same. He had been getting hate mail as of late, something that he enjoyed more than he would ever care to admit. Maybe that was just the masochist in him. 

That was why he found himself furiously writing in a notebook as he sat on a bench near the broom store in Diagon Alley. He had spent hours there, listening to what everyone had to say about what was going on, and he was now cataloging and collating all of it along with his own thoughts on the issue. When he got like this, getting him to look up could be like trying to rouse the dead. 

。·:✧:· ON HER WAY to pick up a few supplies to make one of her favorite lotions, Kenzie noticed quite a few whispers through Diagon Alley. She hadn’t paid enough attention to much, but she blamed that on the fact that she was stuck in a hospital during most of the exciting events in the world. There was something suspicious going on and something that she hoped wouldn’t make a mess of things. She stepped into the Apothecary, purchasing the potions she’d needed, and slipped into Flourish and Blotts for the newest book on creating items for the body. Her hands desperately needed it. 

With the weather surprisingly wonderful to her, she found herself sitting on a bench. She’d tried not to pay attention to the person sitting next to her, but she couldn’t help the curiosity inside her. It wasn’t the time to just sit and relax, but Kenzie wasn’t sure if she wanted to know what the fliers really said or what everyone thought the plan was. She could barely get through her book before she started stressing. Pulling her knees up to her chest, Kenzie took a deep breath and just watched everyone, hoping they’d make her feel a bit better or at least a little more calm.

flcamont​:

He wasn’t surprised when he and Lyall ended up getting assigned civilian security detail almost immediately after the news of the rally spread from Diagon Alley. Fleamont was a little annoyed, considering that a rally for blood equality seemed like something he wanted to be at as a civilian, not an auror, but if he had to show up in the practical brown trenchcoat, then he would. He picked up one of the now-dirtied fliers from the ground and regarded it with a furrow to his brow. 

Something about this felt a little sudden—if the Order wasn’t organizing this, then who would? It was a dilemma, and Fleamont found himself racking his brain for ideas on how would want to run a rally for blood equality. However, the flier seemed legitimate, and there was a real address to which to send owl queries, so he supposed he should just keep his mouth shut. 

。·:✧:· AFTER HER SHIFT, Kenzie couldn’t help herself. She had to know what was happening. But her biggest worry was her parents. They were the kind of people that would go and investigate something like this, just to see what was happening. Clenching her fists together, she walked through the streets, trying to find them. But the healer was having no luck, whatsoever. Her heart raced as she continued walking through the streets, hoping to find someone that could give her some insight into what would happen. Upon seeing someone off in the distance, she headed toward them. Lifting her head, she bit the corner of her lip, sighing softly. “Do you know what’s happening here exactly? Or why? I have a feeling my parents will get themselves into a right pickle as a result of this.”

     @kmckinnxn​

     People travelled fast and news, faster, in this damned community. Ravenna was not one to get caught up in gossip and hearsay ( key word being caught ) but she had to play her part, fit in with the rest of the healers who couldn’t stop talking about it. She’d tried already to change the subject but it appeared to be following her around; eventually, she embraced it. “You’ve heard?” she spoke softly, the patient was finally asleep and the other woman was close enough to hear her perfectly. Her wand moved slowly over the still face between them, casting a routinary silent spell. Ravenna shook her head slowly, feigning the most credible of regrets before clicking her tongue. “I wonder how many people will be there,” she hummed.

。·:✧:·  LIFTING HER HEAD from the patient’s bed, she turned to Ravenna. Naturally, she’d guessed what the other nurse was about to say. She didn’t really want to think of anything outside of the hospital at the moment, especially in regards to that topic. Her parents were most likely in the area, not necessarily at the rally, but keeping an eye on it. “I heard the other nurses talking about it.” Biting the corner of her lip, she turned her head back to look at the patient, making sure they were indeed asleep, despite the silent spell. “I hope not a lot. These never go well. Someone always gets hurt. I just hope my parents haven’t actually decided to go.”

