Minerva McGonagall was a Scottish half-blood witch, the only daughter of muggle Robert McGonagall and witch Isobel Ross. She also was the older sister of Malcolm and Robert Jnr. Minerva attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor House, but it took the Sorting Hat five and a half minutes to decide if she was Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, which made her a Hatstall. During her seventh year she was appointed Head Girl.

Okay okay okay I need to know everything about Apolline please please tell me any thoughts you have that you’re really really excited about I love her!!

Things about Crookshanks:

Apolline got the nickname "Crookshanks" when there had been an accidental clash in Filch's office. The Marauders had been attempting to retrieve their map — half-finished at that point — and Apolline was on a one-woman mission to get rid of her name in Filch's detention log before the paper made it into her aunt's hands. It had been a bit awkward, at first, all five of them simultaneously demanding what they were doing there. The commotion drew the attention of Filch, and Apolline, without missing a beat, forced the boys into hiding and took the fall for them.

Peter was the only one who knew that Minerva McGonagall wasn't any easier on her niece than any other student. Everyone else would assume that Apolline did what she did because at least the punishment would be softer. It wasn't. Apolline hid the toll it took on her well, though Pettigrew noticed how she winced while she wrote and the bags that never ceased to plague her eyes. Scrubbing everyone's cauldron after a day of potions was murder on the the hands.

"Crookshanks" came about when Peter had silently slid her a note in charms. His messy scrawl was illegible at the best of times, and it took her a moment to form a singular word from the alphabet soup: Crookshanks. She would later find out that he had penned: dear the crook, thanks.

The last time Romulus had faced the full moon alone had been the first time he'd turned. He was terrified of it, but he was more terrified of hurting someone else. So when Crookshanks offered to stay with him, he refused her. He insisted she take herself far away from him, because although it had taken years, he eventually had managed to forgive some of himself for what had happened when he was five at his first turning. He knew that now, at eighteen, with years of experience under his belt, that if he hurt Apolline in any way, he would absolutely never forgive himself. But she made it clear that it wasn't up for negotiation, and he would deny it, but she saw relief there. Remus had the boys, but if Romulus just had Apolline, he would be delighted for the rest of his days.

Apolline was also exceptionally close with the girls: Mary and Lily in particular.

She was one of Lily's bridesmaids.

She couldn't play Quidditch to save her life — her hand-eye coordination was rubbish — but she was James' number one fan (after Lily, of course).

She knew both James and Lily liked each other, but was sworn to secrecy by both, which was completely infuriating, because they could've been together since fourth year for Merlin's sake!

Mary Macdonald taught her how to drive a car. She preferred motorbike rides with Sirius though,

In spite of her finding him quite standoffish, she always made an effort to include Regulus if he was around.

Apolline's father is Robert McGonagall Jnr. He would die avenging her.

Her relationship with her brother is truly wholesome, full of understanding and trust and love. He mourns her still.

Apolline was the first person Peter came out to. She only made joking remarks about Peter's crush on Francis when they were alone together.

She's an extreme empath, and is very protective of her friends, particularly Peter.

She helped the Marauders become Animagi.

They offered to put her name on the completed map alongside theirs, but she kindly declined; it didn't feel right, as they'd been working on it for years before she'd joined.

She didn't ask to join the Order, Dumbledore requested it of her.

She had a crush on Alastor Moody, and would constantly visit her old classmate, Socorro Sallow, in the Ministry to catch a glimpse of him.

Her boggart is Bellatrix Black.

She was considered as secret keeper for the Longbottoms. She declined for the same reason Sirius had for the Potters.

SHE. LOATHES. SNAPE.

She crashed the Malfoy wedding in pursuit of Cassius Mulciber (justice for Mary Macdonald)

Narcissa was furious. Crookshanks didn't mind, because it was Alastor Moody dragging her out.

Marlene McKinnon painted a portrait of Apolline once. She could barely sit still for it. It hangs in Minerva McGonagall's home in Hogsmeade. Francis always said it captured her likeness better than any photograph could — some deep, personal understanding between Marlene and Apolline — and would visit his aunt regularly, both for her company, but to gaze at his sister once more, who would always smile that little knowing mischievous smile at him.

first of all, I absolutely adore all of your edits they look so freaking pretty I can’t believe it! Second, I was wondering if there was anything you could share about The Knights of Walpurgis vs Dumbledore’s First Resistance?? I’ve become a little obsessed after seeing your seven princes of hell / seven archangels edits

So, as we all know, the Knights of Walpurgis were the original Death Eater gang while Tom was at school from the year 1938 to 1945. Dumbledore's Resistance, having always had his suspicions about Riddle (which were confirmed by the murder of the Riddle family in Little Hangleton and Isaiah Moody's infallible instinct that Morfin Gaunt — although having committed his fair share of crimes — was not guilty of this particular one) was formed shortly after Riddle's graduation.

It consisted of Isaiah Moody (father to Alastor Moody), Rathin Patil (brother of known Death Eater, Dagrim Patil), and Miraya Varma (future Patil, grandmother of Padma and Parvati). The next to join was Corinne Scamander (daughter to Newt Scamander [still subject to change, but given Amos' future occupation in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures I thought it was a good fit]), followed closely by Declan Diggory (future father of Amos Diggory). The last to join, in 1952, upon her graduation, was Minerva McGonagall. Others would join, too, but these six were considered Albus Dumbledore's most trusted inner circle.

Where Dumbledore placed a lot of emphasis on trust, Riddle prioritized strength. Riddle's Six were made up of his strongest generals, the most ruthless of all his soldiers: Dagrim Patil (known commonly among the ranks as his Red Right Hand), Cantankerous Nott IV (very well politically connected, yet still had a failed run for Minister for Magic; future father of Theodore Nott), Abraxas Malfoy, Ulysses Mulciber (uncle to Cassius Mulciber, who attacked Mary Macdonald during his time at Hogwarts; also related to the Zabinis through his mother), Carmilla Avery (future Carmilla Malfoy, mother of Lucius) and Serafine Lestrange (distant cousin of Rodolphus and Rabastan. She would defect to marry half-blood Robert McGonagall Jnr. and become mother of Apolline and Francis McGonagall).

Dagrim's story details the Riddle's rise to power, before her untimely death towards the end of 1952.

When I came up with the challengers, some were fairly obvious: Dagrim and Rathin, Dumbledore and Riddle, Miraya and Cantankerous. The others were based off of how fun of an interaction it would be, and what potential backstories I could weave out of the war tensions. One of my favourite new dynamics is Serafine and Declan, who grew up together but had a falling out. Declan is Dumbledore's best hope of talking Serafine down, who, if she wasn't so despondent and lacking in the vehemence to pursue her goals (sloth), would perhaps overtake Dagrim as Riddle's favoured enforcer.

Some of the characters are canon, and some characters were around long before I made the princes and archangels sets. And some were purely created for the set, and a lot of their personality is based on the sin I gave them.
