Mary Macdonald - Blog Posts

A round of applause for Mary MacDonald, the REAL Casanova of the Gryffindor Tower. Thank you.

Marauder characters heights post incoming 🗣️🗣️

(I’m doing research)

Marlene: gaslighting doesn’t work on me

Mary: ..oh?

Marlene: because I already don’t trust my, terrible, memory and I don’t care what really happened

“Art deco by Lana Del Rey” but the beat drop is just everyone’s (platonic or not) first impression of James Potter.

Mary: does he make you laugh?

Lily: he doesn’t make me cry.

Peter by taylor swift is actually just different marauders characters thinking (or talking) about Peter.

“Forgive me Peter. My lost fearless leader. In closets like cedar, preserved from when we were just kids. Is it something I did? The goddess of timing, once found us beguiling, she said she was trying. Peter, was she lying? My ribs get the feeling she did. And I didn't want to come down. I thought it was just goodbye for now.”.

- James Potter.

“You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me. You said you were gonna grow up, Then you were gonna come find me. Said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me. Words from the mouths of babes. Promises, oceans deep. But never to keep. Oh, never to keep.”.

- Lily Evans.

“Are you still a mind reader? A natural scene stealer. I've heard great things Peter. But life was always easier on you, than it was on me. And sometimes it gets me, when crossing your jet stream. We both did the best we could do underneath the same moon, in different galaxies. And I didn't want to hang around. We said it was just goodbye for now.”.

- Remus Lupin.

“And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn. As the men masqueraded I hoped you'd return, with your feet on the ground. Tell me all that you'd learned, cause love's never lost when perspective is earned. And you said you'd come and get me but you were 25. And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired. Lost to the lost boys chapter of your life. Forgive me Peter, please know that I tried, to hold onto the days when you were mine. But the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light.”.

- Sirius Black.

“You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me. You said you were gonna grow up. You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me. Said you were gonna grow up, you said you were gonna grow up. Then you were gonna come find me. Said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me. You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me. Words from the mouths of babes. Promises, oceans deep. But never to keep.”.

- Mary Macdonald.

Remus: [after Sirius apologised for the prank] I mean.. he apologised, I should forgive him.. right?

Peter: absolutely not!

Lily: 1. Don't pick up the phone, You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone.

Mary: 2. Don't let him in, You have to kick him out again.

James: 3. Don't be his friend, You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'.

Marlene: And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him.

“I’ve been doing it since he left, I keep finding his things in drawers. Crucial evidence, I didn’t imagine the whole thing.”

Literally all and any character from the Marauders era after they loss another person.

Mary: what did you want to be when you were younger?

James: I wanted to be a F1 driver

Marlene: I wanted to be a firefighter or a musician

Lily: I wanted to be a painter or an author

Mary: I wanted to be a model

Sirius: I wanted to be loved

Peter: I wanted to be a teacher

Remus: an astronaut or a doctor

Dorcas: movie star

James: what about you Mary?

Mary: oh! I wanted to be a nurse or a doctor

Remus Lupin — the take the man out the werewolf, not the werewolf out the man.

Evan — you take the man out the deatheater, not the deatheater out the man.

James was definitely the person everyone wanted to be, everyone definitely adored him. Even when they didn’t want to

For example:

Remus: “this bloody chatterbox can’t understand I don’t want to talk to him, just let me sleep before we get to the new school” *James trying to befriend him immediately not mentioning his scars at all* “ig him talking is something that’s somewhat tolerable”

Lily: “James is a git. He doesn’t know how to get that someone people just don’t like him!” *sees James helping Remus after a full moon* “oh.. well ig he ain’t that bad”

Regulus: “Potter is a rude egotistical man who stole my brother and thinks he’s amazing. Well he’s not.” *mets James in the astronomy tower and James calms his down from his panic attack* “nvm then..”

Barty: “who’s this Gryffindor freak who’s all smiley all the time?” *sees James helping Pandora and Mary get away from a touchy stranger* “well ig his smile ain’t bad so why not show it off ig?”

Tbh there could be more

Mary: if you could kiss any woman in the world feet, who would you choose?

Marlene: my beautiful girlfriend, Dorcas

Mary: that don’t count you do that anyway

Marlene: [with no hesitation] Euphemia Potter.

James: REALLY??

Peter: do you truly think so little of me?

James, Lily, Marlene, Sirius, Remus, Mary: Peter, I thought the world of you.

Remus: he’d like me better if I wasn’t a “bitch”, I’d like him better if he wasn’t 5’9

Lily: I mean you’re both at a loss

Mary: But who’s actually gonna recover from this?

Marlene: Remus.

Harry: i grew up with a lesbian mother and a bisexual father, both of which have a wife and husband so I didn’t know straight people existed until I was like 6

Ron: [is confused on who has a wife and who has a husband] Hold up, I’m confused say that again but slow

Luna: wait me too

Pansy: that’s the life every child deserves.

Pete: what would you wish for if you had three wishes from a genie, and you can’t wish for more wishes, more money or to bring people back from the dead

Pete: I’d wish for everytime I’ve ever wanted

Lily: ..okay, im feeling some undertones

Marlene: I’ve had some pretty bad wishes icl..

Remus: cause have you ever had a bad thought though, like ‘I wish I was dead’ or something?

James: or like you wish you could disappear?

Mary: exactly

Peter: ..no.

Sirius: I try to think positive..

Dorcas, Barty, Evan & Regulus: [who just wanted to stop by] . . .

