Characters: Minerva McGonagall, family.
A/N: I always wondered what it would be like for Hogwarts staff to have their children attend Hogwarts, and what that'd be like for the children. Being a teacher's child is bad enough without being a teacher's child at the only wizarding school in Britain. 



Albus, another Gryffindor, she mused, maintained that the hat was impartial, but given that it was Gryffindor's, Minerva had her doubts. Over the years, she had gotten rather good at guessing which student would end up in which house, but there was still the moment when the hat made them one of hers, and she would spent the rest seven years denying the stronger connection she felt towards her own. She knew her grading was as impartial as possible, but she still worried, second-guessed, and feared. 

This time, however, it was impossible to stay all too impartial, because seeing her, her nervous apprehension and joy at finally being here was like looking into a mirror. 

She suppressed a smile as she raised the hat in invitation to sit down on the stool and shushed the voice that kept saying her own house's name, daring the hat to say any other.

Characters: Minerva McGonagall, Albus Dumbledore and Sorting Hat.



"Congratulations, Deputy Headmistress."

She was too tense to answer right away and thus only nodded, accepting the scroll with the student's names, securing the Sorting Hat in her other hand carefully. It weighed more than the faded exterior had made her anticipate and she fought the urge to put it on again. 

Uncannily, Albus seemed to realise this, eyes twinkling, and Minerva briefly wondered what this expression would look like on a younger face. 

"Any instructions?"

"As you know most first years don't realise what the sorting entails. They will welcome the calming sight of a responsible adult."

Minerva nodded.

Characters: Minerva McGonagall and child.
Summary: I can imagine Minerva marrying young, the marriage not lasting very long and both taking turns parenting their child, though said child would have had to stay with her father most of the time. Here she's enjoying a rare stay at Hogwarts.

Characters: cat!Minerva and family.
Summary: Even though she loved them, Minerva had no time to stay at home very often because teaching at Hogwarts was a thoroughly demanding job. 
Author's Notes:  A/N: From 2010. Headcanon again, I'm afraid - I like the thought that Hogwarts is less monastic than Harry's view has us believe, but I also think that working at a boarding school would put a strain on relationships and families. In my headcanon the father looked after Minerva's child most of the time due to that fact.

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.

Pairing(s): Minerva / Poppy
Rating: G
Summary: "No, Minerva, there's nothing you could have done." - Minerva holding a vigil at Hermione's Basilisk-petrified body, Poppy Pomfrey lending some comfort and a hot cuppa.
Author's Notes: Less colourful than the previous silhouettes because I felt more drabness was appropriate to the scene. I don't know why Poppy's head turned out this big, but I suspect it's her wimple. Also, I like it when my art passes the Bechdel/Wallace test. Credit: texture by =cloaks.

Title: Cornucopia
Pairing: Pomona/Rosmerta
Rating: G
Credits: ~gvalkyrie's great Flower Brush Set and Suddenly Spring brush set, *Lileya's equally great Floral and Foliar brush set.
Summary: Professor Sprout and Madam Rosmerta sharing a quiet moment away from the students. They're awesome and both are named after goddesses of plenty. Since it's the season of Harvest Festivals, this seemed fitting, and there have to be sparkles, because magic requires sparkles.
Notes: I do realise it's virtually impossible to tell who these people are. Especially with Rosmerta I was a bit at a loss, and Sprout's hat is most likely the only thing that shows it's meant to be her since the fly-away hair did not turn out that great. There's also an orange version, but I'm happier with theg green one.

Heads of House brushing up relevant skills for the Yule Ball. Not entirely successful on the part of the Head of Slytherin, which is part of the reason why he ended leaving early with Karkaroff and skulking around among the rose bushes, leaving the hosting duty of the other guests to the other Heads of House.

Yes, this is silly, but I got tired of preparing for the teach-a-thon of doom.

Still playing around with silhouettes. I love silhouettes. And big noses.

Sadly, I'm still having some anatomy troubles - don't ask how long Severus' arm is in this picture.

It's fairly embarrassing to admit, but usually when I try drawing people and mean business I take Rebecca's wooden figure, put it in the position I want it in, take a photo, put that in a background layer and paint my human over that. ~Professional~, I know. Yesterday I tried painting without my anatomy reference. Behold. I think I'll stick to silhouettes for a while, they're fun.
