Title: Ghosts.
Characters: Lily Evans, Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall, Dougal McGregor.
Rating: G.
Credits: Lily by ~Gracies-Stock and Dougal by ~Johnny-Yong, texture by `cloaks, grass and flowers by !ro-stock.
Summary: Sometimes, if the light was right, in the hours around dawn, they almost seemed close enough to touch.
A/N: Severus and Minerva being haunted by the ghosts of their past - Lily and Dougal. Loved ones who died remain a part of you, and navigating a relationship around those still half-with you must be pretty challenging. Yes, I caved in and did something Pottermore-backstory-related and kitschily indulgent. Apologies!

Credits given in posts for individual images
Characters: Minerva McGonagall, her family, Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore,
Artist's Notes: My version of Minerva McGonagall's biography from before birth to her seventies from 2010. I never got round to posting these, but here they are now. I'm not happy with all of them anymore and surprisingly happy with others in hindsight.
Anyway, here they are, each is a click-through link to the entry with a larger version.

Sunday, September 11th, 2011 03:28 pmYes, I ought to be preparing lessons for Monday - I still need to finish my one-page-guide on how to write an essay, come up with fourteen mini-research topics for next Friday and a way to explain gender to the unenlightened.
Also, is it just me, or is Pottermore just a slightly less interactive, official, child-proofed version of HEX?
And I must say I diasagree with the house system. Not that I mind being placed in Ravenclaw, but what about a violin, a forest, and a preference for saving valuable spellbooks over school administration documents and teacher's property says "Ravenclaw"?
Hrumph. It's a nice time-sink so far, in a point-and-click kid of way. Anyone else on there, though? Let's be buddies (I'm SilverSky77).
( And as for Minerva's backstory )
