mary's stupid ugly boyfriend <33

mary is remus' bi awakening (he thought he was 100% faggot...) when they're like thirteen and mary's like a friend of a friend of a friend (remus's friend peter's friend marlene's friend mary) and they barely ever talk but remus thinks mary is the prettiest girl in the world and he's very awkward and makes bad jokes whenever they're together (rare) and laughs too hard. mary thinks he's endearing but weird and cringe and she has no reason to like him (ugly, poor, weird) but she's like... i'll keep you around ig.

they get a bit closer when mary and sirius become friends in like fifthhhish year because sirius brings mary around to the dorm (usually so she brings lily for james etc etc) and remus is still in love with her but shyer so he just offers chocolate awkwardly and recommends her books based on whatever he sees her reading. mary's like i'm on a diet and i've read that but um... okay. she doesn't hate him she literally has no feelings on him and forgets he exists the minute he's out of sight, and remus is glad for that because 1) if she knew him she'd hate him 2) she's clever & would find out he's a werewolf 3) he would go insane worrying over what mary thought of him BUT it also sucks because he just wants mary to like him, too

exam season comes around and mary's doing an internship and she can't study a lot, she goes to lily but lily's snarky (affectionate) and sirius and he's snarky (derogatory) and she's still in sirius' dorm, thinking of going to maybe james or dorcas when remus comes in from the library and she thinks waitt a minute...

so remus "tutors" mary (summarizes and colour codes all her notes then reads them out to her) and they actually get to talking. mary's sweet and pretty and funny and remus' feelings increase tenfold and he would literally die for her, she touches his arm and makes fun of his handwriting and, once, she touched his face when brushing back the hair from his forehead and he literally short circuited and died

mary starts developing a crush on him and she hatesss it she's like i don't DO romance for personal feelings ewww (<- lie. she is lying to herself. she's fallen for everyone she's dated.) and she tries to bully him around and she feels so bad because he gets all quiet and apologizes and brings her a gift the next day ,,,. once exam season is over and summer break starts she forgets him and dates some muggle boy from her neighbourhood but once she's back remus is still nice and cute and thinks they're friends and mary finds that insulting, a little, because her social circle is elite and small, but she knows remus doesn't know that because he doesn't know any gossip and she hates that she knows that but it's. whatever. she's totally not warming up to him again. she's totally detached and only hangs out with him because if she doesn't he'll be lonely.

Rarepair Week Day 2: Ocean

Seamus kicked the water as he walked along the shore. He couldn’t see anyone other than Mr. and Dr. Strickler flying out over the ocean. He could, however, hear everyone else playing on the other side of the dunes.

*Splash!*

A wave crashed down over his head. He doubled over spluttering.

“Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills,” Mary flicked her tail at him, “What’s eating you?”

Mary sat quietly at the Gryffindor table, it had been November and the leaves had started to fall. 🍂 Lily and Marlene were talking about Boys and special muggle coffee with this pumpkin spice thing.

As Mary glanced at Remus, a boy she had a crush on for as long as she could remember. He was across from her sleeping with his arms around him, as his friends spoke about Pranks, Quidditch, and Hogsmeade. She slipped a paper to Remus, under the weight of his body.

'Please Rem, meet me up at the Astronomy Tower. We have something to discuss, please. If your not busy, the time is around 10:00pm.

With that, Mary went on her merry way. As Remus woke up, he found a piece of paper when he woke up. He recognized the writing. Mary's. Without a second thought, he send to his classes during the day and waited until it was time for them to meet.

Later that day, Mary waited by railing of the Astronomy Tower, looking at her muggle watch. Worried for him. About twenty minutes later, Remus entered the top of the tower. Trying to catch his breath after a long time. When Mary turned seeing his face. She ran towards Remus, and embraced him.

"Oh Rem, I've been so worried. Why didn't you tell me?" She asked, breaking away.

Remus, who was worried she found out pulled away slowly.

"It's alright, I inherited it from my mother." Remus said simply.

