Headcanon: Professor McGonagall has a muggle wife she never mentions to the students, because they never ask.
Four years after Harryās left Hogwarts he visits McGonagallās home to talk her out of retirement, and the door is opened by a woman he doesnāt recognise. Confused, he introduces himself and asks to see McGonagall. The woman recognises the name and invites him in, saying Minerva will be home soon. She then talks a mile a minute, but not about the war - about the stories sheās heard about the golden trio from their head of house. About how Harry stood up to Umbridge, and how clever Hermione was, and how Ron had been able to beat her chess game, and how PROUD Minerva was of them all.
By the time McGonagall does arrive, Harry and her wife are chatting like old friends. Minveraās wife calls her things like āDarlingā and āPumpkin.ā Harry cannot believe his ears.
Harry is invited to tea every Wednesday from then on. He always looks forward to it.
but lets be real here, even with theĀ ādarlingās andĀ āpumpkinās Harry still wouldnāt catch on and heād go home and tell Ginny all about McGonagallās lovely gal-pal and Ginny would have to be likeĀ ābabeā¦that was her wifeā
Youāre right, fuck! How could I forget how deeply unobservant Harry is?!
āTheyāre lesbians, Harold.ā
