Coming back to the HP fandom after a decade just feels like getting hit by a train.

What is jegulily? Slytherin skittles ??? Rosekiller this, rosekiller that?? Who is Panda?—like Panda from JJK ???

Dorlene is cool?? poc aspiring divination professor with the jock lesbian who’s a chaser? Beater?? Keeper? Idk what’s going on but she’s got cool hair and an even cooler gf.

Why are Death Eaters cool now. Am I missing something here.

And what is going on with Mary?? (Not to sound like a nincompoop but back in my day when I was a youngin and consuming fanfic, Mary Macdonald was an Asian Muggleborn who wanted to be an entomologist like her parents???)

And then she received her letter and the only thing that changed was she wanted to become a magi-entomologist as well??? ??? When did the fandom change this?

Like it’s fine, that’s whatever, everyone consumes fandom at their own pleasure and interacts with it how they want to but like

What is going on here??

TW: shitty writing

I wake up, take a shower, change my clothes, and head to work. It’s always been like this. My name is Mary Macdonald. I am 27 years old, I live in London, by myself, and I work at a small cafe.

I don’t remember much from my teenage years, or my childhood, but that doesn’t worry me… yeah, it doesn’t.

A month after I started working here, really strange stuff has been happening, specifically, people I've never met before coming up to me and asking if I know them…

The first time this happened was with a man named Remus, he was all scarred up, and skinny, and looked really unhealthy. After I asked for a name, for his order he said this:

“Mary…”

“That’s me,” I smile awkwardly,

“Do you remember me?”

Of course I didn’t, but his name made me feel… I dunno, made me feel like I knew him, and his face, three large gashes from the left side of his forehead, barely missing his left eye, across his entire face until the right side of his jaw.

Anyway, another time there was this girl, I’ll never forget her... She came in once and when she saw me at the register a tear dropped from her eyes and she asked the same question that Remus guy did.

“Do you remember me?” Her voice was… it was like a welcoming fire, when I heard it I felt like I was at home, her slight accent made me want to shiver. I said no, and asked for her name and she said-

“Emmeline, Emmeline Vance… you used to call me Emmi,” another tear dropped from her eye. I got scared, was she asking for help? I asked if she’s alright, she was practically bawling at that point. She ran out before I could even give her her drink.

Then another guy… he kept visiting, and whenever he did he had a look of overwhelming guilt in his eyes. He’d always order the same thing,

“White Mocha,”

It was a quiet day, a Sunday I remember. He didn’t even get to speak. I knew his order by heart, anyways when he was waiting for his drink he came up to me, and opened up his wallet, he took out a picture.

It was a graduation photo, “with class of 77’” written on top. I could instantly recognize Peter, he was the chubby blonde one on the left, next to him, I couldn’t even begin to process them before the words came out of my mouth.

“Remus…” Peter’s head looked up at me, with a slightly surprised expression. “He came in one time… asked if he knew me…”

“What did you say?”

“I didn’t say anything,” I lied, I looked further, their names popping up in my head. I got to the girl between a ginger- Lily Evans and an Asian blonde girl- Marlene McKinnon. I couldn’t stop staring, she looked so familiar…

“Is that me?” I looked up at Peter- or at where Peter was supposed to be. He vanished. On the table, was £10 for the drink, and more photos,

Me and Emmeline, hand in hand

Me, Lily and Marlene, making flower crowns with Pandora

Me and Peter, painting each other's nails, drunk.

‘How do I know these people?!’

-

It’s been eleven years. It's May 2nd 1998.

I didn’t know why, but I just know they’re dead. For sure, all of them, and it made me want to bawl my eyes out and breakdown.

A young lad comes in, he looks like he was just at war.

“Hello! Could I get a name for your order?”

“Harry,” I looked into his green eyes for a millisecond.

My heart stopped.

“Lily…”

Chapter 11 of Paper Walls, Broken Boy, is on AO3 now! Sometimes things fall apart dramatically, and sometimes they just... don't.