James was really drunk at a party he stumbled to the bathroom to be greeted by Mary, Marlene and Lily. Marlene and Mary, instantly aware of why he’s there, go over and help he get to the toilet to vomit. Lily stands there confused why they’re helping James. Like James “asshole pure-blood” Potter?? Marlene gives out to James while he tries to sleep on the toilet, so she tells him to start talking. He rambles about how he wants to go help Pete cause he left him alone of the sofa out there, how he has to help Sirius and Remus talk because they’re too nervous to do it by themselves, how he has to give advice to Dorcas because she doesn’t know what’s the best alcohol they have, how Pandora lost her shoes and he has to help her, how Barty is overwhelmed and how he has to get him out, that Evan wants weed and he was supposed to get some for him, and how he was supposed to do and help so many people. Mary and Marlene nodding along and rubbing his back and holding his hand like it’s normal?? Lily stands there watching James potter tell them how he doesn’t have time to be sick cause there’s people who need help more.

Lily realises maybe he’s different.

James “asshole pureblood” Potter

behind every hot girl there is unhealthy, slightly concerning, spiritual connection to harry potter’s dead parents dead friend group

I've Fallen For You

“Evans, did you come to wish me luck?” James teased good-naturedly. There was only good-natured humor and genuine friendship in his voice. Mary wanted to hex him anyway. 

"Sorry, Potter," Lily retorted, breezing past him and straight to Mary. "My heart's already taken." 

And Mary had no doubt that Lily really meant it, just not in the same way Mary did. Not when Mary wanted to warm Lily's frozen skin with kisses, to lose herself in Lily's lavender shampoo for hours.

"I can't compete with that," James replied with a wink, ushering the rest of his team outside. "Try not to make my star chaser late, Lils."

"I thought I was your star chaser!" Marlene protested, not before sending Mary an amused and very pointed look. Mary should never have said anything to her, fucking best friend and fucking Sirius Black with his fancy firewhiskey.

Mary didn't bother to listen to James's answer, because Lily approached her with a small smile. A smile Lily reserved only for Mary, as if Mary were the most precious thing in the world.

“Hi,” Lily whispered into the silence of the locker room. If Mary thought she'd shut out the outside world before, she was sorely mistaken. There was only Lily left — Lily and the star-shaped scar behind her ear, Lily and the ring on her index finger she shared with Mary, Lily and the warmth of her breath against Mary’s lips. Lily, Lily, Lily. “How are you feeling?”

Mary felt as if there was no more air in the room, but she managed to answer in a low voice, like a secret between them. “Perfect now that you're here.”

and when he runs away to stay with the potters he gets 1) the world’s absolute worst sunburn that leaves him bedridden for a week and 2) the world’s absolute best tan that leaves [remus/james/mary/whoever you ship him with]’s jaw falling through the floor

Sirius is only so pale because he was never let outside.

i drew mary

she looks like shit but an attempt was made

marauders and co. as things me and my friends said

remus: I WAS IN THE FUCKING ELEVATOR

remus: fuck me, fuck you, fuck the president, fuck your mom. --- sirius: i don't dress to get paid. i dress to get layed. sirius: *laughs hysterically at a fly* ---

marauders' era heights let's go

sirius black- 5'10". has to stand on his tiptoes to kiss remus but is tall enough to make fun of james for being small

remus lupin- 6'6" and always hits his head in doorframes

james potter- 5'6". short king. he is slightly taller than peter but he looks taller than he is because he's well built. never in his life lied about his height. sirius always makes fun of him and he makes fun of himself too

peter pettigrew- 5'5" but brags that he is only one inch shorter than james

lily evans- 5'8", love me some tall gf & short bf

mary macdonald- 5'5", is actually average height

dorcas meadowes- 6'1" and always makes fun of their shorter friends

marlene mckinnon- 4'11", no objections. small but fierce and will kick you in the shin if you make fun of how short she is

frank longbottom- 5'8", is also average heighted and enjoys it because he can both reach the top shelf and he doesn't hit his head in everything

alice fortescue - 5'4" (aka my height)

This feels cannon

Like Moonwater definitely adopted Percy at some point

Prongsfoot having the twins, Minerva would wait until the last second to send them their Hogwarts letters because she is not ready for the extra chaos they would be if they were raised by them.

I love the thought of Wolfbuck having Oliver like yes he was definitely raised by someone who is willing to fuel the level of insane obsession that he has for Quiditch and the amont of passion he has for the sport. But also someone who can give him everything else about his personality.

Wait, but what if Bill actually was a werewolf instead of just being scratched by one 🤔

Assigning golden trio and cursed child era characters marauders era ship parents based entirely on soul reading

Wolfstar: Ron and Bill Weasley (and Teddy obvs)

This is what happened to most of James stuff throughout his years at Hogwarts

James: is that my sweater?

Regulus, looking down confused: no? I stole this from Barty

Barty: oh well I stole it from Evan

Evan: it's not mine, I got it from Panda

Pandora: I borrowed it from Dorcas

Dorcas: I got it from Marlene

Marlene: .... I may have stolen it out of Mary's closet

Mary: only because I stole it from Lily first

Lily: don't look at me I borrowed it from Remus

Remus: I only had it because I thought it was Sirius'?

Sirius: oh shit, I did steal that from you Jamie

Ok, I'm writing the 10 Bllu children, and I need names and as many plot points and sub plot points and personality traits as you can gather. They don't even have to be for the kids can be how the characters will react.
