𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 : anyone ! / 𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 : anywhere forbidden - ish ! @lumosreblogs

“ LOOK – LISTEN , ” cal begins , voice a little shaky and knees bouncing up and down relentlessly . “ i’m not really sure i should be here . ” he gulps , eyes landing on every bit of the room in total paranoia , for a gryffindor he was quite fearful – it wasn’t really his fault . he was just made to feel everything intensely . and unfortunately , everything included fear . “ i mean – isn’t there a rule or something ? there probably is . and i’m probably breaking it right now ! ” he exclaims , eyes widening in heightened anxiety .

it was understandable the boy felt on edge; being a gryffindor in the slytherin common room, callum didn’t exactly fit in. but then again, neither did ted. he lifted his eyes from his book, studying the boy with a hint of amusement. and they said gryffindors were supposed to be brave. ❛ — relax. you’re not breaking any rules. ❜ one glance at the mess of books and papers in front of the boy told him this was supposed to be a study session, but it looked as though his study partner had scarpered, leaving all the work to the gryffindor. a classic slytherin move. ted was just impressed they’d had the balls to ditch him in their own common room. ❛ — let me GUESS. first time in the slytherin common room ? ❜

｢ 𝐟𝐭. 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐤. ｣

WITH: open ! / WHERE: owlery / @lumosreblogs

early mornings spent on the hogwarts grounds were always the most peaceful , the ravenclaw boy holding a particular fondness for the kind of stillness that came when the rest of the world was asleep . on this particular morning , benjy was sitting on the low wall just outside the owlery , with a rollie resting between his lips and his sketchpad in hand . most people weren’t inclined to be up this early and his moments of solitude , especially the chance to sketch the creatures inhabiting the tower , were precious to benjy .

he looked up at the sound of approaching footsteps , startled by the appearance of another student at this hour . “ oi , give a guy some warning next time , won’t ya ? ” he took another drag of his rollie , throwing a pointed look in their direction before tossing the stick off the tower . “ would’ve offered you a drag , but , you know , gotta destroy the evidence . wouldn’t want you bringing this up to flitwick the next time you see him . ”

｢ 𝐟𝐭. 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐝. ｣

mary’s eyebrows rose in indignation as she tugged her cardigan tighter around her, shivering with the cool morning air of the castle. ❛ — i’m not going to grass on you, ❜ she informed him, sounding almost offended. ❛ — do i LOOK like a prefect ? ❜ her gaze drifted to his sketchpad with poorly disguised curiosity, but she didn’t ask. ❛ — besides, if i’d expected anyone up here this early, i’d have worn makeup. so maybe you should give a GIRL some warning next time. ❜

❛ — listen, you have to help me, ❜ mary exclaimed, skidding to a stop in front of the first person she saw in the hogwarts courtyard, her long-lashed dark eyes wide. ❛ — cattermole just dumped his girlfriend, which like, five second rule, right ? he’s totally fair game now, and you know i’m always up for a little rebound fun – and besides, she was cheating on HIM ! with griffiths, if you can believe that – i mean, his nose is to DIE for but i never thought he’d make much of a sidepiece, did you ? but anyways, she’s PROPER mad now and i don’t know how to fight so you either need to hide me or teach me how to fight before she finds me, because her nails are way longer than me and she could EASILY claw my eyes out. ❜ // @lumosreblogs

it’s been 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 since the 𝐦𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 wizard, 𝐄𝐃𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃 '𝐓𝐄𝐃' 𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐊𝐒 was sorted into 𝐬𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧 upon arriving at hogwarts. i suppose over the years we’ve learnt that he is 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜, 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭, 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 & 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥, i guess that’s why they were sorted where they were. ( 𝑐𝘩𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑒 𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑒. )

𝐀𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒 !

boy forgotten: oil on canvas. a remnant of softness in a practice-makes-perfect chrysalis. snake skin, muggle blood. a threadbare jacket worn as armour, polished veneer marred only by that chip on your shoulder. tongue fluent in loopholes and sharp as sin. wind-chapped knuckles smoothed by herbal lotion, wind-chapped lips sweetened by honey and apple. sea glass worn smooth, turned over and over in your pocket. black tea past midnight. cold fingers, warm eyes, and a quicksilver smile. the smoke of a candle blown out. a skeptic’s wish. a study in dichotomy: are you the wolf, my dear, or are you his prey ? fingers stained with newspaper ink, the first thawing of spring ice, and hand-me-down hope you haven’t quite taught yourself to forget.

𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 !

i. NFWMB - hozier.

ii. COLD BLOOD - bruno major.

from the moment edward tonks was born, he was ted. just ted. it suited him better, the scrawny premature baby that he was, born into a family not made of money, but something that was equal parts desperation and love. there was no glory or glamour to the tonks name, merely a cramped apartment in dublin with windows that looked onto smokestacks and old churches.

ted’s family didn’t have much, and they had even less when his dad left their family when ted was only ten for a woman he’d been seeing on the side

suffice to say ted doesn’t like his father very much.

so his mother was left working double shifts bagging groceries at tesco to try and provide for ted & his younger sister nora ( five years younger than ted so she was five when their dad left, and sixteen now ), and ted helped out as much as he could

he didn’t grow up in a super wealthy part of dublin, and so his elementary school was underfunded and understaffed, the teachers overworked and the students unmotivated, but ted was the kid who everyone expected to make something of himself.

he was creative, and idealistic, and not yet burdened by the weight of the world, and he dreamed of becoming a writer. he wrote with abandon and passion and drive. creative short stories, thoughtful op-ed pieces, tongue-in-cheek poetry, drawing inspiration from the most unlikely of places. he actually got some of his work published in a young authors collection !

and then his dad left, and then hogwarts happened, and as quickly as ted learned what the wizarding world was, he learned what it meant to be a muggleborn in the wizarding world. especially a lower income muggleborn. especially a lower income muggleborn slytherin. and he stopped writing as much.

he kept his head high though, proud and stubborn as fuck, and kept his hand-me-down uniform impeccably ironed and washed and folded neatly in his drawer. and although he might have felt out of place in slytherin at first, there’s no other place he could be. he is ambitious and ��clever and self-preserving and resourceful and competitive and charming and ruthless and family-oriented.

and when he got prefect, he wore that badge with pride on top of his slytherin robes. takes no shit but does no harm. he especially keeps an eye out for the few other slytherin muggleborns at hogwarts.

but for that matter, he’s considerate and warm but like … he won’t go out of his way to stand up for muggleborn rights or anything. it’s that Politics Mood where no matter what he does, it never seems to make a difference. so in typical slytherin fashion he’s just focusing on himself now, aiming to get a cushy job in the ministry and support his

he’s a little bit over-focused on money but that’s what happens when you don’t grow up with it. like he’d absolutely take a lucrative but boring job he doesn’t like over a poorly paying job he loves ( right now at least ). he’s cynical like that. gone are the dreams of becoming a writer, ted wants those galleonsss

some more random stuff:

lawful neutral in the most slytherin way possible. this boy knows how to find loopholes

capricorn sun cancer moon: aka tough on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside.

likes tea but not coffee

jewish ! don’t get him started on how hogwarts only has breaks for the christian holidays lmao

it’s been 𝐬𝐢𝐱 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 since the 𝐦𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 witch, 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐃 was sorted into 𝐠𝐫𝐲𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫 upon arriving at hogwarts. i suppose over the years we’ve learnt that she is 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝, 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭, i guess that’s why they were sorted where they were. ( 𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑎 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑟. )

𝐀𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒 !

rose-glossed lips sweet from peach schnapps, wishing on a firefly when the night is overcast, re-organizing your room for the third time that week, the warm touch of a hand when words fail, buttery croissants in a sun-dappled cafe, and the realization you’ve grown too big for your childhood bed.

𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 !

i. MIRROR BALL - taylor swift.

ii. A LITTLE BIT ALEXIS - schitt’s creek / annie murphy.

character inspo includes: tahani al-jamil ( the good place ), alexis rose ( schitt’s creek ) rachel green ( friends ), vilde lien hellerud ( skam ), elle woods ( legally blonde ), ty lee ( a:tla ), amy march ( little women ), charlotte la bouff ( princess and the frog ), galinda upland ( wicked )

mary macdonald was brought up rich. rich in money and rich in support & love. she was the only child of charles and nancy macdonald, a fairly wealthy english couple. they weren’t like, obscenely wealthy. there were no butlers ironing the morning paper, or private planes. but they were the sort of wealthy that gets taken for granted – growing up, mary never wanted for anything. she’s used to vacationing somewhere warm and historic every summer. picture mcmansions, suburban pta meetings, disney princess movies, dressing up nice for sundays at church.

her parents were very much involved in her childhood, and always supported her throughout every twist and turn in her life. she’s always been very open with her parents and tells them everything. usually.

