[Marauder Era/HPHM] Hermia “Mia” Flume Moodboard

Tagging @magicallymalted and @dat-silvers-girl so as to introduce this girl properly! 💗

“Could dress up to get love, But guess what? I'm never gonna be that girl Who's living in a Barbie world... Could wake up, and make up, and play dumb, Pretending that I need a boy Who's gonna treat me like a toy... I know the other girls wanna wear expensive things,  Like diamond rings, But I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing  On a string... This queen don't need a king.”

The owner of Honeydukes, Ambrosius Flume, is a very sweet man with a rather appropriate talent for manufacturing unique magical sweets. He also has three daughters, all of whom have a certain level of sweetness to them. The youngest, Callisto “Callie” Flume, had men of all stripes eating out of her hand, while the eldest, Hestia “Tia” Flume, earned the affection of the well-respected Head of the Goblin Liaison Office, Dirk Cresswell, and now the pair are happily married with two children. Ambrosius’s middle child -- who was also, in most people’s view, his favorite daughter -- is more akin to a bitter dark chocolate, compared to her soft-spoken, sensitive older sister and her flighty, flirty younger sister. 

Hermia -- or “Mia” as she’s almost exclusively called -- is a witty, relentless young firebrand whose love for her family and hard work ethic dwarfs anything else, including her strong intellectual curiosity and her high aspirations. Mia was both the most ambitious and industrious of her siblings at school, doing her Head of House Pomona Sprout very proud by relentlessly putting 120% of herself into absolutely everything she did. She excelled at the Dueling Club, sang proficiently with the Frog Choir, and earned ten OWLs and NEWTs with nothing but her own sweat and tears. As a girl, Mia was determined to never do anything half-assed -- and this eventually included staying to work at her father’s shop as a chocolatier and pastry baker, even as Callie pursued a career with the Wizarding Wireless Network and Tia settled down into life as a stay-at-home mother. 

Mia’s primary passion is integrating magic and potioneering into the sweets she creates, so as to hopefully heal people just as much as feed them. Mia also -- during the Second Wizarding War -- uses her magical treats to smuggle in secret messages from the outside to Dumbledore’s Army, which her twelve-year-old nephew has aligned himself with, some of which came from Callie, who works as a correspondent for the underground anti-Death-Eater radio show Potterwatch. Mia also is instrumental in helping keep the many people kept in safehouses during the Second Wizarding War fed and in good health, even while staying in hiding. One of these such people who delivers her magical baked goods to different safehouses, including his own, is Jacob Cromwell, who ironically enough actually attended school at the same time Mia did. (Not that that people-dumb idiot remembered this fact, until Mia bluntly reminded him of it.)