Mary shook her head.

"No..., I mean. Your monthly disappearances."

His eyes grew wide, had she figured it out? He wasn't sure.

"I, I've known for a few months now. The disappearances, James; Peter, and Sirius sneaking out of school with you in the dead of night. I saw the signs, after our D.A.D.A. class. Rem, why didn't you tell me?" Mary asked, tears began to escape. Her voice horse.

Remus couldn't continue to look at her as she cried.

Remus just embraced her, let her cry on his shoulder. Him trying to hold back his tears.

"I didn't want to lose you, you not wanting to be my friend anymore. I am what I am, I am a Monster Mary. I don't think many would be friends with a werewolf." He replied.

Mary stopped sobbing to look at him, her eyes red and puffy from crying. She whispered in his ear.

"Remus John Lupin, you are one of my best friends. Did you ever think I never felt like a Monster myself? Someone who doesn't belong? I love you, and you can't change that. I mean look at me." She said, revealing her forearms.

Showing the scars and bruises she received from Mulciber's assult a few weeks ago. Due to her blood status and or being a blood traitor. Her forearms still hurt, it hadn't healed yet.

Remus shook his head, as he pulled her sleeves down and held her closer.

"Mary, you are always beautiful to me. You will always have my heart, and will always fit in with me. I love you too."

From that moment, Remus took the opportunity to kiss her.

The kiss was soft, and passionate. Both able to show their feelings and appreciation to one another.

From that moment on, Mary and Remus never kept anything from one another again.

Mary MacDonald ✖ Gryffindor ✖ 6th Year ✖ FC: Sarah Bolger ✖ Status: Open

Born to a muggle family, Mary knew nothing about her magical abilities until she was ten years old. She was always into sports, never really one for dresses and tea parties. She didn’t have any siblings but was often playing with her neighbours outside, usually walking into her home with mud covered shoes and a messy ponytail, her clothes always covered in grass stains. It was when Mary somehow summoned water to put a fire out on her parents stove that she soon learned that there was indeed something special about herself.

When Mary received the owl from Hogwarts, her parents were indeed weary, Professor Dumbledore needing to come for a personal visit to truly explain Mary’s talents. He even accompanied them to Diagon Alley, showing them many of the things that she would need for her first year as a student at Hogwarts.  The moment Mary saw a window displaying Quidditch supplies, she was hooked, asking Professor Dumbledore anything and everything she needed to know about the sport.

At her sorting hat ceremony, the hat was barely over her head before it screamed out Gryffindor. From that moment on, Mary was focused to not let her lineage deter her from becoming a great witch. Her first time on a broom, Madam Hooch called her a natural, and when it came to Quidditch, Mary caught her first snitch in only two minutes. She quickly became close friends with the boys, them seeing her as ‘one of the guys’ instantaneously, though she is often a victim of the Marauder’s pranks, all fairly lighthearted, which she never fails to get back at them for with her own mischievous ways.

Sadly, Mary is often the victim of many Slytherin curses, almost all of them coming from one imparticular, Mulciber. She keeps this as quiet as possible, not wanting to be looked at as a victim, her pride far too important to her. She is aware that she is not the only student that is singled out, though she isn’t aware whom the other Slytherins use as their own personal punching bags, so to speak. Mary however is determined to end the abuse, though first, she needs to draw out those who are too scared to speak out.

Mary does well in all of her classes, especially Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall holds Mary in high regards, many of Mary’s classmates believing her to be the Head of Gryffindor’s favorite. Quidditch pretty much rules her life while at Hogwarts though, extremely competitive and always trying to gather the team for extra practices, something that causes irritation in her teammates.

                                                       Other facts:

✖  Mary’s prized possession is her broom as well as the first snitch she ever caught, the former always kept safely underneath he bed of her dorm with a privacy spell placed on it.

✖  Having never really had female friends, Mary is grateful how quickly she bonded with her dormmates, Marlene McKinnon, Lily Evans and Dorcas Meadowes.
