james complaining about sirius and remus pining and being so oblivious to effie and effie just going i know i’ve been there thinking about how long it took minnie and poppy to get together

[shipsgaysfordays]

Pomfrey: Ugh, I got barely any sleep last night

Sprout: And why do you think that is? What’s the prognosis, how much longer do you have left dear?

Pomfrey *scoffs*: I’m completely healthy, it’s just…my cat

McGonagall: *winks*

Sprout *giving a side eye*: Yeah, right, some cat that is

[moonyswarmsweaters]

Sirius , to the Marauders , lying facedown on his bed, regretting everything: and then I called her Mom

McGonagall, talking to Poppy, on the verge of tears: and then he called me Mom

[lolo-gay]

One random day in the Great Hall

Bellatrix : The Noble House of Black will always be on top !

Remus : *spits out his pumpkin juice and starts laughing uncontrollably*

Sirius : *blush furiously while trying to get Remus to shut up bc everyone is looking at them*

James : *trying for his deer life (and failing) to understand what's so funny*

Lily : *smirks* *just smirks*

Pomfrey : I KNEW IT ! MY BOY'S THE TOP ! HA ! I TOLD YOU MINERVA ! MY BOY'S THE DOM !

Minnie : *gives her 5 galleons while looking visibly frustrated and glaring at Sirius*

Remus : *laughs even harder if it's possible*

Regulus : *trying to forget the horrible traumatic images that are forming in his head and silently crying*

[theprongspotter]

Euphemia: *sighs*

McGonagall: They never listen, do they?

Pomfrey, rubbing her temples: It’s exhausting.

Hope: Being a mom is hard.

James, sitting down beside them: Tell me about it.

Teddy Lupin raised by Minerva McGonagall and Poppy Pomfrey.

[rudamaruda520]

Minerva: *takes a sip of her tea* So what's bothering you honey?

Lily: I think I am gay...

Minerva: Why is that?

Lily: It's just every time I look at Mary I get this funny feeling in my belly... and I can look at her face all the time, and I want to protect her and be close to her at all times and when she's happy I'm happy too... And her skin looks so soft... And sometimes I don't actually hear what she's saying cause I'm mesmerised by her eyes...

Minerva: Oh, it just is like that sometimes... That doesn't mean you are gay... I feel the same about Poppy, but it's just something that every woman feels, you know?

Lily:

Lily: ...To be honest, now I think that you are also gay...

[isabel-lillah]

so we all agree the professors were betting on different relationships of their students, right

but I present to you the students betting on whether McGonagall and Poppy are together

the whole thing was started by Remus, and then it spread through the whole castle like a wildfire

legend says Slughorn once stopped Lupin in the corridor to place a bet too

[rottinggcarcass]

it's so embarrassing to be into the background characters who are barely ever expanded on. i'm out here being excited over cut content.

okay so, this is specifically about poppy playtime, and it's for the slash ship between huggy wuggy and kissy missy.

no, i am not talking about the children who got turned into toys.

i am talking about these two goofballs:

y'know, the actual personalities of the toys themselves.

they're so cute, and i need more content of them together. there's an official description out there calling her his "better half", and they dare not include more content of them together?

i love pairings where they're literally just matching like this. it never gets old.

oh, and this is the cut art i was geeked over+ an unused halloween promotional material:

[liainbold]

nobleflower fic except it's McGonagall's pov and you also have a super domestic and cozy mother figure wiseflower as the second main couple. i said what i said.

Minerva Mcgonagall was crazy in love with Poppy Pomfrey, Elphinstone Urquartfell fell for a man from work. They liked and respected each other, so they made a deal - lavender marriage. Elphinstone bought nice house in Hogsmeade where theoreticly he lived with his wife. Practiclly he was there maximum once for two months and never stayed for long, because of "necessary, eternally prolonged business trips" with one specific coworker. No one was suprised that Minerva was lonely and needed a company of her dear friend. There was one thing that was missing.

A child.

Elphinstone couldn't see himself as a father figure, but he wasn't against being a cool uncle. For Poppy it was like a sweet dream, a thought in the back of her head. And Minerva wanted to be a mother more than anything in the world. She loved studying and working, she wouldn't abandon it, but something in her heart wanted to give and recive this type of unconditional love, to see a baby becoming a teenager and then an adult. She was in seventh heaven when after a year of unpleasant attempts, she was told that she will have a son.

Minnie and Poppy started to prepare themselves for the arrival. They painted the walls in a previously empty room, decorated it and put as many toys as possibile. They would lay together on the floor or the bed and just talk about small things that they wanted to do with their little boy.

Poppy left for a weekend to finish her research on dragon pox, while Minerva was working on creating a new spell. One night Minnie woke up almost crying from pain. When Elphinstone came back sooner than he expected, he found his wife in the bathroom, crying, with blood flowing down her legs. He was terified. He tried to help her, but when he touched her she started to scream even lauder, so he called Poppy. She came as soon as she could and held Minerva in her arms (after checking that she wasn't in any danger) while Elphinstone was cleaning the bathroom. Then, only one thing was certain. Minerva had a misscarrige. The next day, a healer told them that due to past health problems Mcgonagall won't be able to carry a pregnancy to term. They never talked about it again.

Elphinstone died few months after that in an accident in Europe. To keep herself occupied and feel needed Minerva started to work as a teacher in Hogwarts to see young people grow and develop. She was living happily with Poppy at her side.

Yet still after many years she would stop for a few seconds in front of the closed door to the childredn's room from which not a single thing was ever taken.

is it everything your heart desired?

here’s the masterpost, finally

Summary: Minerva and Poppy meet while working at Hogwarts, both intrigued by each other, why had they never met before? They couldn’t possibly have met given how both are enthralled by the other.

Then again, things change, life happens, and relationships differ over time.

Rip, Maggie Smith 🕊️💔. You will be missed greatly by us Potterheads, who you raised like you did to harry and sirius, and we are grateful you're in a better place now.

Minerva McGonagall is a lesbian

[buckley-is-hotter]

Of course James Potter was Minerva’s favorite. Fleamont is her best friend and she is James Godmother after all.
