1970s Album

Before the War that destroyed them all, they were students of Hogwarts. They were young Wizards and Witches that laughed and cried within the castle walls. They were young students who loved, hated and made the choice that dictated their future. And they were the generation who survived and lived, loved and hated, cried and laughed. They were the generation filled with hope for the future.

Do you also do Headcanons? Can you do one of Mary MacDonald? You don't seem to have more memories of her. Please.

I apologize for not having any memories this past month. I’ve been busy and lost a little of my inspiration. Just a reminder, you can send me photos or memories. Thanks.

Mary MacDonald lived in a world where she was caged for being who she was. There wasn’t any place for her in either world. She was female, a black woman and a muggleborn. The Wizarding world never cared for the second, but for them, being a muggleborn is worse than being black.

Mary was taught at a very young age that she had to fight for her future. She has to work to get anything out of life.

When a woman came to her doorstep and said that she was a witch, she was appalled. Her mother threw McGonagall out of their apartment and shouted at her.

It took McGonagall a couple of tries to appease the mother and child and that what she meant by Witch was a literal magical being.

Mary loves trying on make-ups. She loves doing make-ups of friends.

Mary’s mom does multiple jobs for them to live a happy life. She’s always tired, but she would always be there for Mary when she needs her. Make-up time was their ‘bonding time’ where they would be girly and talk about life.

Mary’s mom is a single mom whose partner left her when she was pregnant. She remarried a kind teacher when Mary was on her second year.

Mary was assaulted on her fourth year but she got back up. She was traumatized but she tried to not let it get to her. She didn’t even tell her parents about it.

Her parents found out about it because of McGonagall informing them of it at the end of fifth year because she was still having ‘nightmares’.When they heard of it, they pulled her out of Hogwarts and instated her back to the muggle world.

Mary and her family were obliviated of everything regarding Hogwarts. She has modified memories of her friends - thanks to the others’ influence - but she was void of all things magic.

She remembered Benjy Fenwick, her boyfriend since fourth year. They split up a year after she left Hogwarts. The reason from him was because their long distance relationship was hard to maintain but it was because the war was starting to unfold and he didn’t want her to be a victim again.

Mary’s name means ‘beloved’ and she was truly loved. She loved with all her heart, more than she could. She loved purely and unconditionally. She knew that life wasn’t black or white - she knew how evil a person could be, but she was never without hope that everything would be okay. Because of that, the others tried to protect her from the evils of the world. They loved her because she loved them even though they felt they didn’t deserved to be loved.

She was likened by Lily as the Susan Pevensie of Gryffindor. She was lost but Hogwarts will always be there to welcome her home when she was ready.

Someone who’s black or supports black people and their human rights. it literally says that in the description. “You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and you’re for us.”

if sirius black loved his brother more than he hated his family:

sirius who held back his tears as he hugged his brother before boarding hogwarts express

sirius who received a howler after being sorted to gryffindor and receiving another letter from curious regulus who didn’t hate him for being in another house but wondering what will happen if he got sorted in slytherin

sirius who assured his brother that he’d never leave him, house colors be damned

sirius who writes letter nearly every day to regulus and regulus hiding those letters under the floor boards but them being his greatest treasure

sirius who offers the tempting apple of knowledge about muggles to his brother

sirius who talks about hogwarts and gryffindor and his friends

sirius who writes more and more about his friends than his day

sirius who reads about his brother’s day and wondering what’s wrong because he knows there’s something wrong even if he doesn’t say it

sirius who returns home after first year and faces his mother’s screams and father’s disappointment but at night, regulus sneaks into his room, bright eyed and full of love for him.

sirius’ face reflecting the same.

sirius who couldn’t sit with his brother on the way to hogwarts because his cousins took him away so he wouldn’t be influenced

sirius sulking the whole way

sirius holding his breath during the sorting because his brother’s sorting was taking too long and the sorting hat wasn’t shouting slytherin just yet there’s still a chance

sirius being disappointed but clapping and cheering for his brother who looks back at him with the same bright eyes

sirius supporting his brother even though he is slytherin and that means dark in his books

sirius making sure the snakes don’t corrupt his bright eyed brother

sirius being jealous of snape who gets to sit with his brother and talk with him

sirius being smug when he is still the one his brother goes to

sirius not knowing how much his brother was staking by interacting with him

sirius not being amused when he learns his brother is being bullied by slytherin for running to him

sirius pranking everyone but his brother

sirius cornering gryffindors who thinks its okay to try and bully his brother

sirius supporting his brother in quidditch

sirius having a hard time choosing between his friends and his brother

sirius choosing his brother who has such bright eyes that he won’t let the slytherin house dim

just imagine sirius black who loved his brother even if he wore a different colored tie

imagine sirius black who hates his family but he loves his brother more than that hate

sirius black who learns his brother died because he backed out of death eater brigade

sirius blames himself because he should have protected his brother

he should have stopped him from becoming a death eater in the first place

but it was either sirius or regulus and the former wouldn’t take the mark and the latter would sacrifice himself so his brother wouldn’t be forced to

and sirius tries to remember his bright eyed brother

and sirius remembers the last time he saw his brother, with sunken eyes and slouched back

and sirius hates himself because he should have pulled him aside and forced him to dumbledore’s office

and sirius adds his brother’s name in the guilt he carries

and when he shouts he killed them after james and lily’s death, regulus was part of ‘them’

because just like he offered wormtail as the secret keeper to james and lily, he hadn’t offered the same protection to his brother and look at where it got him

sirius black who loved his brother never knew how he really died

sirius black who loved his brother but felt some part of shame about him and his dark mark never knew his brother died a hero

“Uh… what are they doing?”

“James! Sirius!”

“Haha, can’t keep up, Pads?”

“Look, I’m a grown ass man and I can’t fit in this thing. Let me get my bike and we’ll see who’s faster.”

“Nope. Haha.”

“That, Harry, is your Dad and Uncle Pads. Don’t grow up to be like them.”

“Da Pa!”

"Pandora Rivers, beautiful as always.”

“It’s Lovegood now, actually. And I see the Umgubular Slashkilter finally left you, Diggory. Your wife is certainly a good influence. I hope you keep on rinsing your mouth with salt water and washing with juice extracts. It keeps them away.”

“Er.”

Pandora Rivers-Lovegood with Amos Diggory after meeting again after so long. Apparently, he used to have the Umgubular Slashkilter attached to him but was now gone.