“Hi.” Sirius leant against the wall, one arm resting on the banister while the other cradled his blue jumper. “How’d the exam go?”

“Good, good,” Remus said, nodding along. “Listen, I’ve been wanting to talk to you. Can we talk?”

Sirius reached for his door handle. “Sure, I just need to freshen up. Give me a sec.” And with that he disappeared into his bedroom, closing the door in Remus’s face.

hi ilan!! do you have any emmeline or mary headcanons (not necessarily as a ship, just whatever <33)

BESTIE HI sorry it took me so long to answer this!!!! yes yes i have sooo many ok. so i did an emmeline one a bit ago, here is the link for that!!

here are some mary hcs and a bit more emmeline for u!!!

mary macdonald

⁃ east asian & english (baba is asian, mum is from england, the three of them moved to luton when she was a baby)

⁃ blue eyes & very long, dark straight hair

⁃ lesbian but. extreme comphet

⁃ demisexual

⁃ very, very shy & quiet

⁃ bullied as a kid

⁃ muggle born (not a hc but its relevant)

⁃ fav color is orange but she doesn’t wear it often bc. bullies lol

⁃ had a relationship with benjy fenwick in her fifth year before realizing she was a lesbian

⁃ doesn’t like to swear, but does so sometimes to try to impress lily evans, aka her big fat lesbian crush <3

⁃ (lily knows she hates doing it so she just hugs her tightly and tells her not to change who she is for other people. mary cherishes that for a long while)

⁃ after the war, mary lives the most heteronormative life imaginable. distances herself from magical folk and marries a muggle man (i like the hc that she is mary cattermole, reg cattermole’s wife from dh)

⁃ totally a cat person. they understand each other

⁃ mary always used to wear tones of blue and grey and white, until her fourth year at hogwarts. then she began wearing anything she wanted without fear of bullying & got into punk culture, shaved her head with lily’s help (she really was super smitten oh my god).

⁃ loves listening to american jazz, it’s what her baba always played on the records at home

⁃ astronomy and divination are her best subjects

⁃ goes to the forbidden forest to feed the unicorns whenever she’s feeling thoughtful

⁃ gryffindor (canon) but always doubts the sorting hat for it. she doesnt think of herself as very brave

⁃ she and lily kissed once (okay, a few times) and they were the best kisses of mary’s life. she wishes she could take it back sometimes.

⁃ james potter helped her get out of her shell a bit. she finds him very funny, and acknowledges his presence in a quiet way. he always tries to make her included in conversation

⁃ although every time lily would rant about him she would offer good advice

⁃ very observant

⁃ loves scarves

⁃ loves winter

⁃ loves the full moon

⁃ she finds the shrieking shack very interesting. she loves horror stories and had always wanted to go sneak in, but was too nervous to tell lily and marlene and dorcas about it, so she never went. she always wondered what sort of creature made those wails.

⁃ fancied mcgonagall & was jealous of pomfrey before she knew what a crush was

⁃ patronus is a tiger. after the war, it changed, but mary didn’t know, of course, because she never did magic again

- doesn’t think of herself as having many friends even though she Does

emmeline vance

never buys her own popcorn at a movie theatre, always steals from someone else

always taking everyone’s food and making it hers <3

stealing a fry from helle’s plate and taking mary’s ketchup etc etc

LOTS of anxiety but pretends she is untouchable!!!!

her mom is Asian but her dad is English so they lived in England and she went to Hogwarts

a little shy

always nice to everyone

Chapter 12 of Paper Walls, Move On, is up on AO3 now. After the blast comes the fallout.

“Remus, I…” James sighed again, and the floorboards creaked as he stood. Remus followed the sound of his footsteps over to the window, where he braced his forearm against the sash and leant forwards to look down on the street below. “I’m worried. I’m worried about him, and about you. Are you OK?”
