Title: Proud

Credits: =cloaks's Vintage Texture Pack V, ~redheadstock's light brushes for the sparkles and ~Eterea86's beautiful corner brushes.
Summary: "I hope you are aware of the responsibility this entails, young Lady."
Author's Notes: And does she ever. I\ve got little doubt that Minerva was a prefect in her day, it seems to fit. Her parents, and in my head, Minerva's parents are Vesta and Hamish McGillivray whom you may know from Crocky's fic universe, would have been proud, too.

This is marvelous! It totally has a period feel with the clothes and the silhouettes. But it also has the intimacy of a family moment too.

I'm glad you like them! :D

Excellent -- as always, your details are just so right. Minerva has grown perfectly since the image of her leaving on the train: her clothes and height and body are so clearly a 15-year-old's. And of course she always has her wand at hand. You can just see how proud she is. You've managed to make her parents seem so supportive, even in silhouette. And what's that behind her father's back? A surprise for his girl?

Thanks. :) Her father, to my mind, is a historian, and this is his time-turner, for in the wizarding world, practical historians get to time-travel there and back.

Adorable! Mineva's posture is so spot on for a proud fifteen-year-old, and like Kelly says, you let her age really well. Love the parents, too. A beautiful family moment -- one can tell how Minerva became so bright and confident.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! :)

This is gorgeous. Their postures so so much about all of them :)

Beautiful! I love the formality in this, despite it being a family moment. And the way that you coloured the prefect badge and the hourglass so that they stand out against the silhouettes.

Thanks! I think her mother would want to make this somewhat formal to make clear the importance of the occasion, and so, probably, would Minerva. :D

I just adore this! The detail in the silhouettes, especially the hair, is amazing, and the lighting is gorgeous and rich. So much personality comes out in their posture. Amazing!
