Mary Mcdonald (supermodel): If We’re Talking About Superficial Shit Then No. She Didn’t Need Any

my pinterest is a mess just like my ships

ballet academy au | blackinnon edition

marlene has always loved the arts, dancing especially. she had never minded to be in the background as long as she could perform. actually, if it means she could dance for the rest of her life, she wouldn’t want to ever be the first ballerina.

sirius has the talent, but no joy or interest in ballet. he’s only there to appease mommy and daddy dearest. he’s always been inconsistent, untrustworthy, that has been purposeful.

but all that changes when he’s paired up with marlene and sees the passion in her eyes. if he doesn’t step up, they both might get cut from the program.

it has been his purpose ever since day one, to get thrown out, put his family in a situation where their money won’t help him.

but could he risk throw away marlene’s dream just to get free of his family’s legacy?

i hc walburga disliking the malfoys. the only other family that is socially considered their equals. but she knows how they managed to establish themselves in wizarding society, particularly in regards to money and properties, doing business with dirty muggles.

it wasn’t arranged but there was an understanding that the two families would be brought closer in the form of an union between walburga and abraxas, but she’d rather died before letting that happens.

she does everything in her power to let abraxas know exactly how she feels about him.

in the end, when the blacks and the malfoys finally merged, she felt that narcissa got handed the short end of the stick.

durmstrang!sirius and slytherin!marlene | dark!blackinnon au

walburga senses, as most mothers often do, that hogwarts may not be the right place for sirius after all, so before his letter arrives at 11, she ensures his place at durmstrang is secured. he is a black, so that’s easy enough. and while sirius is our fully rebellious teenager that we know and love and doesn’t exactly fit within the black family standards, he can’t quite deny that he’s having a bit of fun learning a few new tricks in his heavily dark arts oriented school.

on the other side, we have a completely surprised marlene after being sorted into slytherin. and yet she can’t quite complain. the views from under the lake are stunning and there’s a lot of comfort surrounding her in her new house. and she can’t exactly claim she doesn’t fit in either because after all, not only his father is head of a department in the ministry, but the mckinnons are a well respected pureblood family even if they’re not considered rich enough to commune with the highest wizarding families.

both sirius and marlene are surrounded by people talking day and night about the dark lord and his promises to build a new world and how he will reward his most loyal followers. neither are particularly interested in it and, at this point, they’re both safe enough for them and their families to not being at risk.

also yes, they’re both know each other, seeing as marlene is the daughter of an important figure in the ministry and the black’s business often times coincides within the realm of the ministry, they were the type of kids who tag along their parents from time to time and they were left to socialize. they got along well enough, to the point marlene had been disappointed when certain heir didn’t joined her in hogwarts.

now let’s cut to after graduation shall we?

sirius ends up joining the death eaters because he feels someone has to look after his idiot brother before he manages to get himself killed.

marlene doesn’t join the order given her acquaintances in hogwarts, thinking she might not be able to keep it a secret and believes her family is safe as long they don’t say anything against the new world order that is expected to take over.

except his father ends up using his position in the ministry to his advantage thinking he might have a chance to impact change for good and death eathers find his involvement with the order. they not only set out to kill him, but as a precaution they kill all of his family with the exception of marlene.

marlene has two choices: either join the order and help them win the war or set out to plot revenge for her family on her own. she chooses the latter.

now, in this au regulus tells his findings about the dark lord to sirius and doesn’t die in that cave. but that doesn’t mean he’s saved.

sirius now holds the power to take down voldemort once and for all and because he heard what happened to the mckinnons, set to reach out to marlene playing a bit of double agent himself.

trouble is marlene has found the death eaters headquarters and manages to bring the whole building to the ground all on her own.

now, any guesses who’s little brother was inside that building at the time of the explosion?

that’s right: regulus black.

what’s sirius to do now? especially since marlene is showing no remorse for her actions, claiming it was regulus choice to join the death eaters in the first place, knowing damn well the risks.

Bellatrix

Andromeda

Narcissa

lily never really approved of sirius and marlene (in this au they weren’t high school friends)

lilypad enjoying going out for drinks and talk shit about everyone UNTIL SIRIUS CANT TAKE MORE OF LILY MAKING FUN OF MARLENE (nothing major calm down) cause sure marlene has been a little extra lately but he chose her to be his partner and that means something

a little prongsfoot moment when they’re both feeling down a bit?

marlene an lily laughing their ass off when they found out and are not angry at all (basis for a solid friendship between the girls after all?)

gilderoy being blissfully unaware of all the shit show going around. peter loving him for it because he won’t let his honeymoon be ruing by their immature friends

tonks and marlene bonding over tiny adventures they take together

lily and james fighting because lily thinks james is acting weird in front of tonks because maybe he would like to be with someone younger and reckless but james replies that maybe lily is just projecting and she’s the one who would like to be as carefree as tonks

in the case i decide to make regulus as remus ex: sirius and remus talking about the whole tonks/regulus situation and sirius making jokes about it and regulus having found out about remus dating tonks cause they still share family icloud (if this is a muggle au)

OMG WAIT (see here the concept)

what if the story begins with gilderoy surprising peter with a wedding for his anniversary (better late than never) and all their friends join them in the honeymoon (codependency at its best) and all hell break lose?

sirius trying to down play the fact that he’s going mad having marlene constantly watching out for him because he knows is out of love.

the potters acting as their parents.

remus bringing tonks for the first time on a holiday with them.

you have your mother’s eyes

jokes on me for thinking: sure, and interview format story retelling the past of a band? EASY WRITING, IT'S JUST TAKING EACH CHARACTER MONOLOGUES AND ESSENTIALLY MAKE A COLLAGE WITH THEM.

like hell it is, this might be the longest chapter i've written and in my head, this was supposed to be one of the shorter ones. i get so stuck re-reading and re-writing cause someone would say something and then i decide to add to the one who "talked" before them and hour has passed and i barely managed to add a full page to the document.

update:

there are two new chapters on “like a bludger to the heart” and one in the spanish blackinnon through the ages.
