Healer by day... also Healer by night. Dear Merlin, I need a life. | Minerva McGonagall’s ginger kid. Eternally bored (boring) Gryffindor.

Have you seen her dressed in blue?
See the sky in front of you
She comes in colors everywhere.

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

@FatedForAzkaban – stroke the side of his face. Her child’s father. She still couldn’t quite believe it. Couldn’t believe how far they’ve come.

“Serves you right; you should’ve stuck with blondes,” she replied playfully.

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

See, the plan was never really sustainable.

She succeeded at avoiding him ages ago, but that was way before they started seeing each other. Before they started living together.

The house is big, but it’s not that big. And, most importantly, she’s started to –

@FatedForAzkaban

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

@FatedForAzkaban “I don’t know what I thought,” she admitted in all honesty. “I had so many awful things in mind; I should’ve just told you the moment I knew and let you react, instead of me imagining terrible scenario after terrible scenario in my head.” She brought her hand up to lightly –

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

@FatedForAzkaban – weeks now. I know it’s wrong, but I didn’t know how you’d react and I practiced so many times in my head, but the words came out messily anyway.

I hope the kid’s not ginger,” she said finally as she hid her face, with a soft laugh that was betrayed by a little sniffle.

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

@FatedForAzkaban His words almost made her tear up, but also brought her back to the here and now. They had a child, their child, and with Pyxis they’ll be a family.

“And I love you,” she said, her arms now finding their way towards him again in an embrace. “Full disclosure, I’ve known for –

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

@FatedForAzkaban – very idea out the window when you came back. We have Pyxis and it’s awful out there and...

Sirius, I’m not good with children. Not the tiny ones anyway. I used to cheat a lot when we were babysitting Harry. And, if you think about it, you and me combined in one person?”

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

@FatedForAzkaban She tried to avoid his eye for a bit, terrified of what the outcome of this would be. He could reject them, throw them out, but she knew that was just the dramatics talking.

“I’m scared,” she admitted softly. “I never thought– I mean, I did before, but I honestly threw the –

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

@FatedForAzkaban – happens anyway, I should know, I’m a bloody healer. Heaven knows how many pregnant patients I’ve had,” she rambled on, quite in annoyance.

“But I’m keeping them. The child. I’m keeping the child whether you want them or not.”

Merlin, she wasn’t even sure she made her point.

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

@FatedForAzkaban – you can’t lose your mind. Because I’m pretty sure I’m about to lose mine.

And you have to know this was never deliberate. Of course not. It’s of the most terrible timing; there’s a war, and I don’t even know if you want this and I was careful the whole time, but this stuff –

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

@FatedForAzkaban – cooperates with her on this little... ‘project’ of theirs he doesn’t know shit about.

He’d be no use dead. She hasn’t even had the guts to tell him the truth yet.

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

@FatedForAzkaban “No. Well, except if you’re still insisting to go on the last suicide mission they discussed in the Order meeting,” she looked up at him, an eyebrow raised in question. “I don’t remember it much; I wasn’t really listening. But that’s a no.”

Honestly, why can’t he just –

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

– have to talk, right? This was fine. She didn’t have to say anything if he wasn’t going to ask anything.

And, if he did...

Well. She didn’t plan that far ahead.

@FatedForAzkaban

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

– miss him. A lot. Even when he’s just there and she sees him everyday. It’s the hormones, really.

So, before she talked herself out of it, she searched for Sirius in the house and, upon finding him, practically attached herself to his side.

They didn’t –

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

“Happy birthday, my love. I declare this entire week ‘birthday week,’ which means nothing but birthday cakes and birthday suits. You’re welcome.”

@FatedForAzkaban

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

Loves on @FatedForAzkaban because, well, why not? He’s a pretty handsome fella.

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

@RobTheGinger @brennalatz @Rubeus___Hagrid || Oh my gosh I’m super late to this but aaah meeting you guys and writing all sorts of weird stuff with you got me through some of the toughest times I’ve had so I’ll always be thankful for you guys 💖💖

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

I think @FatedForAzkaban needs to pay more attention to my mannerisms. Obviously, if I start avoiding him, that means I need him close to me at all times. Do I have to explain everything around here?

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

I know Remus was trying very hard today not to tell me to my face how moody I’ve become. I heard him mutter under his breath.

I don’t know what he’s talking about. I’ve always been moody. @FatedForAzkaban can attest to this.

[𝑨𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑴𝒄𝑮𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍. @AthenaMcG]

I’m at that stage where I’m moody and annoyed all the time and I really just want to be left alone to eat everything I want.

This is great! My “boyfriend” will leave me in no time even if the Ministry is chasing him.
