Mary Macdonald Headcanons

Home life

Originally from Ghana, she always felt out of place in a suburb in England

She tried to put on a confident, kind act in primary school but it stopped being an act very early

She was a muggleborn and the first signs of her magic only scared her until she found out what it was

Lily was her neighbour and although they got on well, they weren’t close until Hogwarts

When they were home over summers she tried to include Severus in their plans, but he preferred to spent time with Lily separately instead

She felt guilty for choosing the magical world after graduating, sometimes doubting her choice at fleeting moments

Life at Hogwarts

She was much happier about going to Hogwarts when she saw that she wasn’t the only person of colour anymore

It made her feel out of her depth when she realised how much there was to learn about magic

Of all her classes her favourite was herbology, professor Sprout often letting her take cuttings of plants to take to her dorm

Her part of the dormitory was made very obvious by the copious amount of plants that filled it up every year

Deja, Lily and Marlene knew when the plants had to be watered and would sometimes help Mary take care of them

She was also briefly interested in divination but she kept seeing a very distressing future and gave it up, assuming that it just didn’t work

It partially led to her interest in crystals, even though she wasn’t sure if they worked she used them like they did for her own peace of mind

She was the only one of her friends to not join the order of the phoenix, only helping out of fear to not be there to keep her friends safe

Lily Evans Headcanons

Home life

She was very close with Petunia before they found out she was a witch

Severus gave her the sibling-type connection she needed after Petunia suddenly pulled away

She didn’t have many other friends in primary school so going to Hogwarts was just as scary as exciting

After Petunia admitted she was jealous of Lily’s magic she thought they could reconcile and be close again

She met Vernon soon after and Petunia pulled away much further again, devastating Lily

Her parents tried their best be as involved in her life as they could, but it got harder the more her life centred around the magical world

Life at Hogwarts

It wasn’t until the sorting that she found out her neighbour and old classmate Mary was also a witch

Mary, Deja, and Marlene became her second family and they frequently tried to include Severus because it was important to Lily

It angered her to see James pick on Severus and try to flirt with her right afterwards

She had imposter syndrome from being muggleborn and used being a star student to prove to herself that she belonged

Of all her subjects she took to potions the best, becoming Slughorn’s favourite

Her friends and teachers slowly helped her with her imposter syndrome, but it still came up again when she had to take her OWLs

Her friendship with Snape was strained by their later years because of his death eater friends and him putting his romantic feelings for her above their friendship

The nail in the coffin was him calling her a mud blood, but she was very upset about losing her oldest friend

She finally felt like she belonged in the magical world by her last year when she was made head girl
