Filius Flitwick Headcanons
born 14th March 1947 (making him like 12 years younger than McGonagall)
so not the first film's version haha
pisces
he/him
3'8"
music lover
his goblin ancestory comes from his mothers side of the family
his mother, Fauna Flitwick was actually terrible at charms
his father, Hector Flitwick was a duelling master and a curse breaker
Filius first showed signs of magic when he was 2 days old, when he made everything in his room float for a few seconds
Filius went to muggle primary school (his dad was muggleborn and his mother left wizarding society due to being quarter goblin)
he was bullied for being a "dwarf" and for being "weird"
when he was 9 his father was killed in a duel
he was nearly sorted into Hufflepuff but his wit and creativity made him more fit for Ravenclaw
when he started at Hogwarts, McGonagall had only been teaching there for two years and was not yet Deputy or Head of Gryffindor (Dumbledore was before he became Headmaster)
his favourite teacher was his Charms teacher, also his Head of House
her name was Proffesor Cackle-Weather, and she was friends with Hector
she always had a soft spot for Filius
he was friendly with many of his teachers especially Cackle-Weather, McGonagall, Dumbledore and Sprout
Filius learned how to cast a Patronus in fifth year, it is a dove, small and powerful like him
he kind of reminds me of a magician
he got 10 O.W.L.s in Charms, DADA, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, Astronomy, History of Magic, Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies and Study if Ancient Runes
before his sixth year his mother passed
Proffesor Cackle-Weather let him live with her during that time
he became close with her daughter Celena
they move to London together after Hogwarts
after Hogwarts he became a duelling master like his father at age 19
when he turned 21 he became a proffesor at Hogwarts
Celena worked at St. Mungos
they married when Flitwick was 27
they had no children
Flitwick did not become Head of Ravenclaw by the time the Marauders attended Hogwarts, but the year they left Cackle-Weather retired and Flitwick replaced him
lily was one of his best charms students
so were fred and george
hermione and draco were quite skilled too š
Celena was killed by Dolohov at the Battle of Hogwarts
which is why Flitwick killed him
Flitwick became Deputy Head to McGonagall and kinda threw himself into work
McGonagall is there for him as she understands his loss
he retires at 80

hufflepuff 100%
friendly with Remus and Lily during his hogwarts years
he was definetely a prefect lmao
probably on good terms with James Potter
was terrible at Quidditch and broomstick flying
got N.E.W.T.s in DADA, Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology, Muggle Studies, Potions and Arithmancy
a smart boi
joined the first Order of the Pheonix just after graduating as an Auror when he was 21
it was very shortly before the end of the first wizarding war
trained under Rufus Scrimgeour (very few people trained under Mad-Eye, because he's so well sought after and he's very paranoid about who to trust and to train)
did prove himself to Alastor eventually though, and they became good friends
i think he may have even been a DADA teacher one year during the time between the wars bur then returned to his Auror job
he encouraged Tonks to become an Auror despite everyone telling her she isn't fit for the job
was close with Frank and Alice Longbottom and often joined them on Auror mission
helped Tonks when she was worried about failing her Auror examinations
was the leading expert on Muggle Studies in the Auror office, which is why it was him who was sent to become the muggle prime ministers personal body guard
had a nice bond with Hermione, she often goes to him for advice on her career and personal life too
completely changed the ministry of magic's attitude to the wizarding world
he got rid of any laws that enabled blood supremacy, racism, classism and predudice about muggles
Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody Headcanons
scorpio
he/him
ocd
6'2"
comes from a long line of aurors
his parents were aurors, as were there parents
none of his grandparents lived to meet him, they all died on the job
gryffindor (hatstall for slytherin tho)
when he started his first year, McGonagall was a fifth year prefect
he was actually really rebellious in his early years
and quite reckless
would end up in the hospital wing quite often
would often transfigure students into different animals as a prank
leading to a large telling off from McGonagall
she was secretly proud of his transfiguration abilities for such a young wizard
she encouraged him to join gryffindor quidditch team as a keeper as McGonagall was the captain
he always wanted to be an auror just like his parents
lost his dad in his fourth year
became a lot more serious after that
taught himself how to cast a patronus in his sixth year
it is a bull, but he prefers to cast it non-corporeally so his identity is more hidden
qualified from Hogwarts with N.E.W.T.s in DADA, Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology
was one of the best Aurors by the time he was 25
he used to train many new recruits but his sixth mentee turned out to be a mole he didn't take on anymore
this gave him severe trust issues
gets very paranoid and has to make sure 3 times to make sure everything safe
taught himself occlumency
never accepts drinks from anybody
despite being extra cautious, due to being a high ranking auror, he is targeted quite alot which leads to him getting injured a lot
due to the excessive spell damage he recieves, his scars cannot be healed
he lost his eye from a death eater
he created his own new eye
when he met Tonks, she reminded him so much of himself as a child that he could not help but bond with her
she was the first person he mentored since having his trust broken
his sense of humour comes out with her around
its mainly sarcasm and dry wit
he definetely calls Tonks by her first name just to annoy her
she helped him to be hopeful and more trusting once again
until Barty Crouch Junior impersonated her and kidnapped him and lived out his life for a year
Mundungus Fletcher was a useful asset to Mad-Eye as he was usually his underground guy and was good at giving information
he's not always forth coming but a jinx or two always works
as soon as they were ambushed during the Battle of Seven Potters, Mad-Eye knew someone must have gotten the information from Mundungus
he died a few minutes later, after trying to get Mundungus to stick to the plan
had Mundungus not gotten cold feet, he could have easily survived a duel with Voldemort
Bill and Fleur, who witnesses Mad-Eyes demise, named their firstborn daughter Victoire Alastriona Weasley, after Mad-Eye
although Remus and Bill never managed to find his body, they found the broom he was riding before Mundungus dissapperated
when the Ministry of Magic was taken over, they found his body and transfigured it into a bone
Umbridge was the one who did this (with the power of the locket horcrux) and she took his powerful eye for herself