she also did child beauty pageants when she was little. adults adored her. the word darling was frequently heard to describe mary macdonald. it’s definitely shaped who she is as a person – frequently competitive, a little desperate for validation, often too concerned about appearances, always knows how to pull on a winning smile even when you just want to go home and cry. #relatable

but the love and support in her childhood has also shaped who she is. her spoiled upbringing has gifted her with an indefatigable sense of optimism and an inability to take no for an answer. she lives in a world where everything can be solved and everything has its place. her parents’ faith & religion has taught her to believe in the genuine good of humanity, and that if you do good things, you will be rewarded.

fast forward to 1971, when mary turned fourteen, and learned she was a witch. her parents almost didn’t want to send her to hogwarts, but mary was so excited by the idea that they couldn’t possibly say no to their little girl. so off she went, bundled up in a burberry jacket and scarf, armed with the best supplies diagon alley had to offer. she was definitely that obnoxious kid with the gold scales. mary’s parents didn’t mean to spoil her rotten, they were just sending their daughter to this place they knew nothing about for several months and this was the best way they knew to protect her. they also sent her daily letters and weekly care packages for her entire first term in first year. wow

she was sorted into gryffindor upon arriving & immediately began to make friends, thanks to her chatty & cheery nature. and also thanks to her need to have everyone she meets like her. they didn’t, of course – i’d like to say most people did, at least after the initial mary shock wore off, but of course there were those who found her overpowering and abrasive. and there were those who disliked her simply because of the blood running through her veins.

she approached hogwarts with determination & optimism. and maybe a little bit of competitiveness. fun fact: the sorting hat briefly considered slytherin for her because of her ambition and charm, but when it comes down to it, she’s a gryffindor through and through. she joined clubs, she talked to professors after class, she made neat, colour-coordinated notes. she made her presence known from day 1 and took hogwarts by storm. she wanted to be popular, she wanted to be noticed

and she was – just also by the wrong sort of people. in her fifth year, she was attacked by mulciber ( something i’ll plot out more once we get a mulciber )

but uh yeah this caused a shitload of trauma ! for one thing, she was paranoid as fuck for a long while after the attack. she was terrified of being alone, and still is to an extent. she was haunted by nightmares almost every night for months. but most of all – the attack sparked an unidentifiable doubt and sadness as she struggled to reconcile her optimistic beliefs with the horrors she now knew existed in the world.

she kept it all on the down-low, though, and a lot of people who were at hogwarts at the time don’t know how bad the attack actually affected her. because she just pulled on a pageant-winning smile, and did what she was best at – pretending everything was okay. not a great way of coping with trauma !

she didn’t even tell her parents. she knew how worried they would be, and she didn’t want them to feel like they couldn’t protect their daughter. they knew a boy named mulciber had cursed her, but they thought it was just an instance of schoolyard bullying, and mary lied and told them he was expelled because of it.

eventually, she started getting past it – sometimes she still wakes up from nightmares, sure, and she still has her bad days, but she’s surviving and growing. for now.

so ! what kind of a person is mary macdonald ? controlling. idealistic. uncertain. perfectionistic. vain. tender. materialistic. flirtatious. stubborn. ambitious. charming. conflicted. spoiled. impulsive. yearning. loving.

she likes everything planned to a tee, jotted down neatly in her favourite pink leather planner. she colour codes all her notes. her room is always neat and tidy and her makeup is always impeccable.

if this were a muggle high school au, she would be the head of the prom planning committee and it would have a 1950s theme.

she will give you way too many second chances and it will break her heart. she believes in the good of humanity with a stubbornness that’s almost naive.

she is way too dependent on validation, i’m gonna tell you right now. a total attention seeker, but she manages to be just charming enough that it isn’t annoying. her good looks don’t hurt, either.

she can be petty ! she can definitely be so petty ! and way too used to getting what she wants. i hate her

she is one of the quidditch commentators except uh … girl knows nothing about quidditch. mostly just gossips into the mic about the players while her partner commentator ( wc !!!!! ) actually commentates on the gameplay. but she’s managed to keep the position cause it entertains the audience and draws out students who aren’t as interested in quidditch

loose connection ideas: ima be honest with you, mary is a ho. gimme fwb, hookups, ex-flings. the more drama the betterrr. also, girl squad wya ?? OR EX-FRIENDS. the dramaaaa. again, would love another quidditch commentator. i’d also love a frenemy plot, a bad influence, a good influence, a one-sided crush ( on either side ), study buddies, or just straight up enemies, a bickering relationship … anything tbh
