ok but imagine the marauders, the girls and the skittles all carving their names into a tree at Richmond Park in the summer of 77. thats so cute :)
but then in 81 they all die, bar remus, sirius, peter and mary. but peter is "dead" and sirius is imprisoned and remus is alone and mary had obliviated herself...
but then imagine a few years later, mary is walking through Richmond Park with her younger, muggle brother and doesn't understand why she has been drawn to a tree with familiar names, lily, james, sirius...
and then she finds her own name and imagines a world filled with magic and fairytales and enchanted castles and a beautiful ginger girl with a beautiful freckled smile and a friend group she could call family and everyting was happy and joyous- but no. no, because that would be silly, and not at all possible in this muggle universe.
