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 😅

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

ace he/him

capricorn

6'3"

nigerian on his mothers side

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