☆ ( alexandra daddario, cis female, she/her) ☆ that over there would be ( mackenzie mckinnon ), the ( 29 ) year old ( pureblood ) who ( did ) fight during the global wizarding war. they attended ( hogwarts ) and are a ( gryffindor ) alum. which is fitting considering they are ( adventurous ), yet ( stubborn ). they are an ( order of the phoenix member ) and also work as a ( healer ). every time i see them, it’s like ( the way i are by timbaland ) is playing in my head. ( late night coffee runs, running at top speeds to save a life & spitfire sass if you’re in her way ). ☆ 

this beautiful angel is not always very angelic, but it’s quite alright. 

biography: 

mackenzie marie mckinnon was born to a very proud pureblood family. her parents, marianna and phillip met at hogwarts and were sweethearts. their hearts were set on each other from the very beginning. both families approved of the union. everything was perfect. they couldn’t have asked for anything better. the wedding was huge and full of life. and before they knew it, they had this beautiful daughter. they named her mackenzie and brought her up to be respectful, kind and to follow the rules. 

while her parents were purebloods and tried their best to uphold the pureblood values, they never forced it upon her or required that she follow any type of strict guideline. 

but from a very young age, mackenzie was rebellious and the exact opposite of what they’d desired. she was loud, constantly got messy and was so sassy that neither knew what to do. but there was one thing they absolutely loved about their daughter. she was so incredibly passionate in everything she did. it didn’t matter what it was, she wouldn’t stop until it was done.

her parents love her with all their heart and they’d never wish anything bad upon her. they just wish she would chill out sometimes and stop making a big deal about everything. it definitely got her into quite a lot of trouble in school.

mackenzie hated being called mackenzie. she always felt it made her sound like some royal princess and she never wanted to be a princess. no, she wanted to be a warrior or a doctor or something that would show people how helpful and powerful she could be. so, it was kenzie, or kenz. the only people who are allowed to call her mackenzie without getting hexed are her parents. she rarely introduces herself as mackenzie anymore either. 

during school, she did very well, knowing that any job she wanted, she’d need good grades. she was on the quidditch team, but still managed to find friends that loved to pull pranks and have the best time. her parents constantly worried that her getting in trouble and getting into detention would cause her grades to fall, but it never did. kenzie made sure her grades stayed high, even though she liked to cause trouble.

the amount of howlers this girl received, should’ve been some kind of record, but she laughed them off every time, because aside from getting into detention for pulling pranks and having a blast, she was an exceptional student. so where was the issue?

after hogwarts, she took a year and travelled around europe and africa, trying to sort her life out. kenzie had no idea what she wanted to do. there were so many options and so many things her parents wanted her to be. but it wasn’t until she stopped in a small village in africa that she knew what her purpose was. there were so many young kids, sick, losing their families. kenzie couldn’t take it. she vowed to do everything she could to make sure they had the best chance possible.

kenzie then became a healer without any hesitation. her entire life is devoted to making sure everyone else has the best chance they can get. 

personality: 

kenzie is so full of sass. she’s got a comeback for almost everything and doesn’t like to take no for an answer. she will stick with something until she gets exactly what she wants out of it, no matter what. this can be very troublesome for her, but she doesn’t care. kenzie is the type of girl you can call at 3 am for an adventure and she’ll be right there. but this may also be because she’s a complete and total insomniac. but she adores adventure, fun and excitement. if you can’t find her, she’s probably off doing something that could very well be dangerous. she fully believes life isn’t worth living if you’re not having a blast doing it. if you’re her friend, she will protect you until the end of the earth and fight for you harder than most people. don’t get into an argument with her, ‘cause i’m telling you, this girl won’t back down. but because of this, she has lost quite a few friends. kenzie is very stern and aggressive when she’s trying to defend a friend or even herself. this is part of her problem. she doesn’t always know how to chill.
