It’s a shame that the boys never got to meet the twins, Ron or Ginny. I mean, he met them, but no one stays the same as they were as a toddler. 

He would think the twins were bonafide geniuses. The pranks are a bit much some days, but the skill and ingenuity behind them is honestly impressive. Neither of them can talk poorly about them having strange jobs either. 

Ron would have beaten his own uncles at wizard chess by Christmas of his fourth year. Easily. They sneak him a drink for it. He’s a genuinely skilled tactician and while they both expect to lose more often than not they make a point of challenging him now and again, just to remind him.

Fabian would be beside himself if Ginny showed an interest in Quidditch. He lived and breathed it as a boy and wouldn’t stand for her brothers implying she shouldn’t play. He’s on a first name basis with more female players than he can shake a stick at. 

And Gideon, the duelist, doesn’t know WHERE she picked up her hexes but is proud all the same. Despite Molly’s wishes he’d want to take her outside, teach her how to duel properly. No niece of his will have a wonky technique...and who’s to say he will remember he shouldn’t be teaching her low-level curses? 

Just?? 

THEY WERE ROBBED OF SO MUCH

The Crew

Quartermaster - Arabella - Siren

She and Max argued and butted heads on nearly everything. Max trusted her with her life and with her crew. Arabella used her siren abilities to get them out of plenty of trouble. Occasionally to get them into some. When Max chose to retire from piracy, she left the ship with Arabella. They still cross paths every now and then. They still can’t agree on anything.

Boatswain - Fred - Fae

"Call me Fred. Like Winnifred.” The first thing she’d ever said to Max. Whatever Fred’s real name is, Max is sure it isn’t Winnifred. But it didn’t matter. What mattered was that she was a capable sailor and she was looking to cause trouble and saw this as her best option. The fae are finnicky, but Max knows Fred loved the crew-- she knows it because Fred checked in on Ash at least twice in the last two centuries, though neither have heard from her in at least 80 years. Their best guess is she’s gone back to the fae realm and lost track of time. They hope that’s the case anyway.

“Surgeon” - Maduka - Healer

Maduka was a friend of Ash’s before the pirate days and only joined the crew because Ash asked. But he was a talented healer and while healing isn’t outside of Ash’s magic, they wanted someone who was an expert. Maduka was the expert they desperately needed. He was arguably one of the most level headed members of the crew. Max hears he joined Doctors without Borders-- over and over under different names. She’s glad he’s still using his skills, and for arguably better causes.

Sailing Master - Sydney Walter Jones - Human

Syd wasn’t the only human ever on the crew, but it was rare. He made a shit deal with Fred that landed him as their sailing master. He was formerly a member of the British Royal Navy and Fred tricked him into gambling with her. He was fully, extremely human and had no idea what he was getting into. He hated it at first. Never wanted to be a pirate. But he was also extremely, incredibly gay, and when he realized that not a single person on the crew gave a shit about that, he warmed up to them a lot faster. He had a crush on Ash for a long time. He stayed on the crew longer than most others. When Ash and Max had both left, he was still there.