That's a VERY popular opinion.... It would've been absolutely fantastical if the "doomed boy" āØjustāØ grew up to be employed in the very post that seemed doomed, too. I, personally, would've loved that more than anything.
Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no issues with him being Head Auror... But sometimes, the minds yearns to stray and think of how it would've been if Harry had been Minister for Magic, or a superstar Quidditch player, or like the post mentions, the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
In my opinion, after the war Harry should have become the Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
Thanks professor!
I feel like we, as a fandom, failed to acknowledge the fact that Professor Pomona Sprout and Professor Filius Flitwick were CANONICALLY EXES.
Can you imagine the drama? Like bro? Why did we overlook this? This is even better than any civil war EVER!
And here's the second and third prompts from this week for #MCtober. Took longer than I thought it would to finish this but I'm actually pretty satisfied with how it turned out.
---
Favorite class: Charms! Transfiguration and History of Magic are a close second and third. I figure Jeanne likes the practical lessons and how useful the material is on the reg. I mean, accio and levitation charms alone would be revolutionary for someone who's never been able to use magic before. Professor Ronen definitely makes the class a million times more entertaining too.
Least favorite class: Divination. Jeanne sucks at it and she's not particularly interested in how awful her future is anyway. However, it becomes much more bearable thanks to Professor Onai.
Favorite teacher: Sharp. He reminds her of her dad, in both good ways and bad lol. His lectures make her feel right at home.

Hobbies and clubs: Dueling club!!! And she'd probably join chior if she had the time as well. She learned how to sing when she was in regular muggle school (her mother insisted she should), and she actually quite enjoys it.
High Dumbledore
Right so Iām 110% convinced that DumbledoreĀ was just high as a kite throughout the entire series. Like after Grindlewald and the first rise of Voldemort he decides he's had enough of being serious. Heās got enough money that it won't matter if he gets fired, and heās got enough of a reputation that he thinks he can get away with it. So he just decides to live his life very high and manipulating other people to do various things to entertain him.Ā
Most people donāt even notice, and think heās just an eccentric genius. The people who do becomeĀ suspicious drop it because they have never seen him smoke or take any other drug. But, heās actually laced his lemon dropsĀ with his drug of preference (nothing to hardcore).Ā He manages to avoid suspicion by offering them to absolutely everyone, completely secure in the knowledge no one else would ever accept one.Ā
(Also imagine one day some 6th or 7th year student actually accepts on and Dumbledore just letās him/her take it and they go on a wild trip in Dumbledoreās office. They have learned his secret. Now Dumbledore winks at them whenever he publicly eats a lemon drop, and this poor student is left with the truth and the knowledge that no one would ever believe them.)
