high-school Marauders era AU but with the girls !!
Cheer captain Pandora/football captain Lily
rival basketball team captains Dorcas/Marlene
fashion student Mary/history student Emmeline
Debate team captain Narcissa/ theatre kid Alice
Gossip girl and head of the school journal Rita/ Bellatrix the only person that Rita has no gossip about (she hates her for it)
lots of angst in the black family, the black sisters run away (basically Bellatrix and Narcissa seek help from Andromeda who ran away a few years ago cause they dont want to be engaged to assholes that their parents picked for them to "remove the impure thoughts from their heads") and uncle Alphard adopting all of his nephews and nieces !!
Alice always teasing Narcissa (she loves how she pouts and her cheeks flush when she's frustrated) and both of them slowly falling in love<3
Bellatrix mocking Rita about her obsession with her and teasing her with information about her life that are so wrong untill one day Rita finds her drunk and Bellatrix says how much she hates her parents and she doesnt want to be engaged to rodolphus and rita almost posting an article about it but feeling bad in the end because bellatrix seemed really frustrated by saying that to her and Rita telling her about her family so that they can be "fair" or sum idk BUT YEAH THEY END UP FALLING IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER OVER TRAUMA BONDING<3 (theyre probably the couple with the most angst but they end up in a fluffy happy relationship because they went to therapy)
Pandora and Lily flirting all the time but not knowing if the other is serious about it or not untill Lily wins the cup between the all football team schools and Pandora kisses her from happiness in front of everyone and they confess !!
Emmeline tutoring Mary in history and Mary making her her model for all her designs and make-up art, Emmeline secretly loving it because of the close proximity between them while Mary puts eyeliner on her🤍🩷
Marlene getting injured in a match between her and Dorcas and Dorcas is forced to bring her to the Hospital Wing, they still fight all the time but it slowly becomes bickering after they went to a camp for all the basketball teams to become kinda friends?? lessen the rivalry between them or something and they have to share a room and omg guess what? only one bed folks !! so yeah basically they end up together after one of them got injured in the final match against the Beauxbatons team and they confess from worry (the injury is like a minor concussion nothing big)
NOT A LOT OF ANGST CAUSE FLUFF IS SUPERIOR AND WE DESERVE HAPPINESS🩷.
but yeah i wish there was a fic like this but unfortunately im not a writer😞
ok is anyone bored? do you also like marauders fanfiction? because i need help. i'm not just doing this for clicks (or that isn't my intention), i really need people's thoughts on my fanfiction and what direction it should go because the writers block is KILLING ME! https://archiveofourown.org/works/55062496/chapters/139599376 here is the link. specifically on the end of chapter four. i'm going to tag all the ships because even if i annoy a bunch of people (and i really am sorry) if just one person spares like 8k words of their time it could really help me out. thank you tumblr <33
Okay so what do marauders fans think about an emmary raising Harry fic after the war. There’s going to be wolf star and a lot of other surprise ships plus a Mary and reg friendship with a side of reg and pandora raising Luna. I got it stuck in my head and it’s never going away so I’m writing it now. I plan on having the prologue out by mid may and first chap no later than June 12th
Every day I’m reminded that Mary McDonald not only survived two wars but spent the majority of her life alone
Like I cannot imagine the despair of watching as the world around you crumbles and the people who you’ve grown up with and loved are killed decades before their prime
Dealing with betrayal after betrayal and then having the war end with the deaths of your former lover (lily my bbg) her husband and the orphaning of their child at the hands of the man who was supposed to protect them all
Then you enter the post-war period you learn and grow and fall in love again this time with a witch from your past (Emmeline Vance) you two slowly rebuilding your lives in the wake of tragedy learning to grow and forgive and honour those lost
And suddenly just as quickly as this new life bloomed it’s being taken from you again by the same person who took it from you the first time
And Mary can’t convince Emmeline to stay it’s always been in her heart to pursue what is right and just and Mary cannot be the one to take that from her
Instead Mary watches as the one woman who had survived with her is taken away as Emmeline Vance is kidnapped and killed at the hands of Voldemort and his death eaters
And then the great battle happens and well that’s it it’s over but for Mary there’s no reason left for her to stay all her year mates are either dead or gone
So she disappears Mary McDonald never returns to the Wizarding World
And upon her death at aged 72 she is silently buried in an empty slot in Godric’s Hollow amongst her friends once more
Summary: A young sorceress in training must venture into the unknown to deliver news of a prophecy - only to come across a princess who changes everything. Alice learns the meaning of family. Narcissa learns the meaning of choice.

— summary: mary's last night is the night emmeline dies
To Mary, it's the middle of the night. To Mary, it's October fitfh year and the summer before that, to Mary, it's the day she receives the news that Lily is dead. It's Lily being dead all over again. It's Marlene telling her that she thinks she can't love Mary the way she wants to be loved, it's her kissing all the tears that fall from Mary's eyes like she's trying to kiss it better. It's Lily's last hug before they went into hiding, it's the phone call she never got to give them. It's her voice that was never heard a last time, it's baby Harry's hair that she never got to mess with. It's her dad's cloudy eyes before he passed, her mother's trembling hands as she held Mary's, it's Dorcas' promise that they would throw a birthday party to Pandora that year. It's all being taken away from her at once, brutally and without warning. Again. It's all again.
The night Emmeline dies Mary feels the grief awakes in her body so strong it shakes the entire neighborhood awake. She feels the death of every person dear to her over again, like her mind awoke with grief all of her dead, just to kill them a little more. The years that eased into Mary's mind did little to her memory. So, she knows what's coming. She did for a long time now. She knows what she has to do.
Her hand doesn't even tremble as she reaches for her wand. She wonders what it would feel like, she did even when Emmeline was here with her. Mary was a fighter, all of her life. She didn't back down all these years, she didn't run, even if every single nerve on her body was telling her to. Mary lost everything. She was about to lose everything forever. But she made up her mind.
If Emmeline was there, Mary knows what she'd say. Mary asked her not a week before. "Would you do it?" Emme's voice shook, tears on the brink of falling as she nodded. "Yes... I just wish you wouldn't ask me to. I'd... Miss you a lot, you know?"
Mary tells herself that it doesn't matter, because Emmeline was as dead as they come and she was not coming back from the dead just to do it for her. Maybe she should've asked it sooner, maybe she should've never asked it at all. Mary never doubted of Emmeline's love, but love could only go to a certain length, and their were no different.
Mary's hand stops at her temple, her wand just about to touch her head. She imagines it as a gun. Her last breath as Mary MacDonald is a shallow and short one, one that doesn't do her justice. Then, simple as that, Mary says it. Obliviate. Simple as that, there is no more Mary.
The first breath the stranger sat on a bed she doesn't recognise is a deep one. She doesn't recognise anything, and she doesn't recall picking up a stick or a photograph, but there they are, just in her trembling hands. She doesn't remember coming in, or sitting down, or how did she got here in the first place. She let her hands rest on the mattress below her as she toss the stick to the ground. Another deep breath. She gets up, folds the photo of several people she doesn't know and puts it on the nightstand.
Mary MacDonald leaves the house without any idea that it once was hers.
