Do you have any Snape/McGonagall friendship headcanons? I adore your blog btw!!

Minerva notices Severus has a nervous fidget.  She teaches him how to knit because it’s a good way to keep one’s hands busy.

It becomes their Sunday afternoon ritual to take tea and knit together while Pomona and Fliwick are doing the rounds.

In the summer, Minerva invites Severus to visit her for a week.  She lets him putter around in her herb garden and take clippings for potions ingredients.

They complain ALL THE TIME about stupid things that their students (or the DADA professor of the year) has done.

Minerva is one of the only other Hogwarts professors who knows that Severus’ patronus is a doe.

Minerva lets Severus pet her in cat form. Also pick her up and carry her around. She quite likes it.  So does he.

Severus taught Minerva how to play cribbage.

Minerva taught Severus how to play wizard’s chess the Scottish way (it is like 10X more violent).

They snipe at each other about Quidditch all the time but neither of them are actually hardcore Quidditch fans.

They always share Wizard Crackers at Christmas. One year Severus got a stuffed tabby cat with spectacle markings.  Minerva got a plush bat.  They both thought this was hilarious.

Minerva always gets stiff finger joints the first few weeks of winter as the weather gets colder.  Severus has perfected a tonic that helps her to reverse the pain and limited range of movement.

Minerva doesn’t care that Severus was a Death Eater. She once joined a Muggle biker gang one drunken night after brawling in a pub and has the tattoo to prove it.

Minerva was the first one to ask Severus to call her by her first name when he first started working at Hogwarts.

She’d never tell him, but she foiled the Marauders many times over the years when they were trying to prank Severus.  She never knew about the Marauder’s Map, which allowed them to bypass most of the teachers so they could sneak up and attack Severus.

They’ve fallen asleep on the couch together before after a particularly tough night, their heads leaned against one another in exhaustion.

Minerva and Severus - brotp headcanons

When examining Minerva and Severus’ friendship, it’s logical that you’d start with when their paths initially crossed:  September ’71 to July ’78.  In this period, Minerva is Severus’ teacher.  She’s in a position of power over him, and is the Head of…not just a rival house, but the Head of the one that his bullies are part of, the one his ex-best friend is in, and the one he held in such disdain.  And so, my favourite headcanon is that little 11 year old Severus Snape hates Minerva McGonagall.  

(More under the cut.  A LOT more.  This is a bit of a favourite topic.)

Research for Writers: How to Do It

So, you want to write a story involving something that you know literally nothing about. (Cool, same!) We’ve all been there before; if you’ve landed at this post, you’ve come to the right place. In this post, we’re going to cover the basics of research and using information, as well as verifying your sources, and other ways to reach out.

But first: why should I do research in the first place?

There’s a whole boatload of reasons you should conduct research in your writing. Here are some of the largest or most popular reasons:

You’re writing a story set in a different time period, and you want to be historically accurate.

One of your characters does or knows something you don’t know as much about.

You’re writing about a character who is a part of a community that you’re not in, and you want to be respectful.

You’re doing world-building and want to learn about different biomes and climates.

Bear in mind, these are just a few of the reasons that you might choose to do research - any reason to learn more about something is a valid one! Let’s break down how to do quality research for your writing.
